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

Chapter 278 This is not what I want

Jiang Liqian paused for a moment, then stepped on the snow as if nothing had happened, making a continuous "crunch, crunch" sound.

As if she didn't hear what he asked.

There was a flicker of light in Xu Youan's eyes, but as she fell silent, the light in his eyes became dimmer and dimmer, like a candle flame about to be blown out by the wind.

Just then, he heard his senior sister's voice, which was cold but warm.

"You were trying to save me, how could I blame you?"

After a brief pause, she seemed to have made up her mind and said hesitantly, "Junior Brother, I... I don't quite understand this. I know that if you want me to take responsibility, I'll wait a few years, inform Master, and then we'll... we'll form a bond!"

She spoke haltingly and her ears were mostly red. Xu Youan wanted to laugh and thought his senior sister was really cute.

But soon his smile faded like a flower.

He leaned against her shoulder and whispered softly, "But Senior Sister, I don't want you to form a bond with me out of responsibility. This is not what I want..."

The sound of the wind and snow was so loud that Jiang Liqian couldn't hear clearly. She wanted to ask more questions, but the person on her back had frozen lips that turned purple and had no strength to answer her.

Her heart tightened and she called his name loudly, but there was no response from his back.

A feeling of panic suddenly filled her heart.

She looked at the distant road, then turned back to look at the footprints that had been buried by the wind and snow. She gritted her teeth, quickly found a sheltered cave, untied her belt, helped Xu Youan in, and leaned against the stone wall.

"Wait for me to come back." She touched his cold face, then turned around and rushed into the cold wind.

......................................................

[Host, your first priority now is to improve your Master and Senior Brothers' favorability towards you. Host, you must work hard!]

Shen Qingqing, who had finally tied her hair up, tugged at the hairband impatiently, and large clumps of hair fell out in a mess again. She was so angry that she wanted to cut off all the troublesome hair with a sword.

It was still the best era back then. You could choose long or short hair as you like and no one would say anything. I never expected that in this world where one can cultivate immortality, people also pay attention to the saying "your body and hair are given by your parents"!

Dregs! All dregs!

In order not to be left too far behind by her second and third senior brothers, she went to the bamboo forest to practice swordplay privately as soon as her lessons at Qimingzhai were over.

Unfortunately, her swordsmanship is not very good. She can hurt herself when swinging the sword.

He returned to Kun Ya Ju exhausted and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed without even washing up or having dinner.

Early this morning, I was so hungry that my stomach ached. I didn't have the energy to go to the kitchen to grab breakfast, so I could only eat the extremely unpalatable fasting pills in the house.

In the past, it was Jiang Liqian who taught her swordsmanship, served her tea and water, and helped her wash and bathe. Now she had to do everything herself, and she was completely overwhelmed.

But at this moment, the system is still urging her to complete the task!

Screw this shitty mission! If it weren’t for cultivating immortality, she wouldn’t do such thankless tasks!

[The host's emotional instability has been detected. Should we abandon this mission and instead search for treasure in the secret realm?]

Shen Qingqing stopped drinking water in an impatient manner and started coughing due to choking.

"Why don't you let me fight a tenth-level monster now?"

Look, is that even human language? She's even talking about treasure hunting in secret realms. With her current cultivation level, where she can only draw Qi into her body, she's going to go there? She's probably going to be devoured the moment she enters, right?

But no matter how angry she was, Shen Qingqing still combed her hair, took the snacks, and went to increase her favorability points.

She always had an inexplicable fear towards the Immortal Master Qingzhi, and her third senior brother was cold and icy, with nothing but swords in his mind. She had nothing in common with him.

In her previous life, she had the best relationship with her second senior brother, so in this life, she planned to conquer her second senior brother first.

Although the second senior brother was a bit romantic and amorous, he was still very good to her. No matter where he came from, he would always bring her gifts. She deliberately made things difficult for Jiang Liqian, and he stood on her side. She thought she could easily defeat him.

She remembered that Second Senior Brother's favorite thing to eat was the pastries she made herself. She made these by combining the desserts from modern dessert shops with traditional pastries. Now, like hot pot, they are very popular in the world of cultivation.

It was infuriating. Why hadn't she thought of using these skills to earn spirit stones in her previous life? Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so servile to that nasty bitch Jiang Liqian just for a little bit of voluntary service.

After many twists and turns, she finally arrived at Xiong Ling's yard. Shen Qingqing took out a mirror and adjusted her hair, deliberately revealing her slender white neck and her pitiful and lovable eyes, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

There was no movement inside.

Shen Qingqing waited for a while, but no one opened the door, so she knocked on the door again anxiously.

While knocking, he couldn't help but mutter to the system in his mind: "Could Second Senior Brother not be in the yard? There is no class in Qimingzhai today. Did Second Senior Brother also go out to practice?"

[System detection shows that the mission target is within the hospital. Please continue your efforts.]

In the yard?

Then why don’t you open the door?

Could it be that he didn't know she was outside and thought it was some other playboy looking for him?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing simply knocked on the door and shouted inside: "Second brother, second brother, open the door, it's me, I'm Qingqing!"

"Second senior brother!"

"Second senior brother!"

Xiong Ling, who was meditating in the house, had reached his limit of patience and finally could not bear it anymore. He waved his hand and opened the gate.

Shen Qingqing's loud shouting outside the door had already attracted a lot of onlookers from the chores. Xiong Ling didn't want to embarrass himself any further, so he welcomed the person in with a forced smile, and then closed the door with a bang.

"Junior sister, what do you want from me?" Xiong Ling asked politely, suppressing the anger in her eyes.

However, Shen Qingqing did not notice Xiong Ling's dark face and happily pushed the food box in front of him.

"Second Brother, cultivation is the hardest part. This is a cake I made myself. It's delicious and you can't buy it anywhere else. I brought it here especially for you to try."

Unexpectedly, Xuan Ling didn't even glance at the beautifully presented cakes. She said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Junior Sister. However, I'm already fasting and won't eat these grains. Please go back, Junior Sister."

Shen Qingqing finally noticed his alienation and was stunned.

But thinking that they were not familiar with each other, she suppressed the slight strangeness in her heart, continued to put on a smile, and tried her best to promote her cakes, saying coquettishly: "Second Brother, we have just arrived at the sect, and it is still early for fasting. Master won't notice if you sneak a little bit of food. Just try it, I promise, it's really delicious, the kind that you want to eat more after eating it!"

The anger in Xiong Ling's eyes had turned into disgust.
