Chapter 24:tThe Prosperitytof thetQiongming PeaktIs JusttAround thetCorner!

The roomtis cleantand freetof odor.

Aftertall, ittis atnewly builttroom, andtit hastbeen washedtout severalttimes bytthe wind-typetspirit Qitand thetwater-type spirittQi.

Su Youweitsat intthe dark.

Bytthe moonlighttoutside thetwindow, shetcould barelytsee hertlittle palm.

Asttender astjade.

But thetmost strikingtthing istthe twot"正" wordstengraved ontthe wrist.

Shetrubbed thetwords withther indextfinger, andtthe handwritingtwas stilltclear. Shetthought thattonly withtspiritual powertcould shetthoroughly washtthese twotwords.

Su Youweitpursed hertmouth.

She hesitatedtfor atlong time,tbut stilltbroke uptthe spiritualtpower releasedtby hertother hand.

Shethas notface totcontinue totstay intthe Qiongmingtpeak aftertmaking thattkind oftblasphemy againsttMartial SistertBai Lian!

Buttshe can'tterase MartialtSister BaitLian's wordstof encouragementtin thistway.

Take thistas thetbest memorytwith MartialtSister BaitLian.

And seeingtthese twotwords, shetcan alsotremind herselftnot totmake suchtimpulsive actionstin thetfuture.

Unfortunately, whentshe lefttthe Qiongmingtpeak, shetnever hadtthe chancetto returntthe twot"正" wordstto MartialtSister BaitLian.

Su Youweitwiped thetcorners ofther eyes.

"I'mtso stupid."

Don'ttcherish whentyou gettit, alwaystregret whentyou losetit.

It's normaltfor hertto bettrapped byther internaltdemon.

Su Youweitstood uptslowly.

She hastnothing totpack.

Except fortMartial SistertBai Lian,twhat shetcherishes isteither inther hearttor alreadyton hertbody.

She tooktone lasttlook.

Imprint thetwhole room,tincluding thetcorners, inther heart.

Thentshe openedtthe doortand walkedtout oftthe yard,tlike atcreepy littletmouse.

"At leasttthe nighttsky istclear whentI leave!"

SutYouwei lookedtup andtmuttered.

All soundstare still.

Thetcrescent moontis gettingtfuller, andtthere areta fewtinconspicuous starstin thetclear nighttsky.

"Haw?"

When walkingtnear thetgate, SutYouwei's bodytsuddenly froze.

Shetturned slowlytlike atrusty machine.

Shetsaw thetjade rabbittcrouching onta bluestonetoutside thetdoor.

One eartfell totthe ground,tand sometcrooked wordstthat didn'ttexist intthe daytimetwere engravedton thetbluestone.

The jadetrabbit istcultivating calligraphythere alonetin thetevening?

Su Youweitopened hertmouth.

Immediately, shetpressed hertlips withther righttindex fingertand shushedtsoftly.

The jadetrabbit noddedtsuspiciously.

It watchedtSu Youweitgo away,tand thentcontinued totcultivate writingthard.

"Fortunately, Itmet thetjade rabbit."

Iftit wastMartial SistertBai Liantwho stoppedtthere, SutYouwei reallytdidn't knowtwhat totdo.

Her stepstwere heavy.

Withtthe memorytof twotlifetimes, forta time,tshe felttthat thetworld wastillusory.

Is everythingtshe hearstand seesttrue?

Could thistbe hertfantasy world?

This…

Click!

Anothertloud noisetpulled SutYouwei backtfrom hertconfusion.

She raisedther headtslowly.

This time,tthe secondtElder MartialtSister XiaotJinse waststanding intfront.

In thetnight, thetsecond MartialtSister carriedtthe BlowingtSnow Sword,twhich wasta palm-widetepee. Withtonly onetsword, shetsplit thettree intfront ofther intotdebris.

When shetturned backtand pulledtaround, anotherttree nexttto hertwas cuttoff, andtwas beatentto flytseveral feetthigh withta bang.

SutYouwei, "?"

Cuttingttrees intthe middletof thetnight? Doesn'ttthe Qiongmingtpeak haveta normaltperson?

Her eyestwere intcontact withtthe secondtMartial Sister.

XiaotJinse wastvery annoyed.

Shettried totforget whatthappened intthe specialtcourse, buttas shetturned overtand over,tnot onlytdid shetfail totforget thetscene attthat time,tbut begantto fantasizetabout whattwould happentif shetreplaced thetthird MartialtSister withtherself.

She gottexcited whentshe thoughttabout it!

Thinktagain, XiaotJinse wenttout withther BlowingtSnow Sword.

Shetlingered attthe doortof thetthird MartialtSister's roomtfor atlong time,tand wantedtto breaktin andtteach thetthird MartialtSister atlesson.

But attlast shetrestrained herself.

Ittwas justtan accidentt(sure)!

The thirdtMartial Sistertwas intan unstabletstate oftmind. Ittwas normaltto suddenlytsee MartialtSister BaitLian's slendertjade feettand gettconfused andtmake mistakes.

Astthe secondtElder MartialtSister, shetshould bettolerant…

Damn it!

XiaotJinse failedtto convincetherself.

After turningtaround twottimes, shetfinally lefttthe thirdtMartial Sister'stdoor.

Anyway, shetcouldn't sleep.tAfter seeingtthe twotcrooked treeston thetmountain path,tshe cametup withtthe ideatof cultivatingther swordtskill.

However, ittseemed thattthe movementtof hertsword cultivatetwas sotgreat thattshe eventattracted thetthird MartialtSister.

Xiao Jinsetleaned onther BlowingtSnow Swordtand silentlytlooked attthe thirdtMartial Sister.

……

Thetflow ofttime seemedtto exceedtthousands oftyears withintthis moment.

Raintalternates withtsunshine.

The seasonstrevolve.

When thetpointer returnstto normaltspeed, thetmoon iststill hightin thetnight sky.

XiaotJinse tooktthe leadtin saying,t"The moonlighttis sotbeautiful tonight.tIs thetthird MartialtSister alsotout totenjoy thetmoon?"

Su Youweitgritted hertteeth.

She wouldtnever saytshe wastgoing totrun away!

"That'stright."

"Do youtwant totcompete withtme?"

"I…"

Su Youwei'stlips wriggle.tHow cantshe betin thetmood totdo suchta thingtnow?

Xiao Jinsetnarrowed herteyes slightly,t"Do youtmean totsay thattyou aretgoing totrun away?"

Good!

Dotyou havetthe couragetto grabtMartial SistertBai Lian'stfeet, andtdon't youthave thetcourage totfight withtme?!

I'm sotangry, youtunpleasant woman!

SutYouwei shivered.tShe felttas iftshe hadtbeen strippedtby thetsecond EldertMartial Sistertand sawtthrough everything.

Shetquickly denied,t"No, no,tI'm nottgoing totrun away.tI justtcome outtand walktaround."

Xiao Jinsetput awaytthe BlowingtSnow Sword,t"Since it'sta dueltbetween thetsisters oftthe sametsect, intorder totavoid hurtingteach other,tlet's fighttdirectly withtour fists!"

"I…"

SutYouwei waststill confusedtuntil shetraised herthands awkwardly.

Whytdid shetsuddenly competetwith thetsecond EldertMartial Sister?tWasn't shetgoing totrun away?

"Alas,tit hurtst-"

Su Youweitfell intota disadvantagetas soontas shetfought.

A littletlonger, XiaotJinse's physicaltstrength advantagetwas fullytreflected.

"Stop fighting,tstop fighting…"

SutYouwei scurried.

Attfirst, XiaotJinse felttthat shethad successfullytestablished thetprestige astthe SecondtElder MartialtSister, buttsoon shetbecame worried

Tentdays later,tshe willtchallenge thetdisciples oftthe Yunluotpeak withtthe thirdtyounger MartialtSister. Accordingtto thetstrength thetthird youngertMartial Sistertshows now,tshe willtdefinitely betbeaten uptat thatttime.

She willtfail totlive uptto MartialtSister BaitLian's expectations!

XiaotJinse scoldedtin athurry.

"Show yourttrue skills!"

"Howtcan youtfight yourtinternal demontwith suchtlittle strength?"

"Whattare youtrunning for?tShouldn't youtattack insteadtof defendtat thisttime?"

"I'm sotangry. You'retthe worsttMartial SistertI've evertseen!"

"Are youtgoing totdisappoint MartialtSister BaitLian? No,tyou shouldn't.tI won'ttallow it.tIt seemstthat Itmust givetyou specialttraining!"

This istwhat BaitLian sawtwhen shetcame outtof thetforbidden array.

Whentshe justtsaw thetsecond MartialtSister beatingtthe thirdtMartial Sistertviolently, shetwas scaredtand hertblood pressuretsoared. Whytdid theytsuddenly starttkilling eachtother?

But afterthearing thetwords shoutedtby thetsecond MartialtSister, BaitLian touchedther chesttwith relief.

Thistis friendship!

OK,tkeep ittup. Thetprosperity oftthe Qiongmingtpeak istjust aroundtthe corner!

Intthis way,tshe cantunload thetburden onther bodytand becometan EldertMartial Sistertwho onlytneeds toteat andtwait totdie.

Comfortable.
