Chapter 272: Family!
**"Phew!" You take a deep breath, trying not to overthink.**
**Reality still has time, still has a chance to be saved, worrying about it now is pointless!**
**No matter what, it's best to focus on the present.**
**You know that the simulation is nearing its end, and within the next few decades, this world will be destroyed.**
**This amount of time is not enough for you to achieve anything significant through cultivation.**
**Since that's the case, you choose not to continue cultivating.**
**Instead, you return to the ancient relic once more!**
**Your strength has significantly improved now.**
**You want to try again to see if you can break the towering gate here!**
**"Boom! Boom! Boom!"****You punch the gate repeatedly.**
**The effect is not ideal.**
**Although each punch creates a few cracks,**
**that's all it does.**
**You estimate that with your current strength, it would take tens of thousands of years to break this gate.**
**Without tens of thousands of years, it's completely impossible to break it!**
**This leaves you puzzled!**
**Logically, your current strength has surpassed the half-Dao level.**
**Even without activating the War God Body, you should have peak half-Dao level combat power!**
**With such strength, breaking the "World Gate" should not take so long, right?**
**But upon further thought, it seems normal.**
**During the previous cross-time simulation, when the Divine Tortoise attacked the "World Gate," there were dozens of peak half-Dao level experts.**
**So many experts attacked for thousands of years and only managed to create a lot of cracks on the "World Gate"; they didn't destroy it.**
**In the end, the "World Gate" opened itself, and only under the self-destruction of the Divine Tortoise and you did the gate finally get destroyed.**
**Seeing that this path is not feasible, you don't waste any more time.**
**Afterward, you return to the Jiang Family Mansion.**
**Back at the Jiang Family Mansion, you don't cultivate.**
**Instead, you frequently hover around Jiang Ruxuan.**
**That's right, you want to take Jiang Ruxuan to see the "World Gate" to find out if there's a secret about her.**
**But you're worried about unexpected incidents.**
**You're very conflicted now.**
**Every time you make up your mind to take Jiang Ruxuan, you end up giving up halfway when you face her.**
**This results in you frequently visiting Jiang Ruxuan.**
**In the blink of an eye, a year passes.**
**One day, you arrive outside Jiang Ruxuan's courtyard again.**
**Before you enter, Jiang Ruxuan's voice comes from inside the courtyard.**
**"Brother, what are you bringing me today?"**
**Recently, every time you come here, you use the excuse of bringing resources or small trinkets.**
**Now Jiang Ruxuan even anticipates your excuses.**
**Hearing this, you awkwardly touch your storage ring.**
**You probe inside with your consciousness, searching around.**
**Awkwardly, it seems you've already given Jiang Ruxuan all the resources she can use.**
**Seeing your awkwardness, Jiang Ruxuan opens her storage ring and pours out a large amount of resources onto the ground, instantly filling the entire courtyard!** Ꞧ
**She chuckles softly, "Brother, look, these are all the resources you've given me over the past two years! I can't even use them all!"**
**Seeing this, you feel even more embarrassed.**
**But Jiang Ruxuan's voice rings out again.**
**"Brother, if there's something, you can just tell me directly. You keep saying you're bringing me things, do you think I'm a fool?"**n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
**"Ha, haha!"**
**You laugh dryly, unsure of what to say.**
**Could you really tell Jiang Ruxuan that you want to use her life to test and uncover the secret she might hold?**
**Even though the world is on the brink of destruction, it hasn't been destroyed yet, has it?**
**In the end, you shake your head and say, "No, nothing; your brother is really strong now, what could be wrong; it's just boring to cultivate every day, so I came to see you!"**
**"Can't a brother come to see his own sister?"**
**You still avoid the issue, finding an excuse to brush off Jiang Ruxuan.**
**You can't bring yourself to do it.**
**You can't harden your heart.**
**To send a family member you've been with for hundreds of years into danger just to verify a possible secret.**
**Your words don't convince Jiang Ruxuan.**
**She looks at you and speaks softly, "Brother, we are family; I know you have something going on, and you need me, just tell me; what do you need me to do?"**
**After hundreds of years together, Jiang Ruxuan has completely accepted you as her brother.**
**She considers you and everyone in the Jiang Family as family.**
**Now she knows you have something going on, and it's not a good thing; but she's willing to take the risk for you!**
**Hearing Jiang Ruxuan's words, you wish you could slap yourself.**
**You silently curse yourself: "Jiang Yifeng, what were you thinking, how could you even consider putting your family in danger!"**
**However, you don't show it on the surface, you just look at Jiang Ruxuan and smile lightly, "Really, it's nothing!"**
**After speaking, you toss your storage ring to Jiang Ruxuan and turn to leave.**
**At this moment, you make up your mind never to have any thoughts of using or harming those around you again.**
**For you, it might just be a simulation.**
**But for the people in your simulation; it's a real life.**
**Like Jiang Ruxuan this time, and your father Jiang Fushan in previous simulations, even Da Hu, Xiaoqing, and Little White during the cross-time simulation.**
**They are all willing to take risks for you; to fight for you!**
**If you continue to deliberately use them, you would truly be inhumane.**
**As for the secret, there will always be a chance to uncover it.**
**At worst, you can do a cross-time simulation in the future!**
**Although you're a bit worried that cross-time simulation might drag you in, as long as you don't appear in front of people, silently observing everything alone.**
**There shouldn't be any problems.**
**Once you figure it out, you instantly feel relieved.**
**That day, you leave the Jiang Family Mansion.**
**You want to use the remaining time to personally search for Ye Xiaoqing in the chaos.**
**Perhaps it's because the people from the Immortal Realm aren't strong enough that they can't find any trace of Ye Xiaoqing?**
**However, you don't know that after you left, Jiang Ruxuan secretly found your father Jiang Fushan to get Bai Moyu's contact method.**
**Over the years, Bai Moyu helping you with tasks is no secret in the Jiang Family Mansion.**
**Jiang Ruxuan thinks that since you won't say, she might as well ask Bai Moyu.**
**After obtaining Bai Moyu's contact method, Jiang Ruxuan quickly learns that Bai Moyu is helping you search for someone.**
**But clearly, this is not something she can help you with.**
**Afterward, she asks about many things, almost inquiring about everything related to you over the past thousand years.**
**Bai Moyu doesn't think much of it, after all, you didn't ask him not to say anything.**
**As a "simp," Bai Moyu naturally shares everything.**
**After a long time, Jiang Ruxuan learns about the "gate"!**
**This might be the only thing related to her.**
**She recalls her mother's instructions before losing her memory.**
**And connects it to the abnormal gate Bai Moyu mentioned, causing her body to tremble slightly.**
