The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder

A distant, jasmine-like fragrance entered her nose .

She lifted her heavy eyelids, and an unfamiliar ceiling reflected in her eyes .

Her head hurts a little .

Where is this? Shui Yuner clasped her forehead and sat up .

“You’re awake?”

A bright voice came from beside the bed .

Shui Yuner’s gaze moved, and then her eyes met a pair of scarlet eyes full of intellect .

The facial features are both tender and charming, and the strange disparity creates a sense of nobility .

The face in front of her eyes is so illusory and beautiful that Shui Yuner couldn’t react for a while, overwhelmed by the red being .

“Are you okay?”

Seeing Shui Yuner staring at her absent-mindedly, Qi Qiqi asked, both doubtful and worried .

“I’m okay . ”

After moving the hand clasping her forehead to her thigh, Shui Yuner smiled bitterly .

“My head just hurts a little...”

“It’s no wonder . After all, you’ve been in a coma for so long . ”

“I was in a... coma?”

Shui Yuner asked this question doubtfully, and Qi Qiqi nodded slowly .

“It’s been almost two weeks . ”

“...”

Have I been in a coma for two weeks? What’s going on? Shui Yuner couldn’t react momentarily . She is confused about the current situation .

“Do...” Qi Qiqi hesitated for a moment, “Do you remember what happened during the tournament?”

“... the tournament?”

Shui Yuner’s eyes slackened, and she thought back .

In the arena, Senior Disciple Brother Li knocked away Phecda... In the heat of the moment, Phecda suddenly flew back into my hand, and then... and then?

She can’t remember what happened afterwards, as if her memory had been suddenly severed .

Shui Yuner frowned, trying to find something in a corner of her memory .

But... she can’t .

As if a pile of stone was stuffed into her head, Shui Yuner feels like her head is very heavy .

... What happened in the end? She leaned forward subconsciously and clasped her face with her hands .

From between the fingers, you can see the eyes shaking unnaturally .

Intuition tells her that something terrible must have happened to her .

“No, I can’t remember, I can’t remember, I can’t remember, I can’t remember...”

As if in a dream, she kept mumbling the words “I can’t remember” .

“Shui Yuner, are you okay?”

Shui Yuner roused suddenly and looked back at Qi Qiqi . Her movement was so sudden that Qi Qiqi almost fell to the ground .

“I’m sorry, Temple Master Qi... did I scare you?”

“Ah, it’s fine, it’s fine . ”

Qi Qiqi waved her hands with a wry smile .

As if she suddenly recalled something, she asked Shui Yuner .

“Right, is your hand okay? Um, I mean your right hand . ”

“My right hand?”

Shui Yuner looked at her right hand suspiciously .

“Can you move it properly?”

Oh . Although Shui Yuner is confused, but she still did as she was told and moved her right hand .

“... Um, it seems fine . ”

Qi Qiqi nodded .

“What’s wrong?”

“That day... your hand was broken . Generally speaking, such an injury cannot be cured in such a short time . But the Young Ancestor used some unknown method to cure it within a week . ”

Shui Yuner opened he mouth to speak, but then hesitated .

“Um?”

Shui Yuner clutched the quilt covering her .

“Did I... get into trouble?”

“Well...”

Qi Qiqi remained silent for a while, and then nodded slowly .

“Yes, you caused a lot of trouble to Merak Temple...”

Probably because she doesn’t know if she should say it, Qi Qiqi shut her mouth, embarrassed .

“Temple Master Qi, please tell me!”

Shui Yuner urgently wants to know what happened .

If she really did something bad, she can’t ignore it .

She can’t avoid it .

Otherwise, when something unavoidable comes her way in the future, a heavier sense of guilt will engulf her .

Unable to beat it, Qi Qiqi sighed .

“At that time, you were controlled by Phecda, and then went out of control . ”

With this, Shui Yuner finally remembered .

At that time, her consciousness was torn apart by Phecda, and sank into darkness .

She still remembers the feeling from that time .

It’s a sense of loss, as if falling into an abyss and drifting away .

“You destroyed half of the martial arts ground, harmed dozens of outer temple disciples, and injured the vice-Temple Master Ye who came to stop you...”

Qi Qiqi narrated lightly, as if it is none of her concern .

Shui Yuner can’t see the emotions hidden behind Qi Qiqi’s expressionless beautiful face .

“She was also injured . ”

What have I done? Shui Yuner gazed at her trembling hands .

I have made up my mind not to implicate others, but in fact...? How many people have I harmed? And there’s still the Young Ancestor... I actually hurt her!

I... I... what did I do?!

There is a sense of suffocation .

Shui Yuner feels unwell .

She feels guilty and ashamed .

If she could, she would like to go back in time and change everything .

However, the past is set in stone .

In that case...

“I’m sorry, I... I will leave Merak Temple . ”

At least she can convey a bit of remorse .

Her voice is terribly hoarse .

Is this really my voice? Shui Yuner smiled wryly .

“The Law Enforcement Elder has been removed . ”

Qi Qiqi didn’t reply, but instead talked about something that seems completely unrelated .

“Why?”

“It was as punishment . ”

“Oh...”

Shui Yuner’s eyebrows twisted into waves, and she assumed a puzzled expression .

“You don’t understand why I’m talking about the Law Enforcement Elder, do you?”

Qi Qiqi asked with a faint smile, and Shui Yuner nodded frankly .

“It’s because he took half of the responsibility for you . This was originally just... well – a farce . ”

Shui Yuner didn’t ask why . She feels that she shouldn’t ask .

“Of course, you entered the Sword Mound without permission and made a mess of the tournament, so you can’t do without punishment . Generally speaking, you would have been expelled, but your derelict in duty Young Teacher stubbornly assumed the mantle of a senior in order to protect you . Without any other choice, I had to acquiesce . ”

“Young... Teacher? Are you referring to the Young Ancestor?”

“Well, she has decided to take you as a disciple... Of course, you can refuse . But even if you really say no, she’ll probably haunt you for a lifetime...”

With that, Qi Qiqi smiled heartily .

“Mhm, she is such a person . ”

The smile on her face must be that of bliss . Shui Yuner mused .

Then, Shui Yuner asked in a complex tone: “Where is she... where is the Young Ancestor?”

Xue Qilin is not here in the room .

Although Shui Yuner knows that she is being unreasonable, but she still hoped she could see the spirited lass when she woke up .

“What do you think of her?”

Then came an irrelevant question .

Shui Yuner doesn’t understand why Qi Qiqi suddenly asked this .

“I feel like she’s a very straightforward person... and a bit foolish?”

Qi Qiqi chuckled .

“Indeed, she’s usually really dumb... like a penguin . ”

“Penguin?”

“Oh, in fact, I also don’t know what it is... But according to Qilin, it’s a dumb animal . ”

“Although... Although she’s often foolish, but in some instances, she can see through people’s hearts, and is even a little reliable...”

Qi Qiqi’s tone is full of doting and pride, like she’s talking about her favorite sister .

Then, she gazed straight at Shui Yuner with a gentle look in her eyes .

“However, she would never deceive you, so please believe her . ”

“I...”

Shui Yuner doesn’t know what to say .

She really doesn’t know what to say .

Alright, or I can’t – it’s so simple, but she couldn’t say either .

“I don’t know what happened to you before, and I won’t look into it . But if words and promises can’t convince you, then...”

Qi Qiqi stood up and turned around .

“Come with me, Shui Yuner . ”

She tilted her head slightly, her scarlet eyes seemingly gazing into the distance .

“The thing you desire, she already prepared it for you . ”
