Thunder rumbled down from the sky, and although yellow sand filled the air, it wasn't as frightening as the previous times.
This time, the leverage was entirely due to the blood on the talisman.
Lu Wei opened his umbrella and looked at the thunderstorm in the sky. His face was as white as paper in the lightning. He had used up a lot of energy to teleport just now and would probably need to rest for a while. Thinking of this, he quickly handed his body back to Qiao Yu, "Don't get wet."
"I don't understand." Qiao Yu looked into the distance, where his junior brother was buried. "Grandmaster, what kind of person was my master?"
Lu Wei found it amusing: "I don't want to share her burdens!"
“Junior Brother Yuan is a human life! There’s only a 10% chance that thing happened.” He sniffed, his hand holding the umbrella trembling. “We also gave him such deep despair. That feeling is unbearable; I’ve experienced it myself.”
Do you know how many cultivators have lost their lives because of this one achievement?
"..."
"If you think it's not worth it, you can go back. I'll die with you and that would be a relief."
Lu Wei smiled helplessly; Qiao Yu was indeed young.
The competition among the Xuanmen (mystical sects) ten thousand years ago was far more intense than it is now. It was an era of flourishing diversity, with sword cultivators, martial arts cultivators, medicine cultivators, ghost cultivators, demon cultivators, blood cultivators... both mainstream and mainstream existed.
Murder for treasure, raising human poison, refining demons... each and every one of these acts is a hundred times more cruel than what Wen Jingge did.
It was a world where only the strong could remain undefeated. If it weren't for the chaos of order, there wouldn't have been that catastrophe, and how could the gods have disappeared?
"……I."
"Senior brother, I've finally found you." Wang Xi, wearing a cloak, looked at the distant lightning. "Master wants you to go back and pack your things."
"luggage?"
Yang Wennan stroked the head of the snow lion beside him and rubbed some water off its head. "Yes, is Senior Brother feeling sorry for it, or do you think Master did something wrong?"
"I just felt that Master wouldn't be so cold-hearted!"
“Master is not indifferent. Success depends on fate, but man proposes, God disposes. In the first place, it was Junior Brother Yuan who begged to join the sect.”
If it weren't for the fact that they had met once in the illusion, do you think Master would have agreed to let him in?
What is a person who is over seventy years old and has not yet reached the sixth rank if not a good-for-nothing?
"The Xuan Yun Sect, a great sect with a thousand-year history, accepting a good-for-nothing as the closed-door disciple of its peak master—don't you think your thinking is ridiculous?"
Qiao Yu just looked at him. In the rain, the faces of her junior brothers and sisters were blurred. It seemed that he had returned to that strange circle, a circle in which he was all alone.
Yang Wennan blocked his way. He knew that Qiao Yu was impulsive and couldn't take it anymore.
He seized the opportunity to ignite the situation, throwing the man to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw and immobilizing his hand. Wang Xi understood and stuck a burning immobilization talisman on him.
"Senior brother, if you were indifferent, do you think you would still be alive?" Yang Wennan pinched Qiao Yu's chin, feeling that he must be no different from the villain in the storybook at this moment.
Qiao Yu's eyes were filled with panic, and he looked away in confusion, "Wh-what do you mean?"
"Senior Brother Liang told me to keep an eye on you." His fingers tapped firmly on Qiao Yu's chest, making a series of thuds. "Today he asked me what Master's attitude towards you was, and he specifically mentioned you, not the Grand Master. Do you understand what I mean?"
What do you want to do?
Lu Wei fell into a deep sleep. The person he was about to face was himself. At this moment, he panicked.
"Me? Of course I'll help Senior Brother Yang subdue Senior Brother Qiao!" Wang Xi saw the earnest look in his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Master is the benefactor of our Qianyan Kingdom. My heart is only for Master. I can't let Senior Brother ruin Master's beautiful dream."
“That dream…” He stopped resisting and finally understood.
He was somewhat desperate. "It's that dream, isn't it? Senior Brother Liang told you about that dream. In the dream, hehehehe, in the dream I would kill Master."
"It was a dream." The two siblings worked together to lift Qiao Yu onto the back of the snow-laden lion. "Senior Brother Liang said that according to Master's personality before the accident, a threat like you could only die at the foot of the mountain, even though you did nothing."
However, not only did he not die, but Wen Jingge also brought him back to Wanzhang Peak in full view of everyone.
Not only that, Wen Jingge was also secretly protecting him.
They even gave him special treatment.
And each time, it came at a price. The time she received special treatment, she was struck by lightning twice, both because of him.
"So...you..."
He couldn't tell if it was tears or rain, but the water mixed together on his face, and he suddenly felt tired.
My eyes hurt, my face hurts, but my heart hurts even more...
Why can't this world accept him?
Yang Wennan suddenly snorted coldly, "What does this have to do with us?"
“Exactly.” Wang Xi was also angry. “When Master accepted me as his disciple, he said he wished you were dead. I didn’t understand then, but now I do.”
"What happened?" Yang Wennan wasn't with them at the time, so he didn't know.
"What else could it be?" Wang Xi said sarcastically. "Someone has too many ulterior motives, and Master is too lazy to bother with them!"
"..." Yang Wennan glanced at him, her expression indeed falling, as if her secret had been exposed.
“If I were Master, I would be so annoyed.” She suddenly laughed. “No wonder Master likes me. I tell Master everything I want, everything I want to do, and everything I can’t get. Master likes straightforward people.”
Yang Wennan nodded thoughtfully, then became a bit harsher on Qiao Yu, "Only people with impure thoughts can think so badly of others. You were allowed to stay, so why can't Master tolerate a pitiful person who wants to cultivate?"
Do you think marrow cleansing is simple? Although I don't know to what extent Master can achieve it, it's definitely not an effect that ordinary marrow cleansing pills can produce. He said there's a 10% chance of success, but I reckon there's a 10% chance of failure.
After all, our master is so powerful.
"You haven't even tried it, how can you—" Qiao Yu suddenly froze.
Yes, Master mentioned it unintentionally.
"Do you still remember Jian Ting and Jian Shujie?" A bitter smile appeared on his lips, and the sourness in his heart rose again. "Because of them, I was thrown out of the sect, my meridians were destroyed, my cultivation was ruined, and I was even slandered as a thief. At that time, I was also very desperate and even thought I was going to die."
I didn't want to live anymore, but by a twist of fate, I gave the last steamed bun I had to a beggar.
The man was insane; after eating the steamed bun, he wanted more. I was determined to die, so I let him do whatever he wanted. Eventually, my hands and feet were broken.
At that moment, I thought to myself, why is even dying so difficult for me? I fainted from the pain several times while he was messing around with me.
When I woke up, I was lying in the rain, and that's when I realized I could gather my energy again.
He was also the one who told me that the Xuan Yun Sect held a great opportunity for me.
"Could it be Master?"
Looking across the entire Xuan Yun Sect, only her master was capricious and had the leisure to tinker with these things.
Thunderclouds were still descending from the sky.
The direction is where Yuan Qingling is.
They received orders that they could only go there tomorrow.
"I don't know who he is. He said I have a lucky life, and that she just happened to need someone to lend her energy, so I showed up." Yang Wennan draped his cloak over Qiao Yu and held up the umbrella himself. "Senior brother, if you ruin his opportunity, can you take responsibility?"
Qiao Yu fell silent.
