I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 712 [Side Story: Sworn Sisters (Part 3)]

"You heretics, prepare to die!"

Ayu and Luo Danqing didn't have to wait long before they heard a furious shout from outside, as clear as gold and jade, full of righteousness.

Immediately following, a sword's cry shook the heavens, and the two people hiding inside the house were directly knocked to the ground by that sharp aura.

When the two of them got up and rushed to the broken window, they didn't see anyone, but they saw translucent lotus flowers emerging from the dark red mist outside. The lotus leaves were as graceful as canopies, and the pink and white lotus flowers were blooming brightly, carrying a fresh and refreshing lotus fragrance, spreading out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wherever these lotus flowers passed, the lingering blood energy dissipated and vanished as if encountering its nemesis.

Ayu suddenly looked up at the sword mark that tore through the night sky. She saw a female sword cultivator in white standing in mid-air, her clothes fluttering in the breeze. A long sword with flowing silver light hovered beside her, its blade light flickering. It was the source of that shocking sword light from before.

Just then, a woman dressed in a light green dress with a gentle face appeared out of thin air outside the courtyard, holding a lotus flower in bud.

She looked at the two frightened yet curious little figures behind the window frame, and a reassuring smile bloomed on her face.

"Come out, the evil cultivators have been eliminated, you have nothing to fear."

Looking at the green-clad woman before her, who seemed to have stepped out of a painting, Luo Danqing blurted out, "You...you are a fairy from the immortal sect?"

The woman in green simply maintained a gentle smile and did not answer directly.

A white shadow flashed in the air, and the white-clad female sword cultivator instantly appeared beside the green-clad woman. Her cold gaze swept over Ayu and Luo Danqing, and then turned to the green-clad woman beside her.

"Senior Sister Suhua, now that this matter is settled, we should be leaving."

Su Hua nodded slightly and said to the two girls, "Go home quickly, don't let your parents worry."

After saying that, the two prepared to leave together.

"and many more!"

Just then, Ayu suddenly spoke up. She didn't look at Su Hua in green, but kept staring at the female sword cultivator in white. Under the other's questioning gaze, she quickly pulled out something wrapped in layers of red cloth from the innermost pocket of her clothes.

She deftly untied the red cloth, revealing a small jade sword, no longer than an adult's finger.

The small sword has a smooth, warm feel to its surface. Although small, it is detailed and clear, with complex and ancient patterns engraved on its blade, and a faint light flowing through it.

Ayu's gaze quickly swept over the token hanging at the waist of the white-robed female swordsman. After confirming that it was genuine, she spoke clearly, "I am an orphan and do not know who my parents are, but I have had this with me since I can remember. Even if I sell it, it will come back to me on its own. It has even helped me kill wild beasts when I was in danger."

The white-clad female swordsman's gaze instantly sharpened, and with a wave of her hand, she drew the small jade sword from Ayu's palm into her own.

She stared intently at it, her expression becoming unusually grave.

Su Hua also took a closer look, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes, and explained softly, "This is a flying sword magic weapon specially made by the Xuan Ying Sword Sect. It can protect the body and also transmit messages. Your blood must have been refined into it, so it recognizes you as its master."

After the white-robed female swordsman finished reading, she gripped the small sword tightly in her palm. When she looked at Ayu again, the coldness in her eyes faded, replaced by a complex and indescribable heaviness and pity.

"So that's how it is... This jade sword contains the last words of a fellow disciple of my Xuan Ying Sword Sect. Years ago, she was chasing an evil cultivator when she was seriously injured due to a moment of carelessness. She couldn't stop the evil cultivator from slaughtering your family, and in the end, she risked her life to save only you... Anyway, since we've met here today, it must be fate. You will come back to the Xuan Ying Sword Sect with me; this is also my senior sister's last wish." The sudden revelation of her true identity made A Yu's face turn pale, but the light in her eyes remained unusually steady, without the slightest panic or elation.

She didn't agree immediately, but thought about it for a moment before nodding.

“Okay! But before I go, I must go back to the village first.” Ayu clutched the medicine bag she had been protecting tightly in her arms. “The master who raised me is seriously ill and is waiting for these life-saving medicines.”

Perhaps a cultivator could cure the master's illness, and then she could leave in peace.

Luo Danqing finally recovered from the series of events. She gripped Ayu tightly and said, "Are you going to cultivate immortality with her? Will I ever see you again? My mother said it's a bastard not to repay a life-saving debt, I... Ah! Father—Mother—"

Luo Danqing suddenly realized that she hadn't told her parents she was leaving. What if they came looking for her when the blood snow fell? She turned and ran wildly towards her home.

Su Hua looked in the direction Luo Danqing had left for a moment. She had just discovered that both of these girls had spiritual roots. If fate allowed, they might meet again in the future.

At this moment, Su Hua could never have imagined that Luo Danqing would later become her apprentice and force her from her gentle and good-tempered nature into a violent maniac.

When Luo Danqing returned home, she saw that her parents were so engrossed in blacksmithing that they had forgotten about their child and were therefore safe and sound. She burst into tears.

After her mother figured out what had happened, she was pinned down on a bench and whipped until she cried loudly for the second time.

A few days later, Luo Danqing, who never forgot her punishment, ate a few more meat buns and forgot the danger and pain of that day. Her mind was filled with the wonderful scene of flowers blooming everywhere, and she even shouted in her dreams, "Cultivate immortality, I want to cultivate immortality."

As a result, Luo Danqing fell seriously ill and had a high fever for several days.

Upon seeing this situation, Luo's father entrusted the blacksmith shop to his relatives right after the New Year, and the three of them drove an oxcart to Jinli City to seek immortality for Luo Danqing.

Later, Luo Danqing successfully passed the entrance test of Cangling Sect, embarked on the path of immortality, and also learned about the location of Xuanying Sword Sect.

Whenever Luo Danqing thought of Ayu, she felt a surge of determination. She worked hard to cultivate and improve her cultivation level, thinking that when she saw Ayu again, she would definitely repay her life-saving grace and make Ayu call her "Senior Sister" properly!
She was clearly older, and she absolutely couldn't let Ayu outshine her.

She, Luo Danqing, is not convinced!
Fifteen years later.

After becoming a disciple of Su Hua and receiving a Daoist title, Dan Xi was expelled from the Cangling Sect by the irritable Su Hua, who forbade her from returning to the sect until she formed her core.

Danxi pretended to cry outside the Cangling Sect, acting as if she was reluctant to leave her master. But when she saw that her master really didn't care about her at all, and didn't even give her any spirit stones or magic treasures for self-defense, Danxi immediately wiped away her tears and left without looking back.

She didn't actually do anything special; she was just learning how to refine weapons and control fire, and accidentally burned down her master's flower garden...that's all!

Danxi returned home and took a distant look at her parents and younger siblings whom she had never met. After discovering that her younger siblings had no spiritual roots, she left behind a few bottles of longevity pills and then traveled towards the Xuan Ying Sword Sect.

I thought I would only be able to see Ayu when I got to Xuan Ying Sword Sect, but I didn't expect that not only did they not recognize each other when they met, but they also fought and almost killed each other!
