What is the name of one character (20)
"Why is it you? What kind of evil trick did you use? You clearly... you clearly..."
"How was I before?" Li Zhaoyue asked.
Her eyes were cold, and in a trance, Lou Yao actually thought of Xu Xing's eyes.
"Lou Yao," this was the first time Li Zhaoyue called her by her full name, "Why?"
As she asked this, the coldness in her eyes briefly vanished, replaced by confusion. Lou Yao looked at her with disgust and shrilled, "Don't you understand? Why are you so lucky? We're all disciples of Yi Zi Yuan, all human beings. Why is it that you always take away what I want?"
"I stole her away?" Li Zhaoyue looked at Lou Yao as if he was meeting her for the first time and asked back.
That look again. Lou Yao clenched her fists frantically.
"I want a better life, what's wrong with that? You have a master and brothers who love you, and even before the accident, everyone liked and respected you. What's wrong with me wanting to be like you?"
"The candied haws you gave me earlier were ones you didn't want. You deliberately helped me pick up herbs in medical school, but people looked at me like that. You thought you were helping me, but you never considered other people's feelings!"
As she shouted, she suddenly choked up.
"Did you have a bad life before?" Li Zhaoyue suddenly asked.
Lou Yao seemed to have been poked by something and stopped talking timidly.
"You always envy others and think that everything about them is better than yours. My kindness towards you is also misinterpreted as showing off. Don't you really realize who is the problem?" Li Zhaoyue questioned.
The Sword of the First Sun hovered at her side, sending flying anyone who tried to attack from behind. Amidst the rising dust, her eyes, clear and bright, gazed at Lou Yao with pity. "The Lou family was a prominent family before this incident. From what I understand, you were doted on at home. Your parents treated you like the apple of their eye and were completely obedient to you. You wanted to come to Yiziyuan, and they begged and pleaded with the head of the family for an opportunity. But you're a spoiled young lady, too vulnerable to hardship. You arrived soon after and insisted on going back. Your elderly parents had no choice but to go back to the head of the family, but the Lou family was struggling at the time, so who would care about such an unreasonable request?"
Li Zhaoyue's eyes were filled with envy: "You have such a warm family, yet you are so greedy and always want to steal other people's lives. Isn't that ridiculous?"
"Nonsense! They are not motivated enough and have no future! Why can other people decide their own lives at will, but I can't?" Lou Yao's eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"And Xu Xing, and even Xie Feng, why do they like you so much even though you are a waste?!" Lou Yao's eyes were full of tears.
"Do you really like Xu Xing?" Li Zhaoyue asked her coldly.
Lou Yao paused in her sobbing, then looked away unnaturally, stammering, "He, he, I have nothing to do with him. He's an evil cultivator who killed people..."
Li Zhaoyue stared at her and suddenly smiled weakly: "Whether it's Xu Xing or Afeng, you only like the glory and reputation surrounding them. You don't like them at all. You just love yourself more than usual."
"No! You're lying!" Lou Yao was still screaming. Li Zhaoyue looked at her quietly and sighed.
"I don't have the power to decide your life or death, but I won't let you go so easily." She clasped her hands together, recalling the scene that just flashed through her mind, and quickly drew a talisman.
Meanwhile, Hua Shangguan, who was discussing the Zhu Ming incident in Mingyue Palace, noticed something was amiss. The sealed book suddenly began to flip uncontrollably, and the talisman on one page suddenly disappeared.
"This...what does this mean?" Feng Ran pointed at the sealed book that was flipping through the pages and asked in surprise.
"No! My spell! No!" Hua Shangguan looked at the sealed book in horror as it slowly became blank. He shouted and tried to forcibly cast a spell to close it. This made the pages turn faster, and in the blink of an eye, the entire sealed book turned blank.
The last bit of divine power was also drained away, and Hua Shangguan fell to his knees in full view of everyone.
The talisman gradually took shape. Following his memory, Li Zhaoyue placed the floating handwriting on Lou Yao's forehead. A strange thing happened. Lou Yao's body suddenly began to disintegrate.
She stretched out her hands in fear, trying to piece together her scattered body, but she was powerless. Those lying behind Li Zhaoyue also began to tremble.
"You want to kill me? What gives you the right to kill me? Li Zhaoyue!" She screamed, scrabbling with her remaining hand. Soon, her voice was lost in the ash that turned her body to. Li Zhaoyue turned around and looked at the trembling fat man.
"This is what happens when you bully me, do you understand?" she said calmly.
The fat man lowered his head, not daring to look at her, and just nodded continuously. The fat all over his body was shaking, which looked both funny and disgusting.
"Go away," Li Zhaoyue said, waving his hand mercifully at them. The group immediately looked relieved and began to crawl away.
Only after everyone had left did she lose control of her trembling and fall to the ground.
It's okay, it's okay, she muttered silently in her heart.
I finally protected myself for once.
Li Zhaoyue slowly exhaled, her right hand loosening weakly. The Churi Sword slid to the ground with a crisp sound. She raised her red palm and covered her eyes. So many people had rushed towards her just now, all with expressions of justice, and with deep malice, they unleashed their spiritual energy wantonly.
She almost thought she was going to die.
Fortunately, she turned her head and looked at the strangely familiar sword in her hand. Fortunately, she had this sword. With this gesture today, she thought that no one would bother her from now on. Finally, she could have some peace and quiet.
She looked at the lush green trees around her and sighed inwardly. Now she truly understood what Xie Feng had said to her before.
Only by becoming stronger can she survive on the floating island. In the past, she was blinded by her own shortcomings and was childish and ridiculous, thinking that everyone in Yiziyuan was kind.
But now, she looked up at the sky, looked at the moon looming on the edge of the sunset, and smiled bitterly.
Lou Yao exuded the scent of a resurrection curse, and Li Zhaoyue sensed it the moment he approached her. This was a deeply sinister curse that required the victim to kill someone every month to nourish the curse with blood, otherwise their body would instantly turn to ashes.
She had just removed the resurrection curse from Lou Yao, which was also a revenge for her taking her body.
"You did a great job." Yue Jinhuan's voice suddenly rang in his mind. Li Zhaoyue was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had gone to Fengling Hall to pick her up a few days ago.
"Thank you." Li Zhaoyue said.
Yue Jinhuan was very excited, and his tone was very cheerful: "That means I didn't find the wrong person. When you have time, let's go to Fengling Hall to restore our memories."
Yue Jinhuan said that Li Zhaoyue was the only god on the floating island in her previous life, but she fell to the mortal world in an accident and lost her memory. She searched for her in the mortal world for a long time before finding her. They used to be good friends.
"Is it really important for me to recover my memory?" Li Zhaoyue asked in confusion.
"Of course, of course. If it were the you in the past, you would never allow yourself to become the idiot you are now." Yue Jinhuan said.
Li Zhaoyue didn't like her saying that and continued to ask, "Why? If you knew too much, I would be even more unhappy."
Yes, in the past half month, she had experienced pain she had never experienced before and had endured a great deal of ill will. After going through all of this, the most direct feeling she had was that she was unhappy.
But she just wants to be happy. If she is not happy in this world, what is the point of living.
As she thought about this, she couldn't help but say what was in her mind.
The voice in his head fell silent. Then, Yue Jinhuan suddenly burst into laughter, his tone rather helpless: "Your bad habits haven't changed."
"But I don't think this is a problem," Li Zhaoyue picked up the sword and got up from the ground. "Life is the whole purpose of coming to this world. If life is not happy, then wouldn't living be endless suffering?"
“If remembering something makes me unhappy, I’d rather not remember it.”
"Don't you want to be a god high above everyone else?" Yue Jinhuan asked.
Li Zhaoyue recalled the many legends about gods he'd read as a child. On a mortal's birthday, they'd release a Kongming lantern into the sky, and the gods would see and grant their wishes. It sounded romantic, but how lonely must the gods be to watch over the clouds each night, watching those lanterns light up.
Later, fewer and fewer people knew about this custom, but every time she had her birthday, she would think of the lonely god and secretly light an extra lantern.
Maybe in this way, the gods won’t be lonely anymore.
"But you said there is only one God in the world. That would be so lonely." She walked towards Qingfeng Courtyard.
Yue Jinhuan stopped talking, and Li Zhaoyue walked quietly along this road. For the first time, he was not worried that someone was lying in ambush nearby.
When she was almost at Qingfeng Courtyard, she saw a purple figure stopped in front of her gate. She walked closer and saw that it was He Shuyu.
Looking at the obvious confusion on Li Zhaoyue's face, He Shuyu cleared his throat and rolled up his sleeves awkwardly.
"What are you doing here?" Li Zhaoyue asked curiously.
They hadn't seen each other for about half a month since they parted in the secret room that day.
"Just... just passing by." He Shuyu coughed again and rolled up her sleeves. Li Zhaoyue gave her a strange look and was about to go in.
"Hey!" He Shuyu called her.
"What's the matter?" Li Zhaoyue asked.
He Shuyu rubbed his sleeves for a long time, sighed, and took something out. It was a sword.
"Everyone on the Floating Island is in danger right now. I... I made an extra sword yesterday. I think you're weak, so you must really need this..."
Li Zhaoyue stared at her blankly and smiled.
This was the first time He Shuyu had given her something in all these years. No matter how harsh her words were, he must have been worried about her safety by sending her something at this time.
Li Zhaoyue took the sword and said thank you to her sincerely.
He Shuyu, however, seemed to have heard something earth-shattering. She hastily agreed and was about to leave. Before leaving, she turned around and gave Li Zhaoyue a deep look: "Take care."
Li Zhaoyue smiled and said, "Take care."
"Aren't you sworn enemies? Why would she be so kind as to send you something?" Yue Jinhuan asked.
"Not really. We were good friends before, but because of some misunderstandings, things became like this." Li Zhaoyue said, stroking the sword and feeling He Shuyu's spiritual power on it.
He Shuyu was not favored in the He family. Because he had no ability to use space magic, his family sent him to Yiziyuan to practice swordsmanship.
