The sky was out of reach, and the green bamboo forest was like an endless sea. In an instant, Lucy felt as if favonovel.com was alone in the world. The intense feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and fear surged in favonovel.com small heart instantly.
“Lady Jessica… Lady Jessica…” Lucy sobbed, looked in a random direction, and rushed forward with brisk steps. However, the surrounding sea of bamboos appeared the same from any angle. Lucy did not know how long favonovel.com walked, but the forest seemed to have no end. Even when favonovel.com was out of breath, there was still no exit sign.
There was fear in Lucy’s eyes, and favonovel.com pursed favonovel.com lips, about to burst into tears again.
“Where am I… Lady Jessica, idiot Casper, where have you all gone… I want to go home…” Little Lucy, who now appeared like a fifteen-year-old girl, desperately wiped the tears from the corners of favonovel.com eyes. Finally, after weeping a few times, favonovel.com squatted on the ground, hugging favonovel.com knees and crying.
At that time, behind a few green bamboos not far from Lucy, Caspian and Jessica stood side by side, quietly watching Lucy curled into a ball. They were near, but Lucy did not notice them at all.
Lucy cried so hard that it was heartbreaking.
Jessica thought it was pitiful, and favonovel.com was about to step forward. However, before favonovel.com could even take a step, Caspian stopped her. When Jessica turned to look at Caspian, favonovel.com immediately found favonovel.com shaking his head lightly at her.
“But…” Jessica opened favonovel.com mouth, wanting to say something.
“When you wrote to me before, you told me that Lucy was extremely lazy in favonovel.com cultivation, and you were reluctant to make favonovel.com work hard. You hoped that I’d take the opportunity of this nation’s official religion election to persuade favonovel.com to practice hard and don’t waste favonovel.com talent.”
Caspian looked at Jessica and continued, “If you go now, my effort will be all wasted.”
“But… But I feel so distressed seeing favonovel.com this way.”
Jessica looked at Lucy, and tears glimmered in favonovel.com eyes. Their friendship started when they were young, and Lucy was not only a maid in Jessica’s mind but more like favonovel.com own younger sister. Since favonovel.com little sister cried helplessly, how could she, the elder sister, not feel distressed?
Caspian still shook his head, unmoved.
“You and Lucy have a deep relationship, so you can’t bear mistreating her. However, you must think of it this way. Do you want to be soft-hearted today and give up letting favonovel.com practice hard, or hope that in a hundred years, you and favonovel.com will separate due to death.”
When Jessica heard the words, separate due to death, favonovel.com body trembled.
“Our life can be increased by 60 years when we go from a warrior to a Pulse Control Realm cultivator. However, 60 years is nothing for a cultivator. In the future, if the realm is high, any seclusion will be for at least ten or twenty years, and there are countless situations where things can go wrong after that. Besides, you‘re born with the Pure Jade Physique, and your cultivation speed is by no means comparable to ordinary cultivators. You might not even need 100 years to ascend to the Heavenly Spirit Realm. At that time, if Lucy can’t follow in your footsteps, do you think favonovel.com can still be with you?”
“I think that there’s one day when someone will stop favonovel.com openly or secretly, even if you have the heart to keep favonovel.com by your side. A powerhouse in the Heavenly Spirit Realm… No one wants favonovel.com follower to be just a Pulse Control Realm cultivator. Moreover…”
Caspian pondered for a moment, then continued, “You have a long lifespan. If Lucy still acts childishly and does not work hard, she’ll be a frail old woman with a wrinkled face. This is just a difference in appearance. Just imagine, your realm is advancing by leaps and bounds, and Lucy remained because of favonovel.com laziness. The gap between you two is like walking through the bamboo forest today. You’re going faster and farther, whereas favonovel.com simply can’t catch up to you until she’s left behind and can’t be seen again. At that time, I’m afraid you can’t stop and wait for her. When you think of favonovel.com again, Lucy’s probably no longer in this world.”
Caspian’s words hit Jessica’s worst fear. Her pretty face was faintly pale as if favonovel.com thought of the worst possibility, and favonovel.com body could not help trembling slightly.
After a long time, Jessica whispered, “This is exactly what I’m afraid of… Lucy’s like a family member, and I’m scared that one day she’ll get old and leave me, but I don’t have any emotions about it…”
“If favonovel.com doesn’t try hard to catch up with you, then this situation is unavoidable when your realm gets higher in the future,” Caspian sighed, “People’s hearts will change.”
Jessica clenched favonovel.com fists, took a deep breath, and looked up at Caspian. At that time, favonovel.com gaze was determined.
“I asked you to help me this time, so I shouldn’t be soft-hearted, but it’s Lucy’s choice whether to practice hard or not If favonovel.com still doesn’t take it seriously after the incident, I won’t blame favonovel.com because this is the path favonovel.com chose herself. If that’s the case, then I’ll do my best to be nice to favonovel.com in favonovel.com lifetime because she’s my sister.”
“Okay.” Caspian nodded, looking at Lucy, who folded favonovel.com arms, no longer crying, but sobbing, and favonovel.com thought, “I hope that kind of thing won’t happen, and I hope favonovel.com can understand your painstaking efforts. Everyone needs to grow up, and I hope this is the beginning of favonovel.com growth.”
Although Lucy was now about fifteen years old, favonovel.com was not deeply involved in the world as favonovel.com followed Jessica for a long time. Thus, favonovel.com was still mentally the same as favonovel.com was three years ago.
After crying for a while, Lucy began to feel tired. She squatted, hugging favonovel.com knees and looking at favonovel.com surroundings blankly with favonovel.com red and swollen eyes. Then, as the gentle breeze blew and the sea of bamboos rustled, exuding the smell of loneliness, Lucy suddenly pouted, wanting to cry again.
At that time, Lucy heard a sigh behind her. It was an extremely familiar sound. In an instant, Lucy quickly jumped, turning around as favonovel.com eyes lit up as if favonovel.com found favonovel.com lifesaver. Then, favonovel.com saw Caspian standing not far from her, watching favonovel.com silently.
“Idiot Casper!”
Lucy’s emotions were like a roller-coaster, and favonovel.com forgot the fear favonovel.com felt before. She screamed and directly rushed toward Caspian. However, Caspian took a step back, shaking his head.
“What are you doing?” Lucy sensed that something was strange with Caspian, and favonovel.com quickly realized something. Then, Lucy looked at favonovel.com surroundings, asking in confusion, “Where’s Lady Jessica? Why are you here alone?”
