Chapter 567 I'd Rather She Be AloneThe reason why cultivators in the Rebirth Continent can practice is that they use the Xuan Veins. Some are thick, some are thin, some are long, and some are short. However, replacing the Xuan Veins is a vicious method. It can allow people who do not know how to practice to be able to practice, and it can also restore people whose Xuan Veins are damaged or disabled to their original state. The reason why it is vicious is that people who are deprived of their Xuan Veins will become disabled.
“Cheng’er’s life is in danger because of you, and only your Xuanmai can open it. Karma is cyclical, Song Jiaojiao, you must be responsible for what you have done.” After saying these words, Xu Xinghe peeled off her Xuanmai with his own hands. Song Jiaojiao, who had become a disabled person, had difficulty even getting up, let alone standing.
She gave up. Her life or death was entirely in the hands of God. In a daze, Song Jiaojiao heard screams from outside that the fire had broken out. At that moment, Song Jiaojiao felt more relieved than ever before.
She was living a very tiring life in the Xu family.
After a long, long time, when Song Jiaojiao opened her eyes again, she was in an elegant and quiet courtyard.
It was Shangguan Yulang who saved her. Her mysterious veins were stripped away. In order to save her, Shangguan Yulang stripped the mysterious veins of the ferocious beast. For this, Shangguan Yulang was seriously injured by the ferocious beast. The news of the serious injury was heard by Song Jiaojiao from the attendants around Shangguan Yulang. Otherwise, Song Jiaojiao would not have known about it. Because of this, Shangguan Yulang's attendants had many complaints about Song Jiaojiao.
When Song Jiaojiao learned about this, she felt grateful, but more guilty.
Shangguan Yulang was in very poor health and coughed all the time. Doctors couldn't save him. Song Jiaojiao learned from the attendants that Shangguan Yulang, as a bastard of the Shangguan family, was not favored. He had been suffering from chronic poison since childhood, so he would not live for many years.
Shangguan Yulang was extremely talented. He had reached the level of a Grandmaster before he was 25 years old. In the Rebirth Continent, he mainly practiced the Mystical Arts. The levels of cultivation from low to high were Xuanshi, Xuanshi, Xuanwang, Grandmaster, Venerable, Immortal Emperor, and Immortal Emperor. Among them, the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor were legendary existences. So far, there were only a handful of Venerables in the Rebirth Continent, let alone Grandmasters.
Logically speaking, Shangguan Yulang, who is a master, should be protected by his family and even have a high status. But the bad thing is that he is a bastard. If he is too smart, no one will tolerate him. It can be seen from the fact that he has been poisoned by a chronic poison.
Perhaps because she knew that Shangguan Yulang would not live long, Song Jiaojiao always wanted to accompany him on his last journey. In this way, they hid their identities and traveled around the world as brother and sister. Shangguan Yulang knew medical skills and would provide free medical services wherever he went. Song Jiaojiao and Shangguan Yulang's attendants helped him. The atmosphere was very harmonious, which made Song Jiaojiao feel at home, especially the love Shangguan Yulang gave her, which made Song Jiaojiao feel a sense of home.
Shangguan Yulang likes her!
Once, Song Jiaojiao tested Shangguan Yulang as a joke, but the result was disappointing.
Song Jiaojiao: "Alang, do you like me?"
Shangguan Yulang chuckled: "What are you thinking about? Haven't you been hurt enough?"
Every time Song Jiaojiao asked Alang whether he liked her, Shangguan Yulang would wake her up and tell her how Xu Xinghe hurt her. Over time, under Shangguan Yulang's overt and covert reminders, Song Jiaojiao no longer cared much about love matters. Compared to love, she hoped to be stronger.
Shangguan Yulang is a very good teacher. Song Jiaojiao became a master in cultivation because of his guidance. During the training, she became a king. On the road of training, the two of them depended on each other, like close friends, and more like husband and wife. They clearly said they were siblings, but when someone mistakenly thought they were husband and wife, Shangguan Yulang did not explain, which made Song Jiaojiao feel more like Shangguan Yulang liked her, but he did not admit it.
The two met Xu Xinghe during their training.
He was injured, Song Jiaojiao didn't want to save him, but Shangguan Yulang insisted on saving him, as he had his duty as a doctor. Xu Xinghe was seriously injured and would not recover for ten days or half a month. In order to take care of him, Song Jiaojiao had to wear a veil on the grounds of disfigurement, and added a veil just in case.
Xu Xinghe was seriously injured. If he hadn't met Song Jiaojiao and Shangguan Yulang, he might have died. Song Jiaojiao took care of him as Shangguan Yulang's sister Ah Jiao until Xu Xinghe woke up seven days later. Xu Xinghe knew Shangguan Yulang, but Ah Jiao gave him a feeling of familiarity and strangeness. However, he couldn't find anyone who corresponded to Ah Jiao in his memory.
After Xu Xinghe woke up, Shangguan Yulang intended to let him contact his confidants, but he refused. Xu Xinghe told her that he was injured because of a family conflict, and it was not appropriate for him to appear in everyone's sight. So, because of taking care of Xu Xinghe, Shangguan Yulang and Song Jiaojiao's travel was forced to be interrupted, but fortunately Xu Xinghe recovered well. After Xu Xinghe almost recovered, Shangguan Yulang found a carriage and took Xu Xinghe to continue traveling.
On the way, Song Jiaojiao's attitude towards Xu Xinghe was very distant, and Xu Xinghe saw it all. After a long time, Xu Xinghe naturally felt that Shangguan and A Jiao were not siblings, but more like close friends and husband and wife. There seemed to be a thin film between them, and no one was willing to break it.
There is a great tacit understanding between Shangguan and Gillian, a tacit understanding that he and Yuecheng do not have. Whether it is Shangguan's attitude towards Gillian, or Gillian's attitude towards Shangguan, it can be said that they really love each other.
Xu Xinghe could get out of bed and drink tea with Shangguan Yulang in the backyard. Song Jiaojiao cooked. Everything was peaceful and beautiful. Xu Xinghe heard Shangguan Yulang say, "I have liked Ah Jiao since I was a child, but I couldn't marry her because of my health. In the end, I could only watch her marry someone else. But she didn't live well in her husband's family. She didn't have the respect that a wife should have. In order to make her life better, she put aside her pride as a rich lady to please the servants. Finally, I found an opportunity to pull her out of that whirlpool, but after too long of torment, she became... different from before."
Xu Xinghe had not expected such a thing to happen. He looked back at Song Jiaojiao with a hint of sympathy. Shangguan Yulang also said to him, "I don't have much time left. I can't give Gillian the happiness she deserves, but I can give her the strength she deserves. I don't want her to repeat the same mistakes, and Gillian knows this. She has always understood my feelings for her, but I would rather she be alone than drag her into that obscure and turbid sea."
There is a kind of poison in the world that can destroy all love and affection. Shangguan Yulang wants his Ah Jiao to be happy all her life, no matter he is there or not.
Shangguan Yulang wants to find this Gu.
Because of his life-saving grace, Xu Xinghe also helped in the search.
During the trip, although Shangguan Yulang and Song Jiaojiao didn't say anything, Xu Xinghe still felt the sadness between them of knowing each other, loving each other and parting. At that moment, Xu Xinghe subconsciously put himself and Yue Cheng in their shoes, but he couldn't imagine what the result would be.
Song Jiaojiao's dependence on Shangguan Yulang and her alienation from Xu Xinghe were fully reflected on the road. Xu Xinghe naturally felt the distance between them, and this distance was like a dogtail grass, making his heart itch and he couldn't help wanting to get closer. As time went on, his eyes fell on Song Jiaojiao involuntarily. Because of Yue Cheng, Xu Xinghe never thought that he cared about Song Jiaojiao. He just thought that the relationship between Song Jiaojiao and Shangguan Yulang was pulling him.
