Xu Xianxian had been thinking about this question for a long time. Questions about her past life, her present life, herself, her family, and all kinds of people and things kept flashing through her mind.
Maybe it was because I had been too tense, so now that I relaxed, I actually fell asleep on the sofa.
When Xu Xianxian regained some consciousness, she felt an itchy and warm touch on her cheek, as well as the familiar body fragrance, which immediately woke her up from her sleep.
"Hmm..."
The little girl let out a soft moan, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and slowly opened them.
What caught her eye was Bai Zhen'er, sitting upright on the sofa, flipping through a magazine intently. Her delicate and elegant appearance was as cool and graceful as a flower from a high mountain.
"Sister..." Xu Xianxian glanced at her and frowned slightly: "You are holding the book upside down."
Since becoming a martial artist, she has gained a new understanding of Bai Zhen'er, and she feels increasingly unfamiliar with her. This feeling is completely different from her previous life's contact with her.
However, in her previous life, Xu Xianxian had a very ordinary relationship with her sister. And to be honest, the experience of being implicated in the murder in her previous life has become an indelible shadow.
Bai Zhen'er pursed her lips. At this moment, she could no longer maintain her cold expression. She raised her head awkwardly, laughed dryly, and put down the magazine in her hand: "Sister...you're awake."
Xu Xianxian glanced at the girl and nodded slightly. "Yeah, I was a little tired just now, so I took a rest. Aren't your parents home yet?"
It's the weekend and there are no classes at school, so she stays at home, but her parents are out for something today.
"No." Bai Zhen'er shook her head, then continued, "Dad called me and said he had something to do tonight and wouldn't be home until very late. He said he would ask Mom to come back first to cook for us."
"My parents have worked so hard..." Xu Xianxian said calmly, "Don't you agree?"
"It's a bit hard." Bai Zhen'er nodded. She noticed that her sister's mood was a little off and looked at the little girl cautiously: "Sister...?"
As a user of the Force, even if I can't see through people's hearts, it's very easy for me to sense emotional fluctuations.
"How long can you stay in Hongjing City?"
Xu Xianxian hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Forehead..."
These words were incoherent, but Bai Zhen'er suddenly fell silent.
After about ten seconds, she asked with a strange expression: "Sister, do you know?"
"I know you're a true disciple of the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School and will soon be heading to Central Region Province for further training. The entire martial arts community of Southern Wu Province should have heard about this." Xu Xianxian's eyes were like clear rubies, staring straight at her sister in front of her. "You haven't told your parents about this news yet?"
"Yes... I haven't had time to say..."
Although her sister's baby voice was very sweet and coquettish, her tone at this time was too calm, which made Bai Zhen'er look away feeling a little guilty.
It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but it's too difficult to say it.
"Bai Zhen'er..." Xu Xianxian addressed Bai Zhen'er by name instead of calling her 'sister'. She said in a deep voice, "I don't know what position my parents and I hold in your eyes, but your matter is very important to the entire family. There's no need for you to be so secretive."
"Mom and Dad are adults, and they're very obedient to us. If you have any problems, just tell them and they won't stop you at all."
"I know, and I understand, you are a powerful, noble force user, with a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people. Perhaps we, your loved ones who may not live to be a hundred years old, are just a passing moment in your life. But please cherish these memories. After all..."
Bai Zhen'er was smiling at first, but after hearing Xu Xianxian's next words, her expression immediately turned pale, her slender jade hands turned white, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
After hearing the latter part, she could no longer bear it and interrupted the conversation rudely, "Sister! That's enough!"
Xu Xianxian paused, raised her head, and glanced towards the corner of the living room, then turned back, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
The conflict between her and her sister had been building up from past lives and would eventually erupt. If Bai Zhen'er hadn't saved her last time, she would have probably exposed herself long ago.
But now that I know that my sister has been hiding such a big thing from the family, I can no longer suppress the emotions that I have been holding back.
Whether Bai Zhen'er's actions were intentional or unintentional, Xu Xianxian must ask clearly, otherwise she will not be able to face her own heart.
"No! None of it is right!" Bai Zhen'er stood up and yelled at Xu Xianxian. Then, tears streamed down her cheeks. "I've never thought of it that way, nor do I think I'm superior to others. We two sisters, although not born together, have lived together for ten years. How can you say that to me?!"
Even if her parents said something similar, she could bear it, but when her sister said it, she immediately felt heartbroken and on the verge of emotional collapse. The girl's emotions fluctuated so much that even the Force in her body vibrated, and a thick layer of white frost began to spread in the corner of the living room.
The temperature in the air dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant.
Xu Xianxian glanced at the frost spreading beneath the other person's feet, her scarlet pupils unblinking as she continued, "Then why did you keep us in the dark about everything?"
Xu Xianxian had wanted to ask this question for a long time. Since Bai Zhen'er was so powerful, why didn't she show any of it in her previous life? She concealed everything and didn't even provide certain safety measures for her family. Until the moment she was killed, the doubts in her heart did not dissipate.
"I have my own difficulties." Bai Zhen'er opened her mouth, and seeing her sister's calm words, she bit her lower lip hard. "There are many things that I can only bear alone. But sister... I really have no ill will towards you and my parents."
"Have you ever thought about this...? What you're carrying could kill me and my parents."
Xu Xianxian shook her head and looked at the sad girl in front of her, her eyes also filled with sadness.
This sentence was not her speculation, but a real thing that happened six years in the future of her death. Perhaps in this life, with the flapping of the butterfly effect, this future may come earlier.
"How is that possible?!" Bai Zhen'er bit her lips until they were almost bleeding, but at this time, she continued to explain: "I signed an agreement with the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall. As long as I go to the Central Region Province, they will send someone to protect your parents and you."
