Chapter 585 Come to Me
"how long?"
"Hmm... ten or eight years, I guess."
“Senior Brother Song!” Xu Youan glared at him.
Song Ziming quickly waved her hand: "Oh, oh, that's just how it is. Glaring at me won't help."
Xu Youan pursed her lips.
"Isn't there any other way? Senior sister... can't sleep for so long."
Song Ziming leaned closer curiously: "Why? Ten years is just a blink of an eye, it goes by very quickly."
Xu Youan's eyes darkened, and his fingers unconsciously and gently stroked her eyebrows and eyes.
He seemed to be laughing, yet he also seemed to be crying.
"Because I want my senior sister to see me again."
Song Ziming raised an eyebrow, not understanding.
However, he couldn't control what the young couple wanted to do. But he could give them a hint: "Junior Sister Jiang has a strong spiritual sense. If she can actively repair her spiritual platform with her consciousness, she might wake up in the next second, who knows?"
After saying that, he took out two pills and gave them to Jiang Liqian to swallow.
"I have important matters to attend to, as I am assisting in expelling demonic energy. I must take my leave now. If there are any further developments, please send me a message."
Xu Youan nodded, and impolitely did not see him off.
Song Ziming didn't pay any attention and disappeared through the door in the blink of an eye.
Xu Youan stared intently at Jiang Liqian's unconscious face, gently and restrainedly holding her right hand and pressing his forehead against her palm.
"Senior sister, please wake up. I don't want to see you sleeping like this."
"I'm scared, I'm really scared..."
He had seen her fall into his arms like this too many times, never to open her eyes again, leaving him alone in this vast world.
A world of deathly silence, a life of deathly silence, and a life of deathly silence.
"Sister..."
"Sister..."
-
In a hazy, gray dream, Jiang Liqian stumbled forward, the thick fog swirling before her eyes, obscuring her path. She could neither discern direction nor the seasons.
It's so quiet.
It was so quiet that she was all alone.
In the blurry light and shadow, she seemed to see many people, but they all flashed through her life like fleeting shadows. She tried to reach out and grab them, but she couldn't grasp anything.
She suddenly panicked, and in her panic, she couldn't help but start running.
She didn't know how long she had been running or where she had ended up. Suddenly, she stumbled and fell to the ground in a sorry state. When she painfully raised her head, she saw a tall and straight figure standing in the light and shadow in the distance.
The man stood at the boundary between light and darkness, his Taoist robe fluttering in the wind. With a corner gently lifted, one could see the rise and fall of countless lives in this mortal world.
He opened his mouth, then choked up.
She heard herself call his name.
"Master..."
With sadness, resentment, and bitterness... it all turned into a feeling of grievance.
"It hurts so much."
She's in so much pain.
She had stumbled and fallen so many times along the way, and her whole body was covered in bruises. She longed for her master to kneel down in front of her, reach out and touch her head, even if he didn't say a word, so that her heart wouldn't ache with such pain.
The person in the light and shadow seemed to have heard her voice, turning slightly to the side. Their icy, aloof eyes seemed to be looking at her, yet also seemed not to.
“Li’er”.
"Come see me."
She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.
She was suddenly thrown into Xu Youan's arms, a dull pain shooting through her forehead. Before she could even frown, a hand gently touched her forehead.
The junior brother's deep, anxious voice reached her ears: "Senior sister, did you get hurt?"
She blinked, and a sudden sharp pain shot through her mind.
She covered her head and rested in his arms for a long time before she could finally gather her thoughts.
"Ayou, take me to Sword Peak, I want to see the sect leader!"
"But your injuries are still..."
"I'm fine, I'm just a little weak right now, but I'll be fine soon. I have something important to ask the sect leader in person, Ayou, please don't ask anything else, just take me there, I have to go!"
Xu Youan took a deep breath of cool air.
His voice was hoarse as he nodded in agreement, "Okay."
He took out a warm cloak from his Qiankun bag, wrapped her up tightly, then picked her up horizontally and held her securely in his arms before flying towards the sword peak.
When the two landed in front of Linglong Pavilion, they ran into Song Ziming, who was coming out of it.
His face was grave, his expression solemn. When he came out, he had lost all the refined and easygoing demeanor of a cultivator, instead exuding a chilling aura. Upon seeing Xu You'an and Jiang Liqian in his arms, his gloomy aura vanished instantly, and he returned to his original state, smiling as he stepped forward to greet them.
"Oh, it seems my pills are working well. You woke up in just a short while. Your junior brother is planning to wait for you for ten years!"
Jiang Liqian forced a smile at him, then tugged at Xu Youan's sleeve, signaling him to put her down.
"I'll go in alone."
Xu Youan was the first to disagree: "Senior Sister!"
Song Ziming was also surprised: "Junior Sister Jiang, don't go crazy now. Something big has happened in the sect, and the sect leader is very troubled by this matter. Why are you going to see him now?"
Jiang Liqian's gaze was clear and firm as she gently pushed away Xu Youan's hand that was blocking her way.
"You don't need to wait for me to come out."
After saying that, she took a deep breath, used all her strength to stand firm, and walked step by step towards the towering, ice-carved, jade-like palace in the increasingly dim sunlight.
This time, she didn't even knock on the door. To the astonishment of Xu Youan and Song Ziming, she cleaved open the palace door with a single sword stroke.
With a deafening roar, her figure vanished into the twilight ashes.
"Senior Sister!" Xu You'an was terrified and instinctively wanted to chase after her, but a sudden burst of white light separated Linglong Pavilion from the wind and snow outside into two separate spaces. This pure and vast power was an insurmountable barrier for him.
He could only stand there blankly and watch.
Helpless, watching in vain.
Senior sister...
What exactly do you want to do?!
"Junior Brother Xu, don't worry. The sect leader values Junior Sister Jiang and will be very lenient with her. He won't make things difficult for her. You should listen to her and go back to Zhenfeng to wait for her."
"The sect is going through a turbulent time right now. You're a smart man, so you should have some idea why Danfeng is in such a mess. Staying here might just cause her trouble."
Song Ziming advised him.
Admittedly, he was also startled by Jiang Liqian's actions, but he trusted her character. Since she came to see the sect leader, and the sect leader clearly stated that no one else was allowed to enter, it was obvious that there was something they needed to resolve privately.
It's best to be sensible and not disobey the sect leader's will.
Having said all he could say, he couldn't offer any more advice. He patted Song Ziming on the shoulder and prepared to fly back to Danfeng on his sword.
Danfeng still has a lot of things to do!
"Senior Brother Song, if the Demon Clan invades the Tianqian Sect, can the sect withstand it?" Xu You'an, who had been keeping his eyes downcast and silent, leaning slumped against the barrier, suddenly asked him.
Song Ziming paused for a moment, thinking of the tragic state of Danfeng's blockade—her fingertips curled slightly: "We have no choice but to back down, do we?"
