Chapter 169 Guilt and Sin Under the Umbrella

Bai Yunshu whispered, Qi Ningzhu gritted his teeth, feeling aggrieved.

"Why? Why should you pay for her mistakes? Do you care about her that much? You advise me to be magnanimous, but what do I have to endure?"

Her eyes were red, she felt wronged for herself and felt sorry for Bai Yunshu.

Why? Why was it her and Bai Yunshu? Why were there only two of them cultivating the Way of the Common People?

In the way of the common people, justice comes first, one should live up to the heaven and earth, have no regrets even if dying, and have no fear of the devil's abyss.

Bai Yunshu's plan to sacrifice herself ended here, so that everyone behind her could have smooth sailing.

Bai Yunshu looked at the tears welling up in her eyes, hugged her with heartache, and patted her back to comfort her.

"Ningzhu... I'm sorry. After I pay them back, I won't owe them anything. I will be by your side from now on. I won't let you down. Please trust me."

Bai Yunshu couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, what should he do? What should he do? It seems that no one can be blamed for what has happened...

When Master resolutely jumped into the Demonic Abyss, wasn't she afraid? But she said, someone has to do it, otherwise, who will protect you? Aren't we here now protected by our ancestors?

"Yunshu, are you scared?"

At that time, the master stood at the mouth of the Demon Abyss, looked at her with a smile, and asked that question.

"Master, I'm scared. I don't want to die. Master, aren't you scared..."

When facing his master, Bai Yunshu naturally chose to tell the truth.

The master, who is usually self-disciplined and polite, suddenly became naughty.

"Yunshu, guess what?"

She didn't say whether she was afraid or not, she just asked her to guess.

Bai Yunshu couldn't guess and asked her back.

"Master, are you willing to leave us?"

The master sighed, then spoke with a hint of guilt.

"Yunshu, you will understand later. The disciple I feel the most sorry for is you, but only you have the character and the heart to be my disciple."

Of course I am reluctant to let go, but saying it out loud will only make me more worried and miss you.

Bai Yunshu looked at her figure and spoke indifferently.

"How could that be? Without Master, there would be no me, wouldn't there be any? It was Master who picked me up from the abandoned baby tower, it was Senior Sister who raised me, and it was the sect that gave me a home. Master has never wronged me in any way. After all, Master dotes on me the most..."

This was the last conversation between the master and the disciple in Bai Yunshu's memory.

It’s funny to say, the Cangsheng Dao has a graduation rate of zero...all of them have been sacrificed.

She also didn't understand why it had to be her...

But that won’t happen anymore. From now on, Cangshengdao will no longer be a tool of the Heavenly Dao.

Qi Ningzhu felt very upset when he heard her apology.

"I don't want your apology, I want her apology! Why should you apologize on her behalf? Why should you atone for her sins? What do you want to repay them? What do you owe them?"

When she was emotional, Qi Ningzhu wanted to push Bai Yunshu away, but she was about a head shorter than Bai Yunshu and couldn't push her away at all.

Inexplicably, he missed his previous body. If he was a little taller than Bai Yunshu, he would have been able to push her away easily...

Well, it was just something she could only think about. After all, Bai Yunshu's cultivation level was far superior to hers. If she got serious about it, she wouldn't be able to push him away at all.

Bai Yunshu felt her movements, and the paranoid desire in his heart was aroused again.

She suddenly lowered her voice, and her fingertips moved slightly, urging the red rope around her wrist.

"Don't push me away, even if you hate me. This is all my fault..."

She spoke in a domineering manner. Qi Ningzhu was in a bad mood when she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Where did this rope come from? How did it tie me and Bai Yunshu together? I couldn't get it free at all.

Qi Ningzhu thought for three seconds and finally focused her attention on the red rope on her wrist.

It must be it. It must have made Bai Yunshu unhappy just now. Bai Yunshu is the one who did it!

"Master! Let me go first!"

She pouted, looking reluctant, and Bai Yunshu shook his head.

"No."

Qi Ningzhu: “…”

"Why?"

Bai Yunshu is really becoming more and more shameless, a huge difference from five hundred years ago.

Perhaps, my departure was such a huge blow to her that she changed as a person and in a different way.

Who hasn't changed? Everyone has changed...it's just a matter of how much.

Bai Yunshu is very stubborn.

"You want to push me away, but I won't let you go! I've already said I won't let you go again."

She spoke with a sense of righteousness, and Qi Ningzhu was speechless. He thought to himself that if his cultivation level was not low enough, he would definitely beat her up.

In fact, to be honest, if her cultivation level was high enough, she might do what Bai Yunshu did and tie someone up to prevent her from leaving again.

People cannot bear too much despair in their lives. After the first time, they will be afraid of the second time and will take precautions.

"Are we supposed to stay like this forever? We have to go out eventually! There are still so many tasks to complete. I won't push Master away, okay?"

Qi Ningzhu discussed it with her, Bai Yunshu thought about it and tentatively loosened the rope.

"My little disciple, after seeing so much, are you still angry? Can you please not be angry?"

She coaxed Qi Ningzhu like she was coaxing a child, and Qi Ningzhu was suddenly amused by her.

"I'm angry, but Master, there's no need to coax me like this. I'm not a child anymore. Now is not the time to be angry..."

Besides being angry, I also felt heartbroken... Bai Yunshu had lost so much of his cultivation in opening the Demon Abyss, and was later ridiculed by everyone.

After getting her answer, Bai Yunshu finally put away the red rope.

Qi Ningzhu really didn't push her away, but just asked tentatively about her gift.

"Where's the gift you promised me? Is it still there..."

She was so curious, what would Bai Yunshu give her?

When Bai Yunshu heard her asking for a gift now, his body stiffened.

It’s a bit embarrassing to say.

"Yes, I left it on Musheng Peak. When we return, I will take it out and give it to you."

"good."

Qi Ningzhu agreed, and the two of them were speechless in the end, just hugging each other quietly for a while.

They each had their own thoughts, but they hugged each other tightly in tacit understanding. While lamenting the unfairness of fate, they also felt sorry for each other.

There is no solution to the contradictions and entanglements, and the simplest wish in my heart is to stay together forever.

After the snow outside stopped, the two set out on their mission again.

But there was a lot of snow on the trees, which fell down when the wind blew. Bai Yunshu held an umbrella for the two of them.

Although using spiritual power to cast a barrier can have the same effect, using an umbrella seems more romantic when being with the one you love.

This time, Qi Ningzhu was smart. After following Bai Yunshu out, she consciously took her hand and interlocked their fingers.

Bai Yunshu smiled and said, "This was my disciple's own initiative. You are not allowed to let go."

Qi Ningzhu snorted softly and said, "What if I don't take the initiative and some people get angry? I'm not good at coaxing people."

She seemed to be still blaming Bai Yunshu, and said that she was very stingy.

Bai Yunshu understood her implication and moved all the umbrellas towards himself, not holding them for her.
