Ling Yunpo often wondered whether the relationship between him and An Zhisu was just a casual affair.

If not, then were the countless affectionate interactions in the past, as well as An Zhisu's almost unlimited trust, tolerance and dependence on him, all fake?

If that was the case, how could he explain that he was a traitor and would betray Shushan sooner or later, and An Zhisu never knew this?

This involves a more difficult and essential question:

What exactly do you want?

If you still aim to collect all the Heaven-Buying Stones, you should avoid putting yourself in unnecessary danger.

What is an "unnecessary" danger? Even if he returned to the Shushan execution ground, even if he had a first-grade golden elixir, many immortal-level secrets, and no matter how extraordinary his sword-controlling skills were, facing the numerous Yuanying elders of Shushan and the long-browed immortal holding the Liangyi Microdust Sword, he would basically be slapped to death, no matter what.

This is an unnecessary danger! Chen Guanshui, what will happen if you go back?

If An Zhisu is really going to be sentenced to death, you will just go to hell with her if you go back;

But if Shushan had no intention of punishing An Zhisu, then the result would be the same whether you go back or not.

A Jing is right. There is nothing I can do when I go back. I might as well seal up the small account on Shushan's side temporarily and wait and see how Shushan will deal with Senior Sister An.

but……

However, if Shushan really intends to...

Hiding in the cave, Ling Yunpo pulled his hair angrily, and bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes.

He looked outside the cave with a stiff expression and dull eyes, like a wild beast struggling in vain in the mud.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, A Jing and Qing Ping Jian looked at each other in silence.

Yijingyijian naturally agreed with Lingyunpo's analysis of the situation.

What will happen to An Zhisu in the end depends on Shushan's true attitude towards her. The possibility of it being related to whether Ling Yunpo chooses to go back to save her is probably less than 0.1%.

If you don't believe it, just ask yourself, can a thousand Ling Yunpo gather together to rescue Senior Sister An from Shushan?

Even if ten thousand Lingyunpo were tied together, they would not be able to withstand even one move from the Changmei Immortal!

It would be useless to save him or not. Jin Dan's cultivation level was too weak. Facing a behemoth like the Shangqing Sect of Mount Shu, he was like a mantis trying to stop the wheel from moving forward.

If you were to act purely rationally, you should choose not to go back to save him.

This way, if Shushan really wants to kill An Zhisu, Ling Yunpo will at least not die with him.

However, if Ling Yunpo could really think rationally, he would not have been struggling here for so long.

Since he was conflicted, whether he admitted it or not, deep down in his heart he longed to save Senior Sister An - even if he couldn't convince himself logically.

"Watching the water." Kunlun Jing sighed and said, "Or we can switch to other small accounts and find out what Shushan's attitude is in the future. How about that? It's not a solution for you to sit here and worry about it."

"What if other alts go and find out that Shushan has executed Senior Sister? What should we do?" Ling Yunpo said indifferently, "It's too late now."

His voice was a little hoarse, which made Kunlun Jing very reluctant, so she was silent for a long time and asked:

"Guan Shui, you actually..."

"…You've fallen in love with An Zhisu, right?"

At that moment, Ling Yunpo's figure suddenly froze.

Before his identity was exposed, he could chat with Ah Jing, saying how could I not love Senior Sister An with her big breasts, thin waist and long legs, and that he knew he was a disciple of Qingluo Peak from the first moment he saw Senior Sister An... But those were just sweet words to fool people.

If you really fall in love with her, how will you face her after you brazenly try to seize the Sky-Budding Stone and really betray the Shushan Shangqing Sect?

Let Sister An face the pain and despair of being deceived and betrayed. Is this what you call "loving her"? It's really touching.

To a certain extent, the serious crisis brought about by Elder Minghua this time only brought forward the future crisis, allowing Ling Yunpo to bear the psychological torture he deserved first.

"How about that." Kunlun Jing said slowly, as if she was making a very difficult decision, so much so that her voice was trembling a little, "How about that, let's forget about trying to seize the Heaven-Repairing Stone."

"As for you, continue to be the Shushan Sword Immortal Lingyunpo. I will find a host to start over. This will prevent you from betraying Shushan and parting with your beloved senior sister. It will make me seem like an evil magic weapon to torture the host..."

"I don't know." Ling Yunpo answered in a low voice.

"Ah?" Kunlun Mirror asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Ling Yunpo looked at the messy sand on the ground and repeated, "I don't know if I fell in love with her."

Of course. Kunlun Jing suddenly remembered that this guy had no way to prove the flow of love when he was in the heart-searching cave in Shushan.

Of course he would play along, he was the best at it anyway. He could hug Xu Yinglian, Shi Liuli and Jiang Li and secretly call them "wife", he could say to Longhu "I will protect you forever", but he never said the three words "I love you" to any of them.

Maybe he felt it was being pretentious, maybe he was afraid of revealing his flaws, or maybe he simply couldn't say it out loud, who knows?

Maybe he himself doesn't know the answer...

Kunlun Mirror was thinking like a madman, and suddenly heard Qingping Sword sigh and say:

"Master Sword Master, sometimes, acting on instinct may not be the right thing to do."

"It's like a mother with her child facing a wolf. Even if she bravely rushes forward to fight the wolf, it will only result in one death and two lives. It's better to leave the child behind and run away. The wolf will be busy eating the child and won't come after the mother, right?"

"Hey! That's enough!" Kunlun Jing was so upset that he interrupted it and said, "If you don't know how to talk, you can say less!"

"But." Qing Ping Jian chuckled, "Ah, after all, humans are such stupid creatures. They know that hiding is the best option, but when it comes to the critical moment, they still rush out in a fit of anger."

"Master Sword Master, you are not such a fool, right?"

Ling Yunpo did not answer, but continued to look down at the ground.

A few ants moved forward on the soft sand, their steps steady and without hesitation, as if they would never get tangled or hesitate, quickly leaving the shadow and crawling into the sunlight outside the cave.

Sunlight……

Oh, it's almost time...

Ling Yunpo suddenly stood up with his sword in hand and walked out of the cave.

The hem of his clothes was still stained with sand from the ground, and his hair was messy and covered with dew from the dust in the cave, but he did not hesitate and stepped into the scorching sunshine outside.

"Master Sword Master?" Qingping Sword asked in surprise.

"I'll go save her." Ling Yunpo replied.

"But you can't fight against the entire Shushan." Qingping Sword seemed a little regretful and said with emotion, "Without Yaoyao and I helping you, you would just be going to die."

"Yeah." Ling Yun broke the silence for a moment, "I know."

"…But just as you said, in this world…there are things that are more unacceptable than death, and there are fools like me who are not afraid of death…"
