Ling Yunpo fell to the ground, the feeling of being on the verge of death constantly coming to his mind.

Even though I knew it was an illusion, it still felt bad.

Fortunately, he was born with sword bones, which could support this false, terrifying and helpless feeling of dying.

Looking at Senior Sister An next to her, she had already fainted and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

As for the Long-browed Immortal, after testing and killing two people under the arrangement of the illusion, he disappeared directly into the stone chamber.

"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Kunlun Mirror suddenly said.

"Listen to the bad news first." Ling Yunpo said without hesitation.

"Why do you hear the bad news first?" Qingping Jian asked curiously.

"Because if you hear the good news first, then the bad news might be 'the good news is actually false'." Ling Yunpo replied.

Kunlun Mirror: ...

Qing Ping Sword: ...

Yijing and Yijian both had the urge to pull his ears and complain: Who do you think would be as boring as you imagine!

"The bad news is," Kunlun Jing said calmly, "you can't cultivate the Love Flow this way."

"Even before entering the cave, ordinary monks have expected the illusion inside, but this illusion is like a dream. As long as you have the slightest hesitation in your heart, 'Can this be true?', you will immediately fall asleep in a dream."

"As for people in dreams, you know that even if they notice that the surroundings are very strange, it is difficult for them to realize that they are dreaming. Only in this way can the illusion of asking the heart be effective."

"So?" Ling Yunpo frowned and asked, "Because I was not shaken at all, the illusion had no effect on me? Then why did I come in and act out this scene with Senior Sister An?"

"Isn't it to win the favor of senior sister and test her sincerity?" Kunlun Jing asked in surprise.

"Of course not!" Ling Yunpo said righteously, "How could I have such bad intentions towards Senior Sister? It's just that I have to come here because I have to examine my conscience as the Sword Immortal of Shushan."

"Congratulations, you have learned to ask and answer your own questions." Kunlun Mirror said with a smile.

"What I mean is," Ling Yunpo did not feel embarrassed and just corrected, "Although it was just to go through the procedure, you reminded me in advance that this was an illusion, which resulted in this trip being of no benefit to me at all. Shouldn't you explain something?"

"How could that be?" Kunlun Jing pretended to be puzzled, "Didn't you win the heart of Senior Sister?"

"I'm talking about strength! Is it good to improve your strength?" Ling Yunpo frowned secretly, wondering when did this Broken Mirror become so sharp-tongued?

Damn it! It's disgusting!

"Forget it." Ling Yunpo changed the subject, "So what's the good news?"

"The good news is, ding dong!" Kunlun Mirror said with a smile, "Your Senior Sister An has successfully examined her heart and embarked on the path of the Questioning of Love Stream!"

Lingyunpo: ...

So I'm the only one who got nothing, right?

"Of course not." Kunlun Jing said patiently, "First of all, the reason why we need to examine our conscience before and after forming the elixir is mainly because the Shushan sword immortals have been obsessed with swordsmanship for many years. Their personalities are often simple and prone to paranoia, which gives the demons an opportunity to take advantage of them. Examining one's conscience is to make the heart of Tao purer."

"But you are not a normal Shushan Sword Immortal! Your main Qi-refining technique is the 'Nine Heavens Pure Land True Words', and you have Qiu Changtian's Dao Heart Clearness to switch to, so you don't have to worry about the invasion of the demons, right?"

"What you said makes some sense." Ling Yunpo nodded and said, "But it's not enough to convince me. Why can't I practice the Questioning Love Flow?"

"Secondly, the Questioning Love Flow itself is both a help and a constraint." Kunlun Jing said seriously, "To master the Questioning Love Flow, to some extent, it also means being trapped by love."

"Think about it, if what happened just now was not an illusion but real, would you sacrifice yourself in exchange for Senior Sister An's life?"

"I..." Ling Yun opened his mouth.

It’s not that he can’t, but he is very rationally aware that some decisions can only be made under specific circumstances to confirm whether he can make them.

It is just like countless couples who firmly believe from the bottom of their hearts that they will protect each other, but when disaster strikes, abandoning each other and running away is their instinctive choice.

At this moment, Ling Yunpo had not really encountered a dangerous situation where he needed to "sacrifice himself to save his senior sister", so naturally he could not say that he would definitely save his senior sister - even if he said it with a solemn oath, both A Jing and himself knew that he was lying.

"I understand." Ling Yunpo sighed and said, "If I really cultivate the Asking Love Flow, it means that Senior Sister An is more important in my heart than saving the world and mending the sky. This is something you absolutely don't want to happen, right, A Jing?"

Kunlun Mirror was silent for a moment, then said:

"No, it's just that I feel that you, right now, may not be able to cultivate the Love Flow in the illusion."

"Do you think I'm not sincere to Senior Sister An?" Ling Yunpo sneered.

"Maybe." Kunlun Jing sighed and said, "What about the others? Junior Sister Xu, Miss Shi... Are you sincere to them too? Do you want to claim that you can truly love so many people at the same time?"

"Don't forget that you always wore a mask when you were with them, and you finally decided to abandon those masks and your feelings for them, right?"

Ling Yun broke the silence.

"Ah, the illusion is about to continue." Seeing that he was speechless, Kunlun Mirror reminded him, "Because you haven't cultivated the Questioning Flow yet, it will use more powerful means to force you into a more complicated dream... Do you want to continue cultivating the Questioning Flow, or let me help you break this illusion?"

"Interrupt it." Ling Yunpo sighed and said, "You are right, A Jing."

"Now Senior Sister An's feelings for me are far greater than my feelings for her - I have some selfish motives after all. If it is precisely because of this that I fail to cultivate the Love Flow in the illusion and instead cultivate some other school, wouldn't that be a complete betrayal of my feelings for Senior Sister?"

"I'd better wait until I really think it through before I come to this cave to ask questions."

"Well then." Kunlun Jing laughed, "I can make some minor changes to Ling Yunpo's character template, so they will think you have practiced the Wenqing Flow."

"Yes." Ling Yunpo nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Mirror flowers and water moons, shining silently on the void!" Kunlun Mirror shouted in a low voice, "Break it for me!"

The illusion finally collapsed, and Ling Yunpo found himself holding An Zhisu, lying on the cold, hard ground.

Senior sister's soft body lay in his arms, tightly holding his right hand, as if holding everything in her life.

Ling Yunpo stared at her face for a long time, his expression lost and confused.

"I'm really surprised." Qing Ping Jian whispered in his sea of ​​consciousness, "I didn't expect him to admit that he didn't face these feelings at all. So what he said about running away after repairing the sky was actually all false?"

"Not really." Kunlun Jing said in a low voice, "He just hasn't made up his mind."

"I don't know if he can really cultivate the Love Flow if he continues to dream in the Heart-Searching Illusion. But think about it, if he fails, what will happen to Senior Sister An? If he succeeds, what will happen to the other girls? If he searches his heart without recognizing his own heart, he will definitely hurt himself."

"It's really difficult." Qing Ping Sword commented, "Why do you think there are only three schools of thought? Whether it's being heartless, forgetting feelings, or asking about feelings, none of them are obviously suitable for him."

"you mean?"

"I'm just giving an analogy... How about the sentimental style?"
