Chapter 10: Degeneration of Her Tao Heart (2)
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is a kind person.
When she didn’t know how to live like an ordinary person, Martial Sister Bai Lian sacrificed her precious cultivation time to help her quickly adjust to the mindset of someone unremarkable, someone just like everyone else.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian showed her around.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian played chess with her.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian taught her to arrange flowers.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian…
With all of Martial Sister Bai Lian’s care and attention, she came to realize that she was just an ordinary person when compared to Bai Lian. It was through this understanding that the “Peace of Mind” treatment finally began to take effect.
Within the Duxian sect, after putting aside her personal interests, only Martial Sister Bai Lian would accompany her with such patience.
Her master couldn’t.
Her sister was even worse!
In that moment, Qing Luan thought that only Bai Lian truly cared for her in this world.
And that was when the crack in her Tao heart began to grow wider.
—
Hong Luan asked anxiously, “Don’t you have any other information?”
“No.”
“……”
“Elder sister, do you want me to challenge Martial Sister Bai Lian?” Qing Luan asked cautiously.
“Of course not.”
Hong Luan immediately rejected the idea.
How could Qing Luan, a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, force Bai Lian to reveal her true strength?
“You…” Hong Luan wanted to say more but eventually let out a deep sigh. It seemed there was no better way forward. “Well, if you can find more information, do it. If you can’t, then just forget it.”
It seemed Bai Lian’s vigilance was simply too high. Hong Luan had little hope for Qing Luan’s efforts.
Qing Luan asked quietly, “Since you want to know the strength of Martial Sister Bai Lian, why don’t you challenge her yourself?”
Hong Luan’s face changed.
If she won, others would only say that she was bullying Bai Lian.
If she lost, it would be the end for her.
She couldn’t do it.
Hong Luan stood up, brushing off the conversation. “If you’re fine, rest early. Keep your spirits up. I have something to do, so I’ll leave now.”
Qing Luan nodded expressionlessly.
She really was a ruthless sister. Only there when I’m useful, then tossing me away when I’m no longer needed.
Yet, Qing Luan was surprised to find she wasn’t angry at all.
There was nothing to be angry about. Hong Luan was simply that kind of person.
As Hong Luan left, Qing Luan finished her last sip of black tea. She blew out the candle and lay in bed, hoping to sleep.
But perhaps due to drinking too much tea, or something else, she couldn’t fall asleep.
After a while, Qing Luan got up from the bed.
This room made her feel so uncomfortable. She wanted to go to the temporary hut on Qiongming peak.
Under the dark sky, Qing Luan walked alone.
As she reached the middle of Qiongming peak, she suddenly saw flickering light in the distance.
“Haw!”
It sounded like the jade rabbit.
Qing Luan peeked out and saw Bai Lian, accompanied by the jade rabbit, descending the mountain. Bai Lian held a sword that glowed like clear water.
“Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, what are you going to do?”
Qing Luan?
No way she could learn of my true strength!
Bai Lian smiled warmly. “Go to kill the dragon!”
“Dragon?” Qing Luan was shocked.
Were ordinary demons not enough for Martial Sister Bai Lian?
Bai Lian exclaimed, “This double-headed dragon is nothing but a disaster for mortals. Countless women, girls, and children have been deeply harmed by it. I cannot spare it. Now is the time to do justice for heaven!”
With the guidance of the flower demon, the double-headed dragon would have nowhere to escape. Bai Lian decided to end its reign of terror as quickly as possible and save the other flower demon.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s righteous appearance made Qing Luan’s heart skip a beat.
This was Martial Sister Bai Lian!
A kind-hearted cultivator with a spirit of humanistic care!
Qing Luan couldn’t help but compare Bai Lian with Hong Luan.
But soon, she realized she was wrong. She shouldn’t be comparing them at all. Hong Luan could never measure up to Martial Sister Bai Lian!
Appearance, strength, temperament…
In every way, Hong Luan was no match.
Qing Luan had once thought of surpassing Hong Luan, but now she wondered: Could she really strengthen herself simply by surpassing Hong Luan?
Qing Luan asked nervously, “Martial Sister Bai Lian, can I go with you?”
She wanted to witness Bai Lian’s dazzling presence up close!
But that was just a dream!
Bai Lian was about to decline, but then the system task appeared.
[Task 1, “Get away!” (Reward: The Scroll of Taixu – Ascending to Immortals)]
[Task 2, “What you need to do now is be an ordinary person. Don’t interfere in matters like this.” (Reward: The Scroll of Taixu – Ascending to Immortals)]
[Task 3, “Then come with me!” (Reward: Chess Skill + 2)]
What the hell?
Bai Lian was startled.
The Scroll of Taixu – Ascending to Immortals was a cultivation method as renowned as the “Taiqing Tao Seeking Scroll.”
How could these two tasks be linked?
Bai Lian, having already received a cultivation method from An Lan, had no interest in these two methods. Naturally, she would not take such a risk.
Okay, if you want to go, go ahead.
She chose Task 3.
Bai Lian said, “Then…”
“Huh?”
Qing Luan didn’t expect that answer.
In truth, she regretted asking. Had she just created trouble for Martial Sister Bai Lian?
But Martial Sister Bai Lian really agreed!
Qing Luan was stunned, as if she were in a dream.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian always tolerated her willful demands. What was even more touching was that Bai Lian never asked for anything in return!
“Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.”
“Let’s hurry and come back before dawn.”
“Yes.”
Qing Luan quickened her pace.
She knew Martial Sister Bai Lian was busy.
To teach her, Bai Lian must have mastered time management like no other. Qing Luan couldn’t afford to waste her time any longer.
