Chapter 217: Words Are Like Knives
She became a middleman, not taking either side, neither helping nor harming, and in the future, when facing Bai Yunshu, she would probably just treat him like a stranger.
At worst, we can just smile at each other and go our separate ways.
Yue Daiyuan stood in the distance holding a sword, watching the scene, sighed, and then spoke.
"This is truly an unsolvable situation. On one side is the senior sister I grew up with, and on the other is the disciple who has suffered for me for five hundred years. She truly lives up to the name that brought her here: hidden joy, hidden danger..."
It seems like I am sorry to everyone, but it also seems like I am sorry to everyone.
Yue Daiyuan is a straightforward person, so she 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 demons for the people of the world, just like killing one person to save the people. She continued the way of the people, so she loved Bai Yunshu and compensated Bai Yunshu.
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 actions of the previous sect master, then after the birth of the Demon Lord, all cultivators in the world will be in danger. Where will the people and all their lives go?
What was she thinking when the former sect leader jumped into the abyss? What was she thinking when she learned her fate?
Are you so decisive because you have someone you want to protect?
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 daze.
The little disciple is still recuperating in the Half Moon Courtyard, but here, Xuan Yingzong asked her to leave, and her senior sister has also turned against her. She can leave with a legitimate reason, but why does she feel so uncomfortable?
Is there a way to have the best of both worlds? It seems that everything is caused by oneself.
If I had jumped down five hundred years ago, so many things wouldn't have happened, and I wouldn't have been so obsessed and lingered here.
Seeing Bai Yunshu standing there unwilling to move, Geng Jihuan's voice became slightly hoarse.
"From now on, the Xuanying Sect has nothing to do with you. There will no longer be an Elder Yingsu in the sect. You can go wherever you want."
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, and 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 Demon Abyss, although Xuanying Common People's Path has been cut off, other sects will also fight together. I hope you can take your little disciple and go far away.
The body of the eldest sister is still lying in the sect. We have to find a spring when the flowers are in full bloom to send her soul away and embark on the path of reincarnation.
Can we find a way to find the soul in three months?
Senior Sister... forgive my selfishness. I don't want to let you go just like that. Please give me three months to think about it.
Geng Jihuan felt extremely miserable right now. His secret love had died, his sect was in ruins, his junior sister had left, and he was broken.
Hearing what Geng Jihuan said, Bai Yunshu suddenly laughed.
But as she laughed, a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
The two of them 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, the crime of desertion and harboring a criminal would be punishable by fifty thunder tribulations and the loss of half of one's cultivation according to the sect rules.
She was acting as the sect leader, and no one objected to her being driven away in anger. The other elders could see it, but chose to remain silent.
Most people have benefited from Baiyunshu to some extent.
How could she not understand her Second Senior Sister? She was a representative of those who were tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She seemed unruly, but she always did things in a safe and steady manner.
Her second elder sister was a very good person. She was so good that when she got into trouble and was punished as a child, she would take more responsibility because of her age.
After the master left, he was unable to get out of the haze. She often came to see him, gave him lotus seeds, and made him happy.
Bai Yunshu held the letter tightly in his hand and silently said, "Thank you, Senior Sister..."
Geng Jihuan was walking towards the inside step by step, with a resolute figure. She was wearing a red and orange dress that was as gorgeous as the sunset, and like the rising sun, illuminating Xuanying in the fog.
She didn't look back. 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 failed the sect."
As she spoke, she tore up the two pieces of letter paper in her hands.
She didn't want to delve into what was inside, so she raised her hand and threw it into the air.
The letter drifted away with the wind, and no one knew where it landed, along with all the grudges and hatreds of the past years.
The eldest sister had prepared the resignation order for her a long time ago, but she never gave it to her. Now that it is in her hands, it is of no use.
My disciple did nothing wrong, and my senior sister did nothing wrong. The fault is all mine... I was afraid of death, I was unwilling to take responsibility, and I was the one who harmed Xuanying.
In order to repay the sect for its kindness in nurturing her, she had 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 of her obsession with hiding her cultivation, she searched for the remnant soul in her heart for two hundred years. Now, the person she owes 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 like everything is messed up. I will make up for it..."
"Oh right, now that we have these herbs, leave them here. If you don't want them or dislike them, just throw them all away. I just want to atone for my disciple to the disciples who were accidentally injured. If there's anything else you haven't done, you can find me..."
After she finished speaking, she slowly knelt down.
"I, Bai Yunshu, your unfilial disciple, would like to thank the sect for raising me. I would also like to thank Senior Sister for her companionship and guidance over the years. I apologize once again."
There was an unknown 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 in front of the sect. If he stood in front of her, he might even shorten his lifespan.
When Geng Jihuan heard the sound, his hands trembled a little, and then he quickly left.
Seeing Geng Jihuan leave, the other elders also turned and left, and the disciples followed suit. Only a few of them stayed behind, intending to move the medicinal herbs nearby back.
Bai Yunshu looked at their figures and stood there for a long time until Geng Jihuan could no longer be seen.
She then turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a call from behind.
"Elder Ying Su, could you please stay for a moment?"
Yan Weiwan found a time and called her to ask about her good sister's situation.
