EBE Chapter 576 "Who are you?"
Chapter 576 "Who are you?"
After a few moments of silence, the voice answered her, "Yes."
"Who are you."
There was silence again. Just when Jiang Liqian thought he wouldn't speak again, the voice outside the window rang out again: "Hu Yuheng, my name."
Hu Yuheng?
Jiang Liqian paused for a moment, then blurted out, "Have we met before?"
The wind whistled through the window screen, casting sparse shadows.
"Girl, rest now, you'll be fine tomorrow."
After that, there was no longer any unfamiliar atmosphere outside the window.
Jiang Liqian naturally couldn't stay here to recuperate without knowing why, especially with her junior brother and the others around. She reached out to push the door open, only to be surprised to find that the door had been sealed and couldn't be opened at all.
After thinking for a moment, she retreated to the bed, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and meditated to recover her energy as soon as possible.
On the other side, witnessing Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan being taken away by the vortex, Fu Wennian immediately used his identity jade token to contact the two to confirm their safety. Unfortunately, it seemed that the way to transmit messages was blocked by some kind of barrier, and no matter how he tried to contact them, it was all in vain.
The competition is still ongoing. He is the second senior brother of Zhenfeng, representing the honor of Zhenfeng. He cannot get away immediately for the sake of the competition or the sect, not to mention that he has no idea where they are. Meanwhile, Qingqing is still guarding the seriously injured fox demon boy, waiting for him to return.
"Are you coming with us, or will you each go your own way as before?"
Yun Ruyi did not respond. She remained staring blankly at the spot where Jiang Liqian had disappeared, her face filled with sorrow and loneliness. She stood in the wind, her long veil billowing across the sky, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Or, you're thinking about someone.
If it's meant to be, it will happen eventually.
If a person doesn't have the time, it's hard to force them to.
Jiang Huaizhou didn't have any particular thoughts. He trusted his senior sister's abilities; she would definitely be able to turn the situation around. Perhaps this vortex was even a rare opportunity. He planned to call his second senior brother, leave this place, and continue grinding for points. Tianqian Sect's Sword Peak had never fallen to second place in the sect competition before, so such a defeat couldn't possibly be his doing.
However, Xuan Ling was unwilling to be with him.
To be precise, both of them preferred to be alone.
Sword cultivators cultivate the strength of their own body and spirit. They never pursue the collective, only their own glory and the Great Dao.
Therefore, sword cultivators who survive to the later stages of cultivation are often incredibly strong, such as the current sect leader of the Tianqian Sect, Immortal Venerable Qingzhi.
As for those who die in the way of the sword, they simply die, and no one cares.
Xuan Ling walked to Yun Ruyi's side and chuckled lightly, "What are you pretending to be so affectionate for now, Yun Ruyi? Do you know what grave sins we've both committed? Your choices back then were destined to lead to a terrible death and the eternal loss of our loved ones, weren't they?"
A gentle breeze brushed the strands of hair across her forehead, but Yun Ruyi didn't move, not even sparing him a glance.
Xuan Ling didn't find anything wrong with it. He didn't want this woman's reaction. In fact, the two of them had never liked each other and deeply hated each other.
but.
They are genuine, the same kind of people.
Selfish, dark, clinging to a piece of driftwood, preferring to let her sink with him rather than let go.
But she wasn't driftwood; she was moonlight, so they were the only ones destined to fall into the abyss.
Xuan Ling originally wanted to mock her a few more times, after all, a loser likes to see someone even more hopeless and unsuccessful than himself looking pathetic.
However, when he got to the point of speaking, he suddenly couldn't continue.
As he said, they will all die a horrible death. In that case, what do their current "competitiveness" and "joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness" matter?
Neither he nor she were memorable figures in the senior sister's life; her fate was never related to them.
The two people connected to her have already passed away with her.
This is what was destined, fate.
"Are you alright?" In the end, he left with these words, walked past her, and went away.
Jiang Huaizhou was about to leave as well. He felt that the two of them were speaking in riddles, which made him suspicious and curious. He couldn't help but ask Yun Ruyi, "Senior Sister Yun, are you waiting for Senior Brother Xin Sui to come?"
Yun Ruyi lowered her eyes, her voice indifferent: "Why should I wait for him?"
Jiang Huaizhou was stunned.
Wasn't it said that Senior Sister Yun and Senior Brother Xin Sui had a very good relationship? How come it seems... a little different now?
"Who is Senior Sister waiting for?"
Yun Ruyi pursed her lips and suddenly asked him a very strange question: "If one day you find that you have hurt someone who is very important to you, and you know that the damage can never be undone, what would you do?"
“Uh…” Jiang Huaizhou’s heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. He then rubbed his head and answered honestly, “Since it is beyond redemption, I will atone with my death.”
To atone for one's sins with death...?
Yun Ruyi was stunned, then smiled with red eyes.
Tears streamed down instantly, icy cold.
So, this is the best we can do.
Yes, what more could she possibly want? She can't be greedy anymore.
"Let's go, you should go do your own thing, Junior Brother Jiang."
Fu Wennian returned the way he came and went to the cave where Luo Qing'an and the fox demon boy were. Seeing that the fox demon boy's injuries had stabilized, he felt relieved. He called Luo Qing'an out of the cave and told her what had just happened.
After hearing this, Luo Qing's first thought was to find her junior sister and the others. Fu Wennian analyzed the pros and cons for her and explained that he had already sent a message to the sect that their soul lamps were intact and there was no immediate danger. He thought that there might be another opportunity.
That night, the two and the fox demon boy rested in the cave and decided to wait until dawn the next day to go to the next location, and escort the fox demon boy for a part of the way so that he could return home safely.
Fu Wennian, who was keeping watch at the cave entrance, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Unknowingly, he fell into a dream that seemed both real and unreal.
He dreamt that he was standing under a crimson moonlight, his eyes as black as two empty abysses with no end in sight, sending chills down his spine and filling him with involuntary fear.
In the abyss, a blood-red light flashed, like a jackal thirsting for blood, waiting for its chance to pounce.
In his dream, his body was so stiff that he seemed unable to move, but when he looked at the awake man, it was as if he could swallow him whole in the next second.
He was no longer an ethereal disciple of the immortal sect, but rather a demon who had strayed into the demonic path.
"Who are you!" he heard himself shout in a panic.
Then suddenly, there was a feeling of weightlessness, and the person opened their eyes and woke up instantly.
A night breeze blew, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
My heart was pounding.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Luo Qing'an asked with concern from inside the cave.
Fu Wennian was stunned for a while before he remembered to reply gently, "It's nothing, rest assured."
