"Eldest Senior Sister, I know you can hear me. Please come out and save Jin Er."
Knowing that it was her Eldest Senior Sister who trapped her in the cave, Su'Er was anxious, but she was not angry. Instead, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. She knew very well that even if her Eldest Senior Sister did not come out, all she could do was delay as much time as possible. She could not save little Jin Er.
Unfortunately, Eldest Senior Sister didn't show up, nor did she respond. Instead, it was Nalan Qianqiu who looked at the anxious Su 'Er. He didn't have the heart to reprimand Su' Er anymore. Instead, he tried to persuade her, "Junior Sister, how is our Eldest Senior Sister going to save him? Little Jin Er is the bane of the Lawless Era. "
"You know better than anyone that the three thousand Grand Daos will definitely not tolerate her existence, and will definitely not hesitate to kill her. Regardless of whether little Jin 'er's existence will threaten the world, and regardless of whether little Jin' er will harm all living beings in the world, it will still be the same.
"They can't afford to gamble, they can't afford to lose, they don't dare to gamble, and they never gamble."
"Let me tell you this. Today, even if your Eldest Senior Sister comes out to help you save little Jin Er and successfully prevent little Jin Er from fusing with the blood moon and not awakening, the 3,000 Great Ways will still not let her go. In the face of a possible threat, whether it is the 3,000 Great Ways or the world, they would rather kill the wrong person than let her go."
"That guy surnamed Gu is a very good example. That guy is so abnormal, mysterious, unpredictable, and not to be trifled with. How many times have the 3,000 Great Ways suffered at his hands? Over and over again, countless times. Even the Heavenly Ways can't do anything to that guy now. I'm afraid that as long as they mention that guy surnamed Gu, they will feel pain. If possible, I believe that they would rather settle things peacefully and not waste time with him. "
"In the world, who doesn't know that Gu is not to be trifled with? But the point is, even if they can't be trifled with, they still have to. After all, Gu is the original sinner of the Lawless Era. Everyone is afraid of him! "
"Although little Jin Er is not an original sinner, she is the bane of this era. She is even worse than the one surnamed Gu. The one surnamed Gu is not to be trifled with, even the three thousand great daos did not let him go, let alone a little Jin Er."
It wasn't that Su 'Er didn't understand Nalan Qianqiu's words, but even so, she still didn't want to give up. Even if the chances were slim, she still wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately, no matter how much she begged, her eldest senior sister still didn't respond.
"Eldest Senior Sister, I'm begging you … please!"
Su 'Er didn't know if her Grand Senior Sister would be able to save little Jin Er, but she knew that if her Grand Senior Sister stepped in, her chances would be higher than hers. Most importantly, she knew that her Grand Senior Sister had always doted on her, so she kept begging.
As expected.
In the end, Grand Senior Sister could no longer hold herself back. Her ethereal voice came from the cave abode.
"Little Junior Sister, why must you save that girl?"
"Why?"
Su 'Er paused for a moment before replying, "Perhaps it's because of a hope."
"A hope?"
"Yes, a hope. I've lived two lives, and whether it's my past life or this life, everything is fated by karma. Thus, from the day I was born, I was handcuffed by the shackles of fate … In this life, or the next, I may never be able to break free from the shackles of fate."
Grand Senior Sister replied, "If you're like this, then who isn't? All living things are like this, and little Jin Er is no exception."
"Yes, I admit that all living things are like this, and little Jin Er is no exception. It's precisely because of this that I don't want to give up. Fated karma isn't scary, nor is fate's arrangement. What's scary is that we know it, but we can't escape it."
"How could Little Jin 'er be able to escape from the karma and the arrangement of fate?"
"It's precisely because little Jin Er can't escape that I want to help her."
"You want to help her escape fate's arrangement?"
"No! Grand Senior Sister, you've misunderstood me. I don't want to help little Jin Er escape fate's arrangement; I don't have the ability to do that. I just want little Jin Er to live a carefree and innocent life. As long as she can live like this, I'll be very happy … "
This was indeed what Su 'Er was thinking, and it was also her hope, as well as her spiritual sustenance.
Su 'Er, who had lived two lives, had experienced many things: light, darkness, evil, kindness, hypocrisy, deceit, and so on … she felt that people were too complicated, and the world was too complicated … she had fallen into this kind of life, and she didn't want the innocent little Jin Er to fall into this kind of life.
In Su 'Er's heart, the pure and innocent little Jin' er was the only source of light in this world of darkness, as well as the only pure land in this world. She didn't want the only source of light in this world, the only pure land, to be devoured by this darkness, this filth, and this complicated world.
This was her hope.
Perhaps Nalan Qianqiu didn't understand, but the Grand Senior Sister seemed to. After a while, the Grand Senior Sister sighed.
"Why do you have to do this?"
"Eldest Senior Sister, don't you always say that as long as a person is alive, there must be hope? If there is no hope, then we are just like the walking dead. My hope is that Little Jin 'er can live on, carefree and innocent. As long as she is alive, I will be very happy. When I see her smile, I will also smile … I think Eldest Senior Sister must be like me, hoping that the innocent Little Jin' er can live on, isn't that so?"
After a moment of silence, the Grand Senior Sister's voice sounded out, "I can't save her."
This sentence extinguished Su 'Er's rekindled hope. She knew that if the Grand Senior Sister couldn't save her, then she really couldn't.
It was just that Su 'Er couldn't accept this result at all. She stood there in a daze, and felt despair as she muttered, "Is … is there really no other way?"
"Little Junior Sister, the crux of the problem now isn't that the Three Thousand Great Ways can't tolerate little Jin Er, but that little Jin Er can't tolerate herself either. The Three Thousand Great Ways don't want little Jin Er to become a threat, and she also doesn't want to become a threat. As you said, little Jin Er is innocent, and her heart is pure and kind. She's so pure that she doesn't have any distracting thoughts, and so kind that she can't even bear to step on flowers and plants. How can such a little Jin Er want to become a threat to the world and an existence that endangers the common people?"
The Grand Senior Sister's words made Su 'Er's heart skip a beat. Only now did she realize that she was only thinking about how to save little Jin Er, and completely ignored little Jin Er's inner feelings. She also clearly remembered that little Jin Er had been struggling bitterly in the blood-red light pillar. However, little Jin Er's struggle wasn't to live, but to not wake up, and only wanted to die.
Thinking of this.
Su 'Er slumped to the ground, her devastatingly beautiful face turning ashen as she fell into despair. She closed her eyes as tears streamed down her face. The last bit of light in her heart was being eroded bit by bit by bit by the darkness, and the last bit of pure land was being devoured bit by bit by bit.
"Junior Sister, don't be discouraged. I can't save little Jin Er, but that doesn't mean that others can't."
