Chapter 311: Unbearable Guilt
Jiang Liqian pursed her lips, not sure if he was praising her.
Seeing that she didn't even frown, Song Ziming finished the medicine. Thinking that he had been disturbing her here for quite some time, he asked Jiang Liqian to rest first and not meditate for the time being to prevent her meridians from rupturing again. He himself went to deliver the medicine to Jianfeng's junior sister next door.
Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment and asked: "Shen Qingqing? She is here too?"
Song Ziming nodded.
"The monster tore a crack in the seal, letting half of its soul escape and nearly destroying the formation outside the forbidden area. Luckily, Elder Tingfeng arrived in time and restored the seal. He rescued you and Junior Sister Shen and brought you here to heal your injuries."
At this point, Song Ziming sighed in wonder: "This Junior Sister Shen is young, having been in the sect for less than a year, yet she dares to rush forward and fight a monster. No wonder the Sect Master accepted her as a disciple. Maybe he can even take her in as his personal disciple in the future..."
Wait...wait, Shen Qingqing was fighting that monster? How come she didn't know?
Jiang Liqian was stunned.
Didn't Shen Qingqing faint? How could she be fighting with a monster? Did she wake up after losing consciousness?
However, she just sneered at Song Ziming's sigh.
Shen Qingqing is the treasure in the palm of Immortal Master Qingzhi and his most beloved little disciple. However, due to the fact that her spiritual roots are not of good enough quality now, he has only given her the status of an inner disciple for the time being. After he finds ways to help her improve her spiritual roots in the future, it is only a matter of time before he accepts her as his personal disciple.
They are the "best" and "most enviable" master and apprentice!
"The destruction of the forbidden area's seal is no small matter. I will explain the whole story to the people at the Discipline Hall. Junior Sister Shen... is she awake? I'll go to the Discipline Hall with her."
Song Ziming tried to stop her from getting out of bed, frowning. "Her injuries were minor, and she's already awake. But you don't have to go. The people from the Discipline Hall are already on their way."
Jiang Liqian lowered her eyes and said nothing more.
Song Ziming glanced at her and reminded her again not to move around, not to waste her spiritual power, and to have a good rest. After getting Jiang Liqian's nod in agreement, he pushed the door and left.
Jiang Liqian hugged her knees, rested her head on them, and closed her eyes.
Everything in the dream is fleeting.
After the dream, I felt uneasy.
Jiang Liqian was not a dull person. Although she was injured in the battle with the monster, it was not serious enough to make her unconscious. Later, Tingfeng arrived in time. No matter from which perspective, she should not have been like a weak mortal and fainted in front of the monster.
She would suddenly fall into a coma, and this happened more than once or twice. Although she did not remember what she saw after she fell into a coma, the remaining consciousness was always stored in her brain, like a bow that had been drawn very fully and had an arrow placed on it. Her consciousness knew who she was aiming at, but she, the person drawing the bow, was unaware of it.
Like a doll on a string.
It's scary, uncomfortable, and makes people panic.
Something must have happened.
Or, what is about to happen.
Her dreams, her subconscious, and her intuition were all warning her.
But she didn't know how to deal with such a "warning".
If it were her previous life, she would have gone to seek out the Immortal Qingzhi to resolve her doubts, but now—
Bite your lower lip slightly.
She didn't know whether she should ask her master.
After all, her "feeling" was unfounded and might even make her master worry about her for no reason.
She didn't want anyone to worry about her because she was afraid she couldn't pay it back.
"Everything in the world has its own laws and its own beginning and end. The end of destiny and the path forward cannot be figured out overnight." The bamboo door opened and someone walked slowly in.
He had handsome eyebrows, wore a light and gentle green shirt, and stood tall and straight. As he walked in, large patches of sunlight from behind the door shone through the bamboo shadows and leaf veins.
Jiang Liqian's whole body stiffened, and she didn't raise her head for a long time.
If there was anyone she was afraid to see in her previous life, it was him.
She still remembers that when she was expelled from the sect, he tried his best to defend her and wanted to request to re-investigate the truth. When she was forced to retreat step by step and was desperate, she made a harsh statement and vowed to be irreconcilable with the Tiangan Sect and have no relationship with it anymore. He looked at her with deep disappointment and sorrow in his eyes.
The eldest sister of Tianqian Sect cannot have a weak side.
Whether she is facing her master, elders, fellow disciples, or sisters-in-law, she must always remain calm, always be everyone's strongest support, and always give them hope.
But when a person gives all his hopes to others, his own heart will be filled with darkness.
She is human.
Not a fairy.
She would cry, feel pain, and feel helpless and desperate.
And the only one who could comfort her and to whom she could speak freely without any scruples was him.
He grew up with her since they first met in the bamboo forest. They listened to the wind and watched the rain together, drank tea and brewed tea, and played chess together. He saw her cry, saw her complain, saw her heartbroken and unable to control herself. He knew all her embarrassment.
He was always like a gentle spring breeze, listening to her stories, her dissatisfaction, her resentment, her hatred, her hopes, the path she wanted to take, the immortal she wanted to become, and silently and gently soothing all her negative emotions.
She was an orphan without a father or a mother. After her master, the first person to enter her heart was him. She treated him as her own brother and relied on him like her only confidant, and was greedy for the warmth he gave her.
She would also work harder to cultivate and practice sword skills, to show him her achievements and prove to him that she was not a weak and good-for-nothing person.
She remembered all the kindness he had shown her and always thought about repaying him.
She never thought of him being disappointed in her.
It was when she broke with the sect.
That day was so ugly.
Overnight, she was left with nothing.
Now that they have met again, even though she knows that he has no memory of his past life, she still doesn't dare to look at him, look into his eyes.
She felt extremely guilty towards him.
She had made a promise to him that she would definitely, definitely, protect the Tiangan Sect and its purpose, slay demons and monsters, protect the people, and achieve enlightenment and become an immortal without fear of danger.
She achieved none of them.
Even though she was abandoned by everyone, he did not abandon her, but she was not worthy after all.
“Sometimes, forcing yourself to do something will make neither others nor yourself happy.”
A cup of spiritual tea at just the right temperature was handed to her, and a bony hand gently pried open her fingers that were almost pinching into her flesh.
A light azure light flashed, and the pain in the knee disappeared immediately.
Tingfeng smiled slightly and placed the back of his hand on her forehead.
Cold and heat intertwined, and finally calm returned.
"In the world of cultivation, there's something many people do—if you're lost, hesitant, and can't see the way forward, why not go to the Tianji Pavilion and try your luck?
"Perhaps Heaven will reveal it."
