After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 536 So fast

Tingfeng neither said yes nor no; he simply gazed at her calmly and sorrowfully through the misty autumn colors.

Like bamboo leaves fluttering down into the stream, like smoke and clouds destined to be scattered by the wind.

“Qianqian,” he lowered his head, his voice slow, “I told you, you can go to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and find the Pavilion Master…”

"I don't believe in fate, and I don't want to see what my future holds!" Jiang Liqian suddenly stood up, her eyes and face turning cold. "If the outcome is the same as before, I'll accept it."

"Brother Tingfeng, you have already helped me so much. If I am destined to be despised by everyone and unable to be reborn in this life, please don't save me!"

After saying that, Jiang Liqian drank the spiritual tea in front of her in one gulp, gripped her sword tightly, and turned to leave.

Decisive and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

Listening to the wind, I sat under the low eaves of the wind and rain, watching her, with only the sound of raindrops falling in my ears.

For a long, long time, he lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, his pale blue robes stained with deep dampness.

The tea's aroma had faded, the sky was darkening, and looking around, autumn colors were descending: "But I can't save you..."

How can a lifeless puppet save a woman whose life is so vibrant?

All he could do was watch her.

Watching her triumphant and carefree, watching her surrounded by friends and relatives, watching her fall from grace, her blood staining her broken sword, watching her die again and again.

Ah, what is fate?

It was poison, it was shackles, it was what allowed him to maintain this lifeless body, to steal moments of pleasure, and to meet her again, to see her once more.

-

When she flew back to Sword Peak, her eldest brother, second brother, and third sister were all there. The second brother was still recovering from his illness, and the third sister had been taking care of him. The eldest brother, however, seemed to have been waiting for her to return. Hearing the news, he had been waiting at the gate of her courtyard for a long time. As soon as he saw her, his eyes lit up and he immediately came to greet her.

"Junior Sister, you're finally back! If it weren't for the sect leader's strict order, I would have already torn down Three Words Cliff and Miscellaneous Service Peak!" Si Chuan hugged Jiang Liqian tightly, his eyes full of joy at seeing her.

Jiang Liqian's heavy mood was relieved by him, and a genuine smile appeared on her face: "Senior Brother, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back! Without you, my darlings haven't received any praise. It's made me lose all motivation to create them. I've been feeling really down for a long time!" The eldest brother clapped his hands and pulled Jiang Liqian quickly into the courtyard. "Come here, I have something to show you."

Jiang Liqian was confused and was pulled inside by him.

Si Chuan waved his sleeve and closed the courtyard gate, then took out a large object from his Qiankun bag and placed it in the center of the courtyard.

This thing was so huge that it almost crushed the whole yard.

"What...is this?" Jiang Liqian stared dumbfounded at the wooden stake, which was at least five stories high, utterly shocked. "A wooden boat?"

Upon hearing this, Si Chuan jumped up in anger: "This is the Star Chariot! The Star Chariot!"

Jiang Liqian was even more shocked. She circled the huge "wooden stake" several times, but she couldn't see any trace of the "Star Chariot" on it.

Seeing her actions and expressions, Si Chuan almost lost control of his emotions!

"I only made a few minor modifications to it, adding a five-story building and a few more grooves for storing spirit stones. You can't even recognize it? I haven't even put all my other inventions on it yet!"

"..." Seeing Si Chuan jumping up and down and putting his hands on his hips, Jiang Liqian dared not anger him any further. She stared at the thing in front of her for a long time, and then pretended to suddenly realize something. "Senior Brother, you are amazing! The originally free and easy star raft that rides the wind has actually been turned into a tall and majestic wooden boat that can withstand a thousand arrows. Junior Sister really has to admire you!"

Si Chuan's face twitched, realizing that his junior sister wasn't just praising him in a pretentious way, but was subtly mocking him.

"Since you have such good taste and know how to praise it, I'll give you this star raft."

Jiang Liqian paused as she bent down to touch the carved patterns on the hull, turning back in surprise: "Senior Brother, although this thing looks rather strange on the outside, the wood is thousand-year-old black sandalwood, which is quite valuable. You're just being so generous as to give it to me?"

Si Chuan didn't take it to heart, flicked his robes, and said arrogantly, "What's the big deal? You're my junior sister. If I have something good, shouldn't I share it with you? Besides, this Star Chariot isn't given to you for free."

Jiang Liqian looked up in confusion.

Si Chuan held up one finger and laughed, "Super good news! Your fourth junior brother, who is also your fourth senior brother, has sent a letter!"

Fourth Senior Brother? Bai Yu?

Upon hearing this unfamiliar address, Jiang Liqian was in a daze for a while.

She herself had never met this person, whether in her past life or this one. In her limited lifespan, he seemed to rarely appear in the sect.

Thinking that her master had never seen his disciple again when he left, Jiang Liqian felt a sudden pain in her heart and hurriedly looked away.

"A letter? What did Fourth Senior Brother say in his letter?"

"It's a greeting to us, a bit of curiosity about you and your two new disciples, and an apology to the sect leader... In short, the sect leader instructed that I probably can't be with you, your second senior brother, your third junior sister, and your junior brother for this sect competition. I have to go to my fourth junior brother's place to bring him back. The sect leader said there are important matters to discuss, most likely related to the recently emerged demons, and we can't delay."

Hearing this, Jiang Liqian understood somewhat what her senior brother meant, but she didn't want to be separated from her senior brothers and sisters at Zhenfeng again. Her tone became urgent as she spoke: "Senior brother, isn't the sect competition held within our sect? You gave me the Star Chariot, intending for it to deliver us on your behalf? There are only a few of us left at Zhenfeng. Can you bear to see us separated again? Why hasn't our fourth senior brother returned for so many years? Has he never even thought of coming back to see Master? Does he even know…?"

Did he know that his master, who had been so kind to him, had left him forever, left this world, and would never return...?

Seeing her suddenly become so excited, Si Chuan scratched the back of his head, somewhat bewildered, and then reached out to touch her forehead.

"I don't have a fever... Junior Sister, what are you talking about? I'm just going to pick someone up. I might miss the first half of the sect competition. Besides, I'm the disciple in charge of the Formation Peak. Even if I went to the Taikun Sect with you, according to the rules, I wouldn't be allowed to participate, and..."

Si Chuan hesitated before asking, "Where did we get any master? Are you talking about the sect leader? He is indeed temporarily in charge of our formation peak, but I think the sect should soon appoint an outstanding elder as the peak master of our formation peak, and then..."

With a creak, the courtyard gate was slowly pushed open. Jiang Liqian stood there, turned her head, and stared blankly at her second senior brother Fu Wennian's eyes filled with sorrow.

Tears fell with a "plop".

The eldest brother... apparently doesn't remember anymore.

So fast.

So fast.
