Chen Yin suddenly fell silent. After a moment, he put his hands behind his back and said, "Oh, what's there to explain?"
"Just say that I was eager to pick up girls and couldn't bear to see others bullying my pretty sister, so I had to save that evil witch they were talking about."
"What else can they do to me? Beat me up? At worst, I can get under Master's skirt and see who dares to hit me."
Shen Shuanglian hesitated for a moment, then asked hesitantly: "Your... Junior Sister..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"..."
Shen Shuanglian opened her mouth, but didn't say what she wanted to say. Instead, she asked, "What kind of person is she?"
Chen Yin tilted his head and thought for a while, then said seriously:
"He's a child who never grows up and is more worrying than you."
Shen Shuanglian pouted in dissatisfaction: "How did I make you worry?"
"When your parents just passed away, did you always want to die?"
Under Chen Yin's calm gaze, Shen Shuanglian slowly lowered her head, shrank her neck, and said nothing.
"I think I know something about you from the neighbors. Although I haven't seen you for many years, but with your temper as a child, you might do something stupid in a fit of anger."
Chen Yin slowly raised his head: "I don't know if the money I sent you is useful, but that was all my royalties for the past few months."
"I can only remind the neighbors to pay more attention to you, a silly girl."
Shen Shuanglian pursed her lips, stole a glance at Chen Yin's profile, and whispered in defense:
"I...I'm not that fragile."
"That's the best."
Chen Yin stopped talking and lay on the ground with his head raised.
Shen Shuanglian hesitated for a moment, but still asked softly:
"But you made me strong, why did you choose to end everything?"
Chen Yin was silent for a long time before he could not help but smile bitterly: "Because you are still young. And I am already an adult."
"The adult world is so fragile. Sometimes it collapses just like that. There's nothing you can do about it."
Shen Shuanglian puffed out her chest slightly and said unconvincedly: "In this life, we are the same age."
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Yin said with a chuckle, looking at the ceiling with soft eyes.
A small hand secretly held his hand, and Shen Shuanglian said softly: "When you... first came to this world, were you unhappy?"
"It's more than just unhappy."
Chen Yin was too lazy to elaborate and just brushed it off lightly: "But fortunately, I met my master and my junior sister Xiang'er later."
"I finally have a home."
Add up before and after rebirth.
...the only home.
42. Family
Shen Shuanglian couldn't help but continue to ask: "I never knew...why did you move away back then?"
"I heard that you broke up with your family and lived alone. What happened?"
Chen Yin didn't say anything, just looked at the ceiling leisurely.
"Actually, it would be boring if I really told you. You probably don't even want to hear it. It's been talked about so many times on various emotional shows."
Chen Yin said softly, "My parents were arguing and getting a divorce. They were violent and assaulted each other, but they refused to change despite repeated police advice. The divorce lawsuit has lasted for several years, and they haven't given up yet, but I gave up first."
"So I didn't finish college, I fled to a strange city by myself, never had any contact with my family again, and relied on my poor writing skills to write words and sentences that were whining without any reason."
"Then I realized that I couldn't support myself. I thought about it and felt that I had no future. Even if I changed jobs to make ends meet, there was no hope for my life."
"I'm alone anyway, so I might as well just end it all." He shrugged with a relaxed expression, as if he was not talking about his own business.
Shen Shuanglian was stunned for a moment.
She couldn't quite understand that feeling. But she just felt that Chen Yin's smiling face when he said these words made her feel particularly distressed.
"But having said that, it's all in the past."
He put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs and said in a leisurely voice: "Now I have a home to return to. I am also very happy in Yushan."
"There's nothing to be nostalgic about in the past, just forget it and that's it."
Shen Shuanglian bit her red lips and said softly, "Then, your master and junior sister must be very important family members to you, right?"
Chen Yin rarely put away his frivolous look, and after a long time he slowly sighed.
"……yes."
"Now I regard them as my most important family members."
"So, my miserable life finally has some value."
You don’t need to worry about that stinky old lolita lady, Master.
But only Xiang'er.
After all, I can only feel at ease when I see her happy and enjoying herself.
At least this time, that nightmare ending will never happen again.
"Speaking of which, I have something else I want to ask you."
Chen Yin suddenly turned his head and said seriously, "Have you heard of Changli Palace?"
Changli Palace? Shen Shuanglian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
...As expected, there is none. Chen Yin slowly closed his eyes again.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this Changli Palace?"
"No... If the eldest sister returns to the sect safely, please help me check in the main sect to see if there is any information related to Changli Hall."
Shen Shuanglian was about to nod, but then she turned around and frowned again, looking a little uneasy as she said, "Aren't you going with me?"
"I still have things to do."
Chen Yin rubbed her hair soothingly: "Take care of yourself first."
Shen Shuanglian lowered her head silently, biting her lips and saying nothing as if she was angry.
Chen Yin had no choice but to say softly: "Don't worry. It won't take long."
"I'll come find you when this is over."
She raised her wet eyes and nodded silently.
"Then the next step is to recover from the injury as quickly as possible."
Chen Yin stretched and looked at Shen Shuanglian with a smile.
Shen Shuanglian sighed silently, and there was a rare hint of resentment in her eyes, like a little girl.
"We are healing. Can you figure this out?"
"No problem, no problem."
"Don't play so extravagantly like you did yesterday."
"Good good."
“…Be gentle.”
"……rest assured."
-
Until almost evening.
Shen Shuanglian fell asleep in the cave exhausted, and Chen Yin put his clothes on her and walked out of the cave.
As the hazy moonlight lit up, Chen Yin stretched and flew towards the edge of the dangerous Tiantu area.
...Shen Shuanglian’s injury has almost healed.
Although I am a little reluctant to leave this peaceful place, I don’t have much time to waste.
Tiantu was dangerous and could not receive any information from the outside world, so Chen Yin could not guarantee Xiang'er's absolute safety. Therefore, he still needed to find Xiang'er as soon as possible so that he could feel at ease.
Therefore, Chen Yin planned to explore the way at night. If there was no danger, he could take Shen Shuanglian and leave this place tomorrow.
The journey was smoother than expected.
Basically, he didn't encounter any threatening creatures. In addition, this area was basically the territory of the purple-bearded thunder-mane tiger, so Chen Yin had a smooth journey.
After walking only a few dozen miles, Chen Yin suddenly stopped.
He sensed that there were several auras stirring not far away.
There seemed to be a battle going on.
Chen Yin immediately hid his body and ran quickly in that direction.
-
Under the moonlight, a purple-bearded thunder-maned tiger was lying on a rock, staring fiercely at the person in front of it with its tiger eyes and uttering threatening shouts from its mouth.
Opposite it, Yu Xiangsu held a sword in her hand, her beautiful eyes slightly wrinkled under her black veil.
"...It is indeed a dangerous place on the Heaven's Path. We have only been walking for a short time, and yet a beast of this level has come to inhabit it."
"You still have the mood to complain?" The system's voice resounded in my heart, "That's a spirit beast comparable to the Upper Pure Realm. Can you handle it now?"
"I've already told you, don't expect me to help you anymore. It's because you insisted on doing what you wanted and didn't follow the plot record that I have to take the punishment with you."
The system's voice actually sounded a little aggrieved.
Yu Xiang acted as if she didn't hear anything. She said coldly, "Don't play dumb. I don't believe you don't have a life-saving treasure."
"Take it out quickly. If I die, you won't be able to survive either."
"Fuck..." The system almost wanted to curse.
In this day and age, why do you have to be this shitty system when you can do anything else? You can't get any benefits, and you have to work like a slave and worship the host as an ancestor.
Is this justice?
But in the end, the system had no choice but to grit its teeth and said in a distressed tone:
"For the last time!! I'll just die!"
A lavender halo flowed on Yu Xiang's sword, and her hand holding the sword suddenly became heavy.
…It seemed as if this sword had the power to create the world.
The purple-bearded thunder-maned tiger seemed to sense something was wrong, as the sword suddenly emitted a breath that made it palpitate. It roared, and without hesitation, it swung its tiger claws straight at Xiang'er.
Yu Xiang also had a calm expression and stabbed the purple-bearded thunder-maned tiger in front of him with a sword.
But just before the sword was struck, an extremely abrupt cough suddenly rang out, directly breaking the tense atmosphere.
"Cough cough."
"I say, don't be so angry, let's talk it over nicely."
Yu Xiang's eyes suddenly widened. Under the moonlight, the man standing next to the purple-bearded thunder-maned tiger had a gentle face. He stroked the tiger's mane with a gentle smile, turned his head and smiled at her softly:
"We meet again."
"...Miss Yin."
(The recommendation failed. Good.)
(But I will still update tomorrow. I will add more chapters depending on my mood and the number of monthly votes.)
43. Apart from healing, I didn’t do anything
Under the moonlight, Chen Yin gently stroked the back of the purple-bearded thunder-mane tiger with one hand to calm it down, while his eyes were staring at the veiled Yu Xiang with a smile.
"We meet again, Miss Yin."
