Chapter 3: Tonight, An Lan Joins the Hunt (1)
Looking at the full moon in the sky, the jade rabbit couldn’t help but sigh.
What a beautiful moonlight tonight!
In the past, she had also been the lovely jade rabbit that all the Martial Sisters liked. Even when Bai Lian wasn’t around, her two younger Martial Sisters would take care of her.
However, her position in Qiongming Peak had declined sharply since her true nature was exposed.
She didn’t blame Bai Lian. Bai Lian’s attitude toward her had never changed.
She didn’t blame Bai Lian’s younger Martial Sisters either. The jade rabbit was a reasonable one. If it had been her, she would have done the same thing.
It was only because she was too weak!
No matter how cute the jade rabbit was, she could only lie down obediently when facing Bai Lian’s two “cute” Martial Sisters.
Want to get over us?
You can keep dreaming!
However, after carefully catching the Yu Ying Sword, the jade rabbit realized this was her chance!
This wasn’t a dream.
The jade rabbit had grasped several foundational principles, among which the most important was the axiom, “An Lan is irrefutable.”
The so-called axiom is the obvious truth.
The foundational rule of Qiongming Peak was that a decision made by An Lan was indisputable!
Yu Ying was a new disciple of An Lan. Even if Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei didn’t welcome Yu Ying, they could only accept it silently.
Are you angry?
Just be angry!
Hate Yu Ying?
Just hate her!
The jade rabbit smiled silently.
As long as she could bring the alienated Yu Ying to her side, the game would become fair: 2 vs. 2, with Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei.
The winner was still unknown.
The jade rabbit could turn the situation around as long as the other party showed weakness.
The Yu Ying Sword joins the war!
With this in mind, the jade rabbit was more gentle with the Yu Ying Sword held by her ears.
Let us, warm-blooded creatures, unite together and beat down the two cold-blooded people over there!
(^ω^)人(^ω^)
On the other hand, Bai Lian finally completed her speech with the theme, “Make Qiongming Peak Great Again.”
After a short silence, Su Youwei asked, “Elder Martial Sister, why does the master have a new disciple?”
Bai Lian: “…”
Can I tell you that this has nothing to do with your master?
Of course not!
Bai Lian sighed. “The master’s thoughts are like the clouds in the sky—unpredictable—and like the Return Ruins on the sea, difficult to gauge their depth. Even I…”
She shook her head, then slowly raised her head to look at the bright moon.
She remembered the poem in a trance—
[I toast to the sky to invite the moon as a companion. Including my shadow, we’d have a crowd of three.]
Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei were shocked.
They could only feel that Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian seemed very lonely under the clear moonlight.
She stood there quietly, motionless, her Tao Halo resembling flying catkins, making her figure appear and disappear from time to time.
No!
This can’t happen. The world without Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is not the world they want!
The two younger Martial Sisters couldn’t help but clench their fists.
They began to reflect that, in order to prevent Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian from leaving, they should never do anything she hated in front of her.
“Alas.” Bai Lian sighed.
Fuck you! She had just received a prompt from the system.
Recently, her Tao Halo Special Effect had been upgraded to Version 2.0 due to her greatly improved awareness of the Dao.
The Tao Halo Special Effect Version 2.0 was clearer, and its coverage had extended from her heel to her thigh.
Well, this is an official certification!
Looking at the moon in the sky, Bai Lian became more melancholic.
What’s the use of the Tao Halo to me?
She couldn’t use it herself, so it might as well be an iron bar that could stretch and shrink.
Bai Lian recovered from her brooding.
It was no use for her to be anxious. Let’s continue the topic from earlier.
She said, “You don’t know much about our master, do you?”
All members, including the jade rabbit, nodded.
All year round, the words they had exchanged with An Lan might even be less than a hundred sentences. Even if they wanted to know An Lan’s character, they had no way to start.
Bai Lian sat down on the dresser.
There was a smile on her face.
Just now, she realized she had made a mistake.
She had just said that the younger Martial Sisters were the hope of Qiongming Peak.
Is that all right?
No, it isn’t.
What she had conferred was not hope, but pressure. This wasn’t how an inspiring sermon should be delivered.
Bai Lian decided to change tactics. She wanted to find ways to make the younger Martial Sisters like Qiongming Peak, not just her.
“I’ll tell you about our master for the rest of the lesson.”
“!?”
Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei suddenly became energetic. They immediately sat down on Bai Lian’s bed and covered their legs with quilts.
The jade rabbit also jumped down from the window frame.
She was now with Yu Ying, who had returned to her human form, and it became Yu Ying holding her—an unexpected but harmonious reversal.
“Haw haw,” the jade rabbit handed Yu Ying a Spiritual Herb.
Yu Ying immediately waved her hands gratefully, “Thank you, but I don’t eat grass.”
The jade rabbit chirped and took back the Spiritual Herb.
Yu Ying was very happy.
The sincere warmth made her feel as though she were soaking in a honey jar.
I must repay these lovely Elder Martial Sisters in the future!
