Chapter 538 No one can replace you
She stepped forward, her skirt swaying, and reached out her hand, about to call out the other person's name, when her second senior brother and the others on her left suddenly called out to her happily.
"Junior Sister, Junior Sister, come and see who's back!"
"It's Junior Brother! Junior Brother is back! Come quickly!"
"Come quick! The person you've been longing for is back. Now you don't have to stare at me blankly and keep muttering your junior brother's name!"
She was startled, glancing sideways in surprise, and sure enough, she saw a figure as elegant as jade in the gaps of the crowd. The person wore a long robe with a belt, had black hair and a jade crown, and had exceptionally beautiful spirit sea flowers embroidered on the narrow sleeves of his sword.
That is a spiritual flower that only blooms in the Tianqian Sect.
Junior brother... is that really the junior brother?
Jiang Liqian stopped in her tracks and turned around to walk hurriedly in that direction.
Amidst the bustling crowd, she pushed through the throng, following the path illuminated by the light, and walked briskly to him, her heart brimming with joy.
"Small……"
The next moment, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
She has the exact same face as her junior brother.
Very strange.
Her eyes saw her junior brother, but her intuition and her heart made her instantly reject the person in front of her.
He is not!
He is not!
He is not the junior brother, he is not Xu Youan!
Without a second thought, Jiang Liqian pursed her lips, remained silent, and turned to run back the way she came.
Behind him came the confused calls of his second senior brother and third senior sister.
"Junior Sister, where are you going?"
"The person is right here, why are you running? We're about to leave for Taikun Sect, you crazy girl! Come back now!"
"Be careful, or you'll get punished by the sect leader again. Stop fooling around, junior sister!"
Jiang Liqian pretended not to hear anything.
She gripped her skirt tightly, running forward with all her might, her heart pounding, her eyes fixed on the blurry figure obscured by one gray shadow after another, as if afraid it would disappear, not daring to blink.
The closer she got, the more sluggish her breathing became, and the hotter her blood felt, as if she was about to run out of breath at any moment.
"Junior Brother... Xu You'an!"
The figure submerged in the crowd looked up in astonishment, its eyes filled with disbelief and a faint, shimmering, moist silver light.
Xu Youan witnessed his senior sister leave.
He watched helplessly as she walked away from him, heading towards another person without hesitation. Her flowing skirt left not a speck of dust for him.
A voice in his head told him that this was his destiny, his final fate, and that he was destined to be replaced by someone else. It was all his own choice; this was the price he had to pay for doing what he knew was impossible.
But he was still heartbroken.
His senior sister, whom he cherished deeply and who was etched in his very being, was about to leave for someone else.
From this day forward, for thousands of years to come, there will be no more memories of him in her mind. She will not remember who Xu Youan is, nor will she remember that she once had a junior brother who loved her madly and with all his might.
She will live happily ever after with another, she will become an immortal, and she will stand at the pinnacle of all living beings. Beneath her sword peak are countless people, but there will never again be a humble believer who prostrates himself before her.
Watching her figure gradually disappear into the clamor of the crowd, he almost knelt down in despair. But just when he was in such despair that he felt the world had become dark and gloomy, she lifted her skirt, passed through the crowded throng, and ran towards him.
Like a ethereal flower blooming in the wind, pure and serene, yet radiating the heat of the sun, it blossomed passionately before him, pulling him out of the mire and out of the dark, boundless abyss.
In a daze, he seemed to have returned to a long, long time ago, to the time when he first met her.
He rotted silently in the darkness, waiting to die on his own, while she, bathed in moonlight, flew towards him without hesitation, startling the fireflies in the dark forest.
The past and the present overlap, scene after scene.
He heard her voice—Junior Brother, Xu You'an.
“Senior sister…” His eyes were red, and he bit his thin, alluring lower lip in grievance, his voice choked with sobs.
The inexplicable mist before her eyes dissipated, and Jiang Liqian finally saw Xu Youan's face clearly. When her gaze fell upon the corners of his red eyes, her heart immediately softened, and she felt a pang of heartache that made it hard to breathe. She rushed over and hugged him tightly.
"Senior sister is here, senior sister is here, Ayou, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
His heart skipped a beat, and Xu You'an hugged her tightly, his voice muffled and trembling, as if he were in a dream: "Senior...Senior Sister, what did you call me?"
Jiang Liqian gently patted his back to soothe his emotions: "Ayou, can I call you that from now on? No one is like you, and no one can replace you."
Xu Youan closed his eyes tightly and a smile appeared on his lips.
enough.
enough.
He would die without regrets, even if it meant dying for her.
"Junior sister, don't be silly, it's about to be..." Afraid that his junior sister would be punished again, Fu Wennian hurriedly chased after her. When he saw Jiang Liqian, he was about to say something, but his eyes fell on Xu Youan, who was hugging her.
His expression froze for a moment, then his eyes widened in disbelief. He instinctively took a quick step forward, wanting to see more clearly, but then abruptly stopped, bewildered: "You, how could you, possibly..."
At this moment, Luo Qing'an and "Junior Brother" also caught up. Fu Wennian immediately turned around to re-examine this "Junior Brother", but to his shock, this person did not look like Junior Brother. Instead, it was Xu Zisheng, the personal disciple of the Grand Elder sent by Taikun Sect to guide them.
Strange, he and his junior brother don't look alike at all, how could he mistake him for his junior brother? And it's one thing if he's the only one who made the mistake, but Qingqing also made the mistake, this is simply unbelievable!
At this moment, Luo Qing'an also saw Xu You'an beside her junior sister. She looked at him, then at Xu Zisheng who had chased after her, and frowned in confusion.
How could she mistake him for her junior brother? Xu Zisheng isn't even a member of their sect!
Xu Zisheng himself was also quite surprised. He was indeed called "Junior Brother" in the Taikun Sect, but no one in other sects would call him that. Why did he accept it when Senior Brother Fu and Senior Sister Luo called him Junior Brother?
What's wrong with him? Did he suddenly lose his mind?
Why did he feel something was wrong with his whole body, and had a creepy feeling?
If he remembers correctly, this is the second time he's been mistaken for Xu Youan, right? The last time was...
Xu Zisheng glanced at Jiang Liqian, whose eyes were only filled with heartache as she looked at her junior brother, and felt inexplicably annoyed.
A grown man acting like a sissy, all he does is play the victim and try to gain sympathy, pshaw!
Just as an eerie silence fell between them, Xu Youan, who was holding Jiang Liqian tightly and refusing to let go, suddenly turned pale and fell straight into Jiang Liqian's arms.
Jiang Liqian's pupils dilated, and she cried out in a trembling voice, "Junior Brother!"
