Chapter 221 The Cultivation World Is Right to Feel Sad
Although Mu Jin was begging for help, there was not much fear in her eyes, but more anger. Li Jingxuan was puzzled and asked her: "Why would she kill you for no reason?"
"Because I discovered the girl's secret, she didn't want His Majesty to know, so she wanted to kill her to silence her."
Mu Jin's eyes were fixed on Chu Liangyu's back, like a poisonous snake, making people feel a chill down their spine.
Li Jingxuan frowned slightly, his attention focused on Mu Jin, and for a moment he didn't notice that there was something different about the person in his arms.
"What secret?"
"Girl, her pregnancy is fake. She used a trick to deceive you!"
Mu Jin had already stood up from the ground. When she said this, she pointed her finger at Chu Liangyu, motioning Li Jingxuan to look.
Li Jingxuan pushed the person in his arms away and looked at her belly with a cold face. Sure enough, the five-month-old belly had disappeared.
He had sensed something was amiss when he was already in the palace, but no matter how hard he investigated, he couldn't find a single flaw.
Therefore, he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.
But now, the facts were before him, and even if he wanted to deceive himself, he had no reason to do so.
“Master, I…”
Chu Liangyu lowered his head, his tone a little guilty, and it was obvious that he wanted to explain something, but he knew he was in the wrong, and after opening his mouth for a long time, he had nothing to say.
"Now, leave the Demon Realm and don't appear in front of me again."
There were mixed emotions in Li Jingxuan's eyes, a sense of loss, but also a hint of relief.
Perhaps he did not like the child. After all, the child's existence reminded him of the mistakes he had made all the time.
But being unhappy is one thing, and being deceived is another.
"But Master, I just want to stay by your side."
"Do you know what the people in the sect say about me?"
"They all said I was dishonoring my master and ancestors, that I had no shame, and that the sect's loss of a high-level cultivator was all my fault."
"But... I clearly didn't do anything. After you accepted me as your apprentice, I was about to give up, but I didn't expect something like this to happen later."
Having said this, she unexpectedly changed her guilty look, raised her head and met his gaze directly.
There were tears in her eyes, and she seemed to be about to fall, but she held them back. Even so, her eyes were red.
"That day, I was planning to say goodbye to Master and then leave the sect to gain experience. It was you, Master, who forced me to do that!"
"I couldn't resist and had to accept it, but why... all the mistakes were blamed on me?"
"I admit that I had thoughts about Master that I shouldn't have, but I was about to give up. Why, why are you blaming me?"
"Isn't it said that it's a great honor to improve once you admit your mistakes? Why can't it happen to me?"
She could no longer control the tears in her eyes, and they fell like a flood that could not be stopped no matter what.
Perhaps she felt that this was too inappropriate, so she covered her face with her hands to prevent others from seeing her appearance.
However, tears still flowed from between her fingers.
She cried so hard that her words were barely coherent, and she choked with sobs: "I know that Master was drugged and didn't know about it afterwards. I shouldn't blame you, but I'm just so sad."
"Why are all the mistakes made by me? I bear so much blame, but Master has never liked me."
She suddenly squatted down, buried her face in her knees, her tears soaked her dress, and her words seemed like she was talking to herself, so soft that no one could hear them.
But monks are different from ordinary people. Their ears and eyes are extremely sensitive, so how could they not hear these words?
For some reason, Li Jingxuan clenched his fists tightly. Seeing her like this, he felt distressed and guilty.
Subconsciously, he wanted to move forward, but as soon as he took a step, he controlled himself.
They were master and disciple, and what they experienced was an accident, since the matter about the child was fake.
Then they shouldn't continue making mistakes.
"I don't want to go back to the sect because they will scold me, bully me and leave me with no one to rely on, but I have nowhere else to go."
"I realized that Master was in the Treasure Pavilion, so I thought of this way to deceive you. I'm sorry, Master, I shouldn't have done this."
The sobbing sound gradually subsided. Li Jingxuan only saw her wiping the tears from her face, and then stood up, but with her back to him.
"Now, it's time for me to go. Take care, Master."
Li Jingxuan looked at her departing back, and suddenly, his expression began to twist, cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead, and the evil energy in his body unconsciously dissipated out of his body.
This was a manifestation of his inability to control his inner demons, which led to the demonic energy running rampant in his body.
A voice rang in his mind, familiar yet unfamiliar, the voice of his inner demon that had not appeared for a long time.
"Just admit it, you like your apprentice. Go quickly, she's almost gone. Wouldn't it be better to keep her here?"
"Your reputation in the cultivation world is already bad anyway, so why not confirm it?"
"Besides, the little girl likes you so much, can you bear to see her go out like this? What if she encounters danger?"
"Stop deceiving yourself. What's the big deal about admitting you like your apprentice? Go ahead and get her back."
The inner demon's voice was bewitching, but every word he said knew what Li Jingxuan was thinking. Seeing that he was hesitant to move, he planned to continue saying something.
"Shut up! You're just a demon. It's not your place to dictate my affairs."
