"I know, and I will always be your sister." Lin Yun smiled.
She had many questions she wanted to ask her brother, but then she thought that Shen Feng must have some unspeakable difficulties if he never talked about them, so she held back and said softly, "Take good care of yourself. If you can't make it out there, come home."
Twilight lay sprawling in the west, where clouds of various colors—gray, purple, red, gold—stacked together without appearing jarring at all.
As Shen Feng watched the receding figure, he noticed that she was much taller than he remembered. He gestured with his hand, trying to match the figure in his memory, "You too, don't compromise."
The unspoken understanding between the two remained unchanged; neither of them asked questions that would be difficult for the other to answer, such as the scars on Lin Yun's exposed skin, or whether Shen Feng was following her out of concern or to infiltrate her.
Once some holes are torn, they are difficult to repair.
However, they both made plans for their next meeting.
Lin Yun raised his sword jokingly, shook it gently, and said, "Brother, don't do evil."
She still didn't turn around.
"I know."
As Shen Feng watched her ride away on her sword, the lingering rays of the setting sun shone on her dark hair. She was wearing coarse, old clothes, not the disciple's robes that he had become intimately familiar with during his secret observations.
Until her figure completely disappeared on the horizon, Chen Feng stopped gazing into the distance. He took out a communication talisman from his sleeve and said, "Jingyin Sect..."
The evening breeze blew through his hair and also carried away his words.
The moment he turned around, Lin Yun looked back, thinking to herself: Brother, can I still trust you like before?
Her hair was blowing wildly in the wind, and Lin Yunwang, who was on the mountain path, tucked the strands of hair that were stuck to her lips behind her ear.
"The wind is stronger up in the mountains," she murmured.
The Jingyin Sect has strict rules; flying on a sword must be done according to the time and place. She was exhausted after a long day of travel, but not wanting to bring bad luck, she sheathed her sword early and landed at the foot of the mountain, preparing to walk up.
She stepped onto the stone steps leading to the Jingyin Sect once again. Although only half a month had passed since her first visit, her state of mind was quite different, as she now possessed considerable power.
In the world of cultivation, strength is like chips on a card table; the more chips you have, the more confident you are.
Now, she no longer needs to gamble on a possibility when she acts, and she feels certain that she can do it, which brings her peace of mind. Lin Yun has always liked things that are clear and that she can hold firmly in her hands; the initiative concerning herself and those around her has been put in her own hands.
As the lights of the mountain gate drew closer, Lin Yun unfastened her sword and held it in her hand. The sword reflected her features, which remained unchanged, but most precious of all was the serenity in her eyes. She thought to herself: How can everything in this world be as one wishes? Face it with equanimity.
Her long-cherished wish has become the sword in her hand and the principle in her heart, which will not be biased.
As for the countless human hearts at large, it all boils down to "having a clear conscience."
A faint electric current rang out amidst the noise, and the system appeared just as she had expected.
"System, are you really not some secret treasure of the Jingyin Sect that just happened to possess my body by chance?" Why did you become so active as soon as you arrived at the Jingyin Sect?
"No, besides, I've appeared in places other than the Jingyin Sect."
“But you’ve appeared at the Jingyin Sect far too often.”
"It's just that the magnetic field here is suitable for me to replenish my energy, don't overthink it. I still remember when you first crossed over, you even asked yourself if you were some kind of chosen one, but in reality, you were just an incredibly unlucky person."
"System, your words are really sharp today."
Amidst laughter and playfulness, we arrived at the mountain gate.
Upon raising my eyes and seeing the figure at the mountain gate, my mind was thrown into turmoil.
