Saving the White Moonlight Chapter 86

In the previous life, the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed had naturally been given to Su Qian’er by Yun Mixue.
The Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed was so rare. With Eldest Senior Sister’s steadiness, even if she would not deliberately disguise it like Yan Zhuguang did, she would not tell the Qiao family about the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed.
Later, Eldest Senior Sister gave the remaining Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed to Gu Chen. With Yun Mixue’s nature, it was even more impossible for her to talk about the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed to Su Qian’er. As for Gu Chen, he would also not reveal the matter of the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed to Su Qian’er.
But if Su Qian’er was told her identity, then this news could not be hidden.
Su Qian’er had the Heavenly Restraint Body. Aside from the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed, they had not heard of any other method that could repair the Heavenly Restraint Body.
Once Su Qian’er was told her identity, even if the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed was not mentioned, if she later learned about the Heavenly Restraint Body, she would be able to guess that what Yan Zhuguang had given her that day was the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed.
At that time, the matter of the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed would be exposed before Su Qian’er. If Su Qian’er developed greedy thoughts toward the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed, would Yun Mixue, who was not guarded against others, not be in danger?
Since the sect master was unwilling to expose the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed, then in the previous life, Su Qian’er probably did not know about it. At least before coming into contact with Su You Demon Lord, no one would have told her.
Yan Zhuguang considered it from another angle. “Sect Master is worried about the safety of Eldest Senior Sister and me and does not want to leak news of the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed. I understand. However, we are not the only ones who know about the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed. The Dripping Blood Demon Domain knows too.”
“Su Qian’er does not know now, but she will always have a chance to know in the future. If the Dripping Blood Demon Domain adds oil and vinegar to the story, will it not become even harder to control?”
At first, Yan Zhuguang had also wanted to hide Su Qian’er’s identity from her. However, that had been before Su Qian’er entered Fenghua Immortal Sect.
Su You Demon Lord was not simple. For Su Qian’er, who knew what she would do?
Also, Su Qian’er already showed signs of falling into the demonic path. Even if it was temporarily suppressed, it was possible that she might suffer cultivation deviation again in the future. If Su Qian’er became demonized and went mad inside Fenghua Immortal Sect, who knew what kind of trouble she might cause?
Yan Zhuguang thought it over. Telling Su Qian’er was actually much less dangerous than not telling her. To deal with someone like Su You Demon Lord, they had to act outside her expectations.
She probably would not expect that they would ignore the risk of exposing the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed and explain everything clearly to Su Qian’er, right? As long as Su Qian’er’s mind did not fail her, she would not be provoked by the Dripping Blood Demon Domain.
“I have also thought about this,” Gu Chen said. “When that time comes, Su Qian’er will likely have already left Fenghua Immortal Sect. Even if she wants to do something, she will not be able to stir up any great waves.”
“Not necessarily. Even completely erasing Su Qian’er would not mean there would be no trouble.” Erasing her was impossible. Putting aside the fact that Su Qian’er had not shown any threat yet, just because of the Qiao branch family’s destruction, Fenghua Immortal Sect could not care for Su Qian’er, this “orphan,” until she disappeared.
Since Su You Demon Lord dared to hand Su Qian’er to Fenghua Immortal Sect, she naturally had a way to ensure Su Qian’er would not be in danger.
In Yan Zhuguang’s view, letting Su Qian’er learn about the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed under her eyes was far better than letting her hear rumors when Yan Zhuguang did not know. No one knew how much the news Su Qian’er heard would be changed or distorted.
Gu Chen’s method was to block off danger. But in Yan Zhuguang’s view, this method might instead create more uncertainty. Blocking was not as good as guiding. If danger was placed under their eyes, it would no longer be danger.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Chen understood Yan Zhuguang’s thoughts.
“If you do not mind the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed being exposed, I will not stop you.”
Yan Zhuguang nodded slightly.
They had spoken privately for a while. Yun Mixue and Su Qian’er’s conversation had already ended some time ago. Su Qian’er asked to go to the Qiao family immediately to investigate, and Yun Mixue naturally could not stop her. Now they were waiting for Gu Chen to speak.
Gu Chen sat silently above for a while before saying, “Since you all agree, then leave at once.”
Su Qian’er looked pleased. “Thank you, Sect Master.”
Yan Zhuguang and Yun Mixue bowed to the sect master together. Then the three of them left the hall.
Yun Mixue looked at Su Qian’er and said, “Junior Sister Su has now advanced to early Foundation Establishment, so it is time for sword flight. For easier travel, why not go to the inner disciple hall first and receive the flying sword for Foundation Establishment disciples?”
Yan Zhuguang nodded. “I also need to exchange for a Golden Core flying sword. The one I use now is a little slow for Golden Core.”
Su Qian’er was very surprised. “Senior Sister Yan has already reached Golden Core?” Although she could not see through Yan Zhuguang’s strength, she had always thought Yan Zhuguang was only at late Foundation Establishment.
“This time, I luckily gained comprehension and broke through in Qinggong Tower. I only just reached early Golden Core.”
Su Qian’er’s expression became slightly complicated. Then she smiled and said, “I have not yet congratulated Senior Sister Yan.”
“There is no need for that.” Yan Zhuguang smiled. “All right, Junior Sister Su, are you going to the disciple hall?”
Su Qian’er nodded. “That would be good.”
Yan Zhuguang gave Su Qian’er a ride, and Yun Mixue followed beside them. Together, they went to the disciple hall. During this time, Yan Zhuguang transmitted her voice to Yun Mixue and told her about telling Su Qian’er the truth of her identity.
Yun Mixue was a little stunned. After thinking about it, she said, “It is naturally good to tell Junior Sister Su. Only, Junior Sister Su just experienced the destruction of the Qiao branch family, and now she is rushing around for this matter. If we suddenly tell her, will she…” be unable to withstand the blow?
When it came to telling Su Qian’er the truth of her background, Gu Chen and Yan Zhuguang considered the danger this trip might bring to the people around Su Qian’er. But the first thing Yun Mixue considered was Su Qian’er herself.
Yan Zhuguang felt a little ashamed. But shame was shame. She had still made up her mind to tell her.
“Junior Sister Su naturally will not feel good, but there are too many variables on this trip to the Qiao family. If we do not explain everything clearly to Junior Sister Su, and she listens to villains stirring trouble when we do not know, it will be too late for regret.”
“Eldest Senior Sister, do not forget the shadow demon on Qiao Shengjiao. Not to mention that the shadow demon may still be around. Even Qiao Shengjiao, the legitimate second son of the Qiao family, could be possessed by a shadow demon. It is hard to guarantee other members of the Qiao family will not be. This trip is truly impossible to fully guard against.”
“Then are we telling her only that she is the sect master’s daughter, or are we also telling her about Su You Demon Lord?”
“Only telling her she is the sect master’s daughter is no different from telling her nothing.” Since they were going to speak, they should explain everything clearly.
Yun Mixue thought for a moment. “Once everything is laid out, Junior Sister Su will know about the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed.”
“That does not matter,” Yan Zhuguang said. “Junior Sister Su’s Heavenly Restraint Body has already been repaired. She has no need to covet the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed anymore, right?”
Yun Mixue looked slightly doubtful about Yan Zhuguang’s words. Could Zhuguang truly think that way?
Seeing disbelief appear in Eldest Senior Sister’s eyes, Yan Zhuguang smiled. “In any case, she will know one day. Instead of letting her hear rumors, it is better for me to tell her personally.”
“Does the sect master know about this?”
“This was a sudden thought I had earlier. I already discussed it with the sect master in the hall.” Yan Zhuguang’s tone was careful. “Only, I did not have time to tell Eldest Senior Sister just now.”
At the time, she had suddenly thought of this and first tested the sect master’s thoughts, wanting to infer the situation in the previous life. But hiding it from Eldest Senior Sister made Yan Zhuguang feel somewhat guilty.
Yun Mixue did not mind who knew the news first. Had Zhuguang not told her immediately? She had not meant to hide it from her. Besides, if the sect master did not agree to this matter, even if the two of them agreed, they could not privately tell Su Qian’er.
Since Yan Zhuguang had already made up her mind and considered the consequences, Yun Mixue naturally would not stop her. “All right.”
“There should be no delay. After we receive the flying swords, shall we invite her to Zhaoxue Peak?” In truth, Yan Zhuguang also wanted to test Su Qian’er’s identity along the way.
When Su Qian’er learned her own identity and her mind was shaken, that would be a good chance to draw words out of her.
Yun Mixue agreed.
So, when the three left the disciple hall and Su Qian’er was holding her flying sword, eager to try it, Yan Zhuguang said to her, “Junior Sister Su, before going to the Qiao family, we still have an extremely important matter to tell you.”
Seeing the full seriousness in Yan Zhuguang’s eyes, Su Qian’er suddenly had a bad feeling for some reason. It was as if what Yan Zhuguang was about to tell her was not something she could accept.
Su Qian’er tightened her grip on the flying sword and calmed her heart, which had started beating strangely fast. She avoided the matter somewhat. “Right now, going to the Qiao family is more important. If there is something, why not say it on the road?”
Yan Zhuguang said, “This matter is very important, and it is connected to the Qiao family. Saying it on the road is not safe. After we go to the Qiao family, it may be too late.”
Yan Zhuguang held Su Qian’er’s shoulder and looked into her eyes. “Junior Sister Su, think carefully.”
Su Qian’er pressed her lips together. “Wh-what exactly is it?”
Yun Mixue’s gaze fell on Yan Zhuguang’s hand on Su Qian’er’s shoulder. “This matter concerns Miss Su’s background.”
Yan Zhuguang noticed and quietly withdrew her hand.
Su Qian’er did not notice anything wrong. Her mind was drawn by the words “background.” She could not help biting her lip. After hesitating for a long while, she still agreed. “All right. I… I will listen.”
The three left the disciple hall and headed to Zhaoxue Peak.
Su Qian’er had just obtained a flying sword for the first time and still did not know how to fly. Yan Zhuguang volunteered to teach her sword flight, while Yun Mixue added guidance from the side. Looking at the three of them like this, there was a rare kind of harmony.
Yan Zhuguang let Su Qian’er fly in front while she and Yun Mixue protected her from behind. At first, Su Qian’er flew with many stumbles. Only later did she slowly become more familiar with it.
Yan Zhuguang rubbed her chin. The clumsiness was truly clumsiness. It did not look fake. Had Su Qian’er not flown on a sword in her previous life? Could it be that her strength in her previous life had not reached Foundation Establishment?
Strength below Foundation Establishment, hatred toward Gu Chen, dislike toward Eldest Senior Sister, fear toward Yun Changyue… Earlier, when she took the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed, she had not shown anything unusual either. She probably was not the female lead who had taken the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed.
Yan Zhuguang suddenly thought, “System, is it possible that this Su Qian’er is the female lead from some other parallel space, reborn from before taking the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed? For example… after Shen Wanqing misunderstood Gu Chen and thought he took her as a substitute, then left in anger?”
This time point matched Su Qian’er’s current situation the most.
At that time, Yun Changyue had not yet been dealt with by Gu Chen, and she had caused Shen Wanqing great harm. That was why earlier at Qiuming Pill Hall, Su Qian’er had shown fear when she saw Yun Changyue come in with Chu Ningyan.
And that time was also when Shen Wanqing hated Gu Chen the most in the plot. Also, she was a powerless person. After leaving the male lead’s protection, if the world’s flow had even a small change, she could very likely lose her life. If she died because of that, would she not hate Gu Chen deeply?
In truth, this kind of development fit reality more.
In the plot, the female lead left Fenghua Immortal Sect and still remained unharmed. Even the Dripping Blood Demon Domain, which was enemies with Fenghua Immortal Sect, did not attack her and instead only captured her in a way that counted as protection. That was what made no sense at all.
As for Eldest Senior Sister, others used Eldest Senior Sister’s name to suppress and torment the female lead in every way. It would be strange if the female lead liked Eldest Senior Sister.
The system practically knelt before Host’s imagination. “How could that be possible…”
