"Qing'er!"
Bai Suzhen caught up with Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing did not slow down when she saw Bai Suzhen chasing her, but instead sped up and flew forward.
Seeing Xiaoqing deliberately quarreling with her, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but sigh secretly. She wanted to explain to Xiaoqing, but at the moment they were flying in the wind and it was inconvenient to talk. She persuaded Xiaoqing to stop, but Xiaoqing deliberately ignored her. Bai Suzhen had no choice but to force it. She grabbed Xiaoqing's wrist with one hand and pulled her down from the top of a mountain.
As soon as they landed on the ground, Xiaoqing broke free from Bai Suzhen's hand and turned her face away angrily. Bai Suzhen felt helpless and amused to see her being angry with her like a child.
"Qing'er, are you angry with your sister?" Bai Suzhen turned to Xiaoqing and looked at her silently. When Xiaoqing was angry, she couldn't help but frown and pursed her lips into a line, not hiding her emotions at all, just like she was always in high spirits when she was happy.
Xiaoqing snorted and didn't answer. She picked a wild flower and picked the petals and threw them down the mountain.
Bai Suzhen smiled and shook her head lightly. She raised her right hand, put up her index finger, blew air on her fingertips, then pointed at the flowers in Xiaoqing's hand and shouted "go". The wild flowers in Xiaoqing's hand disappeared.
Xiaoqing curled her lips, clapped her hands, and simply sat on a large rock nearby to admire the surrounding scenery. In short, she ignored Bai Suzhen.
"Okay, since Qing'er doesn't want to pay attention to me, then I'll just leave." Xiaoqing had a stubborn temper, so Bai Suzhen had no choice but to retreat.
Xiaoqing knew that Bai Suzhen was deliberately provoking her, but when she saw her really turn around, she still couldn't help but get anxious, "Okay, I'm not angry with you." Holding Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing finally compromised.
Bai Suzhen turned around and said with a smile: "Are you finally willing to pay attention to me? I thought you were going to keep being awkward with me."
"Sister, I'm not quarreling with you." Xiaoqing frowned and said, "I just think you are too soft-hearted and can't bear to be ruthless to anyone. If you continue like this, sooner or later you will leave yourself with troubles. I don't object to you being kind to others, but Wang Daoling has evil intentions to begin with, and you have abolished his Taoism today. How can he not find a chance to take revenge in the future? Don't you worry about your own safety?"
Bai Suzhen shook her head. She looked at Xiaoqing with clear eyes and said, "Qing'er, I abolished Wang Daoling's Taoism and let him live. I knew that if he had resentment, he would seek revenge. But God has the virtue of loving life, and all living things have their reasons for existence. If it is possible to make people who have done evil do good, we should do our best. Besides, the reason why I didn't take Wang Daoling's life was for another consideration." At this point, Bai Suzhen paused for a moment, suddenly changed the subject, and asked Xiaoqing, "Qing'er, have you seen the Great Emperor Zhenwu?"
The Great Emperor Zhenwu? That stiff, cold, and stinky old man? Xiaoqing had certainly seen him, but at that time she was still the third princess of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and now she was just a green snake spirit with less than a thousand years of cultivation. If she said she had seen the Great Emperor Zhenwu who was in the Ninth Heaven, wouldn't it be a joke? How could a little fairy possibly be able to enter the Lingxiao Palace? Just as she was about to deny it, she heard Bai Suzhen say again: "The Third Princess of the Dragon Palace must have seen the Great Emperor Zhenwu."
"Sister, you...already know everything?" Xiaoqing was stunned and a little surprised. She did not expect that Bai Suzhen already knew her identity.
Bai Suzhen nodded.
Xiaoqing frowned: "Did the Five Dragon Envoys tell you?" Only those five guys knew her identity and recognized Bai Suzhen. Who else could have leaked the secret if not them? And without having to guess, Xiaoqing knew that it must be the Black-faced guy who accidentally let out her identity. Among the Five Dragon Envoys, he was the worst at keeping secrets. Xiaoqing secretly scolded Black-faced and glanced at Bai Suzhen uneasily. Seeing that Bai Suzhen looked calm and didn't seem to blame her for her deception, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and let it go. Originally, she didn't know how to confess her identity to Bai Suzhen. Now that Bai Suzhen already knew, it was all right.
"Sister, I didn't intend to keep it a secret from you. I just haven't found a suitable opportunity to tell you about my situation. Are you just blaming me?"
Bai Suzhen said, "Qing'er, you worry too much. In fact, your identity is not important. In my eyes, you are always the Xiaoqing I know, and there is no way to change." After a pause, Bai Suzhen continued with the previous topic, "Qing'er, since you have seen the Great Emperor Zhenwu, you should also know that the Great Emperor Zhenwu is not only fair and selfless, but also tolerant and generous. I was fortunate enough to meet him once that year. The Great Emperor Zhenwu said something that I still remember clearly. He said that no matter whether you are an immortal or a human or a demon, you may make mistakes. Whenever you can, you should forgive others. It is much more desirable to influence others to abandon evil and do good than to hurt their lives." Slightly looking up at the floating clouds in the sky, Bai Suzhen sighed, "The Great Emperor Zhenwu sees things more clearly than us."
Xiao Qing curled her lips and said, "I think he is just being pedantic. If you are tolerant to every evildoer, then wouldn't it be unfair to the innocent people who are harmed by the evildoers? Only when evil is punished can we deter evildoers, reduce the number of evildoers in the world, and restore peace to the world."
"Qing'er, maybe you are right." Bai Suzhen savored Xiaoqing's words, pondered for a moment, and murmured: "Although Wang Daoling is hateful, he has not violated the heavenly rules, and his crime is not punishable by death. I let him live, just to give him a chance to correct his mistakes. If he is really stubborn, I will definitely not show mercy when we meet again in the future." After that, Bai Suzhen raised her eyes to the sky and said, "Okay, Qing'er, whether it is right or wrong, let's not argue about Wang Daoling's matter anymore. Xu Xian will come to Bao'an Hall to see patients in a few days. It's getting late, let's go back to Bao'an Hall and make preparations in advance."
"Yeah." Xiaoqing responded, and no longer mentioned Wang Daoling. She returned to Suzhou City with Bai Suzhen.
