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

Chapter 351 Soul Transfer Array

Xu Youan nodded obediently and opened his mouth to bite the jade spoon.

"Is it still hot?" Jiang Liqian was a little unsure of the temperature.

Xu Youan shook her head: "It's not hot at all, Senior Sister."

That's good.

Jiang Liqian followed suit, slowly feeding him the medicine, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the medicine stains from the corners of his mouth. By the time she realized she was no longer taking care of her junior sister, she was already very close to him.

When her eyes caught sight of his flawless profile, her heart skipped a beat. She nervously let go of his hand and immediately distanced herself from him.

The handkerchief fluttered and fell to the ground, quietly and silently.

The area behind Xu Youan's ears was red as if blood was about to drip out. He controlled his pounding heart, tried to act as if nothing had happened, and quietly clutched her sleeve.

"Senior Sister..." He blinked his beautiful eyes, pure and pitiful, "The medicine is so bitter, I want to eat candied fruit."

Jiang Liqian reacted and secretly blamed herself for making too much of a fuss. It was not like she had not taken care of injured fellow disciples before, and it was all... all the same.

Taking a deep breath, she turned to get the candied fruit from the table, but her hurried steps exposed her helplessness.

Xu Youan saw all of this, and when she opened the paper package and handed the candied fruit to him, he suddenly reached out and gently hooked her slender little finger.

The candied fruit all fell to the ground with a "plop".

Jiang Liqian widened her eyes slightly, and felt a small electric current suddenly rushing up her arm from her little finger bone, which was both numb and frightening.

She was so panicked that she didn't know what to do. She wanted to step back, but she bumped into Xu Youan's tearful and red eyes.

"you……"

"Senior Sister," he sniffed, tears glistening in his eyes, looking so pitiful, "It's really hard."

Jiang Liqian's heart suddenly softened. She couldn't help but bend down, put her forehead against his, and looked at him intently.

"Is it still bitter like this?"

Xu Youan almost squeezed his palms until they bled before he could control his heart that was about to jump out of his throat.

My forehead felt warm, and the warmth went all the way to the bones.

The blood, meridians, bones...all seemed to be drunk at this moment.

He suddenly felt reluctant to leave, reluctant to leave this moment, and could only stay at this moment.

If only the disk of time wouldn't rotate.

If they still have a lot of time...

"Senior Sister..." He suddenly closed his eyes and gently covered her eyes with his right hand. He buried his head in her neck, breathing lightly and shallowly, cautiously and yet greedily. "Don't do this to other people, okay?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Liqian was a little uncomfortable with the darkness in front of her.

"I'd be jealous." Crazy jealous.

Jiang Liqian pulled his hand away with amusement.

He really has the mentality of a child. What is there to be jealous of?

Besides, she just wanted to comfort him and tease him a little. He was so pitiful, and she was just impulsive, so there was no way she would think of anyone else.

Putting the only remaining candied fruit into his mouth, she looked at his bulging cheek and asked him, "Little Junior Brother, let's get down to business. There's something I want to ask you. I don't know if Master has asked you before me, but Master is Master, and I am me."

"Can you tell me where your soul has gone?"

The sweet candied fruit in my mouth suddenly became cold and hard to swallow.

Xu Youan subconsciously lowered his eyelids, trying to hide his emotions.

"Sister, I..."

"I don't want to hear lies."

Xu Youan pursed his lips and tried to struggle: "Can I not say it?"

Jiang Liqian looked at him seriously: "No."

If it was something else, it would be fine, but this concerned his life. Even as a senior sister, she had to get to the bottom of it.

With a barely perceptible sigh, Xu Youan knew he was doomed to lose against his senior sister, so he could only confess honestly: "My soul is not lost, I just... put it somewhere else."

Jiang Liqian widened her eyes slightly, almost not understanding what he was saying.

"I used the Soul Transfer Formation, Senior Sister."

Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, almost falling down in shock.

"You, do you know what the Soul Transferring Formation is..."

"I know, it's a forbidden technique."

"Not only that, it's also a magic array used by evil cultivators! Xu Youan, what the hell are you doing?!"

Jiang Liqian's tone was unprecedentedly harsh, and the air around her became colder and colder.

Even without looking into her eyes, Xu Youan knew how angry his senior sister was at the moment.

He wanted to pull her sleeve to make her not be so angry with him, but he raised his hand and then put it down sadly.

"I know it's usually used by evil cultivators to seize the bodies of others while preserving their own cultivation as much as possible. However," he explained hastily, "the Soul Transfer Array wasn't created for this purpose. The separation of soul and body is simply a means of preserving life in desperate situations. As long as the soul isn't damaged, no matter how much damage the body suffers, it won't die. Even if the body is gone, it can be reconstructed..."

"What about the primordial spirit?" Jiang Liqian's face turned pale as she asked sternly, "What will happen if the primordial spirit is damaged and there is no soul to nourish and repair it in time?

"Your soul will be shattered instantly, and you won't even be able to enter reincarnation!"

This was the first time Jiang Liqian spoke to him so harshly since he joined the mountain sect.

Xu Youan felt a sudden panic for no reason, afraid that she would ignore him again.

Without caring about anything else, he grabbed her sleeve in panic and said, "Sister, the incident in Shuiwan City was just an accident. I was in a hurry at the time. I couldn't just watch you get hurt and remain indifferent. That's why I didn't care about damaging your soul.

"Senior Sister, you know, a cultivator's soul is the hardest to be injured. Even if the cultivator dies, the soul can remain intact... I, I really didn't mean to do anything bad.

"Sister, please don't be angry with me, okay? I will never do anything to make you angry again. I can swear a great oath to the devil in my heart!"

Seeing her junior apprentice brother's panicked expression, Jiang Liqian couldn't vent her anger, no matter how angry she was. Moreover, she was not only angry, but also terrified.

If she hadn't been able to get the pagoda wood at the East County auction, if she hadn't been able to get back in time, he would have really died.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liqian forced herself to calm down and have a good talk with him.

"Xu Youan, tell me honestly, what was your purpose in using the Soul Transferring Formation to expel your soul from your body? Don't tell me nonsense like 'it's a means of saving your life', and don't force me to go to Danfeng to ask for Yan Zhenshui."

Feeling that his senior sister was not that angry, Xu Youan calmed down and his face regained some color.

"I am only pursuing a higher realm. The pursuit of higher mysteries of formations, the pursuit of the essence of the great way.

"Senior Sister, practicing swords will make you obsessed, and so will studying formations."
