Chapter 23 Bai Lian’s Plan For Peace

Third level of Qi Refinement.

But this was only the beginning.

Xiao Jinse could feel that there was still some medicinal power in her body. If she could refine this medicinal power, her strength could increase a lot.

Sensing these changes, a blissful smile appeared on the girl’s face.

When she was still in the Xiao family, she had imagined her future countless times.

Perhaps she would die on a rainy night where no one cried for her.

Perhaps she would find an opportunity to escape the Xiao family and live a muddled life.

Perhaps she would suddenly encounter a fortuitous encounter one day and become a genius whose name would shake the East God Province.

However, she had never thought that someone would dote on her like a daughter. This kind of feeling was something she had never dreamed of.

Now, such an opportunity had descended.

It was like an angel had descended beside her!

Xiao Jinse changed into a brand new Qiong Ming Peak Daoist robe and walked out of the small courtyard.

Under the crooked tree, she saw Senior Sister Bai sitting on the green stone with her hands behind her back.

Under the hazy moonlight.

Senior Sister Bai’s body seemed to be surrounded by a halo that was both real and illusory.

The saints in the cultivation world referred to people who were favored by the Great Dao, and the so-called natural saints referred to people born according to the luck of the Great Dao.

His or her cultivation aptitude might not necessarily be outstanding, but his or her comprehension was enough to make an immortal blush.

However, at this moment, Xiao Jinse preferred to use another explanation to describe Bai Lian…

A person who knew everything and was extremely kind!

Although the other party was her senior sister, this was nothing more than a title in the cultivation world. There was clearly no deeper entanglement between them, but Senior Sister Bai treated her with sincerity.

Xiao Jinse could tell that when Senior Sister Bai was repairing her crippled spiritual root and raising the level of her Spiritual Root, her deep eyes that were as deep as the starry sky didn’t contain any impurities.

How touching!

The girl sat down beside Bai Lian.

Bai Lian, who had long sensed the commotion behind her, smiled and said, “You’re awake. Looks like your cultivation level has improved a lot.”

A cold wind blew, and now she had completely calmed down.

It wasn’t easy.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had prepared pills to calm her mind in advance, she might have already made a huge mistake just now and violently forced herself on Second Junior Sister.

Xiao Jinse hurriedly said, “It’s all thanks to Senior Sister helping me cultivate!”

“Rest well these few days.”

“I understand.”

The two fell silent on the green stone again.

Bai Lian was thinking about where to help Xiao Jinse find the second fire-element spiritual herb to increase the quality of her spiritual root.

Xiao Jinse was conflicted.

After hesitating for a long time, she couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Sister, why are you so good to me?”

As Bai Lian expected, the system popped up with more mission options.

[Mission 1: “Because I like you. Junior Sister, let’s become Dao partners!” (Mission Reward: Cultivation breakthrough to the mid-stage Golden Core Realm)]

[Mission 2: “Because you’re my junior sister!” (Mission Reward: Glass Heart)]

Bai Lian fell into a daze.

Wait!

There was something wrong with this mission.

She wasn’t stupid. She was extremely certain that if the system had the ability to detect favorability, Xiao Jinse’s favorability would definitely be at the level where she could directly confess.

Even if her confession was rejected, it wouldn’t affect their relationship, giving her a mission reward that could allow her to directly break through to the mid-stage Golden Core realm.

Mission two was also problematic.

It was clearly a very ordinary sentence, but the reward was actually not attribute points.

Could it be that the system gave up evil and decided to compensate her well?

The vigilant Bai Lian didn’t believe that such a good thing would happen.

Since it wasn’t going to reward her, it meant that the system was preparing to increase its persecution of her. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have come up with such a strange mission.

In fact, ever since she met Yan Yue, Bai Lian had realized that the system’s missions were different from before.

Earlier, she had chosen mission two and spoke up for Xiao Jinse. Logically speaking, this should have angered Yan Yue.

But in fact, Yan Yue didn’t say much the whole time. She almost didn’t look angry at her. It looked like the system had given the reward to her for nothing.

After that, Yan Yue reprimanded her disciple. The system popped up another mission. Bai Lian obtained a new spell (Butterfly Dance on the Mountain) after completing the mission.

These two missions were completed too smoothly.

It was so smooth that Bai Lian felt that she was very capable. The system was only so-so.

Now that she thought about it, there must be a “scheme”.

Details determined success or failure!

Bai Lian secretly admired her analytical ability. She gently wiped the sweat that seeped out of her forehead and decided to stabilize herself first. She didn’t want to be tricked by the system on the spot.

She would choose Mission 2.

Damn.

After choosing, Bai Lian couldn’t help but curse in her heart.

She regretted it now.

Because she was focused on fast-forwarding to Emperor Wei Wen’s plot when playing the game, she knew about the pain points and experience of the romanceable characters, but she didn’t understand their personalities at all. She only knew their general life trajectory.

Damn.

If only she had listened to her senior…

“Romance games are all about the plot!”

Bai Lian looked at the full moon hanging high above her head calmly and said, “Because you’re my junior sister.”

As expected.

Xiao Jinse expected Senior Sister Bai to answer like this, but she just wanted to hear Senior Sister Bai say it herself. The feeling of her dream coming true was refreshing.

[Mission completed. Mission reward: Glass Heart]

With the Glass Heart, Bai Lian was even more proficient in pretending to be as immovable as a mountain, but she was not happy at all. Who knew when the danger would arrive?

At this moment, she had a plan and hurriedly changed the topic. “Junior Sister, the Immortal Ascension Assembly is about to end. In a month, there will be a competition between the new disciples who have just entered the sect. If you want to get first place, that’s a good opportunity for you to show off!”

Bai Lian planned to use this battle to let Xiao Jinse regain the feeling of being the protagonist!

After this Second Junior Sister completely adapted to her role as the protagonist, she could handle things on her own. This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about the system, this little schemer who harmed people.

It could really be said to be a pity for the world!

Great!

Xiao Jinse’s confidence was clearly lacking. “But Senior Sister, I’ve just started cultivating. I’m afraid…”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of!” Bai Lian said firmly. “Junior Sister, I’m here!”

“Yes!”

These words made Xiao Jinse’s restless heart instantly calm down.

Yes, with Senior Sister Bai around, what was there to be afraid of!

In order to not let Senior Sister Bai down, she had to cultivate hard in the next month.

In this long night, Xiao Jinse gently leaned on Bai Lian’s shoulder and admired the moon for the night.

On the ninth day of the new year, An Lan, who had been strolling outside for the past ten days, returned.

It was unknown where she got the news from. Just as she stepped into the sect, she ran aggressively to Zhu Yan Peak to find trouble.

Bai Lian could hear the commotion from afar.

In the end, it was the sect master who mediated and prevented the two of them from fighting

On Qiong Ming Peak, Xiao Jinse looked at the winding stone steps nervously. She was about to see her master.
