It's All My Fault, Don't Blame Sister

Chuzhou fell into thought upon hearing his mother's words. After a long pause, he asked, "Mother, how old is my little sister now?"

Fairy Xueyun paused.

"Three and a half, almost four."

Chuzhou continued to ask, "Mother, has my little sister shown any signs of becoming a Demonic Cultivator?"

Fairy Xueyun: "This... the people I sent back reported no such signs. However, Jiang Yao said..."

Chuzhou had been gone for three to five years. The last time he saw his sister, she was still in their mother's womb.

He knew that enemies had deliberately lured his parents out back then, drawing his father away and severely injuring his mother. This forced his mother to hide in a small family to give birth, which led to his sister being swapped.

Fortunately, the Myriad Talisman Sect tested bloodlines and spiritual roots at the age of three, which allowed them to find his sister.

Therefore, he was meeting both of his sisters for the first time. But even at this first meeting, he had a preconceived notion of which one he would prefer.

Now, he preferred his own biological sister even more.

"Mother, don't mind what Jiang Yao said. Just look at what you've done yourself.

Have you ever considered that our sister is so small right now, still innocent and carefree? That's all in the future.

You can't negate the present because of what might happen in the future. Think about how you risked your life to protect our sister back then.

If we watch over our sister and dote on her, I don't believe she'll turn into a Demonic Cultivator. Besides, not all Demonic Cultivators are bad people; they can also cultivate the Great Dao.

Uh, that's not the point. The point is, I think since Sister Jiang Yao has already revealed heavenly secrets, she has become a variable."

Fairy Xueyun felt that her eldest son's words made sense.

"What you said makes sense, dear. I've been overly worried lately, only thinking about her becoming a Demonic Cultivator and slaughtering our Myriad Talisman Sect. I've thought so much, even feeling sad, distressed, and anxious. Alas, you've just made me realize.

I truly feel I've been thinking wrongly, worrying about things that haven't happened. It's better to spend time with my sister right now."

Chuzhou smiled with relief when he saw his mother had come to her senses.

"Mother, every effect has a cause. Without a cause, how can there be an effect?"

Fairy Xueyun shook her head.

"I was blinded by trivialities, lost in delusion.

Come, let's go see your sister. Oh, right, did you suddenly break through this time because of Wanwan?"

Chuzhou smiled and nodded.

"Sister has some fortuitous encounters. Mother, why worry about things that haven't happened? You've been distant towards her lately; she must be feeling sad. Let's go. I'm not in a hurry to go into seclusion to stabilize my cultivation. I'll spend more time playing with her."

Fairy Xueyun felt relieved after opening her mind. After all, this was the child she had given birth to while severely injured.

"Don't be silly! You need to go into seclusion immediately to consolidate your cultivation. I'll take care of your sister; you can rest assured that I'll play with her!"

Chuzhou felt at ease seeing his mother like this.

However, there was still one person to deal with.

Walking with Fairy Xueyun, Chuzhou went straight to True Person Nanchen. He suddenly made a move and immobilized him, only taking two breaths.

He took Jiang Wan from True Person Nanchen's arms and placed her in Fairy Xueyun's embrace. Then, before True Person Nanchen could move, he dragged him into a room and activated the formation!

This action stunned Jiang Wan.

It's over, I wanted to see them get together.

But holding her, Fairy Xueyun felt a little awkward. She was sure she would be put down soon.

To her surprise, Fairy Xueyun continued to hold her, showing no intention of putting her down.

She tentatively called out, "Mother?"

What's wrong with my mother?

Fairy Xueyun smiled kindly at her.

"What's wrong, Wanwan?

Mother will take you to play. What do you want to play?"

Jiang Wan's first reaction was to be flattered.

Her second reaction was: Is she going to abandon me?

"I want... to eat something."

For the rest of the day, Jiang Wan couldn't find an opportunity to complete her Daily Good Deed.

She was taken by Fairy Xueyun to hunt a low-level Phoenix Tail Chicken and then had it roasted for her.

After eating, Fairy Xueyun told her stories.

At this moment, Jiang Wan was drowsy listening to the stories.

"Mother, Mother, you're here. Why is little sister here too?"

Jiang Wan, who had been nodding her little head, suddenly became alert. Jiang Yao was here, did that mean she could go back?

When Jiang Yao saw Jiang Wan was also there, she paused for a moment. Then, smiling, she went over to Fairy Xueyun's side and greeted Jiang Wan.

"Little sister is here too. I just picked some spiritual fruits and wanted to give them to Mother to eat. Little sister, you can have some too!"

Fairy Xueyun nodded with a smile, looking at the two young sisters.

Although Jiang Yao was an adopted daughter, she had a kind heart, loved her sisters, and had even dreamed of a sword immortal bestowing power upon her – a person of great fortune.

Jiang Wan was also well-behaved and sensible now.

As she was thinking, she heard Jiang Yao exclaim.

"Little sister, you can't knock over the plate just because you don't like it. If you want to eat something else, just tell me, and I'll bring it for you next time."

Jiang Wan felt so tired. A golden light flashed in her eyes. Jiang Yao's fortune above her head was actually purple, but thankfully, it was only a light shade of purple.

Crazy woman, putting on such an act. Does she want an Oscar?

Fairy Xueyun came over to check.

"What happened?"

Jiang Yao shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

"It's nothing. I was giving little sister spiritual fruits, but I didn't hold the plate steady and knocked it over. It's my fault, I wasn't holding it properly. Mother, please don't blame little sister."

Jiang Wan took a deep breath, clenching her small fists.

She looked around. No one was there. Good, that meant no one could testify for her.

Fairy Xueyun looked over, and Jiang Wan pointed at the plate.

"Are you crazy? She knocked it over herself. If you don't believe me, use your spiritual sense to check. There aren't even my fingerprints on the plate. I didn't even touch it, so how can you blame me?"

Boring. I'd rather go do my Daily Good Deed!

It's more interesting to feed dogs than to be with this Jiang Yao.

Fairy Xueyun, surprisingly, did not side with Jiang Yao this time. Instead, she walked over and took both their hands.

She first comforted Jiang Yao.

"Alright, Yao'er, don't worry. Mother won't blame your little sister. We know you didn't hold it steady, just be more careful next time."

Then she turned to Jiang Wan.

"Wanwan, be good. Yao'er isn't blaming you; she's even protecting you. She already said she knocked it over herself, and it has nothing to do with you. You two are the only little ones in your generation. You must get along well in the future."

Jiang Wan was amused by her mother's words.

"Mother is right. Mother, I want to go back and cultivate now."

Fairy Xueyun nodded, picked her up, and said to Jiang Yao, "Yao'er, play by yourself for now. I'll take Wanwan back."

Jiang Yao watched Fairy Xueyun carrying Jiang Wan away, her expression growing increasingly gloomy.

What's going on? What's with Fairy Xueyun's attitude towards Jiang Wan? Why did it suddenly change?

Jiang Wan was sent back by Fairy Xueyun, who then instructed someone to take good care of her before leaving.

As soon as she left, Jiang Wan's spirits immediately lifted, and she turned and ran out.

Fairy Xueyun, who hadn't gone far, sensed her movement with her spiritual sense.

Puzzled by her actions, she circulated her spiritual power, concealed her form, and followed behind her, wanting to see what this little girl was in such a hurry to run out for.
