Chapter 279

So in the story, were both their sects that powerful?

They could actually control and sway the succession of the Jiangshan artifact!

The Sui Emperor Yang Guang?

The real Sui Emperor was indeed Yang Guang, and his reputation was not good.

However, although the Great Sui was not entirely stable, it had not yet reached the point of beacons rising on all sides, and moreover, their two sects were not within the Great Sui.

They were in Great Qin!

Qin had four provinces, and Shanzhou was one of them.

Interfering in the court of Great Qin?

Although the Yingui Sect and the Cihang Jingzhai were not weak, they would not dare to make such a bold claim.

"Selecting an emperor on behalf of Heaven? What arrogance!" he sneered with a mocking smile.

But thinking of the status of Cihang Jingzhai in the book, being able to command the White Path, it seemed they truly had the capability.

This made his heart feel a bit sour.

【She is the Holy Maiden of the Yingui Sect, possessing not only peerless beauty but also being the strongest successor in the history of the Yingui Sect, engaging in fierce competition with Shi Shi Feixuan, the Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai】

【Their cultivation levels were comparable, their intellect and Wu Gong were unmatched in the current age, and both were peerless beauties; moreover, bearing the missions of the greatest sects of the Righteous and Demonic Paths, the intensity of their competition can be imagined】

【The struggle between the Fairy and the Demoness has always been the most talked about】

【Shi Shi Feixuan and 【she】 became two of the most dazzling stars in the history of Wu Xia in the previous life, extremely popular and deeply loved】

【And "choose one of the two, which do you prefer" was even more of a highly heated multiple-choice question】

"Nun Shi... indeed, wherever we go, we are rivals."

Suddenly, she felt that she and Shi Shi Feixuan were destined enemies.

"Choose one of the two? Then if it were you, who would you choose?"

Such a question popped into her mind.

But very quickly, she had the answer.

Because she knew Jiang Sishui's answer would definitely be—

Only children make choices; I want them all!

On the other side, Qin Mengyao was also sighing: "Senior Sister, no wonder every time we meet, you only have a grudge against her and rarely pay attention to me; it turns out you two are so fated in the book."

Shi Shi Feixuan remained silent, but her heart was curious: what was her ending in the story?

Between the two of them, who won?

At this moment, she heard Qin Mengyao say again: "Senior Sister and 【she】 are from 'Tang Dynasty Twin Dragons', Lian Niichang comes from 'The White-Haired Demoness', so what about me?"

Shi Shi Feixuan glanced at this junior sister and smiled: "Wait until you meet the owner of the diary, and you will know the answer yourself."

Qin Mengyao nodded her head slightly: "Then let's wait a bit longer."

【In terms of excellence, 【she】 and Shi Shi Feixuan were equal】

【They were the best rivals】

【But the final result was that she lost】

【She lost in her career, and she lost in love】

【The Li faction supported by Cihang Jingzhai ultimately seized the world and established an unparalleled hegemony】

【The true dragon emperor chosen by Shi Shi Feixuan eventually became one of the most outstanding emperors in history, founding the 'Reign of Zhenguan' that would be revered for ten thousand generations】

【In personal feelings, she was infatuated with Xu Xu Ziling, one of the two male protagonists of the story, and for his sake, she even disregarded life and death】

【However, Xu Xu Ziling only felt moved towards her, but never truly fell in love】

【Conversely, Shi Shi Feixuan, who prioritized the world and her sect, instead became the white moonlight that Xu Xu Ziling could pursue but never obtain】

【When Shi Shi Feixuan left, Xu Xu Ziling had no choice but to marry another heroine—Shi Shi Qingxuan】

Shuzhou, Secluded Forest Cottage.

Shi Shi Qingxuan, who was studying music with Cheng Ying, felt slightly surprised: "Me?"

The struggle between the two Holy Maidens of the Yingui Sect and Cihang Jingzhai actually involved her.

However, after the surprise, Shi Shi Qingxuan did not pay much attention to it.

That Xu Xu Ziling, she had never even heard of; in this life, let alone marrying him as a husband, she might not even meet him once.

309 Capturing all four Holy Maidens, Realman Tie Qi and Daoist Yin Ping

Creak—

Frowning, pressing her lips tight, grinding her Yaguan, her small fists were almost clenched to pieces, and her bewitching, demon-like small face was filled with defiance.

Especially the failure in love made her feel extremely indignant.

Losing in her career, there was nothing to say.

Because she and Shi Shi Feixuan were the Holy Maidens of the Black and White Paths respectively; although they seemed to start from the same point, in reality, she was at a disadvantage.

According to the diary, the Jianghu background of 'Tang Dynasty Twin Dragons' was that the White Path united and respected Cihang Jingzhai as the leader, while the various factions within the Black Path were mutually undermining each other.

In other words, the Yingui Sect had to not only deal with Cihang Jingzhai but also guard against other Black Path forces stabbing them in the back.

One could say they were attacked from both front and rear.

Therefore, the environment they started in was already at a disadvantage.

In addition, there was an even greater disadvantage—

Reputation!

Competing for the world is not a matter for one or two people; it requires thousands of soldiers and horses, and the attachment of the people's hearts.

So, between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path, which one gives a better impression to the world?

The answer was self-evident.

So from the very start, it had been an uphill battle.

Losing—though she was unwilling to accept it—was understandable.

But emotionally speaking, why should she be the loser?!

The man she had taken a fancy to actually looked down on her so much, and instead regarded Shi Shi Feixuan as his moonlight.

Where was she any worse than Shi Shi Feixuan?!

"Xu Xu Ziling… you bastard, what is so great about you that this Miss would throw caution to the wind for you? Bah!"

"Don't want me? Hmph, as if I care!"

She stamped her feet repeatedly, so angry her face turned green.

The man she liked did not like her back—naturally she was furious that he could not tell good from bad.

But the main thing was, because of Xu Xu Ziling, she felt she had lost every last bit of face!

Was Shi Shi Feixuan, right now, perhaps laughing at her?

And Lian Nichang—would she also be watching her make a fool of herself?

After all, back when the diary had been exposed and Lian Nichang had gone white-haired overnight after being abandoned by Zhuo Zhuo Yihang, she had not spared any opportunity to tease her own senior sister about it.

At the time Lian Nichang had said: ", don't gloat too early—you may not end up any better off than me."

Little did she expect those words would prove all too prophetic!

Moreover, in the story Zhuo Zhuo Yihang had truly loved Lian Nichang once; he was simply weak-willed, and under the pressure of his sect had chosen to give up.

Yet she had given her heart and soul to the man she loved, and never received a response.

Wasn't that even more tragic?

At the thought of this, her composure began to crumble a little.

……

Qin Mengyao smiled and said: "Senior sister, you won. Knowing that little vixen's temperament, she's surely sulking right now."

Shi Shi Feixuan, however, was neither pleased nor saddened, and said calmly: "It's only a story."

Because reality and the background of *Legend of the Tang Dynasty Double Dragons* differed so greatly, there was very little to draw a parallel from, so Shi Shi Feixuan had never taken the story's wins and losses to heart at all.

At most, she was simply a little curious.

Qin Mengyao thought it over and agreed, and so said no more.

【Saved her, originally intending to take this chance to build some rapport with her, but who would have thought this girl would turn tail and run, even saying that next time they met she would give me a "big gift"】

【But it doesn't matter—the Monk may run, but the temple cannot; if she doesn't show up later, I'll go to the Yingui Sect and drag her back!】

【And Shi Shi Feixuan】

【They've both appeared, so how far can Shi Shi Feixuan be?】
