557 - The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

# Healer Sister Has Given Up Chapter 557 Draped in a black robe and exuding an ominous aura, it was unmistakably You Gui, a veteran of the Ming Wang Hall. Bai Lian spread out her spiritual sense. With a quick investigation, she realized that You Gui's soul was already shattered and he could pass away at any time. Clearly, it was impossible to extract any useful information about Ming Wang Hall from him. "I found him at the foot of the mountain yesterday morning. I'm not really sure what happened at Ming Wang Hall," Qian Xue's voice reached Bai Lian's ear, "But I reckon there's been some internal strife. It's a long-standing tradition there." "…" Well, alright then. In her previous cooperation with Xue Zhan, Bai Lian had gathered from her ambiguous hints that someone from Ming Wang Hall had acted as a mole for Wu Hen Xue Valley. Who would have thought that as the pressure from Wu Hen Xue Valley dissipated, Ming Wang Hall would simply collapse entirely? That floating ice palace in the sky, although not the "throne" of Bei Lu Zhou, was still one of the supreme artifacts. Could a single traitor truly sink Ming Wang Hall? "Bai Lian Emperor, did you come here to help that child find her father?" Bai Lian responded to Qian Xue, "Indeed." Qian Xue walked over to a shelf. As she started taking items down, she said, "I haven't seen him in many years, but Bai Lian Emperor, don't worry, I have a way to find him." "Oh?" Qian Xue took out some tea leaves and a tea set. She invited Bai Lian to sit at a table in the backyard. "Please~" Bai Lian complied. Qian Xue gracefully began to brew tea. To be honest, in Bai Lian's eyes, whose tea-making skills were very advanced, it wasn't impressive. Yet she patiently waited for Qian Xue's next move. A last-minute preparation is always better than charging ahead blindly. Qian Xue began her story, "Twenty-three years ago, after the battle at Hatred Water Valley, he lost to the ever-brilliant Xue Ling Zhu. After narrowly escaping, stricken with the Dust and Snow Curse from Xue Ling Zhu, he was found grievously injured and close to death around this very mountain..." In the end, it was during a stroll that Qian Xue discovered the severely injured Ming Wang Dian Zhu. How could one describe human affairs in just a few words? To sum it up. Over time, Qian Xue and Ming Wang Dian Zhu developed feelings for each other. Dry wood and wildfire, easy to ignite. Yet, no bond could weigh more in his heart than Ming Wang Hall. Eventually, he still left. Returning to Ming Wang Hall, and was gone for twenty-three years. "He never really got rid of the Dust and Snow Curse. It was a curse seal left by Xue Ling Zhu with all his life force. It's not something that can be easily dissolved." Bai Lian nodded gently. That Xue Ling Zhu was not Xue Zhan, but her mother—an extraordinarily powerful figure in every sense. "And you…?" Qian Xue poured the red tea and said, "I used my own body as a vessel, secretly linked with his soul, and transferred the curse seal of the Dust and Snow Curse onto myself." Oh my! Bai Lian was astounded. How are you still alive? With her Liuli heart fortifying her, her face showed no signs of emotion. Yet Qian Xue seemed to possess mind-reading abilities. "In fact, I'm already dead. Otherwise, how could I have left Yao'er behind?" "I… couldn't tell." Bai Lian's mouth hung open. No matter how she probed, even stretching her consciousness like tendrils into Qian Xue's body, Qian Xue still appeared to be a normal human. Qian Xue sipped her tea and smiled, "By a stroke of fortune, I became a mountain spirit. This mountain is me, and I am this mountain. I can never leave here again." Is this one of the world's wonders? The further Bai Lian ventured out, the more she felt her knowledge was lacking. She could only continue sipping tea. "Now I'll remove the soul lock for you, and then you can find him. But it will take some time." Qian Xue said, "Bai Lian Emperor, if you don't mind, why not chat with me for a while?" "Okay." Bai Lian nodded and began discussing Tong Yao's life at Duxian Sect. After all, in front of Tong Yao's mother, she only spoke of the good things. The tales of the alcoholic loli, the rumor mill leader, and how she misled fellow disciples didn’t exist. The Tong Yao Qian Xue knew was cute, brave, strong, upright, kind, and responsible. "It's just that she's a bit impulsive at times." Towards the end, Bai Lian even added a "flaw" for Tong Yao. Otherwise, even a mother wouldn't believe her child to be perfect. Just as Bai Lian never saw her sister and master as flawless. They all had their shortcomings. But these flaws made them seem human, not emotionless gods. "I wish to see her with my own eyes." Qian Xue sighed. She clasped her cup with both hands, her brows furrowed. Bai Lian smiled, "That's certainly possible. Once this matter is resolved, I'll bring her to meet you. Right, let me show you what she looked like when she was young first." Bai Lian conjured a water screen. On the water screen was Tong Yao's radiant smile, along with her determined expression after having her hair pulled by her second sister. Ah. "I feel relieved." Suddenly, Bai Lian noticed an enchanting allure emanating from Qian Xue. No wonder Ming Wang Dian Zhu fell in love. Bai Lian's curiosity was piqued. The steam from the teacup made Bai Lian's eyes sparkle. "Senior Qian Xue, what did you like about Ming Wang Dian Zhu?" "Why is Bai Lian Emperor interested in such matters?" Qian Xue seemed slightly surprised, but after observing Bai Lian for a while, she smiled knowingly. This world's wonders are such that... Even goddesses fall in love. (づ￣3￣)づ╭?～ "He, huh..." Qian Xue rested her left cheek in her hand, her snowy eyelashes fluttered, and her icy blue eyes gradually "melted." "Though I often hold a grudge against him for leaving me, if I had to say why I liked him, I suppose it was his earnestness." Twenty-three years ago. In the snow. A small cabin. A hearth burning. A dream of leading Ming Wang Hall to the pinnacle of the world touched a young girl cultivating in the mountains. "I should have foreseen our separation." Qian Xue sighed softly. The song of ice and fire rarely ends well! Bai Lian took another sip of tea. They say the soul of the tea maker is in the brew. That essence, is it this subtle bitterness? As she pondered this, Qian Xue suddenly asked, "What about you, Bai Lian Emperor?" "Eh?" Taken by surprise, Bai Lian was caught off guard. She was defenseless. "I…" Her flustered expression was briefly visible, but quickly masked by her Liuli heart and spells controlling her facial expressions. Of course, Qian Xue could see through it. Moreover, she seemed completely unafraid of an "Emperor." Her eyes were even brighter than Bai Lian's moments ago. Bai Lian gave herself two choices. One: Answer honestly. Two: Evade the question. Neither option came with a reward. And this time, she embraced the tradition of "Courageous Bai Lian." The Bai Lian of today won't back down! "I..." Bai Lian tapped her index fingers against the teacup, "I like the way she's awkward when she cares about me." Clearly saying 'no' with her mouth. But inside, she's warm. Just a touch, and it's all laid bare. If her master had been an honest, magnanimous person, she would probably only feel respect for her. Even if she had the heart of a rogue, she wouldn't dare take that step to cross the line. So, you see. It was meant to be! At the right time, meeting the right person, walking together on the right path, finally reaching the end together! Just like that. The palpable influence from Bai Lian was intoxicating. Simply observing Qian Xue felt like plunging into a "River of Heat."
