Chapter 106 White Lies
Chapter 106 White Lies
Cang Xingyue automatically ignored Lu Siyan behind the two, her gaze only falling on Yu Sheng and Qu Xingran, and she couldn't help but wonder why Yu Lian and Tang Chen hadn't come along.
As if hearing her thoughts, the system said to her, "Your two friends are dead. They were drained of all their energy by the Mother of Life-Giving Flowers."
"What?!" She was shocked.
I still remember the day Lu Siyan took me away a few months ago; it turned out to be the last time I saw them together…
"Already...dead?" she murmured again, her gaze unconsciously turning to Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng was still telling Qu Xingran, who was beside her, about her worries.
"I can't find the big liar, and my sister isn't home either. Xingran, do you think something might have happened to them? I don't know why, but I feel so anxious."
What will happen to that little fool now that Yu Lian is gone? She'll definitely find it hard to accept if she knows this news.
Cang Xingyue closed her eyes in unbearable pain. As they approached, she quickly put on her mask.
The moment she transformed into Yu Lian, memories of her dying moments flooded her mind—memories of such pain and despair.
Cang Xingyue clenched her fists in resentment, as if Shu Yin's neck was in her hands, and she wished she could snap it off.
When the system told them that they had died at the hands of Yishenghua's mother, they couldn't believe it at first, because Tang Chen and Yu Lian's special abilities were more than enough to protect themselves.
But to everyone's surprise, he was controlled by Shu Yin and lost his life.
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and ran out from behind the tree where she had been hiding.
"Little..." The habitual address almost slipped out.
Then she quickly changed her address and called out, "Sheng'er!"
Upon seeing Yu Lian, who was transformed from Cang Xingyue, Yu Sheng instantly shook off her worries and ran over to hug her with joy and excitement.
She called out sweetly, "Sister~".
She reached out and hugged Yu Sheng back, gently patting her back, and teased her with a smile, mimicking Yu Lian's tone: "Why is our Sheng'er still clinging to her older sister like a little child? It's only been a short time since we last met and you already miss your older sister?"
"Oh, sis, you're teasing me again. I was just worried about you. I'm so happy to see you're alright." Yu Sheng shyly pulled away from the embrace.
He affectionately tapped her nose: "No wonder Xingyue always calls you a little idiot, you really are a little fool~ I'm perfectly fine, besides, what could possibly happen to me? Don't worry unnecessarily."
Yu Sheng chuckled awkwardly: "That's right, my sister is so amazing."
In Yu Sheng's heart, her sister was as strong as a mountain, and as unyielding as a mountain, she would never leave her.
Qu Xingran stepped forward and asked, "Sister Yu Lian, have you seen my sister?"
Upon hearing Cang Xingyue mentioned, Lu Siyan finally raised his lowered eyes and looked at 'Yu Lian'.
Sensing his gaze, Cang Xingyue merely glanced at him briefly before looking away.
Yu Sheng looked at her and asked, "Yeah, sis, did you see the big liar?"
“Xingyue… has to leave. You know she’s only here for a short time this time, so she can’t stay any longer.”
"Oh? You're leaving already? Without even saying goodbye." Yu Sheng said with some regret.
"Yes, she asked me to tell you and Xingran that she is fine and there is no need to worry. She will come back to see you when she has time. She has to leave now because of an urgent matter."
"Did my sister leave because of what happened last time?" Qu Xingran turned around to look at Lu Siyan and then turned back to ask tentatively.
"Yes."
"Sigh, alright." Yu Sheng sighed.
Lu Siyan's gaze towards 'Yu Lian' deepened, carrying a hint of inquiry.
"Oh, right, there's also Tang Chen. He planned to take Pipi on a trip to find a way to help her recover. He just left."
To avoid them asking about Tang Chen or going to his house, she spoke first, making up a lie to fool them.
"Huh? So sudden. Another one who left without saying goodbye. Oh well, he probably only cares about his sister and has almost forgotten about us friends."
Yu Sheng pursed her lips and shook her head helplessly.
Because Lu Siyan's gaze was so hard to ignore, Cang Xingyue became irritated by his stare and finally dared to look at him, feigning ignorance and asking, "And who is this...?"
Yu Sheng pointed at Lu Siyan and said to her, "You mean him? We were attacked by that supernatural monster and the man in the red cloak as soon as we came out of the basement. He suddenly appeared and helped us."
Having caught the key information in the conversation, Cang Xingyue hurriedly asked, "Where did that supernatural being and the man in the red cloak go?"
"They ran away when they saw that Xingran had turned back into a human and was no match for us."
Cang Xingyue nodded and looked at Lu Siyan, saying calmly, "Thank you for helping my sister and Xingran."
Lu Siyan opened his mouth as if to say something, but saw that 'Yu Lian' had no intention of listening to his response and had already started talking to Yu Sheng.
"Sheng'er and Xingran, you two should leave Dongliu now and go to another base to settle down. All the residents of this base are dead, and it is no longer suitable for living here."
"Everyone's dead?!" Yu Sheng and Qu Xingran exclaimed in shock.
"That's right, because a monster suddenly appeared here that sucks blood and flesh for energy, and can also turn normal people into zombie-like puppets, so no one was spared..."
After hearing her words, the three of them noticed the pile of corpses not far away.
Yu Sheng covered her mouth in shock and stared wide-eyed: "Oh my god, how could this be?"
Looking at the pile of corpses, Lu Siyan felt a pang of panic; he was terrified that she might be there.
No, no, she has a body that won't die from injuries, she'll definitely be fine. The worry in her heart was quickly dismissed by herself.
Catching the fleeting look of worry on his face, Cang Xingyue found it utterly ridiculous.
What is he worried about? Is he concerned about her?
Did he worry about her? He said he didn't want her to get hurt, but he was quick to stab her in the heart, and of course, he left just as quickly.
Shu Yin's special ability might have had some impact on him, but it certainly wasn't a significant one; he was definitely rational at the time.
Because she once asked him during a casual chat: "You're so powerful, aren't you afraid of being controlled by a psychic?"
He confidently replied to her at the time: "Mind control ability doesn't affect me much. I can easily break free and regain my senses. Of course, I can also kill him before he controls me."
Even if he wasn't sober at the time, he could forgive the injury he caused her, but after regaining his senses, he left coldly without even asking how badly she was hurt.
Do you really care that this will happen?
Looking back on all the confessions he once made to me, they seem more and more like lies!
She hates it most when someone uses love to deceive her!
The more she thought about it, the more agitated she became, and she wanted to leave at any moment. She didn't want to stay with Lu Siyan any longer, so she decided to make an excuse to leave.
"Sheng'er, you and Xingran, take good care of yourselves. I won't be able to stay with you anymore..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng panicked instantly and asked before she could finish speaking, "Sister, why did you say such a thing? What's wrong with you?"
He reached out and flicked her head: "Silly girl, why are you in such a hurry when I haven't finished speaking?"
Yu Sheng covered her head and muttered aggrievedly, "Sister, why do you sound like a big liar?"
Another tap landed on her forehead as she was scolded: "Xingyue is a nice person. Stop calling her a big liar all the time. You should be polite and call her 'sister,' understand?"
Yu Sheng stamped her feet anxiously: "Sister, why didn't you say that the big liar called me a little idiot?!"
"I think Xingyue is right, you're just a silly girl."
"Sister, you..." Yu Sheng was interrupted before she could argue further.
"I'm going to find Tang Chen and travel with him, so I might not be able to spend as much time with you as I do in the future."
"Why are you looking for him, sis?" Yu Sheng asked, arms crossed, completely puzzled.
"You silly girl, are you really that confused? Don't you understand my feelings for Tang Chen, Sheng'er?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a guy who forgets his sister at the sight of a pretty face."
He reached out and poked her cheek, saying, "How dare you say that to me? Didn't you already forget about me for the first time?"
Yu Sheng glanced at Qu Xingran subconsciously, then lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
That's undeniable.
"Take care, I'll be going now, or I won't be able to catch up with Tang Chen."
"Alright, alright, go find your lover." Although Yu Sheng was reluctant, she didn't want to selfishly stop her.
"Xingran, I'm entrusting Sheng'er to you. Please take good care of her and don't let her be sad or upset." She said earnestly with a serious expression.
Qu Xingran nodded and assured her, "Don't worry, Sister Yu Lian, I will take good care of Sheng'er."
She stepped forward and patted Qu Xingran on the shoulder, adding, "Take good care of yourself and don't get hurt."
