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

A few steps away, a small figure saw the gorgeously dressed girl leave, then timidly stepped forward and pulled Jiang Liqian's sleeve.

Her eyes were filled with worry. She glanced at the towering white jade staircase, then at Jiang Liqian, who still had a grim expression on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she timidly said, "Qianqian, are you...are you too tired? No...or else, how about we take a break?"

Jiang Liqian, who had just been reborn, was a little slow to react. She stared at the ragged little figure in front of her for a long time, until she hid behind her in fear. Only then did she suddenly remember who she was.

Yun Ruyi, her best friend in her previous life, was also the person who most decisively stabbed her in the back.

Even though she was disliked by her fellow disciples and exiled from the world of cultivation, she never thought that Yun Ruyi would betray her, and even join forces with her junior sister to spare no effort to throw dirty water on her.

It was only later that she found out that almost every time she was punished, it was her fault, but she was so grateful to her for her timely care every time, and was willing to share any treasures with her.

She still remembered that the first time she saw Yun Ruyi was in a dilapidated temple when she was fleeing from famine.

Yun Ruyi is the daughter of a concubine in a small family of immortal cultivators. Because her mother died early, she was driven out of the house by the legitimate wife and became homeless. She was timid and was always bullied by gangsters and beggars on the street. That time she was bullied so badly that her head was covered in blood. She couldn't bear it, so she carried her on her back and escaped from the gangsters. She went to each pharmacy, kowtowing and begging them to save her life.

Later she asked her if she wanted to cultivate herself to become an immortal so that she would never be bullied again.

She nodded.

She resolutely brought her to Tiangan Sect and climbed the endless ladder of heart-knocking with her.

She climbed quickly, and when she reached the top, there were many fairies sitting in the mist, their bodies emitting bright light. They looked at her and whispered something, but when she saw that Ruyi didn't come, she turned around and went down the stairs without saying a word, looking for her step by step.

Then he carried her up the Heart-Knocking Ladder step by step and carried her to the gate of Tiangan Sect.

But when was the last time she saw her in her previous life?

Oh, it seemed that when she was trying to kill the demons who had escaped from the outer world, she was pierced through the heart by a sword by her junior sister who was secretly watching her. A large amount of demonic energy was poured into her, causing her spiritual power to flow backwards and her meridians to be severed.

She was wearing a snow-white dress with gold-thread patterns and flowing clouds, like a fairy from heaven. She appeared gracefully, walked up to her condescendingly, and spoke to her.

"Jiang Liqian, you have come to this day."

She has finally come to this day? She has finally come to this day?

What happened to her today...Haha, it was just a joke, a joke that she could not figure out or understand.

Feeling a suffocating pain in her heart, Jiang Liqian immediately turned her head away, fearing that her red eyes would betray her current mood.

For many years, ever since she became the first disciple of the Tiangan Sect's leader, she has never cried again, but in just one day, it seemed as if she had shed all the tears of her life.

When one has been begging for a long time, it is easy to notice the fluctuations in other people's emotions. Yun Ruyi, who had been hiding timidly behind Jiang Liqian, was very sensitive to the changes in Jiang Liqian's emotions.

She didn't understand what was going on and blinked in confusion. She carefully pulled Jiang Liqian's sleeve again and asked timidly, "Qianqian, Qianqian, what's wrong with you? Did you accidentally get hurt while climbing the stairs? How about we go down and treat your injury first, and then we can climb again when you're better?"

Jiang Liqian couldn't control the chill in her heart. She pulled at her tattered sleeve and smiled coldly: "You only have one chance to become an immortal. If you go down with me, you will never have another chance to become an immortal. Are you willing?"

In her previous life, she had stabbed her in the back, and she was the only one who foolishly treated her as a sister, as a rare and close friend in her life. In this life, she no longer wanted to be a fool and watch her act.

The drama of sisterly love ended long ago when she watched her being infused with demonic energy and then being slandered for colluding with the demons.

Jiang Liqian didn't even wait for her to respond and turned around to leave.

In this life, she didn't know why she should continue to cultivate immortality, nor did she know what else she could do. She didn't want to set foot on this broken ladder again, nor did she want to see the Tiangan Sect where she had put so much effort.

Maybe only by leaving, staying away from everyone here, could she barely breathe a sigh of relief from the suffocation of her previous life.

However, unexpectedly, she heard Yun Ruyi's matter-of-fact and resolute voice: "Of course I agree. We agreed to share weal and woe and be good friends for life. If you don't want to be an immortal, then I won't be one either. We can still go begging together. We won't starve to death."

Her breathing suddenly stopped, Jiang Liqian's heart trembled, and she closed her eyes in pain.

So, at least at this time, does she still really regard her as a friend and is willing to be sincere to her?

But when did she become so cruel and hateful towards her?

With confused thoughts and sudden rebirth, Jiang Liqian felt pain in her heart, head, and breathing. There was no place on her body that didn't hurt.

She clenched her fists and didn't speak for a long time.

If it was Yun Ruyi from her previous life, she could have hated her ruthlessly and avenged her from her previous life on her, but the current Yun Ruyi was still timid and cowardly, with eyes full of that person.

She couldn't even move her hands.

Jiang Liqian wanted to laugh, to mock her own failure, to mock her own soft-heartedness, but now she couldn't even laugh.

She felt so tired that she couldn't describe it. Layer upon layer, weight upon weight, like a mountain, pressed down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

She even wondered, why should she be reborn? Why bother? Since no one wanted her to live anyway, wouldn't it be better to just die? Death would free her from all pain...

A hint of blood-red light slowly emerged from the ink-black eyes, but Jiang Liqian didn't notice it. She only felt a chill in her heart, and the colder it got, the more she wanted to end her life.

She...can no longer find the meaning of living.

No one needs her, everyone hates her and wishes she would die... Does that mean she deserves to die?

Yes, that's how it should be, that's how it should be...

"Qianqian, Qianqian, what's wrong with you?

"Qianqian, Qianqian, can you hear me?

"Qianqian, don't scare me, please, don't scare me, what's wrong with you? Qianqian!"

The sound of breaking air suddenly came from mid-air. Before Jiang Liqian could react, he was firmly controlled in the center by four formation flags engraved with messy patterns.

She subconsciously wanted to summon her natal Sword of Heaven, but when she was halfway through the summoning, she suddenly remembered that she had been reborn. Now she was not only a pitiful and skinny beggar, but also a dirty and disgusting mortal.
