The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elderchapter 136: this is wishful thinking to begin with

Chapter 136 – This Is Wishful Thinking to Begin with

“What are you going to do?”

Beiming Youyu put down the teacup and raised her head, and her clear eyes focused on the purple eyes reflecting her faces.

Is this really me? To her surprise, she realized that her expression reflected in that pair of eyes looks somewhat cowardly.

“This is our home. I won’t allow them to do whatever they please here.”

Xi He asserted decisively, and her tranquil face registered intense emotional fluctuations for the first time.

The emotion on the girl’s face is not anger, but determination.

“You’re really daring…”

Beiming Youyu laughed.

She didn’t laugh at Xi He, but at herself… herself who can only compromise.

“How do you deal with people from the great sects all by yourself?”

Beiming Youyu would like to abandon all her apprehensions and help the other party, but she isn’t responsible for only herself, She is also responsible for countless disciples who are waiting for her return in Spirit Moon Valley.

Beiming Youyu is the master of a sect. She cannot drag Spirit Moon Valley into damnation for her own selfish wish.

“Besides, you already met that gal?”

Xi He was stunned for a while before uttering probingly.

“Big Sister Beiming, do you mean ‘Natural Disaster’?”

“Mhm, that’s the gal.”

“It seems that you really like ‘Natural Disaster’, Big Sister Beiming.”

Xi He looked a bit lonely when she said that.

However, Beiming Youyu who has fallen into a daze didn’t notice this.

“Why do you say that?”

“When you mentioned her, there was a faint smile on your face.”

Really? Beiming Youyu was stunned for a while.

“I know that ‘Natural Disaster’ has come, but she may not be my enemy.”

“Do you know her?”

“We’ve met before.”

“So do you understand her?”

Xi He shook her head gently.

“I don’t, I only heard a few things.”

“So how can you be sure that she won’t be your enemy?”

“It’s just a feeling.”

Beiming Youyu laughed.

To take this unfounded hunch as a guideline, she feels that Xi He is a bit naive.

“As long as I don’t touch Merak Temple’s people, she should turn a blind eye to it.”

These words surprised Beiming Youyu.

Speechless, she feels that Xi He hit the nail on the head.

In Beiming Youyu’s view, Xue Qilin would go mad for the people she values… the fact that she rushed into Heavenly Sword Gate by herself is the best evidence.

“So I plan to separate Merak Temple from the other sects.”

“You won’t touch Merak Temple’s people?”

“I won’t.”

Why? Is it just because of Xue Qilin? Beiming Youyu wants to ask this.

However, apparently seeing through the doubt in her heart, Xi He answered the question before Beiming Youyu got the chance to ask it.

“Because Merak Temple’s Young Temple Master saved me. I am not someone who repays kindness with ingratitude.”

“It turns out that you were rescued by Old Qi’s descendant at that time.”

During Martial Demon Realm Trial by Fire 10 years ago, Xi He was on the cusp of death. It was Merak Temple’s Young Temple Master who saved her.

“That said, that gal is no longer Merak Temple’s Young Temple Master.”

“Hmm?”

“Ever since old man Qi Guiyuan…”

Beiming Youyu didn’t utter the later half of the sentence. To be honest, she doesn’t want to speak of Qi Guiyuan.

That old scoundrel always treats me like a little girl! Whenever she thinks of his attitude towards herself, she gnashes her teeth resentfully.

“The person who saved you is already Merak Temple’s Temple Master.” she said.

Xi He exclaimed: “She’s already the Temple Master… is she alright?”

“You haven’t seen her?”

Xi He shook her head, in a daze.

Beiming Youyu suddenly felt a bit bitter. Having bound Xu He firmly, Martial Demon Realm doesn’t even give her the leeway to see her benefactor.

“Anyway… ‘Asura’er’, how are you going to deal with her? She is more difficult to deal with than Xue Qilin.”

Xi He didn’t answer.

She is just quietly and firmly staring at Beiming Youyu.

Beiming Youyu immediately realized what she means. She doesn’t know whether to be angry or humored, which reflected on her face.

“Gal, you even took me into account?”

“I didn’t know that ‘Asura’er’ would come.”

That is to say, she didn’t expect Beiming Youyu to deal with “Asura’er” at first.

“You should know that Grandmasters won’t lightly fight with one other.”

“But you still saved me at that time. Moreover, you don’t have to step in. Just let her know that you’re here.”

A deterrent?

“How are you going to deal with the great sects’ martial practitioners?” Beiming Youyu narrowed her eyes, “Are you going to kill them?”

She’s just probing. She doesn’t know what Xi He intends to do.

If Xi He really intends to fight the martial practitioners in Martial Demon Realm, then the only one who will suffer damage in the end is Martial Demon Realm.

Humans know forgiveness, but not when it comes to martial demons.

… Fortunately Xi He’s answer made her feel at ease.

“I don’t plan to kill them. Revenge just breeds more revenge. I only want to drive them away.”

“You don’t understand.” Beiming Youyu frowned, “For them being expelled by martial demons is a humiliation, and it may be even more painful to swallow than if you killed them.”

“If they really set foot in our homeland again, then I will drive them out again.”

“Again and again? When will it stop?”

Hearing Beiming Youyu’s question, Xi He’s eyes radiated a certain light, the light of resolve.

“When they no longer dare enter Martial Demon Realm.”

Her tone is stern and firm, like a bell ringing in a valley.

It is sacred and inviolable, with no room for doubt.

Xi He, you are much braver than me… the corners of Beiming Youyu’s mouth curved.

However, there is another thing that worries Beiming Youyu.

“Do you need my strength?”

Xi He who has picked up her teacup immediately froze mid action. The swaying candlelight illuminates her face.

She put down the teacup and a smile bloomed on her face.

It is a sorrowful smile.

But…

“They will lend me their strength.”

Her tone is mixed with pride and emotion.

They… Martial Demon Realm’s martial demons.

Martial Demon Realm’s martial demons will presumably lend her their strength, which fill her with pride.

However, this heralds the death of many.

“Are you going to drag them into the upcoming bloody fight?”

“They are already in it.”

“Is it worth it?”

“It’s not a question of whether it is worth it or not. After all, there is nothing more worth our protection than what we love.”

That must be a kind of blessing. Compared to myself who can’t act of my own accord, she’s much more blessed. Beiming Youyu looked up at the ceiling. Only after she felt her eyes dry up did she look away.

“I should be going.”

Beiming Youyu got up.

Now that she understands the other party’s resolve, it is time for her to leave.

“Won’t you stay a little longer?”

Xi He got up as well and urged her to stay.

Beiming Youyu walked a few steps before stopping and looking back at her.

“You have a place you belong to, and I have a place I must return to. This meeting is…”

Wishful thinking to begin with… Beijing Youyu ended the sentence with a pained tone.

Xi He didn’t persuade her anymore.

“Big Sister Beiming, wait a minute.”

Then she turned around and walked to the back of the hut.

When she returned to Beiming Youyu’s side, she had a parcel in her hand, which exudes the scent of White Dragon Tongue. She handed the parcel with White Dragon Tongue petals to Beiming Youyu.

“I know you like to drink it. Take some with you.”

“Thank you.”

“This may be the last.”

As Beiming Youyu reached out to receive the parcel, Xi He uttered this sentence, making the former’s hands that have already touched the parcel freeze mid action.

She is resolved to die… Understanding this, Beiming Youyu became absent-minded.

“You should go.”

“Um…”

After snapping out of it, Beiming Youyu received Xi He’s kindness.

When she walked out the door, Beiming Youyu stopped again.

“I will stay in our homeland until this matter is concluded.”

She didn’t turn around when she said this.

“I hope you can witness and understand our determination.”

Xi He’s voice coiled around Beiming Youyu’s heart.

Even though she spoke in a low voice, but Beiming Youyu could still vaguely hear Xi He’s voice echo beside her ears.

… After this, they don’t expect to see each other again.
