The night was quiet and deep, with the moonlight pouring down on the earth like water. Xiao Ning finally learned the truth of the past from Yourong Rouxue's soft and silky voice.
The mystery of Xue Lian's life experience, how he embarked on the path of evil, and why he eventually died under Yourong Rouxue's sword, these past stories gradually became clear in Xiao Ning's mind.
After listening to this, Xiao Ning smiled bitterly, and an indescribable sense of loss surged in his heart. It turned out that he had always been just a substitute. He couldn't help but chuckle and sighed:
"Haha, so it is. How could I be so naive to think that someone liked me for no reason?"
"It is exactly as Aunt Nangong said. There is no such thing as true love in the world. All emotions are just for a purpose or reason."
Rong Rouxue looked at Xiao Ning, her heart flustered. She quickly reached out and grabbed Xiao Ning's hand, eager to explain something.
"No, Ning'er, even if you are not Lian'er's reincarnation, I am still......"
However, You Rong Rouxue did not finish her words after all, because she herself could not be sure whether her feelings for Xiao Ning at this moment were genuine.
Xiao Ning, however, was unusually calm at this moment. He slowly pulled his hand out of Yourong Rouxue's and said in a cold tone:
"Sister, it's okay. Since the person you're waiting for has returned, should I leave?"
When Yourong Rouxue heard Xiao Ning's intention to leave, she was instantly filled with panic. She stood up hastily, with an unprecedented panic on her face, and held Xiao Ning's arm tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that he would disappear.
"No, Ning'er, you can't leave. Listen to my explanation. I admit that I once had some thoughts about Lian'er, but those are all in the past. Now that you and I are married, I will never do anything out of line again."
You Rong Rouxue's voice was full of eagerness and sincerity, and her eyes revealed deep attachment and determination.
However, Xiao Ning fell into silence, his heart was like a tangled mess. He looked at Yourong Rouxue quietly, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
"Fuck, why do I feel like I've become a third party? No, this is absolutely the truth! She is the sect's great leader, with a respected status and tremendous power, and I'm just an ordinary little person. What's more, she has a lover named Bai Yueguang, in comparison, I'm like an insignificant supporting role. And that Xue Lian seems to give me an inexplicable feeling, as if a pair of eyes are staring at me all the time." Xiao Ning was thinking a lot in his mind, and finally he struggled to break free from You Rong Rouxue's hand and sighed:
"Sister, I think I should leave. This will be a good thing for the three of us."
After Xiao Ning finished speaking, he stood up and left the room. His movements seemed a little hasty, as if he was eager to escape from this place that made him feel uneasy. Only Rong Rouxue was left there silently, with a hint of confusion and helplessness in her eyes.
In order to prevent Yourong Rouxue from stabbing him in the back, Xiao Ning immediately put on the Chaos Bell to prevent himself from being knocked unconscious. His movements were swift and decisive, and he seemed to be on guard against Yourong Rouxue. But just as his left foot stepped out, footsteps were heard from outside. It was Xue Lian and Yourong Xuanya who walked in.
They saw Xiao Ning was about to leave, and Rong Rouxue was listless on the bed. Rong Xuanya immediately understood the meaning. She hurriedly said:
"Ning'er, my sister is not what you think. She and Lian'er are just master and disciple, nothing happened."
Xue Lian also echoed:
"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry for disturbing you and Master's life on such an important occasion. I have a reason for doing so. I'm very sorry!"
Xiao Ning did not speak. His eyes were cold and firm, as if he did not believe the explanations of Yourong Xuanya and Xue Lian. Then, Yourong Xuanya came to Yourong Rouxue and said in a deep voice, "Sister, Lian'er has something to tell you."
You Rong Rouxue looked at the two of them, then looked at Xiao Ning. She was in a very confused mood and didn't know what to do. Her heart was full of contradictions and struggles.
Seeing this, Xiao Ning left the room alone to look for Er Ning. Only the three of them were left in You Rong Rouxue's bedroom. Xue Lian saw Xiao Ning leave, and a smile that was hard to detect appeared on her face, which seemed to hide some conspiracy. Then, she came to You Rong Rouxue's side. You Rong Rouxue looked at her apprentice with joy, as if the unpleasant things just now had disappeared in an instant.
"Lian'er, what's the matter? Is it important?" There was a hint of expectation and concern in Rong Rouxue's voice.
Xue Lian gently held her hand, and then said softly: "Master, I have dissipated my magic power, and now I have no cultivation at all. I want to start over and practice under you."
There was a firm gleam in his eyes, as if he had made an important decision.
Yourong Rouxue felt relieved after hearing Xue Lian's words. She knew that Xue Lian had always been a talented disciple, but he had gone astray because of the influence of the magic. Now, Xue Lian was able to actively disperse the magic attack and return to the right path, which made her very happy.
"Okay, Lian'er, I will definitely teach you well." Yourong Rouxue said with a smile.
However, she didn't know that Xue Lian actually had a bigger plan hidden in his heart...
Xiao Ning slowly walked to Er Ning's side, looking at Er Ning who was sleeping soundly on the blanket, Xiao Ning gently picked up Er Ning and held him tightly in his arms. Xiao Ning gently stroked Er Ning's back, his eyes full of doting, but also with a hint of sadness. He said to Er Ning:
