Chapter 1167: The Consequences of Changing the Past?

Chapter 1167: The Consequences of Changing the Past?

“What is this?”

Su Kexin found herself back at the Xuanyun Sect, when it was bustling with people and friendly, not the disheartened and fragmented place it was now.

But she vaguely sensed she didn’t belong here, as if she had traveled back in time.

Never mind, returning to the past is just perfect! Before her Senior Martial Brother showed his true strength, she could stand up during the ridicule from the other disciples and comfort him, support him. He would definitely be forever grateful to her.

Hehe, this is wonderful!

Su Kexin hurriedly raced towards Han Fairy’s pavilion, where she usually encountered Lin Nuo. If not, wandering around might help her find him.

“Hello, Senior Sister Liang! Have you seen my Senior Brother?”

Excitedly, Su Kexin ran into a Senior Sister from another sect and quickly asked about Lin Nuo’s location.

“Senior Brother? Which one?” the female cultivator asked curiously.

“The one and only, my Senior Brother Lin Nuo! Please, don’t joke with me! Have you seen him?”

“Isn’t he the one who hid the Demon Spirit and fled Tianling Mountain? He even killed the disciples who were chasing him, and now his whereabouts are unknown…”

The female cultivator replied.

“Kexin Junior Sister, what’s wrong? You should know about such a big incident.”

“How is that possible? Senior Brother is a great hero! He wouldn’t do something like this…”

Su Kexin found it completely unbelievable; she couldn’t recall anything of the sort.

“Kexin Junior Sister, I know it’s hard for you to accept, but the truth is as it is. Even if you don’t accept it, it has already happened.”

“What about the Senior Sister? The one Liu Shuqin?”

Su Kexin continued to inquire, remembering that the matter of the Demon Spirit was related to Liu Shuqin, as it had been discussed in the sect before.

“Kexin Junior Sister, she passed away a year ago… What’s wrong with you?”

“Passed away? Impossible! How could that be? Senior Sister, please don’t joke with me!”

Su Kexin received another shocking piece of news—Liu Shuqin was dead! How could this be?

“She returned to Wutu City last year, but there was a rebellion there. She fought bravely on the battlefield and ultimately perished. You should know about this; you were heartbroken over it at the time.”

“I had no idea… So, Senior Sister, what day is it today?” Su Kexin hurriedly asked.

“Today is…”

The female cultivator stated a date, and as Su Kexin thought about it, she realized it was not long after the fall of the Demon Star, the time when the incident involving Liu Shuqin and the Demon Spirit was escalating.

What is going on? How could this have happened? Why was it her Senior Brother involved?

I must see my Master.

“Sorry, Senior Sister, I have to go.”

Su Kexin dashed off towards Han Fairy’s pavilion, where both Han Fairy and Qin Shili were present.

“Master, what on earth is going on with my Senior Brother…?”

“Kexin, don’t bring him up. He is a disgrace to our sect.” Han Fairy said angrily, as Lin Nuo’s incident had made her unable to hold her head up.

“No, Master. I just want to know what really happened…?”

“Kexin. Don’t joke around. How could you not know what happened? Who in the sect is unaware of it? Now, I need to enter seclusion. You should focus on your cultivation. Don’t mention Lin Nuo again. The Sect Leader will deal with him appropriately.”

With that, Han Fairy entered the inner pavilion, leaving Su Kexin and Qin Shili behind.

Though she didn’t want to ask Qin Shili, Su Kexin was eager to know what was happening and spoke up:

“Second Martial Sister, what’s going on with my Senior Brother? I must have bumped my head on a rock when I left; I really can’t remember at all.”

Su Kexin made up a random excuse, hoping it sounded plausible enough for Qin Shili.

“He’s hiding the Demon Spirit and murdered a fellow disciple—now he’s on the run.”

Qin Shili replied coldly, not caring about Su Kexin’s flimsy excuse.

“How could this be? Wasn’t this something the Senior Sister should have encountered…?”

“She’s dead, how could she encounter it?”

“She really died? In Wutu City…?”

“Yes.”

“Then…”

Su Kexin was at a loss for words. She recalled something from last year when she accompanied Lin Nuo on a campaign against the alien race, but midway, Lin Nuo suddenly changed direction and went to Wutu City.

Later, the rebellion in Wutu City was quickly quelled with few casualties.

She thought it was Lin Nuo’s clever planning to foresee everything, so she had no reason to doubt him.

But now…

Her mind was all jumbled; she had no idea what was happening.

“Anything else you wish to ask?” Qin Shili probed coldly.

“Second Martial Sister, did Senior Brother ever go to Fenghailin for trials?”

“His skills are too weak; they wouldn’t send him out for trials.”

“Then do the disciples in the sect still look down on him?”

“Always have.” Qin Shili responded coldly.

“Then, Second Martial Sister, you don’t like him, right?”

“Correct.”

“Alright, well…”

Su Kexin sighed in helplessness; she sensed that this place had the answers she was searching for.

Answers about Lin Nuo.

He must have a past that, when she thought back to the unusual behavior he exhibited during their time at Fenghailin, seemed incredibly intriguing.

“Second Martial Sister, you’re well-informed. Do you think it’s possible for someone to return to the past?” Su Kexin continued to ask.

“There is no record of anyone being able to return to the past. However, it doesn’t rule out the existence of such phenomena. If that’s the case, what you and I have experienced could be the result of someone from the past altering events.”

Qin Shili said with a meaningful expression, as if speaking from great wisdom.

“The consequences of changing things… Could what I’ve experienced be…?”

Su Kexin murmured softly, pondering if everything she went through was the result of her Senior Brother returning to the past and changing things.

The Master Sister didn’t die, and with the experience from the future, he achieved great things.

If that’s the case, it might make sense.

That other self she had seen in the illusion—she was the one who killed her Senior Brother, meaning she herself had killed him…

If that’s true, then her Senior Brother would be an atrocious villain, right?

No, it shouldn’t be. Perhaps she was the villain, and her Senior Brother was trying to stop her malevolence but ended up getting killed.

At that moment, Su Kexin hoped more than anything that she was the one in the wrong, not Lin Nuo.

Qin Shili didn’t pay attention to Su Kexin’s contemplations; she picked up her Ice Sword and walked outside the pavilion, not even bothering to say goodbye.

“Ah, Second Martial Sister?”

Returning to her senses, Su Kexin noticed Qin Shili had already left. Qin Shili was always solitary, preoccupied with her own matters.

“Senior Brother, where… are you now…?”

Su Kexin muttered worriedly to herself when suddenly a familiar female voice came from outside:

“Master, are you in there?”

Then a girl walked in from outside.

Seeing her, Su Kexin was stunned.

This girl… it’s her?!
