Bai Mian remained silent.
She didn't know how to answer Wanyan Cai's question.
Of course, she didn't look down on Gongxi Jingshen.
Although Gongxi Jingcan is not very talented, he is still a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage after all. What's more, he is now the only offspring of Gongxi Zhenxing.
In the future, Qixia Pass and Feitian Mountain Mansion will be in the hands of Gongxi Jingcan.
In terms of cultivation, power, background and future, Gongxi Jingcan is a person that Bai Mian needs to look up to, but... Bai Mian only regards Gongxi Jingcan as a brother, without any love between men and women.
Seeing Bai Mian's silence and the bitterness on his face, Wan Yancai said coldly, "Are you still thinking about that devil?"
Bai Mian was startled and raised her head suddenly. She knew who the devil Wanyan Cai was talking about was.
"Hmph! That devil killed my beloved son and the only fourth-rank alchemist in Qixia Pass. This hatred is irreconcilable. I know you and him are from the same country, but he is so bad, yet you still think about him. Aren't you wasting my training?"
Bai Mian remained silent. The relationship between her and Xue Kong was not as simple as outsiders thought. However, she could not talk about Xue Kong and could not explain it.
Even if she could explain, she wouldn't say anything.
However, after Xue Kong and Honglian disappeared that day, there was no news of them since then, and she was worried about Xue Kong.
Over the past twenty years, she carefully recalled every moment she had spent with Xue Kong, and discovered that although Xue Kong acted like a devil, he had not harmed her except for occupying her body.
Instead, it helps you eliminate your worries, gives you a way to practice, and relieves your concerns.
If he had to choose a partner for dual cultivation, Bai Mian only had that person in his heart.
Seeing that Bai Mian didn't say anything, Wanyan Cai felt deeply disappointed and hatred grew in her heart. She forced Bai Mian to marry Gongxi Jingcan because she really thought Bai Mian was talented and a good person.
But on the other hand, there is also Xue Kong's reason.
She saw the unusual relationship between Bai Mian and Xue Kong, and wanted to take revenge on Xue Kong, making him feel the pain of losing his beloved, so she made this decision.
Seeing that Bai Mian was still obsessed with Xue Kong, Wanyan Cai snorted coldly, "Give up on this idea. That devil has long been dead in the wilderness. I'm afraid he's been eaten by wild beasts by now, and nothing remains."
"What!!!" Bai Mian stood up in shock. In just a moment, her eyes turned red and covered with a layer of mist.
Wanyan Cai felt heartbroken by Bai Mian's actions and said bitterly, "That day, Zhenxing and Baihe Zhenren, two incarnations, joined forces to force that demon and another incarnation woman into a desperate situation..."
"Although that demon has practiced the demonic body-refining technique and grown six arms, he is still a Nascent Soul cultivator after all. All six arms are broken, and he has long been a cripple."
"That Divine Transformation woman is also seriously injured. There is no way these two will make it out of the wilderness."
"His arm is broken?" Bai Mian's eyes became redder and he began to sob.
Wanyan Cai glared at Bai Mian, but Bai Mian seemed not to see him. He just murmured something, but it was unclear what he was saying.
Wanyan Cai snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Before leaving the room, she released a stream of spiritual energy to seal the room: "You are not allowed to leave this room before the Dual Cultivation Ceremony tomorrow!"
The cold voice echoed in Bai Mian's ears, and she suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if the blow just now was so great that she lost all her strength.
She just shed tears silently, murmuring in her heart: "Xue Kong, are you really dead?"
“…”
boom!
The bustling Qixia Pass suddenly shook throughout. The mortals were frightened, and the monks all raised their heads and looked in the same direction.
It was a towering mountain. On the top of the mountain, there was a cave filled with extremely rich spiritual energy. The source of the vibration came from this cave.
"I heard that there's a huge spirit gathering formation on that mountain, which can gather spiritual energy from all directions and gather it in one place. It's the place where Gong Xijingcan practices."
"Now that this vibration has been heard, and such a rich spiritual energy has spread, this spiritual energy contains a faint power of oppression. I am afraid that Gongxi Jingshen has achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation."
"If Gongxi Jingcan achieves a breakthrough before the dual cultivation ceremony, it will truly be a double blessing."
Many cultivators flew into the air and looked at the cave together.
But after looking for a long time, no one showed up.
However, they did not realize that Gongxi Jingcan had already flashed and entered Feitian Mountain Mansion without anyone noticing. Without anyone noticing, he came to the outside of an exquisite attic with a lost sigh.
A figure in a gray robe appeared.
He looked like a middle-aged man, perhaps because he was exhausted or tired from practicing, but his expression showed his age, and his chin was covered with stubble. He looked much older than he was twenty years ago.
Standing here, he could hear the soft sobbing coming from inside the house. It was obvious that someone was crying.
"Bai Mian, can I come in?" Gongxi Jingcan was silent for a moment and spoke softly.
After a while, the sobbing sound disappeared, and with the sound of light footsteps, the door curtain was lifted, and Bai Mian with red eyes walked to the door.
"Brother Jingcan, you're out." Bai Mian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Alas." Gongxi Jingcan shook his head, brushed past Bai Mian, and walked into the house.
"As soon as I came out of seclusion, I learned that Mother had arranged a dual cultivation ceremony for us. No one had informed me before."
Gongxi Jingcan said, "I know you have someone else in your heart. A dual cultivation relationship is based on mutual consent. If you truly don't want to be with me, I can ask my mother to cancel this engagement."
"It's useless." Bai Mian shook his head. "Master's decision cannot be changed even by the general. Even if you agree to cancel it, what's the point?"
"I am a mere woman, my cultivation is not high. When my country was destroyed and my family was ruined, I was saved by my master. I have no way to repay this life-saving grace and the kindness of teaching me..."
"I have already advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. If I ask to cancel the engagement, Mother will definitely agree." Gongxi Jingcan said firmly, "If you don't want to, no one can force you."
Bai Mian stared blankly at Gongxi Jingcan.
In the past, she only thought that Gongxi Jingcan was a kind, upright and open-minded person who always responded to other people's requests and seemed to have no opinions of his own.
I just discovered today that the other party is so determined.
It seems that Gongxi Jingcan has changed since his second brother died twenty years ago. He became serious and different from before, and immediately went into seclusion.
After more than 20 years, Gongxi Jingcan seemed like a different person, and he looked a bit like General Gongxi Zhenxing.
But Bai Mian knew that none of this could be changed.
She said nothing more, but just cried silently in her heart.
The weak are like fallen leaves in the wind. They have no control over where they will drift. The wind, the rain, and the sand in the wind can all change their destination.
She has no power to choose, only the fate of being chosen.
Gongxi Jingcan left.
Bai Mian didn’t know what happened afterwards, but he never saw the other person again that day.
