"You! You're talking nonsense!" Chang Le'an's lips trembled, and a sharp sound involuntarily escaped his throat.
"If Li Shuang gives it to you, you'll have this immense luck.
If she doesn't give it to you, what are you?"
Yan Fan's disdainful words echoed madly in his mind!
Chang Le'an suddenly looked at Li Shuang, and said in a somewhat flustered tone, "You explain it clearly to Yan Fan! This is my own luck, it has nothing to do with you at all! Li Shuang, explain it clearly right now!"
"Moreover, even when I was in the Sword Sect, I often had unexpected gains! After entering the secret realm, my luck was just further boosted. What does this have to do with you? Li Shuang! Are you lying with Yan Fan!"
Chang Le'an stared intently at Li Shuang.
Yan Fan sneered and glanced at Chang Le'an. He was lying? How ridiculous! Li Shuang had been devoted to her junior brother, but unfortunately, she ended up raising an ungrateful wretch.
Li Shuang's expression was indifferent.
She had never revealed the truth about his luck, naturally helping to conceal it at first.
Later, when Chang Le'an repeatedly accused her, she didn't explain either.
It wasn't that she was exceptionally kind.
It was just that.
For someone like Chang Le'an.
Letting him believe he had immense luck, letting him live in this illusory fantasy, until the day the fantasy shattered, he would become even more desperate.
She had the patience to wait for the day he would face a backlash.
But today.
Since Yan Fan had already exposed it, Li Shuang couldn't be bothered to hide it anymore.
She said calmly, "Chang Le'an, your background is complicated. When you first entered the sect, you were always ostracized by the disciples of Lingxu Peak. Do you still remember this?"
"Of course I remember!" Chang Le'an's expression twisted: "Those people were ignorant themselves, avoiding me like the plague at first, then clinging to me one by one when they discovered my immense luck."
Chang Le'an couldn't help but recall his glorious past: "In the Crescent Moon Pond within the sect, the rarest silver fish, other disciples couldn't catch them. I caught one every time, one after another! Isn't this a manifestation of my luck? You know, I never knew anything about fishing!"
As Chang Le'an spoke, he stared at Li Shuang.
He didn't know if he wanted to convince Li Shuang or himself.
Li Shuang said calmly, "You don't know how to fish, but I do. Those silver fish, I deliberately herded them to your fishing rod."
Chang Le'an's face stiffened for a moment, and he couldn't help but say again, "No! This is impossible! Alright, even if you explained away the silver fish incident, what about the lost treasures I found in the mountains?"
Li Shuang raised an eyebrow: "I placed them there beforehand."
The Sword Sect's territory was vast, with many mountains besides the sect itself.
Sword Sect disciples occasionally practiced in the surrounding mountain ranges, and among so many people, only Chang Le'an always had gains.
All of this made Chang Le'an firmly believe in his own luck.
At this moment.
Listening to Li Shuang's light words, Chang Le'an's face instantly turned ugly, and his voice became sharper: "You're lying! You must be lying! You shameless villain, why would you help me so much? You have no reason at all!"
Li Shuang hadn't spoken yet.
Yan Fan's expression grew colder as he listened, and he couldn't help but say, "You still don't understand? You come from a demonic background. Li Shuang did this to prevent you from being ostracized by the sect disciples, to help you integrate smoothly into the sect!"
He and Li Shuang had only met a few times, and they hadn't even exchanged many words.
But.
Just by listening, he roughly understood Li Shuang's intentions.
Chang Le'an had been with Li Shuang for more than ten years, so logically, he should know Li Shuang's character much better than himself.
Yet, he still hadn't understood Li Shuang's painstaking efforts until now?
At this moment.
Yan Fan couldn't help but feel that Li Shuang's efforts were unappreciated!
"She could be so kind!" Chang Le'an's heart was turbulent with emotion, and he couldn't help but shout out!
Yan Fan's meaning.
That his ability to integrate into the sect, to be taken in by True Master Lingxu, was all thanks to Li Shuang?
No, this was absolutely impossible!
He refused to admit it verbally, but his expression couldn't help but fall into a trance. He suddenly remembered a distant past event.
When he first entered the sect, he was forcibly assigned to Lingxu Peak.
True Master Lingxu ignored him, and the disciples around him also kept their distance.
Although he had a single earth spiritual root, being constantly rejected and questioned like this, his emotions fluctuated, and his cultivation was always affected.
Late that night.
He stood in pain at the edge of a cliff, even thinking about jumping down and ending it all.
At this time.
A clear, cold voice called out to him.
It was Li Shuang.
She seemed not to notice his desire to die, merely telling him indifferently to return to the disciple's residence and not wander around anymore.
That time, he truly wanted to die, but after being stopped once, the desire to die seemed less urgent.
As the senior sister, Li Shuang was always very busy.
But for a while after that, she spent more time within Lingxu Peak, and she stopped other disciples from ostracizing him more than once.
But.
It was useless.
These disciples were friendly and kind to him in front of Li Shuang.
But privately, they still subconsciously rejected him.
He was still as alone as before.
At that time.
It was Li Shuang who told him.
She said, "People cannot choose their origins, but they can choose their future. As long as you persevere, everything will get better."
And so.
Everything really did get better.
He began to show his luck, and the surrounding disciples slowly began to get closer to him.
He also slowly gained confidence, and his cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds.
He thought he was truly the chosen one.
But it turned out.
All of this was just due to another person's gentle care?
Chang Le'an's lips trembled incessantly.
He didn't believe it!
He absolutely didn't believe it!
"You wasted so much cultivation time for these fools?" Yan Fan couldn't help but say.
Li Shuang glanced at him, her voice calm: "Senior Brother Yan, instead of caring about these past events, you might as well think about how to deal with the current situation."
These sand scorpions weren't strong, but this was a desert, and the number of such monsters was endless.
Beside them, a golden-winged eagle was eyeing them covetously.
These few people were idly talking about the past.
Li Shuang didn't regret her past efforts. Her heart was always sincere.
She regretted even less giving up on past feelings. Her path was incredibly broad and bright; as long as she kept walking, there would naturally be new horizons.
Yan Fan pursed his lips and said, "I've always seen you as my biggest goal. I've imagined our reunion many times. I practiced my sword desperately, hoping that one day I could surpass you. But now, I've entered the Soul Transformation stage, while you're still in the Qi Condensation stage. I thought I could surpass you, but I never imagined I would do it this way."
Li Shuang cast a sidelong glance at Yan Fan, her voice calm: "You don't need to be too regretful. Don't worry, it won't be long before you're chasing my shadow again."
Li Shuang's voice was light, filled with powerful confidence.
