Chapter 544 That would be too tragic.
Chapter 544 That would be too tragic.
Family ties, friendships, romantic love, casual acquaintances, nodding acquaintances, and lifelong friends—they are all equally important and are an indispensable part of human life.
No one should give up everything for one person; that would be giving up oneself.
Even for someone you love very much, you shouldn't.
Love is the most dazzling firework in life, but it would be too sad if life only had this one firework.
Jiang Liqian genuinely cared for him, so she didn't want his life to become barren or sorrowful.
“Senior sister…” Xu Youan suddenly hugged Jiang Liqian, burying his head in her neck. His trembling voice betrayed the bittersweet mix of tears and joy in his voice, “Don’t be so good to me, okay? Don’t be any better to me…”
Many people felt that his senior sister didn't understand love, didn't know what love was. They felt that her eyes were only on the sword, the Great Dao, and the rise and fall of the sect. So they resented her, resented why she wouldn't let her gaze fall on them, why she wouldn't love like they did, love to the point of madness, love to the point of hoarseness, love to the point of the collapse of heaven and earth.
Only he knew that it wasn't like that. His senior sister's love was just too noble, encompassing all praise and virtue, and allowing no darkness or filth whatsoever. She was willing to use everything she had to support the people she cared about, so that they could stand higher, see further, and become better versions of themselves.
She hoped he could be happier, live a better life, and have a more brilliant and splendid life.
If leaving her, he, and they could become better people, she would be willing.
But these disgusting vermin only hate her nobility, hate her pristine purity, hate why she can be so wonderful!
They had to pull her down, dirty her, and rip her to shreds so they could hold her ankles, forget their own filth, and enjoy her beauty, as if they were truly worthy of her.
Senior sister, you have no idea how vicious a person's heart can be. When a person has love, it's as if all evil has a get-out-of-jail-free card. He may not become more moral, but rather more despicable and shameless.
More like a venomous snake, it opens one door after another to sin without any burden.
When the bright moonlight illuminates the darkness, after a while, the darkness will greedily try to swallow her up.
"Ayou..." Feeling the cool liquid dripping onto her neck, Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment. Her lips opened and closed, but she didn't know what to say for a long time.
Why...why is he so sad?
She was so sad that she felt a dull ache in her heart.
"I don't want to lie to you." Xu Youan's voice was muffled, but he held her tighter and tighter. "Senior sister, please give me some more time, okay? When the time is right, I will tell you whatever you want to know, without lying a single word. Otherwise, may all my cultivation be destroyed, and I be reduced to ashes, never to be reborn!"
"Junior Brother!" Jiang Liqian cried out, her voice trembling.
How could he make such a serious oath? Does he even know that oaths made by cultivators can truly come true?
Xu Youan playfully nuzzled her neck, her voice tinged with coquettishness as she pleaded, "Senior sister, having you in my life is already my greatest effort and my greatest fortune. Please don't make me love anyone else, okay? Please, senior sister, just be kind to me."
Jiang Liqian blushed instantly, unsure whether to push him or not.
What kind of talk is this? Where did he learn it from?
That's so inappropriate!
After coughing twice, Jiang Liqian stammered, "Never mind... never mind, anyway, there's plenty of time later... It's late, let's go back and rest. The competition is tomorrow, we need to make sure we have plenty of energy!"
Xu Youan gave a soft "hmm," but refused to let go of her arms.
Jiang Liqian's cheeks were practically burning hot, and she couldn't help but give him a symbolic push: "Ayou?"
"Yes, I'm here, senior sister."
Jiang Li blushed slightly and said softly, "It's time to go back."
Xu Youan remained silent.
"???"
When did my junior brother become so clingy?
"It's time to go back."
"Oh."
"Xu Youan!"
"Ah."
Jiang Liqian gave up.
Fine, let him hug me if he wants.
Thinking this, she sighed and reached out to gently hug him back.
The night breeze was cool, and the air in Taikun Sect was filled with the dampness of water spirit energy. Faintly, the fragrance of the underwater spiritual epiphyllum could be heard, elegant and charming.

"Junior brother, Junior Brother Qingzhi!"
"Wake up! If you don't wake up soon, your painstakingly written 'Outline for the Thousand-Year Development of the Tianqian Sect' will be thrown into the furnace by your second senior brother to refine pills!"
"Who? Who's going to throw my outline into alchemy?" Startled awake, Qingzhi hurriedly searched for the missing manuscript.
"Here it is, here it is, don't look anymore, it's not lost." The girl grinned and took out a thick stack of papers from behind her, her eyes full of cunning.
"Junior Sister, you're bullying me again!" Qingzhi was furious, her cheeks puffed out and her lips almost touching the sky.
The girl blinked, then suddenly moved closer to him, staring intently into his eyes as if she hadn't expected it: "You're crying already?"
"Junior Sister!" Qingzhi wanted to get angry, but the girl in front of him was too close, making his cheeks burn and his whole body feel like it was being cooked.
In the end, having no other choice, he could only sulk in silence.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore, okay? Stop crying." The girl quickly took out a handkerchief with the scent of peach blossoms and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, gently coaxing him, "Your junior sister stole the 'Complete Map of Forbidden Lands' for you. You wanted to see it, so here you are." As she spoke, she took out the stack of books, which was as tall as two people, from her Qiankun bag and placed them neatly in front of him.
Qingzhi was taken aback, then bit her lower lip and lowered her head.
"Junior sister, why are you so nice to me? Everyone thinks I'm aloof and cold, and they don't want to talk to me at all."
The girl smiled and pinched his cheek: "How could that be? Qingzhi from our peak is the most well-behaved, the most ambitious, and the cutest junior brother. I especially adore him."
"But……"
"But what?"
But in the end, you cruelly ripped yourself out of my heart, without caring how much pain I would feel.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Qingzhi, who was lying on the stone bed, vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you, you know you shouldn't be thinking about her, but once you start thinking about her, your mind becomes unstable, and you're very likely to go astray!" Jiang Xun hurriedly gave him acupuncture and medicine.
Jiang Yueming, who was standing by, also sighed helplessly.
