Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1459 Is the Demon-Slaying Aunt Still Alive?

Looking at Shen Tianqi in the Spirit Sound Mirror, Yun Shuang'er would have thought she was looking in a mirror if it weren't for the wrong clothes.

"cousin!"

This was the first time Yun Shuang'er had shown a look of surprise and joy in the three days since she learned that her birth mother, Shen Fuyao, was still alive.

Shen Tianqi's expression was calm, but there was an undeniable complexity in the depths of his eyes.

During this time, she had been deliberately avoiding Yun Shuang'er and Ye Feng.

She didn't want to hurt Yun Shuang'er because of herself.

Shen Tianqi is a very clear-headed person, not someone who is blinded by love.

She knew that Ye Feng deeply loved Yun Shuang'er, and that their relationship was the real one, while she was more like a third party who had interfered.

Shuang'er once said she didn't mind, but it wasn't until the last time at the Sage's Pavilion in the capital that Shen Tianqi understood Shuang'er's true feelings.

Shen Tianqi didn't blame Yun Shuang'er, because love is inherently selfish.

If it were me, I would definitely be unhappy if someone stole the man I loved.

Therefore, Shen Tianqi chose to leave with the ancestor and Senior Qingyun.

Shen Tianqi said softly, "Shuang'er, it's been a long time."

"Cousin, why are you avoiding me? I try to contact you every day using the Spirit Mirror, but you never respond..."

Shen Tianqi showed a hint of apology on his face and said, "I have been by the side of the Ancestor and Senior Qingyun recently, taking care of their daily life and cultivating. Most of the time I have kept the Spirit Sound Mirror in my storage bag."

Yun Shuang'er naturally did not believe Shen Tianqi's explanation.

Shen Tianqi's Spirit Sound Mirror only contains himself and three or four friends, including Ye Feng. His friend list doesn't have hundreds of people, so there's no need for him to keep the Spirit Sound Mirror in his storage bag all the time.

Yun Shuang'er knew that Shen Tianqi was deliberately avoiding her so that she and Ye Feng could be together.

However, Yun Shuang'er did not expose Shen Tianqi's lie to his face.

"Cousin, where are you now?"

"I am outside the Great Wall."

"Outside the pass?"

Yun Shuang'er was slightly stunned.

Shen Tianqi turned the Spirit Sound Mirror to show Yun Shuang'er the environment of her location.

There was a bonfire not far ahead, where you could see the ancestor and Senior Qingyun drinking and chatting.

All around was an endless expanse of yellow sand, and in the sky were bright moons and stars.

There are deserts only outside the Great Wall.

They are indeed outside the pass.

Shen Tianqi asked, "Shuang'er, where are you?"

"I returned to Xingluo Peak today."

"Oh, you went back? Did Aunt Yuying punish you?"

Yun Shuang'er gently shook her head and said, "No, you know, my master has always loved me dearly since I was little, she won't punish me."

"That's good."

After uttering those three words, Shen Tianqi stopped speaking.

The two sisters grew up together, but a rift developed between them after Yun Shuang'er left Yu Mu Peak.

They only reconciled more than six months ago.

But now, in just half a month, an invisible chasm seems to have appeared between them.

Yun Shuang'er bit her lip and said, "Cousin, aren't you going to ask about Xiao Feng's recent situation?"

Shen Tianqi said, "I already knew about Xiao Feng being kidnapped by Fairy Lingyin three days ago. The Ancestor and Senior Qingyun told me not to worry, Xiao Feng will be fine."

Now that you're back at Xingluo Peak, it means Xiaofeng is safe. What difference does it make whether I ask or not?

"Cousin, I know you want to let Xiaofeng and me be together..."

"Shuang'er..."

Shen Tianqi interrupted Yun Shuang'er, saying, "Xiao Feng is yours to begin with, and it has nothing to do with whether I grant your wish or not."

"Cousin, I know you like Xiaofeng. Didn't we agree on this before? Why are you distancing yourself from us now?"

A faint smile appeared on Shen Tianqi's beautiful face as she reached out and grabbed a handful of fine sand beside her.

She placed her hand in front of the Spirit Sound Mirror and kept applying force, but the more force she applied, the faster the fine sand slipped from her hand.

Finally, Shen Tianqi casually tossed the fine sand in his hand.

"Shuang'er, I met Xiaofeng too late. If I had been the one accompanying him in the bamboo forest behind the mountain, I would not have given up. But that person was not me."

Just like this fine sand, if you can't hold it, you might as well let it go.

And now I've figured it out. I'm still young, and by following Senior Qingyun and our ancestors, I'm learning so much every day. I'm not bragging, but you're no longer my match.

Perhaps this is God's compensation to me.

I don't have many thoughts about matters of the heart right now. All I want to do right now is to learn from my two seniors and master their skills.

Hearing Shen Tianqi's words, Yun Shuang'er's expression gradually darkened.

In matters of the heart, everyone is selfish, regardless of gender.

Yun Shuang'er likes Ye Feng, and she feels very comfortable and at ease with him.

She certainly didn't want other women to share the man she liked.

However, she didn't have much resistance to Shen Tianqi.

During the time they spent training together on the mountain, Yun Shuang'er had figured things out.

She could share Ye Feng with her cousin, and the three of them would live together forever, inseparable.

Yun Shuang'er was surprised that Shen Tianqi had chosen to leave.

She didn't want Ye Feng to cause another rift between her and Shen Tianqi.

But Yun Shuang'er doesn't dare to say that she's withdrawing to let her cousin and Ye Feng be together.

So Yun Shuang'er could only fall silent.

Shen Tianqi smiled and comforted her, "Shuang'er, you don't need to think too much. I've figured it out myself. Right now, I need to focus on cultivation. When my cultivation level is higher, I'll start thinking about matters between men and women. Maybe I'll come back to you then. Don't drive me away then!"

"Cousin, I'm so sorry, it's all because of me..."

"Don't say that. You've always been aloof, so it's not easy for you to find a man you like. My mother and I used to worry that you'd never get married. Now that you've found Xiaofeng, we're relieved."

Looking at Shen Tianqi in the mirror, Yun Shuang'er's expression grew increasingly complicated. Her eyes began to redden, and it seemed as if they were filled with tears.

Upon seeing this, Shen Tianqi frowned and asked, "Shuang'er, what's wrong? Did Xiao Feng bully you?"

Yun Shuang'er shook her head and said, "No, he treats me very well. Cousin, I have a question for you, and you must tell me the truth."

Shen Tianqi was slightly taken aback and said, "Why do you look so serious? What is it? Go ahead and ask."

Yun Shuang'er bit her lip, as if she had mustered up a great deal of courage, and slowly said, "Cousin, do you know that my mother is still alive?"

"What? Shuang'er, I don't understand? Who are you saying is still alive?"

"My mother is the goddess who subdues demons."

Shen Tianqi's expression froze, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "Aunt Fuyao? How is that possible? Aunt Fuyao has been dead for twenty-five years. We still often go to her grave to pay our respects. How could she still be alive? Shuang'er, what exactly happened?"
