Chapter 19: A star in the sky, a candle on earth



Just as Chen Kuang thought, her smile was indeed extremely beautiful and cold.

When those eyes curved, it was like a cold moon hanging over a sparse toon tree, freezing all the branches in the world, making people feel sad.

But the smile in Shen Xingzhu's eyes flashed away like an illusion, and all that was left was endless coldness. His eyes were like clear and deep pools of water, with peach blossoms falling on them, which was beautiful beyond words. The water three feet above the surface of the pool was crystal clear at first glance.

However, when people want to get closer and explore, they will find that there is no bottom below three feet.

She looked at Chen Kuang and said nothing.

Chen Kuang repeated it again:

"Am I right, Master Immortal?"

Shen Xingzhu was silent for a while, then said calmly:

"You are indeed very courageous."

She said the same thing when she first came in, commenting that Chen Kuang was very brave.

At that time, what she meant by this sentence was that Chen Kuang was taking a risky tactic of sowing discord in order to split Li Hongling and Wei Su, creating a gap in the enemy and causing them to collapse from within.

But in the end, due to information asymmetry, they overlooked the outsider Shen Xingzhu, which led to a complete loss.

Although he is very brave, he may not be very capable.

There is some underestimation in it.

At this moment, she made the same comment again, but her attitude was completely different.

Chen Kuang nodded, raised the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely:

"It seems I was right."

Shen Xingzhu: “…”

Seeing that Shen Xingzhu remained silent, he changed his previous depressed attitude, looked playful, and said to himself:

"It turns out that the Fairy of Mercy, who is admired by everyone, actually uses compassion as bait to fish for sentient beings."

"Since you are here to preach, you must be traveling around."

"Let me guess—wherever you go, you do nothing but tell everyone your own 'Tao'. Then, no matter how they try to test you, you turn a blind eye."

"Just like Li Hongling..."

"They were surprised to find that you seemed to be sanctimonious, high and mighty, pursuing only your own way and not caring at all about the lives of others."

"When cultivators fight and ordinary people kill each other, you don't care."

"So she's just a clay Buddha. Then it's okay to do a little bit of it where she can't see, right? She's just talking and not doing anything, anyway."

Chen Kuang's eyes flickered and he said:

"But who could have known that after this soft clay statue melted, it would reveal a deadly blade hidden within."

He chuckled and sat in the darkness, looking at Shen Xingzhu:

"Since the Immortal Master says I'm bold, I might as well make a bold guess. Could the Immortal Master's name be Bai Jingjing?"

All the morality and compassion are just her Pansi Cave.

Anyone who is willing to take the bait will die.

Under mercy, no body is left.

This is not a fairy at all. Under the black clothes and green gauze, she is simply a female spider that chooses its prey. She retreats again and again, and then quietly waits for others to step into her trap.

Shen Xingzhu frowned, unable to understand his nonsense.

Who is Bai Jingjing?

"Shen Xingzhu... My name is Shen Xingzhu, the eternal star in the sky, a candle on earth, not Bai Jingjing."

Shen Xingzhu argued seriously and softly.

Chen Kuang raised the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically:

"A candle for the world? Do you mean you want to hold a candle and light a fire for everyone, or kick over the candlestick and burn everyone?"

He spoke rudely, but Shen Xingzhu didn't seem angry at all.

She asked:

"You think what I did was wrong?"

Chen Kuang said, "From my point of view, the Zhou Kingdom was wrong from the very beginning. How many people died when Daliang was destroyed? This incident should not have happened from the beginning."

"Your current actions may seem like you're not helping anyone, but in reality, you're siding with the Zhou Kingdom, which is tantamount to aiding and abetting the evil."

Shen Xingzhu raised his head and said, "How do you know that Liang State is not at fault?"

"If Su Yu hadn't spoken rudely and insulted the ancestors of the Great Zhou, there wouldn't have been this battle. Everyone knows this."

Chen Kuang was speechless. He really didn't know about this...

If that's the case, in this feudal ancient society, Liang State was really not in the right to directly insult other people's ancestors.

He cursed in his heart, this damn Emperor Liang, he was not at peace even after his death, and he still wanted to trick him!

Chen Kuang coughed dryly, looked at Shen Xingzhu, and said loudly:

"None of this matters now... You used your own Dao as bait to lure and kill the cultivators. That's the truth."

"If you want to tell them that I'm not blind and that I want to sow discord between Li Hongling and Wei Su, then that's fine. I'm confident that I can continue to threaten Li Hongling and make her compromise."

The young man laughed:

"But at the same time, I will tell her your true identity."

Shen Xingzhu's eyes were calm, but his drooping hands clenched involuntarily. He said, "She won't believe it. You have no evidence."

Chen Kuang said: "Heh... I don't need evidence."

"No one is stupid. As long as one person realizes this, everyone will start to unravel the mystery and think back to what you did in the past."

“Maybe at first, they’ll defend you, but what about next?”

"Will you stop?"

The young man in the cell was wearing a dirty white linen shirt and asked soul-searching questions. He was wearing chains and was clearly a prisoner.

The woman in black standing opposite was spotless and radiant.

One sitting, one standing, one white, one black.

No matter who looks at it, the difference in status is obvious.

But Shen Xingzhu had an illusion, as if the person being looked down upon in the cell was not the musician, but herself.

"You won't."
