Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1572: Chapter 1552:

Qhianqhian was naturally aware of those two concerned gazes and knew what they meant.

They had given her time to consider, and she couldn’t be too excessive, unable to make a decision for too long.

But at this moment, where did she have the mood to ponder over romance? She even wanted to say, why don’t you two duel, and I’ll go with the winner.

But she understood it was impossible.

Luo Shufan’s situation made her realize that the two of them shared a life-and-death bond and would not act recklessly.

These two people were both outstanding, without a doubt, but so excellent that she couldn’t quite decide what to do with herself.

Since her rebirth, many things had happened. She had been letting things develop half-heartedly, but now, it seemed she couldn’t do that anymore...

But if she were to be with these two people, wouldn’t her brother guess something? At that time, wouldn’t he blame himself?

The people of Nine Heavens Pavilion were unaware that her early love interest was actually Tang Tianyi, and much earlier, they had made it clear at the Luo Family’s. Tang Tianyi was able to be by her side, thanks to her uncle’s help.

However, if she were to make a hasty decision now, not to mention her brother, wouldn’t the Luo Family notice something?

Subconsciously turning her head, she saw several gazes looking over simultaneously, instantly startling her into turning her head back to continue watching Yann Yao and the Great White Bear.

Big Black and Xiao Hei, as Qhianqhian’s spiritual beasts, naturally knew a bit about what Qhianqhian was thinking. However, since Tang Guo hadn’t mentioned it, why should they?

Qhianqhian turned around and walked over to Yan and Mo: ”Let’s go for a walk over there. Big Black and Xiao Hei, keep an eye on Xiao Yu and Brother Zhuzi, and don’t run around.” The last sentence was naturally an instruction.

Yan and Mo exchanged a glance and nodded together, following Qhianqhian as she walked in the direction behind them.

The biting cold wind covered up any sound.

He Wenyu looked thoughtfully at the backs of the three people leaving, walked over to Bai Yizhu, and gazed at him: ”Qhianqhian, is there some secret you’re hiding from us?”

Bai Yizhu was momentarily at a loss for words. How was he supposed to respond to that?

But thinking of Qhianqhian’s little face, somewhat haggard and with red eyes from after anger, he couldn’t help but sigh: ”When she wants us to know, she’ll naturally tell us. Perhaps she doesn’t even know what she’s troubled by now.”

He Wenyu looked in the direction Qhianqhian had left, his eyes filled with heartache, yet helpless, he could only shake his head, turn around, and continue watching Yann Yao braise the pig trotters.

”But, where did he find those pig trotters?” He Wenyu asked in surprise since they hadn’t seen any pig-shaped spiritual beasts?

”Asked Qhianqhian for them.” Bai Yizhu rolled his eyes: ”Otherwise, do you think you can find such uniformly sized pig trotters just anywhere? Could the pigs have undergone cosmetic surgery?”

...

On the mountain top, Qhianqhian looked at the vast expanse of the world, her expression somewhat bewildered but soon becoming firm. She needed to be strong to protect Nine Heavens Pavilion.

”Yan, Mo.” Qhianqhian didn’t look at the two beside her and chuckled: ”What I’m about to say might make you angry. I want to say, give me time to get along with you, and also give me some time to grow? Right now, I can’t make a decision. Both of you are excellent, and I’ve acknowledged it. For my brother, any choice is worth it. I don’t know who I’ll end up liking, but before I make my decision, I hope we can interact like before. Is that okay? I won’t avoid it; I just need time to adjust... You know, turning friends into lovers, and both so outstanding, it’s really hard for me to choose.”

What Qhianqhian didn’t say was, actually, either of you would do.

In the past, because of her grandfather’s decision, Jimo Cheng was by her side, and she abandoned Tang Tianyi.

Now, for Luo Shufan’s survival, she had two choices, and again she abandoned Tang Tianyi.

Tang Tianyi was truly unfortunate to fall for someone like her, wasn’t he?

If it were anyone else, being liked by Tang Tianyi would be such happiness they’d faint from joy, right? But what about her?

Time and again, abandoning him, without even an explanation...

She always finds excuses, blaming one thing or another, but isn’t it just her lack of strength? If it weren’t, how could she be at others’ mercy?

If she were strong back then, her grandfather wouldn’t have needed to find her protection.

If she were strong now, her brother wouldn’t be lying in the hospital like that.

She’s still here making excuses, claiming her innocence, she’s really not a good person...

”Of course.” Yan said softly: ”Our journey isn’t over yet, there’s no reason to pressure you.”

”Huh, you guys have trials too?” Qhianqhian was instantly taken aback.

Yan and Mo both nodded, though they didn’t say that their trial content was all about Qhianqhian.

”Is there anything I can help with?” Qhianqhian blinked her big eyes, her earlier emotions dissipating, her eyes now full of eagerness. She needed more experiences to support Nine Heavens Pavilion in the future, to stand in front of it.

”Actually, you need to shine at the Sect Conference now, our matters aren’t urgent.” Mo gently advised, reaching out to ruffle Qhianqhian’s short hair. He had seen Luo Shufan do this before and had wanted to try it himself.

”That’s true. By the way, should you also find some spiritual beasts? Our enemies are numerous, including the Blessed Land Cave Heaven, the Snow Palace, and the Southern Li Royal Family. It seems that in the finals, at least we’ll be facing enemies from three sides.” Qhianqhian sighed; there were only five of them this time, without even any backup members.

Lin Jiayou wanted to come, but Qhianqhian strictly forbade him, sending him to the Princess Mansion. Now Nine Heavens Pavilion wasn’t a sanctuary but a trouble.

She didn’t want her brothers to get hurt one by one; wouldn’t that make her like a jinx?

”No need, we...”

”We’ll have them after our trials are complete.”

Yan interrupted Mo’s unfinished sentence and smiled: ”Don’t worry about us. Have you found spiritual beasts for the remaining members?”

Qhianqhian shook her head sorrowfully: ”How could I know so many? Besides the Little White Snake’s, but I don’t want it to be saddened anymore.” Qhianqhian calmly stroked the Little White Snake’s body, icy cold yet not bone-chilling.

”Huangfu Yihui doesn’t actually need one; his talent is good. He can handle most opponents just by nurturing plants, so a spiritual beast would be redundant.” Yan thought for a moment and said.

Qhianqhian, however, shook her head: ”I think, if he can fly, then we can fly too, so I want to find him a spiritual beast capable of flight.”

”For Brother Zhuzi, I haven’t figured it out yet. But since Xiao Yu’s hammer is so powerful, I’d like to find something big enough to protect her.”

As for Qhianqhian herself, there’s no need to think; Big Black and Xiao Hei were enough.

Even if Big Black and Xiao Hei didn’t do anything, didn’t use spiritual power attacks, weren’t discovered for the pressure in their bloodlines, their souls would still intimidate, making their opponent’s spiritual beasts tremble in fear, so she wasn’t worried.
