I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 376 Archive 4

Yun Qingyi looked at Yun Qingrou quietly, sighing inwardly. She knew she couldn't push her too hard; some things could only be spoken of openly once she had figured them out herself.

Ci Gui didn't say much. As for this matter, even if he had a million ways to solve it, the knot in his heart could only be untied by himself. Otherwise, any method would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

After giving a few more instructions, Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou left the side hall.

Xie Xiyan had been waiting outside the main hall.

"Qingyi, you're all out." Xie Xiyan greeted them as soon as he saw them come out.

"Have you been waiting long? I'm sorry, I had to take care of some things, so I spent a little longer with Master." Yun Qingyi felt a little embarrassed when she saw Xie Xiyan standing outside. Master had sent him to Xuanmiao Sect, and as his disciple, she had to treat him well, especially since he was a friend she respected. She felt really bad for making him wait outside for so long.

"It's nothing, it won't be long." Xie Xiyan smiled slightly. "I just took care of some things myself, and coincidentally, you all came out right after I finished."

Ling Xuzi, who was floating in mid-air on the other side, snorted coldly, "You're still dealing with things, talking so gently. You weren't like this when you were interrogating your master."

While talking to Yun Qingyi, Xie Xiyan said to Ling Xuzi in his mind: "Master, you are the one who has been lying all the time. If it weren't for Ci Gui Immortal Venerable, I really wouldn't have known that you had such an identity. Didn't you say before that you were an old beggar? You worked hard to cultivate, only to be tricked and thrown into the sea to drown?"

I really don't understand how I could have believed you in the first place with such a lame excuse.

Ling Xuzi looked indignant: "If I hadn't said that, would you have parasitized my body?"

Xie Xiyan was momentarily speechless: "How can you be so sure that this story will make me agree? Besides, I was only a few years old at the time. Aren't you trying to fool a child?"

Ling Xuzi felt a little guilty. When he met Xie Xiyan, the child was only four years old. Besides the fact that the child was talented and had the potential to reshape his physical body, another reason for choosing him was that the child was kind and not ruthless. He was born with a pure heart. So, back then, after coaxing and fooling him, just as he had expected, in just half an hour, little Xie Xiyan accepted Ling Xuzi with a strong sense of justice.

Xie Xiyan has always had a good memory, and he was already four years old at that time, so he remembered the situation very clearly, and his face darkened.

"Hehe, my good disciple, you see, I've been very good to you all these years. Don't be angry. Besides, I've never abandoned you all these years." Ling Xuzi looked extremely proud of his actions.

"Back then, your talent and strength were sealed, but I raised you with painstaking care of you."

Xie Xiyan: "..." He was speechless. This guy was someone he had been trying to strengthen every day, timing his absorption of the essence of the sun and moon, and raising him with painstaking care of him. Please! He was already eight years old when his talent was sealed!

"Ahem." Clearly seeing Xie Xiyan's speechless expression, Ling Xuzi forced himself to say, "Then... then your teacher will take good care of you later."

Xie Xiyan: "Who's taking care of whom, really?"

Ling Xuzi sighed and said, "Alright, I admit it. I was a little lazy, but I'm much better now. See? Hehe."

Xie Xiyan: "Alright, alright, I know you're very capable now." He gave him a perfunctory reply.

However... because of Ling Xuzi's words, Xie Xiyan recalled the time when his parents left.

Back then, when the barbaric demon race invaded, my parents volunteered to go and never returned, while I was sent to my uncle's house to be raised.

At first, his uncle treated him very well, but later, when his own talent and strength were sealed, his attitude gradually worsened. Because he felt that his uncle was wasting resources, he abandoned him to fend for himself, and eventually, he was reduced to the point where he could only get food by being given it to others.

My master wanted to help me a lot at that time, but he was powerless to do so. His soul was almost transparent when he found me. He had only been recuperating for five years. Although his soul had become more solid, it had no cultivation. He could only anxiously pace around in circles.
