Chapter 607: Chapter 267: Everyone’s Troubles
"Was it Taoist Friend Qiu and Fairy Su who just left?"
In the dark room, Su Xin sat by the window, staring out at the endless, deep night sky.
There was a sound behind her, and Su Xin, delighted, went over to the bed, "Junior Sister Wei, you’re awake?"
After Wei Wan fainted, Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er brought her into the room to rest. Su Xin was bewildered, couldn’t sleep, and let the other two rest while she stayed by Junior Sister Wei’s side.
Seeing that Wei Wan had finally woken up, the worries in Su Xin’s heart diminished slightly, and she helped Wei Wan up:
"Junior Sister Wei, how are you feeling?"
Wei Wan leaned weakly in her arms and laughed at herself:
"My cultivation is still intact, unfortunately."
"Junior Sister Wei..." Seeing her like this, Su Xin didn’t know what to say.
Wei Wan looked at her, "I thought you wouldn’t allow me to live."
Su Xin was taken aback, looking at her in surprise, but saw Wei Wan calmly looking back at her.
In the darkness, the two gentle and soft women gazed at each other.
The difference was, one was as calm as a dead person, while the other was as confused as a child.
After a long while, Su Xin sighed deeply,
"Junior Sister Wei, in your heart, what kind of person am I?"
Wei Wan replied, "You are a fool."
Su Xin looked at her in astonishment, then smiled bitterly, "Junior Sister Wei, overnight, you seem to have changed a lot."
Wei Wan was silent.
Indeed, she had changed.
All these years, she had always been a tool in others’ hands, without a shred of dignity.
Finding her biological parents became her only motivation to live.
Now, she had found them; her parents were waiting for her in the Underworld.
She should go down to find them.
Just needed to return to Zhenyang Sect and let Xiaowu kill her. This way, Xiaowu could avenge and she could die with some value.
A person who is about to die naturally has no need to continue pretending.
Rather than saying she had changed, it’s better to say she restored her original self.
Indifferent, cold, treating others like this, treating herself likewise.
But Su Xin was different; there was still perseverance and belief in her heart.
"Junior Sister Wei, you’re right. I prioritize the sect in all matters and always listen to my master’s words. I thought Zhenyang Sect was the true leader of the Righteous Path, the brightest place in the world."
"Even if I knew Junior Martial Uncle Zheng wanted to do something indecent to Junior Sister Ye and almost harmed Junior Sister Si Minglan, and I knew Junior Martial Uncle Shi and Junior Martial Uncle Wei did many shameful things to become Sect Leader."
"But I still believed Zhenyang Sect was the most fair and righteous sect."
"But now, even the Sect Leader could possibly be one of the Spirit Corpse Mountain’s people..."
"You call me a fool, and I admit it."
"But I still don’t believe it. The Sect Leader is the person my master respects the most. My master is so gentle and kind; the person she respects cannot be that bad, I don’t believe it."
Wei Wan stared blankly into the void darkness, her eyes empty, suddenly laughing:
"What if Tantai Mingyue is also one of Spirit Corpse Mountain’s people?"
"Impossible!"
Su Xin stood up abruptly, glaring at Wei Wan:
"Master raised me from a young age, taught me cultivation techniques, taught me to treat others kindly. Master has saved many people; she could never be a bad person!"
Wei Wan laughed again, "Senior Sister, is there an absolutely good person in this world? Can you guarantee that Junior Martial Uncle Tantai hasn’t done a single evil deed?"
"This..."
Su Xin was momentarily at a loss for words; she argued:
"Anyway, you saying that the Sect Leader is the Spirit Corpse Mountain Master is just your word. Unless there is evidence, I won’t believe it!"
Wei Wan closed her eyes, seemingly not wanting to waste any more time.
She was already dying; the matters of the world no longer had meaning to her.
The two women sat on the edge of the bed, momentarily silent.
The darkness enveloped the deathly still room.
In a room not far away,
Liu Su was sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, cultivating.
Despite her constant playful demeanor, ever since she went to Cyan Lotus Mountain, Liu Su had been diligently practicing every day.
Every night, Little Ape’s face would appear before her eyes.
That cute little face would soon turn into a pile of bones, hanging on the charred, collapsed beams.
Such scenes always pushed Liu Su to keep cultivating, just to personally avenge Little Ape.
Beside her, Mo Xiaolan was also sitting cross-legged. On Cyan Lotus Mountain, she had shielded Qin Gengyun from the cold energy and was corroded by the Divine Phoenix Flame, and her spiritual power hadn’t recovered even now.
After a long time, Mo Xiaolan opened her eyes and let out a gentle sigh.
When the matter with Zhenyang Sect is settled, I should also leave Qin Gengyun and Sister Qiu to walk my own path.
I haven’t visited the Immortal Remains in Thunder Sword City yet, nor have I experienced the Ten Thousand Miles of Cloud Mountains in Feiyun City. If I have a chance, I also want to visit Immortal Flying Peak to see the traces of the great powers of the past.
This lifetime of love has ended; I only wish to travel the Hongzhou Continent, to see all the great rivers and mountains.
May the final resting place be welcoming the lightning tribulation at Immortal Flying Peak, even if I turn into flying ashes, this life would be without regrets.
Suddenly, the Sound Transmission Talisman in Mo Xiaolan’s arms lightly trembled.
That was what Wu Yiren gave her back on Zhenyang Mountain.
Mo Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, and finally took out the Sound Transmission Talisman.
Lines of text appeared on the talisman paper:
"Brother Lan Yin, I’ve returned to the Western Emperor Palace, no need to worry."
"I went to see Mother, she agreed. If you make it to the top three in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, she will let me marry you!"
"Brother Lan Yin, do your best, I’ll be waiting for you in the West Imperial City!"
Mo Xiaolan looked at the words on the Sound Transmission Talisman, looking puzzled.
Wu Yiren clearly knew she was a girl, so why was she still treating her as a man?
Even went to seek approval from the Western Empress Lin Yuan for their marriage.
What does this mean?
More lines of text appeared on the Sound Transmission Talisman:
"Brother Lan Yin, if you don’t want to be a Prince Consort, I won’t be a princess. I’ll elope with you!"
Mo Xiaolan was stunned, "Yiren..."
Each person in the house had their own troubles, and outside in the village, there were also two bewildered people.
"Ling’Er, are we really going to sneak away?"
Xu Caihe held her Long Sword, looking around furtively.
In front, Zhou Ling’Er leaned down and whispered back, "Caihe, haven’t you noticed that Senior Brother He, Senior Sister Wei, and Senior Sister Su have been acting stranger and stranger?"
Xu Caihe was silent for a moment, then nodded forcefully, "I think Senior Brother He and the others might not be from Zhenyang Sect."
"Yes, if they turn out to be people from the Demon Sect, they might kill us to silence us. We’d better escape while we have the chance."
"But, Senior Brother He and Junior Sister Ruo have saved us many times?"
"Are you reluctant to leave Senior Brother He? Caihe, you absolutely must not be love-brained!"
The two were pulling and tugging, just about to leave the village when they suddenly stopped.
They saw a petite figure slowly approaching from ahead, carrying a pair of long legs in her hands, dragging behind her a tall and gorgeous body.
The tall female cultivator’s hair was disheveled, being dragged on the ground, her flat chest occasionally knocking against protruding stones, making groaning sounds.
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er immediately widened their eyes:
"Fairy Su?!"
