It is impossible to return to Taihua Sect.
This choice never appeared in Chu Lu's options.
Let’s not talk about the turmoil that a former sect leader who once fell into evil will cause within the sect after he returns. Just looking at what he has done over the years, once he returns, Taihua Sect will probably immediately become the target of public criticism.
Chu Lu believed that Xie Jing could do something that would make everyone shut up (physics), but——
He sighed: "If I go back now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yi Qiu to do it."
At least consider the younger generation.
Xie Jing felt that this was not a problem.
If someone came to him to cause trouble for this, he would definitely make sure that person would never come again. And for Wei Yiqiu, if a little "difficulty" could bring his master back, he would probably be very happy to accept this "difficulty".
Although there were so many reasons, Xie Jing had never been good at persuading or convincing others - he was better at convincing people with (physics) logic - the latter obviously did not work on his senior brother, so he could only remain silent.
Chu Lu, who thought he had solved another problem, withdrew his gaze and hesitated between Xiang Wanya and Jiang Yixi.
In terms of difficulty to deal with, Jiang Yixi is naturally a level higher.
But Xiang Wanya...
Chu Lu knew in his heart that if he just turned around and left without saying anything, Xiang Wanya would not stop him, but... his conscience, which had been honed to be invulnerable through countless missions, felt a little bit of pain.
Jiang Yixi immediately noticed Chu Lu's hesitation.
After all, he helped take care of his apprentice for so many years after Ling Hua's "death", so Jiang Yixi must know about the little things going on under his tutelage.
But thinking about Ling Hua's bad temper of "taking care of everything by himself" and "being the only one to stand up when the sky falls", if he is to take the initiative, he would probably have to reincarnate and become a completely different person.
He thought about it, then pushed Wanya hard from behind.
Although as the only demon cultivator from the opposing camp present, Xiang Wanya should be very alert at this moment, but three of the other four people are elders who have watched him grow up, and the other one, Lou Kongyu, has such low cultivation that it can be ignored. It is no exaggeration to say that Xiang Wanya was the most relaxed in the past hundred years. However, he was actually pushed by Jiang Yixi and staggered.
He looked back blankly, "...Uncle Jiang?"
But Jiang Yixi had already called Xie Jing to walk away. After thinking for a while, he reminded, "Wuwanghai cannot use his spiritual power and magic energy. His body has not yet been tempered by the thunder tribulation... Just ask whatever you want to ask..."
Xiang Wanya: “???”
Chu Lu: "..."
Xiang Wanya hadn't figured out what Jiang Yixi meant by this, but Chu Lu did.
The other party meant that he couldn't beat Xiang Wanya now, and if he really couldn't get the answer, he could choose to use force. Jiang Yixi could obviously choose to transmit the secret message, but he chose to speak directly... It was more like he was speaking to him than to Xiang Wanya.
After all, given Xiang Wanya's personality, it is impossible for him to take action.
Furthermore, fighting strength is never determined by physical fitness.
But Chu Lu didn’t know whether Jiang Yixi had any misunderstanding about the current situation or wanted to take this opportunity to settle a score.
He felt that if the little things between the two of them were really revealed, what Xiang Wanya would want to do most... would probably be to kill his master on the spot...
Chu Lu was not the only one who understood Jiang Yixi's unfinished intention. Lou Kongyu's face changed and he tried to stop him, but was carried away without any resistance.
By the time the young man realized what was happening, he was already facing the yellow sand, being held under someone's armpits. A slow voice came from above, "That was a matter between the master and the disciple..."
Lou Kongyu, who was about to struggle, suddenly froze because of this sentence, but heard the other party's next sentence: "...it won't be too late to get involved after you get into it."
Lou Kongyu:!!!
Enter, enter...? !
These two words kept repeating in his mind, and for a moment, his whole body felt like a malfunctioning mechanism, stuck.
Jiang Yixi: “?”
He subconsciously shook the Lou Kongyu he was holding twice, not understanding why the young man suddenly stopped responding.
——Could it be that he didn’t control his strength and hurt someone?
On the other side, the two people who were left behind after Jiang Yixi specially cleared the area fell into silence.
After a long time, Chu Lu realized that if he didn't mention it, the other party might remain silent forever. So, he spoke first, "Like Yixi said, if you have anything to ask, just ask it."
He had no problem admitting what he had done in the past.
Xiang Wanya: “…”
The hands in his long sleeves clenched into fists, and he didn't dare look in that direction, for fear that they would show some disgust.
The name floated on his lips for several times, but was finally hidden in his voice, "...You already knew that I was half demon?...Since the first time I saw..."
His voice was a little hoarse.
"yes."
Even if it wasn't because of the plot, Chu Lu knew it.
After all, the first time he saw the kid, the other party revealed his physique.
The child at that time was in a similar situation to Lou Kongyu. However, Xiang Wanya was not as lucky as Lou Kongyu, as Chu Lu arrived in time to rescue him.
He saved himself.
The child's bloodline was half awakened when he was near death. When Chu Lu finally found him and rushed over, the place had turned into a sea of blood. The blood of Xiang Wanya and the blood of those who bullied him...
It can be said that if Chu Lu had arrived a step late, he could have reported the mission failure in advance and applied to return.
It was because of that accident that Chu Lu realized that the world consciousness of this world was too cruel to his own son. After that, every time a critical plot point came, he wanted to keep an eye on him closely, for fear that the world consciousness would kill his own son first.
Since he already knew the plot, Chu Lu had naturally arrived there to find a disciple. From the plot, we can see that the situation of the child of destiny was not very good at that time. Chu Lu held the idea of "the sooner I find him, the better", and according to the plot, he wandered around here for several years after the child was born, but he never found anything.
This was not the first time Chu Lu had encountered such a situation, so he immediately understood what was going on.
——It was the barrier of world consciousness. He had not yet reached the point where he could meet the Child of Destiny.
But Chu Lu still searched nearby without giving up, hoping for the chance of success.
After all, a few years is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator, and even more so for a tasker in a small world, but it is not the case for that child.
…
…………
But even Chu Lu didn't expect that when he finally saw it, the situation would have deteriorated to that extent.
It's really a matter of life and death.
If Chu Lu had not been in the area where the plot took place during those years, he would have only had time to collect the bodies.
…
…………
"Yes", the man replied "yes".
This answer, which was already expected, still made Xiang Wanya's breathing quicken. He lowered his eyes to hide the expression in them.
There is a reason for the discriminatory treatment that I have been brooding over for those years.
One is a disciple who is being cultivated with all his heart and soul and is regarded as the successor, while the other is just a half-demon child who needs to be watched nearby...
How can they be the same? What qualifications do they have to be the same?!
Xiang Wanya's face turned a little pale, but because of his martial arts, his face didn't show much color, so it was not noticeable at this moment.
In fact, I have already discovered and understood...
He just didn't want to admit it.
…
…………
Xiang Wanya was silent for a long time, but Chu Lu felt that he really understood.
In this world, even in the mortal world, the relationship between master and disciple is almost like that between father and son, not to mention the cultivators who seek immortality.
For cultivators who have lived a long life, worldly ties are fleeting, and the master who leads them on the path is the "father" that the cultivation world recognizes more. Anyone who has confirmed that the master had ulterior motives when he accepted him as a disciple will feel complicated for a while.
For a long time...
Just when Chu Lu was wondering whether Xiang Wanya was going to end today's conversation in silence, he heard the young man with bloodshot eyes speak again.
"Master, respect..."
Xiang Wanya used up all his strength to control his trembling.
He was afraid that the other party would reject this title.
When Master saw him in the Demon Realm at that time, he must have been extremely disappointed, right?
I had clearly wasted so many years on him, but in the end he was still a piece of rotten wood that could not be educated, and fell into the devil's world...
But even so, that person still fulfilled his duty as a guide and taught him the rules of survival in the demon world as quickly as possible.
——In the Demonic Abyss... there is no place where you can learn the rules of the demon world faster than that place.
After calling out "Master", Xiang Wanya seemed to regain some courage as he did not hear that person's denial immediately.
He asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time, the question that had been stuck in his throat: "Am I still your disciple?"
Chu Lu couldn't help but look at the young man with an uneasy look on his face.
He is truly worthy of being the son of destiny, who can be tormented by the world consciousness all the time but still maintain a positive character overall. His broad mind alone is unmatched by ordinary people.
Think about the things he did. He treated his disciples differently after accepting them as his master. He was indifferent to their requests for help. He often made them feel cold and calm. After his disciple chased him to the demon world, the first thing he did was to throw him into the demon abyss...
As a result, the other party only asked one question: "Are you still your disciple?"
Chu Lu: ...My conscience hurts.
However, the habit of subconsciously maintaining his persona was deeply ingrained in his small world. At this moment, in front of Xiang Wanya, he just nodded faintly and said indifferently: "You decide for yourself."
Xiang Wanya’s face froze.
After a long while, he asked dryly, "Then, will you... go to the Demon Realm again?"
Chu Lu: As expected...
If given a choice, the other party would really not want to call him "Master".
However, considering what he had done, it would be better if this master didn't acknowledge him...
Now when you ask him whether he will come to the demon world, are you worried about the impact of his identity as the “former demon lord”?
At least the story was over, and Chu Lu didn't intend to continue persecuting this poor apprentice brother, so he immediately refused without hesitation.
Xiang Wanya shook his body, and the chill spread from his limbs to his heart. He felt his lips move, but he didn't know what words came out of his mouth. His ears and brain were filled with buzzing sounds.
As expected...
He thought, "——as expected".
What is he looking forward to?
…
…………
Jiang Yixi looked at Xiang Wanya, whose face became increasingly worse after the conversation.
Although I had vaguely guessed this result before, I still felt suffocated when I really encountered it.
This is why he and Xie Jing get along well, because in terms of "not speaking human language", these two brothers are exactly the same in some aspects, and Ling Hua is sometimes even better. However, the latter usually hides it well, and it is impossible to detect unless it is particularly close to people.
Jiang Yixi had actually always been wondering how Ling Hua had been able to be the head of Taihua Sect for so many years without making enemies for the Taihua Sect.
At this moment, Jiang Yixi forced a smile and asked, "Have you finished the discussion?"
The person being asked nodded unconsciously, with an expression that said "all problems solved".
Jiang Yixi felt a tightness in his chest and almost couldn't breathe.
——It’s been a long time since I felt this way.
"What did you talk about?"
The other person turned around and looked at him, and Jiang Yixi clearly interpreted from his eyes that [You deliberately let us two talk alone, and after the talk you asked about the results in front of everyone. This is really weird.]
Jiang Yixi: “…”
The difference between Ling Hua and his junior fellow apprentice is that he would not say these words unless someone close to him specifically asked him. Judging from his words and actions, he is still very "normal" most of the time.
Therefore, unless they are very close to you, they will not be persecuted in this way.
#Why do you think I would do this?! #
Jiang Yixi was almost laughing because of this guy.
As if he had sensed his friend's irritable mentality, the young man thought for a moment and said calmly: "I will never set foot in the demon world in the future."
Jiang Yixi: “???”
He glanced at Xiang Wanya, whose body suddenly shook and whose lips had completely lost their color, and then looked at Ling Hua, who had no sense of consciousness and looked indifferent.
This is the chest tightness and shortness of breath that I haven't felt for a long time.
...Sure enough, after a person dies, all images will be infinitely beautified. He only remembers the good things about this person and completely forgets his faults.
Jiang Yixi couldn't remember for a moment what had given him the confidence that the other party could "come to an agreement" with Xiang Wanya.
——If this man could really talk it out, his two apprentices wouldn't be so depressed until now, and wouldn't be on edge every time they meet.
