Chapter 895: Chapter 895 Gradually Drifting Apart

In a villa mid-way up a hill in the suburbs, Qian Ye was arguing with Qian Feng. The argument became so intense that they even started slamming on the table.

"We must act quickly and not give Gu Fan the chance to move David. This kid is very cunning, and he will surely think of this." Qian Ye was adamant, with an expression that showed she was determined to see it through.

But Qian Feng remained unmoved, "You’ve already destroyed the space-time door, why go to extremes in pursuit?"

"I’m not going to extremes, I’m ensuring absolute safety. I thought I had destroyed the space-time door last time, only to find out this kid had made another one. Who knows what other tricks this kid might pull off." Qian Ye made a valid point, and Shennv Xuanhui had also experienced Gu Fan’s capabilities, so it was indeed necessary to continue to guard against him.

Qian Feng shook her head, "The ruse of using Gu Ling to threaten Gu Fan won’t work anymore. Gu Ling is one of us in Shennv Xuanhui, she hasn’t done anything wrong, and we cannot harm her. Gu Fan is already very clear about this."

Qian Ye persisted, "That’s right, Gu Fan knows this, knows that we will not harm Gu Ling, but would he dare to gamble with his sister’s life? I’ve lived with Gu Fan for a time, and I know he dearly loves Gu Ling and would not bet with her life."

"Perhaps, as you say, this plan could succeed, but I still think it’s inappropriate. This will hurt Gu Ling’s heart. Using Gu Ling to continuously harm her family is something for which Shennv Xuanhui would owe Gu Ling an apology." Qian Feng always had her reasons for disagreeing, but in Qian Ye’s eyes, Qian Feng seemed to be defending Gu Ling.

Qian Ye wanted to say more, but Qian Feng stopped her from continuing. Her mind was made up.

Seeing Qian Ye’s unwilling expression, Qian Feng consoled her, "Don’t worry, even if Gu Fan creates the space-time door again, I will stop him. Since you wish to stay in this era, I will let you stay, but you must listen to me."

"Fine, I’ll listen to you." After speaking, Qian Ye turned and strode away, apparently in a bad mood.

However, just as Qian Ye was about to leave the room, she said indifferently, "Qian Feng, the reason you hated me so much in the past wasn’t because I defected from Shennv Xuanhui, but rather, to you, it was because I betrayed our sisterhood."

Upon hearing this, Qian Feng frowned, seemingly guessing what Qian Ye was about to say next.

"If one day, Qian Feng, you betray our sisterhood, then I will hate you just as much as you hate me." After speaking, Qian Ye pushed open the door and stormed out, fuming with anger.

Only Qian Feng was left in the room, a faint trace of melancholy in her eyes. She was now unsure whether helping Qian Ye was right or wrong.

In the past, Qian Feng had always hoped that Qian Ye would come back, to her side, so that their sisterhood could continue to be the most precious thing in their hearts.

But now that Qian Ye had returned, why couldn’t Qian Feng feel happy at all? She always felt exhausted interacting with this Qian Ye.

"Was this how you felt before?" Qian Feng reflected on a previous fierce argument with Qian Ye. Back then, Shennv Xuanhui was growing stronger, and Qian Feng craved more power, becoming so arrogant that she wouldn’t listen to anyone else.

In ancient times, Qian Ye and Qian Feng had a huge argument, with Qian Feng pressing Qian Ye down with the authority of an elder sister, to the point where Qian Ye had no choice but to swallow her anger in silence.

Afterwards, Qian Ye expressed that Qian Feng had changed, becoming more and more unfamiliar, which made it increasingly exhausting for Qian Ye to interact with Qian Feng.

At that moment, the door was knocked upon, and Qian Xue entered without permission; she gave an awkward smile and then said, "Elder sister, are you all right? I heard you and Second Elder Sister arguing fiercely just now; I was worried, so I came to check on you."

Qian Feng’s expression even slightly shifted, and after giving it some thought with a feigned ease, she said, "It’s nothing. It’s not the first time Qian Ye and I have had a fight, as you know."

"I’m aware of that, but the way you two fight seems to have changed," Qian Xue said with some worry, as if she feared she might have said something wrong.

But Qian Feng was interested and asked, "What do you mean the way we fight has changed? Can you explain it to me?"

Qian Xue nodded, "In the past, in ancient times, when you and Second Elder Sister had an argument, you were the one who was unreasonable, so everyone was afraid of you. But now it’s switched back; listening to the content of your arguments, it seems Second Elder Sister has become the unreasonable one, and everyone is afraid of her," she explained.

On hearing this, Qian Feng was momentarily astounded, seemingly unable to comprehend the connection, but vaguely grasping the essence of it.

After a moment of silence, Qian Feng asked, "Qian Xue, you rank third in Shennv Xuanhui, and among all the sisters, you were the first to know both me and Qian Ye. From your perspective, have Qian Ye and I changed in any way?"

Qian Xue took a moment to think, then continued, "When I first met you, I thought both you and Second Elder Sister were really nice and treated me well. But as Shennv Xuanhui grew, I found that you changed, becoming overbearing, while Second Elder Sister remained the same, still the one I liked. Now, observing the behavior of you and Second Elder Sister, it seems you have reverted to your old self, while Second Elder Sister has started becoming overbearing and unreasonable. I don’t know why. You two keep changing."

"Really?" Qian Feng furrowed her brows in contemplation.

Feeling she had said all she could, Qian Xue was about to take her leave when Qian Feng called out to her, "Qian Xue, I have a task for you. Secretly watch over Qian Ye’s every move, and if you find her doing anything inappropriate, you must tell me."

"Understood, I will do it." Qian Xue accepted the task, albeit reluctantly, as she truly did not wish to interact with this unfamiliar Qian Ye.

After Qian Xue left, Qian Feng looked lost in thought, rubbing her head with a bitter smile on her lips.

Qian Feng finally understood why, in ancient times, Qian Ye had left Shennv Xuanhui. It wasn’t that Qian Ye defected; it was due to Qian Feng’s change, the disappointment Qian Ye felt toward her.

Now what? Suddenly, Lin Xi’s image flashed across Qian Feng’s mind, bringing a wave of guilt, but then Qian Feng remembered what Qian Ye had said before she left, warning Qian Feng not to do anything that would hurt their relationship.

"What should I do? Who can tell me?" Qian Feng found herself in an unprecedented struggle. Logically, she knew she should do the right thing, but emotionally, she did not want to harm this most precious sisterly bond.
