Saving the White Moonlight Chapter 63

“Qian’er! Do not make trouble!”
Qiao Zhenbang loudly scolded her and grabbed Su Qian’er. “Do not speak.”
“I…” Su Qian’er still wanted to refuse, but Qiao Zhenbang stopped her with one look.
Su Qian’er bit her lip as if she would bite it open. Even if she did not speak, one could see from her eyes that she was extremely resistant to going to Fenghua Immortal Sect.
Qiao Zhenbang did not care about Su Qian’er’s expression. He took off the storage ring on his hand. In front of Yun Mixue and Yan Zhuguang, he erased the aura on the ring and forced out the blood essence used to bind it. Then he offered it to Yun Mixue with both hands. “This storage ring contains this junior’s life savings. To Senior, perhaps it is not worth much, but it is still this junior’s sincere intention.”
“Please, Senior, for the sake of this junior’s earnest love for my child, accept Qian’er.”
“Family Head Qiao need not do this.” Yun Mixue pushed the ring away. “The Qiao family’s matter has shaken the cultivation world and drawn attention from all sides. No matter how arrogant the demonic cultivators who committed such evil are, they cannot strike again under so much attention.”
“Family Head Qiao truly need not worry so much about Miss Su,” Yun Mixue comforted Qiao Zhenbang. “Besides, Miss Su seems more willing to follow Family Head Qiao. Why not consider Miss Su’s thoughts?”
Hearing this, Su Qian’er nodded hard at Qiao Zhenbang. She truly did not want to go to Fenghua Immortal Sect. Why did Grandfather insist on forcing her in?
However, Qiao Zhenbang did not care about her thoughts. He said, “Qian’er has been spoiled by me. Now that her body has been repaired, she will sooner or later step onto the path of cultivation. Sooner or later, she should leave my side.”
He shook his head. “Senior knows that my Qiao family is now in this state. We can no longer create good cultivation conditions for Qian’er. Although the branch family has the main family behind it, Qian’er is not surnamed Qiao. Even branch family members have difficulty entering the main family, and it would be even harder for her.”
“I am also unwilling to let her go to the main family and suffer bullying. After thinking it over, only your noble sect can be trusted with her.”
He looked at Yan Zhuguang. “I heard Miss Yan was admitted into your noble sect as an exception because of her excellent talent. Although Qian’er’s talent cannot compare with Miss Yan’s heavenly-matched spirit body, it is still not poor.”
After that, Qiao Zhenbang offered further sincerity, whether oath or storage ring, leaving Yun Mixue free to accept or refuse as she wished.
Yun Mixue naturally would not agree to those conditions. After solemnly conveying the elders’ meaning to Qiao Zhenbang, she declined Su Qian’er’s oath and Qiao Zhenbang’s ring. She only suggested first sending Miss Su back to Fenghua Immortal Sect for placement.
Qiao Zhenbang naturally agreed at once. Seeing that the ring in his hand could not be pushed out, he did not bind it again. Instead, he handed it to Su Qian’er.
“Qian’er, after going to Fenghua Immortal Sect, Grandfather will not be by your side. You must not be willful anymore.” Qiao Zhenbang rubbed Su Qian’er’s head. “Once you enter Fenghua Immortal Sect, you will be a Fenghua Immortal Sect disciple. You must properly listen to the sect’s arrangements.”
Su Qian’er could not refuse the ring and could only grip it tightly. Looking at Qiao Zhenbang with teary eyes, she asked, “Grandfather, why must you send me to Fenghua Immortal Sect?”
Qiao Zhenbang shook his head. “Sigh, I cannot explain it clearly either. Just treat it as Grandfather being old, afraid of trouble, and worried about your safety. Be well and let Grandfather investigate the Qiao family’s matter in peace. Do not make Grandfather worry, all right?”
Su Qian’er choked until she almost lost her voice. “All right…”
No one knew what the grandfather and granddaughter said inside. Yun Mixue did not stay in the room. After passing on the elders’ message, she left and gave the Qiao family time to talk.
Yan Zhuguang and Yun Mixue stood together at the entrance of Qiuming Pill Hall, watching people come and go on the street and feeling admiring gazes fall on them from time to time.
“The spiritual medicine has already taken effect, and Miss Su’s body is better. What about the oath power on Zhuguang?” Yun Mixue had always been thinking about the oath Yan Zhuguang had made before the Wall-Wind Formation. She did not know whether the oath power on Yan Zhuguang had vanished after the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed took effect in Su Qian’er.
After Su Qian’er’s body was repaired by the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed, Qiao Zhenbang arrived and became busy with Su Qian’er’s matter. Yun Mixue had not found a chance to care for Yan Zhuguang and felt rather guilty.
Yan Zhuguang smiled at Yun Mixue. “Senior Sister, do not worry. Since Su Qian’er took the spiritual medicine, what problem could I have? What remains are only some small side issues.”
Su Qian’er was the sect master’s daughter. Although her soul had some problems, the heavenly Dao still judged that Yan Zhuguang had completed the oath, so the oath she made counted as fulfilled.
As for the small issue she mentioned, it was naturally the part of the oath about “not taking revenge against Su Qian’er because of the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed.” To Yan Zhuguang, this small issue was nothing. Although that Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed made her feel a little regretful, it was not enough for her to take revenge.
Her only displeasure was being forced to hand the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed to Su Qian’er. This tiny dissatisfaction was aimed at the deceased former sect master and had little to do with Su Qian’er.
So as long as Su Qian’er did not provoke her, she would not actively provoke Su Qian’er. Otherwise… a mere oath not to take revenge could not restrain her.
Yun Mixue comforted her. “Miss Su’s matter was also because the former sect master dearly loved his daughter. Zhuguang, relax your heart and do not think wrongly.” She was not trying to excuse the former sect master. It was only that Yan Zhuguang was bound by a heavenly Dao oath, and Yun Mixue did not want Zhuguang’s heart to become blocked and harm her cultivation path.
“Senior Sister, do not worry.” Yan Zhuguang held Yun Mixue’s hand, and her eyes seemed to bloom with a hundred flowers. “Do you still not understand me? How could I trap myself over such a small matter?”
She shook Yun Mixue’s hand. “Does Senior Sister still not believe me?”
Yun Mixue tapped the tip of her nose. “That little mouth of yours never spares anyone once you have reason. I only cared about you for a few words, yet now you are doubting Senior Sister?”
“Hehe.” Yan Zhuguang gave Yun Mixue a flattering smile.
After Su Qian’er said farewell to the Qiao family members, the scene she saw when she came out was exactly this.
These two seemed very close, and not only in the way fellow sect sisters were close. Between them, there seemed to be some relationship she could not understand, or perhaps a kind of wonderful bond.
It was a force that could not be easily cut, separating the two of them from everyone else in the world. Su Qian’er felt a little envy, along with some other thoughts.
Her gaze fell on that extremely beautiful young girl, carrying some doubt and confusion. Such a woman could not possibly be unknown, could she?
When Su Qian’er came out, both Yun Mixue and Yan Zhuguang noticed her at once. They simply had been talking and did not respond immediately.
The two turned their heads. Both had smiles on their faces, one like warm sunlight in winter, the other like a rare flower in summer. Su Qian’er found it a little dazzling and almost raised a hand to block it, but she held back.
Yan Zhuguang took in the gaze Su Qian’er had given her earlier and turned it over in her mind. What did that look mean?
Yun Mixue said, “Miss Su, have you finished speaking with Family Head Qiao? Shall we head to Fenghua Immortal Sect now?”
Su Qian’er pressed her lips together and nodded. “Mm.” She paused. “I was rude earlier. Qian’er does not have any dissatisfaction with Fenghua Immortal Sect…”
Yun Mixue shook her head. “Miss Su is reluctant to part with Family Head Qiao. We naturally understand.”
“Mm.” Su Qian’er did not know what to say and stared at the tips of her shoes.
“The elders have already sent a message to the sect master explaining Miss Su’s matter. I expect that after we return to the immortal sect, there will be arrangements for Miss Su. Let us set out now.”
Su Qian’er’s hands, which were twisting the hem of her clothes, paused. “The sect master… What kind of person is the sect master?”
Yun Mixue comforted her. “Do not worry. Although Sect Master Senior Brother has a serious nature, he is firm on the outside and soft inside. He is also fair and just in his actions. Miss Su need not be afraid.”
Su Qian’er’s eyes held some confusion, and another unreadable look flashed through them. “Mm… all right.”
Yan Zhuguang’s expression flickered.
