Chapter 629 Are you really sure?
Normally, Jiang Liqian would never have dared to trespass on her master's residence without his permission. But she felt that this spirit pearl was very important, and she couldn't just let it disappear before her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I will apologize in person if I have the chance."
After speaking, Jiang Liqian took out three wind-stabilizing talismans, activated them with spiritual power, and shot them towards the three key points of the hurricane array.
To her surprise, the key to the formation she saw was actually a deceptive move, a deliberate ploy, and the real key was nowhere to be found.
The consequence of destroying the false array's core was that a raging hurricane swept over her, threatening to engulf and tear her apart.
Jiang Liqian narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately switched to the Shitian Sword, preparing to break the formation with force. However, just as the wind was about to lick her hair, the hurricane suddenly dissipated without warning.
The sky was clear and the air was fresh, with even soft sunlight falling on her.
Jiang Liqian gripped her sword, standing there in astonishment for a long time before remembering to chase after the spirit pearl that had flown into the courtyard.
She gently pushed open the courtyard gate, and a cloud of dust rushed in, making her cough several times. Once the dust had settled, she walked around the low corridor and along a path, where the sky suddenly brightened.
Jiang Liqian stood there, stunned.
The sudden view made her breath catch in her throat.
Because someone had carefully arranged a magic array to nurture it, large swathes of purple spirit grass bloomed in the sunlight, lush and vibrant, seemingly stretching to the ends of the earth.
Purple spiritual light scattered throughout the courtyard, flowing through the artificial mountains and streams created from abandoned array plates, like an ancient divine melody expressing silent longing, poignant and moving, yet burning with intense passion.
Tears rolled down her cheeks silently again. Even though nothing had happened, Jiang Liqian felt like she couldn't breathe. It was as if her heart had been ripped out, and an immense, nameless sorrow overwhelmed her.
A blue spirit pearl slowly emerged from among the purple spirit grass, its flickering light like a murmur from a dream.
"Senior sister!"
"Sister..."
who is it?
who is it? !
"Who are you?" she cried out, tears streaming down her face. "Tell me, who are you? Tell me!"
Who would call her "senior sister"? Who would call her "senior sister" like that?
Was it her hallucination?
Or has she gone mad from practicing qi cultivation?
Jiang Li stumbled into the sea of purple spirit grass flowers, reaching out to grasp the spirit pearl. The spirit pearl trembled and, to her astonishment, suddenly shot into the sky.
"Where are you going?!"
Jiang Liqian immediately flew off on her sword and chased after them.
When the courtyard returned to its quiet and deserted state, a figure looked over from afar, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"What's going on, System? Didn't you control the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl and lure it here? Why did it fly away on its own?"
The system was also puzzled.
[Reporting to the host, this object's origin is unknown, but its power is immense. Your points are only enough for me to control it to this extent. The spirit orb's flight was likely due to its own inherent spirituality.]
Where will they go?
This system cannot predict its trajectory.
Shen Qingqing clenched her fists secretly.
She just hoped that her efforts wouldn't be in vain.
Through her observation, although the fates of everyone in the Tianqian Sect have changed, there is only one person who seems to have disappeared. It's as if he never existed in this world; no one remembers his existence, there are no traces of him anywhere, and even Jiang Liqian seems to know nothing about him.
too weird.
So she guessed that this world change might be the work of Hsu Yu-an.
If Jiang Liqian could remember her good junior brother, perhaps everything could be restored to its original state, and she wouldn't have to fail at the last minute.
Fortunately, she has the system, and there are always clues to everything. This neglected courtyard may become a key to unlock Pandora's box.
"System, you said that as long as I do what you say, I can become an immortal and survive. You're not lying to me, are you?"
[Host, rest assured, this system was created specifically for you. Only when you achieve your goals can this system successfully complete its mission. This system coexists with you.]
Shen Qingqing pursed her lips, the tangled ribbons binding her within the magnificent fairyland of the Tianqian Sect, making her look like a lifeless fairy statue. Before long, she was shrouded in the clouds of the peaks, and her face could no longer be seen.
-
Jiang Liqian was riding her sword, chasing after the spirit pearl, about to fly out of the Tianqian Sect. Unexpectedly, before her Shitian Sword even left the mountain gate, it was stopped by the gatekeeper disciples.
She didn't know why.
The gatekeeper disciple looked troubled: "Senior Sister, the sect leader has strictly ordered that you are forbidden from leaving the sect before the marriage alliance ends."
"A ban? Master? When did this happen, and why?" She could hardly believe that her master would confine her within the sect.
The gatekeepers exchanged glances and gave a dry, forced laugh, saying, "Just a moment before you appeared."
Jiang Liqian immediately understood.
That means the master knew she wanted to leave the sect, which is why he gave the order.
But why won't Master let her leave the sect? Is it because he's afraid she'll run away from the wedding?
With her mind racing, Jiang Liqian didn't make things difficult for the gatekeeper. Instead, she turned around and headed to Linglong Pavilion to ask her master for clarification.
When she pressed the divine sword, Qingzhi was already waiting for her at Linglong Pavilion.
"Master." She bowed respectfully.
Qingzhi nodded slightly.
She wanted to ask about what had just happened, but she was afraid that her master was genuinely worried about her running away from the marriage. However, what she and Cheng Xue had said was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. She knew that the alliance of the three sects was important for the stability of the world, and she also knew that she and Cheng Xue were destined to be together. But, but—what about herself?
For the sake of her sect and for the sake of all living beings, must she force herself to become a Daoist partner with another person? Is her fate predetermined by a single phrase, "destined by fate," and she is destined to be with Cheng Xue?
She was well aware of her responsibilities, but she was not a plant or tree, nor was she a puppet without a heart, feelings, or thoughts!
She also has something she cherishes dearly... She has it! She must have it!
That was something she could never accept or compromise with.
She could feel it.
She can...
"Master, I..."
Qingzhi raised her hand to stop her from speaking.
His gaze was deep, his cool and aloof features as cold as frost and snow, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they all turned into a deep sigh.
"Maybe I really shouldn't have been so harsh on you..."
"Master?"
"But are you really sure? Are you really going to abandon everything you have now to pursue an answer that shouldn't exist? Maybe it's something you can't bear."
Jiang Liqian fell silent, her fingers unconsciously tightening little by little, and her heart clenched.
Qingzhi walked to the side, her voice soft and shallow, yet it resounded in her ears like thunder.
"Have you ever considered that everything you have now might have been obtained through someone's arduous efforts? If you give up so easily, all their hard work will be for nothing?"
