Time passed, and soon it was the time that Senior Brother Bingling had agreed with them.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao stood quietly on the abandoned mountain peak. The breeze blew gently, slightly lifting the corners of their clothes.
They waited in this somewhat deserted place for a while, and then they saw a figure coming from a distance. That figure was Luo Shan Bingling.
In his hand, he held a purple-black crystal-like object, which emitted a mysterious and dark light under the sunlight.
Luo Shan Bing Ling came up to them, revealing a slightly apologetic expression. He said softly, "I have other things to do, so I'll cut to the chase."
Gu Qingze smiled, looking very understanding, and said, "It's okay, Senior Brother Bingling, I like to keep things short, it's more efficient that way."
Luo Shan Bingling also smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.
"Well, I'll be frank. I came to see Junior Brother Gu to get a definitive answer. Is what you brought back really the 'Three Lives Flower'?"
Gu Qingze nodded, his eyes firm: "If it's true, even if Senior Brother Bingling doesn't trust me, you have to believe in the Heavenly Dao Contract."
"Since the mark of the Heavenly Dao Contract on us has been eliminated after the transaction, it proves that what I gave you is truly the 'Three Lives Flower'."
"The Heavenly Dao Contract is the highest level of contract. It is fair and will not deceive anyone, nor will it favor anyone. Once it is established, it must be strictly enforced. It can only be eliminated after completion."
"Brother Bingling, I believe you know much more about this than I do."
When Luo Shan Bingling heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He held the purple-black crystal, and suddenly his tears seemed to be uncontrollable. Like pearls that had broken off the string, they rolled down his cheeks one by one and dripped onto the crystal.
Those tears seemed to carry endless regret and sadness, which made people feel pity.
"If the 'Three Lives Flower' is real, then why...why did it become like this? Everything was going smoothly in the early stages...Ayue's soul was even summoned back. I thought..."
As he spoke, he almost broke down in tears, his body trembling slightly, as if he could not accept the reality before him.
He held the crystal carefully and sobbed, "Why did Ayue's soul become like this after fusing with the 'Three Life Flower'?"
"Ayue...will he never come back...are all the legends false...'Three Life Flower' doesn't have the power to revive the dead..."
"...I am the one who is sorry for Ayue....From the beginning to the end..."
"Back then...if it weren't for me, Ayue wouldn't have died...but now...even Ayue's soul has been twisted..."
"Ayue couldn't even keep his pure soul... He couldn't even have an afterlife... All of this is caused by me... I am a sinner... I am the one who let him down..."
Gu Qingze felt very uncomfortable seeing him like this. His heart seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock, heavy and depressing.
He wanted to pat his shoulder and give him some comfort, but he felt it would be better to let him vent his emotions.
There is no point in him saying more now. As long as it cannot solve the current problem, everything he says is nonsense. To Senior Brother Bing Ling, it is just noise.
Chu Lingxiao saw this, but didn't say anything or show any emotion. Instead, he offered a guess: "Brother Bingling is saying that everything went smoothly in the early stages. They even summoned Ayue's soul back. This means there are no problems in the early stages."
"But after being summoned back and coming into contact with the 'Three Lives Flower', it turned into this crystal. Is there a possibility? I'm just saying it's a possibility, I can't guarantee it's true..."
"If you inject something into this crystal through some method and then nurture it to a certain degree, maybe your A-Yue will come back."
Luo Shan Bingling, who was crying, was stunned when she heard this, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
He was also anxious and confused, and didn't think too much about it, but now that there was a glimmer of hope, he had to give it a try.
"Brother Bingling, aren't you very close to the Sect Leader? As the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect, he must be very knowledgeable. Perhaps he can offer you some advice."
Luo Shan Bingling shook her head, with a hint of helplessness and despair in her action.
"He strongly disapproves of my insistence on resurrecting A-Yue and there's no way he'd help me."
Chu Lingxiao shook his head: "Sometimes, those involved are confused while those who are watching can see things more clearly. From my perspective, the Sect Leader loves you very much and treats you like his own child."
"Think about it. If he didn't approve, with his abilities, he couldn't have been unaware of what you were doing behind my back. So why didn't he stop it? It must be because he loves you that he condones your actions."
"The headmaster loves me, so he acquiesced to my act of saving Ayue..." Luo Shan Bingling murmured to herself, with a hint of confusion in her voice, "Then I'll give it a try..."
Before leaving, Luo Shan Bing Ling suddenly thought of a question and turned around and asked:
"As far as I know, the Sect Master rarely sees his disciples. Junior Brother Chu, you haven't met the Sect Master alone, right? And why do you seem so familiar with my affairs..."
Chu Lingxiao interrupted him, winked at him, and then smiled mysteriously:
"Brother Bingling, everyone has secrets. There's no need to dig into them. Isn't the most urgent task right now to save your Ayue?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Shan Bing Ling nodded without hesitation: "That's true. Goodbye, my two junior brothers."
Watching Luo Shan Bing Ling's departing figures, Gu Qingze asked curiously, "Ling Xiao, how did you come up with that assumption that Senior Brother Bing Ling's lover could return?"
Chu Lingxiao smiled, a hint of cunning in his smile: "Many types of books say this, and I'm just making an assumption, so it's not true. But I still want to give him some hope. Otherwise, he'll cry his eyes out in front of me, which is really uncomfortable."
Gu Qingze approached him and put his arm around his shoulders, his gesture carrying a hint of intimacy: "I think it's not just that. Ling Xiao is willing to expose his own abilities to help Senior Brother Bing Ling..."
Chu Lingxiao raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of indifference and carefreeness in his action: "Whatever you think, I don't care."
