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

Chapter 622 The Bright Moon Shines (2)

She appeared at that moment.

From the bright moon, from the clear light, from the deepest darkness.

They came rushing to me.

In that instant, I seemed to hear the sound of porcelain shattering on jade.

The wind was still, the grass and leaves were still, and even the cool moonlight was still.

Only her, only her—like a flowing galaxy, crashing into my eyes, from then on, it seems I can only see this clear moonlight.

When the floating veil brushed against my face almost imperceptibly, I finally belatedly felt a slight sting.

The white gauze was so clean, without a speck of dust.

And I am covered in filth.

The instinct for survival drives me.

I longed to reach out to her, but my broken body couldn't muster even a shred of strength.

Save me, my God.

I'm on the verge of not being able to go on living.

"How could he be so pitiful..."

The girl's cheeks were flushed like snowflakes, her bright eyes and white teeth shone through, and her innocent sigh fell in the moonlight, like a snowflake imprinted on her heart, both icy and light.

"Master, over here, please come quickly!"

"I found a really, really pitiful junior brother!"

As she approached me, I instinctively closed my eyes and shrank back in shame. She thought I was scared and gently comforted me, saying, "Junior brother, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm your senior sister. Shall we go home?"

"...I'm dirty, I'm dirty...don't come any closer..."

"Look where it's dirty."

She flicked her finger lightly, and a cool breeze swept across my cheek. All the filth on my body vanished completely in her smile.

I found out later.

Jiang Liqian.

My God.

She is the true pride of heaven.

She has a doting master and elders, senior brothers and sisters who treat her like a younger sister, loving parents and brothers, and a sect leader who appreciates her.

She is talented, insightful, possesses unparalleled spiritual roots, has unwavering perseverance, and has the most beautiful smile in the entire sect and the entire world.

Furthermore, there was another exceptionally talented individual, like her, who became the fiancé of the chief disciple of the Sacrificial God Sect.

Her life was perfect, like it was covered with flowers and brocade, while I had nothing.

I was jealous of her, insanely jealous.

Senior sister, my senior sister, you will never know how deep and far the darkness in my heart is. It is just instinctively trying to please you, pretending to be innocent and cute.

"What's wrong, are you having a nightmare again?"

I suddenly opened my eyes and a hand, slightly cold, gently covered my forehead.

I looked at her with complicated emotions.

On the 103rd day, she had been keeping watch over me for more than three months.

She should have given up long ago.

I should neither have become her junior brother nor should I have continued to live.

“Some people won’t appreciate it,” I warned her in a hoarse voice, “You shouldn’t be so nice to me.”

She just smiled, a bright smile that even the warm and gentle spring sunshine couldn't match.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my junior brother and I am your senior sister. It's only right that I treat you this well!"

"Children who daydream won't get any sweet treats."

As she spoke, she secretly stuffed half a piece of sweet lotus root starch cake into my mouth.

"Master said that you have eaten too many pastries this month and forbids you from eating any more."

Shh, shh—! Keep your voice down!

"It's just a little bit, I secretly kept it all for you, so you can't tell on me..."

"Hey, what can't you complain about? Tell us what you want to say!" The eldest senior brother's teasing voice came from the doorway, followed by the second senior brother, the third senior sister, and the fourth senior brother.

They all came to see me, and the room was filled with all sorts of magical treasures and elixirs, all for calming the mind and nourishing the spirit. Even my master had my eldest brother bring me the calming incense specially made by the peak master of Danfeng.

So much warmth filled my little house. I stared at the girl in the center of the light, and for the first time, I was so stunned that I didn't know what to do.

I was supposed to be a dirty, broken tile, carelessly discarded, but there was someone who was willing to pick me up in my wretched state.

She generously shared her radiance, her happiness, and her beauty with me.

She wanted to pull me out of the mire.

No, no, she never thought about how resistant I was to getting dirty. In her eyes, I was just as good as everyone she loved.

I once asked her, unwilling to accept it, "Senior sister, aren't you afraid that one day I will betray you, that I will hurt you? I... am not..."

She laughed heartily, her bright eyes sparkling, as beautiful as a banished immortal.

A sharp sword light was drawn from her hand, as swift as a dragon and as fast as lightning, and her chilling aura made it difficult for anyone to approach her.

"Junior brother, remember, looking back and forth will prevent you from walking your own path and upholding your own Dao heart. I cultivate the Dao, so I should follow my heart and do what I want to do."

She sheathed her sword, walked towards me, and handed me a long, gleaming black spear.

"I've thought about it for a long time. If I want to cure your nightmares at night, I can't rely on others. I have to rely on myself. When you become strong and capable, you will naturally be fearless and won't always have wild thoughts."

"This is the Xuan You Spear, which I forged myself after pulling out the tendons of the Black Flood Dragon and consulting with the Peak Master of the Weaponry Peak. Its body is incredibly hard; even a celestial weapon cannot break it. My skills in formations are not proficient, so I can only teach you some basics. However, I have some knowledge of spear techniques. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just beat them to a pulp!"

Under the cold, bright moonlight, the black gun barrel reflected the mysterious and powerful blue dragon emblem, and also the girl's bright and piercing gaze.

For thousands of years afterward, I would always caress this Xuanyou Spear, lost in thought, wondering, if... if my senior sister were still here, what kind of spear techniques would she have taught me?

If she were still alive, would she be proud to see how powerful and capable I am today?

Will she be happy?

But if she knew that my nightmare had shifted from my dark past to her, and that I was hopelessly sinking deeper into it, wouldn't she be very disappointed?

I'm so scared, scared to see the disappointment in her eyes.

"Junior brother, have you ever thought about what your Dao is? What is your Dao heart?"

The sparse shadows, accompanied by moonlight, fell on her thin shoulders, as faint as a dream from which she could never wake up.

I glanced at her profile, watching her eyelashes tremble gently in the hazy moonlight. My heart sank deeper and deeper, and I suddenly felt a sadness so intense I felt like I was going to die.

Tears rolled down my cheeks, and I murmured to her, "Senior Sister, will all Dao hearts... ultimately be fulfilled?"

She answered decisively: "Of course!"

My heart is so sad it feels like it's going to break.

But, senior sister, that filthy and lowly dust, his "Dao heart" is itself a desecration of the gods who have favored him.
