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

Jiang Liqian turned her head away, clutched the quilt beneath her, and endured the intense pain from applying medicine on the wound, not wanting to make Shui Lian'er worry even more.

Hearing her ask this, she was slightly stunned and then smiled bitterly.

"Perhaps, I am not someone favored by God, so I am always despised by others."

"How could that be?!" Shui Lian'er immediately retorted, "Li Qian, you're very good, very good. No one would ever dislike you. If anyone does, it's that person's fault."

Jiang Liqian didn't expect that she was so highly regarded in Shui Lian'er's mind. After being surprised, countless dense and dense sour feelings surged into her heart.

Is this recognition of her?

No matter how hard she tried, no matter how much she gave, she could never get what she wanted...

"Lianlian," she closed her eyes, her voice dry and muffled, "Don't be so nice to me, really..."

She could no longer exchange sincerity for sincerity like she did.

Perhaps one day in the future, she will not be able to change her fate as a supporting female character, and will once again become the public enemy of the cultivation world. She doesn't want to see the disappointment in her eyes.

What she didn't expect was that this time, there was another person who wanted to kill her.

-

After closing the door, Shui Lian'er saw Hong Yun sitting in the yard at a glance. Her eyes lit up and she ran over immediately.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Hong Yun shook her head at her without saying anything, but took out a small jade bottle and placed it at the door of Jiang Liqian's room.

She took Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao down the mountain.

On the way, Shui Lian'er felt uncomfortable everywhere. She kicked the stones on the road with all her strength, looking annoyed.

Qin Beiyao glanced at her, then glanced at Master Hongyun, silently without saying a word.

Hong Yun was not used to her girl suddenly becoming so quiet. She glanced at her, blew a breath on the nail polish she had just dyed, and said, "If you have something unhappy in your heart, just say it directly. Don't suffocate yourself."

Shui Lian'er pouted, and her eyes immediately turned red when she thought of Jiang Liqian's pale and fragile appearance.

"Mother!" She stopped and pulled Hong Yun's sleeve. "I know the Sect Leader is very powerful, and I also know that having his guidance is a rare blessing, but, but..."

She pursed her lips, her heart hardened, and she said angrily: "Can you tell the master that my Li Qian is no match for him? If she gets hit by a few more swords, she will die!"

Hong Yun's face suddenly turned cold, and she scolded her: "Lian'er, shut up!"

Shui Lian'er suddenly closed her mouth, and large patches of mist gathered in her eyes.

Qin Beiyao became anxious and subconsciously protected her in front, but he immediately thought that this action was an offense to a powerful god. His face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to move aside.

Hong Yun looked at him in surprise, and the anger that had risen in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

Her beautiful and slender little finger hooked the black hair that fell on the side of her cheek. Her eyes moved back and forth between Qin Beiyao and Shui Lian'er several times, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Lian'er, I know you have a kind heart and love to stand up for the weak, but the Sect Master is different. As long as you are still a disciple of the Qiankun Sect, you must never disrespect the Sect Master again.

"Master, when you do something, you must be measured, have a reason, and have a plan. Do you understand?"

Shui Lian'er didn't understand why her mother, who had always doted on her, was so harsh to her today. She was not convinced and opened her mouth to make some excuses, but her eyes met her mother's serious expression, which she had never had before. She bit her lip and swallowed the words back.

Seeing that Hong Yun and Shui Lian'er would no longer quarrel, Qin Beiyao quietly stepped aside.

Hong Yun was quite satisfied with the boy's tact and looked him up and down again.

Well, he looks good. He will definitely be more handsome when he grows up.

"Alright, don't be so angry. Although Qian'er was injured this time, she must have gained a lot from fighting with the master's sword energy. If she can comprehend it more, she will definitely reach a higher level. It's not a bad thing."

Hong Yun softened her attitude and raised her hand to touch her head.

"His injuries look scary, but they're just flesh wounds. They'll heal in a day or two. If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship on the path to becoming an immortal, you won't make it far."

Shui Lian'er pursed her lips, her eyes still wet: "But, mother, I always feel that Xiao Douya is particularly pitiful, so pitiful that I can't describe it."

Hong Yun just thought she was being soft-hearted because of a child, so she put her arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Okay, Mom will make some more delicious food these days, and you can bring it to Qian'er so that she can have some good nourishment."

"Mother, are you serious?"

Hongyun nodded.

"That's great, mother, you really are the best!"

......................................................

Because Qin Beiyao still had a test to take, Shui Lian'er accompanied him back to the square.

By this time, the test was almost halfway through, and what had just happened seemed like a minor incident, and no one paid any attention to it in a flash.

The competition on the arena was still intense. Everyone's eyes were focused on the stage, and no one could spare a moment to pay attention to anything else.

This is how the world of cultivation works. On the road to becoming an immortal, you have to bear the consequences of your own suffering and happiness.

However, among these gazes, there were two people whose focus was not on the fight between the disciples on the stage, but on searching among the crowd below. When they saw Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao coming back, they immediately squeezed towards them.

Shui Lian'er was muttering to Qin Beiyao, telling him not to be careless. Although he had done well in the last quiz, even a pig knows that no one uses their full strength in a quiz, so he must not be arrogant.

Qin Beiyao listened carefully.

Suddenly, two voices sounded simultaneously, one from the left and one from the right.

"Fellow Daoist Qin!"

"Sister Lian'er!"

"..." Qin Beiyao's expression paused, and he felt a little unhappy about being interrupted.

Unfortunately, the two people who were specially invited did not have this awareness.

Instead, when they heard the other person's voice, they frowned at the same time.

Shui Lian'er first looked at Yun Ruyi who was calling her, then looked at Gu Chengxue who was calling Qin Beiyao, and blinked in confusion.

"You... have something to do with us?"

They both nodded at the same time.

Yun Ruyi asked before Gu Chengxue could, her expression concerned: "Sister Lian'er, can I ask if Qianqian's injury is okay? Does she have any healing pills? If not, I can find some for her."

What Gu Chengxue was about to say had already been said by Yun Ruyi, so there was no point in repeating it, so he silently closed his mouth, but looked at Shui Lian'er, clearly telling her that he also wanted to know the answer to this question.

Shui Lian'er was not very familiar with Gu Chengxue, so she automatically ignored his gaze and turned to look at Yun Ruyi.

Although she knew that Li Qian didn't like this person, she came to care about Li Qian after all. She could hear the anxiety in her tone and did not hide it. She told them what her mother had said to her.

"It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious."
