Chapter 207 Anyone is fine, don't hurt her
The brook gurgled, carrying the chill of the night. The twinkling stars in the sky fell into the water, crystal clear and yet out of reach.
Qin Beiyao drank the water and stopped.
After a while, he said: "Li Qian, anyone is fine, just don't hurt her."
She paused in washing her hands, slowly lowered her eyes, and stared at the broken stars in the stream.
The voice was cold and slow: "I don't have it."
Qin Beiyao curled his lips and looked up at the lush vegetation in the distance.
"Really? Jiang Liqian.
"You didn't think Lian'er and I would come back to save you, did you?"
A sharp rock by the stream scratched her fingertips, but she didn't even frown as she defended herself, "I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just out of reach. In that situation, I couldn't protect her or you. Letting you leave first was the best option."
"If that's the case, why did you send Lian'er the message: leave immediately, seek help, and return to rescue her?"
She pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
Qin Beiyao mercilessly exposed her: "Because you know, if you just ask Lian'er to save her life and escape, she will definitely not agree. Because you are still there, she will definitely not abandon you and only care about her own life. But if you ask her to call for help to save you, she will definitely not hesitate."
"You know her, but she doesn't know you well enough."
Closing her eyes gently, she lowered her voice: "What exactly do you mean? Are you trying to sow discord?"
Qin Beiyao shook his head, but took out a handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms from his storage bag and handed it to her.
The bleeding fingertips reflected the snow-white handkerchief, and suddenly a cluster of red plum blossoms bloomed.
Qin Beiyao looked down at her.
"Li Qian, I don't understand why you are so wary.
"Is it really okay for you to keep doing this?"
"You're already very strong, the strongest among us, but... you're still afraid. You're afraid that others will get hurt because of you, that they'll blame you, resent you. You're afraid that you'll be criticized and punished by your master. You're afraid of bearing the consequences of others' actions, and you're afraid that your own karma will affect others... If this is what you call 'nothing,' then I don't think you'll ever understand what 'trusting a friend' means."
After saying that, he turned around and went back with a few bags of water.
Only Jiang Liqian was left sitting by the stream, lost in thought.
For a long, long time, she didn't move.
On the other side, Ye Anan had just prepared herself mentally and told Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao, who had just returned from fetching water, about her particular trip to look for the Ben Xin Mirror. She sincerely thanked them and promised to go to the Discipline Hall to receive punishment upon her return.
She spoke seriously, but Shui Lian'er cut off a piece of roasted rabbit meat, sprinkled seasoning on it and handed it to her.
Ye Anan was a little embarrassed to answer, so Shui Lian'er patted her shoulder generously.
"I thought it was a big deal. Seeing how serious you look, it's just a matter of choosing a path. We all came to the secret realm to hunt for treasure, so it doesn't matter where we go." She blinked and smiled. "Besides, we got so many spirit crystals, it's a big haul. With spirit crystals, there's nothing we can't buy."
Qin Beiyao sat down next to Shui Lian'er and tried to comfort her: "There's no need for the Discipline Hall. Let's just be good friends next time and share everything we know."
Ye Anan looked at the two of them, and her eyes unconsciously became moist. She quickly turned her head and wiped her eyes, choking with a "hmm".
"Eat it quickly, eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold!"
"……it is good."
Shui Lian'er excitedly tore off a large piece of leg meat. Before she even looked up, she shouted, "Li Qian, this is yours. Take it!"
However, no one responded for a long time after she finished speaking. She looked up in confusion and found that Jiang Liqian did not come back with Qin Beiyao.
She looked at the people around her in confusion: "Where's Xiaodouya? Didn't we go fetch water together?"
Qin Beiyao remained calm, snatched the piece of rabbit leg from her hand, opened his mouth and started to bite it.
"Wash her face. She feels her face is dirty..."
ha?
Shui Lian'er was full of questions.
However, she still left a large piece of spirit rabbit meat for Jiang Liqian to eat when she came back.
There is a reason why Shennong Domain is famous throughout the world. Although Jiang Liqian and his group wasted a lot of time at the Benxin Mirror, they also gained a lot, especially various rare spiritual plants.
Of course, they encountered many dangers. The first and second level monsters were still okay, but they also encountered a fifth level tiger monster. They were chased all the way and suddenly fell into a stinky ditch. In the end, the tiger monster thought they were too smelly and couldn't eat them, so it stopped chasing them.
Along the way, he also met fellow disciples and disciples of the Jishen Sect. Everyone said hello and went their separate ways. However, when he met Yun Ruyi and his group from the same sect, Jiang Liqian didn't say a word the whole time.
Although, she didn't communicate much with people from other teams.
When there were still two days left before the end of the secret realm, the few of them returned to the starting point as agreed.
At this time, all the disciples of the Jishen Sect had returned, and most of the people in their sect had also returned.
Everyone had some injuries on their bodies, so when everyone arrived, they all meditated and recuperated.
When Jiang Liqian closed her eyes to rest, she could always feel a gaze falling on her face. She ignored it and pretended not to know.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Junze, who was leaning against the stone wall with a sword in his arms, opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
He planned to send the news of finding his younger sister back home after leaving the secret realm, and ask his parents to come and pick her up.
It was normal for my younger sister to be a stranger to him since she had been away from home for many years. He shouldn't have been so aggressive before. He must have scared the little girl.
After everyone arrived, we set off for Baicao Valley together.
Baicao Valley is located in the south of Shennong Domain, where there is a lot of water. Jiang Junze simply released the fairy boat and let all the disciples of his sect and the Jishen Sect get on it and travel by water.
The fairy boat floated in the water, cutting through the water chestnuts and duckweed along the way. One of the disciples suddenly had an idea, so he found a special bamboo pole and fishing line, sat beside the fairy boat and started fishing.
Several people gathered around, chattering about whether the boat could catch fish at such a fast speed. As they discussed, they started setting up a table to bet on spirit stones.
Most of the female cultivators leaned against the fairy boat, chatting in groups of three or four and enjoying the beautiful scenery on the water.
The scene looks pleasant, but it is actually fraught with danger. Although everyone is having fun and making noise, they are still alert to their surroundings. They draw their swords several times and kill the monsters that want to attack the fairy boat.
However, the defense of the immortal boat itself was strong enough, and no one was injured along the way.
Jiang Liqian was originally hiding in the room to relax, but Ye Anan couldn't bear to see her like this, so she dragged her out to fight the monster.
They did not go deep into the swamp, and the monsters they encountered were not too strong. The two of them collected a bag of monster pills.
Ye Anan naturally gave them all to the little phoenix as snacks. Jiang Liqian had no interest in low-level demon pills, but fortunately she also had a spiritual pet to raise, so she let the little golden peach out.
