บท 12: Her Sudden Estrangement

The sky is vast with infinite blue.

White clouds hovering above the sky, blending together with the ray of sunshine.

The nature is vibrant, the clear sound of the water in the lake when the breeze touched the surface of the lake, echoed.

The brilliant light of the sun shone on a pretty girl with a snow white hair who was closing her eyes, immersing herself in her peaceful sleeping.

The long butterfly eyelashes shook slightly before those pair of mesmerizing ruby eyes opened.

She woke up, washed her face as she stood up.

Along the way back to her cave, the surrounding was quiet. She guessed correctly, everyone hasn't returned yet.

Her cave located far away from everyone's.

She then changed her simple robe to wear the sect's uniform. The Eternal Celestial sect uniform was pure white with the golden dragon embroidered at the edge of the dress, on the collars and the shoulders.

These dragons embroidery was only for the core-disciple to wear.

The inner disciples wore the same white hanfu. The different was, the dragons which embroidered on their dresses were silver-white.

The outer disciples' uniforms are white and there was only a white dragon embroidered on their both side of their sleeves.

Luckily, the sect uniform wasn't narrow but perfectly fit her body even if she grew taller.

Finished every thing, she tied the disciple token around her waist and a small space bag. She thought of a thing before her figure disappeared into the small world.

She went to the Crystal Fairy Lake, and took out the spirit stones with her thought.

Thus, she found out that, some spirit stones has been purified, even the dead leaf which she threw on the lake yesterday was vibrant now.

She felt astonished. She then walked to see the spirit plants field. There, she was again amazed to find out that some of the spirit plants began to sprout while most of the flowers and plants already grew up.

Because the spiritual power here is five time stronger and purer than the spiritual power outside, and a day outside is 24 days inside the small world, so these plants grew very fast.

She picked up fifty of spirit grass, and ten spirit flowers to put in a wooden box for keeping the freshness of the plants before she put the box into her space bag.

She opened the barrier with her spiritual power which protected the entire Misty Moon Peak as she got out. The barrier again enveloped the entire peak after she got out.

Impressive and grand buildings are standing highly up to the sky. There was no word to describe the majestic architecture style more than one word 'magnificent'!

There were countless ancient pavilions and halls, along the way. The sect is very lively and vibrant.

Along the way, she encountered numerous inner disciples in the inner zone. They looked at her curiously.

"Greeting sect sister Xue."

"Greeting senior sister Xue."

(If the disciples call her senior sister, there are two reasons. Firstly, that was because they respect her. Secondly, because she was at the sect before them. Some of them are the later generations who just joined the sect five or ten years ago.)

Some people recognized her because of her unique hair color and eyes. Moreover, her core disciple uniform made them easily recognize her.

Who didn't know that, thirteen years ago, their sect master brought two girls from outside and declared that from then on, the twin sisters will be his close disciple.

Zhang Qingsheng, was the Eternal Celestial sect master. His identity was high above and everyone respected him very much. Many people admired his strength. Unfortunately, not many people have seen his appearance because the time when he appeared in front of everyone was very few.

"Hmm." Xiu Wanxue nodded. Her attitude was lukewarm. Her expression was plain and alienated.

The inner disciples looked at each other with confusion. What happen to their sect sister today?

In the past, she always smile at them gently and greet them with enthusiasm. Today, she suddenly turned cold that they weren't used to her attitude.

"Sect sister xue, did we offend you?" A disciple asked with a caution.

"No." She replied shortly before she continued to walk and ignored everyone.

Everyone scratched their heads with embarrassment and confusion. It seemed like they really offended her somehow.

"Who told you to praise sect sister Xia and compare her to sect sister Xue last time? See, now, sect sister Xue ignored us." The man slapped his friend's head fiercely.

"Ouch! Shouldn't sect sister Xue be happy if we compare her with sect sister Xia?" The man was confused. Did she overheard their conversation three days ago?

"Are you an idiot? Who will be happy if you compare them to others for no reason?"

"I'm sorry." The man lowered his head pitifully. He was wrong. He shouldn't have said that sect sister Xia's sapphire blue eyes were more attractive than sect sister Xue's ruby eyes.

"Now that you know you're wrong, why don't you hurry to go and apologize to her?"

"Will she kill me?" He thought of Xiu Wanxue's plain expression and shuddered.

"She was so kind, do you think that she will kill you?" They scolded him fiercely before they ignored the men and went to the lecture hall to learn a new subject of spell with depression.

"Wait for me!!" He will find a good time to apologize to her. He didn't dare to go now.

....

[Business Zone, Eternal Celestial Sect]

The market in the sect was prosperous and vigorous. Many disciples from all zone gathered here to do their business.

The sect allowed them to do the business but the sect will charge them 5% of their income from their business.

Xiu Wanxue reduced her sense of existence. Even so, her white hair still attracted people's attention.

"Sect sister Xue, what bring you here today? Do you wish to come and see my new weapons?" A disciple who was seeking the weapon asked with enthusiasm.

"Sect sister Xue, I have the level 3 spirit beast core today for selling. Would you like to purchase?"

"Sect sister Xue, I've got several new healing herbs today in stock. Would you like to check?"

In the past, Xiu Wanxue often appeared in the business zone to accompany Xiu Wanxia for shopping after they were free from practice.

She and Xiu Wanxia helped the other disciples to buy the things which they were selling. Most of the spirit stones were given to them by Xiu Wanxia because Xiu Wanxia took the initiative to pay.

Xiu Wanxia never lacked the spirit stones in her space ring and space artifacts so that she would always spend her spirit stones on people. Everyone here was grateful for Xiu Wanxia's kindness.

She ignored everyone's call.

Everyone who was ignored by Xiu Wanxue, twitched their lips. Which bastards infuriated her?

Xiu Wanxue walked faster to a direction without turning her head. No matter how much she wanted to help them, she forced herself not to look back.

'Why would she try to act kind in front of us? Does she afraid that we will tell the sect senior brothers about what have she done to sect sister Xia so she wants to bribe us with the spirit stones?'

'She doesn't have to pretend. Sect sister Xia alone is enough for us. We really don't need her spirit stones and hypocrite kindness.'

Her memory from the previous life flashed. Her face was expressionless along the way.
