Chapter 709 My Spirit Pearl also wants to help!
Yang Jian was prepared for Yang Chan's words, but when the moment actually arrived, he still felt a headache coming on.
This is what he fears most.
The third sister has always seemed gentle and kind, but when it comes to family matters, no one can stop her.
Yang Jian suppressed his reluctance and lowered his voice.
"no."
Yang Chan was stunned.
She had just met her second brother, and there were still many things she wanted to say.
But those two words shattered all her expectations.
Why?
Yang Jian looked at her.
"Momoyama is too dangerous."
"The Heavenly Court will not stand idly by; Haotian has already invited the two Western Saints."
"Ten days from now, it won't be as simple as just rescuing my mother."
"Your cultivation level is insufficient; going there will only lead you into danger."
Yang Chan bit her lip.
Of course she knew that her cultivation level was insufficient.
Knowing something is one thing, but not being able to accept it is another.
"so what?"
"So I can only stay in the Nuwa Palace and wait for your news?"
"Second brother, do you think this is fair to me?"
Yang Jian frowned.
"This is not a question of fairness."
"This is a matter of life and death."
"Jieyin, Zhunti, Haotian, the celestial gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court, and the people of the Western Sect will all be keeping an eye on Peach Mountain."
"If we are not careful at that time, we will be doomed."
Yang Chan's eyes reddened again.
"And what about Mother?"
"When her mother was trapped under Mount Tao, did she have a choice?"
When we were forced to separate back then, did anyone ask me if I wanted to?
Yang Jian fell silent.
He had no way to refute these words.
Yang Chan took a step forward.
"Second brother, I know you're doing this for my own good."
"But have you ever thought that I'm not a child anymore?"
"I became a disciple of my master and have cultivated for so many years, not to hide in the background."
"My mother is also my mother."
"If you go to save her, why can't I?"
Yang Jian felt a tightness in his chest.
He wasn't afraid of Yang Chan making a scene, nor was he afraid of her crying.
What he feared was that Yang Chan's words made sense.
Reason was on her side, but danger was also looming ahead.
If Peach Mountain only had the Heavenly Court, Yang Jian might have allowed her to watch from afar.
But things are different now.
The two Western saints have already entered the game.
Below the level of a sage, even the slightest mistake can lead to utter and complete annihilation.
Yang Chan is his sister whom he finally managed to find.
He can't afford to lose it again.
"Third sister, be good."
"This time, we'll stay at the Nuwa Palace."
"Once I rescue my mother, I will personally bring her to see you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chan's tears fell again.
"You've made me wait again."
"I've been waiting from back then until now."
"Waiting for Mother to come back, waiting for my eldest brother to come back, waiting for you to come back."
"Now that you're finally back, you make me wait again."
She looked up at Yang Jian, her voice trembling.
"Second brother, do you want me to watch my loved ones leave again, powerless to do anything about it?"
Yang Jian felt a sharp pang in his heart.
He wanted to say no.
But who can say for sure that there won't be any unexpected events in Taoshan ten days from now?
Even with his master backing him up, he couldn't make any overly confident statements.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yang Chan felt even more upset.
"You won't let me go because you think I'm useless."
"no."
Yang Jian immediately denied it.
"What is that?"
"I was afraid something would happen to you."
Yang Jian finally spoke his mind.
"I failed to protect you back then."
"I've always remembered this."
"Now that I'm capable, I don't want you to be in danger anymore."
Yang Chan was taken aback.
The brother and sister both quieted down.
Outside the bamboo forest, Lingzhuzi originally wanted to go further away, but hearing the argument inside, she couldn't take a step.
He didn't eavesdrop on purpose.
But he couldn't rest easy knowing his junior sister was crying like this.
Lingzhu scratched her head, feeling anxious.
Yang Jian has a point.
My junior sister has a point.
One was afraid something would happen to his younger sister, and the other didn't want to be a bystander anymore.
It would be difficult to persuade anyone in that situation.
Lingzhuzi endured for a long time, but finally couldn't resist and went inside.
"Um...can I say a few words?"
Yang Jian turned to look at him.
Yang Chan also wiped away her tears.
Lingzhuzi coughed lightly.
"Brother Yang Jian, I know you're worried about your junior sister."
"If I were in that situation, I would be worried too."
"But if you really leave her in the Nuwa Palace, she might not feel safe."
Yang Jian frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Lingzhu shrugged.
"Having something bottled up inside is worse than getting beaten up."
"Go to Taoshan and risk your life, she'll wait for news here."
"What if even a whisper of your injury or an accident in Taoshan gets back? Would she stay silent?"
"If she runs away on her own, that will be a real problem."
Yang Jian's heart skipped a beat.
Although these words are blunt, they hit the nail on the head.
Yang Chan is indeed capable of doing it.
Lingzhuzi continued, "So how about this?"
"If you're sending my junior sister, count me in."
"Although my cultivation is inferior to yours, I, Lingzhuzi, am more than capable of protecting myself."
"Moreover, I have a magic weapon bestowed by my master, which can protect my junior sister in critical moments."
Yang Chan quickly said, "Senior brother, this has nothing to do with you."
Lingzhuzi glanced at her.
"How can it be alright?"
"You are my junior sister."
"If I don't care about my junior sister's affairs, what kind of senior brother am I?"
At this point, he looked at Yang Jian again.
"Brother Yang Jian, don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to be a hero."
"I know how powerful the Sages are, and I also know that the Heavenly Court is not to be trifled with."
"But I went along not to confront the sage head-on."
"I only have one responsibility: to protect my junior sister."
"If things really get bad, I'll take her and run away; I won't cause any trouble."
Yang Jian looked at the spirit pearl, somewhat surprised.
This seemingly unconventional young man turned out to be surprisingly reliable when it mattered most.
At least this sense of loyalty isn't just empty talk.
"Fellow Daoist Lingzhu, thank you."
Lingzhu waved his hand.
"Don't call me 'fellow Daoist,' it sounds too formal."
"You're my junior sister's second brother, so you're one of us."
"Just call me Lingzhuzi."
Yang Jian did not respond.
He remained hesitant.
Yang Chan looked at him, her tone softening.
"Second brother, I promise you."
"I won't do anything reckless once I get to Taoshan."
"I will stand wherever you tell me to."
"If you tell me to back out, I'll back out."
"But please don't make me stay here, okay?"
Yang Jian closed his eyes.
He knew he couldn't get past this hurdle.
Forcibly refusing would only make Yang Chan feel worse.
More importantly, if Yang Chanzhen were to secretly follow them, the danger would be even greater.
Rather than that, it's better to keep her where you can see her.
I cannot agree to this directly.
Yang Chan's face turned pale.
Yang Jian immediately added a sentence.
"You are a disciple of the sage Nuwa."
"Whether you can leave Nuwa Palace depends on the approval of the Sage."
Yang Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You'll let me go as long as Master agrees?"
Yang Jian was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"If Master agrees, I won't stop you."
Lingzhu immediately clapped his hands.
"That works, doesn't it?"
"Let's go find our master."
Yang Jian glanced at him.
"You seem to be in a more anxious mood than I am."
Lingzhuzi was very serious.
"I'm just moving the plot forward, don't get stuck on the siblings arguing part."
Yang Chan couldn't help but laugh again.
The tense atmosphere finally eased a bit.
Yang Jian took a deep breath.
"Let's go."
"I will personally go and explain to the Sage Nuwa."
The three left the bamboo forest and headed back towards the main hall.
