"Sisters?" Xiaoqing raised her eyebrows in surprise. After hearing Bai Suzhen's words and thinking about Wang Daoling's personality, Xiaoqing had guessed what was going on. However, she was a little surprised that Bai Suzhen actually had other sisters. "Sister, it turns out that you have other sisters."
Bai Suzhen's expression relaxed and she nodded slightly. She smiled and said to Xiaoqing: "Actually, Qing'er, you have seen them."
"I have seen them?" Xiao Qing was confused, and suddenly her mind moved, and she blurted out: "Could it be the five sisters in the Xianyuan Cave in Qingcheng Mountain?" Yes, it must be them. Xiao Qing thought that the five women in white she met were practicing in Qingcheng Mountain, and the first time she met Bai Suzhen was also in Qingcheng Mountain. So it seems that the sisters Bai Suzhen mentioned must be the five women in white. Sure enough, Bai Suzhen nodded-
"It was them. Qing'er, I haven't thanked you yet." She said, "I have heard Bai Feng and the others tell me about what happened that day. If it weren't for your help, they would have fallen into the trap of this evil spirit. If that had happened, the consequences would have been disastrous." At this point, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but frown again and blamed herself, "If anything happened to Bai Feng and the others, I really don't know what I would do as their elder sister. I'm afraid that I would be blamed even if I died."
"Sister, it's serious." Xiaoqing interrupted Bai Suzhen. She couldn't bear to see Bai Suzhen putting all the blame on her. She said, "Even if Bai Feng and the others really got into trouble, it's not your responsibility. You can only blame them for not learning the skills well. These cunning people are cunning by nature. You can't always stay by their side and protect them. How can you take the responsibility if something happens?"
Bai Suzhen slowly shook her head and murmured, "Qing'er, no matter what, since Bai Feng and the others respect my sister, I should take good care of them. If they get hurt in the slightest, it means I haven't taken good care of them, and I will feel guilty."
"Sister, you... I really can't do anything about you." Seeing Bai Suzhen so stubborn, Xiaoqing shook her head helplessly.
Bai Suzhen stared at Xiaoqing and asked cautiously, "Qing'er, do you think I'm old-fashioned?"
Xiaoqing wanted to say yes, but looking at Bai Suzhen's clear eyes, she could only sigh and compromise: "I just think that you are too good to others, but too hard on yourself. You take care of others in everything, but has anyone ever taken good care of you?"
Bai Suzhen was stunned, and couldn't answer for a while. She frowned, thought carefully, and suddenly realized that it seemed that she was the only one who had been taking care of others. She had the highest cultivation and the deepest Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain. People around her would turn to her for help whenever they encountered difficulties. She was used to helping others and facing and solving problems alone. She never thought of asking others to take care of her, and no one had ever taken care of her. Except... Xiaoqing. Only after meeting Xiaoqing did she no longer have to do everything herself. Only Xiaoqing would patiently accompany her to find her savior in the vast sea of people, would run around for her, arrange three meals a day, ask about her well-being, and take good care of her... But she was too unkind to Xiaoqing. Bai Suzhen suddenly felt distressed. Thinking of Xiaoqing's kindness to her, her deep affection when she said she liked her, and her indifference when she rejected Xiaoqing, she felt heartbroken and full of regret. Xiaoqing said she was too kind to others, but why was she so cruel to Xiaoqing? Just because Xiaoqing was a girl and liked her, could she ignore her feelings, deliberately distance herself from her, and hurt her heart? Biting her teeth, Bai Suzhen suddenly realized that she was so selfish. She only cared about her own emotions, but did not consider Xiaoqing's feelings at all. Slowly turning her face to the side, she looked at Xiaoqing with guilt.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoqing saw that Bai Suzhen looked different, and she was worried: "Did I say something wrong?" She pursed her lips, feeling annoyed. She shouldn't have said such nonsense just now. Now, she has upset her sister again. The atmosphere finally became relaxed, but she messed it up again. She really didn't have any! Looking at Bai Suzhen helplessly, Xiaoqing was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
"Qing'er." Bai Suzhen saw Xiaoqing's anxious expression, and a warm current slowly flowed through her heart. She opened her red lips, wanting to say something, but in the end just said, "I'm fine." She lowered her eyes, her heart was in chaos for a moment.
"Really?" Xiaoqing knew that Bai Suzhen must have something on her mind, but she was smart enough not to ask any more questions. After all, if Bai Suzhen wanted to say something, she would say it without her asking. On the contrary, if she didn't want to say it, it would be useless even if she asked her. In this case, it would be better not to ask. So, she pretended to be relieved and said, "That's good. Sister, let's take a look at what this □□ spirit is doing."
"Yeah." Bai Suzhen responded, looked at Xiaoqing deeply, then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened her eyes, turned her gaze and looked towards the center of the field.
Xiaoqing had been secretly watching Bai Suzhen. She had seen all of Bai Suzhen's actions and expressions. She was confused by the strange look on Bai Suzhen's face and didn't know what it meant.
"Hey, everyone, listen carefully. I will now display my power to call the wind and rain. When I call for the wind, the first person will stand on this platform. Then when I call for the rain, the first person will step down and the second person will step up. Do you understand?" In the center of the field, Wang Daoling explained in a serious manner. The crowd was very interested when they heard him claim to have the power to call the wind and rain, but they couldn't help but question:
"I understand, but can you really call the wind and rain? You're not lying, are you?"
"That's right. If you can call the wind and rain, wouldn't that make you a god?"
"I think this Taoist priest must be bragging."
"Yes, I'm just bragging..."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Wang Daoling was a little impatient. He raised his voice and shouted to everyone, "You'll know whether I'm bragging or not later! Just don't get scared to death then." He took a stance, squinted his eyes, and muttered to himself.
"What is he doing?"
"Channel the spell."
Everyone was whispering to each other, staring at Wang Daoling who was pretending to be so pretentious, and discussing the matter curiously.
"Hmph, this damn bastard doesn't flirt with decent women anymore, but instead starts to cheat people here. I'm going to make him look ridiculous later." Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows and secretly made up her mind to find a way to make Wang Daoling look ridiculous in public.
On the side, Bai Suzhen also had a gloomy face and stared at Wang Daoling with a cold expression.
