Chapter 102 Chapter 102 “You said you loved him like your life…
The line of words quickly disappeared, and Bai Su met Chen Qian's gaze.
At that moment, he couldn't help but tremble from head to toe. The instinct trained by years of licking blood on the tip of a knife was screaming at him for danger. However, under the overwhelming pressure from Shen Qian, he found that his body seemed to have become that of another person, unable to move at all.
That pressure was very familiar. Not long ago, the Demon Lord's Palace collapsed at night, and it was this aura that seemed to destroy the world that stirred the sky at that time.
That day, Yao Ning stood in front of him, and Chen Qian was cautious and cautious, so he was able to save his life.
But today I am alone here.
Bai Su's Adam's apple moved and he swallowed.
Just as he was thinking about how to abandon his body to preserve his soul, the pressure suddenly disappeared.
Chen Qian didn't look at him again and turned away.
Bai Su looked at his back and couldn't believe for a long time that he had escaped so easily. Compared to joy, his heart was filled with more doubts.
Yao Ning walked through the Yunzhan corridor, followed by Adu.
"You're mentally unstable," Adu said. "Can you really lead the demon world like this?"
"Are you questioning me?" Yao Ning's words were impolite, but his tone was not harsh.
Adu frowned: "Is it because of Shen Qian? Did you go out and see him just now?"
Yao Ning paused slightly, and Adu keenly noticed her abnormality and immediately confirmed his guess: "Do you know what time it is now? The entire demon world, and even the cultivation world, is in your hands."
Yao Ning was silent for a while, looking ahead expressionlessly, and after a while he said, "You're mistaken."
Adu: "Now is not the time to deceive ourselves!"
Yao Ning paused and turned to Adu: "Do you think I look restless and trapped in love?"
Adu choked and was about to say something, but when he saw Yao Ning's eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
Yao Ning was too calm, as if she was not the one who had threatened to take someone's life in public in Tai Shi Hall just now.
Adu saw clearly that her calmness was not a disguise or suppression, but more like extreme indifference, and she didn't care about anything.
Yao Ning said: "Chen Qian is not that important."
Someone paused at the corner, and Wang Mianzhi bumped his head against Shen Qian's back. He rubbed his forehead and was about to speak when he heard Yao Ning's words from not far away. His face changed immediately, and he hurriedly looked at his brother, but saw that Shen Qian's face was as calm as a lake, and he didn't seem to care.
"Do you know what you are saying?" Adu asked cautiously, "Do you believe these words?"
"why not?"
"Others may not know how much you care about Chen Qian, but unfortunately, the Sect Master and Senior Sister Chu both told me." A-Du said, "You ventured into the ancient secret realm alone, risking your life for him, marrying him with all your heart, and leaving for the demon world because of his words... And Bai Su, don't tell me you slept with Bai Su because you fell in love with him."
Yao Ning was silent for a long time before he said, "Song Qingyun is Chen Qian's mother."
This sentence was abrupt and strange. A-Du frowned and said, "What?"
Yao Ning said: "Song Qingyun is Shen Qian's mother, why don't all of you care about this?"
Ah Du didn't understand: "So what if I care?"
"Song Qingyun can deceive the mind." Yao Ning said, "Chen Qian is her son, and he is extremely talented. If he learns to deceive the mind, he will be ten times stronger than Meng Yaoguang."
Wang Mianzhi felt that Chen Qian's figure in front of him seemed to shake, so he hurried forward to support him, but saw that Chen Qian's face was still as usual, his eyes as calm as an ancient well, but his face was slightly pale.
A'Du suddenly grabbed Yao Ning's arm with such force that Yao Ning couldn't help but frown. A'Du said, "Do you know what you are saying? Even if the relationship between you two is over now, you can't completely deny the past. You are insulting Chen Qian and even more so yourself by saying this!"
Yao Ning looked at Adu, his eyes calm and empty, as if he didn't understand why the person in front of him was angry.
"It's just a guess." After a while, Yao Ning pried open Adu's hand and said, "Do you think Shang Linran will be eclipsed one day?"
Adu was stunned, and couldn't help but think about what Yao Ning said, but found that he couldn't imagine Shang Linran's gloomy look.
But she soon found out that something was wrong. The focus of Yao Ning's words was not Shang Linran, but Chen Qian.
"You..." Adu found herself in a dilemma. She hoped that Yao Ning would give up on Shen Qian so that she could remain calm and not give the enemy any chance to take advantage of her. But at the same time, she was afraid that Yao Ning would completely deny the past, as if all her years of devotion were just a joke that she had gently exposed. "Don't say those angry words. When all this is over, there's still time for you and him..."
"No more." Yao Ning shook his head. "Even if everything ends and we all survive, there is no time left."
Sadness appeared on Adu's face. She didn't know whether to pity Chen Qian or Yao Ning, or the fate that had teased them for so many years.
"Adu." Yao Ning slowly opened her mouth, saying what she didn't want to hear, "The Chen Qian standing in front of me has dimmed. We can't wait for the end. Perhaps it was all a dream woven by my mind from the beginning, trapping me and also tying him down."
Ah Du couldn't believe it: "You said you loved him like your life, was it just because of confusion?"
Yao Ning was silent for a long time, as if she was thinking or reminiscing. In the end, her answer was not absolute. It did not sound like she was speaking in anger, but it revealed a sense of indifference as if it did not matter.
"Perhaps."
Adu felt that if Chen Qian heard these words at this moment, it might make him feel even more miserable than Yao Ning's firm affirmation.
*
The righteous side, led by Chen Qian, and the demon world, led by Yao Ning, temporarily formed an alliance to jointly attack the Tianji Pavilion.
The journey was smooth.
After entering the Tianji Pavilion, everyone went straight in without encountering any obstructions, but no one felt relieved. On the contrary, everyone's heart was in their throat, always on guard against possible sudden attacks or unintentional confusion.
Wang Mianzhi was so nervous that he wiped the sweat off his face again and again. He looked up at Chen Qian in front of him, only to see that Chen Qian was as calm as ever, as if he was not in a dangerous place, but just strolling in his own garden.
Wang Mianzhi shifted his gaze and looked at Yao Ning on the other side.
His attitude towards Yao Ning was very complicated, so complicated that he couldn't tell whether he was more afraid of him or more disgusted with him.
At this moment, for some reason, Yao Ning's words from the Xuanqing Sect Cloud Stacker kept echoing in Wang Mianzhi's nervous mind.
She said that the problem between her and Shen Qian was because of confusion.
She said Shen Qian was eclipsed in her heart.
Wang Mianzhi doesn't like Yao Ning. He has secretly hoped that Chen Qian and Yao Ning will break up more than once, and he can't stand anyone saying anything bad about his brother.
Chen Qian, the leader of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, became so dispirited and miserable for Yao Ning that Wang Mianzhi could not understand why.
That day, Chen returned to Xuanqing Sect alone. He was covered in blood and both arms were missing. Everyone who saw him was in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
When Wang Mianzhi learned that Shen Qian's arm was cut off by Yao Ning again, his eyes turned red with hatred. He picked up the sword on the spot and went to find Yao Ning to settle the score.
Even when Chen Qian was close to coma, he always protected Yao Ning.
He said that the fault was his and he did not blame Yao Ning.
Wang Mianzhi covered his forehead, feeling a surge of irritation in his heart. He stared at Yao Ning's back, and without knowing when, he walked to her side.
"Sister-in-law."
Yao Ning glanced at him and didn't answer.
"Sister-in-law, I heard everything you said." Wang Mianzhi said gloomily.
Yao Ning looked at him strangely but didn't say anything.
"You said you fell in love with my brother because of delusion. Isn't that nonsense?" Wang Mianzhi said indignantly. "With his family background, appearance and cultivation, there's no need for delusion. Don't you know how many women are attracted to him?"
Yao Ning frowned, feeling that something was wrong with Wang Mianzhi.
Even if he had complaints, now was not the time. No matter how much Wang Mianzhi acted recklessly, he still had a sense of the overall situation.
Wang Mianzhi also felt that he was wrong. He was in turmoil just now, and then the anger in his heart seemed to be magnified several times at once, so that he was furious and had to vent it out.
"In terms of family background, you are just the daughter of a poor family. Your parents are both ordinary people. Not to mention Meng Yaoguang, you are not even as good as Senior Sister Chu."
Chu Liangxiu on the side glanced at Wang Mianzhi. Because his words were too abrupt and strange, no one spoke out to stop him.
"In terms of bloodline, you are of humble origin and have no bloodline to speak of, let alone good fortune and the favor of heaven."
"In terms of appearance..." Wang Mianzhi paused, his face twisted for a moment, and simply skipped this question. "In terms of family background..."
"Encourage him." Chen Qian's clear and smooth voice sounded, with a hint of fatigue, "Come here."
Wang Mianzhi was stunned for a moment, as if he was still unsatisfied, and glared at Yao Ning angrily.
Yao Ning observed him meaningfully for a moment, then said casually, "You make sense."
Wang Mianzhi was very proud: "You are so lucky to marry my brother..."
"Try your best!" Chen Qian shouted sternly.
Wang Mianzhi shuddered, his eyes became clearer, he looked around, and walked back with a puzzled look on his face.
Chen Qian kept staring at Wang Mianzhi, staring at him until he was dejected and went back to his seat obediently. Then his gaze paused, and he trembled and timidly moved towards Yao Ning.
Yao Ning didn't even look at him and had already walked away.
Shen Qian paused for a moment, then continued walking forward with a normal expression.
When they finally stood in front of Chen Ying in the main hall of Tianji Pavilion, everyone was a little dazed for a moment. They didn't expect that after being on high alert all the way, they could see Chen Ying so easily.
In the center of the upper room stands a throne made of pure gold, which shines brightly under the candlelight, looking magnificent and noble.
Chen Ying sat on the chair next to the golden throne.
She was wearing a red dress as gorgeous as the morning glow, and had a face as beautiful as a dew-covered petal.
When everyone finally saw her appearance clearly, countless eyes fell on Shen Qian's face opposite her.
Those were two similar faces. They were blood relatives who had been separated by death for many years, but now they were also irreconcilable enemies.
Shen Qian didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face became paler.
The crowd fell strangely silent. What was they supposed to do in this situation? Chen Ying was the only one on the other side. If they all joined forces and attacked, wouldn't the battle be over in an instant?
Why didn't Chen Qian and Yao Ning move?
By the way, the two of them, Chen Qian and Chen Ying are mother and son, and Yao Ning and Shen Qian are husband and wife.
Even though he had already made his position clear and explained his strength, when it came to this, could he really just urge the two people in front of him: "What are you dithering for? Why don't you just kill your mother?!"
The scene was eerily quiet for a moment.
After a while, it was Chen Ying who broke the silence first: "Everyone, thank you for waiting."
Yao Ning and Chen Qian did not respond to this sentence. Everyone looked at each other with different expressions, not knowing how to respond.
Chu Liangxiu was completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere. He had been studying the glittering golden throne. Now he asked curiously, "What kind of seat is that? Why aren't you sitting there?"
Chen Ying glanced at Chu Liangxiu thoughtfully, his expression very satisfied, and replied in a good-tempered manner, "That is the position of the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion."
Then she said something that no one expected: "I am only the Acting Pavilion Master. I have no right to sit there."
Chu Liangxiu asked, "What about the real Pavilion Master?"
Chen Ying smiled, slowly stood up, and walked down under the opposite side's instantly alert gaze as if facing a great enemy.
The hem of her skirt fell to the ground, and the gold thread of her embroidery shone brightly under the candlelight.
Chen Ying walked over, but did not go to his son Chen Qian. Instead, unexpectedly, he walked to Yao Ning.
Then she leaned slightly towards Yao Ning, with a respectful look and her lips parted.
"Welcome to the Pavilion Master's seat."
