Forgive Us, My Dear Sister

Chapter 352

Chapter 352 So That’s It

Bailey confessed these things to Simone not only because he despised lying but also because of his

immense strength.

If Simone had any ill intentions towards him or harbored any evil thoughts, he would be able

to sense it.

Given the difference in their strengths, he naturally wouldn’t allow her to live.

Of course, she was also the opportunity for him to break free from his restraints, which was another

reason.

Simone asked, “Bailey, can you tell me why you merged with this city? If I know the reason, maybe I

can help you find a solution.”

Bailey replied, “Since you already know so much, there’s nothing for me to hide. Over eight hundred

years ago, an outside race invaded this city with the intention of annihilating it. I was born in this city

and had just returned from a journey to visit my relatives. So, I used mystical arts to kill the invaders

who wanted to massacre the city. But it also exposed my identity as a geomancer, and they hired a

powerful shaman to deal with me. At that time, I was only twenty-six years old and had not yet reached

the Divine State. But my opponent was already in that realm, so we fought. I used the secret All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

techniques passed down by my sect to enhance my cultivation of the Divine State temporarily. And in

order to protect this city from annihilation, I chose to perish with him. Who would have thought that I

would leave behind a glimmer of life and fall into a deep sleep? When I woke up again, it was already

three hundred years later, and my age, appearance, and organs had not changed. I became an

immortal, forever stuck at the age of twenty-six. My cultivation also broke through to the Divine State.

But I discovered that I could no longer leave this ancient city. In these few hundred years, I have raised

my cultivation to a level close to the peak of the Divine State. Only then could I move within 300 miles

of the ancient city.” That’s why I was able to follow you to the hospital outside the ancient city last time.

Simone nodded, “So that’s it. The reason you didn’t die and your physique changed must be related to

this ancient city. I’ll think of a solution and let you know. Or perhaps I’ll decipher the jade clasp and find

that so-called opportunity. I’ll pay special attention to see if there’s anything that can help you.”

In fact, she had already figured out how to help Bailey.

As long as she taught him a set of techniques she knew, and he used them to refine this ancient city,

he would be able to break free from his restraints.

This kind of refining technique would not affect or harm the people inside or outside the city.

But for now, she couldn’t tell Bailey.

After all, she was not yet at the Divine State, so how could she know this kind of technique? It was

important to be cautious. What if she revealed it and he had other intentions? She would only expose

herself once she could confront him.

So, she would need to come up with a legitimate reason to bring it up later.

For example, she would awaken the map inside the jade clasp and find a way there.

By then, she could tell him that she found this technique there so as not to raise suspicion.

Bailey always felt like Simone knew something.

But he didn’t believe that someone of her age, strength, and knowledge would know a way to help him

break free from his constraints.

He looked at her and said, “Alright, then I’ll wait for good news!” He promised, “As long as you can help

me break free from the constraints of this city. I owe you a great favor.”

It had been so many years since he could leave the ancient city, and he was very uncomfortable.

After learning to use electronic devices, he realized that the world outside had changed a lot in the past

hundred years.

So, he wanted to go out and see what the outside world was like now.

And he had a feeling.

In order to achieve the Divine State, he had to break free from his constraints and find an opportunity

outside.

Simone smiled and said, “Sure!” If she could help Bailey leave the ancient city and get his favor, she

would do it

She thought for a moment and said, “Bailey, I have a question for you.”

Bailey nodded, “Go ahead.”

Simone asked, “According to what you said, you should have lived for more than eight hundred years.

Is my martial uncle really your master?” Her martial uncle certainly didn’t have the longevity physique.

To live for so many years, there was only one possibility: absorbing qi to replenish vitality.

Bailey chuckled, “No, my master passed away a long time ago. Your martial uncle is a

member of our sect, but he is my former great-grand martial nephew.

He said honestly, “Saying he was my master before was just an excuse to get closer to you.”

Simone asked again, “Then how old is he?”

Bailey smiled and shook his head, “That’s something I can’t say.”

Simone raised an eyebrow and asked, “Does he have any relationship with Jodie?”

Bailey shook his head again, “Don’t ask me; I can’t tell you about your two martial uncles. They are

from the same sect as me, and if I reveal their secrets, I will suffer bäcklash.”

He looked at her meaningfully and said, “It is destined that you will face such a calamity. If you want to

break free from this situation, you have to find the answers yourself. On this matter, I can’t help you.”

If it was any other matter, he wouldn’t mind helping her.

But on this matter, he truly felt powerless.

She had a peculiar destiny and, indeed, looked like someone from another world.

If he were to tell her directly, it would be equivalent to revealing a great secret, and he would suffer the

backlash of divine punishment.

Simone looked at his expression, and it didn’t seem like he was lying.

Not wanting to complicate matters further, she asked, “So, how old is my master? This shouldn’t be

considered a breach of secrecy, right? After all, I am his only direct disciple and can be considered part

of your lineage.”

Bailey replied, “You haven’t formally paid respects to our ancestors. You have not undergone the

initiation ceremony, so you can’t be considered part of our lineage. Of course, I can tell you how old

your master was without breaching any secrets. When he passed away, he was nearly three hundred

years old. Before his injury, he had actually reached the Divine State. The injury caused him to fall from

that realm and also affected his lifespan. But he employed a clandestine method to alter his destiny on

your behalf.”

Continuing, he added, “That’s how he depleted the remaining two decades or so of his life.”
