85 But, don't give me hope anymore...

Ji Chen slept until the afternoon again. When he woke up, he found that Fu Changgeng was still asleep, so he ignored him and let him continue sleeping.

Anyway, the second round of competition would not start until three days later, so it would be fine even if Fu Changgeng slept for three days.

Ji Chen first went to apologize to Ruan Xiaolu sincerely, and then went to the Temple of the Gods to find Xue Wuxi.

When he went there, he saw that Xue Wuxi was the only one in the inner hall.

"Xiaoxue, where did you go yesterday? I was worried about you all night."

Before he even got close, Ji Chen complained in a blaming tone.

Of course, he didn't really want to blame Xue Wuxi, he was just afraid that Xue Wuxi would do something stupid again.

Xue Wuxi stood on the highest step, with his back to Ji Chen, and didn't turn around.

The long silver hair behind her fell down her back, blending into her snow-white clothes.

"Master, if you don't have that feeling for me, don't say that."

Xue Wuxi's words were filled with endless frost, like black ice that had not melted for thousands of years, extending from the upper level.

Although he didn't think so in his heart at all.

He just felt that he was no longer clean, and there was no need to insist on it.

Anyway, the other party didn't love him, so it's better to just say no and not leave any illusions for himself.

But Ji Chen obviously didn't realize Xue Wuxi's meaning.

He thought Xue Wuxi was being angry, angry that he rejected him so decisively.

Ji Chen really didn't know what to do.

It would be wrong not to refuse and drag it out, and it would also be wrong to refuse decisively.

"Xiaoxue, don't be like this..."

"I said it's okay." Xue Wuxi still didn't turn around, and tried to pretend to be calm: "I don't blame you if you don't love me, and I will still protect you."

"Just, don't give me hope anymore..."

Ji Chen suddenly felt very powerless.

He really didn't have the confidence to refute Xue Wuxi's words.

After a while, Ji Chen asked again: "Then you ascended... Are you going to leave soon?"

"No." Although Xue Wuxi had his back to Ji Chen, he still felt the reluctance in Ji Chen's words.

At that moment, his heart was clenched, and he seemed to be a little shaken, but he still suppressed this throbbing.

"I broke the vow of lust, and the upper realm will no longer want me."

"Lust vow!"

Ji Chen was shocked.

Because the upper realm doesn't really want a person with an unclean body. After all, there are many monks in the lower realm who marry and even have children.

They don't want two kinds of people -

one is a person who kills for no reason.

The other is a person who is ruthless and greedy.

That is, "killing precept" and "lust precept".

Since Xue Wuxi said that he violated the "lust precept", it means that he had sex with someone he didn't like.

Ji Chen's heart sank, and he clenched his fists subconsciously. He finally managed to make a sound, "Who is it?"

"Li Yuan." Xue Wuxi answered truthfully: "Ghost Eye's left protector."

When he heard the name "Li Yuan", Ji Chen was slightly relieved.

Fortunately, it was someone who liked Xue Wuxi.

Of course, whether he really liked her or not is still debatable.

Xue Wuxi didn't want to embarrass Ji Chen, nor did he want him to feel guilty about this, so he had to quickly end this cold topic and move the focus to the main business.

"Master, my cultivation is now at the True Immortal Stage. I won't lose if I fight Ghost Eye head-on."

"But it may just be the same as in the secret realm, where we are evenly matched and end up in a tie."

"To kill him, he still has to enter the Immortal Spirit Realm alone, and we will set up a trap for him, and in the end you will kill him with your own hands."

Ji Chen did not deny it, which was considered as tacit agreement with Xue Wuxi's statement.

But he asked: "How can you be so sure that Gui Tong would come here alone after knowing that you have ascended? He would know that you are setting up a formation and waiting for him to come."

"Because, I know him."

"He will definitely come, and he will come to torture you and embarrass you in public."

Xue Wuxi knew very well in her heart how much Gui Tong liked Ji Chen.

The stronger the possessiveness, the stronger the hatred.

And excessive hatred will make a person lose all reason, not only become crazy, but also become extremely stubborn.

It is precisely because the two have always known each other's feelings for Ji Chen that they have never been able to live in peace and fight each other when they meet.

They even fought for five hundred years...

But there will never be a winner in this dispute.

Because who will win in the end does not depend on who can kill whom.

It just depends on who Ji Chen chooses in the end.

Xue Wuxi knew that he had already lost before he even started fighting, and he lost completely.

But he would never let Gui Tong win.

That's why he gave Ji Chen that vicious hint, so that whenever Ji Chen thought of his relationship with Gui Tong,

he would be filled with anger and hatred. Guilt, or even the so-called love, were all sealed in the abyss of his heart, never to see the light of day.

Unless he died.

Otherwise, the hint of hatred will always exist.

The seal can never be lifted.

He has never done anything bad in his life, and even spent most of his time thinking and considering others.

He did something that he despised, even if it would kill many people, or even cost him his life.

Just for this reason, maybe he is not worthy of being listed in the immortal list...

So it has nothing to do with breaking the taboo.

He kept saying "protection".

In the end, it was nothing but selfishness.

*

Coming out of the Temple of the Gods, the sunlight outside was dazzlingly bright.

But Ji Chen felt that the sky was gloomy, and the low air pressure made it hard for him to breathe.

Just now, Xue Wuxi told him clearly all his plans for the future. Xue Wuxi

did not intend to dismiss all the disciples and terminate the disciple competition.

Instead, the disciple competition should continue, but the eliminated disciples would not be allowed to stay in Suixing Mountain.

In this way, it would not cause panic, and it would also allow the less powerful disciples to retreat first to avoid losing their lives for no reason.

But Ji Chen saw through his thoughts. He was afraid that if all the disciples left, Gui Tong would not come.

Or maybe he had other ideas.

But all in all, this decision was not wise.

Before he ascended, he was still a little afraid that Gui Tong would harm the disciples of the Immortal Sect, and he also said that the competition would be cancelled.

Now that he has ascended, it is unknown whether he is sure that he can kill Ghost Eye, or if he really does not care about the lives of those innocent people.

The seventy-one elders and the head of the sect are fine. Since they have taken that position, they should sacrifice their lives for the Immortal Sect.

But the disciples of the Immortal Sect are obviously just cannon fodder.

But Xue Wuxi insisted on doing it, and Ji Chen could not stop him.

He was not the organizer of this competition.

Besides, "Nian Chen" was still in Xue Wuxi's hands.

All the disciples of the sect came for this tempting reward, and even squeezed their heads to get "Nian Chen".

But they did not expect that the harder they tried, the more they sent themselves into the fire pit.

This made Ji Chen think of the previous time when he was in the second floor of the secret realm. It was the same.

They all tried their best to go to the third floor and monopolize the secret treasures on the third floor.

In the end, the people who went to the third floor had a worse fate than the last.
