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

Chapter 595 Little Moon

Xu Youan raised his eyes, a mixture of anger and icy coldness flashing in them: "They'll never come back, what's the difference between them and death?"

"Are you really that angry?" With her golden hair flowing and her black hair tied up high, Ji Yan turned around, finally turning her gaze away from the direction of Qimingzhai.

At this point, all his plans had succeeded.

The plan was to capture the young master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and through various "coincidences," learn about the sacrificial list of the God-Demon Sealing Array. They also obtained the golden key to open the entrance to the Outer Realm. Now, the seal on the entrance to the Outer Realm has been almost destroyed by the pawns planted by the Heavenly Qian Sect. The next step is to completely invade this small world, find the sealing array, destroy the seal, release their father and the others, and turn this place into a "paradise" where they can reproduce and continue their lineage.

Although he didn't know why the sect leader of the Tianqian Sect would so readily reveal the location of the entrance to the Outer Realm, he knew he could find it even without him. He no longer wanted to think about it; achieving his goal was all that mattered.

He was utterly weary of the scheming and plotting that had taken place over the past five hundred years.

“If you’re truly enraged, you should draw your sword and point it at my heart,” he said.

Xu Youan clenched his fists tightly, his whole body tense.

He never expected that he was the one orchestrating this. If he had known, he would never have given him a chance to get close to his senior sister, and perhaps his second and third senior brothers wouldn't have...

"How exactly did you control Second Senior Brother? How did he become your puppet?"

Ji Yan smiled, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes.

"How can you say that we controlled him? He was created by my own people."

The Fu family had been without an heir for many years and was on the verge of extinction. It was because he had people use rare and precious materials to recreate the ancient goddess Nuwa's creation of humans, creating Fu Wennian's physical body and placing him in the womb of the Fu family head's wife to grow up.

The Fu family is a first-class family in the cultivation world. Who would doubt that the young master of the family has entered the Tianqian Sect?

Fu Wennian's fate was sealed from the moment he was created, destined for destruction on this day.

It's not right to say it's sad; it's his fate.

Xu Youan was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and at the same time felt infinite sorrow.

If the second senior brother's fate was predetermined, then what about him? Wasn't he, like countless other living beings in this world, also a "puppet" created by the Heavenly Dao? Were their fates predetermined from the very beginning?

Is it like an ant trying to shake a tree when ordinary people try to resist the erosion of fate?

Will he succeed?

He took a deep breath of cold air, deciding not to waste any more time on this nonsense; his fate was not for him to decide.

"Ji Yan, after all these years of scheming, have you forgotten your old friends? I've come to find you not for myself, but for someone from your past."

After saying that, he took off the ring from his finger in front of him and tossed it gently into the air.

The ring shook violently, and then a girl shrouded in black gauze emerged from it. Her figure was slender and graceful, her aura cold and distant, and her face was obscured by the veil, making it difficult to see clearly. Only a seven-colored, shimmering jade pendant hung at her waist, like the only bright spot in the world.

Ji Yan, who had been looking weary, froze on the spot the moment his gaze fell on the girl. When his peripheral vision caught sight of the divine bird jade at her waist, it was as if his soul had been ripped out in an instant. He stood there, frozen, as if he couldn't even breathe.

He stared blankly at the girl's face behind the veil, his eyes unexpectedly reddening completely, and in contrast, his face turned deathly pale.

He opened and closed his mouth, but after a long while, he still couldn't call out the other person's name.

Only when the cold wind kept blowing into his mouth, and he tasted the chill of early winter ice once again, did he murmur as if waking from a dream: "Is it you...?"

Lost in thought, he couldn't help but stagger forward, raising his hand to touch the girl's warm face. The next second, a slender hand pierced his heart, and the tears that had been welling up in his eyes rolled down instantly. The bitterness made his tongue numb, and his heart shattered.

Bright red blood flowed down, staining his clothes, and his icy fingertips finally touched her still-warm face.

"...Little Yue'er..."

The girl glared at him fiercely, then pushed her finger, which was already piercing his heart, in even deeper, cruelly squeezing his beating heart.

The light in his eyes dimmed sadly with each tear, as if the last spark of his heart had been extinguished by cruel reality.

A bitter smile slowly crept onto his lips. He lowered his eyes, but his fingertips couldn't bear to leave her: "...You shouldn't have come. This place isn't right..."

"Is that so?" The girl laughed, tears streaming down her face. Her fingers slowly tightened, her expression contorted as she relished his current state of pained groaning. "So you didn't come so you could enjoy yourself here, is that it?"

"Ji Yan, don't forget, we have a blood feud between us. You betrayed me, and we will fight to the death. No matter where you are, it will be either you or me!"

Ji Yan was in so much pain that his breath caught in his throat, and he could no longer hold on, so he suddenly knelt down.

Xuan Yue showed no mercy and pretended to rip out his heart to see if it was truly the darkest and dirtiest thing in the world!

However, before she could finish her move, a hurricane suddenly struck from the south. Blinded by hatred, she had no time to dodge and was swept into the air.

The wind was so strong it blinded people, as if it would tear them apart.

Ji Yan was shocked and, disregarding his chest injury, leaped up and tightly embraced the person in the hurricane.

"Stop, Huo Yao!"

The wind suddenly stopped, and a person appeared, anxiously calling out to him, "Young Master, she wants to kill you!"

Ji Yan seemed not to have heard at all. He nervously looked down at the person in his arms. The wind blew away the veil covering her, allowing him to see her cold, hateful eyes.

He felt a moment of suffocation in his chest, unable to utter a word. He could only lower his head, hold her waist tightly, and let the pain spread throughout his body.

"It's not the right time yet..."

"Little Yue'er, please wait for me a little longer, okay? Give me just a little more time, please..."

Darkness assaulted his consciousness moment by moment, and his severely wounded heart beat slower and slower. Within that heart, he could feel the scars she desperately wanted to leave behind.

So unforgettable, so heart-wrenching.

His body slumped downwards, and with difficulty he looked up, only to see her cold, indifferent face.

Her once radiant smile has ultimately turned her into a lifeless puppet.

It's all his fault.

It's all his fault!

"Young Master!" Huo Yao rushed forward in a panic when he saw Ji Yan falling, and caught him in the wind. "Young Master, Young Master, are you alright?"

Ji Yan shook his head, his chapped lips slowly parting as he commanded, "Let's go."

His eyes, however, could not bear to leave the goddess in the sky for even a moment.

Huo Yao, seething with anger, said, "Young Master, why do you always go easy on her? This time she's going to..."

"let's go!"

"……Yes."
