Gu Jian nodded slightly, opened the door to the room, and walked out without looking back.

"Jian'er!"

Ye Qingcheng knelt before the shattered sword and burst into tears.

She picked up the fragments of the Longquan sword one by one and pieced them together, as if this could bring back the sword.

But all of this is just self-deception.

A broken sword will never be restored, and a heart turned to ashes will never be rekindled.

The idea of ​​reconciliation after a breakup is nothing more than a beautiful form of self-deception.

Some people leave and will never come back...

A moment later, Ye Qingcheng had pieced the sword back together.

But she was still crying.

Ye Qingcheng had never shed so many tears in all her years of cultivation.

She sensed Gu Jian's determination to leave.

She tried everything she could, but she couldn't save her disciple.

Looking at Ye Qingcheng's appearance, Feng Yantong sighed.

Ai Youwei said angrily, "Senior Brother has gone too far! All Master wanted to do was dig out his Supreme Bone, what's the big deal? Master has already apologized to him, what more does he want?"

"Putting aside the facts themselves, isn't the eldest brother also at fault? If he weren't the only one with the sect's only two supreme bones, how could this have happened?"

Feng Yantong was stunned and speechless.

Is this human language?

Liu Ruyan comforted Ye Qingcheng, saying, "Master, I also think Senior Brother went too far. Even if we almost thought he was colluding with demons this time, he shouldn't be so angry."

"that is!"

Ai Youwei spoke up, surprisingly not contradicting Liu Ruyan this time, and then turned to Ye Qingcheng, saying, "He actually went to participate in the martial arts champion examination. Is he planning to pledge allegiance to those nine fox demon empresses?"

“Master, in that case, he is a traitor to the human race, and he is not worth you being so sad.”

Ye Qingcheng, who was in tears, was slightly taken aback.

Feng Yantong frowned, finally unable to bear it any longer, and said, "Junior Nephew Youwei, is that what you think? Your senior brother only participated in the martial arts champion examination because he wanted to pledge allegiance to the Empress of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Ai Youwei spoke up as a matter of course, and seeing Feng Yantong shake her head, she asked again, "Uncle Feng, is there some other reason?"

Feng Yantong rolled her eyes, thinking that her two junior disciples were a bit stupid, and said, "I've thought of at least two things."

"oh?"

Ai Youwei and Liu Ruyan became curious.

Ye Qingcheng stopped crying and looked at Feng Yantong again.

Feng Yantong glanced at Ye Qingcheng, whose face was covered in tears, shook her head, and said, "First, didn't that person who impersonated Jian'er also participate in the martial arts champion assessment? He must have had ulterior motives. Therefore, Jian'er wanted to use this method to stop him and prevent his scheme from succeeding."

Ai Youwei and Liu Ruyan were slightly startled.

They hadn't thought about that.

Ai Youwei asked, "And the second one?"

Feng Yantong looked at them and said, "Secondly, your senior brother is extremely disappointed in your master. He doesn't want to return to the Misty Sect, so he wants to use this method to make her give up completely."

"What?"

This time, Ye Qingcheng's body trembled, and then more tears flowed down her cheeks.

Does he really hate her that much?

In order to completely sever ties with her, he went so far as to participate in the martial arts champion examination of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

Seeing Ye Qingcheng cry again, Feng Yantong shook her head.

She had a vague feeling that Gu Jian applied to become the martial arts champion for more than just these reasons.

But she couldn't figure out the rest.

This time when they met again, Gu Jian seemed to have an added layer of mystery to him.

In addition, Gu Jian's attitude towards Ye Qingcheng puzzled Feng Yantong.

How to put it.

I have a feeling that Ye Qingcheng did more than just what she said.

Otherwise, Gu Jian wouldn't have acted this way.

Based on her understanding of Gu Jian.

If Ye Qingcheng simply wanted his Supreme Bone, he wouldn't be in this state.

What could possibly have turned the gentle and humble Gu Jian into this state?

What else did Ye Qingcheng do?

Ye Qingcheng was still crying, heartbroken, "Senior sister, what did I do wrong... that Jian'er treated me like this?"

“I already know I was wrong, I have apologized to him, why is he treating me like this?”

Feng Yantong was also thinking about this problem.

She shook her head, then suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, and she asked, "Junior sister, what are your thoughts on reincarnation and past lives?"

Ye Qingcheng didn't know why Feng Yantong asked this question, but she still said, "For mortals, reincarnation is nothing short of a myth. For us cultivators, reincarnation is a normal concept. There are countless paths to enlightenment, and the path of reincarnation is just one of them."

"In this life, we have experienced many things, perhaps we had already experienced them in our previous lives."

"Um."

Feng Yantong nodded and said nothing more, only looking at Ye Qingcheng, the possibility in her mind growing stronger.

Her expression grew increasingly complicated.

Seeing Feng Yantong's strange expression, Ye Qingcheng was somewhat puzzled.

But when she mentioned reincarnation, Ye Qingcheng was slightly taken aback.

Then, as if she had thought of something, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Senior sister, do you mean that this might be Jian'er's second life... In his previous life, he also experienced these things and was hurt by me like this."

At this point, Ye Qingcheng's heart trembled, and she added, "No, it's impossible... He's my disciple. I was just confused for a moment when I thought of letting him use the Supreme Bone to save Chen'er. How could I possibly hurt him again and again..."
