Senior Sister Went Mad After My Fake Death Chapter 57

Yan Linglong, as usual, came to “Young Lady Yuexi’s” residence again today.
Jiang Chunai opened the door for her and said with a smile that she had come early today.
It was the summer solstice again. The air was dry and hot. Yan Linglong and Jiang Chunai both chose to wear thin gauze clothes.
“It’s too hot today. I just made some iced drinks. Do you want some, Linglong?” Jiang Chunai asked familiarly, turning around.
The summer solstice, the summer solstice, was hot every year on this day.
But summer had a different meaning in Yan Linglong’s heart—
One summer, she had secretly snuck down the mountain, intending to find a birthday gift for Senior Sister Han Xiao. The journey had been very difficult.
If not for meeting Senior Sister Jiang Chunai halfway, she would surely not have been able to return.
…But such a warm-hearted Senior Sister Chunai had died in the same sincere and fiery summer.
Everything had started because of her.
“Eh, Linglong, why are you standing outside and not coming in?” Jiang Chunai had already walked several steps inside. When she turned her head and saw that Yan Linglong had not followed, she couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Oh, right away, I’m coming,” Yan Linglong replied repeatedly.
For more than a year, she and Young Lady Yuexi had become so familiar that Yuexi no longer had to call her “Senior Sister Yan.”
Although Yan Linglong knew in her heart that she was not worthy of this title “Senior Sister Yan.”
Their relationship was maintained in a strange, delicate balance.
In fact, Yan Linglong had not met “Yuexi” in the Bright Snow Sect. Before, during the Ghost Gate incident, although Yuexi had not spoken, she had still left an impression on her.
At that time, the person standing next to Yuexi was none other than Chang Xin.
Who was Chang Xin? One of the people of Yanqiu. Such a Young Lady Yuexi could not possibly be an ordinary mortal who had come up the mountain to become a cultivator.
Jing Shun was careless. He would forget people after seeing them. He would only remember that the girl next to Chang Xin had a pair of eyes that he found very annoying, but he would not think any deeper.
Or perhaps, Su Yanchen had hidden them well.
After all, Mengling always had Mengling’s considerations. Even she herself, who she had taken as her master when she came up the mountain, was arranged by Mengling, by the Su family.
For her childhood friend, for her childhood friend, Yan Linglong had to continue.
There was not much time left, she thought.
A few days ago, Jianqing had come to the Bright Snow Sect again—ever since their last meeting had almost been discovered, Jianqing had become much more cautious and no longer came by herself. The people who came later were also much more cautious.
But last time, Jianqing had come in person again, hoping that she could bring Jiang Chunai out as soon as possible.
“I don’t know if you listened carefully to what Sister Yanchen said when you were on Mount Xialian. But she probably didn’t say it in detail, after all, this is a secret.”
“She met Chang Xin’s group, and Han Xiao was mixed in with them. In the end, she even took one of them away by force…”
The person Jianqing was talking about was none other than “Yuexi.”
“That person must be Jiang Chunai. Otherwise, Han Xiao would not have stopped, and she would not have condescended to follow them that day, until the killing formation was exposed, at the risk of her life…”
Su Yanchen had probably already guessed Yuexi’s identity at that time.
She had just kept it from her, waiting for Jianqing to come a few days ago to tell her.
Jianqing had also said that the matter could not wait. They had to capture Jiang Chunai to force Han Xiao out.
That night, the chirping of insects was endless, and Jianqing’s coughing sound was mixed in, gradually drifting away.
Recalling the little moments she had spent with Su Jianqing, Yan Linglong felt that she of course had to save her childhood friend.
…After all, she and Jianqing were so close, and Jianqing’s health was so weak.
And Senior Sister Han Xiao had now become a notorious demon, her death not worth regretting. Who was more important was clear at a glance.
“Mmm, Linglong, why aren’t you drinking? I remember you like this roselle and plum drink the most,” Jiang Chunai said with a puzzled expression, and at the same time, she pushed the cup on the wooden table closer to Yan Linglong and said with a smile, “In the past, no matter how much I gave you, you would say it wasn’t enough, so I remembered and prepared more.”
“Why, now that it’s delivered to your lips, and there’s enough, you’re not drinking?”
Yan Linglong let out a surprised “ah” and only then came back to her senses from her thoughts. She grabbed the iced drink cup and let the icy cold feeling spread throughout her body.
Icy, cold.
It was her favorite roselle and plum drink.
It was the iced drink she liked most when she could still call Jiang Chunai “Senior Sister.” Although cultivators had no desire for food, Yan Linglong had previously lived a life of luxury, and in the summer, how could she not have some cooling drinks?
But in the Bright Snow Sect, a place that prided itself on being a righteous sect, to want to drink some iced drink was a foolish dream. She couldn’t buy it even if she had money!
And she had always had a secret in her heart, which made it even more difficult for her to interact with others.
But she had happened to meet the extremely kind Senior Sister Jiang Chunai.
Although Senior Sister Jiang Chunai was a disciple of Immortal Lord Yang Nian, she didn’t mind that she was a disciple of Dao Lord Qiming. Not only did she make her this summer cooling iced drink, but she even taught her the Purple Lightning Green Frost Sword, move by move…
From that time on, she had liked to drink it.
Even though she had now lost the right to call the person in front of her “Senior Sister Chunai,” this feeling still remained in her heart.
But what was she supposed to do?
Jianqing had said that there was no time, and Han Xiao was causing trouble everywhere. If she didn’t capture her, the situation would only get worse.
Jiang Chunai was the only handle.
At the thought of this, Yan Linglong’s heart and face grew hot again.
Even the extremely cool iced drink could not cool it down.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Chunai looked at Yan Linglong’s unnatural expression with confusion and couldn’t help but ask, “Linglong, are you not feeling well today? If you’re not feeling well, then you don’t have to drink today—hmm, when you come next time, I’ll prepare it for you again.”
Jiang Chunai smiled gently. “You can come and drink whenever you want. Summer is long, and you need to cool down every day. I promise that when you come next time, you’ll also have a drink.”
She knew that this junior sister’s favorite iced drink was the roselle and plum drink.
The first time she had hosted Yan Linglong as “Yuexi,” Jiang Chunai had subconsciously made her this drink.
Because she liked it.
But by the time Jiang Chunai had remembered her identity as “Yuexi,” it was too late. She had been worried about being exposed, but Yan Linglong seemed not to have reacted, and had even praised it on the spot.
Seamless, it didn’t seem like she had been exposed. Jiang Chunai had taken this convenience and simply made this iced drink.
“No!” Yan Linglong refused decisively, holding the roselle and plum drink in front of her with both hands and drinking it all down.
The consequences of such a hasty drink were obvious:
“Cough, cough, cough—” Yan Linglong coughed violently. “Cough, cough, cough!”
Jiang Chunai looked on in a daze and couldn’t help but take a handkerchief to wipe the corner of Yan Linglong’s mouth, and at the same time, she said, “What’s the hurry? It’s as if there’s no next time!”
She couldn’t help but smile.
Yan Linglong’s fair little face was flushed from choking, and as she was being wiped by Jiang Chunai, tears couldn’t help but fall from her eyes.
As if there’s no next time—
Yes, it’s because there’s no next time, so she had gulped it all down, drinking a quantity she had never drunk before.
After wiping her mouth, Yan Linglong still held the cup tightly and wouldn’t let go, and at the same time, she asked Jiang Chunai, “Yuexi, you said there was more, right?”
Jiang Chunai said, “There is more. What, you still want to drink?”
After she finished, she couldn’t help but smile. Why was she so greedy today?
She had been a cultivator three times, and had never seen such a greedy cultivator!
But Yan Linglong just smiled and said she wanted to continue drinking, hoping she would give her all the remaining roselle and plum drink.
Although Jiang Chunai was puzzled, she finally agreed.
She turned her head and said, “Alright.”
The sun was scorching, but when it passed through the window lattice and a thin layer of paper, and shone on Senior Sister Chunai’s face, it was a completely different feeling.
Her face had completely changed, but her eyes had not.
Very light, very light glass pupils.
Her whole face was bathed in sunlight, like a vivid rouge, making it impossible to look away.
Yes, this is the last time.
Yan Linglong thought silently, and in her heart, she couldn’t help but apologize to Senior Sister Chunai, “I’m sorry, Senior Sister…”
Once again.
Once again, I’m sorry.
After she finished drinking, she discussed sword practice with Jiang Chunai again.
“Yuexi, why don’t you bring your two sisters this time?” Yan Linglong asked, having drunk her fill, her words even carrying a hint of plum fragrance.
They often had appointments to practice swords.
But this time was different. After all, Yan Linglong was nominally the senior sister, and Yuexi had entered the sect late. There was no reason for the latter to come before the former.
The sword practice had been proposed by Yan Linglong, and the time and place were also found by her. This time was no exception.
She had been preparing for this day for a long time.
Jiang Chunai did not suspect anything, did not think of anything else, but instead said, “Alright, my two sisters haven’t been practicing much lately. With you, Linglong, to watch and guide them, it’s also a good thing.”
“Then where are we going this time?”
Enduring the pounding of her heart, which was like a drum, Yan Linglong pretended to be extremely calm and said as if nothing was wrong, “The place we’re going this time is a bit farther. What I’m going to teach you is the Purple Lightning Green Frost Sword… this set of sword techniques is extremely powerful. If we’re on a nearby mountain, it might affect our fellow disciples, so we have to go a bit farther.”
After she finished, she looked at Jiang Chunai’s reaction even more intently.
However, Jiang Chunai had no reaction when she heard “Purple Lightning Green Frost Sword,” she had just heard it.
Then, Jiang Chunai asked again, since a nearby mountain wouldn’t do, where would they go?
Yan Linglong told her, and Jiang Chunai still felt nothing was amiss. She nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go then.”
“Alright!” Yan Linglong let out a long sigh of relief, thinking to herself that this was finally coming to an end.
And Jiang Chunai did not think of anything unusual.
“You can go there first,” she said again. “You can wait for me there.”
Jiang Chunai still agreed.
It’s good that she agreed, Yan Linglong thought.
In a post station, a group of a dozen or so people were extremely excited.
But the happiest among them was actually a person in a wheelchair, who could not walk.
Su Yanchen was leisurely pushing Su Jianqing for a walk in the courtyard, enjoying the warm and beautiful sunlight, and at the same time, she said, “We’ll be at the Bright Snow Sect soon. How do you feel?”
Su Jianqing’s smile was almost overflowing from her face. She stretched out her hand, as if wanting to grasp the sunlight passing through her palm: the golden light flowed through her fingers.
In the past, she had always felt that such a bright sunlight had nothing to do with her, but now it was different.
Even though it was the same reaching out to grasp, she felt that this time the sunlight had a real feel to it.
Just like the rest of her life, she was holding it tightly in her hand, and no one could snatch it away.
“I feel very good, cousin. Jianqing has lived for so many years, and has never been so happy,” Su Jianqing first laughed softly, and in the end, her laughter turned into a wild and unrestrained one.
Su Yanchen sneered inwardly.
There was no choice, she deserved to be happy.
The family had given everything to save her—of course, it was not just to save her. With the situation having developed to this point, it could only be said that it had started because they had to save Su Jianqing.
Who let the person in the wheelchair she was pushing be the eldest young lady of their Su family?
Su Jianqing laughed so hard that tears were almost flowing from her eyes.
If her good childhood friend were here, she would surely feel that this person in the wheelchair, with her loss of composure and unbridled manner, was not at all similar to the gentle and considerate childhood friend in her memory.
“Anyone in my position would be very happy,” Su Jianqing was still laughing, looking at the red sun hanging in the sky and laughing. “Look, they gave me such a name, ‘Jianqing,’ ‘Jianqing,’ but in the decades of my life, it’s as if I’ve never seen a clear day!”
But now she finally could.
Her desire for life grew stronger and stronger, so she, who had always been unable to walk well, had slowly left her wheelchair, just as she had been with Yan Linglong when she was a child.
Su Jianqing was still saying, “Cousin, do you know how I’ve lived these past few years? I could have joined you, but because of this damned illness, even walking is a struggle. Don’t I have talent?”
…Such words, Su Yanchen had heard more than ten times.
Only she knew what was in this eldest young lady’s heart.
“Hmph… they’ve been planning for me for so long, but the result is just that,” Su Jianqing sneered. “At a critical moment, at an important moment, I still have to rely on myself.”
If not for her having taken a liking to that Yan Linglong when she was a child and befriending her, and tricking her with just a few words, it would not have been so easy for her to get close to Jiang Chunai, to get close to Han Xiao today.
She was the most useful person. If not for her own mother’s weak health, which had caused her to be born with an illness, she would not have been reduced to this state.
Su Jianqing gritted her teeth, feeling the warm sun pouring down. She thought, this is what it feels like to be a child of heaven. And she should have been a child of heaven to begin with.
Whether it was a sword cultivator or a magic cultivator, she should have been the most powerful one.
What Han Xiao… a demon who had just accumulated her strength over thousands of years, and she had the nerve to be called a genius?
Deceiving the world, that’s all.
At the thought of such a deceitful snake demon, who could live for so long, Su Jianqing became even more angry.
Her lifespan was not even one-thousandth of Han Xiao’s.
A thousand words could only be summed up in one sentence, why.
“I still have to rely on myself,” Su Jianqing said. “Others are ultimately unreliable.”
Su Yanchen was pushing her, walking on a downhill path. When she heard these words, she looked at the scattered stones at her feet, and a malicious thought suddenly rose in her heart—
“Yes, if not for my cousin’s own efforts, things would not have been easy.”
As she spoke, her hand suddenly loosened.
Su Jianqing let out a panicked “eh.” When she turned her head, the back of the wheelchair had been firmly held by Su Yanchen. “Ah, let’s go back, Jianqing. There’s not much time. And my aunt should be sending people over to support us.”
“They will set up a defense outside the mountain to prevent Jiang Chunai and Han Xiao from escaping. At the same time, that is, after all, the territory of the Bright Snow Sect. If we do this, we may anger them. But it doesn’t matter…”
But Su Jianqing was still immersed in the momentary shock of losing her balance. After a while, she finally said, “Alright.”
Su Yanchen did not offer any explanation for this, and just pushed Su Jianqing back to the post station.
After all, Su Jianqing could still walk now. A fall would not make a difference; it would not make her lose her title of eldest young lady.
Even if she lost it, it wouldn’t be hers. Now, she was just the leader of the Nine Sages of Mengling.
Su Yanchen decided not to think about it anymore.
As long as she could kill Han Xiao, then all the praise and fame would be hers. The world did not know any Miss Su. At that time, they would only know her, Su Yanchen.
Jing Shun was setting up a defense with his junior disciples at the foot of Mount Qianyu.
Mount Qianyu was one of the farthest mountains from the Bright Snow Sect among the peaks of Mount Shu.
In other words, once they crossed this mountain peak, whatever happened beyond would no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Bright Snow Sect.
The junior disciples set up the defense according to Jing Shun’s instructions and also asked him, “Senior Brother, are we just waiting for someone here? There are forty of us brothers. With so many of us, who are we catching?”
Jing Shun snorted and said, “We’re catching a spy. I want to see who is secretly meeting with Yan Linglong!”
“Yan Linglong!” the junior disciple took a sharp breath. His impression of this fellow disciple was as good as it could be. “She, what’s wrong with her, is she a spy?”
Jing Shun glanced at him and said in a flat tone, “Yes, it’s her. I don’t think this woman is a good person. I used to deal with her because her family is wealthy in the human world, but I didn’t expect this woman to have a snake’s heart!”
If he hadn’t caught Yan Linglong meeting with someone else in private, he wouldn’t have known how long he, and the entire sect, had been deceived by this woman’s disguise!
“Our sect is really unfortunate. First, there was Han Xiao, a degenerate, and now there’s her, another degenerate… honestly, I say, I’m still the only good one,” Jing Shun cursed, but at the same time, he smiled. “You brothers, you must guard Mount Qianyu well for me. When you see Yan Linglong, you must capture her!”
That junior disciple still seemed not to believe that Yan Linglong was this kind of person. “We’ll capture Senior Sister Yan as soon as we see her?”
“Go, go, you fool,” Jing Shun cursed, and at the same time, he kicked the junior disciple who had spoken. “What do you mean, ‘Senior Sister Yan’? She’s just a spy who betrayed her sect. At this time, probably no one will come from Mount Qianyu. Anyway, when you see someone… don’t say people, even a fly, don’t let it leave the territory of Mount Qianyu.”
It sounded like the situation was very serious.
The junior disciple immediately agreed, and did not dare to ask more.
He just vaguely felt that there would be another change in the Bright Snow Sect.
Even a good person like Senior Sister Yan had a problem, let alone other people. But even the former head disciple of the Immortal Lord, Han Xiao, could become a demon overnight and betray her sect. He suddenly felt that no matter how big the change was, it could not be bigger than this.
The head disciple of the Immortal Lord’s betrayal was already scary enough. A step further, could it be that an elder had betrayed them?
That couldn’t be!
“Chunai… are you serious?” Lan Xu had been following Jiang Chunai all the way, her mood growing more and more irritable.
Jiang Chunai just walked in front, and after listening to Lan Xu’s complaints all the way, she finally couldn’t help but speak up to comfort her, “I’m not one to joke around.”
In other words, she really had listened to Yan Linglong’s words and had brought them to this godforsaken mountain.
Lan Xu had been in the Bright Snow Sect for so long, but she had never been to this extremely northern mountain, Mount Huang.
This was the northernmost mountain range among the peaks of Mount Shu. It was said that a phoenix had appeared here, hence its name.
“I think we can’t go any further,” Lan Xu suddenly stopped, very seriously.
Zhi Zhi heard the anger in Sister Lan Xu’s stomping and couldn’t help but stop as well, secretly glancing at her two sisters.
She actually roughly understood what her two sisters meant, and also understood why Lan Xu was in a bad mood.
Senior Sister Chunai had just let them follow, but had not said where they were going, or how to get there. It was only after they were more than halfway there that Lan Xu had gotten anything out of Senior Sister Chunai.
Senior Sister Chunai had said that she and Yan Linglong had agreed to practice swords here.
“This place is rarely visited, and it’s in the north. Let alone if there are people from the Bright Snow Sect coming, I doubt there are even any people here. And I’ve said before, this Yan Linglong is very strange. I caught her meeting with someone else before.”
She still stood in place, her expression agitated, clearly angry at what Jiang Chunai had done.
“Chunai, the words I told you last time, you seem not to have taken them to heart,” she said, her words sincere.
More than being angry, she was angry—she was not willing to blame Jiang Chunai, so the brunt of her anger was all directed at Yan Linglong.
It was she who had tricked them into coming to this place.
“You know,” Lan Xu was still trying to persuade her, trying to get Jiang Chunai to go back, “Yan Linglong definitely knows something else. It was already a problem when she suddenly approached us. Now there are only the three of us, and we’re in this godforsaken place, with no village in front and no shop behind. No one would even know if we died.”
“Maybe dying would be a good ending for us. I’m just afraid someone will suddenly set a trap to catch us. It doesn’t matter if they catch me and Zhi Zhi, what matters is you, Chunai!”
Lan Xu felt like her head was about to explode. She had told Jiang Chunai more than once not to get too close to Yan Linglong.
A traitor is a traitor, a traitor who will never repent. This kind of person is not to be trusted.
Jiang Chunai listened to Lan Xu’s accusations, her heart also in a state of tangled indecision.
Of course she knew what Lan Xu was saying.
“She betrayed you, Chunai! A thing like this, if there’s a first time, there will be a second!”
Yes, it was not long before they reached the foot of Mount Huang. When they got there, it might really be a case of calling to the heavens and the earth, but getting no response.
Jiang Chunai clenched her fists until sweat seeped out, and finally she let go.
The wind rustled through the treetops, a rustling sound, as if someone was hiding among them, waiting to strike.
Just then, Zhi Zhi, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up. A white brocade appeared in her hand.
“Senior Sister, Sister, look what this is. There are words on it, but I can’t read what it is,” Zhi Zhi came over with a curious expression and showed the white brocade to Jiang Chunai and Lan Xu.
Lan Xu was also curious. “What is this? I’ve seen a cultivator use this before.”
She guessed that this thing was common, but she was not convenient to ask. If she asked, it would be easy to expose herself. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make.
They did not recognize it, but Jiang Chunai did.
As soon as she touched this white brocade, she knew what it was.
“This is the Quiescence Brocade… everyone who enters the Bright Snow Sect will have one of these.”
Back then, her Quiescence Brocade had been lost, and she had been framed by that Zeng Jun for it.
If not for Yan Linglong and the later Han Xiao’s help, the one who had been beaten would not have been Zeng Jun, but her.
“There are words on it,” Lan Xu said. “What does it say?”
Jiang Chunai took it, recited an incantation, and the crooked blue symbols instantly returned to their positions, turning into elegant, small regular script:
“I’m sorry, Senior Sister Chunai. Linglong can no longer betray you. Ever since you died, I have not had a single good day. I have never worn those complicated gold and jade ornaments again, and have been wearing mourning clothes, thinking this is mourning for you…”
“I can’t be like Senior Sister Han Xiao, who wanted to open your coffin to mourn for you. I can’t, I’m too weak, so I can only do this. I’ve been very happy with you these days, because it’s finally my turn to teach you swordsmanship.”
“At that time, you taught me swordsmanship and brought me food and drink. I’ve always remembered it in my heart, but I did something I shouldn’t have. That day in the village, I was being stubborn. I ran out by myself, and in the end, I couldn’t defeat the Bone Wolfman, and was even trapped in the valley by it.”
“It was you who came to save me.”
Reading this, there seemed to be tear stains in the following words—probably from Yan Linglong when she was writing this.
“I’m sorry, Senior Sister. This time I was being stubborn again. Someone is coming to catch you. You should run quickly. I told Su Yanchen that the meeting place is at Mount Qianyu… I deliberately had you bring Lan Xu and Zhi Zhi, thinking that you would definitely not be able to reach Mount Huang, so I deliberately left this Quiescence Brocade on the way.”
“In short, Little Junior Sister, I can no longer betray you.”
At the end of the reading, the three of them were stunned. Suddenly, they heard a loud bang, and the direction was south, at Mount Qianyu.
