"Why?"
With a calm tone, Mingmei voiced her doubts once again. Compared to Meijiu, who was almost crying, Mingmei's composed demeanor piqued Zenko's interest even more.
"You are the grown-up Mingmei, aren't you?"
Suddenly, after Zenguang finished speaking, Mingmei's eyes widened unconsciously, her expression clearly indicating that she had tacitly agreed with what he said.
Mingmei was already internally screaming, "What on earth is going on with this game?!"
How did she get exposed?
"What the heck?"
Compared to Mingmei's reaction, Lu Xiaoyao's reaction was much bigger.
She suddenly looked down at Mingmei, who only reached her waist, and asked incredulously, "Are you Mingmei?"
The "bright and beautiful" in question was not referring to the "bright and beautiful" character in the game, but rather to her classmate, Mingmei.
Mingmei looked at Mei Jiu, who was completely terrified, and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Holy crap, you tricked me!?" Lu Xiaoyao never expected Mingmei to be so well-hidden!
"I'm not kidding you, something's wrong with my body, I can't help it..."
"Oh, right, you seem to have some kind of illness, is it just a persona?"
Mingmei: "..."
Even though Lu Xiaoyao believed it and instantly understood herself, she still felt uncomfortable listening to these words.
However, the next second Lu Xiaoyao's face suddenly turned ugly. Her gaze then turned to Chan Guang, who was standing not far away, and she asked Mingmei nervously in a low voice, "So, were you exposed by an NPC?"
Mingmei: "..."
Ah, it seems that's how it is.
Seeing Mingmei remain silent, Changuang wasn't angry, but asked with some hesitation, "Your current state suggests that you failed when you followed True Person Mingxiao to ascend to immortality..."
"Are you the grown-up Zen Light?" Mingmei didn't answer directly, afraid that if she said a few more words, Lu Xiaoyao's puzzled face would become a mosaic.

Baoqiang roars: What is all this? (in a fourth tone).jpg
Her past isn't part of the main storyline of this game, is it?
"Hehe, not really."
The Buddhist monk, who had been expressionless, suddenly let out a chuckle, making everyone present laugh so hard their tailbone tingled!
Hey! The scene here is just like a character in a horror movie suddenly going crazy and scaring everyone who sees him to death.
That eerie laughter was quite fitting for the scene where a large number of people had just died.
It seems the main characters have caught the culprit behind the murder, and then—the culprit turns out to be a supernatural force!
"My existence will last only ten years until I disappear."
Because of the ghostly smile on his face, a bright red mark appeared between Zenkwang's eyebrows, like a flame.
"This...this is a demon within my heart!"
A disciple from Jingyun Mountain immediately recognized the meaning behind the mark between Chan Guang's eyebrows and shouted, "This is a sign of a demon entering the body!"
"My God!"
Having been in the game for so long, Lu Xiaoyao knew what it meant to be possessed by a demon, so she pulled Mingmei and Meijiu back a step. "No wonder he's so amazing at such a young age, able to deflect attacks!"
Lu Xiaoyao's words gave Mingmei some inspiration.
"The relics of your temple are with you!"
Even if the opponent is possessed by a demon, even if the game design suggests the opponent might be reborn, his age is still a factor. How could he possibly withstand an attack that was almost equivalent to a full-force strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator?
Unless, he used other methods to improve his strength.
"Come with me."
Without answering Mingmei's question, Zenguang reached out his hand to her and said the same words that the Fifth Elder had just said.
“No…” Mingmei refused, then looked at the other person with disbelief in her eyes and asked, “Why? Why are you doing this? You have no reason! You are a Buddhist disciple, you…”
Mingmei herself didn't know what else to say. Why did this perfectly good Buddhist disciple turn evil?
She initially thought it was possible that Xie Chen was a corrupted boss, but what was Zen Light's purpose?
He had a bright future that he could see the end of at a glance. In fact, she knew from Mei Jiu that in the original world, Zen Guang did indeed ascend to Buddhahood in the end!
How could this happen in the game...? What is her uncle doing?!
Is this Zen Light out of character (OOC)?
"I am Zen Light, but I am not a Buddhist disciple. I am who I am, not someone else. These are all other people's expectations and fantasies. Why should I be obligated to save all sentient beings just because others say I am a Buddhist disciple?"
Does being called a cursed loner, heartless and ungrateful, mean you should find a deserted place to live out your days in solitude?
But then his words shifted to Mingmei's destiny, and his gaze fell on Mei Jiu, who was already stunned.
"Why should all the geniuses and those with the Phoenix Fate of this era be attracted to her just because others say she has the destiny of a once-in-a-millennium Heavenly Phoenix? Just because Xie Zhen has a mouth?"
...
"Why? Why do you say we're not meant to be?!"
At the other end of the city lord's mansion, another person uttered a question that was almost identical to Zenko's.
Lou Jia and Julian sat slumped on the outermost edge, covered in blood and barely clinging to life. Not far from them lay a pool of mud, barely recognizable as human, containing the remains of the Zerg that had been wiped out at the very beginning.
They never expected that the Zerg they had been chasing in the game would just disappear like that.
It's completely gone!
Not only are they gone, but the game is still not over, and the two who were severely injured and barely alive have finally started to give up.
