Chapter 69 The person she needs is Mo Beixing...
As Mo Beixing spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the void.
Everything around them was shaking. The wind and snow were growing stronger and stronger, roaring, and almost swallowing up the two people in the center of the storm.
The city lord who had ignored them also turned around. Her originally kind face changed and became cold and hard, while her eyes turned a terrifying scarlet.
This is her world and she is the master here.
And now, she was going to crush those guys who dared to break in.
Mo Beixing looked back at the city lord calmly, but there was no trace of fear on that beautiful face.
He clasped his hands together and golden light flew out from his fingertips, transforming into a golden sword that pierced through the wind and snow like sunlight.
The city lord just sneered: "It's just a trifle."
"Then let's give it a try." Mo Beixing controlled the sword and stabbed towards the inner demon.
When the city lord saw the golden sword, he opened his mouth wide and spit out a lot of black mist. The mist gathered together and instantly turned into a black bird, which attacked Qingluan.
Even though the one who attacked her was Mo Beixing, the person she cared about most was always Qingluan.
She loves Qingluan, and when she still has some sense, she will try to protect Qingluan. But after she loses her mind, Qingluan becomes the most dangerous one here.
Mo Beixing turned around and almost exploded with anger.
Qingluan just stood there in a daze, as if she was frightened by the scene. She looked at the city lord quietly, without moving an inch.
Fortunately, Mo Beixing had two ribbons on his clothes today. Seeing Qingluan's dazed look, he could only sigh, swung the ribbons on his clothes, wrapped them around Qingluan's waist, and pulled her away.
But just this one move, Mo Beixing completely angered the city lord's inner demon. She gritted her teeth, stared at Qingluan behind Mo Beixing with her bloodthirsty eyes, and sneered softly.
Seeing her like this, Mo Beixing realized that he and Qingluan might be in danger, so he decisively took out a talisman from his storage bag and slapped it directly on the forehead of the city lord's inner demon.
Just like that, the inner demon that had a bloodthirsty and arrogant look on its face just now, without even being able to shout, completely turned into smoke and was sealed by the talisman.
"This..." Qingluan thought she would see a fierce battle, but she didn't expect Mo Beixing to solve the city lord's inner demon so easily. She couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.
Mo Beixing kindly explained to her: "This is not my power. This talisman is the spiritual power of my master sealed in it. It is used to save my life."
"This is very precious, isn't it?" Hearing this, Qingluan felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, I made you..."
"This talisman is used when I'm in danger." Mo Beixing interrupted Qingluan's apology: "It came in handy, isn't that enough?"
"Well, your master is really good to you." Qingluan lowered his eyes and avoided Mo Beixing's sight: "Since the city lord's inner demon has been sealed, let's go back."
After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave.
But as she walked, she felt a tug at her sleeve, holding her in place.
"Wait! I still have something to ask you!" Mo Beixing turned Qingluan around and forced her to look at him: "Why don't you hide?"
The first and second times could be explained by emotions and being scared, but this was the third time! Three times in total!
Mo Beixing couldn't believe that a cultivator like Qingluan could be frightened silly by the city lord's inner demon three times!
To be exact, he didn't believe it once.
Qing Luan forced a bitter smile on her face: "Friend Mo, my life was given by the city lord. If she wants me to die, then I must die."
"Ah?" Confusion appeared on Mo Beixing's face.
He had lived in the Qingyuan Sect since he was a child. Although he knew that mortals and some immortal cultivation worlds still abided by some feudal dregs, such as if the king wanted his subjects to die, Chen had to die, but when he witnessed it with his own eyes, he still felt as if his brain was unable to work.
What is this weird thing?
Mo Beixing tried to persuade Qingluan: "Your life is your own."
Qing Luan just smiled and shook her head: "You don't understand, Fellow Daoist Mo."
Mo Beixing really didn't understand.
This kind of thing was still too complicated for him.
But Mo Beixing is not a puppy who will give up easily. Finding that he couldn't explain this issue to Qingluan, Mo Beixing quickly changed the point of entry: "Qingluan, why do you think the city lord wants you to die?"
"She...she wants to kill me." A moment of confusion flashed across Qingluan's eyes.
Mo Beixing emphasized seriously: "She doesn't want to kill you. Even if she loses her mind and becomes possessed, she still doesn't want to kill you. Even an outsider like me can see that. Can't you see that?"
Qingluan stopped talking. She pursed her lips and acted stubborn, as if she wanted to shut herself off and avoid all questioning.
Mo Beixing was rarely aggressive. He looked at Qingluan seriously and said, "Sister Qingluan, you are a very important person to the city lord. If she really kills you, she will be in pain. Do you want her to suffer when she wakes up?"
“........”
Qingluan did not answer. She closed her eyes and avoided Mo Beixing's questioning.
But the tears couldn't stop rolling down her cheeks.
She seemed to be in pain.
She also seems to have inner demons.
Mo Beixing suddenly understood something.
He looked at Qingluan and said seriously, "You are the one who wants to die."
Qingluan's body stiffened instantly.
Mo Beixing did not miss the change in Qingluan's expression and asked affirmatively, "You want to die, why?"
“Is this important?”
"But I want to know."
Qingluan stopped crying, the sadness on her face slowly faded away, and finally, she smiled:
"Yes, why?"
After a long while, she asked herself again and answered: "Because I hate her."
To be honest, this was indeed an answer that surprised Mo Beixing.
He didn't say anything, but took a step back and listened quietly to Qingluan's confession as a listener.
Qingluan looked at the beautiful young man, looking at him seriously.
How strange! She had once been jealous of him, thinking that this pretty boy who looked like a girl was the candidate for the city lord's daughter.
But he was a boy, and after knowing that he was a boy, Qingluan stopped her hidden jealousy.
She knew that the city lord would not want a son.
She just wanted a daughter.
Even if it didn't continue, even now, Qingluan couldn't say that she liked Mo Beixing that much.
But looking at those gentle, calm eyes, she still told him what she had suppressed in her heart for so many years.
She was too lonely and too miserable.
Such pain will breed inner demons...
"The city lord and I are very similar people." Qingluan said softly, "We both have deep obsessions and are both bound by the pain of our mortal days. I think I will also die in my own inner demons."
"I am the girl adopted by the city lord, but I am not her apprentice, nor her daughter. I don't know what I am, but I can't help but guess whether I am a substitute for her daughter because she misses me, and I am jealous of those pretty and lovely girls who meet their needs for a daughter." Qingluan's voice was very sad: "They didn't do anything wrong, but I still hate them. I am a very bad person."
Mo Beixing didn't say anything, just continued listening.
Qingluan doesn't need him to react at this moment.
Her words were somewhat confusing, and she seemed to be saying, or just venting her emotions:
"She's not bad to me. On the contrary, she's very good to me. If it weren't for her, I would have died a long time ago, let alone become an immortal... Maybe she just raised an ungrateful person. I'm still not satisfied... I'm not satisfied no matter what."
"What do you want?" Mo Beixing did not blame her, nor did he blindly say that she did nothing wrong. He just asked softly: "Have you ever asked yourself? What do you want, Qingluan?"
Qingluan was stunned.
During these years, she seemed to be filled with more pain, jealousy, and resentment.
But she really didn't seem to ask herself.
What exactly do you want?
"I want to be the person she needs." Qingluan said softly, "I want to be someone important to her, just like she is in my heart."
