"Wait," Huo Yuntian said slowly, "Ayun, are you finally satisfied now?"
Xie Yun didn't say anything, but looked at Huo Yuntian silently, with a slight doubt in his eyes.
In just half a day, Huo Yuntian's spine became much more bent, revealing a bit of aging.
He said with a mocking tone: "You have done so much to defeat Min Xuan, isn't it for..."
"..." Xie Yun finally understood what he wanted to say and said calmly: "I didn't mean that."
"What?" Huo Yuntian seemed to have heard some huge joke.
"As long as I can take care of the Xie family's assets," Xie Yun smiled, "I'll be content."
He continued, "As for what you think of me, that is not something I can control."
After so many years, Xie Yun is no longer the boy who was full of grievances and unwillingness.
Moreover, Xie Yun glanced at An Meng calmly, and the latter looked depressed and full of thoughts.
They have more important things to do now.
The two of them just walked away in front of Huo Yuntian.
"Am I..." Huo Yuntian leaned heavily into the mahogany chair and sighed almost inaudibly, "Old?"
-
On the way back, there was still silence in the car.
An Meng sat quietly in her chair on the surface, but she was arguing fiercely with Yun Xi in her mind.
An Meng: "I don't agree to let Xie Yun take this risk."
"He told you?" Yun Xi sighed, "I thought..."
An Meng said angrily, "It's a good thing he told me! Otherwise, would I have to wait until his body was gone before I could hear it from you?"
To be fair, she was very grateful to Xie Yun for telling her frankly.
If he really was so self-righteous as to hide it from her and silently act as the savior, he would think that it was an extremely noble sacrifice.
Then An Meng will hate him for the rest of her life!
"Yunxi," An Meng continued, "I disagree, not just because of Xie Yun. I want to stay in this world and don't want it to be swallowed by Bihua. Is this reason enough?"
Yun Xi was shocked and asked, "Are you really planning this?"
She didn't expect An Meng to make such a decision.
In Yunxi's imagination, after everything is over, An Meng will follow her back to Lingxi Mountain, or embark on the long journey of cultivating immortals, repeating everything she and Bihua have experienced.
Thinking this in his mind, Yunxi said it out loud.
"Yes," An Meng said firmly, "Yunxi, I really think so. I may change my mind in the future, but at this moment, this is exactly what I think."
Having lived here for more than twenty years, An Meng has already developed an inseparable attachment to this world.
No matter how good it is to cultivate immortality, can she really bear to give up everything in this world and embark on that lonely and cold road to heaven alone?
The path to immortality is difficult to achieve, yet the mortal world is hard to let go.
"Yunxi, do you think I am cut out for becoming an immortal?" An Meng asked sincerely.
"Why not?" Yun Xi asked anxiously, "You are obviously gifted and intelligent, with deep spiritual roots since childhood..."
"No," An Meng shook her head. "I know I'm not cut out for that. The path to becoming an immortal is extremely difficult. Over the years, I've come to realize that I'm just an ordinary person."
After a long stalemate.
"In that case," Yun Xi took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, "I have another plan."
"What?" An Meng was overjoyed.
If you have other ways, please speak up as soon as possible.
Yunxi's tone was filled with an unspeakable heaviness: "This method is very risky and requires your participation. If it fails, you will—"
"What will happen to me?"
Yun Xi said awkwardly, "It vanished into thin air."
The chilling meaning behind these four short words is chilling.
"It vanished into thin air..." An Meng murmured softly, "Will nothing be left behind?"
That’s right, she was originally the incarnation of Bihua’s obsession.
But now she wants to be a human being.
Yun Xi was silent, with complicated emotions rising in her heart. Rationally, she knew that she had to respect An Meng's wishes.
Emotionally, she really couldn't bear the urge to knock An Meng unconscious and then continue with her original plan.
"Tell me about it," An Meng said, "You have to tell me what method you want to use before I can make a decision."
Yun Xi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Qingze's soul is out of his body, and his body is unconscious."
"Um."
"Bihua always carries the cold jade coffin containing Qingze by her side, even when she is resting."
After hearing this, An Meng already had a vague idea.
Yun Xi said, "I have a technique that can allow your soul to temporarily leave your body and enter Qingze's body."
An Meng opened her eyes wide in surprise and interrupted, "Can it really be done?"
It can be done, but it will consume spiritual energy.
However, Yunxi didn't say it out loud, and nodded: "Yes, the next result is very risky. You need to deceive Bihua and get close to her."
acting?
An Meng suddenly became excited: "And then?"
"Wear this," Yun Xi took off something hanging around his neck and showed it to An Meng, "This is the sub-lock of the God-asking Lock."
"The Mother Lock is on me," she said. "I only recently discovered another use for the God-Questioning Lock. It can imprison cultivators who have reached the Great Accomplishment stage."
"So magical?" An Meng stared at the ordinary-looking little lock in Yunxi's hand.
Yunxi smiled faintly and explained to her in detail how to use the God-Questioning Lock.
"Bihua is very familiar with my aura. She will notice it once I get close to her. And with my current level..." Yunxi said bitterly, "I am no match for her."
"But I will use the God-Questioning Lock to hide in the cracks of time and space. Once..."
She suddenly stopped talking and paused for a moment before continuing, "If Bihua finds out anything's wrong, I'll come and rescue you."
An Meng nodded, knowing in her heart that Yun Xi's "rescue" might very well be a fight to the death, and might not necessarily end well.
After a while, the car slowly stopped. Xie Yun called An Meng softly, "What are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought that you didn't say a word the whole way."
He was a little uncomfortable because he suddenly couldn't hear An Meng's voice.
If he could hear it, he would know what An Meng was thinking.
Xie Yun was very disappointed about this.
An Meng's eyes rolled and she said vaguely, "I'm thinking about your grandpa."
“……?”
"Look, Huo Minxuan is ruined now, and his father is a good-for-nothing. The Huo family's huge fortune, when the old man passes away, won't it still belong to you?"
“…”
