The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

Chapter 29: An Lan’s Hint

Yan Yue was certain that she had never been so embarrassed before!

Even when An Lan hung her up on the beam when she was a child, it was not as bad as this.

Even when she was "cuddled up" with the eldest princess not long ago, she was not as nervous as this.

Run away?

She was now physically weak, unable to lift any strength, let alone An Lan, Bai Lian’s Martial Sisters could easily catch her.

As for moving forward, Yan Yue dares not to do so.

After pushing open the door, the cold wind outside was wildly howling.

As the candles flickered, the dim light gave the impression of a prison interrogation room to those unaware.

Yan Yue felt that once she crossed over, she would likely be pressed onto the table and subjected to the cruelest torture known to man.

She counted the occupants around the table, which consisted of seven people and a rabbit.

That’s too much!

Yan Yue was now filled with regret.

If only she knew earlier, why would she have returned so early?

Isn’t it delightful to enjoy a few more days in Heluo Country with Bai Lian, the eldest princess, and then come back?

She has not yet gained the upper hand in the battle against the eldest princess.

Despite being the oldest, she was always left at the bottom during group battles.

It truly angers her!

She wants everyone to know that there is a clear hierarchy and she is quite capable.

However, now is not the time to linger on such matters.

Yan Yue tried to force a smile on her face.

Desperate, she came up with a suitable excuse to get away!

She weakly said, "Tonight is New Year’s Eve. I specifically brought Bai Lian back from Heluo Country for this occasion. You all enjoy your gathering and have a good time. I’ll go back to the Zhuyan peak to visit the Blood Tree Patriarch first."

Having said that.

Without waiting for An Lan’s response, she abruptly turned around and headed towards the door.

However, Yan Yue clearly overestimated her physical condition.

She, who had suffered greatly and had internal injuries, was already handicapped in her legs and feet. Her muscles were stiff like dried clay due to the tension.

So.

In that instant of turning around, her right foot unexpectedly suffered a cramp.

Oh no!

Although Yan Yue had foreseen the tragedy, in reality she was utterly powerless to do anything about it.

Her toes suddenly stretched straight, and her body completely lost its balance.

"Yan Yue!"

The cry of Bai Lian sounded, but it was still a step late.

Yan Yue fell down like a pillar in front of everyone.

"Boom!"

A loud bang suddenly exploded in the courtyard at the top of the Qiongming Peak.

Followed closely by Yan Yue’s moaning and wailing cry, "Hiss… my stomach… hiss…"

After taking a few breaths of cool air, the temperature in the room seemed to have risen a bit.

"…"

Bai Lian helplessly pressed her forehead.

She had no eyes left to look at the "stupid" woman who had thrust her butt out and smashed the threshold to make a pit.

But with a group of women staring at her, she couldn’t don’thing.

She hurriedly took two steps forward and helped Yan Yue, who couldn’t climb up, to stand up.

"Are you okay?"

Bai Lian squatted down and carefully straightened Yan Yue’s clothes, as if taking care of a child, and dusted off the little bit of dirt that was sticking to the top.

It was not until she stood up again that An Lan’s voice could be heard faintly.

"Come and sit down, I have already informed the Blood Tree and it will come over soon."

Bai Lian turned around and happened to see An Lan gently placing a white porcelain tea cup in her hand.

It was a cup of herbal tea, emanating a fragrance similar to her own body scent.

Bai Lian didn’t think much of it, but Yan Yue was different.

Her face was pallid, as if powdered.

This move is called "burning bridges".

An Lan was completely cut off from her escape route and could only follow nervously behind Bai Lian as they walked towards the table.

As Bai Lian took the empty seat next to An Lan, Yan Yue remained motionless.

In short, she was very anxious.

Yan Yue bit her lip lightly.

Isn’t it scary like meeting in-laws for the first time?

An Lan’s tone remained calm, "Yan Yue, why are you just standing there, come and sit."

I dare not.

Yan Yue was on the verge of tears.

Although it was just an ordinary wooden chair in front of her, she felt as if there was a sharp thorn sticking out of it. She dreaded that sitting on it would cause her blood to spill.

However, under the scrutiny of many eyes, she could only grit her teeth and force herself to sit on the chair.

Isn’t it just a little pain? Endure it and it will pass!

Yan Yue displayed an attitude of bravery and fearlessness.

To defeat An Lan, one must pay a "bloody" price.

She has already taken the first step at Harvests Palace and should not back down now.

Closer.

Finally, it was almost completely stuck together!

In this moment, several blood-colored tree branches suddenly reached in through the window.

Knock knock.

That was the sound of the tree branches hitting the window frame.

"Master An Lan, I am quite big in size and can’t come in easily, so I am standing outside."

Yan Yue’s body stiffened.

The Blood Tree Patriarch?

For some unknown reason, all the distress weighing on her was lifted in this moment, and even the soreness in her waist and thighs was greatly reduced.

She no longer hesitated, and sat down directly.

The chair didn’t have any spikes, instead, it was soft and cool, as if Bai Lian’s palm was gently caressing it.

"Hey, is the Blood Tree Patriarch not coming in?"

At this moment, Xiao Jinse looked curiously out of the window.

The Blood Tree Patriarch revealed a kindly smile, "I am a vegetarian, so even if I come in, I can only be a supporting character. It’s fine for me to just accompany Yan Yue like this."

"So that’s how it is."

Xiao Jinse nodded.

The affection between the Blood Tree Patriarch and Master Yan Yue is truly enviable.

Yan Yue, who had recovered her composure, waved her hand and said, "You don’t need to worry about it. When we return to the Zhuyan peak, I will ask the sect leader for some high-level nutrient fluid."

"There’s no need to go through so much trouble."

An Lan stood up.

When she walked to the window, a blue "water" droplet appeared in her palm.

The moment the droplet appeared, the temperature in the room also dropped several degrees.

"This is the sap from the precious tree that I discovered during my exploration in the ancient ruins. Although some of its spirit Qi has dissipated over time, it is still far superior to those nutrient solutions." An Lan directly handed the drop of water to the Blood Tree Patriarch, without giving him any chance to refuse. "Today is the last day of the year, a time to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new. I invited you not to simply watch Yan Yue, but to celebrate with us."

More than just the Blood Tree Patriarch was stunned this time.

However, the Blood Tree Patriarch instinctively uttered, "Then the sect leader…?"

An Lan nodded earnestly and said, "Later, I will personally present my congratulations to him."

The Blood Tree Patriarch immediately put the matter aside and sincerely offered his congratulations.

An Lan returned to the table in a leisurely manner.

She was greeted by a look of astonishment from Bai Lian.

Is this really my master?

This idea immediately came to Bai Lian’s mind.

The master was not the kind of person who would throw tantrums, but it was extremely rare to see her speak kindly to others, because she simply didn’t want to deal with anyone else!

An Lan seemed as though she had not noticed Bai Lian’s gaze.

After sitting down, she lightly flicked the golden ribbon on her sleeve, and a sumptuous dinner appeared on the previously empty table.

Plentiful food and drink.

The appearance of these dishes is quite satisfactory.

In the cold night, the rising heat blurred Bai Lian’s vision.

An Lan said, "Since everyone has arrived, let’s start the meal."

"Thank you, master."

Led by Xiao Jinse, including the jade rabbit, they all expressed their gratitude to An Lan.

Bai Lian was almost completely bewildered throughout the entire meal.

She originally thought that her master and Martial Sisters were sitting in a circle to interrogate her about what she had done in Heluo Country.

Of course, she could not honestly admit to what she had done.

Because she wasn’t doing anything proper, what she was doing was…

Nevermind.

Anyway, I can’t explain it in detail, as it will lead to trouble.

But who would have thought that the story would suddenly turn to a family peacefully enjoying their New Year’s Eve dinner?

Sitting at this spacious square table, it seems as though all conflicts among the people have disappeared.

Qing Luan and the third Martial Sister, who used to dislike each other, were now serving food to each other.

With the encouragement of Martial Sister Tong Yao, the fourth and fifth Martial Sisters surprisingly started to try drinking alcohol.

Meanwhile, the jade rabbit sat happily in Hong Yi’s embrace, continuously nibbling on the grass.

In the end, even Yan Yue drank with An Lan.

Bai Lian, with chopsticks in hand, remained speechless for a long time.

All of this made her feel unreal. It wasn’t just her master, but everyone, including the world itself that had become unreal.

She was like a silent bystander, separated from everything that was happening.

After a long time, a hand suddenly fell on her shoulder.

The warm touch came and Bai Lian woke up suddenly.

The face that came closer was clearly her master’s delicate and beautiful face, as beautiful as a water lily.

"How is the taste?"

A new task immediately came to Bai Lian’s mind.

Oh, do you really need to remind me of that?

She decisively nodded and said, "It’s very good."

In this way, the corners of her beautiful face suddenly bent into an almost imperceptible curve.

"!!!"

Even so, Bai Lian could feel the warmth of the rising sun on this cold night.

Even her body, which although improved, still remained cold, began to emit a little warmth.

She wanted to say:

"This meal is truly delicious!"

As soon as midnight arrived, fireworks were set off outside the house.

Amidst the continuous rumbling, dots of red, yellow, blue, and green light ascended into the sky. Accompanied by a crackling explosion, they illuminated the sky into a dazzling array of colors.

The entire Duxian sect was boiling with excitement.

Ling Xuan, who is lively and active, is the first to run to the window.

"Let’s go make a wish!"

She shouted loudly.

"Be careful, don’t trip."

The Blood Tree Patriarch outside the window hastily caught her and lifted her onto his own branch to sit on.

Immediately after, the jade rabbit and Tong Yao ran out.

Xiao Jinse, Su Youwei and Yu Ying all followed after they turned back and saw Bai Lian nodding.

At this moment, Qing Luan, who was sitting quietly on the side, despite feeling slightly nervous, attempted to take a step towards the crowd outside.

"I’ll take you to the top to see what the Duxian sect looks like tonight!"

She transformed into the Qing Luan Divine Bird and perched on the edge of the cliff.

After some hesitation, people gradually climbed onto her back.

Qing Luan flapped her wings and, trailing blue and green radiant feathers, broke through the smoky canopy of fireworks into the endless night, adding a touch of color to this cage-like sky.

This is a scene that many people can see.

But no one paid attention to Qing Luan anymore, nor did anyone worry that someone would pay attention to Qing Luan.

"I hope that the orthodoxy of the Duxian sect will still be passed down on the earth in the next era. If so, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Among the floating clouds.

Jue Yunzi, who withdrew his gaze, turned to Elder Gaoyi and spoke.

Even on Elder Gaoyi’s usually solemn face, a smile appeared, "They say that the world is unpredictable, but I believe this time it will happen."

Jue Yunzi nodded silently, his eyes unintentionally slipping back to the top of the Qiongming Peak.

In the suddenly empty room, An Lan took the initiative to invite Bai Lian.

"Shall we go out for a walk?"

"Mmm."

Bai Lian agreed joyfully.

In fact, Yan Yue was also in the room, but she was so physically exhausted that after relaxing too much, she ended up falling asleep right on the table.

This is the Duxian sect, with the Blood Tree Patriarch guarding outside, so there is no need to worry about her.

Bai Lian and An Lan left the room one after the other.

After leaving the room, they walked side by side.

Without a destination.

It was like taking a post-meal stroll, only that they walked along the downhill road, passing hills, plains, streams and wooden bridges, until they finally emerged from the back door of the Duxian sect.

Bai Lian remembered this as the path she took when she chased after the jade rabbit.

Suddenly, An Lan stopped in her tracks.

The wind caused her clothes to sway gracefully like flowers in the breeze.

She said, "In previous New Year’s Eves, you were alone in the house. Today, I brought your Martial Sisters to wait for you in the house, but the difference is that you came back."

Bai Lian said, "Actually, you could have informed me earlier, so we wouldn’t have to wait until tonight."

An Lan shook her head, "I know you would have come back even without being informed."

Bai Lian couldn’t help but lower her head.

She suddenly felt that she had become thoroughly inferior.

While her master and fellow Martial Sisters were preparing dinner, she was up to mischief at Harvests Palace.

An Lan didn’t want to dwell on this matter and changed the subject by saying, "Before you arrived at the Taixuan Taoist Sect, the Demon of the Outer Realm attacked it. It seems that this land can no longer remain calm."

Bai Lian nodded in agreement.

The threat brought by the Demon of the Outer Realm far exceeds that of the demon sects and demonic beasts.

Once they occupy this land, mortals will have no space for survival.

However, Bai Lian still harbors doubts.

"They have clearly invaded the Taixuan Taoist Sect, so why did they retreat in the end?"

An Lan said, "Perhaps they were searching for something, but couldn’t find it, so they retreated."

"What were they looking for?"

"I don’t know." An Lan shook her head. "When I was exploring outside, I collected some information. The Demon of the Outer Realm arrived in this world for the first time many epochs before, searching for something. Later, a great war erupted in this world, and many unimaginably powerful beings perished here. Some left behind their legacies, while others left nothing at all."

Thanks to the Lord of Reincarnation and King Daming, Bai Lian has some understanding of this matter.

This news was also the pillar that supported her to continue moving forward.

Even the Lord of Reincarnation fell here, so are there even stronger people buried here?

As long as she can find the inheritance of those people, perhaps she can defeat Red Dust Heavenly Lord.

The two stopped chatting, found a moderately sized rock to sit on, and silently watched the still blossoming fireworks.

Slowly, when An Lan remained motionless, Bai Lian shifted her buttocks and leaned in next to her quietly.

Gradually, as An Lan leaned left, Bai Lian leaned directly and rested her head on her shoulder.

An Lan’s body trembled slightly, but quickly regained composure.

She picked Bai Lian’s storage jade pendant out and played with it seemingly absentmindedly.

"Actually, I noticed that when you called Yan Yue’s name just now, you didn’t use the title ‘Master’."

"…"

Bai Lian’s pupils contracted.

She was about to defend herself when An Lan forcefully pushed the jade pendant back into the trench between her breasts.

Bai Lian was completely unable to attend to these small waves now.

The turmoil that rose inside her body was even more violent!

It can’t be, it can’t be.

Could it be that when she, the eldest princess, and Yan Yue were playing together at Harvests Palace, her master had been watching them from outside?

That’s too too too…stimulating…

No, it’s too scary!

Hmm.

Wait, that’s not right either.

Bai Lian pursed her lips.

If it were really the case, the master would have rushed in and separated them, so how come she waited until now to hint at her?

"Master…"

An Lan interrupted Bai Lian, saying, "Let’s go back in a little while."

Bai Lian dared not say anything further.

Although her master’s shoulders were soft and the scent on her body was intoxicating, she still felt uncomfortable and restless, like sitting on pins and needles.

They sat until the fireworks in the sky gradually dissipated, and then they both stood up and leisurely walked towards the Qiongming Peak.

The way back was still peaceful with no twists and turns.

On the mountain trail, An Lan said goodbye to Bai Lian and went straight back to her own cave.

Bai Lian returned to her room, feeling uneasy and restless.

By this time, Yan Yue and the Blood Tree Patriarch were no longer there, and the Martial Sisters who were soaring in the sky had not returned yet.

She sat in front of the dressing table for a long time.

Finally, she stood up and retrieved the hidden Past Stele.

The Present Life Stele has sealing power, while the Past Stele seems to have the ability to reverse the river of time.

She was still thinking about whether she could use the stele to see her Master, who was still young when she first entered the Duxian sect.

However, the outcome left her disappointed.

"Why is there no response at all?"

Bai Lian patted the stele, finally confirming only one thing, that this stele is extremely hard!

Even though her Hard Skill is about to break through a thousand, it is not even half as good as the Past Stele.

"Looks good but useless!"

Bang.

Bai Lian collected the Past Stele again.

She then cast her gaze upon the Future Mirror.

There is a rumor that this mirror was intentionally given to the eldest princess by someone from the Taixuan Taoist Sect. She forgot to ask about it when she was there, and now is a good opportunity to inquire.

With this in mind, she immediately sent a message to Qingxuan Sword Master.

She didn’t know anyone from the Taixuan Taoist Sect, so she could only gather intelligence through Qingxuan Sword Master.

In the later part of the night, Qing Luan and the others finally returned by flying.

Bai Lian deliberately asked the second Martial Sister to stay behind.

She still remembered the promise she made with the second Martial Sister before.

Now that the threat of the Taixuan Taoist Sect has been removed, it’s also time to settle the grievances for the second Martial Sister.

"After the Lantern Festival, we’ll go to Sword Washing Pavilion."

"Hmm."

Xiao Jinse lifted her head with force.

She had successfully broken through to the Soul Changing Stage in cultivation base, which may not be enough to overthrow the entire Sword Washing Pavilion, but it was enough to defeat those who once humiliated her without any problem.

Actually, she looked forward more to the time alone with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.

With a feeling of joy, Xiao Jinse returned to her own room and peacefully fell asleep.

Bai Lian, who had some spare time, chose not to engage in cultivation or self-improvement. Instead, she lay down on her bed and devoted herself to read a short novel.

She didn’t know what would happen.

If her master intended to deal with her, she could only lie down and let herself be ridiculed.

At the beginning of the new year, the entire Duxian sect appeared to be very calm.

Where there is joy, there is also sorrow.

In a deserted corner, Ji Shang huddled at the street corner with clouded eyes.

No one knew that this crazy beggar was once the leader of Xingluo Fortress.

"I hope this year will bring a good fortune."

At this moment.

Zhao Haiya and Gongliang Shu frowned as they walked through the street.

Disaster is coming, and the task of Bai Sect this year is still very heavy.
