Ye Yu gazed downward at the Immortal Sect ruins for a long time.
Then his figure flickered, descending rapidly.
Before long, he brought someone out from [N O V E L I G H T] the ruins.
It was An Jinqiu, City Lord of Yourong City!
Honestly, when Ye Yu first sensed her aura, he was very surprised.
Despite being heavily wounded, she had survived an ambush by two Immortal King Realm opponents?
It was nothing short of a miracle!
No wonder An Jieyue’s wish hadn’t been fulfilled — this was the reason.
Ye Yu let out a deep sigh.
He looked down at the unconscious An Jinqiu.
Above his head, three wishes refreshed:
After reading these, Ye Yu’s expression became strange.
The second wish was basically the same as before, clearly easing the sisterly relationship had become an obsession for An Jinqiu.
There was no doubt about that.
But the first — to have An Jieyue safely return to Yourong City — wasn’t that already done?
She had safely returned yesterday...
Well, no, it seemed she only got to thirty li outside the city and stopped, then went out searching for An Jinqiu’s whereabouts.
Strictly speaking, An Jieyue had not yet returned inside Yourong City.
But this wish wasn’t difficult.
As long as An Jieyue was alive, it could be easily fulfilled.
Still, the white-tier wish’s appeal was clearly no match for the two green-tier wishes.
Those were rewards Ye Yu had never earned before and would surely be generous.
Looks like An Jinqiu was a small mobile treasure trove.
Keeping her might help complete two green wishes.
Thinking this, Ye Yu didn’t hesitate and immediately took her away from the ruins.
Several hours later,
the unconscious An Jinqiu slowly woke, finding herself in a mountain range.
The surroundings were very unfamiliar.
She tried to rise instinctively but felt pain all over; her energy was thoroughly disrupted.
“Don’t move,” Ye Yu said, sitting cross-legged nearby.
He took out a healing immortal pill from his storage ring.
Then he added, “I don’t have any higher-grade spirit medicines, just this one. Make do!”
An Jinqiu stared at Ye Yu for a long moment, then raised her hand to accept the pill and whispered, “Thank you.”
“So I’m not dead after all!”
Hearing that, Ye Yu couldn’t help smiling, “Yes, you’re not dead.”
“To survive heavily wounded, escaping two Immortal King Realm masters’ ambush—truly no easy feat.”
“However, my advice is: don’t return to Yourong City yet.”
“If those two Immortal King old men find out you’re alive, they’ll definitely come looking for you. I won’t be able to stop them.”
An Jinqiu looked blankly at the cliff wall above and said calmly, “I already killed them; no need to worry.”
Ye Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
“What?”
“At first, he thought An Jinqiu had been lucky, escaping by a hair’s breadth.”
“But unexpectedly, she was truly a woman of fate.”
“Severely injured, she counterattacked and killed two opponents of the same realm—and still lived.”
“Isn’t that the epitome of fate’s chosen one, the protagonist’s aura?”
“After all, those were Immortal Kings—not stray dogs on the road!”
“Ye Yu really wanted to say one word to her: awesome!”
Before he could speak,
An Jinqiu asked again, “Where is my sister? Have you seen her?”
Ye Yu said flatly, “She’s in better condition than you. After she couldn’t find you, she began searching all over the Heavenly Realm. I don’t know where she is now.”
An Jinqiu’s eyes brightened.
“My sister is looking for me?”
“How long has it been since that happened?”
“She must also think I’m likely dead, right? No, I have to contact her quickly so she won’t worry.”
An Jinqiu gathered her remaining immortal energy and took out a communication stone from her storage ring, ready to contact An Jieyue.
But at that moment, Ye Yu pressed down her hand.
“If you want to contact your sister now, I don’t think it’s necessary.”
“The reason she’s searching for you is because she feels guilty, seeing you risk your life to save her.”
“But if she knows you’re alive, she’ll feel more at ease, yes, but she’ll also keep trying to escape Yourong City.”
“It’s better to use this chance to figure out how to remove the thorn in your sisters’ hearts and restore your relationship—that’s the real priority.”
“Tell each other about the past; if you keep it inside, it will suffocate you.”
Hearing this, An Jinqiu’s eyes suddenly filled with terror.
Looking at the familiar yet strange face before her, she trembled, “Who... who exactly are you?”
Ye Yu said softly, “I am a certified psychological counselor with the ability to see through the heart, but rest assured, I mean no harm.”
“I sincerely want to help you and An Jieyue untangle your knots.”
“So, some things need to be said!”
“Otherwise, do you really plan to hide it for a lifetime, living with your sister as if you were mortal enemies?”
An Jinqiu clenched her teeth, then closed her eyes.
After thinking for a long while, she finally began to speak about the past.
On the night the Suguang Immortal Sect was destroyed,
An Jinqiu was originally in the main hall, handling sect affairs.
Her father, An Kuangming, had gone out looking for their mother, Yun Jiexin.
After giving birth to An Jieyue, their mother suddenly left without warning,
abandoning both children to An Kuangming.
An Jinqiu had seen all the hardships involved.
She also deeply felt that An Kuangming didn’t deserve it.
She felt her father and mother were from two parallel worlds.
One was family-oriented, the other dedicated solely to cultivating the Dao.
She truly didn’t understand why they got together.
Moreover, An Jinqiu had repeatedly advised her father not to waste effort.
“If she was cruel enough to leave the three of you behind, why look for her now? Will she really come back?”
