Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 111 A Trip to Penglai (4)

"You're here."

Li Yue came up carrying a lamp: "I've been looking for you for ages."

Luo Zai Shui tilted her head back, staring intently at the starry sky.

Li Yue ignored Luo Zai Shui's attitude and sat down next to her.

What are you thinking about?

Li Yue poked her cheek and inexplicably felt that she had lost a lot of weight.

After a long pause, Luo Zai Shui replied, "Calm your mind."

Li Yue leaned closer and said with a grin, "So, have you calmed down yet?"

Luo Zai Shui lowered her eyes and said calmly, "No."

Li Yue massaged her shoulders: "You're just too tired. Take a break for a while. Once you've rested, you'll naturally be able to calm down."

Luo Zai Shui hugged her head, buried herself in her knees, and said in a muffled voice, "I can't calm down."

Li Yue wanted to comfort her, but didn't know where to begin. The pressure she had been under lately was immense, and she really needed some peace and quiet.

She simply sat down with her and they looked at the stars together.

“Do you know? When I was very young, my maternal grandmother took care of me.” Li Yue hugged her knees, a faint smile on her face. “Back then, my grandmother would hold me like this and count the stars in the sky with me.”

She gently put her arm around Luo Zai Shui's shoulder, rocked him gently, and tapped her feet: "I fell asleep while counting. Time passed so slowly back then. I looked forward to nightfall every day. When it got dark, I could count the stars. After counting the stars, I would teleport to my bed."

Luo remained still in the water, simply listening quietly.

“I’m telling you my past story, you should at least give me some reaction.” Although Li Yue was dissatisfied, her hands continued to move. “Later, my grandmother passed away, and I can no longer teleport.”

Luo Zai Shui raised her head and said calmly, "Separation by death is something that cannot be avoided in life. Please accept my condolences."

Li Yue was a little annoyed: "I didn't ask you to comfort me, I just wanted you to relax."

Luo Zai Shui forced a smile: "Who would say that their past sad stories are easy to bear?"

“Let me think.” Li Yue stroked her chin. “I’ve got it. When I took the college entrance exam, my mom was so worried. She even controlled her loud voice. As soon as I finished the exam, my mom came to settle the score with me. The boy I had a crush on was there. It was so embarrassing.”

After Li Yue finished laughing, Luo Zai Shui remained silent.

It’s over.

Forget about the person in front of you who lost both parents at birth.

Isn't this just rubbing salt into someone's wound?

It's over.

Fortunately, Luo Zai Shui smiled politely.

"You should go back first. I'll stay here for a while and then go back."

Luo Zai Shui really had no interest in chatting with Li Yue.

“No way.” Li Yue persisted. “I’ve told you so much, you should tell me a couple of your stories from before.”

Luo Zai Shui's eyes twitched: "You created me, what happened to me, you don't know?"

“No.” Li Yue took her arm. “I believe now that you are real. Everything that happened to you is real. You are flesh and blood, with your own stories. So now I want to understand the past you. You are not a character I briefly mentioned in my writing. You are a living person, you are vibrant, you are my friend.”

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Luo Zai Shui had no choice but to speak up: "Then let me tell you about my senior sister."

“I remember Senior Sister Ji brought me to Penglai once because she heard that Penglai had all kinds of talented people and all kinds of miraculous medicines, so she brought me here without thinking twice.”

Luo Zai Shui gave a bitter smile: "She was just worried and confused. If there really was a way to cure my illness, my master and the others would have found a way to get it long ago. But she still brought me here without telling my master and the others. She said at the time, what if, what if we really encountered it? This one in ten thousand possibility made her willing to disregard the dangers and bring me to the island."

"The result was predictable." The image of Senior Sister Ji in my memory was becoming increasingly blurry, and I could only vaguely remember her voice. "We were unfamiliar with the place and suffered a lot of losses on the island. We either encountered eccentric hermits or spiritual herbs that had become sentient. In just a few days, we were in a terrible state."

"Fortunately, my master and the others knew that we had come to Penglai Island, and wrote a letter to the Pavilion Master of Penglai Pavilion overnight to ask him to help take care of us."

Thinking of this, Luo Zai Shui couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth: "The first time the Pavilion Master of Penglai Pavilion saw me, he asserted that I was destined to be short-lived and unlucky. This angered my senior sister so much that she argued with him regardless of rank. The Pavilion Master of Penglai Pavilion was also a rigid person and insisted that he was right. This angered my senior sister so much that she burned his beard."

Hearing this, Li Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Your senior sister is really a person of character."

Luo Zai Shui's smile suddenly froze: "She shouldn't have died in the sect competition, nor should she have died in the mouth of a demon beast."

Li Yue's smile vanished: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reminded you of these things."

Luo Zai Shui shook her head: "My senior brother and I were both raised by Senior Sister Ji. I remember all of this, not because of hatred, but because I truly respect and love her. I hope that one day in the future, when I tell these stories to others, they can piece together a complete picture of Ji Yun. So, I will always remember these things, whether they are bitter or tearful."

Li Yue patted her shoulder: "I understand, and I will always remember my grandmother."

A shooting star streaked across the sky, and Luo Zai Shui's eyes flickered slightly: "Senior Sister also accompanied us to watch the stars back then, and I also took Ting Han and the others to appreciate the stars and make divinations."

Luo Zai Shui seemed to have calmed down considerably.

She is a person with a strong core; no matter what happens, she can adjust in the shortest amount of time.

That's how it is now.

Li Yue didn't know why her emotions suddenly calmed down. If Xue Xin were standing here, he would probably be amazed that his senior sister had actually had an epiphany.

With each breath, the pent-up frustration in my heart was exhaled, and I regained my peace.

I shouldn't wallow in self-pity.

Since God has given me a chance to overturn the old plan and start over, I should hold on to it tightly.

Time waits for no one, and opportunity knocks but once.

Wu Si has made so many efforts over the years without stopping, so how can she, as the senior sister, not take the lead?

Luo Zai Shui looked at the communication jade tablet in her hand. These days, Su Wu Si had not sent any bad news, only telling her not to worry.

But upon closer reflection, how could nothing have happened? They were just putting on a brave face.

She needs to act faster.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Luo Zai Shui suddenly became full of energy, leaving Li Yue completely bewildered.

Luo Zai Shui was visibly more relaxed: "Go cultivate."

"Have you calmed down?"

Luo Zai Shui shrugged, a smile playing on her lips: "I don't know, but if it's Senior Sister Ji, she's already started cultivating."
