Chapter 40: I, Bai Lian! (1)
That was a long, long corridor.
Bai Lian took dozens of steps and suddenly felt refreshed!
This wasn’t due to Bai Lian’s skill at finding “holes.”
Her body was quite sturdy, but in terms of soul strength, she was far inferior to Yan Yue, who had remained in the Transcendency Stage for many years.
If both sides really had a fight…
Then…
It was highly likely that Bai Lian would be directly swallowed up by Yan Yue’s soul!
However, the reality was that Yan Yue, who was in a nightmare, had almost no defense against Bai Lian.
Her soul was like a balloon with many holes poked in it.
As long as Bai Lian was willing, she could drill wherever she wanted.
She encountered resistance from all directions as she moved forward, which was merely Yan Yue’s subconscious at work.
It looked determined.
But with a bit more force, it would be pushed away completely.
“I will not tolerate any cowardly acts!”
This was all that occupied Bai Lian’s thoughts now.
Yan Yue was weak and easy to bully; it felt like a punch could make her cry out loud.
But Bai Lian wasn’t the kind of person who enjoyed bullying others; she would never do something as cruel as throwing salt on someone’s wound. She might, at most, add a bit of sugar and then lick it off with her tongue.
“Slurp~”
Bad.
Not bad either.
It had always been this way.
Bai Lian never thought of being a hero to save the world.
That was what the Martial Sisters had to do.
As the supporting role, she didn’t have the ability to snatch away her Martial Sisters’ mission; she just needed to be a good Elder Martial Sister and a good mother, and raising the Martial Sisters up was enough.
Yan Yue…
Hmm, although Bai Lian needed to call her Master Yan Yue.
It was also kind of like a Martial Sister or Daughter role.
She had always been in a sheltered environment, but this care lacked the most important fatherly and motherly love and was replaced with An Lan’s coldhearted scolding, so she never felt like she truly grew up.
“Master An Lan is the same too.”
Bai Lian thought to herself.
The game character card mentioned Master An Lan’s experiences from her younger years.
Not much content.
But it could be seen that, under the guidance of An Lan’s master who never left his name, An Lan basically hadn’t encountered too great storms at that time.
“Actually, it’s not a good thing.”
Once she encountered a major setback, it was likely that she would never be able to recover.
OK.
The patient to be treated now was Yan Yue.
She could explore her master’s secrets later.
Come on, Bai Lian!
Finally.
After passing through the strange and winding “pathway,” Bai Lian arrived at a vast new world.
White.
Very white.
She closed her eyes as she was engulfed by the sudden surge of white light.
Just as Yan Yue had said.
She only felt warmth, fulfillment, and satisfaction in this world.
After a long time.
Everything returned to normal, adapted to this expanse, so Bai Lian was about to set off…
She wanted to find Yan Yue who had been wandering in the nightmare.
What appeared before her eyes were two tall mountains, with thick white snow dotting their peaks.
Two mountains enclosed a valley.
Down the hill was a lush tree-lined landscape in the blazing sun, as well as a small town nestled at the foot of the mountain.
This scene was so realistic, it felt as if it had existed before.
“This is…”
Bai Lian didn’t speak, but suddenly many thoughts appeared in her mind.
I understand.
This is the Silver Frost Mountain in the past!
The Blood Tree Patriarch said that Silver Frost Valley used to be a mountain, but after a great battle, the mountain was flattened, the valley sank, and the underground water burst out, turning into a stream to nourish passing travelers.
That happened over 5000 years ago.
At the time, the Duxian sect had only just been established.
Why did Yan Yue have dreams about events from over five thousand years ago?
If it wasn’t for an external force…
Bai Lian had an answer in her heart.
It seemed like there were a lot of people who had recently been reincarnated and started their spiritual journey anew.
However, there was a problem. Had Master An Lan not realized that Yan Yue was a reincarnated cultivator?
She flew forward.
In the small town at the foot of the mountain, Bai Lian finally found Yan Yue.
This Yan Yue was quite different from the Yan Yue of the outside world.
The “real” Yan Yue liked to wear light purple clothes; most of her clothes were very gorgeous and made people think she was a rich woman at first sight.
This world’s Yan Yue was too simple.
The clothes she wore were a dress from a certain martial arts school, and it was a men’s size. Perhaps from being washed too many times, the clothes had started to fade in color.
She had a knife hung at her waist, resembling a Goose Feather Knife prevalent during the Ming Dynasty.
The knife was very beautiful.
But it was just an ordinary knife.
If Bai Lian were to hold the knife and stab herself, the knife would shatter before she could cause any wounds on her body.
If this Yan Yue were a martial warrior, it would still be acceptable, but unfortunately, she was a cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage, only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Stage.
“This is too poor, right?”
Bai Lian followed far behind Yan Yue.
From morning to noon.
Yan Yue walked around the town without taking a break for a moment.
The child from the family on the east side broke his leg, and she helped the unfortunate child saw the leg off.
A woman’s husband got beaten up due to a small dispute, so she stepped in and beat up both the person who had beaten her husband and her husband.
Someone came to challenge the martial artist at the Martial Art School, and Yan Yue immediately disarmed the person without saying a word.
There were too many incidents to count.
“Is this the humanistic brilliance that you spoke of?”
“Is this the justice and chivalry you spoke of?”
“Is this what you said that got so much praise?”
Bai Lian was confused.
Yan Yue, are you a demon?
Well!
Compared to Yan Yue, she could truly be called a Natural Saint!
At one point, she wanted to rush out and teach this Yan Yue a lesson.
(╯>д<)
But Bai Lian soon found out that things were different from what she had imagined.
When the sun passed overhead.
It was afternoon.
When Yan Yue returned from gathering medicine on the mountain, she mended the poor child’s leg.
In the alley, the bystanders were chatting, saying that the woman’s husband had a gambling addiction, and he could only quit gambling temporarily if he was beaten.
A group of martial artists came from the south and took away the “hero” whose arms and legs were dismembered by Yan Yue. The hero wasn’t a “hero” but a wicked demon who had escaped after murdering his wife and children more than a decade ago.
“…”
Bai Lian was filled with regret.
She had treated Yan Yue as her daughter intimately, so how could she suspect Yan Yue like this?
Yan Yue would definitely be very disappointed when she found out.
She was really an awful woman!
Bai Lian vigorously rubbed her eyes.
Ok.
Her mood was much better now.
“It’s not my fault; why didn’t she explain her moves when she did them?!”
It was not surprising that Yan Yue felt empty after waking up from her dream.
Bai Lian continued to tail her.
She discovered it.
It was probably because of poverty that Yan Yue was so industrious!
Doing laundry, cooking, mending, and irrigating… she was practically capable of everything!
Bai Lian unconsciously compared this Yan Yue to the one outside.
Besides fighting, the Yan Yue outside couldn’t do anything…
Almost got it!
In short, Yan Yue hadn’t said anything wrong.
But Bai Lian wouldn’t go so far as to criticize Yan Yue for her past attitude.
Everyone has their own way of life.
Those who can become Immortals are few; some feel they can become an Immortal Emperor, while others think “Why can’t it be me who enjoys life?” This is normal.
She was also an ordinary person herself.
Her past dream was to be invincible.
Her current dream was to live a happy life with Shifu and Martial Sisters.
Well.
After all, she was a person without morals.
“Where is she going?”
After nightfall, Yan Yue left the town and headed for Silver Frost Mountain, her destination.
Climb the mountain.
Climb to the top of the mountain, then spread out her arms and lie down on the snow.
Watching the starry sky.
Watching the stars reflecting on the rippling waves in the river.
Half an hour later, Yan Yue suddenly sat up.
She yawned and stretched, “It’s not bad to stay here all the time.”
She had a faint smile on her face.
Her smile touched Bai Lian’s heart.
She hadn’t seen such an expression on Yan Yue’s face in a long time.
She understood as well.
Yan Yue knew this was a dream, but she didn’t want to leave this dream now, because this warm dream could fill her heart’s emptiness and make her not think of those strange things anymore.
Bai Lian furrowed her brow.
This was not a good thing.
It’s no use deceiving yourself; you won’t be redeemed!
Once the situation changed, Yan Yue was likely to be consumed by her internal demon.
Is this okay?
Bai Lian couldn’t sit back and let this situation happen.
As this Yan Yue was still immersed in the starry sky above her head, she decisively jumped out from the side.
“Yan Yue!”
The familiar voice made Yan Yue get up from the ground; she looked at Bai Lian warily.
“Who are you?”
“Bai Lian.”
Bai Lian’s answer was straightforward and simple.
Yan Yue immediately shook her head, “I don’t know you, and I’m not Yan Yue, I am, I am….”
She suddenly lowered her head.
Yes.
Who was she?
She seemed to have never paid attention to this issue all along.
What did people call her when she was doing heroic deeds in the small town?
Gong Xuexin.
That’s right, that’s the name!
Yan Yue blurted out.
“I am Gong Xuexin, I am not Yan Yue!”
Hmm?
Bai Lian was stunned.
