Tang San's Twin Sister-Chapter 221

Tang Yin was like a bouncing ball of energy as she told Tang San everything that happened. If the dusty tomes had no solution, maybe her brother had one.

She completely ignored her fathers presence. Her father who was staring at her with sad eyes. Their gazes crossed for a moment when Yin stuck out her chin and rose her head turning around.

Behind her there was a crashing shound and when she looked ot hte ground she saw thin cracks go through the polished floor. Her brother turned cold again turning, his gaze pure ice before turning sad, terrifyingly so too.

"Bro..." She blinked at him with her best puppy eyes as she showed him around Moon Pavilion, and showed him all her favourite places and her room. He got the one right next to her, a door connecting the two rooms for convenience. "...I would kind of need your help."

Jiang stepped at her side, his hand on her back as she opened her mouth and closed it, taking a deep breath, boxing away most of her emotions to remain clear-headed.

"I will die." Jiang then said to Tang San, Before she was ready, Tang San stopped himself.

"What?" He turned to Jiang, narrowing his eyes. "Why?"

"I saw it happen," Yin explained. "My spirit bone, so I mean my sixth spirit ring, gives me the ability to see into the future, usually just a split second during a fight, so I can move before the other person reacts, ideally...it's quite exhausting, but it works well."

"A powerful ability, which spirit beast?"

"A millennium Carp...it's like my wings. Although...it is freely given. A Spirit Ring far above what I should have exchanged with a favour and promise for revenge on those that killed his mate and his family." She explained. "It itself could not leave, so it made a choice. A Spirit Ring, a spirit bone for a promise," she explained. "It was part of the moon and sea god exams..."

"I see." He closed his eyes. "Let me guess, when you use its full power, you can see further ahead? And in this future, you saw Jiang die."

"I stabbed him." She said her hands were trembling. "I saw my own blade pierce and kill him."

Jiang hugged her from behind. "I could have worse ways to leave." He said with a smile. "At least this way you get quite the spirit ring."

"I would not worry too much about it..." Tang San said. "The future is not predestinated; there are thousands of choices, and each choice forms and paints a different future. That you kill Jiang might only be one fraction of a future."

"My next exam is to kill a title douluo." She explained to Tang San. "The only thing that would count possibly as a substitute is to kill a century millennium spirit beast."

"You have never...."

"Killed anything but a mosquito or a fly?" She asked him. "Not to speak about a human being. I knew it was going to be a wall eventually. Honestly, as a kid, when I said I wanted to be a spirit master, I think I would have said, killing someone, so the problem just gives me a bad villain." She sighed. "But now...now it's not so...you know...far away. It's right in front of me. I have never killed a human being, injured, knocked unconscious, or given Flender diarrhoea pills. But never killed."

He stilled. "I wish I could do the job for you, but you always knew it was a wall you were going to hit eventually. Frankly, it is a miracle you haven't had to kill anyone until now. It feels ironic, you know. You fret over a single life while I have killed hundreds, thousands, possibly to stand here." He looked at his hands. "I bathed my hands in blood."

She pressed her lips together. "I am sorry. I know it's silly."

"It is not silly," San said, looking into the sky. "It is a fair point. Not everyone is born with no remorse in taking a life. I wish I could feel even a fraction of the remorse you do, and yet whenever I take a life, I feel nothing." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"That isn't true, you have killed for fun, you do feel remorse." She objected. "That being said, you can try to give it a thought...you were always the one with more brains out of us two."

"Sure, I will do whatever I can. I wish I could take the test for you too..." He said, and she shook her head.

"Nope." She popped the p. "That's my test all alone, and tell you what San...I have to see it optimistically. I defied fate and destiny and all this shit quite a few times already, before, why not again? I mean, technically, I should already be a dementian young woman about to croak over, half into her grave, and here I am." She grinned at Jiang. "A spirit Master, on quite a track, completing the exams to not one but two gods, alive and kicking, and you know what. I am not dementian."

"No, just halfway." He chuckled, swept up by her optimism. "You are a hopeless optimist, you know that?"

"I think my optimistic self is cooler than my depressed one, you know, and moping in the corner of my room and lamenting is not going to get me anywhere." She grinned. “I’d do something...even if it is not the brightest thing to do and is going to get me in trouble.”

"Well, it is a habit of yours, alongside that you like to put your head into the sand until your brother, or I, kick your ass to move", Jiang pointed out. "Now...I keenly remember there being painting lessons in ten minutes in the classroom." He said. "Where you wanted to attend."

"Damn." She muttered and looked at the clock. "You are right...she was almost sprinting away when she stopped and grinned at Tang San. "Say, bro, how about we kickstart your first lessons?" She asked him, and he tilted his head.

"I thought I was put in music class?" He said. "Not in painting?"

"You will be fine. I am sure." She grabbed him and Jiang. "You can't be worse than Jiang."

The two of them let themselves be dragged after Yin and Tang San looked at Jiang, who made a face. "I really wasn't gifted with any talent for fine arts," Jiang admitted, and Tang San looked at his sister. "Neither am I...at least not in terms of painting."
