Chapter 1602: Chapter 1582: Woon Xin, the Youngest Junior Sister
"Sister Shiqi can just call me Woon Xin." The young girl lifted her veil, quickly stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth, then quickly put it down.
Qhianqhian looked at this little girl perplexedly. To say she had some special purpose, it really didn’t seem like it, but the reason for seeking her out was still quite curious, since she wasn’t exactly someone worth a special invitation, right?
Now the evaluations of her mostly reflect cruelty and cold-heartedness, right? Though she looks like a very ordinary little girl.
"Sister Shiqi." Swallowing the food, Woon Xin finally spoke, her face full of seriousness: "Can I join the Nine Heavens Pavilion?"
"??!!" Qhianqhian’s mouth opened in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
Why would the little junior sister from the Ten Thousand Sect want to join the Nine Heavens Pavilion? Is she joking?
"What’s your little junior sister up to?" Mo also looked at Bai Jian with curiosity. He didn’t think Qhianqhian would agree to such a thing, but it helps to know the reason behind such a sudden thought to better refuse, right?
Just like how they were aware of Qhianqhian talking with the little junior sister, Qhianqhian could also understand their conversation.
"...She likes to eat." Bai Jian was silent for a moment before giving this reason, but the frown that followed suggested another underlying motive.
"And what else?" He Wenyu also sensed something was off and hurriedly asked.
If it’s just for food, coming to the Forget Worries Tea House to buy it is fine, there’s no need to join the Nine Heavens Pavilion.
Though they weren’t afraid of any double agent, since even if Woon Xin joined the Nine Heavens Pavilion, she wouldn’t have access to any secrets.
"Before me, there was a genius in our sect." Bai Jian turned his head, looking at those two figures, the pink-cheeked Woon Xin and Qhianqhian in her blue skirt sitting together, looking very much like sisters: "He was our senior master and the most promising first person."
Qhianqhian raised her eyebrows in surprise. Since meeting Bai Jian, hadn’t he already been the first person at the Ten Thousand Sect?
So this matter happened before she knew them?
"He died before returning to the Cultivation World, killed by Shui Yuntian, the first at Water Ripple Sect, under a covenant of fate where neither side could seek revenge. This was witnessed by the sect masters of both sects, and even then, there were people watching from sects in the Cultivation World that couldn’t oppose it, leaving no room to refute. Shui Yuntian held a Divine Beast, while he had nothing, losing absolutely. If it were only a loss, that’d be fine, but Shui Yuntian struck lethally when he was severely injured." Bai Jian spoke emotionlessly, without any extra expression: "That deceased senior brother was named Wen Chu, Woon Xin’s dear brother."
"!!!" Qhianqhian was instantly shocked, while opposite her, Woon Xin maintained a calm expression, as if unaware, just lifting her veil to sip some tea.
"She knew about Shiqi before, but she had no desire to make acquaintance, even when offered things from Shiqi." Bai Jian chuckled wryly: "Her attitude seemed to change when Shiqi’s revenge story became known. From then on, she started pestering me about what kind of person Shiqi was."
Qhianqhian looked questioningly at the delicate girl in front of her, softly asking: "You want to avenge your brother, right?"
Woon Xin’s eyes flickered, but she met Qhianqhian’s gaze openly: "Yes!"
"Your brother would be so happy to have a sister like you." Qhianqhian paused briefly before softly speaking: "But every brother hopes for his sister to live happily and carefree, without being consumed by hatred. Your brother wouldn’t want you to lose the simple joys in life due to revenge."
"Then why do you still..." Woon Xin knitted her brows tightly, having heard such words countless times, yet her heart had never wavered.
"Oh, I act on impulse. Compared to the reasoning others give, I prefer taking revenge with my own hands. With all cards on the table, I may not be weak, right?" Qhianqhian calmly looked at Woon Xin: "But you, with that Water Ghost, should have quite a gap, right?"
"...But..."
"I wouldn’t persuade you not to seek revenge. Taking vengeance on enemies is life’s sweet joy." Qhianqhian flashed a toothy smile, making Bai Jian feel his forehead vein twitch.
"It’s just, you’re still too weak. If it were me, do you know what I’d do?" Qhianqhian spoke calmly to the saddened young girl.
"What would you do?" Her wide eyes filled with confusion and sorrow.
She was well aware of the opponent’s strength, hence her frequent capriciousness and mischief, distracting herself from the anxiety of this matter.
"I’d use my brother’s sword, use my brother’s sword skills, and take his head to honor my brother. Even if the time is long, if one year isn’t enough then ten years, if ten years aren’t enough then twenty years, ultimately I’m still young with limitless possibilities." Qhianqhian smiled at Woon Xin: "Even though the foe who hurt my brother has been dealt with by me, I’d still target his sect. After all, he was just one person, if not acting under some instruction, why would he strike brutally? You know, my brother nearly wasn’t around too."
Woon Xin’s confused eyes gradually became resolute, yet soon doubt lingered: "But can I really achieve that? My brother was the most talented..."
"Have you heard this saying?"
"What?"
"A tiger father doesn’t raise a dog son. Such an excellent brother wouldn’t have a silly sister!"
"...Yes, my brother was so great, how could I be a fool?!" Determination gleamed in Woon Xin’s eyes then she looked at Qhianqhian with gratitude: "Thank you, Sister Shiqi."
"I was just rambling... Um," seeing Woon Xin’s puzzled look, quickly explained: "I was just talking the talk. When facing reality, I get scared too. You’ve heard about me slicing up people, right? To this day, I still can’t bring myself to eat meat. It makes me nauseous."
Woon Xin looked at Qhianqhian in surprise: "Really? Then I should give it a try... Maybe if I never want to eat meat again, it would save our sect a big food expense."
Bai Jian was left speechless, the entire Ten Thousand Sect doesn’t need Woon Xin’s share of food, right?
"No, no." Qhianqhian waved her hand: "See, I avoid meat and end up eating more pastries, they’re more expensive than meat."
"But pastries are delicious." Woon Xin immediately countered.
"But pastries are pricier." Qhianqhian successfully argued back using Woon Xin’s own words.
Woon Xin pouted, yet her face lost its initial anxiety, instead appearing free of heavy heart, her eyebrows and eyes glowing.
