Reborn As Lucky Star
Chapter 377: This Name?

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: This Name?

The North Sea is home to a Celestial Venerable, the Divine Dragon seen only in glimpses.

It is said that even the Heavenly Dao holds him in some regard.

The common folk have long since forgotten his given name, daring only to respectfully refer to him as the North Sea Celestial Venerable.

However, Yan Sinian and his ilk were no ordinary cultivators.

They had found a fragment in an ancient, lost relic that recorded the origins of the North Sea Celestial Venerable.

The eldest brother, who had read through countless tomes, cracked the code himself and ultimately came up with a name—Jiang Jingze.

It was said to be the name the North Sea Celestial Venerable used when he was still a mortal.

Could it be a coincidence that the man before them bore the same name?

It took Yan Sinian a long while before he finally spoke up, "I am Yan Sinian."

Not ’I call myself,’ but ’I am.’

As though he was sure the other party should recognize him, or at least have heard the name.

But Jiang Jingze genuinely did not know him; he simply uttered an "Oh," before his gaze wandered back to Yue Qingqing.

He enticed her with talk of cuisine: "Recently I’ve learned to make a Taoist dish, the ingredients quite intriguing. It’s flavored with thyme, bay leaves, and parsley, with red wine to stew beef until it’s extra savory, different from China’s traditional dishes."

Just by hearing the description, Yue Qingqing couldn’t help but wipe the corner of her mouth, poking her head out from behind Yan Sinian.

"That sounds delicious."

Yan Sinian pushed the mischievous head back, "Children shouldn’t drink alcohol."

Jiang Jingze coldly said, "The red wine in the dish is just to season the beef, not for drinking."

"It’s the same thing," Yan Sinian insisted as he took Yue Qingqing by the hand, "Come, your elder brother will take you home now."

Yue Qingqing hurriedly glanced at Jiang Jingze, confused as to why her elder brother suddenly revealed the nature of their relationship in front of the boy.

Jiang Jingze, however, simply watched her, a look in his eyes that made Yue Qingqing touch her nose and quietly mouth a message.

"I’ll come find you later."

Red wine stewed beef and the like, it sounded too good to miss out on.

Jiang Jingze’s gaze suddenly brightened, though he still watched Qingqing being led away by the so-called brother, his mood had considerably improved from before.

Qingqing’s secrets were always plentiful, and not only did Jiang Jingze have no desire to probe them, he would find all manner of ways to keep them for her.

But given that it was her elder brother, there surely couldn’t be any other implications to their relationship.

On the way home, Yan Sinian subtly pumped her for information, uninterested in the precise details he had heard about this boy before.

Yet, since the fellow had used that name, he couldn’t help but pay a bit more attention to him.

Yue Qingqing, naturally, held nothing back from Yan Sinian, recounting in detail their first encounter.

As a practitioner of the sword, Yan Sinian couldn’t see the Qi upon Jiang Jingze.

But from Yue Qingqing’s description, it wasn’t hard to picture the intense colors.

Yan Sinian’s gaze drifted to the horizon, his mind teeming with confusion.

If that man truly were the North Sea Celestial Venerable, he would have all but attained longevity parallel to the heavens, so how could he possibly come to this world devoid of Spiritual Energy.

Besides, this was a person whom even the Heavenly Dao showed some respect. Even if he were to be reborn, he would certainly be blessed with Qi Fortune and destined to wealth from birth.

How could he have become so unlucky?

Even Yan Sinian couldn’t fathom the cause, but his mind unintentionally wandered to the bizarre events that ensued after their little sister, in her attempt to change her fate, was struck down by heavenly lightning...

Taoist orders collapsed, the world descended into chaos.

In just a few short days, the Heavenly Dao seemed subtly shaken, causing even the most composed cultivators to grow fearful.

The cultivators, united with the powerful, sought to find the reason.

Among them were those who traveled to the North Sea, only to return without success.

"I’m home now."

Yue Qingqing’s voice interrupted Yan Sinian’s contemplation.

Yan Sinian responded and watched his younger sister enter the building.

Forget it, these were all matters of the past. Even if Jiang Jingze truly was that individual, it was clear he had forgotten his past.

In a nutshell, trying to spirit away his younger sister right under his nose,

Forget about a door, there wouldn’t even be a window!
