Chapter 372 "If you can do it, so can I."

The priest was only young.

She had never lived to adulthood or grown up. In every life in the priest's memory, she had experienced failure and death repeatedly. Her world was so small that it only contained the Penglai Immortal Sect.

But Ruan Wei had already reached adulthood when he was in this world.

After returning to the world of cultivation, it was completely different from the seclusion of the Penglai Immortal Sect in the past.

Chi Jin came back earlier this time, so she was able to go to Tongzhou to participate in the Ten Directions Competition, where she met many different people, made new friends, and realized her own feelings.

Compared with the priest, Ruan Wei has grown in terms of interpersonal relationships and emotions.

so.

In Ruan Wei's opinion, the priest's current state might not be due to his own wrong decision.

Let me reiterate that Ruan Wei is also a human being, and it is impossible for her to do everything perfectly.

So the priestess is just a little girl who is still slowly groping her way forward.

Ruan Wei can tolerate her.

Just like everyone in Penglai Immortal Sect always tolerates me.

Nourished by love, she has learned how to love.

"We were just unlucky in the past, but now things have turned around." Ruan Wei said as he watched the priest's expression gradually calm down.

She then put the sword in her hand back into her waist.

The priest murmured, "May good times come after bad times?"

"Yes," Ruan Wei nodded, "This is what Heaven says, after adversity comes good."

The priest completely crashed. Heaven's way? This muddy thing is actually starting to come to an end?

"Ruan Wei, we are about to succeed."

This was not the first time Ruan Wei called her name, but it was the time when she could hardly hide her excitement.

Ruan Wei: "Don't fall at dawn. The burning world you want to see is about to appear."

The unyielding pride has never wavered.

"I'll make it burn."

"It will burn through the day."

Her words always sound so sweet at the right time, just as Ruan Wei is always reliable at critical moments.

The priestess fell silent, and her five fingers, which were loosely placed on her sides, loosened behind her.

Ruan Wei naturally noticed the softening of her attitude, so she struck while the iron was hot, "I think our fight is meaningless."

"You won't give up on your right to own your body, and neither will I."

Whoever makes it is an idiot.

Ruan Wei's voice sounded very calm, as if they were discussing how to deal with someone else's body. "We understand each other a little bit, but not that much."

Ruan Wei didn't know how the priest had survived each of his tragic lives. She only had a few memories of his previous successful life, so the hatred in her heart was naturally not as deep as that of the priest.

The priestess didn't know what Ruan Wei's life was like in the present world, nor did she know what Ruan Wei had done in this life. Her distrust of Ruan Wei was natural.

She herself is not a good person, how can Ruan Wei be a good person?!

But in general—

Ruan Wei is in present continuous tense and priest is in past continuous tense.

so.

Ruan Wei can say that he is a priest, but a priest cannot call himself the future Ruan Wei.

This is determined by the order of birth.

This is where the priest's misfortune lies.

Ruan Wei said, "We can't achieve anything by fighting. No matter how hard we fight, others will just take advantage."

"Also, while it's true that you swallowed the mirage, it shouldn't have completely disappeared, right?"

Ruan Wei tilted her head, "Aren't you afraid it might find you?"

The priestess's expression froze, and she narrowed her eyes dangerously.

"How do you know?"

Ruan Wei analyzed the situation methodically, "If you truly swallowed it completely, Master and the others wouldn't have failed to notice. The Mirage is an innate spiritual creature. If you swallowed it and didn't want to arouse Destiny's suspicion, you can only preserve its consciousness and stay here quietly with it."

Ruan Wei spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, there are so many places where you can make a move, and you wouldn't have to wait for me here."

"Am I right?"

There was a long silence.

The priest's voice finally rang out, "Yes."

Her face was a little pale. Ruan Wei was a natural nemesis of the priest.

They know too well what the other person is thinking, and they are too smart to grasp a little detail and deduce the general direction of a long paragraph.

Fortunately, I guessed right.

Ruan Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The priest suddenly added, "You said so much, but it's only because you think you can't beat me now."

Her pupils have always been round, and the priest floating in the air is slightly taller than Ruan Wei. She appears particularly arrogant when looking down at people.

Ruan Wei's heart beat fast when she looked at him.

She pursed her lips, "Indeed."

Ruan Wei was very clear about the gap in strength between the two sides.

In fact, the difference in cultivation level is not a big deal. The most important thing is that the other party knows him too well. The priest knows exactly what move Ruan Wei will make and when, but due to her lack of memory, Ruan Wei is not very familiar with the moves the priest may use.

The priest raised his eyebrows, "Then you acted like you were ready to fight me?"

"Then I can't show weakness, right?" Ruan Wei spread his hands, feeling somewhat helpless. "If I really retreat before the battle, given our temperaments, I'm afraid there won't be any further conversation."

"You would have come up and gotten me out!"

It feels really bad to have your inner thoughts completely seen through!

However, they all felt this discomfort at the same time.

The priest combed her hair irritably. She pursed her lips and said, "It's really troublesome to face you."

Ruan Wei agreed, "I think so too."

The man and the soul looked at each other, and a smile appeared on the corners of their lips.

Ruan Wei was the first to suggest, "Why don't we——"

"I won't take over someone else's body anymore," the priest took over her words, "I've gotten used to it after floating around for so long."

"Besides," the priest paused.

She seemed a little annoyed at herself for being soft-hearted, and said stubbornly, "Now that you've reached the Golden Core stage, destiny will probably pay more attention to you. It's not a good time for me to take over someone else's body now."

"never mind."

With a word of "forget it", the priest really gave up.

The priestess had no ill will towards Ruan Wei in this life. She just felt that Ruan Wei was not able to complete the task of destroying the destiny, but she herself might be able to.

Ruan Wei broke through to the Golden Core stage, and Tianming was probably on the verge of going crazy.

The priestess had borne the wrath of the mad destiny, and she could also accept failure calmly, as she was very experienced.

So she planned to test the waters on herself first.

In this life, Ruan Wei hadn't experienced the cost of those past failures, each more painful than the last. She was very naive. The priest didn't like this naiveté, but that didn't mean he wanted Ruan Wei to lose it.

What she just said was actually true.

The priest worked so hard for so long just to make sure that he doesn't have to do anything in this life.

You don't have to do anything.

Ruan Wei nodded. She knew herself too well, so she naturally saw through the priest's true intention hidden under the threat of possession early on.

She said, “I know you’re trying to increase your chances of success.”

"But you can also try to believe in me and believe in yourself now."

"If you can do it, so can I."

The girl said with certainty.
