"That's all for Qi Mufeng's story."
"Hey? You still haven't told me how the background of Peak Master Bai became a mystery. Tell me again."
"Think about it carefully yourselves, what kind of place is Qingqiu Lake?"
"Isn't that the legendary Demon Realm? Ever since the separation of heaven and earth from humans and gods, that place has become ordinary, and Qingqiu Lake has become a dead zone." The man exclaimed in surprise, "How can a human child be born in a dead zone?"
"This... is what I dare not say!" The leader of the Tu Luo Sect was also a little flustered. "The fact that a child could be born in the barren Dead Zone is the strange thing."
Moreover, it's even more inconceivable that Peak Master Bai can't learn anything except talismans. There are very few talisman cultivators in the world who can even be ranked highly, and he hasn't even mastered one-tenth of them.
"this……"
“My senior sister really only knows how to use talismans. She spends all day writing and drawing with a brush. I’ve never seen her use anything else,” Wen Jingge said.
“Pray for good fortune, Goddess of War, with her we will surely win…” Lu Wei’s brows remained furrowed. Perhaps stimulated by the outside world, he began to mutter in his sleep, “The Lord of the Multitude descends from the heavens… Great battle… We will survive by being put to the brink of death… The return date… is uncertain… My eyes… have been taken away.”
Wen Jingge had set up a barrier beforehand; they could hear the people talking below the corridor, but those below could not hear the voices above.
Seeing Lu Wei like this, she simply patted his back to help him sleep more peacefully.
"You still say you don't think that way." Qu Xiu clicked his tongue a few times. "You're practically writing it on his face."
"What words should I carve?" Wen Jingge was puzzled by his stare.
"My man!" Qu Xiu mouthed, earning a few eye rolls from Wen Jin.
She took a breath, calmed herself, and suppressed the urge to attack. "I've discovered that you're not suited to be the mountain lord."
“I know that too! But I’m the only one left of my generation on this mountain. If I don’t become the mountain lord, who will?” Qu Xiu sighed, lying on the rooftop and staring at the sun. “The weather is really nice today. Now, do you want to hear about your origins?”
Why not?
"That's not a good background at all." Qu Xiu chuckled helplessly. "These small sects have unknowingly turned our three major sects upside down. They probably think we're crazy!"
"Isn't it normal to call you crazy?" Wen Jingge also lay down, imitating Qu Xiu by looking directly at the sun in the sky.
She discovered that even though she was a Xuan Master who surpassed ordinary people...
She still couldn't look directly at the sun.
How did Qu Xiu manage to do that?
"Let's talk about that Master Wen, he's even more extraordinary."
"Cheng Han, you'd better stop keeping us in suspense. The disciples have all gone inside. It's already easy for us to be criticized if we stick around here with you. If people find out that we're talking about the affairs of the three major sects, they might not want to live anymore."
Cheng Han is the name of the leader of the Tu Luo Sect.
"That's right, it was my oversight. I lost track of time as soon as we started talking about our profession."
A murmur rippled through the crowd. "Tell us if you want, or we're all leaving!"
"Do me a favor!" Wen Jingge glanced at Lu Wei beside her; he was still sleeping restlessly. "Tonight..."
"Hiding, is that it?" Qu Xiu thought he understood her mindset perfectly. "Are you going to hide?"
"No." Wen Jingge really didn't know what to say to him. "Help me make an appointment with Cheng Han. I have a feeling he's found out about us."
Qu Xiu stopped looking at the sun and instead reached out his hand to Wen Jingge.
Wen Jingge looked completely bewildered, wondering what had gotten into him and why he was reaching out to her again.
"I know you can draw a freezing charm, even if you look like an ordinary person now, but that piece of clothing of mine..."
"Didn't I say I would return it to you?"
Wen Jingge disliked his fussy personality and impatiently took out two sets of gorgeous clothes from her spatial ring and threw them at him.
These two sets of clothes were originally intended to be burned after Lu Wei failed his tribulation, but now that Lu Wei has woken up, Wen Jinge naturally wants to destroy them. What if Liang Si accidentally reveals them one day?
"I want a freezing charm, not an invisibility charm. What are you giving me clothes for?"
"Didn't you bring up the clothes first? You just wanted to get something good out of me, didn't you? After all, I used to set traps for you guys like this before."
"Huh? You actually know that!" Qu Xiu was amused by his anger. "Wen Jingge, don't assume everyone is as miserly as you, okay? I wore those clothes specifically to test your cultivation level."
Your senior brother, the sect leader, sold you out the moment you arrived on the mountain. I only asked him because I suspect you and Shan Hongxing were locked in a fierce battle on the way. He has no other intentions towards you! Don't overthink it now that you have a man!
"I told you he's not my man!" Wen Jingge gritted her teeth and bared them at him.
"An explanation is just a cover-up. I know you well enough. Don't worry, even if he wakes up, I will keep this secret."
“If it weren’t for…” Wen Jingge gave him the middle finger, “if it weren’t for me waiting to play a big game, I would have beaten you so badly that your own mother wouldn’t recognize you.”
"My mother probably doesn't even recognize me, after all, I'm an orphan that my master picked up!"
Wen Jingge has encountered many opponents, but this is the first time she has faced such a formidable one.
"I think..." Lu Wei opened his eyes, seemingly trying to figure out where he was. After confirming that there was nothing unusual about the environment, he said again, "I really did marry you."
It seemed to be a memory from a long time ago, just a blurry fragment. Wen Jinge was still wearing that military uniform, but the sacrificial ceremony was still being held. It was a ceremony to celebrate the wedding, but neither he nor Wen Jinge had a smile on their faces. Instead, they were solemn. In Wen Jinge's hand was a blood-stained dagger.
Then he woke up and heard every word of their conversation.
How much of it did you listen to?
"Not much, it should only be a little," Lu Wei said, still confused.
He felt he shouldn't be afraid of Wen Jinge, but after waking up, he felt a strange sense of dread about her, as if he had done something to wrong her.
"Oh, since you can't remember, then go back to sleep!"
Lu Wei stared at her blankly for a while, then suddenly laughed. He tilted his head and said, "It's quite similar, but I feel like I'm still missing something."
What's missing?
"Hmm." Lu Wei lay on his side, reaching out to shield his eyes from the sun, looking at his hands which were reddened by the sunlight. "When he disappeared, he told me that the truth was not what it seemed, and that everything was far more complicated than you and I could imagine."
"You and me?" Wen Jingge pointed to herself.
In her perception, Lu Wei's consciousness was dormant, and since Lu Wei had entered the body the moment he awoke, he shouldn't be able to sense her existence.
“Yes, you and me.” Lu Wei scratched his head. “So, why?”
