Chapter 32 - Brother, "Comfort the Wounded Sister Bai" Part

The task of "comforting the wounded Sister Bai" in the game was very simple, and the process was short. As long as the players met Sister Bai by chance at the Heavenly Cloud Peak disciple residence, they could receive the task, consisting of placing a gift in front of Sister Bai's room every day for three consecutive days, and finally, she would come out of the house to acknowledge the task accomplishment.

The three gifts were a jar of osmanthus wine, a cloth doll, and a box of rice cakes.

Although Ye Anping had already prepared these three objects in advance, seeing Bai Yuexin's lost and despondent appearance now, he felt that if he copied the game and directly gave her the three objects, more than likely he would not be able to cheer her up.

He also didn't know how to comfort people.

"Hey---"

Ye Anping gently pulled down Bai Yuexin's coat a little, exposing a pair of fragrant shoulders, then used his spiritual power to activate the tranquilizing incense that had just been lit in the room and lightly daubed the muscle-relieving home-made sesame oil on her back. With a gentle technique, he accurately pressed the acupuncture points on her body.

Although Bai Yuexin was quite nervous at first, with the calming effect of the tranquilizing incense, she soon felt better, her head emptied, and she could fully enjoy Ye Anping's massage skills.

In the blank noise of the night wind blowing through the paper window, a moment later, the bitterness on Bai Yuexin's face dissipated.

Seeing she was a little better, Ye Anping asked, "Sister Bai, why are you dressed like this? I didn't even recognize you at first."

"...I resigned and will not be a disciple of the Black Star Sect from now on."

"Huh?!" Ye Anping was shocked.

Bai Yuexin resigned from the Black Star Sect?

What about his 20% discount shopping coupon? He still needed this discount to buy things!

"Sister, this... You should think about it more." Ye Anping tried to convince her. "There is no way back if you leave the Black Star Sect. You won't be able to come back, and the other sects basically won't accept you."

"Well... I've thought about it. People like me don't deserve to practice cultivation at all." Bai Yuexin smiled bitterly. "I plan to find a town to live in in the future, and I won't practice anymore. I will open a small shop with my savings, and then I'll find a husband or something..."

Ye Anping hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stopped what he was doing, pretending to be disappointed.

"Sister, if someone with such good spiritual root and aptitudes is not worthy of cultivation, aren't I even more unworthy with my dual spiritual roots? Did something happen today?"

"Today... during the sword test, I met two people." Bai Yuexin felt lost again and sighed. "Those two were clearly at a lower level than me, and they haven't cultivated as long as I have, but..."

Two people...

In the game, the defeat in front of Feng Yu Die should have overshadowed her psychologically. Could the second person be...

"Who are those two people?"

"One is Feng Yu Die, a girl with white hair. The other is Pei Lianxue, a little cultivator with three spiritual roots. I can accept losing to the former, but to lose against that Pei Lianxue, how could I still have the face to stay in the Black Star? I, a cultivator with a single spiritual root, can't even compare to someone with three spiritual roots... Sniff..."

While talking, tears began to roll in Bai Yuexin's eyes again. She turned her head and looked pitifully at Ye Anping.

Ye Anping felt momentarily embarrassed. He really forgot that Pei Lianxue, being Feng Yu Die's companion, was supposed to have Bai Yuexin as her sword test examiner.

He should have told her when she left the Hundred Lotus Sect to take it easy at the sword test and lose deliberately.

"How can there be such a thing... that girl with heavenly spirit root is fine, but why is a girl with three spiritual roots so powerful?! I have been cultivating hard every day according to my Master's request, and I haven't missed a day in the past few decades, so how come I can't beat a girl with three spiritual roots? God is so unfair."

"Ah... this... maybe it's just that Pei Lianxue person has some special situation?"

"But she is just a three spiritual root!!"

Ye Anping smiled awkwardly and then encouraged her. "Then, sister, you shouldn't give up on yourself like this. If you run away now, isn't that a sign of weakness? After this, won't the Black Star members say that you were chased away by two little girls? And what about your friends in the sect? If you leave, they will be sad too."

"..."

Bai Yuexin pursed her mouth, unable to retort, then flopped back onto the bed.

"Anyway, I've already written my farewell letter, and it's impossible to go back now. I don't want to think about it. I'm going to start a new life."T/his chapter is updatd by nv((l)biin.co/m

"Since you said that, doesn't that mean that in your heart, you actually don't want to leave the Black Star Sect? It's still not too late."

"..."

Bai Yuexin stopped talking, so Ye Anping couldn't continue to persuade her for now, he could only keep silent and continue to help her with physiotherapy.

Another quarter of an hour passed in that silence, and the physiotherapy session was over.

"How are you feeling now after the physio?"

"Hmm... the meridians are much clearer, how many spirit stones?"

"No charge today, it hasn't opened yet. I'll start charging money from tomorrow. This is my gift to you, sister. You helped me with the shop application, and I still haven't thanked you."

Bai Yuexin looked at him silently for a while, then with a flick of her hand, threw a small bag of spirit stones from her waist.

"That's a different matter. Take it, and... I'll be leaving."

As she said that, she re-fastened the belt she had untied before, cupped her hands to Ye Anping, and was about to leave.

Ye Anping sat there, hesitating, but he felt that he couldn't let Bai Yuexin go.

Forget about the "20% off coupon" that he had been thinking about for days.

He was not a disciple of the Black Star and couldn't enter the mountain gate. If he wanted to communicate with his sister in the future, he needed someone to run errands and deliver letters.

Bai Yuexin had a pure personality, didn't have any bad intentions, and her mind was not too sharp, so it was easier to gain her trust. Also, she has achieved good results in the Black Star Sect.

This was simply the best person to run errands for him.

Ye Anping rushed forward and reached out to pull her sleeve with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah... Sister, you see it's getting late, why don't you just rest here for the night and leave tomorrow? If you're in a bad mood, your flying sword might even fall down if you fly, won't it?"

"..."

Hearing Ye Anping's invitation to stay the night, Bai Yuexin instantly became alert.

But looking at his childish face that had not yet matured and listening to his voice that had not even changed, she relaxed her vigilance.

----And... If he really has some evil intentions... It's not impossible... Anyway, she won't be a disciple of the Black Star Sect in the future...

----Again... this handsome young man is still the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect... and... and... well-behaved... Although they had only met not long ago, he seemed to have a good personality...

----If he really wants to do something, then he will take responsibility from now on! Managing a shop with him in the future sounds pretty good...

"No, no, no, no! What am I thinking!!" Bai Yuexin suddenly patted her face and shook her head frantically.

"? ? ?"

Ye Anping didn't know what she had imagined that suddenly made her slap herself.

"Sister?"

"Ah..." Bai Yuexin came back to her senses, hesitated for a while, then turned her head to look at the night sky outside the house. "It's true... it's quite late. Won't it be troublesome for me to stay for tonight?"

"No, it's not troublesome, don't worry."

"Then... where do I sleep?"
