Sword Mountain Tournament 7 Illusion of Illusion II

"Yes." The old man took the five cents, "but it's too little. It's not a lot."

"It's okay." Cong Mo weighed the pitiful amount of rat poison in his hand and gave the old man a smile that was uglier than crying.

Cong Mo stuffed rat poison into her sleeve. The amount was too small to kill anyone. Since God didn't want her life, she could only reluctantly give up this opportunity.

and…

She still wants to practice Taoism, so how can she die?

"You stupid girl!" Dad slapped her in the face. "Why are you so slow in serving the meal? This leg of yours is so useless it might as well be broken! Are you dumb? Say something!"

A Niang threw a pancake onto the ground, which rolled a few times and was covered in dust. "You can't even speak a word, and you still want to eat at the table? I've raised you for so long in vain. Eat this for lunch today!"

Cong Mo bent down, picked up the pancake with an expressionless face and went into his dilapidated house.

I closed the door and leaned against it, listening to the noise outside.

Soon, a few sobs were heard outside.

Cong Mo looked through the crack in the door and saw two people struggling to crawl on the ground towards the door.

She rarely showed a vengeful smile.

She had put a talisman on the door in advance, so they couldn't escape.

Cong Mo threw away the pancake in her hand. She had already figured out the purpose of the illusion, which was to make them encounter the fear in their hearts, so that they would feel scared and unable to escape from the illusion. The only way to eliminate fear was to kill it.

Just as her parents said, she was missing a soul, and she couldn't feel any emotion towards anyone. She was born to cultivate the ruthless way. She was not worthy of having emotions from birth. Since she had no emotions, how could she be afraid?

The world was spinning, and when I opened my eyes, it was already daybreak.

"Huh..." Cong Mo rubbed his head. The bright sunlight sprinkled on the two of them, making them feel particularly warm.

Leng Can frowned, still trapped in his dream and unable to wake up.

Cong Mo looked at the only moving red dot on the spirit stone, gently supported Leng Can's head and laid him on the ground, set up a protective shield and left.

Leng Can was awakened by a bumpy ride. "Where am I?"

His eyes were covered by a red cloth. Just as he was about to pull it off, he was stopped by a pair of hands. "Master, the red veil is meant to be lifted by the groom. If you do it now, you're breaking the rules."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Leng Can ignored his objection and pulled away the red cloth. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was stunned. "Brother..."

"What do you mean by 'senior brother'? Young Master, are you confused again? I'm Xiao Xi!" The man in front of him, who looked exactly like Xi, grabbed the red veil and covered him with it. "Young Master, you've broken the rules. How can you lift the red veil without permission?"

"Little one," Leng Can called out tentatively.

"Yes, young master." Xiao Yi held his hand. "I know that you didn't marry General Cong out of your own heart. You have aspirations, love reading, and dislike talking to warriors. But I still want to say that fate has been decided. General Cong has just returned from the battlefield and has made great contributions. This grand wedding is a sign of his love for you. Moreover, our family is not as good as before. General Cong is doing us a great favor this time. Even if you don't want to, you have to consider it for the sake of the family."

"In the mansion" Leng Can felt really weird about the illusion he had entered, and he pulled open the veil.

Xiao Yi was anxious and wanted to rush over to pull it, "Master, you..."

"Wait." Leng Can, showing some of the authority he possessed as the young master at home before going up the mountain, grabbed his hand. "If you move again, I don't mind ruining the wedding now. Then I can say that it was you who forced me to become mentally disturbed and that's why I'm like this."

"Master, you..." Xiao Yi moved his fingers and relaxed, "...Aren't you forcing me?"

"I'm the master." Leng Can frowned, "You should have obeyed me, how can you force me?"

Xiao Yu shuddered and almost knelt down before him. "I know I was wrong, please don't be angry, young master."

Leng Can stared at his head, unable to suppress the curve of his lips.

I wish he could be so arrogant in front of his senior brother in the real world.

"I ask you questions and you answer them. You can't lie."

"yes."

"You are my book boy"

"yes."

"I'm getting married today. I'm marrying a general who has just made a great contribution."

"yes."

Leng Can touched his chin, "I have never met this general before, and I still have feelings for him."

"Yes, General Cong has been fighting at the border for many years and rarely returns to the capital. You do have a crush on the daughter of the Ji family in the capital."

After a while, he understood the whole story.

"One last question." Leng Can's cheeks flushed. "Is the general I'm going to marry called Cong...Mo?"

"Yes, General Cong Mo is a hero, and his achievements are numerous. He is a hero in the hearts of all the people."

Leng Can coughed lightly to hide his inner excitement.

His illusion was so bizarre that he was actually holding a wedding with Cong Mo. He was the young master of the Leng Mansion and had been engaged to the general since childhood. The general had just returned triumphantly yesterday, and their wedding was held today.

Leng Can narrowed his eyes. She was so anxious, there must be a conspiracy. He had to understand clearly that the Cong Mo here was not the Cong Mo in reality. She might abuse him after they got married.

Sure enough, the next second,

The carriage shook violently and flew backwards.

"Ouch..."

Leng Can leaned on Xiao Yi to avoid falling. Xiao Yi covered him with a veil and said, "Don't worry, Master. I'll go out and take a look."

He leaned out and saw a man wearing a bright red wedding gown similar to Leng Can's, standing in front of the horse with his arms outstretched. "You said you would marry me, why are you marrying him now? I even wore my wedding gown today. How can you just say you don't want me?"

Cong Mo, who was on horseback, frowned when he saw the man coming. "When did I ever say that? Come on, drag him away."

"Wait!" The man pushed away the people who surrounded him and pulled out a knife from his waist. "If you dare to touch me, I will fight you to the death!"

Cong Mo signaled them to stop, dismounted from his horse, grabbed his wrist, pried open his fingers one by one, snatched the knife away, and said viciously, "Have you had enough of this? Do you want the whole capital to laugh at me?"

"Look at your joke...hahaha..." the man burst into tears, "What about me? What should I do? What about the baby in my belly?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a flurry of discussion around.

Cong Mo's eyes widened, and he mercilessly sent someone to drag him away. "This man is full of lies, and he stinks. I will give an explanation to the Leng family and to all the people. I have nothing to do with him."

At this moment, Leng Can's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously looked at his belly. Male... Cong Mo was pregnant and cheated on him with other men.

This world has gone crazy!

If the genders were reversed, this would be a world straight out of a storybook. Leng Can paced back and forth in the room. It was the wedding night, and Cong Mo was busy preparing the banquet outside and had no time to come back to find him.

Leng Can seized the opportunity and searched the entire room, but ultimately found no suggestive language, no clues as to what he should do or how to break the deadlock.

Leng Can recalled what Cong Mo had said to him before he went to sleep, "Remember how we broke through the test before? Don't let your emotions get in the way. Don't bring any emotions into the illusion, and you'll break through."

Leng Can sat back on the couch, covered himself with the red veil, and began to analyze the situation bit by bit. Based on his relationship with Cong Mo here, and according to the storybook, what had just happened was definitely not slander or accidental, and Cong Mo would definitely not treat him well. At most, they would treat each other with respect.

"Don't have any emotions." Leng Can muttered this sentence silently.

Can't he just not care about Cong Mo when he's unhappy or jealous about Cong Mo's behavior?

"I'm sorry for disturbing you today, Madam."

A gust of hot air blew in through the door, and Leng Can immediately sat up straight, his heart beating nervously.

The red veil was taken off, revealing Cong Mo's beautiful face with a blush from drinking. Unlike the cold Cong Mo in the real world, she was a more lively Cong Mo with human touch. Leng Can swallowed and turned his head away.

How come Cong Mo looks so good in wedding dress!

He watched Cong Mo take off her wedding dress bit by bit, and his slow brain barely started to work. He blushed and said shyly, "Wait, wait a minute."

"Madam, you misunderstood."

"What, what do you mean?" Leng Can asked in surprise.

Cong Mo bowed to him. "I know your wife has a crush on someone, and marriage is a tool for mutual use. But I still need to deal with my parents today, so I'll just stay here for one night. I won't touch your wife at all. Please rest assured, your wife. I married you to repay your kindness."

Although he knew it was fake, Leng Can couldn't calm down completely after hearing these words from Cong Mo's mouth, "So you don't have any feelings for me."

"Yes, Madam, the same is true for me."

Leng Can swallowed his anger and said, "What the man who blocked the carriage today said was true."

"It's true, but I will never let this happen again," Cong Mo swore. "The man I met today was indeed my old lover. I accidentally saved him in the military camp, and he gave himself to me to repay me. He's pregnant with my child. I don't want to let him down, and I don't want to break my promise to my wife and bring shame to both of our families. When he gives birth, I will give the child to you for adoption. We won't have sex, and the child will be your compensation. I've been away from home fighting all year, and both our parents need you to take care of them. From now on, you'll take care of everything at home."

"That really gives me the greatest power!" Leng Can's face turned completely cold.

Cong Mo knew he was in the wrong, so he lowered his stance. "I'll make it clear at home tomorrow. As for Madam and your crush, I won't get involved. You can do whatever you want, just don't get caught. After all, I'm a great general, and I don't want to wear a strange hat."

Leng Can took a deep breath, constantly reminding himself that this was an illusion and there was no need to get angry with her. "Then where do you want to keep that person?"

"The Madam will live in the side courtyard of the mansion. I won't let him bother you."

Leng Can gritted his teeth, "Then you'd better be."
