CBGC - ch119.3

Li Xinmei had faced as many difficulties and hardships on the cultivation path as Su Tingyun herself. Just a while ago, she had almost been harmed by Zhang Zhizi. And Zhang Zhizi is someone who had once received her help.

"If we can save someone, let's go back and save this person, Granny," Li Xinmei says.

Su Tingyun nods and asks Big Bai to go back. She emerges from within Big Bai and directly grabs the fish that’s still jumping out. The fish itself is sealed within a formation and can’t jump out, so it might not even know that there are people outside. Being caught from the outside at this moment, it becomes very nervous and struggles desperately. Su Tingyun uses her spiritual energy to bind it and reassures, "Don't worry, we won't eat you."

As soon as she says that, the golden carp immediately stops moving.

Su Tingyun returns to Big Bai's body and urges it to leap forward quickly. Before long, they exit the lotus pond and out of the formation barrier on that pond area.

This formation doesn’t trap people inside; as long as they overcome the snare of hunger, they can successfully walk out.

And when they do come out, they are no longer hungry, but the golden carp remains a golden carp and doesn’t transform back into a human.

Li Xinmei's Qiankun Formation Eyes occasionally allows her to catch glimpses of the human form of the carp.

Suddenly, she holds the golden carp in her arms and lifts the scales at the tail of the fish. The golden carp, who’s been lying still, begins to struggle intensely. Its body is too slippery for Li Xinmei to hold onto, but just then, she holds onto the fish tightly, crying as she says, "Brother, is it you? It's me, Mei Mei."

The human form of the golden carp is wearing clothes, but due to its previous intense struggle, the clothes on his back are torn. On his back, Li Xinmei sees a familiar mark.

It is the same mark engraved on her dagger. Every night, she used to carefully trace the dagger’s mark, deeply imprinting it in her heart.

She has an older brother, a brother who’s been captured by bad people.

This person has the mark, and now, as she looks at his face, she finds that it’s extremely familiar. At the very least, there’s a resemblance of about seventy percent to herself.

Li Xinmei feels a strong conviction in her heart. He is her brother.

"Brother, I'm Mei Mei. Our family lived in the canyon behind Fenghua Town. Do you remember?"

The struggling golden carp suddenly stops its movements. Ning Yuan stares at Li Xinmei in a daze, wanting to speak but unable to find any words. However, seeing as the fish opens and closes its mouth, it fills Li Xinmei with extreme joy.

(Translator's Notes: it's the representative from the Demon Venerable)

It’s him, it has to be him!

She has found her brother, and her brother has turned into a golden carp. She needs to break the formation, or at the very least, find the formation's core, in order to restore her brother's human form.

But at this moment, her cultivation is only at the peak perfect Foundation Establishment stage. Even though she has E Changguang's eyes, which could see through formations, she is still unable to break them.

At the very least, she has to break through to the Golden Core stage in order to save her brother, right?

Since her last failed breakthrough, Li Xinmei has been filled with a strong sense of frustration. She blames herself, feels guilty, and thinks herself inadequate. Her state of mind has been consistently poor, and she’s become even more beaten down.

But now she has to pull herself together because she must save her brother! Li Xinmei tightly grabs Su Tingyun's arm and says, "Granny, I'm going to attempt to breakthrough, into the Golden Core stage. I'm going to break the formation, I'm going to save my brother!"

Su Tingyun is momentarily stunned, then she replies, "Alright. I'll wait for you."

"Granny?" She can’t believe that her Granny has such faith in her. She is nothing but a useless person, constantly failing and dragging others down...

"You can do it," Su Tingyun pats Li Xinmei's shoulder. "Right, Big Bai?"

Big Bai lets out an unwilling chirp.

Xiao Mei told Su Tingyun about her brother many times before. Her wish back then was to find her brother, and now, she has actually found him here.

Finding him here is already a miracle in itself. But considering Xiao Mei's Profound Yin body and her brother's exceptional talent, it is indeed possible for him to enter the Immortal Palace. She just hadn't expected it to happen in this way.

If they hadn't gone back to save him, the thought is too horrible to imagine. She still feels a bit terrified when she thinks about it.

However, now that the miracle has happened, what’s so impossible about merely breaking through to the Golden Core stage?

Where there is love, there are miracles.
