She became a middleman, not occupying either side, neither helping nor harming, and in the future, when facing Bai Yunshu, she would probably just be like a stranger.
It’s no use anymore. We just smiled at each other and went our separate ways.
Yue Daiyuan stood in the distance holding the sword, watching the scene, sighed, and then spoke.
"This is really an unsolvable situation. On one side is the elder sister who grew up with me, and on the other side is the disciple who has suffered for me for five hundred years. She really lives up to the name she came here for, hiding joys and troubles..."
It seems like I am worthy of everyone, but also like I am not worthy of anyone.
Yue Daiyuan is a straightforward person, so she naturally says what she thinks without beating around the bush.
Everyone has different personalities and ideas. The former sect leader also died as a sacrifice to suppress the demons of Cangsheng. It seemed like killing one person could save the people. She continued the Cangsheng Dao, so she loved Bai Yunshu and compensated him.
If she were Bai Yunshu or Qi Ningzhu, she would also hate it and feel that her fate was determined and she was forced to do things she didn't want to do.
But she is one of the common people in the world... enjoying their kindness. If there is no righteousness and no previous sect to do, then after the death of the Demon Lord, all cultivators will be in danger. Where will the people and all industries in the world go?
What was she thinking when the former shogun jumped into the devil's abyss? What was she thinking when she learned her fate?
If you have someone you want to protect, are you so decisive?
Her words were spoken softly, but still reached the ears of several elders.
Hearing her say that, Bai Yunshu smiled bitterly, his mind in a state of confusion.
The little disciple was still recuperating in the Half Moon Courtyard, but here, Xuan Yingzong asked her to leave, and her senior sister also reconciled with her. She could leave with a legitimate reason, but why did she feel so sad?
Is there a perfect solution in the world? It seems that everything is caused by oneself.
If I had jumped down five hundred years ago, there wouldn't be so many things happening, and I wouldn't be obsessed with it and linger here.
Seeing Bai Yunshu standing there unwilling to move, Geng Jihuan's voice became slightly hoarse.
"From now on, Xuanying Sect will have nothing to do with you. There will no longer be an elder named Yingsu in the sect. You can stay or go wherever you like."
Geng Jihuan turned around slowly, suppressed his softness and tears, and forced himself not to look back.
Junior sister...what should I do? I can't hate anyone. You are all my closest people. I can't hurt anyone.
You said a long time ago that you wanted to resign from the position of Elder Xuanying, that you wanted freedom and did not want to be bound by the sect.
Yunshu...Senior Sister will help you this last time.
I will protect Xuanying Sect. As for Moyuan, although Xuanying Cangshengdao has been cut off, other sects will also fight together. I hope you can take your little disciple and travel far away.
The corpse of the eldest senior sister is still lying in the sect. We have to find a spring when all the flowers are in bloom to send her soul away and embark on the path of reincarnation.
In three months, can we find a way to find our souls?
Senior sister... please forgive me for being selfish. I don't want to let you go just now. Please give me three months to think about it.
Geng Jihuan felt that he was extremely miserable now, with his secret love gone, his sect in ruins, his sister who had left him, and himself broken.
Hearing what Geng Jihuan said, Bai Yunshu suddenly laughed.
Even as she was laughing, a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
The two had been together for so many years, and Geng Jihuan came to her with a sword just to show off to others.
What he really wanted was to have a reason to let her leave. Otherwise, desertion and harboring would be a crime. According to the sect rules, it would be fifty thunder tribulations and half of one's cultivation would be wasted.
She was responsible for the sect and was driven away in anger. No one objected. The other elders could see it, but chose to remain silent.
Most people have benefited from Bai Yunshu to some extent.
How could she not understand her second sister? She had a hard mouth but a soft heart, and seemed to be unserious, but she always did things in a safe way.
Her second sister was a very good person. Whenever she got into trouble and was punished when she was a child, she would take more responsibility because of her age.
After Master left, I couldn't get rid of the haze. She often came to see me, gave me lotus flowers, and made me happy.
Bai Yunshu held the letter tightly in his hand and said silently, "Thank you, Senior Sister..."
Geng Jihuan was walking towards the inside step by step, with a firm figure. Her red and orange dress was as gorgeous as the sunset, and like the rising sun, illuminating Xuanying in the mist.
She didn't turn around. Bai Yunshu looked at the letter in his hand and suddenly spoke.
"Senior sister!"
Geng Jihuan paused and said nothing.
"In the future, please take the trouble to apologize to Master and Senior Sister on my behalf. I have failed Master's expectations and the sect."
As she spoke, she tore up the two pieces of letter paper in her hands.
She didn't want to study the contents and threw it into the air.
The letter was blown away by the wind, and no one knew where it landed, along with all the grudges and hatreds of the past years.
The senior sister had already prepared the resignation order for her, but she had never given it to her. Now that it was in her hands, there was nothing left.
The disciple is right, the senior sister is right, the fault is all mine... I am greedy and afraid of death, I am unwilling to take responsibility, and I am the one who harmed Xuanying.
In order to repay the sect for nurturing her luck, she found a way to return the luck five hundred years ago, and even sacrificed several levels of her own cultivation to protect Xuanying's foundation for ten thousand years.
Later, because she was obsessed with Zang's cultivation, she spent two hundred years searching for the broken soul in her heart. Now, the one she loves the most is the disciple who suffered for her for five hundred years.
"Second Senior Sister, I want to be a little selfish. I want to live only for myself. I know I have responsibilities, and I want to protect everything. But why, it seems that everything is messed up. I will make up for it..."
"By the way, now that we have brought all the herbs, please leave them here. If you don't want them or don't like them, just throw them away. I just want to atone for my disciple's mistaken injury. If there is anything that has not been done, you can come to me..."
After she finished speaking, she slowly knelt down.
"I, the unfilial disciple Bai Yunshu, would like to thank the sect for raising me, and thank you, Senior Sister, for your companionship and teaching over the years. I apologize again."
There was an unclear emotion in her voice, and the other elders and disciples tacitly made way and did not stand in front of her.
After all, Bai Yunshu was kneeling for the sect, not standing in front of her, and he might even lose his life.
After hearing the sound, Geng Jihuan's hands trembled a little, and he left quickly.
Seeing Geng Jihuan leave, the other elders turned around and left, and the disciples followed suit. Only a few of them stayed behind to move the herbs back.
Bai Yunshu looked at their figures and stood there for a long time until he could no longer see Geng Jihuan.
She then turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
"Elder Yingsu, could you please stay for a while?"
Yan Weiwan found a time and called her to ask about the situation of her good sister.
