Chapter 55: Nan Liujing Seeks Death (Part 1) Patriarch Li is stunned again...
Patriarch Li was stunned again. So Youyang's partner was the now-popular Bei Liyuan, the head of the Bei family? What was so special about Youyang that he attracted so many people?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Youyang again, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Whether it's Nan Liujing or Bei Liyuan, this marriage is greatly beneficial to the Li family, but if it's not handled properly and offends the other party...
Nan Liujing said coldly, "Next to the Three Lives Stone is a Marriage Crystal. When lovers touch it, it lights up with a rainbow of light. Otherwise, it remains unresponsive. Since Fellow Daoist Bei says you and Youyang are in love, let's test it. If the crystal lights up, I won't mention this matter again. If not, Fellow Daoist Bei and Youyang will remove the Couple Mark. How do you do that?"
Bei Liyuan smiled and said, "Okay, it takes a day to get from Yunshan Sect to the Three Lives Stone. How about a test in three days?"
Nan Liujing looked at Luo Yinzhu and said, "Sect Master Luo, please excuse me and Elder Chen for taking the trouble."
…
Two days later, the two retrieved the crystal and temporarily placed it in the treasure pavilion.
That night, Fu Guangjun replaced the spirit stone without anyone noticing.
On the day of the test, Luo Yinzhu and others arrived at the main hall early to wait.
After Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan arrived, Luo Yinzhu personally opened the box and took out the crystal.
"It seems that Sect Master Nan is very confident."
Nan Liujing elegantly picked up the teacup. "Master only became a Daoist partner with Bei Liyuan to avoid trouble. This crystal stone won't react unless it's been replaced."
Fu Guangjun curled his lips and said, "It's hard to say. Youyang is not someone who would easily form a Taoist partner. If this crystal stone lights up, then Sect Master Nan will be completely out of the game."
Nan Liujing raised his lips to smile. As long as he was alive, he was not out of the game. After getting married, he would slowly make Li Youyang change his mind and see his good side.
"Just put your hands on the crystal."
Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan nodded and did as they were told. The moment their hands touched the crystal, it emitted a brilliant light. Fu Guangjun was not surprised. He had replaced all the stones, so it would be strange if it didn't shine!
Nan Liujing stood up in shock, his teacup shattered in his fist in a rage! Impossible! How could Master truly be so attracted to Bei Liyuan!!!
Patriarch Li looked at Nan Liujing and said, "Master Nan, it seems that Youyang and Patriarch Bei are indeed in love with each other. I can only return the betrothal gifts you sent me. Both families..."
Nan Liujing said solemnly, "No need. Since it has been sent out, Patriarch Li can handle it on his own. Elder Chen, return to Guanhe Sword Sect."
…
Bei Liyuan readily agreed. Nan Liujing naturally expected Bei Liyuan to tamper with the crystal, so he began to watch it early in the morning. After Fu Guangjun replaced the crystal, he even went to replace the crystal with a real one himself. However, he didn't expect...
Inside the tomb, Nan Liujing looked at Li Youyang's corpse and said solemnly, "Li Youyang, how could you really fall in love with someone else? How could you! In order to call you back, I have experienced life and death several times over the past hundred years, but in the end, you fell in love with someone else! This is really ridiculous! Absurd!"
"Li Youyang, you are always like this, always unwilling to help me. It was like this a hundred years ago, and it is still like this a hundred years later. You are truly my good master!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently stroked Li Youyang's black hair: "Is this the only way for you to be obedient? Why can't you be more obedient? Why do you have to force me to imprison you by my side!"
…
Three days later, Li Youyang and the others were summoned to the study by Luo Yinzhu again. "I asked you to come here because Sect Master Nan wants to stay in our Yunshan Sect for a few days. I thought Chengyan Hall is relatively quiet and won't disturb him too much, so I arranged for him to stay here temporarily. Please don't neglect Sect Master Nan."
Nangong Liuchu glanced at Nan Liujing, who was sitting beside him drinking tea. He was really impressed. Why did he still bother her? "If you're afraid of disturbing us, why did you come to our Yunshan Sect? Wouldn't it be better for Sect Master Nan to return to Guanhe Sword Sect?"
Luo Yinzhu frowned slightly and coughed twice deliberately to remind him. Lie Wushuang said coldly, "Sect Master, the Chengyan Palace is used to being quiet and peaceful, and we really don't like outsiders staying there."
Luo Yinzhu held his forehead with his hand. He felt like a coward as the sect leader. He didn't dare to offend anyone. He could only look at Li Youyang and said in a deep voice, "Elder Li, what do you think?"
Without waiting for Li Youyang to speak, Nan Liujing said softly, "Master Luo, don't worry. You can find a guest room next to the Chengyan Palace."
Luo Yinzhu looked embarrassed. "But the guest room next to Chengyan Hall is just a spare room. No one has lived there for a long time. Not only is it small and shabby..."
Nan Liujing: "No problem."
Luo Yinzhu nodded: "Okay, I'll have someone clean out a room right away. Does Sect Master Nan have any other needs?"
Nan Liujing shook his head. "As long as it's closest to Chengyan Palace, it's fine. Sect Master Luo, I'd like to tour Yunshan Sect. Could Elder Li lead the way?"
Nangong Liuchu smiled and said, "This is really unfortunate. Sect Master Nan can find anyone except our Master."
Nan Liujing's eyes darkened.
Nangong Liuchu added, "Because our master is directionally challenged and rarely goes out, he might not be as familiar with the Yunshan Sect as you are."
Luo Yinzhu agreed: "That's right, or I can look for another one..."
Nan Liujing interrupted: "Not far, just near Chengyan Palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bei Liyuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Nan Liujing curled his lips coldly, flashed forward, took out a pill and forcefully fed it to Bei Liyuan, while using his spiritual energy to heal his wounds.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "I was reckless before and hurt Fellow Daoist Bei. I feel extremely guilty. I will give all the divine healing pills in this bottle to Fellow Daoist Bei. I hope you can forgive me."
After saying this, he stuffed the porcelain bottle into Bei Liyuan's hand without giving him a chance to refuse.
Bei Liyuan lowered his eyes and silently clenched the porcelain bottle.
Nan Liujing turned to look at Li Youyang: "Elder Li, could you please lead the way for me?"
Lie Wushang and the other party were about to speak, but Nan Liujing said solemnly, "Sect Master Luo, do your disciples have no schoolwork?"
Luo Yinzhu hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes. Bei Liyuan, Nangong Liuchu, and Lie Wushuang, the three of you come with me. I need to explain something to you."
Seeing the three people didn't move, Luo Yinzhu said solemnly: "Do you think that your cultivation is high enough that I, the sect leader, can't order you around?"
Li Youyang said: "It's okay, you guys go ahead."
The three of them hesitated slightly, and finally followed Luo Yinzhu away.
…
Li Youyang followed Nan Liujing to the cold spring in the back mountain. Nan Liujing stopped and said, "I always thought that if you saw the changes in me, you would soften your heart and at least not drive me away. But now I realize that I was wrong. You are actually more heartless than anyone else."
Li Youyang: "I've already said..."
Nan Liujing interrupted with a smile, "Youyang Divine Lord is dead. It seems you truly intend to disown me forever. I made so many mistakes in the past, but you always pampered me and never punished me. That's how I thought you'd forgive me no matter what I did wrong as long as I admitted my mistakes. But now you've suddenly become so heartless. How can I cope with this? Since things are like this, you shouldn't have indulged me in the first place."
Li Youyang frowned.
Nan Liujing suddenly grabbed Li Youyang's arm and pulled him into his arms: "Your indulgence of me was the cause of my downfall back then. This is the result of that cause. I will bear it, and you can only bear it too."
Li Youyang's eyes darkened.
Nan Liujing continued, "Do you know why I got angry and hurt Bei Liyuan that day? Because he told me that he and you had practiced dual cultivation together. In my heart, Master is a flower on the mountaintop, the bright moon in the sky, how could he possibly touch you? I was furious that he dared to destroy your reputation like that, and that's why... but now... ha! I'm just a joke. We were in love, and I think you were happy at that time, too."
Li Youyang lowered his gaze and said coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"
Nan Liujing laughed: "What does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with me? Then what are these hundred years of my life worth? Li Youyang, I tried my best to pull you back, not to watch you lovingly stay with someone else."
Then she lowered her head and whispered softly into Li Youyang's ear, "Li Youyang, you can hate me and dislike me, but you can't abandon me. I will cling to you until death in this life. No... even if you die, I will drag you back to continue clinging to me. Ten days from now will be an auspicious day. I have ordered people to prepare for our wedding. Just be good and don't do anything unnecessary. It will be good for both of us."
Li Youyang's eyes were as cold as ice: "Lord Youyang is dead, and the past relationship is over. Why are you still clinging to it?"
Nan Liujing suddenly laughed and said gloomily, "I killed you and became your enemy. How can that be considered the end of our past relationship? Even if it is true as you said, then we can start a new relationship. Since I can't get your pity, then it's good for you to hate me."
Li Youyang said coldly: "Nan Liujing..."
"Shh!" Nan Liujing said softly, "Don't open your mouth. You always say things I don't want to hear. If you don't want the Yunshan Sect to be flooded with blood in ten days, then wait patiently for the wedding."
Bang!
Li Youyang slapped Nan Liujing hard in the face.
Nan Liujing was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Sure enough, only by doing this can you see me and feel some emotions because of me."
Li Youyang's eyes were cold: "I thought you had changed."
A hundred years ago, Nan Liujing hadn't noticed. Now, he truly saw Li Youyang's disappointment in him, and his heart ached to the point of suffocation. However, having taken this step, there was no turning back. He silently clenched his fists and said, "Master, you have never understood me from the beginning to the end. The lives of all living beings in the world are not as important to me as your smiles and frowns. I can protect all living beings for you, but I can also become a knife to slaughter all living beings for you. If you truly want peace in this world, then stay by my side and watch over me carefully."
Li Youyang turned around. He didn't want to stay with Nan Liujing for even a moment longer.
Nan Liujing grabbed his arm and said, "It's still early, and the weather is beautiful. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Are you going to accompany Bei Liyuan?!"
Li Youyang looked coldly at Nan Liujing's hand that was holding his arm. Nan Liujing subconsciously wanted to let go, but then he tightened his grip and pulled her into his arms. "You and I are about to get married, there's no need to be so reserved."
Li Youyang frowned, and Nan Liujing touched the center of Li Youyang's eyebrows with his fingertips: "It's not good to frown."
As she spoke, her fingertips slid upwards and landed on Li Youyang's lips: "How did you feel when Bei Liyuan kissed you?"
Li Youyang's eyes darkened.
Nan Liujing smiled and let go of the man. "You taught me etiquette yourself, so I won't be as rude as Bei Liyuan. I won't touch you before we're married. I know you have a thousand ways to escape, even death, but you can escape, but Yunshan Sect can't, Yunshan can't, and no one in this world can escape. If I don't see you on the day of the wedding, I will massacre a whole town every day until you come to marry me."
Li Youyang lightly moved his sword finger and a teleportation formation was formed to return to the room. He was really too lazy to listen to Nan Liujing's crazy words anymore.
