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

Jiang Liqian was stunned.

After a long moment, she muttered absentmindedly: "No hatred, no sadness, is it possible..."

is it possible?

impossible.

The light in his eyes dimmed instantly, and Jiang Liqian stood up from the ground. Only then did he realize that the tearing pain he had just felt had disappeared without him noticing.

How is this going?

She didn't remember having any physical problems.

"It was the little master who released Xinxin. Xinxin absorbed the negative energy in the little master's heart when the little master was in the most pain, so the little master can no longer feel the pain."

Jiang Liqian frowned: "But why did I suddenly..." She paused and hesitantly placed the heart on her shoulder in the palm of her hand.

Xinxin rubbed Jiang Liqian's fingers and smiled, "It's because of Xinxin. Xinxin is the little master's inner demon. Every time the little master has an emotional breakdown and her heart collapses, Xinxin's abilities will be enhanced. However, when this happens, the little master will suffer the backlash of the inner demon. Xinxin can only help the little master relieve the pain temporarily."

"Young Master, practice quickly. Only by constantly strengthening your own strength can you suppress the backlash of the inner demon in your body. Xinxin will accompany you.

"Every time the young master ascends a small realm, he can suppress 5% of the inner demon's backlash. If he experiences enlightenment or his mind is greatly opened, he can suppress it even more. But on the contrary, if the young master does not practice, the backlash will slowly devour the young master's body. In the end, the young master will no longer be the young master."

Jiang Li pursed her lips and slowly sat down against the wall.

"You mean, if I don't practice, I will die, right?"

Xinxin nodded without hesitation: "Yes, if the inner demon is not suppressed, the backlash value will increase. With the young master's current body and strength, I'm afraid he will die within a month."

"So how much backlash have I suffered now?"

"Fifty percent. That's a good start."

Jiang Liqian was silent for a moment, then asked her, "You will always tell me how much I've been bitten by your inner demon, right?"

"Well, yes, as long as the young master wants to know."

Jiang Liqian buried her head in her knees. The watery moonlight outside the window fell on her body bit by bit, like a layer of frost, but the person in the frost could not feel the slightest bit of cold.

Because her heart died in her previous life.

"Xinxin, will you stay with me?" Until the end of my life.

If she could still have a little hope, at least this time she didn't want to die alone.

Even if it is said to an inner demon.

Xinxin could feel all the emotions in Jiang Liqian's heart. Her eyes warmed up, and she flew to her cheek again, hugging her gently with both hands.

"My little master, everything in the world will leave you as time goes by. Only Xinxin will always be in your heart and accompany you forever."

-

Jiang Liqian didn't plan to tell anyone about her inner demon. Others couldn't see Xinxin's existence, and they couldn't notice the influence of the inner demon on her.

With Xinxin telling her the backlash value, Jiang Liqian didn't have to worry about suddenly losing control and hurting others. In fact, she didn't think she could live long.

A life span of less than a month is too short to be worth mentioning for cultivators who live for hundreds or thousands of years, but it seems too long to Jiang Liqian now.

She thought about committing suicide, but every time she had this thought, her head would hurt so badly that she simply gave up.

The next day was the apprenticeship ceremony. Jiang Liqian hadn't slept all night and looked very tired, especially with the mess on the floor. She didn't know how to explain it to her master. She hurriedly cleaned up for half the night, but still couldn't restore it to its original state.

When Zhongdao came, Jiang Liqian stood uncomfortably in a corner by the door with her head down, as if she had made a serious mistake and was too guilty to look up.

Chongdao was surprised at first, then he glanced around the room and didn't find anything serious. When his eyes swept over Jiang Liqian's arm exposed outside the sleeve, his pupils shrank and he stepped forward instantly.

When I pulled her hand over, I found that her entire palm was covered with bloodstains, many of which were cuts from porcelain shards.

"what happened?"

Jiang Liqian hesitated, not knowing how to explain.

Zhongdao frowned: "Did someone bully you?"

Jiang Liqian quickly shook her head: "It's just... I was just careless. The table... the table is too high, I can't reach it, so... I fell, I fell a little..."

After stammering and telling the lie, Jiang Liqian's face couldn't help but turn red.

In both her past and present lives, she had never done anything to deceive her master. Now she was asked to lie to Zhongdao, who had done her a favor. She really couldn't help but be nervous.

This is what it means to be a good boy for too long. Jiang Liqian also feels helpless.

Fortunately, Zhongdao did not ask any further questions. Instead, he took out a bottle of ointment, carefully applied it to her wound, and touched her head with heartache.

"It's my fault. You're still young, and it's not convenient for you to live alone." Zhongdao thought for a moment and said, "How about this? After the apprenticeship ceremony, you can live with your third senior sister. Firstly, she can take care of you. Secondly, if you have any questions or difficulties, she can help you in time. When you grow up, you can choose a place you like."

Jiang Liqian had rarely been taken care of so carefully and thoughtfully, and no one had ever considered anything for her. She had always been alone.

Because she is the omnipotent eldest sister, the future pillar of Tiangan Sect, and the first disciple of the sect leader who is extremely talented and must be looked up to by everyone.

Everyone respected her, feared her, and was in awe of her strength, but her master was always indifferent and critical of her.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you, Master."

Zhongdao laughed and said, "We are master and disciple, why should I thank you? Let's go, it's time to pay my respects to you."

Jiang Liqian suppressed the warmth in her heart and followed Zhongdao closely.

In Zhenfeng, no matter where you go, you don't need to use flying spiritual tools. The formations spread all over the mountain are enough for the disciples of Zhenfeng to move back and forth freely in the peak. Not only does it not consume spiritual power, it also saves a lot of time. Basically, you can go wherever you want in the blink of an eye.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you can find the right teleportation array, otherwise you don’t know where you will be teleported to in the array peak.

The apprenticeship ceremony was held in the Glazed Hall, with Zhongdao sitting at the head. After Jiang Liqian respectfully paid homage to the Three Pure Ones and the Patriarch, she bowed her head respectfully to Zhongdao.

"Master, please have some tea."

Chongdao was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He took the teacup and took a sip, then immediately took out a storage ring and gave it to Jiang Liqian as a gift.

Jiang Liqian wanted to refuse, but thinking that this was a gift from her master and it was thoughtful of her, she accepted it. At worst, she could return it to her master after she was gone.

"Your fourth senior brother went on a long trip a few days ago and hasn't had time to come back yet. Here are your eldest senior brother, second senior brother, and third senior sister."
