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

Chapter 217 is... the only love

Spots of moisture spread to his eyes. In his blurred warm vision, Xu Youan looked at the girl under the moonlight steadily, and cold tears meandered down from his heart.

I like it.

How can you not like it?

I like it the most, I like it the most.

It's... my only true love.

But, but...how could he tell her?

This one, can never be spoken of...

The cold fingertips pinched into the flesh little by little, but he smiled at her with red eyes.

“It’s beautiful, I love it.

"Sister."

-

The next morning, as soon as Jiang Liqian walked out of her yard, she saw Xu Youan leaning against the courtyard wall waiting for her.

Today he was going to Qingyezhai to listen to his master's lectures, so he changed back into the sect's disciple uniform, with dark patterns floating on it and gold threads wrapped around the sleeves. The ponytail that was tied up yesterday was now neatly tied in a jade crown. He looked less high-spirited and unrestrained, but his youthful appearance was still as beautiful as jade and his temperament was still as graceful as ever.

A handsome young man, covered in frost under the bright moon.

Seeing the snow-capped shadows coming from afar, it is like an old friend returning.

A hint of absent-mindedness flashed across Jiang Liqian's eyes very quickly, and she quickened her pace and walked over.

"Junior brother!" she called him in surprise.

Xu Youan also walked towards her. Hearing the voice, he softly said "hmm", and then whispered: "Senior Sister."

Jiang Liqian was still very satisfied with this obedient, well-behaved and kind-hearted junior brother, especially when he risked his life to block the thunder for her, she became more certain of her idea - she would fulfill her responsibility as a senior sister and help him cultivate immortality.

Although there are previous experiences, as the saying goes, one should not throw the baby out with the bathwater. She just doesn't believe that her vision is so bad that she always meets ungrateful people.

Besides, it was impossible for her to be as unreserved as she was in her previous life... She could only try her best to thank her junior brother for his help.

The two of them used the teleportation array and arrived at Qingye Zhai two quarters of an hour earlier.

What they didn't expect was that Master Zhongdao was already waiting for them inside.

Not daring to delay, after paying their respects to the Taoist Master Zhongdao above them, the two found a seat and sat down upright.

Master Chongdao had been resting with his eyes closed. He took a quick look with his spiritual sense and saw that the two senior sisters and brothers were already seated, ready to listen to the class attentively. He raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes.

"You're here so early?" He opened the conversation with a light teasing.

However, Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan did not dare to speak.

The master arrived earlier than the disciples, and the disciples actually asked the master to sit here and wait for them. In the Qiankun Sect, which respects teachers, this is considered treason and disobedience to the master.

Although——it was obvious that the other party had arrived earlier.

Without even asking, Master Chongdao knew what the two senior brothers and sisters were thinking. His tone remained gentle as always, but his words were sharp: "Practicing Taoism is against the will of Heaven. The path to immortality is filled with grievances, unfairness, struggle, failure, and even sudden death... Without thorough consideration, an extra bit of thought, a spirit of hardship and perseverance, and unwavering perseverance, how can one achieve long-term success on the path to immortality?"

"Sometimes, instead of thinking about others not following the rules and not being moral and ethical, think about how you can make them follow the rules and be moral. The laws of the world are made by the strong. Before you become a strong person, you must learn to be tolerant and make use of this tolerance."

Jiang Liqian listened to the teachings of Master Zhongdao, her heart stunned. Every word like the mantra struck her heart.

She had never been taught so patiently and in such detail before. In the eyes of Immortal Master Qingzhi, not being strong enough was a sin, and not being able to have a mind without anything in it meant that one's will was weak.

Most of the time, she would trudge forward alone, then collapse in disgrace, silently lick her wounds, learn from her failures, and continue to advance, one step deep and one step shallow, only to collapse again and get up again...

She had envied the master-disciple relationship among her fellow disciples, but she always felt that it was because she was the eldest sister that she needed to be tempered and treated most harshly. Only in this way could she inherit her master's mantle and shoulder the responsibility of the entire sect in the future.

But that’s not the case.

She should have figured it out earlier.

How could a master who practices the ruthless way possibly understand what the relationship between a master and a disciple is?

When did he ever care?

Today was the first time she felt the normal teachings of her master, and she actually felt a sour and numb feeling in her heart, a little uncomfortable, but also a little happy.

It was as if all the hardships of her past life began to leave her little by little.

"Qian'er." Master's concerned voice suddenly came.

Jiang Liqian suddenly came back to her senses and found that her master was standing beside her, looking at her with a worried look on his face.

Then he tugged at his beard in frustration: "Is Master's tone too harsh? You're a girl, and I should have spoken more gently. Oh, hey, hey, what should I do? I've made my good disciple cry..."

Jiang Liqian touched her face and didn't feel any moisture. She stroked her eyes and felt a little bit of heat linger on her fingertips.

She was slightly startled, then stood up and bowed to Master Zhongdao: "Master, I have benefited greatly from this. Thank you for your guidance, I will always remember it."

Master Chongdao was so shocked by her gift that his beard flew all over the place, and he felt a little embarrassed. He immediately coughed twice, sat back in the main seat, and quickly stroked his beard with one hand to hide his embarrassment.

Xu Youan took advantage of Master Zhongdao's inattention and took out a handkerchief and quietly handed it to Jiang Liqian.

He whispered, "Sister, everything will get better, don't be sad."

Jiang Liqian didn't expect that her junior brother was so considerate and thoughtful, even bringing her a handkerchief that only girls have. She gave him a grateful look and quickly lowered her head to wipe the moisture from her eyes.

Although interrupted by a small episode, Master Zhongdao did not care and quickly got back to the main topic.

"You should know that for sword cultivators, the most important thing is to find your sword heart. For magic cultivators, it's to clarify your profound heart. For talisman cultivators, it's to contemplate your talisman heart. And it's the same for us formation cultivators. At the very beginning, at the beginning of truly becoming a formation cultivator, you must comprehend one thing—the profound formation heart that belongs only to you.

"Swords have sword spirits, weapons have weapon spirits, and formations also have their own lives and heartbeats. Learning formations is an attempt to communicate with these formations and achieve the state of harmony between man and nature."

As Master Chongdao spoke, he waved his sleeves, and several formation flags were hung in the air. An extremely exquisite formation plate appeared in the center of the flags. As the flags changed, the formation plate also changed. In just a breath, the formation plate had changed hundreds of times.

There is a smooth flow between them, without any stagnation or conflict.

Mysterious and profound, this is the law of heaven and earth.

Jiang Liqian was stunned.
