Chapter 63: Rebellion against the Immortals (Part 4) “He must be in love with you.”…
Another group of children were taken to the fairy mountain.
Mingyao followed Yan Chen and squatted on the top of the mountain to watch.
"This batch's qualifications are quite average." Yan Chen popped a grape into his mouth. "However, the requirements for cultivators at the Immortal Mountain have become increasingly relaxed in recent years, so it's likely we can still get in."
Mingyao stared at the children in a daze, feeling somewhat bored. It was such an irritating illusion. She had been on guard from the beginning, but now, like a frog in boiling water, she no longer had the slightest interest to notice anything strange about this illusion.
"Ah... like this." Mingyao responded weakly.
"Why are you so weak?" Yan Chen noticed her abnormality, turned around and wiped his hands casually, pinched her little face, and looked around, "You're not sick."
Mingyao felt a little pain from her pinching, so he patted her hand and signaled her to let go.
He yawned and changed the subject: "Why hasn't your Xianshu come back yet?"
The subtext is, I really can't stand it anymore if you keep relying on me like this.
"He went down to the Immortal Mountain with Senior Sister Dianqing to subdue monsters. He won't be back for about half a month."
"These days, not only are demons causing chaos, but those rebellious spirits from the Immortal Mountain who were once banished and killed are also committing crimes in the human world and the Immortal Mountain. Naturally, they are very busy dealing with these things."
"By the way, you'd better not run around too much recently. These evil spirits are very aggressive and familiar with the terrain of the Immortal Mountain. They are full of resentment. Many cultivators in the Qi Training Realm have been killed by them. Although you have your magic weapon to protect you, you still have to be careful."
Hearing about the evil spirit that rebelled against the immortal, Mingyao blinked and finally managed to perk up a little. After so many years, is the ordinary daily life finally coming to an end?
She remembered that before she came out, the young monk who told her fortune also mentioned it - betraying the immortals and killing people.
Yan Chen was still talking over there.
"Hey... I heard that these rebellious immortals all went astray in their cultivation, became too obsessed with the devil, and became too obsessed with ascending to heaven, so they rebelled against the immortal mountain."
"Tell me, why bother with this? Ascension is difficult in the first place. Even the mountain master doesn't ascend every generation. According to the records of the Immortal Mountain, the last person to ascend was the previous mountain master and an elder. Most cultivators don't stop at the Golden Core stage. The luckier ones can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. As for the Divine Transformation stage... it's rare."
"Compared to mortals who only have a lifespan of a hundred years, reaching the foundation building stage is already a win. Why force it?"
Mingyao didn't say a word.
She glanced at Yan Chen in front of her without leaving any trace.
Now hearing Yan Chen speak so casually, she knew in advance that in the future Temple of Immortals, she would also become a rebellious immortal and would personally cut off Xian Shu's head.
Mingyao was a little unsure how to respond. Besides, as a human being, one always hopes to make further progress. It's not hard to understand if those rebellious immortals would become possessed by this.
But for her, knowing the future consequences and looking at the present causes, she is still full of doubts.
Perhaps the secret behind Yan Chen becoming a traitorous immortal is the solution to this illusion.
Mingyao decided to keep a close eye on Yan Chen during this period of time.
For several days in a row, she even slept with Yan Chen. Yan Chen was very happy about it. She was a chatterbox and kept talking to Ming Yao all day long.
Mingyao hadn't slept well for several days, and today was no exception.
She kept her eyes open, unable to fall asleep for a long time. She stared at the curtains on the bed, pulled the toad around her neck, and began to think wildly.
In fact, at this point, for her, although her mind and soul are not in good condition, and she is still deeply trapped in the illusion...
But it's not all in vain.
Mingyao turned over and looked at Yan Chen beside him in a daze.
Xuan Hui knew about her connection with Xuanxiu Tianmingren from the beginning, and even imprisoned Chu Ji to force her to tell him her whereabouts. If he wanted to kill her and preserve the power of the fairy mountain, he would have had the opportunity to do it long ago. But he had to wait nearly two hundred years, until she divorced him and her soul left her body, before he found her and took action.
If he and the little ball of light were really in cahoots and had made up a story to make her submit, then they should have taken action when she followed him back to the fairy mountain.
What's the point?
"What are you thinking about so intently?"
As a cultivator, Yan Chen didn't need to sleep like ordinary mortals. He closed his eyes only to regulate his breathing. Being stared at by Ming Yao like this, he couldn't help but want to talk to her.
Perhaps it was because he had spent too long in this illusion, and Yan Chen was unaware of the underlying circumstances, and as if possessed by a strange force, Ming Yao actually asked about the confusion in his heart.
"If you had to kill someone, and their death would benefit you, but you tricked her into coming to you and never did it, what do you think you would want to do that led to this decision?"
This was the first time Mingyao asked her such a detailed question. Yan Chen stopped regulating her breathing, her eyes moving slightly. She squeezed closer to Mingyao, ignoring the assumptions in her words. "It's rare that you are trapped by love. Who is it? I've been with you every day, but I had no idea. Could it be that it was before we met?"
Looking at Yan Chen, who was extremely gossipy and had gleaming eyes, Ming Yao couldn't help but step back. He suddenly missed the gentleness he had felt when they first met.
It was really strange that she would actually ask her this question.
Mingyao was about to wave his hand and skip over the topic.
Yan Chen had already started chatting: "At first he wanted to kill you, but he didn't do it directly, and he even tricked you into coming to him..."
She pondered for a moment and said something shocking: "Mingyao, he likes you!"
The night was like water... Mingyao blinked, startled by what Yan Chen blurted out. She was somewhat speechless: "Impossible."
During the nearly two hundred years in the fairy mountain, Xuan Hui always called Ming Miss and was very distant from her. His motives were not pure from the beginning, and he was ruthless when he attacked Shuangli Town.
Like her?
Haha, Mingyao thought it was quite humorous and added, "Later, he did it again."
"It's a deadly move."
"Ah, so..." The words were blocked, but Yan Chen did not give up quibbling, "Then you are finished... He should be in love with you."
Mingyao laughed out loud this time, then said with a deadpan smile, "This joke isn't funny."
"Who's kidding you?" Yan Chen stared at her, defending his judgment. "Look, at first, this person wanted to kill you, but after catching you, he didn't do it. Is there anything else he can get from you? Your death will only benefit him. Besides the fact that he likes you and has softened his heart towards you, is there any other possibility?"
"As for the subsequent assault... according to you, it was a fatal one. Yet, you're still alive and well. This shows that this person's reason and emotions were at odds, and he ultimately spared your life. After this experience, he probably fell in love with you."
Mingyao felt a buzzing pain in his head.
Forget it, it was her fault for not providing complete information. For Yan Chen, whose mind was now filled with thoughts of dating Xian Shu, it was indeed difficult to come up with a second answer when asked this question suddenly.
Mingyao turned over and prepared to take a nap. The time in the illusion was disordered. Occasionally, when he woke up, it would be decades later. Who knows, waking up might be at a critical juncture.
Unfortunately, Yan Chen was very dissatisfied with her attitude.
He pulled her over with one hand: "Hey, don't sleep, tell me clearly, do you think what I said is wrong?"
Facing these energetic and calculative eyes, Mingyao was actually prepared to nod perfunctorily and pretend to agree with what she said.
but……
The thought that Xuan Hui likes her?
Mingyao got goosebumps all over his body.
Even in this illusion, I still couldn't respond.
After a long silence, Mingyao finally managed to utter, "This is not love."
Yan Chen suddenly became excited: "Then what is it?"
"You and Xianshu, right?" Mingyao answered perfunctorily.
Hearing this, Yan Chen curled his lips proudly: "Of course it is. However, there are many kinds of love. Xianshu and I are childhood sweethearts, and we have been together for a long time. But there are also kinds of love that can be unknowing. Don't rush to deny it."
Mingyao was not good at arguing with others, especially with someone like Yan Chen, who became more and more excited the more he talked. He was even less capable of arguing with him.
Just shut up completely.
Neither agree nor deny.
Yan Chen continued chattering: "Ayao, you have never liked anyone, so you don't know what love is. You will understand if you think about it more."
Mingyao couldn't help but deny it silently in his heart when he heard it.
No, she is not a fool, of course she knows what love is.
No matter what the preferred variant is, or what the objective criteria are, it is only for Mingyao.
If she can feel it, then it means she likes you.
Just like how Ms. Ming stayed up all night watching over her, afraid she would get scars; her slightly old-fashioned father would go on stage with her to perform in kindergarten just because she wanted to; her friend's dog would circle around her feet and wag its tail non-stop...
besides……
Mingyao rubbed the toad magic weapon in his hand. The more he tried to avoid thinking about that person, the clearer that person's appearance became.
And...Miaomiao Immortal Lord.
His face appeared in Mingyao's mind.
He should... maybe... really... like her a little.
The magic weapon in his hand became hot, as if he was holding the hand of Immortal Lord Miaomiao.
He is a person who always does things regardless of the cost. Life and death have become his habits, so he is not constrained in doing other things.
Logically speaking, he should be a completely uncontrollable person, but he handed the method that shackled him into her hands without a second thought, was willingly used by her, and followed her without any knowledge or status.
"Ahyao, you're bullying me."
When Immortal Miaomiao said this, a tiny glimmer flashed in his beautiful fox eyes. There was no smile, but no grievance either.
It just pointed out his situation very directly.
At that time, she was simply feeling guilty and a little remorseful.
Just as Xuanxiu said, she was indeed using him, and it was a direct and naked use.
Suddenly exposed, her suppressed conscience began to rise. At that moment, she only thought that if she could go home, she would make a wooden plaque, engrave his name and birth date on it, and worship it as a token of gratitude.
But now, when Mingyao thought of that beautiful face, he suddenly sensed something else.
If he just wanted to evoke her guilt and apology, he should have been more contrived and seductive when he said this.
Just like that day in the Temple of Immortals.
She left immediately after the first touch, showed off her beauty, and finally revealed a triumphant smile.
But when he said this that day, she didn't notice any extra emotions. He simply brought the matter to the surface and didn't say anything else afterwards.
It was as if he was waiting to be slaughtered, eagerly waiting for her to give him some sweet treat.
The subtext is similar to a prisoner about to be executed, staring at the executioner on the high seat.
"I'm about to die, won't you give me something to eat?"
"You've bullied me, why don't you give me some compensation?"
The more Mingyao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. It was inexplicably cute and funny.
Beside him, Yan Chen was talking until his mouth was dry and he heard no response for a long time, but he heard Ming Yao suddenly laugh.
He paused and turned to look at her.
Before he could protest, a streak of light fell beside Yan Chen from the window.
It is a message from Xianshu.
Without caring about enlightening Mingyao, Yan Chen waved his hand and unfolded the message, which contained only four words.
"Come quickly, your life is in danger."
