Looking at Qiyue's face with a faint smile, he opened his mouth, wanting to say no, but he couldn't say it. The truth was that he had brought her back because he could hear her thoughts.
I want to change everything.
Lou Xuanzhi's silence said it all. Qi Yue looked up at him and asked, "Is it so hard to tell the truth?"
Shangguan Fu was stunned. After learning that they could hear their junior sister's thoughts, they all knew that this was why their master had been willing to bring back a disciple with a useless spiritual root.
Perhaps the affection shown over the years was genuine, but it must be admitted that it all started with exploitation.
"Little one, if I told you that everything I did after rescuing you was only because you are my disciple, would you believe me?"
"..." Qiyue didn't speak, she just looked at him, her deep eyes revealing no emotion.
When Xie Ji'an arrived, this was the scene he saw: his master and junior sister were standing face to face, and the atmosphere between them was not good.
Upon seeing Qiyue for the first time, he immediately went over to explain something, but Shangguan Fu grabbed him, and with that pull, Qiyue's gaze went straight to him.
"Does Fourth Senior Brother think I would make things difficult for Eldest Senior Brother?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Fu immediately released Xie Ji'an's hand and hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant, Junior Sister."
"Shh." Qiyue put her index finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture: "I don't want to hear it."
Xie Ji'an was unaware of what had happened when he met Qi Yue's dark, brooding eyes.
"I really don't understand. My eldest brother can clearly hear my thoughts and knows that I'm sad, so why does he stay inside and not come out, instead going to find my second brother?"
"Could you tell me what the eldest brother thought when he saw me at the second senior brother's place?"
The seemingly calm voice surged towards Xie Ji'an like a raging storm. He stared blankly at Qi Yue: "Junior Sister, you... you know everything?"
Qiyue didn't speak, but her indifferent gaze said it all.
Xie Ji'an's mouth tasted bitter, but he still explained, "I panicked when I heard your feelings that day, Junior Sister. I was afraid you would be sad, but I didn't know what to do, so I thought of going to Second Junior Brother to ask him for advice."
"Have you ever thought about what would have happened if you had caught up with me that day?" Qiyue asked him in return.
He froze, then suddenly came to his senses.
His face was full of regret.
He was about to say something when Qiyue interrupted him.
"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it. Let's wait until the others arrive."
They were already in the wrong, so they didn't dare to say anything more until the others arrived one after another.
As soon as Qiyue spoke, Zhuo Ziyu knelt down with a thud: "Junior Sister, your senior brother is as clear as day and night about you! There is absolutely no deception! There is one thing that Fourth Senior Brother is right about: you are the most important in our hearts, not because you can change our fate, but because you are Junior Sister!"
He held up three fingers and swore an oath to the heavens.
His actions immediately enlightened Yun Huai, who knelt down with a thud: "That's right! Junior Sister!"
Looking at their sincere eyes, Qiyue was both angry and speechless.
Le Luoxi rushed over and immediately checked on Qiyue to see if she was alright. She looked worried and said, "Junior Sister has lost weight..."
July felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she didn't utter the words of accusation.
She simply said, "I know everything, senior sister. You can all hear my thoughts."
Le Luoxi was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief with a calm expression, hugged Qiyue, and hot tears fell without warning.
"Do you know how heartbroken I was when I found out you were leaving? I felt like the sky had fallen. Junior sister, you saved me. I know what you were thinking. The words that were hard to say that day, I want to tell you now."
"I know how unfortunate you were before, but I will not betray you, nor will anyone else. Even if I have to search the heavens and the underworld, I will not let those people go."
"So, please don't just leave quietly like this in the future, okay?"
Finally, she added, "At least, while I, your senior sister, am still alive."
Her long words comforted Qiyue's heart. Qiyue hugged Le Luoxi and tears fell down her face.
"Senior sister, I'm so scared, I'm really scared. I never thought that my wishful thinking and sacrifices for you would result in you hating me."
"I still held onto a sliver of hope, but when I saw my eldest brother at my second senior brother's place, I could no longer deceive myself."
Faced with her senior sister who deliberately suppressed her cultivation level to protect her and waited for her ascension tribulation before she could ascend with peace of mind, Qi Yue revealed all her weaknesses and worries.
She knew that her senior sister had always been kind and good to her.
Song Yanzhuo and Gu Xingchuan, who arrived later, looked on in confusion. Finally, Zhuo Ziyu pointed it out to them, and they realized that their junior sister already knew they could hear her thoughts.
The two were incredibly embarrassed.
I stood there, at a loss.
It wasn't until Le Luoxi comforted Qiyue that she looked at them.
"Junior Sister, we didn't dare let you know because we were afraid you would be scared and leave. Please forgive us."
Gu Xingchuan spoke with heartfelt sincerity.
Looking at these people she had spent every day with, who truly cared about her, Qiyue forgave them.
"Senior Brother, I'll forgive you this time, but there won't be a next time."
“Master, although you did bring me back in the first place because of this, I forgive you for helping me regain my spiritual root despite the pressure from the Heavenly Dao.”
"Also, if I may ask one more question, do you like Senior Brother?"
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, her usually aloof face now showing a gossipy air that didn't suit her demeanor. As she spoke, her gaze darted back and forth between her master and senior brother.
Xie Ji'an avoided Qi Yue's gaze, not daring to listen to what his master would say next.
Lou Xuanzhi looked at her with an even stranger expression, so angry that he was speechless. After a long while, he finally managed to choke out, "What do you mean by liking or disliking? That's nonsense."
A glint of light flashed in Xie Ji'an's eyes. He pursed his lips and turned back, only to meet his junior sister's probing gaze.
He quickly turned his face away again and pulled Shangguan Fu over: "Fourth Junior Brother, didn't you secretly tell me what kind of divine artifact Junior Sister was looking for?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Fu became serious: "That's right, that's how it is."
This sentence drew everyone's attention, and Zhuo Ziyu and Yun Huai, who were kneeling on the ground, immediately stood up.
"Senior Brother is right. The most urgent task now is to help Junior Sister find the divine artifact."
One day in the spirit world is equivalent to three years in the mortal world.
It was a month later when Qiyue successfully found the four artifacts.
Having successfully found the divine artifact, Qiyue no longer made things difficult for Li Niang. She gave her many pills for cultivation, detoxification, longevity, and strengthening the body, as well as some talismans and a spirit sword that she had previously collected in the lower realm.
10,000 spirit crystals.
Liniang knelt down with a thud and bowed deeply to Qiyue, her head kowtowed sincerely: "Senior's great kindness, Liniang will never forget it."
