Chapter 219: Indispensable and Important Family Members
"Thinking about it from this perspective seems much clearer," Bai Guangying said thoughtfully. "I just don't know what the mastermind behind this is plotting, or if they will do anything to harm the Fairy Realm."
"Also, could the mastermind... be one of the Ten Dharma Aspects, a fairy?"
"..."
Another silence fell, and neither Bing Lixue nor Bai Guangying received an answer to the question.
"Whether it's the struggle between fairies or the imminent emergence of the Mutian Pavilion, I only hope that the Fairy Realm won't fall into any crisis." Bing Lixue sighed softly, "Although my brother hopes that I can live in peace and protect myself, how can I remain unscathed when the Fairy Realm is truly in chaos or facing a life-or-death crisis?"
"By the way, Sister Bing, do you know anything about the Ten Dharma Forms?" Bai Guangying asked curiously, "I always feel that the other fairies are excessively afraid of them."
"It is said that they were all fairies who possessed terrifying destructive power. In that battle thousands of years ago, despite the sacrifice of countless fairies and the enormous price paid, they were ultimately only imprisoned in a place completely isolated from the fairy realm."
"Then they..." Bai Guangying wanted to ask something more, but suddenly sensed the fluctuations of immortal energy in the Ice Crystal Palace and quickly retreated to the side.
Near where Bai Guangying had just stood, a passage appeared out of thin air, and then a figure slowly walked out of the passage.
"Brother!" When Bing Lixue saw Shui Qingli, the icy expression on her face seemed to melt away in an instant, and she unconsciously confessed everything: "Xiaobai and I were just discussing the Ten Dharma Aspects."
"The Ten Dharma Aspects..." Shui Qingli looked at Bing Lixue, his face expressionless, but his azure eyes held a depth that Bing Lixue couldn't understand: "Then, little sister, what is your opinion on the Ten Dharma Aspects?"
"Brother, why...why would you ask such a question?" Bing Lixue looked surprised. She suddenly felt that Shui Qingli in front of her seemed no different from before, yet also seemed to have changed a lot without her knowing.
It has become...something she can't quite understand.
Or perhaps, she never truly understood her brother, who seemed to be hiding many secrets.
The vast Ice Crystal Palace fell silent in an instant. Bai Guangying looked at Shui Qingli and Bing Lixue, who remained silent, and was at a loss for what to do.
After a long silence, Shui Qingli broke the silence, saying as if in resignation, "Because I am one of the Ten Dharma Aspects."
"What?!" Bing Lixue and Bai Guangying were both shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
Indeed, who would have thought that Shui Qingli, who had always kept a low profile and was very famous but rarely active in the fairy realm, would be a fairy with such destructive power?
"Brother, are you really... one of the Ten Dharma Aspects?" Bing Lixue frowned slightly, her face filled with worry.
"Yes, I am a second-tier vice prime minister." Shui Qingli calmly stated a reality, no matter how much this reality would shock Bing Lixue.
Bing Lixue was shocked as expected. She never imagined that her brother would keep such a big thing from her.
However, after learning Shui Qingli's true identity, Bing Lixue suddenly understood some questions that had previously puzzled her.
Since that great battle in ancient times, Shui Qingli has disappeared for so many years, actually because she was sealed in a forbidden place.
Shui Qingli, who has always disliked troublesome matters, insisted on joining Lingxi Pavilion, but in fact, she had ulterior motives (stealing the token).
Shui Qingli firmly opposed Yan Jue's pursuit of Bing Lixue because he already knew that Yan Jue would be irreconcilably opposed to Lingxi Pavilion.
Shui Qingli instructed Bing Lixue not to leave Bingjingchuan because he had long anticipated the appearance of Mutianyin.
……
It turns out that it wasn't that Shui Qingli had changed, but rather that he had been clear about his position from the very beginning, and knew exactly what he wanted to do, but he kept it a secret from everyone, including her.
"Brother, you've kept this a secret for so many years, even I, your little sister, have been kept in the dark," Bing Lixue said wistfully.
She was surprised because in those thousands of years of getting along, Shui Qingli had never mentioned the Ten Dharma Forms to her. In addition, apart from destroying civilizations, the Ten Dharma Forms almost always lived in seclusion, so naturally they kept this secret buried.
"Sister, don't you mind my identity?" Shui Qingli looked at Bing Lixue's slightly surprised expression and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like if one day he and Bing Lixue had to fight each other because of their different stances.
“I don’t mind.” Bing Lixue said matter-of-factly and without hesitation: “You are my brother, and always will be.”
Bing Lixue's firm choice was to tell Shui Qingli that they were each other's irreplaceable and important family.
