……

The night is deep, staining the sky like ink. In the small courtyard, a solitary lamp sways gently, casting a soft and lonely light and shadow.

Xue Chuxin held the teapot with her slender hands as white as jade and slowly poured out the clear tea. Mist then rose from the celadon teacup, lingering and lingering.

The woman sitting opposite me gently picked up a piece of lotus cake with her slender fingers, slightly opened her pearly teeth, and her red lips were stained with a little icing sugar as she tasted it, just like a red plum blossom proudly blooming in the snow.

"Fifth sister, how about trying this Mingqian Longjing tea?"

Xue Chuxin gently pushed the teacup across the tea table, and the silver bracelet on her wrist made a crisp jingling sound.

Yang Jingxue gently picked up the white porcelain teacup with her bare hands, pursed her lips and sipped it gently, her eyes full of elegance: "Fourth sister's tea-dividing skills really remind me of sister Lingyun's nine-bend return phoenix teacup skills."

Xue Chuxin lightly brushed the tea stains on the table with her jade-colored sleeves, shook her head and chuckled, her eyes slightly rippling: "Fifth sister, you are joking. How can I compare with the tea art skills that Junior Sister Lingyun learned from Qushui Liushang?"

The silver tassels in her green hair swayed gently with her movements, sparkling like tiny stars under the light, adding a touch of softness.

Yang Jing's jade-like fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a clear sound: "I haven't seen you for three years. Fourth sister has broken through the Nine Rings."

"I've heard about it. Fourth sister has been in the limelight recently. Not only did she save Ah Cong, she also dealt a heavy blow to Saint King Silver Moon in Zhongnan Mountain."

Xue Chuxin lowered her eyes and smiled calmly, "You can't take all the credit for this. I was just following Xiaojun's suggestion and it happened to be a coincidence."

These two are two of the nine goddesses of the previous generation. If their conversation was heard by outsiders, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in the world. Even the Chen family would probably be shocked.

In fact, it’s not about what they talked about, but how they called each other - Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister.

You know, although everyone knows that they have a close relationship, it is really puzzling that they call each other sisters so directly and intimately, after all, no one has ever heard of any blood relationship between them.

Sworn brotherhood?

Yang Jingxue opened her red lips and said with a smile: "That's because you, Fourth Sister, have a deep friendship with the Chen family."

Xue Chuxin looked calm and nodded slightly in response: "Speaking of relationships, Fifth Sister's connection with the Chen family is a bit deeper than mine."

Yang Jingxue changed the subject and asked, "Have you heard about Brother Yu's story?"

In an instant, the night wind blew up, blowing up the white flowers all over the ground. Xue Chuxin's fingers hidden under her sleeves suddenly tightened unconsciously.

She remained calm and replied slowly, "I have heard about it. I just hope that good things will happen to him."

Yang Jingxue raised a meaningful smile and asked softly, "Really?"

After saying that, she suddenly put down the teacup in her hand heavily. The celadon and sandalwood tabletop clashed, making a crisp sound like broken jade. Then she said, "Fourth sister, how long are you going to keep this a secret from me?"

As she spoke, Yang Jingxue leaned forward, the pearls inlaid on her hairpins almost touching the tip of Xue Chuxin's nose, and she stared at her with burning eyes.

"I have always known that you and Brother Yu have always had a deep friendship and a great understanding."

"Back then, I was one of the people who started the trouble, and I have made fun of you two many times over the years."

"It's a pity that fate plays tricks on us."

"But I never expected that you and Brother Yu had a daughter."

Xue Chuxin raised her eyes instantly, the red and gold silk hairpins on her temples jingling in the night wind, and she retorted coldly: "Fifth sister, who are you listening to?"

Yang Jingxue sneered and said, "Xue Chuxin, are you insulting my intelligence?!"

"Why didn't my elder sister come back after leaving home for more than ten years? Don't you know?"

"She left the Chen family not long after you took office in the Chang'an Military Region."

"Besides, I never knew you had a daughter. That child looks quite similar to you."

"Oh, goddaughter?!"

Today, Ji Tiantian's apprenticeship ceremony was extremely lively, and she was able to see the entire ceremony from a distance.

It was during this ceremony that she saw Xue Shiqiong.

When she saw Xue Shiqiong for the first time, she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

Full of doubts, she hurriedly asked Chen Menglin and others, only then did she find out that Xue Shiqiong was actually Xue Chuxin's goddaughter.

After she returned to the room, the sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger, even mixed with a hint of indescribable weirdness.

This feeling followed her like a shadow, and she could no longer suppress it. In the end, she asked someone. The first person she thought of was of course her good sister - Xue Chuxin.

But suddenly she felt something strange, and then when she calmed down and looked carefully, if she intertwined and integrated Xue Chuxin and Chen Yu's appearance and temperament in her mind, she would find that they were somewhat similar to Xue Shiqiong.

In an instant, she suddenly realized and finally understood where her sense of familiarity came from.

The so-called mother-daughter bond.

Xue Chuxin and Xue Shiqiong, mother and daughter, had similar temperaments and behaviors due to their words and deeds. Coupled with their appearance, this was why she felt such a strange sense of familiarity when she first met Xue Shiqiong.

Xue Chuxin's face darkened slightly, a cold light flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She opened her mouth slightly and said in a cold voice: "Fifth sister, your speculation is really groundless."

"Although I know a little about my elder sister's leaving home, what does this have to do with me?"

"As for the so-called daughter, it is even more nonsense."

Yang Jingxue refused to give in. She crossed her arms and said, "Nonsense? Xue Chuxin, stop pretending to be confused."

"Who would believe if you said there was no hidden story behind your various actions in the Chang'an Military District over the years and your various reactions after my eldest sister left the Chen family?" Xue Chuxin stood up, fluttering her sleeves. Her posture was elegant and had a hint of the majesty of a general. She slowly walked to the window and looked at the white flowers swaying in the wind outside.

A voice came slowly: "Fifth sister, you and I both know that many things in this world are not as simple as they seem."

"My eldest sister has her own choice, and I have my own difficulties."

"As for the daughter you mentioned, it's just your imagination."

Yang Jingxue also stood up and walked quickly to Xue Chuxin's side. She stood shoulder to shoulder with her, her eyes also fixed on the white flowers outside the window, but her tone was a little more aggressive: "Difficulties? What difficulties can make you hide it like this?"

"We've been through so much together, and yet you're so defensive of me now."

"Or do you not consider me a sister at all?"

Xue Chuxin turned her head slightly, her eyes fell on Yang Jingxue, a complex expression flashed across her eyes, and she said softly: "Fifth sister, why do you say that?"

"I have never thought of not treating you as a sister. It's just that this matter is really not what you think."

"What's that?" Yang Jingxue asked without any hesitation. Her eyes were burning and her tone was full of reluctance.

Yang Jingxue then added: "Don't talk nonsense anymore. Since I can see the clues, others can naturally think of it too."

"Who can you hide it from then?"

Xue Chuxin was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath, looked up at Yang Jingxue, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

After these words were spoken, Yang Jingxue's almond-shaped eyes slightly raised.

But her face looked solemn, and she said, "Since my elder sister hasn't come back in these years, that's fine."

"But now Brother Yu is bedridden, and his whole body is like a stupor."

"My eldest sister still hasn't come back this time. I heard that the Scarlet Church caused trouble."

"However, the Xia family is not far from here, and Xiaoxun is about to inherit the position of clan leader. How can he do that without her as his mother?"

"So, you really should go meet her."

"Whether the child is a goddaughter or a biological daughter, you have to go meet her."

"Xue Chuxin, have you forgotten the blood oath we made under the moon, and the sisterhood that was as pure as Lanzhi's?!"

Xue Chuxin's delicate body suddenly stiffened, her posture standing straight like jade, and she did not speak for a long time.

Just at this moment, the copper bell on the eaves suddenly rang. The Duke Chen's Mansion was indeed profound, and even the copper bell on the eaves exuded a unique charm.

Xue Chuxin's breathing was instantly frozen, turning into fine ice chips, flashing a cold light in the silent air.

A sour taste mixed with the smell of rust slowly rose from her throat, like a bitter poison, corroding her heart.

Looking back to the past, when the catastrophe had not yet come, or when the catastrophe was raging, under the call of Xia Qingyun, the beauties on the Goddess List frequently met.

They even fought side by side and faced the catastrophe together.

Later, under the guidance of Xia Qingyun, the nine goddesses became sworn sisters.

They made a vow to support each other, work together, and reach the pinnacle of soul masters - the hall of glory of Titled Douluo.

Among them were the Ice Palace's Snow Douluo Han Yiyu, and her master's mortal enemy, the Nine-tailed Douluo Hu Zhiyun from Qingqiu Forest.

Although there is still some estrangement between the two of them, this does not hinder their sworn friendship with the other seven people.

For some unknown reasons, the nine people kept their sworn brotherhood a secret, and this sisterhood was only known to the nine of them.

Over the years, although the nine goddesses were scattered all over the world, the connection between them has never been severed.

They share what they have and even help each other, including precious resources, important information, secret transactions, and even helping each other.

Everyone knows that they have a close relationship, but no one expected that they are actually a hidden alliance.

In fact, this strategy was a huge success.

Among the nine people, someone successfully got promoted to Titled Douluo a few days ago.

Now, except for their ninth sister, the other eight have all been honored with titles.

The period of two to three decades was the most dazzling time for them, when they were honored with titles and became the most powerful ones.

Xia Qingyun of the Xia family, Xue Chuxin of the Xue family, Yang Jingxue of the Yang family, Han Yiyu of the Bing Palace, Hu Zhiyun of the Qingqiu Lin, Meng Ye of the Xuanyege, and Xuan Qingya of the Yue Palace, these people who have great influence on the major forces in the world, are all among them.

This hidden network of forces is like a giant beast lurking in the dark, and it is extremely terrifying.

As a leader and eldest sister, Xia Qingyun is like Wu Gensheng in "Under One Person". She possesses a strong personal charm and enjoys a high prestige among everyone.

However, there are some differences. Her personality style is like that of an empress.

Xue Chuxin's attitude towards Xia Qingyun is extremely complicated.

She bit her lower lip suddenly, and bright red blood seeped between her white teeth, just like red plum blossoms falling on snow-white clothes, enchanting and sad.

The long eyelashes cast messy shadows on the porcelain-white skin, and the crescent-shaped marks on the palms caused by pinching exuded a rouge-like color.

After a long time, Xue Chuxin suddenly relaxed, as if she had made a difficult decision and then felt relieved.

She murmured softly, "Well, I should go see her. Maybe she has been waiting for me for a long time."
