Nine Heavens Bow
"Your mind is filled with distractions, and you have never been clear about why you picked up the bow; this is restlessness. You are indecisive and unsure of how to shoot the arrow; this is insincerity."
"I take up the bow for justice and shoot arrows for righteousness." Jiang Yingyue gave her answer. The next second, a golden point of light appeared in front of her, and Jiang Yingyue unconsciously swallowed.
"It's true that you take up a bow for justice, but if you're really shooting arrows for righteousness, then besides shooting Bai Yu, your arrows should also be aimed at someone else. Would you do that?"
Jiang Yingyue understood its meaning all too well. Back at Tingyu Tower, the question about the soul exchange involved the name of the traitor within the Mingyue Sect, and the answer was naturally Ji Yinglei. From that day forward, Jiang Yingyue had been conflicted. How could that kind and devoted senior sister be the traitor?
Even in the past month or so, she hasn't harmed herself, and Jiang Yingyue is almost convinced that Master Jiang gave the wrong answer back then.
If she were to shoot an arrow for justice, the first person she would kill would be Ji Yinglei. Jiang Yingyue has been running away for so long, but she still can't avoid facing this issue.
"If you can't face it, stop now, and you can live a little longer."
Her eyelashes trembled slightly. In this illusion, Jiang Yingyue could not feel the pain in her hands, nor the pain caused by her unstable soul. But that did not mean that she would give up what she had always insisted on for the sake of this last bit of peace.
“No.” Her voice revealed an unprecedented resolve. “My hesitation is not about whether or not to kill the traitor, but because for so many days I have seen her helping me and protecting me. Since she shot the arrow for justice, I cannot kill the wrong person.”
"What makes you think that the answer given by Tingyulou is wrong?"
"I also used that loophole to stall Bai Yu. If Lord Jiang's answer is really wrong, I will not forgive myself." Jiang Yingyue's thoughts were pulled back to a month ago. Tingyu Tower could only give the truth, and at that time, she had just handed over part of her soul in exchange for the answer.
In this way, Jiang Yingyue was simultaneously in Hangzhou and Tingyu Tower. This is why she insisted on waiting for Jiang Shiyi's signal before leaving. If she left the area of Hangzhou, Jiang Shiyi's answer would immediately change, and Bai Yu would also know their location.
"In the end, you are still not honest." The golden light transformed into Ji Yinglei's appearance, standing in front of Jiang Yingyue with an expressionless face. Ji Yinglei had never acted like that in front of her before.
Jiang Yingyue was also heartbroken. On the boat, she didn't know how to face Ji Yinglei: "Since that's the case, I will swear an oath to you."
"If I find evidence that she is a traitor, I will avenge my fellow disciples with my own hands. If I fail to do so by then, you can take my life through our contract."
A burst of light blinded Jiang Yingyue, and she struggled to lift her head. She saw that the Nine Heavens Bow had appeared in front of her at some point, and the scene just now made it hard to tell whether it was a dream or reality.
The golden crow totem on the altar had now turned blood red. Jiang Yingyue's hand trembled as she reached towards the heavens—the gleaming Kunlun wood, its curved shape as smooth as water, was simply a perfect weapon. The moment Jiang Yingyue touched it, she immediately felt that a missing part of her body had been filled; now her soul was finally complete.
Jiang Yingyue was immersed in excitement when she suddenly heard Ye Qingzhu and Ji Yinglei's voices from behind. They were coming towards her.
