Chapter 54: The Past
Nan Lezhi said this lightly. When Geng Jihuan heard it, he moved a small stool over and sat down with some melon seeds in his hand.
"What mortal enemy? Tell me about it. Could it be your romantic past before you became an elder?"
Bai Yunshu leaned against the door, but didn't put his ear close to it.
She knew who it was and he deserved to be killed.
Nan Lezhi didn't want to say much, but just took out a bag of spirit stones from his arms and threw it into Geng Jihuan's hands.
"Why is Elder Geng so curious?"
"You know, gossip is human nature. Tell me about it, and I promise not to tell anyone else."
Geng Ji smiled and put the spirit stone away.
Apart from anything else, Nan Lezhi was really generous with the spirit stones. He would just throw them away without bargaining or being stingy.
Who told them that weapon cultivators earn more, unlike medicine cultivators who earn spirit stones through hard work?
Nan Lezhi just shook his head and told her to be less curious.
"I'm sorry to tell you. Thank you for your hard work today."
She said thank you, straightened her clothes and prepared to go back.
Geng Jihuan wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
"Okay, Elder Nan, take care."
She said goodbye to him, but Nan Lezhi in front of her took two steps and suddenly turned back.
Geng Jihuan thought she had changed her mind.
"I knew you couldn't bear to keep me curious..."
Before she could finish her words, Nan Lezhi looked at her and interrupted her.
"No, your curiosity has nothing to do with me. I'm just looking for Elder Ying Su."
Geng Jihuan's smile froze on his face in embarrassment.
Well, she was just being wishful thinking.
In order to appear as if he didn't care, Geng Jihuan snorted.
"Yes, yes, yes. When you go back, take good care of your disciples. They will be well cared for in the near future."
Nan Lezhi had a good relationship with her junior sister, which she knew. After all, Nan Lezhi was not from the sect before, but was later rescued by her junior sister and brought back to the sect, where he became an elder step by step.
Nan Lezhi looked at Bai Yunshu who was watching the show next to him.
"Elder Ying Su, I have something to tell you. Could you please come over here?"
She asked Bai Yunshu, who felt puzzled but nodded.
"good."
The two of them gradually walked away, and Nan Lezhi seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Elder Nan, just speak frankly. There's no need to hide anything."
Bai Yunshu noticed that she was conflicted, so he just spoke frankly.
Nan Lezhi smiled.
"When I was teaching earlier, I noticed the child you observed today."
The white cloud book looks calm.
"Her name is Yin Huan, what's wrong?"
Nan Lezhi's expression suddenly became serious.
"Elder Ying Su, do you think this is a coincidence? She looks so similar to your eldest disciple. Are you planning to use her as a substitute?"
Bai Yunshu panicked when she asked him this question.
"How could that be? Why do you say that?"
She looked into the distance and gently stroked her wrist with her other hand.
The wound under the bandage on her wrist ached, and her restless mood calmed down a little.
substitute?
It's been so long since I heard this word again.
Nan Lezhi is good at observing people's words and expressions and can point out the problem with just one word.
"There's something wrong in your eyes. Is it because of her that you accepted her as your disciple? I think you know better than anyone else, Elder Ying Su. She can't possibly be your eldest disciple."
"I... simply want to take in a disciple. Elder Nan, you're being a bit too nosy. I'm not like others who seek to use someone as a substitute for entertainment."
Bai Yunshu had a wry smile on his face.
Geng Jihuan was right just now. Nan Lezhi did have a romantic past, but it was somewhat sad.
Nan Lezhi was not called this name before, nor was he a member of Xuanyingzong's family.
Her former sect leader was attracted by her beauty and qualifications, and accepted her as his disciple, teaching her carefully.
As they were getting along, the clan leader deliberately teased them, and eventually the two fell in love.
But this goes against the common customs, so others naturally would not allow it. They all said that she was immoral and seducing her master.
She thought that as long as she didn't care, worldly words would not hurt them and they could still stay together.
But she discovered that her master's kindness was only to provide her lover with a suitable furnace, dressing him up, and practicing swordsmanship, all of which were directed towards her.
When she looked at the portraits and secret techniques in the secret compartment, she realized that her master had a lover who had been dead for two hundred years.
No wonder some people in the sect always have pity in their eyes when they see me... and even a hint of mockery, as if they are looking at a clown.
She knew that the soul of her lover had always been in the hands of her master, but she had never been able to find a cauldron with a similar appearance. Until he met her, she set her sights on her.
Drinking together under the moon, dancing with swords and flowers together, the sweet words of staying together are all fake, so fake that they can't be more fake.
Fortunately, she and he did not do anything inappropriate, because the master said that he would wait until he could marry her and when everyone in the world agreed.
She believed it at the time and only blamed herself for being stupid. She didn't think about how that day would come. He didn't touch her only because he needed a complete body, and she was just a substitute.
Nan Lezhi did not make a fuss, but asked to leave the sect, saying that he coveted his master and was not worthy of being a disciple anymore.
She wanted to leave, but was imprisoned and fed poison, and her cultivation was almost destroyed.
The gentle man had already changed his appearance. He grabbed her neck and said, "Be good. Just wait for the time to come and become a container. It won't be painful. I will still love you in this form."
Somehow, this matter reached Bai Yunshu's ears.
At that time, Bai Yunshu was polishing her sword, and every derogatory word from the outside world fell into her ears.
She didn't understand why everyone blamed the woman? Why did they say she deserved it? Whenever something happened, the woman was always the first to be blamed.
Her joy was in vain, and she was still accused of being shameless. Does this mean her master is always right? Or is he right only because of his status as a man?
Nan Lezhi was unwilling to give up, so after finding an opportunity, he fell into the devil's way, broke free from the chains, and killed his way out of the sect.
She went on a killing spree and her body was covered with wounds.
But due to the huge disparity in strength, she was surrounded by her lover at the sect gate.
She almost slaughtered the entire sect, and he was the only one left who could trap her.
She seized the soul-sealing cup that contained the soul and threatened her former lover to let her go.
But he failed, as the man took advantage of her severe injuries and stabbed her in the chest.
"It doesn't matter. It's just a furnace. In another hundred years, I'm sure I'll find one more similar."
Later, when she fell down, Bai Yunshu came from nowhere and saved her life.
Bai Yunshu was just glad that he arrived in time.
Her sect was hard to find. When she fell inside, the ground was full of blood and there was no one alive. She searched for a long time before she found the sect entrance.
Bai Yunshu held a long sword, knocked her cheap master to the ground, and then released the soul from the soul-sealing cup, allowing it to go to the road of reincarnation.
Upon seeing this, the master was so angry that he spat out blood and fainted.
Bai Yunshu originally wanted to kill him to vent his anger, but when he turned around, he found that Nan Lezhi was about to die.
Later, Bai Yunshu carried her back to Xuanying, found someone to treat her, and talked to her a lot.
"Change your name and cultivate in Xuanying from now on. I have also helped you to channel the evil spirit within you. You are just you, no longer anyone's substitute, and you will no longer be anyone's cauldron."
