Chapter 54 "Then I'll let you cheat."...
Amidst the gentle murmur of water.
The boy squatted down in front of her, looking at her eye to eye. His expression was full of confusion.
Meng Chiwan suddenly had a question: "I don't know... why you're sad, why you feel sorry for me. We've only known each other for a short time..." She burst into tears, her words echoing one another.
Wei Jiyu looked down at the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, which were wet with tears, and asked seriously, "Is it for the owner of these prayer beads?"
Meng Chiwan remained silent. She had no intention of revealing her innermost thoughts to someone who was a complete stranger to her at this moment.
“I don’t know why you’re sad, but if you’re really sad, then cultivate. What if one day you can trample him under your feet and get revenge?” Wei Jiyu said, clearly still carrying a bit of the youthful arrogance that was unique to young people.
Meng Chiwan looked at him and asked a question: "Is this how you usually comfort yourself?"
The boy squatted on the ground and thought for a while, then said, "Not really, I don't seem to have encountered anything that could make me sad."
For a moment, Meng Chiwan forgot everything, with only one thought remaining in her mind: Just how happy, or how carefree, is this?
"How can a person never encounter anything difficult?" Meng Chiwan asked.
“It’s not that I don’t encounter them, it’s just that they are too insignificant in the long course of my life, so I can never remember them. For example, if I meet a poor family that makes me sad, I will help them on the spot; if I meet someone who makes me angry, I will fight back on the spot. So these things can’t enter my heart.” Wei Jiyu carefully organized her words to reply to her, “For example, I am sad because of your sadness right now, so I am comforting you.”
Meng Chiwan gazed into his beautiful eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "But what if I never see this person who makes me sad again?"
Wei Jiyu smiled slightly, then took out a magic disc from her storage bag and handed it to her: "Then think more about happy things."
Meng Chiwan took the magic disc and heard him continue to explain: "This thing is called the Emotion Instrument. It will automatically collect all your emotions. If the magic disc is filled with joyful emotions, it will reward you with something."
"What will be the reward?" Meng Chiwan looked at the magic disc curiously, then looked up and asked.
The young man chuckled softly and asked her gently, "What reward do you want?"
"Anything is fine?" Meng Chiwan asked.
"Do it as best you can." The boy's eyes were full of smiles.
"Then I want the moon in the sky." Meng Chiwan smiled, her smile falling on her pale cheeks, which were covered with a thick layer of mist.
A clumsy attempt to make things difficult.
But the boy's smile widened: "Alright. When the magic disc is full."
Meng Chiwan chuckled, not believing this explanation.
Like coaxing a child.
But in Wei Jiyu's eyes, she was clearly just a child at that moment, having suffered an emotional breakdown.
"Don't you believe me?" Wei Jiyu asked her with a smile.
"I don't believe it," Meng Chiwan said honestly.
"Then you'd better be happy to see if what I said is true or false." Wei Jiyu blinked, his dark hair falling to his shoulders, making his face look even whiter and his whole person look more gentle.
He looked so harmless. His eyes were full of sincerity. He truly seemed like someone who had never experienced the hardships of life.
Meng Chiwan stood up, casually put the Buddhist prayer beads on her wrist, and then asked, "Little Bodhisattva, where did you throw your sister?"
“I sent it out. I hadn’t seen you for a long time, so I thought you might have gotten lost and came back to look for you,” Wei Jiyu said.
Meng Chiwan showed no embarrassment whatsoever: "I'm lost. Could you please guide me out, little bodhisattva?"
"Why do you call me Little Bodhisattva?" The boy asked naturally, a hint of doubt flashing in his beautiful eyes.
"Because she's good-looking and genuinely kind-hearted," Meng Chiwan explained slowly, her voice light and slightly teasing.
The boy's face turned visibly red, like a ripe peach.
Meng Chiwan looked at him and suddenly found it quite amusing. How could someone be so easily embarrassed?
Wei Jiyu's gaze fell on the magic disc in her hand, and he said, "You see, I didn't lie to you. It really does collect emotions."
Meng Chiwan looked down and saw that the energy bar on the magic plate had changed slightly, and the reward progress bar had been filled up a bit.
Then she chuckled softly, "It's growing so slowly."
"Then I'll let you cheat."
The boy took the love device from her hand, then closed his eyes as if making a wish.
Meng Chiwan could clearly see the energy bars on the magic disc growing at a visible speed. She stared at them intently, as if it were a novel experience.
After a long while, Wei Jiyu finally let go of her hand. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was her bright, sparkling eyes. His heart started racing, and a blush crept onto his cheeks.
He took a deep breath, trying to appear calm, and slowly exhaled before saying, "Alright, that's all the emotions I can use to help you today."
Meng Chiwan took the emotional stimulation device, and the energy bar on the magic plate instantly increased again.
Both of them clearly saw it.
Meng Chiwan simply said frankly, "It's okay, I have some myself."
...
After emerging from the secret realm with Wei Jiyu, Meng Chiwan met Wen Liansong.
Wen Liansong waited for her at the exit of the secret realm with Jiang Yi. When she came out, he immediately asked her anxiously if she was alright, and then told her about the accident in the secret realm and Mu Qi's resurrection.
Meng Chiwan answered each question. She was indeed unharmed, and the medicine Wei Ji had given her had been applied to her injuries.
The medicine was quite effective; the wound was already showing signs of healing.
Wen Liansong was relieved after seeing her wound with his own eyes.
Once she felt relieved, Wen Liansong noticed Wei Jiyu following behind her.
She stared at Wei Jiyu in disbelief for several moments, almost reaching out to confirm it.
"Junior Brother Wei? Why are you here?" Wen Liansong couldn't help but ask.
"Senior sister, there's been a problem with the trial. I'm here to rescue people," Wei Jiyu said solemnly.
"I heard that Zhizhi also came to participate in the trial. You came for Zhizhi, right?" Wen Liansong suddenly remembered something and asked.
Wei Jiyu glanced at Meng Chiwan and said gently, "Zhizhi will be fine. I came for Chiwan. Master sent several people to rescue her, and I was assigned to rescue Chiwan. But Chiwan is very capable and doesn't need my help at all."
Wen Liansong nodded: "Then it is fate."
For some reason, Wei Jiyu blushed again upon hearing the word "fate." But he seemed unwilling to be seen by Wen Liansong, so he hurriedly said, "Chi Wan, Senior Sister, I have to go back to report, so I'll take my leave now."
Meng Chiwan nodded gently, and together with Wen Liansong, watched the young man leave.
Suddenly, Wen Liansong said to her, "Chi Wan, do you know who he is?"
Meng Chiwan honestly replied, "I don't know. I only know that they are from the Wei family."
"His surname is Wei, so he must be from the Wei family. Do you know what the Wei family is?"
"I don't know," Meng Chiwan said.
“There are three great families in the cultivation world today: the Yun family, the Wei family, and the Jiang family. Each family is a force to be reckoned with, comparable to the Immortal Alliance. This Wei Jiyu is the young master of the Wei family. He has been a prodigy since childhood. Later, he joined the Immortal Alliance and became its chief disciple. He reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of sixteen. Look, he is currently ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking.” Wen Liansong patiently explained to her.
"What is the Heavenly Ranking?" Meng Chiwan asked honestly.
Wen Liansong: "..." Is that the point?
Meng Chiwan blinked and looked at her.
Wen Liansong: "No, you really don't know? Alright, I'll take you to see it once you officially join the Immortal Alliance."
Afterwards, Wen Liansong took her to handle the matters related to joining the Immortal Alliance. Through the recording in the water mirror in the secret realm, the Immortal Alliance determined that she was qualified to join the Immortal Alliance.
When Meng Chiwan saw the video, she was a little worried that something unusual might be discovered, but she breathed a long sigh of relief when she found out that nothing was wrong.
After going through a series of necessary procedures to enter the sect, Meng Chiwan finally became a formal outer disciple of the Immortal Alliance.
During the initiation ceremony, when someone asked her which peak she wanted to join, Meng Chiwan thought carefully for a moment and finally said firmly, "Canglan Peak."
She couldn't explain why, but Wen Liansong was there. And... she remembered Wei Jiyu's words.
It's hard to say whether she will actually go looking for him, but when she looks at the Love Awakening Device, she can't help but think of Wei Jiyu, so she becomes even more curious about what the so-called reward is and how to get the moon for her.
It's a pity that she hasn't seen Wei Jiyu in the days since she joined the Immortal Alliance. She doesn't know where he went.
Before I knew it, the energy bar on the Dharma disc of the Emotional Arousal Instrument was almost full.
During that time, she kept trying to forget a certain person or a certain event, but no matter what she did, she couldn't do it.
Perhaps it was the effect of time, or perhaps it was because she neglected her heart, but later she felt less and less sad, and instead she would always think of Wei Jiyu's words.
If I ever see Yun Xianqing again, if I could trample him underfoot and stab him a few times, maybe that would be enough to vent my anger.
Therefore, she became more focused on cultivation, and refused Wen Liansong's invitations to go down the mountain to purchase magical artifacts several times.
During the day, I attended some theoretical classes, and at night I diligently practiced my cultivation. Before I knew it, I had stopped eating grains. As a result, I looked even healthier.
Whenever Wen Liansong came to see her, he would always exclaim, "Why has your cultivation improved again!"
Until one day her golden core shattered, giving birth to a nascent soul, Wen Liansong's amazement turned into disbelief.
"You mean you went from the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm in just one month? I bet your name will be on the Heavenly Ranking soon." Wen Liansong asked repeatedly, still unable to believe it, until Meng Chiwan opened her sea of consciousness and showed it to her openly, and only then did she finally believe it.
Wen Liansong couldn't help but think to herself: Why does it seem like things are getting better and better ever since Meng Chiwan stopped being with that immortal lord? Is it just my imagination?
"Your eyes are so determined, it's like you're determined to become number one on the Heavenly Ranking." Wen Liansong said quietly, looking at her focused expression.
Upon hearing this, Meng Chiwan lowered her head.
Number one on the Heavenly Ranking? It doesn't matter.
If only I could return all the suffering I've endured.
"Where is the Yun family you mentioned before?" she asked casually, as if closing her mind.
