Senior Sister Went Mad After My Fake Death Chapter 58

“What did you say?” Su Jianqing almost couldn’t stand steadily. Her originally cold and elegant face flushed, and she widened her eyes. “Only you are here, and Jiang Chunai has escaped?”
Yan Linglong stood in place, leaning against the large tree behind her. The swaying leaves cast layered shadows on her face.
“Yes,” she opened her lips with difficulty. Although it was hard to face, she still had to say it. “I can’t betray Senior Sister anymore.”
Su Yanchen raised an eyebrow. “You can’t betray your senior sister anymore… your senior sister, Jiang Chunai?”
“It’s not the first time,” Yan Linglong smiled bitterly. “I’ve betrayed Senior Sister Chunai more than once.”
At the thought of this, Yan Linglong felt her heart ache.
The senior sister who had been so good and generous to her, yet she had treated her in such a way—
When her cultivation was not deep, her senior sister had not cared which sect she was from and had taught her the Purple Lightning Green Frost Sword with all her heart, even though her original intention was not to learn the sword, but to spy on secrets and get close to the higher-ups;
when she had secretly snuck down the mountain, thinking she was finding a birthday gift for Han Xiao, in fact, without Senior Sister Chunai, she wouldn’t have been able to even come back;
and then the two of them had stayed in a commoner’s house. At night, she had heard a strange noise outside the window and had chased after it, only to be forced into a cave by a bone wolfman.
In the end, what did she do?
She had told Senior Sister Han Xiao, who had come upon hearing the news, that the demon was in the Cave of Severed Affections.
In the days and nights after her senior sister’s death, Yan Linglong had been in a state of unease.
Yan Linglong had originally thought that things would slowly pass, but she was wrong.
The pain she had thought was calm would always come unexpectedly.
Her Senior Sister Chunai was such a good person, yet she had died so miserably. Whenever she thought of it, Yan Linglong felt as if there was a howling forest in her chest, with wandering souls roaring within.
The sound was intense, the sound was heartbreaking. It was both the wailing of Senior Sister Chunai’s wronged soul, and her own wail for the crime she had committed.
But she was too weak. She couldn’t be like Senior Sister Han Xiao, who had grandly pried open Senior Sister Chunai’s coffin and said she wanted to revive her.
She was so weak, so weak that she could barely protect herself. It was impossible for her to do such a thing.
Besides mourning and remorse, she could not do anything more dramatic. She could only wake up in terror every midnight, every time she dreamed.
At some point, what was in her heart was no longer the heavy trust of her family, her childhood friend, but the Senior Sister Chunai she had failed.
It was precisely because she was so weak that she could no longer fail Senior Sister Chunai.
Heaven had eyes, and Senior Sister Chunai had come back to life.
This must be a chance given to her by heaven to atone for her so-called “unintentional” sins.
“I can’t betray Senior Sister Chunai anymore,” she repeated.
Su Yanchen seemed to have heard something incredible. “You can’t betray Senior Sister Chunai anymore?”
As she spoke, she actually laughed out of anger. “We came here to capture Jiang Chunai. We’ve come all this way, brought so many people, and this is the end you give us?”
Yan Linglong calmly watched the anger of these two Su sisters.
She knew more about Su Yanchen.
She was greedy for profit and wanted to capture Senior Sister Chunai to force Han Xiao out, set up a formation to kill her, and thus become famous;
as for Jianqing, her health was not good, and she needed Han Xiao’s bone marrow to be cured…
She could understand all of this.
The flush on Su Jianqing’s face had mostly disappeared. She forced a smile and said, “Linglong, I know you’re still young and can’t distinguish the priorities for a while. I won’t blame you for this. Afterwards, I won’t pursue what you’ve done.”
“You just need to tell me where she went,” Su Jianqing said with a smile, swaying as she walked towards Yan Linglong, who was leaning against a tree.
Looking at the beautiful and slender Jianqing, swaying with her sick body, walking towards her, Yan Linglong felt her heart grow even more bitter.
With tears in her eyes, she said, “Jianqing, I’m sorry. Your health has always been bad, I really hope you can live.”
Su Jianqing was still smiling. “Yes, I should live, I will live. I just need you to tell me where Jiang Chunai went. After you tell me, I can live.”
Her smile was as clear and gentle as what she had seen and liked as a child, but Yan Linglong could no longer feel that way.
Jianqing hadn’t changed, she was still so good.
The one who had broken was herself.
But Yan Linglong met Su Jianqing’s expectant gaze, shook her head, and said, “Yes, Jianqing, I’m sorry, I’ve betrayed your trust, and I also hope you can always live…”
Su Jianqing’s brows gradually flattened, the corners of her mouth almost lifting into a triumphant arc.
Hmph, Yan Linglong is Yan Linglong. Since she was a child, she has been my little follower, always at my beck and call.
Even though she had some other little thoughts now, as long as she said something, she would immediately come running and tell her where Jiang Chunai had gone.
“Yes, you just need to tell me,” Su Jianqing said, straightening her back even more. Her emotional peach blossom eyes were instantly tinged with a bit of flourishing, romantic charm. “I will continue to live. At that time, we can always be together…”
This was what she had once promised Yan Linglong.
However, Yan Linglong still stood in place, her gaze firm as she looked at her, and said softly, “But, Jianqing, I can’t fail Senior Sister Chunai anymore.”
The smile that had just appeared on Su Jianqing’s face instantly froze.
“Since we were children, I have never failed to complete a single thing you asked of me,” Yan Linglong sighed, her fingertips digging into her soft flesh. “And I have never failed you.”
“But on the contrary, I have failed Senior Sister Chunai too many times. This time, Senior Sister Chunai has finally come back to life. I can’t betray her anymore, I can’t fail her anymore!” As she spoke, she actually sobbed.
A crack instantly appeared on Su Jianqing’s previously calm and gentle face. She gritted her teeth. “Yan Linglong, are you mad?”
“Fail her, who is Jiang Chunai? And who am I? For Jiang Chunai, you don’t care if I live or die? I’ve lived for so many years, you’re not unaware of how hard it has been for me! You don’t know the pain of having talent but not being able to cultivate, you don’t know the pain of having a pair of feet that only after a dozen or so years can stand up and walk, while others learn to walk a few months after they are born!”
Yan Linglong looked at her calmly, at that face that was so familiar.
At this moment, it was ridiculously unfamiliar.
“Yes, Jianqing. Your life is a life, but is Senior Sister Chunai’s life not a life?” Yan Linglong was still calm.
But her calves were already trembling.
She knew clearly what a monstrous disaster she had committed.
Look, there was dust flying in the distance. It must be the people of the Bright Snow Sect.
“Intruders, surrender immediately! This is the territory of the Bright Snow Sect, no entry without permission!” a person shouted sternly, and flew to them.
The person who had come was none other than Jing Shun, with dozens of his junior disciples behind him.
Jing Shun frowned and recognized Su Yanchen at a glance. “Su Yanchen, why have you brought so many people to my sect’s territory today? You didn’t inform us…”
As he spoke, he looked elsewhere and saw Yan Linglong, her calves still trembling, under a vigorous pine tree.
Suddenly, a fierce light appeared on his face, and he looked as if he had understood. “Hmph, I knew it, as expected… your Mengling Immortal Manor’s ‘accidental’ arrival at the Zhaoyang Forbidden Ground last time was also intentional, wasn’t it?”
As he spoke, he laughed wildly and walked in front of Yan Linglong, sizing her up with a scrutinizing gaze. “Yan Linglong, ah, Yan Linglong, I thought you had ulterior motives when you came up the mountain. After all, you are the eldest young lady of the Jingcheng noble family. Why did you not go to the nearby immortal sects, but had to come to Mount Shu?”
Jing Shun was about to continue, but Yan Linglong directly cut him off and said, “I came to Mount Shu because I admire the Bright Snow Sect, the leader of the righteous path. Besides, I want to learn the sword, so coming to the Bright Snow Sect, is this reason satisfactory, Senior Brother?”
Satisfactory? Jing Shun had not expected Yan Linglong to suddenly cut him off and actually want to chat with him.
“Satisfactory? What am I satisfied with?” he was stunned for a moment, and then said, “You’ve brought so many people from the Mengling Immortal Manor. Are you not going to give me an explanation? You’ve been a spy in the sect for so long. What are your intentions!”
Yan Linglong gritted her teeth and continued, “Senior Brother, I was indeed a spy for the Mengling Immortal Manor at first, but I have never betrayed the sect. Because I have always felt that everyone in the Bright Snow Sect has treated me very well, and I also performed the disciple ceremony and became a disciple of my Master.”
“I have only had the Dao Lord as my master in my life, so I will not do anything to harm the sect…” she explained, her face flushing.
However, such words could not deceive Su Jianqing.
She was annoyed. “Yan Linglong, I asked you to tell me Jiang Chunai’s whereabouts, not to stall for time here!”
What was being lost with every passing second was not just time, but her life.
Su Jianqing had been waiting for this day for too long. She had even stubbornly stood up, which consumed her life even more.
But at that time, she felt it didn’t matter. After all, she could soon capture Jiang Chunai, and then use her as a handle to force Han Xiao to show herself. At that time, they would design a way to kill Han Xiao and get her bone marrow.
On that day, her life, which was about to end, would have a turning point.
But the accident came earlier than the turning point. In an instant, her originally hopeful life turned into an irreversible crisis.
Jing Shun, upon hearing the three words “Jiang Chunai,” was stunned and looked at Su Jianqing in disbelief. “What did you say?”
He seemed to be somewhat familiar with this fair and slender woman. He seemed to have seen her somewhere.
Perhaps when he went to Mengling, or at some competition?
This woman was wearing the moon-white, intricately embroidered long dress that only high-level cultivators of Mengling could wear. She didn’t look like an ordinary person.
“Jiang Chunai? Jiang Chunai is long dead. You spies with ill intentions, are you having a falling out among yourselves, and are now turning to bite our sect’s people!”
Su Yanchen, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, “Han Xiao has done so much evil. Do you think it’s not normal for her to have resurrected a Jiang Chunai?”
Jing Shun gave her a strange look and was even more undecided for a moment.
He had originally thought that Yan Linglong was in league with the people of the Mengling Immortal Manor and had her eyes on the secrets of the Bright Snow Sect, which was why he had asked for his master’s permission and brought people over to wipe them out. He had not expected the situation to have developed to this state.
“Alright, Linglong,” Su Jianqing seemed to feel that anger was useless and had resumed her spring-breeze-like gentle demeanor, and said persuasively, “Look, even your senior brother has come. Jiang Chunai is good, I admit that, but she has made Han Xiao so mad. Can she say she is not at fault at all?”
“But since you care about her so much, I won’t talk about Jiang Chunai. After all, our goal is only to capture Han Xiao. We just need Jiang Chunai as a gimmick to attract Han Xiao to show herself. At that time, she will still be your senior sister.”
This sounded nice.
However, Yan Linglong was no longer willing to believe Su Jianqing.
Indeed, her realization just now was right: from beginning to end, Su Jianqing had not changed.
She had always been this kind of person. Whatever was beneficial to her, she would say.
And she, Yan Linglong, had not changed either, always foolishly acting as her pawn.
“Jianqing, I said just now, your life is a life, and Senior Sister Chunai’s life is also a life. This time, I am willing to exchange my life for hers… you don’t have to think about getting any news of her from me.”
After a dispute, it fell into a strange silence.
Jing Shun stood in place, and was about to analyze the chaotic situation when Su Yanchen spoke coolly, “Daoist Jing, I admit that it was wrong for me to bring so many of our Mengling people here, but as for traitors, what are the rules in your Bright Snow Sect?”
Yan Linglong’s whole body trembled, a look of astonishment flashing in her eyes.
…Even though she was close to Jianqing, she was not without contact with Su Yanchen.
Jianqing had at least tried to reason with her, but Su Yanchen had directly had Jing Shun punish her.
“Even if you punish her, you won’t be able to escape,” Jing Shun sneered. “Su Yanchen, you have the nerve to say that? I’m telling you, you, your accomplices, and Yan Linglong, none of you should think of leaving Mount Shu today!”
“I also said that this is our fault, but compared to dealing with us, you should be more concerned about Han Xiao, right?” Su Yanchen also smiled, and then briefly recounted the matter.
After Su Yanchen finished, she even shrugged. “What do you think? That’s what happened. The most urgent matter is still to have this junior sister of yours tell us where Jiang Chunai has gone.”
Jing Shun gritted his teeth and looked at Yan Linglong. “Is what she said true? Jiang Chunai has been resurrected, and you let her go?”
Yan Linglong closed her eyes and nodded helplessly, very slowly, very slowly.
So what? She already owed Senior Sister Chunai a life. Now, even if she died here, it was what she deserved.
She had once killed Senior Sister Chunai with a malicious word. Now it was her time to compensate.
“You spy!” Jing Shun was furious. He quickly reached a consensus with Su Yanchen again. “Quick, tell me, where has Jiang Chunai gone?”
However, no matter how violent his words were, Yan Linglong was unmoved, just looking at him coldly, shaking her head, and saying, “I’m sorry, Senior Brother, I won’t tell you either.”
“Hmph…” Jing Shun’s anger did not subside, but he also thought that this had nothing to do with him directly. It would be better to return this hot potato to the Mengling Immortal Manor.
After thinking about it, his face slowly calmed down, and he said, “How about this, Yan Linglong is not a member of our Bright Snow Sect after all—as you just said, she and Su Jianqing are close, and she came to our sect to treat her illness. Let her go back to where she came from.”
Su Yanchen immediately replied, “Alright.”
After she finished, she gave a look to the person next to her and said in a low voice, “Let’s go, take Yan Linglong away!”
Just now, she had just wanted a word from Jing Shun. And Jing Shun had clearly understood her.
Su Yanchen had asked in advance how to punish her according to the Bright Snow Sect’s rules. Jing Shun was not willing, so this person would naturally fall into their Mengling’s hands.
In other words, the Bright Snow Sect had given up on Yan Linglong.
No one was her shield anymore. Without them having to go back to Mengling, perhaps right on the spot, as soon as Jing Shun turned and left, they could immediately pry open Yan Linglong’s mouth and make a move on her.
Yan Linglong listened and was stunned. How could she not know what kind of deal these two had made?
“Senior Brother?” she called out mournfully, but Jing Shun acted as if he had heard nothing, only looking at her with a look of disgust.
“You should go, Yan Linglong. From now on, there will be no place for you in the Bright Snow Sect. Go with them!” he urged.
A sharp light appeared in Su Yanchen’s eyes, and a faint blue light had already appeared in her hand. The next moment, she could directly enter Yan Linglong’s sea of consciousness—
With a “whoosh,” a barrier of water, like the Milky Way pouring down, the river rushing, descended from the sky, like a sword, rushing to fly, and finally, it blocked Su Yanchen.
In an instant, the wind whistled. Su Yanchen felt a sense of panic. She looked up and only saw a woman standing against the wind, her robes fluttering, sitting on the water barrier!
Her long hair was loose, her eyes and brows stained with the vicissitudes of age.
Seeing this, Jing Shun murmured, “Mei-Mei Cliff Master?”
“The people of the Bright Snow Sect are not for you to take away,” Mei Shengchi said in a deep voice, and with a light flick of her eyelashes, she took in the entire scene below.
She had already made her preparations today.
Jiang Chunai, Lan Xu, and Zhi Zhi were restless after seeing that Quiescence Brocade.
And on their way forward, they kept hearing the sound of fighting from the peaks behind them.
Zhi Zhi had lingering fears. “Senior Sister Chunai, do you think they won’t chase after us? If we’re discovered, Yan Linglong will surely be dead!”
Lan Xu followed behind and said, “If she were to die, she would have died long ago. But there’s still the sound of fighting…”
“She can’t do this much by herself. Someone helped her,” Jiang Chunai suddenly added.
Zhi Zhi was curious. “Then who could have helped her?”
As she spoke, she looked back and saw the mountains and the mist blending into one, with the brilliant light of the formation bursting out.
“It’s like a fierce battle. Wow, wow, that’s a sword formation!” Zhi Zhi suddenly became excited and pulled the hands of her two sisters. “Look at that sword formation, isn’t that something only a Bright Snow Sect elder can use? Eh, why do I feel that it’s somewhat similar to that Purple Lightning Green Frost Sword technique that Yan Linglong once taught us?”
Hearing this, Jiang Chunai’s heart pounded like a drum. When she looked up, the purple-green light shot straight into the sky, followed by some rainbow-colored energy.
…That was the formation of the Mengling Immortal Manor.
Such a sword formation, in the current Bright Snow Sect, there was only one person who could use it, right?
At that time, she had also taught her. At that time, Jiang Chunai had not been able to enter the state of no-thought and had not been able to learn it.
“A killing formation,” Lan Xu suddenly added. “The people of the Mengling Immortal Manor used a killing formation! Could it be that Han Xiao has arrived?”
Hearing this, Jiang Chunai’s face, which had been somewhat dazed and sad just now, suddenly turned resolute. “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.”
As she spoke, without saying a word, she pulled the arms of the two of them and walked forward quickly.
Zhi Zhi was completely confused. “Ah? Senior Sister, Senior Sister Chunai, wait, wait! Why are we suddenly walking so fast?”
Even if it was the people of the Mengling Immortal Manor, they should be fighting with Yan Linglong and the people of the Bright Snow Sect now. Why were they suddenly running so hastily?
“There’s no time!” Jiang Chunai knew there was no time to explain and just told them to hurry up. “Let’s go, let’s leave this place, the farther the better.”
Cliff Master Mei had used her hidden sword formation, and Mengling was not to be outdone, and had actually used a killing formation against her.
…The battle was almost at an end, a tragic and bleak ending of either you die or I die.
Jiang Chunai had a strong premonition in her heart, and at the same time, she also had a wish.
She hoped they could all survive.
“Eh, Senior Sister Chunai, I’m so tired. How much longer do we have to run?” Zhi Zhi was almost out of breath and looked at Jiang Chunai helplessly.
Lan Xu just held her tongue. Whatever Jiang Chunai did, she followed, and had not said a word. Zhi Zhi was used to it.
So, the first thing Zhi Zhi said when she stopped was to ask Senior Sister Chunai what had happened.
However, the person who answered her was not Senior Sister Chunai, but an ethereal voice, as if it had come from the treetops.
“It’s fine now. There’s no way for you to go anywhere.”
Suddenly, a tall woman who had been standing on the treetops lightly flew down and looked at them with a smile. “No matter where you want to run, you can’t. Yan Linglong has thought so much, yet she’s still so stupid.”
The woman’s demeanor was graceful. Although it was clear that she was a bit old, her every move revealed her nobility.
“Tell me, why didn’t she just tell you, Jiang Chunai?” that woman approached with a charming smile. “Actually, she’s just afraid. She’s afraid of your answer, that it will make her even more uneasy, so she resorted to this, choosing to sacrifice herself and let the three of you run away. What a pity, she can’t be smart.”
Zhi Zhi was terrified and suddenly seemed to understand Senior Sister Chunai’s haste just now.
The “no time” she had mentioned, was this what she meant?
The battle was over, and they would be free to chase after them.
Jiang Chunai looked at the newcomer warily, and at the same time, she secretly formed a hand seal, preparing to cast a spell, and asked, “Who are you?”
“Who am I?” the woman had a peachy face and almond eyes, and was very beautiful. She spoke softly and gently. “I am Yuanlin Zhenren.”
Yuanlin Zhenren.
Jiang Chunai had heard this name before. Before, Cliff Master Mei had mentioned her name—
At that time, she and Cliff Master Mei had just met. And the matter of the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation had been told to Mei Shengchi by Yuanlin Zhenren.
The entire Mengling Immortal Manor, from top to bottom, not a single one was a good person. This was Jiang Chunai’s current thought.
But she had to remain calm and pretend to be composed. “It’s Zhenren. I’ve heard of you. Why did you suddenly come here? I heard that a group of your esteemed immortal manor’s people have come to the Bright Snow Sect. As a sect elder, why don’t you go back and see them?”
“It’s the Nine Sages of Mengling.”
A playful smile lingered on Yuanlin Zhenren’s lips. She had been smiling at Jiang Chunai all along and finally said, “I told you, you young people, the things you think of are very simple.”
“I know what you’re thinking, right, your right hand is still secretly forming a hand seal to cast a spell. You want to escape?” Yuanlin Zhenren mercilessly exposed her. “As for, you already know that it’s our immortal manor’s people who have come. Then you should also be able to guess why I’m here, right?”
“…Of course it’s because we’ve killed the people who were in our way,” Yuanlin Zhenren’s eyes curved into a smile, her tone still gentle, but her words were terrifying to the extreme. “Guess, who else can save you now?”
