683 Little Senior Sister’s Abnormality
“Haha, I’ve profited greatly.” After walking out of the First Elder’s external domain, Ye Qiu finally couldn’t hold back the excitement in his heart. He weighed the Grade Nine Companion Flower in his hand and was overjoyed. “I didn’t expect to obtain such a gain on this trip. It’s worth it, it’s too worth it.” Even a pie from the sky wouldn’t be as fragrant as this.
Ming Yue couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh when she saw his excited expression. For some reason, not only was she not jealous at all, but she was also happy for him. Perhaps she was not a petty woman to begin with. Since it was given by the First Elder, the First Elder must have his own reasons. Ming Yue had nothing to say.
However, this ninth-grade Companion Flower was really precious. Even Ming Yue was a little tempted.
Ever since Ye Qiu broke through to the Eleven Heavenly Sanctums, a knot had been buried in her heart. That was, she stopped at the Ten Heavenly Sanctums. She was one Heavenly Sanctum lower than Ye Qiu’s Eleven Heavenly Sanctums. She, who was already proud and arrogant, found it difficult to accept this reality and did not want to be inferior to others.
Therefore, after returning from that battle, she began to consult ancient books and search for a way to break through the Eleven Heavenly Sanctums again. After her bitter search, she finally found the only chance to break through the shackles and open the Ten Heavenly Sanctums again with the First Elder.
However, the process during this period was extremely difficult. It was probably several times more difficult than before. Among them, she needed some special precious medicine to help her stimulate all the potential of her body and reopen the Ten Heavenly Sanctums.
Ming Yue searched bitterly for a long time, but she only found some precious medicines. However, she could not find a few special precious medicines. One of them was the Grade Nine Companion Flower in Ye Qiu’s hand.
It was unknown if the First Elder did it on purpose or not. He clearly knew that she lacked this medicine, but he still gave it to Ye Qiu. Ming Yue didn’t understand the First Elder’s thoughts. She only remembered what the First Elder had said back then.
Everything in the world has its cause and effect. The knot had to be untied by the one who tied it!
Ever since Ming Yue returned, she had been thinking about this problem, trying to figure out what the First Elder meant. However, she could not figure it out no matter how she thought about it, so she simply gave up and slowly accepted that she could no longer break through to the Eleventh Heavenly Sanctum.
Actually, Meng Tianzheng had already said it very clearly, but she was unwilling to think in this direction. The reason why she lost the chance to break through to the Eleven Heavenly Sanctum was because of Ye Qiu.
In order to save him, Ming Yue took the initiative to give up the chance to break through to the Eleven Heavenly Sanctums and forcefully break through to the Heavenly Venerate realm in advance.
This was the cause Ye Qiu planted back then. Ming Yue had never thought of this problem because she simply felt that she had done it willingly. In order to save her junior brother, she gave up on the Eleven Heavenly Sanctum. Since it was her choice, it had nothing to do with others.
She was such a person. She looked cold and heartless on the surface, but she was extremely kind on the inside. She did not want to make things difficult for others, nor did she want to implicate or trouble others.
However, what she didn’t know was that this karma was the most important thing for cultivators. Although she did not say anything, this outcome would always exist and implicate the two of them. If they could not end it, it might accompany them for the rest of their lives.
“Senior Sister, what’s wrong?” Sensing Ming Yue’s strange expression, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but ask with concern. For some reason, Ming Yue’s expression had been very strange ever since this Grade Nine Companion Flower appeared. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t say anything. He was very surprised.
With Ye Qiu’s understanding of her, she must have something on. She just didn’t want to say it and chose to hide it in her heart. Thinking of this, Ye Qiu immediately became puzzled. He looked at the Grade Nine Companion Flower in his hand and then looked at Ming Yue’s expression.
“Could it be that this flower is very important to her?” Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but be shocked. He suddenly understood what Meng Tianzheng’s faint smile was saying.
Ye Qiu hadn’t forgotten that Ming Yue had blocked the calamity for him and forcefully broken through, choosing to give up her future. He had always remembered it in his heart.
Ye Qiu only had respect, admiration, and no impropriety towards this cold girl. He did not tease her like other girls without thinking.
Meng Tianzheng clearly knew about what happened back then. Coupled with his expression just now, Ye Qiu suddenly woke up.
“No, this thing must be very important to her. Could it be that the old man wants me to borrow this flower to end this karma?” Thinking of this, Ye Qiu was shocked. He didn’t expect the old man to be so scheming.
At first, Ye Qiu couldn’t tell what it meant. Now, combined with Ming Yue’s expression, he understood. “Oh my god, an old man is an old man. He played this trick clearly and grasped the details well.” The more Ye Qiu thought about it, the more shocked he became. He felt a lingering fear in his heart. He originally thought that his trap was already terrifying enough.
However, ever since he came to the old man’s side, he realized that compared to him, he was simply like a piece of white paper.
Ming Yue didn’t say anything, and Meng Tianzheng didn’t say anything either. However, when all the clues were connected, it made one feel a chill run down their spine.
This old man’s tricks were too deep!
At this moment, Ye Qiu understood. Instead of saying that Meng Tianzheng had given this flower to him, it was more like he wanted to use him to give it to Ming Yue. This was because this flower concerned whether she could reopen the Ten Heavenly Sanctums and end her mental demon.
It also happened to clear Ye Qiu’s guilt towards Ming Yue. As the saying went, killing two birds with one stone. If this karma was completely ended, it could even promote their relationship if it developed well. It had to be said that Meng Tianzheng’s move was really ruthless.
How could Ye Qiu and Ming Yue understand his good intentions? In his heart, these two children were his favorites. He had watched them grow up, so he naturally treated them equally. Moreover, he was very satisfied with their performance. Therefore, he wanted to matchmake them.
Of course, Ye Qiu and Ming Yue couldn’t guess this. Ye Qiu simply thought that Meng Tianzheng wanted him to end this karma and didn’t think about anything else.
“Hmm… I understand.” Looking at the ninth-grade Companion Flower in his hand, Ye Qiu suddenly revealed a smile and understood Meng Tianzheng’s good intentions. In that case, he could not keep this flower.
However, it was not appropriate to give it to Ming Yue directly. He had to find a suitable reason not to burden her. He had to make a good plan. Little Senior Sister liked to take care of others’ emotions. Ye Qiu naturally had to take care of her emotions. He couldn’t let her feel like she owed others.
The atmosphere gradually quietened down. Facing Ye Qiu’s question, Ming Yue composed herself and didn’t show any disappointment. She said casually, “I’m fine.” She still didn’t say anything and chose to bury it in her heart, not wanting to make things difficult for Ye Qiu.
She also understood that if she asked, Ye Qiu would definitely give it to her because Ye Qiu had always wanted to make it up to her. However, she was unwilling because she also understood that this thing was incomparably precious and vital to Ye Qiu. Otherwise, the First Elder wouldn’t have given it to him.
