Chapter 169: My Senior Brother Wouldn’t Be Like This
Hmph, let’s see if I can scare you to death.
He wanted to see how Ye Jingxian would feel hearing that he liked a man.
Lin Qingyue stared at him with teasing eyes. Ye Jingxian went from stunned to being unable to recover for a long time.
“Then do you like him?” Ye Jingxian looked at Lin Qingyue.
This question left the person not knowing how to answer. How could Lin Qingyue have known he would ask this?
Logically, shouldn’t he be surprised that he actually liked a man?
Lin Qingyue asked, “You aren’t surprised you like men?”
“Liking someone has nothing to do with men or women.”
This was similar to what his Da Shixiong had said back then. A trace of sorrow flashed in Lin Qingyue’s eyes.
He missed Da Shixiong. Not this Da Shixiong before him separated by time and space, but the one who had accompanied him ever since he entered the sect.
Perhaps the longing in his eyes was too obvious; Ye Jingxian saw it. He said, “You like me too, right?”
One sentence startled him. Lin Qingyue subconsciously retorted, “We’ve only known each other for how long? How could I possibly like you?”
“Didn’t you say we could be the same person? Isn’t liking him liking me?”
“He is him, you are you. How can it be the same?”
“So you like him, but not me.”
“Of course.” Lin Qingyue sensed something wrong after speaking. “No, I… whether I like my Da Shixiong or not, what does it have to do with you?”
He was somewhat annoyed after speaking. How was this Ye Jingxian even more shameless than his Da Shixiong?
“Then it is love,” Ye Jingxian laughed.
What kind of feeling was this? In short, it was very marvelous. They were the same person, yet also different existences. The feeling of being and not being oneself was indescribable.
At this moment, his feelings toward Lin Qingyue were exceptionally complicated.
“So why did you come?” For me? Ye Jingxian didn’t ask the latter part.
Somehow withdrawn, not wanting to admit it but forced to admit it, Lin Qingyue sighed at the question.
“I don’t know. My senior brother, sister, and I were in the Three Lives Mirror Ruins. First, we met the Mayfly Flower Spirit, then encountered the Realm Gate and got pulled in. I don’t know why I came exactly either.”
Lin Qingyue suddenly felt tired. He hadn’t rested since entering here. He spoke subconsciously, “Da Shixiong, I’m so tired. I really want to sleep.”
Ye Jingxian looked at the only bed in the room beneath him and sat up. “You come sleep.”
Actually, after Lin Qingyue spoke, he realized this wasn’t his original Da Shixiong.
Seeing him giving up the bed, he was scared into hurriedly saying, “No need, no need.”
Using a patient’s bed—he wasn’t sleepy enough to be that devoid of conscience.
In fact, after Ye Jingxian finished speaking, he was instantly wide awake.
Ye Jingxian’s movement paused. This was nothing, yet he felt inexplicably unhappy in his heart.
“Since that is the case, then never mind.”
Lin Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief. “Da Shixiong, I want to know what exactly happened. Why has the cultivation world become like this?”
“Why did Senior Brother Zhou say our Ten Thousand Swords Sect bears infamy and the sect is no longer the sect of the past? What exactly happened in between? Where did Shizun and Second Shijie go? And where did those half-demons come from? Who is manipulating all this?”
With every question Lin Qingyue asked, his heart grew a bit heavier, but he desperately wanted to know what had happened. This was the future; if he went back, he might have a chance to avoid it.
He knew mentioning Shizun would hurt Ye Jingxian, but he still wanted to hear him say exactly what happened personally.
Ye Jingxian was silent. In the current situation, could anyone be blamed?
Blame Sword Dao Peak? But after learning they had made a mistake and trusted the wrong person, to make amends, the entire peak perished. Martial Uncle Qi’s Dao heart shattered; he went mad and finally died under siege.
Blame the sect for not investigating clearly when accepting disciples? But they were also kept in the dark, knowing nothing.
Blame himself? If only he had discovered and stopped everything earlier.
But no one could be blamed. No one could see clearly or discover the clues. Blame who? They had no one to blame.
It wasn’t just the Ten Thousand Swords Sect; other sect disciples also met with accidents. Half-demons used demons to deal with the sects; it was their negligence back then.
“Lin Shidi, remember, after you go back, do not let sect disciples go to the Forbidden Ruins.”
“Forbidden Ruins?” Lin Qingyue was puzzled. “Is this related to the Forbidden Ruins?”
He didn’t even know what the Forbidden Ruins looked like, what was inside, or when it opened.
“Is the source of everything the Forbidden Ruins?”
Ye Jingxian shook his head. “No.”
“It’s just that the Forbidden Ruins caused the cultivation world to lose many sect geniuses. Many disciples never came out after entering.”
Lin Qingyue was somewhat agitated. “What about Shizun? The half-demons? If you don’t explain clearly, how will I know?”
He couldn’t get useful information for a long time and frowned, staring at Ye Jingxian.
“Shizun… died after giving his cultivation to me.” Ye Jingxian lowered his head as he spoke. “To break through to the Tribulation Crossing stage in a short time and kill all the evil demons, this was the only way.”
Lin Qingyue was stunned again. What did that mean?
Breaking through the Tribulation Crossing stage was very, very hard. Talent, cultivation, and opportunity—none could be missing. Why choose Ye Jingxian? Naturally, because of his talent and status in the sect.
But why Ye Jingxian? Why his master and martial uncles?
As if understanding his thoughts, Ye Jingxian spoke, “Shidi, other sects are the same. Everyone is fighting against demons, against the chaos of half-demons and the demon race.”
“Who is it?” Lin Qingyue said with a cold face. “Is it the half-demons? Just kill them all in advance. Better to kill the wrong ones than let them go.”
Ye Jingxian didn’t refute his words, only saying, “The Devil is the true culprit.”
“Shidi, we can never eliminate it. As long as human desire exists, the Devil cannot be eliminated forever.”
Lin Qingyue frowned. “Who is the half-demon hiding in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect causing trouble? I’ll drag him out and chop him up when I get back.”
Ye Jingxian: “Yun Jinzhou is strange. Although he isn’t a half-demon, he has the ability to bewitch people’s hearts. If possible, persuade Martial Uncle Qi to give up on this disciple.”
“Yun Jinzhou is behind this?” Lin Qingyue asked.
“He doesn’t have that much capability; he just fanned the flames. This is too complicated; no single person could create the current situation.”
Lin Qingyue didn’t believe Ye Jingxian’s words.
“As long as we strike early and crush them in advance, won’t things be easy to solve?”
Ye Jingxian smiled. “Perhaps.” After all, things were already different, weren’t they?
The two talked until dark. Lin Qingyue held Bai Dou, squatting and sitting by the bed, looking at Ye Jingxian who had fallen asleep again.
In the silent night, he could hear the other’s heartbeat. Lin Qingyue looked at this familiar face. “Da Shixiong, will your days from now on just be eliminating demons? Eliminating demons forever and ever?”
Always blocking in front of everyone.
“I want to help too, but I can’t help with anything. My Da Shixiong should be looking for me. I will eventually go back. Actually, everything is different now, so our future might not be like your present.”
“Right, definitely. It’s different.”
Lin Qingyue murmured by the bed, suddenly feeling that Ye Jingxian was somewhat pitiful. There was a tiny bit of heartache—heartache for the responsibility he now bore, and even more for him being all alone.
Was this his ending in the original novel?
After sighing faintly, he shook his head again. “No, they are different.”
My Da Shixiong wouldn’t be like this. He wouldn’t let him be like this.
He looked at Ye Jingxian on the bed and whispered, “Although you are in pain, my Da Shixiong definitely won’t be like you, right?”
The person on the bed didn’t respond. Lin Qingyue left the room holding Bai Dou.
After he left, the person on the bed opened his eyes.
