After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 139 Threat

Although she didn't know the reason, since the Immortal Master Qingzhi could personally set up the ban, it must not be a trivial matter.

She doesn't want to get involved in this mess.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueming responded to her rejection very calmly, as if he knew she would not listen to him obediently.

With an ambiguous smile in the corner of his eyes, he leaned lazily against a stone pillar and looked her up and down.

Then he spoke softly.

"Jiang Liqian, I know that you are a smart person.

"And a brilliant man with an unusual secret."

After saying that, he didn't give Jiang Liqian any chance to speak. He waved his sleeve and two images appeared in the air.

One shows her using the Five Elements Magic to save Xu Youan in the Thousand Faces Box and skillfully using the Soul-Suppressing Pearl to break the stone formation. The other shows her using moonlight to weave a soul sword, and touching the soul sword, but the soul sword abandons her.

Frame by frame, the calmness, composure, astonishment and sadness in her eyes were all clearly displayed in front of the two of them.

Irrefutable.

Can't explain.

Silent silence.

"Are you threatening me?" After a moment, Jiang Liqian forced a smile.

Sarcastic and self-deprecating.

Sure enough, how could a reborn person not reveal flaws?

She is still too naive.

"You can think so." Jiang Yueming lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was looking at. His tone was cold and gentle, and he was extremely calm, as if he was sure that she would do as he wished.

In fact, this is true.

If it was when she was just reborn, Jiang Liqian would definitely not care about it. Threats, intimidation, killing, sword fights... she would not care.

At worst, I can just die.

She couldn't find any meaning in her rebirth at all.

But now——

She knew clearly that she didn't want to.

I don’t know when I started to hesitate, to struggle, and to want to live. That fleeting thought was like a spark that set the whole prairie on fire.

Master, eldest senior brother, second senior brother, third senior sister, Shui Lianer, Qin Beiyao, godmother... and her younger junior brother.

Some people were silently engraved in her heart, even if she had resisted and hated them.

Fetters are shackles on your feet.

Every step leaves a mark, and perhaps it will always be accompanied by blood.

She didn't know whether she would go back to the same path as in her previous life, but if she didn't take this step, at least the ending would be the same as in her previous life.

Nothing can be changed.

She is not reconciled.

She was really unwilling.

She could never be like the Immortal Master Qingzhi, who was ruthless, desireless, and had no demands or concerns.

Perhaps, she really is a disciple who can only disappoint Immortal Master Qingzhi.

There are too many things she can't get, so there are too many things she wants to get.

She couldn't and wouldn't allow anyone to destroy her peaceful life.

“Okay, I’ll help you.

"But I dare to hope that Master Zhai can also understand one thing: threatening once is enough, but if you do it again and again, even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry."

After saying that, she clenched the photo beads in her hand and stepped into the mist without looking back.

Jiang Yueming narrowed his eyes slightly.

Suddenly he laughed out of anger.

Rabbit?

Maybe it's a lion that is holding back and not wanting to show its claws?

-

Through the thin mist, you can see the endless lake.

The lake water is clear and cool, but not chilly. The colorful rocks reflect the ripples, like a flowing rainbow winding between heaven and earth.

Crescent Lake is crescent-shaped, but once you step into the lake, you can feel how big it is. At a glance, you can't see the edge at all. There are only scattered reefs throughout the lake, like a few stars scattered by God.

At this moment, all the disciples who entered the forbidden area were standing on the reef in twos and threes. Jiang Liqian glanced over there and saw Shui Lian'er waving at her. Qin Beiyao was standing beside her and also looking over here.

Without hesitation, she touched the water surface with her toes and flew over.

"I thought Master Zhai was going to make things difficult for you again. I wanted to accompany you to collect the spirit sword, but Master Zhai issued a death order, forbidding anyone to accompany you. I was worried about that. Fortunately, you came here safely." Shui Lian'er started talking in a series of words as soon as she saw Jiang Liqian.

Jiang Liqian felt warmth rising in her heart and couldn't help but take a step forward and hug her gently.

Such a sudden action made Shui Lian'er stunned.

After a long while, she finally said blankly, "Li Qian, you don't have a high fever, do you?"

Jiang Liqian chuckled, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sister, can't I hug you?"

Shui Lian'er's face quickly turned a light red, and her whole body was as stiff as a stone sculpture, not daring to move.

What, what's going on?

Why is her heart beating so fast?

What's going on? Why is Li Qian suddenly so proactive? Did she take...the wrong medicine?

"Stop teasing her. It's almost nightfall. Moon bugs only appear at night. We have to be prepared." Qin Beiyao coughed heavily for some unknown reason, interrupting the inexplicable atmosphere between the two.

Jiang Liqian raised an eyebrow at him.

Qin Beiyao immediately looked away and pretended to look at the sky and the moon as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, Jiang Liqian, so you were teasing me on purpose!" Shui Lian'er pounced on Jiang Liqian angrily and tickled her.

Jiang Liqian fled in a hurry and rolled over onto another reef.

Just as Shui Lian'er was about to chase, the entire sky suddenly fell into the dark night from the evening glow. Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if a layer of pitch-black oilcloth was covering, and not a single light could penetrate.

Some disciples lit up talisman paper for lighting, while others took out their own night-shining stones... After a while, the reefs were lit up with tiny dots of light.

Qin Beiyao took out a stack of lighting talisman papers and burned seven or eight of them at once as if he didn't need any spirit stones. The surrounding lake water instantly became clearly visible.

Shui Lian'er stopped arguing with Jiang Liqian, and the two of them immediately gathered around Qin Beiyao.

"Come to think of it, I don't even know what the moonworm looks like. What if I catch the wrong one?" Shui Lian'er said.

Jiang Liqian didn't even think twice and told her directly, "The Moonworm lives in the forbidden Crescent Lake. It's shaped like a crescent moon, one inch long, with two black shrimp-like antennae on its head. They're white in color, can dive and fly, but don't have wings, so they're easy to identify."

Shui Lian'er, already accustomed to her erudition, pressed on, "Then how do we catch it? Will it hurt anyone?"

Jiang Liqian squatted down, brushed the water surface with her fingers, and her eyes were filled with worry.

The moon bug is not aggressive and can even be described as gentle. Even if someone steps on it, it won't make a sound.

but……

“It’s not easy to catch.”

Things in the forbidden area cannot be simple.

The moonworm is born in water and grows under the moonlight. As long as the moonlight falls, it will emerge from the water and swim in the moonlight like a fish.
