After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 447 Good Sister

"Sister Bai, did you miss me?" Yang Qiqi walked quickly over to Bai Lu as soon as she saw her at Chunlu Pavilion.

"Qiqi, when did you arrive?" Bai Lu was somewhat surprised when she saw Yang Qiqi.

"I just arrived today. Something came up at the sect and I was delayed, but thankfully I wasn't late." Yang Qiqi smiled apologetically.

"It's good that you're here." Bai Lu gave a slightly forced smile.

"Sister Bai, what happened? You seem a little unhappy." Yang Qiqi asked with concern.

"I'm fine. Who brought you here?" Bai Lu didn't see anyone behind Yang Qiqi.

"It was Sister Qin, but she said that Sister Bai didn't like outsiders entering Chunlu Pavilion, so she left after dropping me off."

I waited a while until I saw Sister Bai before I dared to come in. I hope you won't be angry that I came in without permission.

Bai Lu shook her head. "No, I invited you here, so naturally I have to take responsibility for you."

"Sister Bai, how is Senior Brother Shen now?" Yang Qiqi couldn't help but ask.

“He is fine and has returned. He is currently in Chunlu Pavilion. I will take you to see him. He probably has many things to ask you.”

"Really!" Yang Qiqi was pleasantly surprised. She thought she wouldn't be able to see Shen Xu this time.

"Where's Sister Guan? I haven't seen her." Yang Qiqi looked around but didn't find Guan Bi.

"She went out for a while and probably won't be back until noon." Bai Lu's voice trailed off as she said this.

She ultimately did not dissuade Guan Bi from entering the Thunder Pool Secret Realm.

She knew that Guan Bi was just as proud, and although she always claimed to be her maid, her strength had never been inferior to hers.

But that's where it ends, if Guanbi continues to stay by her side in a quiet and ordinary way.

Sooner or later, she will be left far behind by Li Xiaoyi, and even by Ye Zhi.

Especially now that Shen Xu is far ahead of them, Guan Bi absolutely cannot accept being the first to fall behind.

So she wanted to gamble in the Thunder Pool Secret Realm. If she succeeded, she would have the confidence to communicate with them on an equal footing. If she lost, she would have no regrets.

Bai Lu couldn't selfishly let Shen Xu face the danger alone, nor could she selfishly cut off Guan Bi's hope.

Therefore, tacitly allowing Guanbi to follow Shen Xu into the Thunder Pool Secret Realm was her best choice.

But the best choice is not necessarily the choice she is willing to choose.

Guan Bi's journey is destined to be fraught with peril, and she can only place all her hopes on Shen Xu.

As long as he can bring Guanbi back safely, she...

"Sister Bai, are you really alright?" Yang Qiqi's worried voice pulled her back to reality.

"I'm fine.

"That Shen Xu guy is really something, still not up at this hour. I'll take you to him."

At this moment, Shen Xu was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the room, shirtless and in pain, with the purple patterns on his body slowly writhing like purple worms.

His flesh was constantly being eroded by the writhing purple patterns, and little bits of crimson blood seeped out from both sides of the patterns, gradually staining his entire body a bright red color.

The excruciating pain pierced his mind through every inch of his skin, causing him to grit his teeth and clench his fists tightly.

The healing energy that the Heavenly River Sword Master injected into him could only ensure that the purple markings would not infect his internal organs, but it could not prevent them from infecting his skin.

Yesterday's battle still had an impact on his body. Touching the purple markings that had climbed up his neck, Shen Xu frowned.

He must obtain the Thunder Spirit Liquid as soon as possible, otherwise, once the purple markings cover his entire body, they will undergo new changes.

By then, even the Heavenly River Sword Master might not be able to save his life.

After feeling the purple markings on his body subside, Shen Xu controlled the steam in the room to wash away the blood, then turned the blood into wisps of blood vapor that dissipated into the room.

He could tell that Bai Lu and Guan Bi seemed to have some kind of conflict, and at this time he should not let the two of them worry.

"Shen Xu! What time is it? Get up!"

Bai Lu pushed the door open and entered, then immediately closed it after seeing the scene inside.

"What's wrong, Sister Bai? Is Senior Brother not wearing any clothes?" Yang Qiqi covered her mouth and laughed as she looked at Bai Lu's rosy complexion.

"How could that be! Qiqi, don't think such nonsense." Bailu hurriedly waved her hand in rebuttal.

Shen Xu then opened the door and came out. Looking at Bai Lu, who kept her head down and refused to look up at him, he reminded her helplessly, "Remember to knock next time."

"Qiqi, it's been a long time," Shen Xu said with a smile. He knew Yang Qiqi was coming even from inside the room.

"Senior brother, I miss you too! But senior brother, you're not really not wearing any clothes, are you?" Yang Qiqi asked in a gossipy whisper.

Upon hearing Yang Qiqi's answer, Shen Xu's expression turned strange, and he casually flicked Yang Qiqi on the forehead.

"What's going on in your head at such a young age?"

"Senior brother, I'm not young anymore." As she said this, Yang Qiqi puffed out her already heaving chest.

But in return, he received another flick on the forehead from Shen Xu.

"Senior brother, why did you hit me? You hit me twice!" Yang Qiqi covered her forehead and complained, feeling very aggrieved.

Looking at the somewhat silly and cute girl in front of him, Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh. He might never see that aloof fairy from his past life again.

But that's fine too; he'd rather see Yang Qiqi continue to be carefree like this.

"Focus on your cultivation and don't think about other things too much," Shen Xu earnestly advised.

"Cultivation, cultivation, all Senior Brother knows is cultivation, it's not fun at all." Yang Qiqi pouted.

“Your senior brother is right, it’s never wrong to cultivate diligently. Qiqi, you have great talent, don’t waste it,” Bailu said softly.

Her expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

"Sister Bai, what did you see?" Yang Qiqi took Bai Lu's arm.

"It's really nothing." Bai Lu smiled helplessly.

"Are you alright?" Bai Lu asked Shen Xu with some concern.

"Don't worry, it's just a superficial injury," Shen Xu smiled at the two of them.

"Senior brother, when did you get injured?" Yang Qiqi immediately released Bai Lu, came to Shen Xu's side, grabbed his hand, and wanted to check his condition.

"I got into a fight, but I'm really fine."

Feeling the softness in his palm, Shen Xu hurriedly pulled away from Yang Qiqi's hand, not only to avoid suspicion, but also because he was afraid that Yang Qiqi would discover his weak state.

Yang Qiqi felt extremely wronged as she sensed Shen Xu's resistance, and her eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Does Senior Brother dislike Qi Qi?"

"Hey! Don't break the rules!" Shen Xu thought to himself, cursing wildly.

"How could that be! You're all grown up now, you should know the principle that men and women should not touch each other."

"As someone who will become the sect leader in the future, one cannot be too casual in speech and behavior..."

"Senior brother just dislikes Qiqi! Senior brother clearly said he would treat Qiqi as his younger sister."

But her senior brother didn't treat Qiqi like a younger sister at all. What kind of older brother would expect his younger sister to act superior while he's around, and wouldn't even let her check his injuries?

"That's not what I meant. It's just that you're all grown up now, not a little girl anymore..."

"I don't care, no matter how old I get, I'll stay by my senior brother's side. Don't even think about abandoning me." After saying that, Yang Qiqi hugged his arm tightly.

Shen Xu's expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Qiqi, let me go first. I already told you I'm injured," Shen Xu said in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry, senior brother, I didn't mean it." Yang Qiqi immediately let go of Shen Xu and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Sigh! It's nothing." Shen Xu patted Yang Qiqi's hair. When did this child become so dependent on him?

Bai Lu watched this scene with a gloomy expression. "Qi Qi, your acting is not bad! I thought you were a good person!"

Since you want to be my little sister so much, then let's be good little sisters for life!
