"Chen... Brother Chen?" Xu Ling'er was stunned.
Just as he was about to make a move, you, disguised as a passerby, immediately jumped out: "Wait a minute, what makes you say she's an imposter?"
[In his anger, Chen Kongyu didn't immediately kill the "imposter" in front of him, but instead started arguing with you.]
He needed to "convince himself," and by persuading others, to solidify his own correctness and prove that he was not wrong.
"My Ling'er isn't that old, not that ugly! She's clearly a beautiful, youthful girl!"
"Idiot!" you yelled, pointing your finger at his nose. "Then let me ask you, weren't you taken in by the Misty Sect ninety years ago? Weren't you, huh?"
Chen Kongyu nodded subconsciously.
"Then let me ask you again, is your Ling'er an ordinary person? Answer me, is she?"
Chen Kongyu opened his mouth: "...Yes."
"Then let me ask you another question: will an ordinary person get old after ninety years? I'm asking you, will she get old?!"
【"meeting……"】
You angrily point at Chen Ling'er: "So what if she's getting old? She's just old, sigh, she's just old!"
She then glanced at Chen Kongyu indifferently: "What, is she no longer your Ling'er like this?"
Yun Shou let out a deep breath. The tenth elder really valued that disciple. According to his original form, he should be waiting for this scumbag to make a move, and then give him a desperate counterattack.
Yun Shi's words, though seemingly just trash talk and a satisfying outburst, also subtly hinted at waking Chen Kongyu up.
This is Chen Kongyu's last chance, the last chance to prevent him from hurting Xu Ling'er! It's also his last chance to save himself!
Chen Kongyu remained silent, then looked again at the old man not far away.
He approached, gazing at Xu Ling'er's aged face, and slowly reached out to touch her cheek.
Xu Ling'er reached out a wrinkled, aged hand, took Chen Kongyu's hand, and pressed it against her face.
Tears streamed down her face, and the wrinkles on her body gradually faded, though very slowly, almost as if the wrinkles created by different expressions were being stretched out.
"Brother Chen..."
She spoke.
The still-hoarse, mocking voice, and the lingering scent of old-fashioned perfume that filled Chen Kongyu's nostrils, became the final straw that broke the camel's back, pushing it to the brink of losing control.
[Just as Xu Ling'er had recovered from looking like a hundred-year-old to eighty, her life ended.]
【"Huff!"】
Chen Kongyu's reminiscing and sentimental expression quickly twisted into extreme nausea and vomiting—he couldn't take it anymore, he simply couldn't!
[The nausea you're trying to suppress will, once it erupts, be absolutely unbearable!]
"How can you be so ugly? How can you be so old... How can I spend my life with an old thing like you?!"
He stumbled back several steps, covering his nose, his eyes filled with utter disgust: "I'm a genius martial artist! I'm a Xiantian master! My destined Ling'er should be young and beautiful! She should at least look the same as before..."
"This isn't her at all!"
"You don't deserve to be her!"
[Chen Kongyu made the announcement, then leaped high into the air, his inner energy transforming into a giant ruler, which he then slammed down on the houses below.]
The small wooden house where Xu Ling'er was located was destroyed and collapsed, with wood chips and dust flying everywhere and smoke billowing in all directions. Chen Kongyu was panting heavily.
"It should be like this... My Ling'er has long since turned to dust, yet she remains the same as before, waiting for me so desperately..."
Chen Kongyu was deceiving himself, moved to tears by the story he had created in his mind.
Then he suddenly turned his head and stared intently at you: "You, you dared to mislead me, making me almost mistake an old woman! You deserve to die!"
This time, he raised his right hand high, his inner energy transforming into a giant palm, ready to crush you like an insect!
A figure appeared behind him.
[Boom!]
Chen Kongyu crashed to the ground, caught completely off guard and suffering a severe blow due to the relatively weak physique of humans. He landed hard, causing the earth to crack and dust to rise, his internal organs injured and him coughing up blood.
[Just as he was about to get up, it felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. You used the energy of heaven and earth to firmly suppress him, forcing him to remain in a prostrate position, at most raising his head.]
The powerful energy that was about to burst forth from his body was instantly disintegrated by you.
Behind him, accompanied by footsteps, a woman walked towards you.
The woman appears to be in her forties, indicating she was beautiful in her youth and would still retain her charm even by today's standards.
But she grew younger and younger, thirty, twenty, sixteen or seventeen, just like... just like the girl Chen Kongyu remembered.
"Ling'er, it's me, Ling'er!" Chen Kongyu was in a worse state than a monkey trapped under Five Finger Mountain, only his head could move. He exclaimed joyfully, "It's your brother Chen, it's me, Chen Kongyu!"
Yun Shou: ...
"Isn't this sand blocking the wind from your clothes?"
But the young girl didn't even glance at him. She knelt before you and bowed, her once light and lively voice now chillingly cold.
"Thank you for the reminder, Master. Thank you... Master, for letting me see all of this clearly!"
You look at her quietly: "So, what about him? What have you decided to do?"
You're a little worried, so you remind me: "If you feel you're not too badly hurt right now, then you might want to think about this—what would this reunion have been like if I hadn't been there?"
Xu Ling'er gently shook her head: "I know, Master."
