She is very afraid that others will know her weaknesses and use them to control her.
In her previous life, in order to avoid this situation, she was very generous and took leave from all evening self-study classes.
No matter how big a deal it is, Qu Yan has to go home on time after school in the afternoon.
Qu Shang also indulged her willfulness and sent people to talk to the teacher and even the principal.
Although there were few places without lights in big cities, Qu Yan was unwilling to take the risk. Neither was Qu Shang.
But the world of cultivating immortals is different. It’s not an urban world, it’s an ancient world of cultivating immortals, and there are no street lights!
She could easily become a bright bulb and a ready-made target, so Qu Yan herself didn't even have the courage to step out of Jitian Sect.
I was afraid that if I didn't find a place to stay when it got dark, I would be stranded in the wild and at the mercy of others.
For this reason, she even thought about overcoming this problem.
But it was just a thought, she didn't even have the courage to face it.
It wasn't until the night pearl from Patriarch Taixu that all of Qu Yan's concerns were immediately resolved.
"Great! I'll use it to make a pair of earrings, a necklace full of gemstones, and get a brow stud, a nose stud, and a lip stud..."
Before Qu Yan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Taixu with a confused look on his face.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by piercing your eyebrows, nose, and lips? You want to be tortured? Have you committed some heinous crime that you have to torture yourself like this?"
As Taixu spoke, his eyes were filled with sadness, as if he was expressing his true feelings.
Qu Yan stuttered a little when she saw this...
"Ah, no, no, Master, Father, please listen to my explanation. This is just a decorative method, just like wearing earrings."
Explaining dryly, Qu Yan began to regret why she said such advanced words in front of the old man.
I thought Taixu would educate me, but I didn't expect that.
"Ah... Oh, I see. Fine, as long as you're happy. But... you should still think about it. Master thinks... forget it."
He shook his head, sighed and left.
Qu Yan smiled when she saw this, and after hesitating for a while, she put the Night-Shining Stone away.
I'm afraid it would be a shame to lose this good thing.
"arrive."
Just as I put it away, I heard Taixu in front of me say something.
Qu Yan looked up and instantly felt the temperature around her dropping rapidly as Taixu opened the barrier.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be frozen to hypothermia in an instant.
But Qu Yan is no longer an ordinary person now.
Her special physique and special spiritual roots make her feel at home only in such an environment.
He stepped into the formation and looked up.
It’s like entering a world of ice sculptures.
The cave, which is several hundred meters high and as wide as a football field, is completely covered with thick ice.
Wisps of white mist drifted by, as if entering an ice wonderland.
This breathtaking scenery is not the main thing. The most important thing is that Qu Yan can feel that all this ice contains enormous spiritual power.
The purity is comparable to that of spirit stones, and Qu Yan can also feel that the spiritual power contained in the ice can be absorbed by herself.
I sighed comfortably, enjoying the environment that suited me for a second, then I suddenly woke up and wanted to turn around and run.
Taixu quickly pulled Qu Yan back.
"Why are you running?"
"Oh! Master, you forgot! My current broken body is not suitable for cultivation, otherwise I won't live for many more years."
Qu Yan looked at her with a blaming look, as if to say, "Why are you so forgetful?"
Taixu found it a little funny to be looked at like this. He put Qu Yan down and touched her head tentatively.
Seeing that she didn't object, he pushed harder.
"Are you the master or am I the master? I have lived for countless years and I know more than you.
Besides, I don’t believe you can really do nothing as your brother instructs you to do.
Moreover, your physique is special. You can absorb spiritual energy and practice on your own. Unless someone intervenes, it will be in vain.
So, since you're going to practice anyway, why not let me watch over you, control and suppress the rate at which your body deteriorates, and let you fight on your own."
Taixu's half-smile and half-smile eyes and the words he said seemed to have grasped all of Qu Yan's thoughts.
Qu Yan's body stiffened. She smiled awkwardly, her mind racing.
As expected of an ancestor who is thousands of years old, he is very good at judging people and even saw that her mentality has changed a little.
Three years ago, Qu Yan went into seclusion because of a change in her mentality.
Three years ago, before Qu Shang insisted on leaving the sect, Qu Yan always kept herself out of the matter.
With a playful and nonchalant attitude.
I really treated this place as a world in a novel, and didn't even regard the person standing in front of me as a human being.
Most of the time, it is treated as a fully automatic "NPC".
So she didn't understand when Qu Shang worked hard for these "NPCs", and she also didn't understand when Qu Shang disregarded his own safety for these "NPCs".
Because she is the one who knows best that the stories here are all stories in the book.
Even if Qu Shang had listened to her narration, he would not have had the same God's perspective as Qu Yan.
So he might be more easily immersed in it.
It was at that time that Qu Yan realized that she could not change Qu Shang's mentality. She could not let him treat people here as he did not.
But she was cruel to others but had no way to ignore Qu Shang. In desperation, she, who always only considered herself and her brother, began to incorporate everything about Jitian Sect into her own future.
Although the motivation for hard work is still because of Qu Shang, the things to do after successful efforts have already included Ji Tianzong.
The change in her thinking made it impossible for Qu Yan to continue to let herself go.
Unfortunately, he came out of seclusion and was told that if he continued to practice, he could only live for 25 years.
To be honest, I was a little confused and a little self-destructive.
But while I accepted it deep down in my heart, I also started to calculate the gains and losses.
She listened to Qu Shang and spent the past 25 years waiting for Qu Shang to desperately try to find a way to survive. The probability of failure was very high.
Because... in a world where one cannot ascend to heaven, who can know anything related to immortality?
Or... ignore him, continue practicing, and strive to break through to the Golden Core Stage before dying, so as to get the elixir that can save Third Senior Sister.
Although it cannot solve the problem of her cultivation, it can at least allow her to live for hundreds or thousands of years. If nothing unexpected happens, she can survive and die together with her senior brother who is injured by alcohol.
This was Qu Yan's promise to them. If it wasn't really impossible, she really didn't want to break her promise.
Because that proves that she was bragging and boasting.
Even if he was drunk, he wouldn't know that Qu Yan persuaded him because she knew their tragic ending.
