Chapter 290.3: Just Before Parting
“The Temple Lord said the same thing when I saw the Temple Lord the very first time.” Qing Yu replied.
“Yes I did. But I have been dreaming constantly of that person recently. Seeing much she looked like you, I just could not help thinking about her.” Qing Luo Yan halted in her steps, and turned herself around to look at her as she spoke.
Qing Yu’s eyes glinted darkly.
Is she….. testing her here?
Having led her to fall into those dreams, the woman would naturally see her mother often. But in order to gain the woman’s trust, she had not made her dream anymore for a very long time. So, how could the woman possibly still continue to dream of her mother constantly?
Has she begun to suspect something?
Or could it be that Cang Jian would really rather have all the fish die then destroy the net, and have told Qing Luo Yan everything?
That is quite improbable. He would probably not exact vengeance in such a foolish manner onto himself.
Qing Yu thought through many things in just that one instant but her face did not change in the slightest, but just maintained a smile as she looked at the woman and said: “It just makes me wonder who is this person that you are thinking of so frequently.”
“She is actually my youngest sister.” Qing Luo Yan’s lips stiffened as she opened her mouth to reply.
Qing Yu was a little surprised for a moment, never thinking that she would really reveal it to her. She had thought that the woman would just mention any name to casually brush her off.
Having mentioned that person, Qing Luo Yan seemed to lose herself in her past memories, the expression on her face suddenly softening and looking more tender. “When I was a child, my gift was one of the most outstanding among all my other siblings, and hence became exceptionally proud and arrogant, that also caused all of them to be highly displeased with me, making our relationship frosty and distant. I have ten other siblings but I was only closer to just this youngest little sister of mine.”
“It could be because she was the one and only person who was not bothered no matter how harsh and cold my words were to her, she was the only fool who was still willing to be friendly to me.”
“My other sisters could not stand me and they were always thinking of ways to bully and make fun of me, putting in all kinds of strange bugs and insects in my clothes, or making a horrible mess of them. When she saw that happen, she took all her own dresses and gave them all to me, before going on to get rid of all those ruined clothes of mine in secret, so that I will not have to see them.”
Speaking up to that point, Qing Luo Yan could not help but to laugh softly, her gaze lowering slightly before she continued. “It was because she was afraid that I would be sad, though I do not care about such things at all. She always thought that I was rather fragile and pitiful, and would always try to be nicer to me.”
“But she was clearly the youngest one among us, the one who should be required to be cared for the most.”
