Chapter 5 How about traveling the world with me?
Chapter 5 How about traveling the world with me?
When Su Wusi woke up, she found herself still in her senior sister's room. There was warm tea and breakfast prepared on the table, but her senior sister was nowhere to be seen.
She pushed open the door and found that her senior sister was not in the courtyard either. She happened to run into Ji Tinghan, who had come to visit her senior sister.
Ji Tinghan saw her in her senior sister's room and frowned slightly, thinking that given her senior sister's personality, she must have taken care of her junior sister all night.
"Where is my senior sister?"
"I have no idea……"
Su Wusi felt a pang of regret. She regretted drinking so much even though she knew her cultivation was not as good as before. She wondered if she had said something wrong. It would be fine if her senior sisters knew about those things, but... would they believe her? Or would they think of her as an evil being who had possessed her body?
Ji Tinghan turned and left. He didn't actually have much affection for this junior sister, but since his senior sister liked her, he couldn't show her any displeasure. Now that his senior sister wasn't around, he didn't want to talk to her much either. He didn't like that secretive junior sister and always felt that she would bring bad things.
"Fourth Senior Brother..."
Ji Tinghan stopped in his tracks, feeling inexplicably that the scene looked somewhat familiar.
"Can you teach me how to draw talismans?"
In this life, she must become stronger to protect Xianyun Peak.
Luo Zai Shui didn't sleep all night and sneaked off to the library early in the morning.
Steward Sun, carrying a lamp, was startled by a white figure inside the pavilion: "Oh dear, you brat, this old man is getting on in years and can't take your antics."
Luo Zai Shui rubbed her sore eyes, her face full of apology: "I'm sorry, Steward Sun, I came to check something."
Manager Sun naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against a junior: "What do you want to investigate? I'll help you look for it. Instead of resting in the courtyard, you're just causing trouble. If all else fails, you can have Tinghan or Shiming come. Why do you have to come yourself?"
Luo Zai Shui shook his head and said, "There are some things I don't understand, so I won't trouble you."
After saying that, she opened another book.
Manager Sun knew the books in the library best. Seeing that she had picked up some ancient books, some of which were even written in ancient script and had not been translated, he became curious: "Can you read these?"
Luo Zai Shui shook his head honestly: "Translating word by word is indeed quite difficult, and some sentences are indeed obscure and hard to understand."
Manager Sun smiled and stroked his beard: "I've spent most of my life with these ancient books, and I've only just begun to understand them. It's not easy for you to understand them so easily. I have a book here that records some of my understandings from when I was reading them. If you don't mind, you can take it and study it. Maybe you, a young man, can understand more than I do."
Luo was overjoyed: "Thank you, Steward Sun!"
Manager Sun smiled and waved his hand, then went to attend to his own business.
Before long, the moon was high in the sky. Luo Zai Shui rubbed her throbbing forehead and prepared to get up and go back to her room. She accidentally bumped her head on the table leg. The lamp on the table flickered, which must have been lit for her by Steward Sun before he left.
The night after the Mid-Autumn Festival was very cold. Luo Zai Shui exhaled a breath of white air, and her spiritual power surged within her body, as if to freeze her blood. She thought she would probably have to stay in bed all day tomorrow.
Outside the library, a figure gradually came into view.
"Junior sister."
That person spoke first.
Upon seeing who it was, Luo Zai Shui was the first to break into a smile: "Senior Brother, what brings you here?"
Shi Ming naturally took her hand and channeled some fire elemental energy into her: "At noon, I heard from Steward Sun that you were reading in the library. I went to your room to look for you in the evening, but I didn't see you, so I came to the library to look for you."
"What brings you here, Senior Brother?"
Shi Ming withdrew his hand, then awkwardly shifted his gaze forward and walked alongside her.
"This morning, Han told me that he couldn't find you in your room, and I was worried that you might not be feeling well, so I came to check on you."
Shi Ming's fire elemental power seemed to melt the ice inside Luo's body. The flow of spiritual energy around her seemed to be much smoother, and she no longer felt cold.
"Thank you for your concern, senior brother. I'm fine."
For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say next.
The moonlight poured down, casting long shadows of the two people, and the only sound they could hear was the sound of their footsteps.
"What books did you read in the library, Junior Sister?"
Luo Zai Shui didn't want to hide anything, so she said it directly: "I've read some ancient books and wanted to see if there's a technique that can regenerate people."
"Rebirth?" Shi Ming suddenly understood. "Is it related to Junior Sister?"
Luo Zai Shui nodded. She had indeed felt a little flustered when she thought about these things yesterday, but after thinking it through, she didn't feel anything was wrong.
Now that we have a transmigrator like her here, one more reborn person wouldn't make a difference. Besides, with her and Junior Sister as variables, they might be able to change the fate of Xianyun Peak.
She looked at Shi Ming: "Senior Brother, many things may happen on Xianyun Peak in the future."
As the chief disciple, Shi Ming naturally had his own considerations: "If that's the case, why didn't she discuss it with us?"
Luo Zai Shui shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either: "She must have her own reasons."
"We should also prepare ourselves."
Shi Ming was too calm. Before he knew it, his senior brother and the person in his memory overlapped.
"Senior Brother, what do you think Senior Sister Ji would do if she were still alive?"
Senior Sister Ji Yun, the former chief disciple of Xianyun Peak, was a rare and exceptional woman who died ten years ago in the belly of a demonic beast during the sect's grand competition.
Shi Ming pondered for a moment: "If it were her, she would probably pretend not to know anything, continue to play around carefree, and then subtly test the waters. Once she has figured everything out, she would have already laid out her plan and be ready to close the net."
"Then we should too..."
Shi Ming interrupted her: "Junior sister, plans can't keep up with changes. Senior Sister Ji's death is a warning."
Luo Zai Shui's blood instantly turned cold. Yes, how spirited Senior Sister Ji was back then! She and her like-minded friends were dissatisfied with the Wen family's tyranny and secretly organized and planned to overthrow the Wen family. However, they made a wrong move. Among them, some geniuses perished, while others went into hiding. No one mentioned them back then anymore.
"Our biggest threat right now is..."
Shi Ming didn't continue speaking, and Luo Zai Shui understood.
For the first time, Luo Zai Shui felt such a sense of powerlessness. Yes, the Wen family's power was growing stronger and stronger. If other sects and families did not unite, then one day the flames of disaster would reach Xianyun Peak.
"Junior sister, you don't need to worry so much. Just focus on getting better." Shi Ming grasped Luo Zai Shui's hand firmly. "I will protect Xianyun Peak and you, junior sister, trust me!"
Shi Ming's hands were burning hot, and so was his gaze.
Shi Ming sometimes appears too composed, so composed that she forgets that the chief disciple in front of her is only eighteen years old, and her admired senior sister Ji is only nineteen years old.
At the prime of their youth, how could they succumb to so-called fate?
Luo Zai Shui gently grasped Shi Ming's hand. Unlike Shi Ming, she was born with a Heavenly Grade Ice Spirit Root, and her body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people all year round: "Of course I believe in Senior Brother. Nothing will happen to Xianyun Peak."
Shi Ming realized his rudeness and quietly withdrew his hand.
Luo Zai Shui smiled: "Senior Brother..."
"What?"
Shi Ming was somewhat dazed.
"Once I recover," Luo Zai Shui paused, "would you like to travel the world with me?"
"it is good……"
