Xie Ji'an's face was stiff and his expression was downcast: "I never thought things would turn out like this. If I had known earlier, if I had known earlier... sigh..."
He let out a long sigh.
He didn't say anything more.
He never thought he was stupid, but now... he's probably the first person to make his junior sister angry, right?
Xie Ji'an's face was full of self-reproach. Song Yanzhuo looked at him, his brows furrowed, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After a while, he said, "Now that things have come to this, you have no choice but to take the initiative to find your junior sister. Of course, you don't have to tell her that you can hear his thoughts, but rather you have to please her, like by giving her something."
"What should I give?" Xie Ji'an's eyes lit up, then he looked puzzled.
Song Yanzhuo looked at him like he was an idiot: "Does that even need asking? Just give your junior sister whatever she likes."
Xie Ji'an's lips curled up: "Spirit Crystals!"
"Then let's settle this?" Song Yanzhuo looked pleased and was about to pat the enlightened senior brother when he missed. He raised an eyebrow and saw that Xie Ji'an had already gone far away.
At the same time, Qiyue lost all interest in testing the medicine and returned to Misty Peak, which was shrouded in green mist. She focused solely on refining pills and refused to see anyone who came to her door.
She felt that she was in a bad mood and might take it out on others.
Xie Ji'an found a free moment, and the next day, a green rain fell on the entire Wan Shi Sheng Zong sect. The rain entered the skin through the pores, and everyone had diarrhea until their legs went weak.
In no time, news of the strange things that the Eighth Chief Alchemist had attracted spread throughout the entire Myriad Worlds Holy Sect, and from then on, everyone kept an umbrella in their personal space.
But after some time, they suddenly discovered that the umbrella had been used because, not only was it immune to the rain magic this time, but more importantly, it was also corrosive, although it could only corrode some external items such as clothes and shoes.
But it's equally terrifying.
In an instant, all the people of the Eternal Holy Sect, dressed in tattered rags and barely able to cover themselves, hid inside their houses, afraid to go out. The next day, they began preparing clothes and umbrellas to resist corrosion, but...
I miscalculated again; this time, just smelling the rain is enough to cause hallucinations.
In an instant, everyone was devastated.
They hid, trembling.
The entire Eternal Holy Sect was filled with wails: "It's terrible! The eighth chief disciple is refining pills again!"
Later, they discovered a problem: only pills that had undergone the Pill Tribulation could have this effect.
But……
How come the pills refined by the eighth chief always attract pill tribulations?
I'm numb! Completely numb!
From then on, whenever a pill tribulation was seen falling on Misty Peak, everyone would stay indoors.
And just like that, a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Qiyue didn't leave the sect for a whole year, and the disciples of the Myriad Worlds Holy Sect suffered for a year. Xie Ji'an also waited for a year before finally seeing Qiyue come out.
But when Qiyue saw Xie Ji'an for the first time, she gave him a distant bow, and then turned around and left Misty Peak, as if she was about to go down the mountain.
A year is but a blink of an eye for a cultivator, but for Xie Ji'an it felt like hundreds of years.
He chased after her, but Qiyue had already disappeared.
He found Song Yanzhuo dejectedly, his face pale.
"Second Junior Brother, Junior Sister... she's gone."
He seemed to have considered the last two words for a long time before uttering them with difficulty.
The moment I said it, I felt an unbearable tightness in my chest.
Song Yanzhuo remained silent.
Back in the lower realm, his junior sister risked her life to save them, putting herself in the game and scheming for a long time to bring them to where they are today. He should have known long ago how important they were in his junior sister's heart.
Yet this important person actually dislikes her.
This is something that would be unbearable for anyone, right?
"Senior Brother...you..." Song Yanzhuo wanted to say something, but after stammering for a long time, he still couldn't utter a single word.
Xie Ji'an was dejected: "What should we do?"
"Why don't we leave the sect and go find our junior sister?"
This was the only method Song Yanzhu could think of.
At this moment, Qiyue changed direction, concealed her aura, and found Yuanzhi, her eyes smiling: "Good disciple, how about your master takes you out of the sect for training?"
Yuan Zhi looked at Qi Yue, his eyes lighting up: "Great!"
Yuan Zhi was overjoyed to see Qi Yue after so long: "Master, you've been in seclusion refining pills for so long, your disciple has missed you so much!"
"Miss me?" Qi Yue was slightly taken aback when she saw the bright joy on Yuan Zhi's face. She had thought about it for a long time during the time she was refining pills.
[From the lower realms onward, it seems I was the one forcing Master, my senior brothers and sisters to confront everything. Apart from my senior sister, my second senior brother and the others, while not saying it outwardly, didn't show the same obvious dislike as my eldest senior brother.]
But ultimately, they are living, breathing human beings in this world. I suppose they wouldn't want to be forced like this by me?
I went too far; I forgot that many things can't be achieved by wishful thinking.
Having figured everything out, Qiyue was no longer attached to anything. Her resolve, which had remained unchanged for a year, was now clearly loosening, and it was gaining momentum as the heavenly tribulation descended.
A smile appeared on Qiyue's face.
A hint of sadness flashed across Yuan Zhi's face.
No wonder Master has been staying at home all year, doing nothing but refining pills. His cultivation level has also been affected. With Master's talent, he should have broken through to the Void Refining Realm long ago, but he hasn't yet.
It turns out he was troubled by love.
Although he didn't know the details of the matter, he understood his master's character; he was the kind of person who would do anything for the important people around him.
Could such a good master be let down?
He casually recalled the scene when his seven uncles in the clan used their master's power to suppress his father and the others. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed his third uncle who was the most protective of their master.
He clenched his fist, looking at his master amidst the heavenly tribulation, his eyes deep and unwavering. No matter what, he would always stand by his master's side.
The tribulation in July is always the most shocking, causing the entire spirit realm to tremble instantly. Lou Xuanzhi and the elders seemed to sense it and opened their eyes.
After the tribulation, Qiyue instantly advanced to the early stage of the Integration Realm.
Yuan Zhi exclaimed in admiration: "Disciple knows that Master's talent has always been exceptional."
His eyes were gentle, and his cultivation level had broken through again. Qiyue had also grown much taller, and her childishness and innocence had faded, replaced by indifference and mystery.
She wore a light green dress, and her long hair was lightly tied up with a jade hairpin that could also be used as a hair accessory, with a little hanging down over her thin back.
Sensing the familiar presence, her gaze sharpened slightly. She took Yuan Zhi's wrist, and in a flash, she disappeared.
Even their aura vanished instantly.
When Xie Ji'an and Song Yanzhuo arrived, they couldn't help but frown, a hint of doubt flashing in their dark eyes.
"Just now, I clearly sensed my junior sister's presence here."
"Senior Brother! Second Senior Brother! Are you also here to see Junior Sister?" Several voices rang out from behind, and Xie Ji'an and Song Yanzhuo turned around.
It was Le Luoxi and her group, along with Lou Xuanzhi, who had an indifferent expression, Ming Ye, and several elders.
Xie Ji'an nodded, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
He dared not let anyone else know that he had angered Qiyue, except for Song Yanzhuo.
