Chapter 620 - 280: I Want You to Be Human
Chapter 620: Chapter 280: I Want You to Be Human
"What?"
Su Xin’s eyes widened, and the Gentle Heart Sword in her hand was already unsheathed: "You want me to betray my sect?!"
Ming Hu waved his hands repeatedly: "Junior Sister Su, don’t be angry, I’m just worried about you. If the Zhenyang Sect falls, where will you go?"
"Why not come to the Thunder Sword Sect? My junior sister quite likes you, and I... anyway, we will never let anyone bully you!"
"Ming Hu!"
Su Xin snapped coldly, her gentle face flushed with anger:
"I don’t want to hear such words again, Senior Brother Ming, please yourself!"
After saying that, she turned and left. Ming Hu shouted from behind: "No, Junior Sister Su, where should I stay?"
Su Xin ignored him entirely and quickly walked away.
Ming Hu scratched his head, looking frustrated: "My junior sister tricked me, saying one should be straightforward with women, but look, I’ve angered Junior Sister Su!"
In the distance, a slender white figure floated back, and Ming Hu was overjoyed, only to see Su Xin throw a Spirit Key at him:
"The Foreign Guest Residence is below Sunset Cliff, turn left, and after a small stream, it’s there. Your room is Qian Twelve."
Then she turned mid-air, her long hair flowing like a waterfall, her robes fluttering gracefully, leaving Ming Hu momentarily entranced.
"The Zhenyang Sect is full of hypocrites; only Junior Sister Su is kind and pure. Rest assured, Junior Sister Su, no matter what the future holds, I will surely protect you!"
Su Xin flew out of Danxia Peak with her sword, but her mind was in turmoil.
The mystery of the Sect Leader’s identity, whether her master was hiding something from her, what Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe really wanted to do, and now the Zhenyang Sect was facing scrutiny from all sides, all these matters left her confused and unsure of what to do.
Yet, she couldn’t find anyone to discuss it with.
Unconsciously, she arrived at Xiyue Peak. Su Xin smiled wryly, thinking that in the vast Zhenyang Sect, it seemed she could only trust her.
The sky gradually darkened, and Su Xin landed on Xiyue Peak, heading towards the residence of the Commanding Disciple.
Suddenly, Su Xin stopped and leaped onto a large tree.
A moment later, a young girl dressed in a maid’s attire slowly approached below, heading towards the courtyard where Wei Wan lived.
Su Xin frowned slightly; this attire suggested she was a maid from Qiluo Garden, so why was she seeking Junior Sister Wei?
Ahead, Yun Wu walked to the courtyard of Wei Wan, and the door had already opened on its own.
"Come in."
Inside came Wei Wan’s calm voice.
Yun Wu clasped her hands slightly, took a deep breath, and slowly walked in.
Inside the room, Wei Wan sat quietly at the table in green attire, her features like a painting, eyes like water, but her face bore no expression at all, like a corpse.
Yun Wu walked up to her, coldly asking, "Why did you call me here?"
Wei Wan stood up and suddenly spoke: "You are Yun Wu, aren’t you?"
Yun Wu froze, her face changed dramatically, and she stepped back two paces, drawing a dagger from her sleeve.
"How do you know?!"
Wei Wan sighed: "Yun Wu, you are too naive; a place like the Zhenyang Sect is not suitable for you."
Yun Wu’s eyes were fierce: "I came for revenge!"
Wei Wan said: "I understand, that day Mo Sha led the crowd to strike at Cloud Bamboo Mountain. I was always by his side; your father wanted to kill him, I faced off with your father for two moves, and then he was knocked off the cliff."
"I bear responsibility for your father’s death."
"Now that Mo Sha is dead, your enemies are only me and Chen Qingmo."
"Chen Qingmo?" Yun Wu gripped the dagger tightly, asking coldly: "Who is he?"
Wei Wan said: "He is the Spirit Corpse Mountain Master, also the Sect Leader of the Zhenyang Sect. Your father wanted to ally with Zhenyang Sect to protect you, so he handed the Spirit Key of the Cloud Bamboo Mountain’s Guardian Array to my master."
"My master made a duplicate of this Spirit Key, giving one to Chen Qingmo, and the other to Ye Xiyue"
"Chen Qingmo gave his key to his son, Mo Sha, so that day Mo Sha was able to easily open the Cloud Bamboo Mountain’s Guardian Array."
"Your father thought Zhenyang Sect was the Leader of the Righteous Path, able to protect Cloud Bamboo Mountain, but it turned out to be a trap, truly lamentable and pitiful!"
"Shut up!" Yun Wu’s eyes turned blood-red, raising the dagger, stabbing towards Wei Wan.
Wei Wan withdrew her Protective Spiritual Power, closed her eyes, and did not dodge or avoid.
But Yun Wu’s dagger stabbed into the table beside her.
Wei Wan opened her eyes: "You shouldn’t have missed."
She then took the dagger and put it back into Yun Wu’s hand, guiding the dagger slowly towards her chest.
Yun Wu stared at her in shock: "What are you doing?!"
Wei Wan calmly said: "I am your father’s killer; you should kill me."
Wei Wan held Yun Wu’s hand, slowly pushing it towards her heart.
The sharp dagger pierced through the clothes, into the skin, and blood oozed out.
"No!"
Yun Wu struggled desperately, the dagger fell to the ground.
Wei Wan looked at her in surprise: "Why don’t you kill me?"
Yun Wu glared at her, tears streaming down her face, shouting hoarsely:
"You’re not worthy of death! I want to torment you slowly, make you taste every kind of pain that Cloud Bamboo Mountain suffered!"
Wei Wan was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "You are right, I have done too many evil deeds, and indeed should not die so easily."
After speaking, she suddenly undid the buttons on her clothes, and soon her garments fell to the ground, revealing a beautifully curved yet horribly scarred body.
"You, you... how could this be?"
Yun Wu exclaimed, covering her mouth. She had seen the scars on Wei Wan’s shoulders and back before.
But she hadn’t expected Wei Wan’s horrific scars to cover not just those areas, but her entire body!
Those scars, like countless centipedes, were so grotesque it made one want to vomit!
Yun Wu did not vomit; she merely stared at Wei Wan, tears streaming down her face.
Wei Wan handed over a God-piercing Whip to Yun Wu, saying: "This is the tool my foster father and Mo Sha used to punish me; you can use it to torment me."
After she finished speaking, she placed the God-piercing Whip into Yun Wu’s hand, closed her eyes, and stood still.
Waiting for the storm.
Smack!
Wei Wan opened her eyes, instinctively raised a hand to touch her cheek that had just been slapped, Yun Wu retracted her hand, threw the whip to the ground, and pointed at Wei Wan, cursing:
"Do you even count as human? You’re worse than a dog!"
Wei Wan pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement: "You’re right, these years I have been nothing more than a dog he kept, I deserve to die."
"You, you..."
Yun Wu picked up the clothes from the ground, draped them over Wei Wan, and scolded:
"You want to die, but I won’t let you! You want to be a dog, but I want you to be human! From now on you must listen to me, you shall not die, nor disgrace yourself so!"
Wei Wan stared at her blankly for a long time, finally nodding: "Alright."
Yun Wu glared at her fiercely, stomped her foot, and ran out of the room.
Wei Wan watched the departing girl, lost in thought.
She looked down at her body, slowly dressed, and sat down on the floor, hugging herself.
"Father, Mother, once I’ve atoned for her, I’ll come down to join you."
After a long time, Wei Wan suddenly raised her head, only to see an extra person appear in the courtyard.
"Cheng Qingyu?"
