He looked at the breathtaking figure before him, as beautiful as a celestial maiden, her lovely form impossible to conceal beneath her blue dress, and spoke softly.
Now he could be certain: she was the Saintess of the Dao Yi Sacred Sect!
The original text had described her clearly.
Especially her cool temperament and presence—she was not hard to recognize at all.
Noticing Su Changqing's gaze,
Ling Qianxue's body trembled slightly, and her breathing grew a little faster.
"What Su Changqing said... must be true. He really was reborn!!"
She noticed the endless vicissitudes in Su Changqing's deep eyes, and believed him all the more!
But what should she say?
She had thought she only needed to work up the courage, but now that she stood in front of Su Changqing, she didn't know how to begin.
They just looked at each other in silence.
At last,
Ling Qianxue took a deep breath and said, somewhat awkwardly, "Senior Brother..."
This was the first time she had ever addressed Su Changqing that way!
In truth, the person before her really was her senior brother!
It was just that she and the Holy Son Su Changqing had never been close.
In fact,
she had always foolishly wanted to compete with Su Changqing and prove herself better than him!
Thinking back on it now, the Holy Son had always been holding back for her.
And after learning what the future held, Ling Qianxue now looked at Su Changqing...
A faint blush appeared on her face, and she grew even more awkward!

At that moment,
Su Changqing looked at the awkward Ling Qianxue before him and revealed a rare, gentle smile.
"Junior Sister."
He seemed quite at ease, his eyes roaming over her.
And precisely because of that,
Ling Qianxue was at a loss when faced with Su Changqing's warm smile.
"He... he..."
"Does Senior Brother think I'm my future self?"
For some reason, her heart hurt even more.
This was the first time she had ever seen her senior brother smile like this. And the vicissitudes in his eyes—what on earth had he gone through?
She could even...
see a flash of delight in her senior brother's eyes.
He'd written in the diary that there was someone he wanted to see. Could he have meant her?
At the thought,
Ling Qianxue's heart began to race, and she looked away, speaking softly. "Senior Brother, congratulations on breaking through to the Saint Realm and securing your place as the strongest Holy Son of the Dao Yi Sacred Sect..."
"The strongest Holy Son? An empty title, nothing more..."
Su Changqing let out a self-deprecating laugh.
Seeing that,
Ling Qianxue hesitated. It seemed... her senior brother really had given up.
"Senior Brother... you..."
"Junior Sister, to outsiders, Sainthood may seem unattainable, but... there's no end to the path of cultivation. What does being a Saint or the strongest Holy Son matter? It's all just fleeting. This senior brother only wants to live out this lifetime in peace."
Su Changqing shook his head and smiled.
At that,
Ling Qianxue was shaken. Her senior brother didn't know she had already learned about the future, so...
Had he given up?!
"Senior Brother!"
The scenes from her diary rose in her mind: Su Changqing resisting until his very last moment. Her expression turned serious as she said, "Do you remember? Our Sect Master—our master—used to tell us when we were young that only by growing stronger could we obtain what we wanted!"
"I may not know what you want, Senior Brother, but... I can tell your mindset has changed!"
"An empty title? A fleeting dream? It's easy to say you'll live this lifetime in peace, but you... you're the Holy Son of the Dao Yi Sacred Sect! If Sainthood isn't enough, then aim for the Immortal Platform, the Supreme Realm, the Quasi-Emperor Realm..."
"With your talent, there's no end to the path of cultivation—so go all the way to the end!"
After saying all that in one breath, her gaze grew even more resolute.
No matter what, she couldn't let her senior brother give up on himself!
She couldn't bear to see that!
Su Changqing looked surprised and drew a deep breath. "Junior Sister... you..."
"Senior Brother, I've always been chasing after you on my own, hoping to surpass you. But now I understand—you were holding back for me!"
"There's no end to the path of cultivation, Senior Brother. If you don't try, how can you know there's no end?"
"From now on... from now on, you'll walk ahead, and I'll always be right behind you!"
As Ling Qianxue spoke, her heart raced faster and faster. By the end, her whole body was burning.
For some reason, after saying all that, she felt much lighter.
But at that moment,
the disciples of the sacred sect, who had heard that the Saintess was heading to Sacred Son Peak and had come to watch, were utterly dumbfounded!
"Th-this... the Holy Son... the Saintess... are they...?"
"Oh my god!!!"
"'I'll always be right behind you'... tsk, the Saintess is confessing to the Holy Son? No way?!!"
"Ah!!! Wh-what did I just hear?!"
Every one of them stared wide-eyed, as if struck by thunder!
The Saintess, who had never been close to the Holy Son and had barely interacted with him, had said so many astonishing things!
What had happened?
What on earth was going on???
At once,
shocked cries rang out from all directions!
Everyone stood frozen, drawing in sharp breaths!
In their eyes, the Holy Son and the Saintess belonged to two different worlds. There was no way they could have anything to do with each other.
But now...
the Saintess, who was like a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg, had said something so shocking!
Not only were they baffled, they felt dizzy, as if they were dreaming!
Hearing the cries around her and seeing more and more disciples gathering to watch,
Ling Qianxue looked uneasy. Her usually cool face was even redder than before.
At that moment,
Su Changqing looked at the uncomfortable Ling Qianxue before him and felt secretly delighted.
"So that's how it is? Good!"
