Let it be
They had sat here more than once to chat and admire the moon, like lovers who had been in love for a long time.
"Why aren't you sleeping so late?" Leng Yue asked.
"Aren't you the same?" Mingri said.
"I'm different. I woke up." Leng Yue said, "I'm sorry for hurting you during the day."
"It's okay." Mingri looked up at the moon without looking at her.
Leng Yue laughed at herself, "Sometimes I feel I'm much better than others, and sometimes I feel I'm nothing special. If I'm truly exceptional, then it's lonely at the top; if I'm mediocre, then it's only natural that no one cares about me. In a word, being alone is what I deserve."
Mingri turned his head and looked at her quietly.
Leng Yue smiled. "Someone once told me that because I was too outstanding, he was not worthy of me, so he found a woman who was said to be worthy of him. Someone else once told me that if I could lower my standards, many people would like me. However, I lowered my standards to a level that I could not bear, and still no one was interested. Tell me, am I good or bad?"
"You're fine." Mingri said.
"Really?" Leng Yue continued, "I once hated these so-called good qualities, because this kind of 'good' made me feel lonely and worthless. If a person can't be accepted and recognized because they have 'too many advantages', then are these so-called advantages actually strengths or weaknesses?"
Mingri had never heard Lengyue talk about herself before, and she had never expected such a sad past. For a moment, Mingri didn't know how to respond, so she just listened quietly.
"Leng Yue always has some self-righteous ideas, thinking that I'm good and everyone should like me. However, whether others like me or not is their business, but your strengths will always be your strengths. So, young master, don't belittle yourself because of Leng Yue's few words." Leng Yue's words were more like a muttering to herself. She pondered for a moment, then returned to her usual tone and apologized frankly: "To be honest, Leng Yue herself has suffered greatly, and today I failed to consider your feelings. I hope you can forgive me."
Mingri's eyes softened a little, but he still said nothing, just looked at her quietly.
Leng Yue poured a glass of wine and said, "Leng Yue offers a drink to you, young master." After that, she picked up the glass and was about to put it to her mouth.
"Thank you." Mingri held Lengyue's hand, took out the wine glass from her hand, and drank it all. After drinking, he put down the wine glass and said, "Don't drink it."
Leng Yue smiled and nodded.
"Go back and rest." Mingtian got up and prepared to leave.
Leng Yue neither answered nor stood up.
"Miss, do you have something to ask me?"
Leng Yue nodded.
"What is it? Please tell me."
Leng Yue stood up and said slowly:
----"Young Master Nong Yue just came here."
Ban Tianyue remained in seclusion for seven full days before finally healing his injuries. He gathered his inner strength, slowly stood up, and paced back and forth within the temple.
"Luckily, my indestructible Golden Buddha body can still protect me, otherwise... I didn't expect the combined power of the Dragon Goddess and Sima Changfeng's swords to be even more powerful than before. How can I destroy this combined power?"
Bantianyue paced back and forth, feeling anxious and restless.
"Master, this is the secret report that just arrived."
Ban Tianyue opened it and saw four words written on it: "Leng Yue is resurrected."
“Hmph!!!!!!!!!!!!” Bantianyue was furious. He stretched out his arms and smashed the tables and chairs on both sides of the altar into pieces.
"I don't believe I can't kill you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"But now, the number of followers of my Divine Moon Cult is dwindling, and the Golden and Silver Guardians are also... and the combined swords and sabers of the Goddess Dragon and her companions..."
Ban Tianyue fell into deep thought for a long time before saying, "It seems I must expand the power of the Divine Moon Sect and cultivate the indestructible body of the Golden Buddha as soon as possible."
Inside Ouyang Mingri's tomb.
Mingri had placed Nong Yue's body in the main coffin. Leng Yue held two oil bottles in his hands and handed one to Mingri. The two began to add oil to the Seven Star Lamp and lit it.
"To revive Young Master Nong Yue, we must first cure the poison he took before." Leng Yue said.
Mingri pulled out a medicine bottle from his bosom and said, "I have already prepared the antidote, but the blood of a dead person cannot flow. How can I make the antidote work?"
Leng Yue smiled and said, "We still have to use that method."
"Can you do it?" Mingri said, "Let me do it."
Leng Yue smiled and shook her head, saying, "Leng Yue doesn't understand the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, nor the art of prolonging life. What you want to do, young master, is much more complicated than what Leng Yue wants to do."
"Then you have to promise me that you will do what you can and not try to be too aggressive," Mingri said.
Leng Yue agreed: "Don't worry, sir."
Mingri stuffed the pill into Nong Yue's mouth and then helped his body sit up. Leng Yue sat cross-legged behind Nong Yue and began to help him dissipate the drug's effects.
One hour... two hours...
Three hours passed. Leng Yue finally opened her eyes and nodded to Ming Ri with a smile.
Mingri reached out and pulled Lengyue up, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"That's great." Leng Yue said with a smile, "Let's see how he is."
Mingri pulled out his acupuncture kit, pulled out a silver needle, and pricked Nong Yue's finger. Then he withdrew the needle, examined it carefully, and sniffed it. After a moment, his lips curled up in satisfaction as he said with a smile, "The poison has been removed."
"Yeah!" Leng Yue finally felt relieved and couldn't help cheering. When she came to her senses, she found Mingri was looking at her.
Mingri laid Nong Yue's body flat and asked, "What did you just say?"
"It's nothing. I'll feel relieved now that the poison is cured." Leng Yue said with her tongue sticking out.
At this moment, Mingri suddenly grabbed her wrist. Leng Yue was startled and tried to break free.
"Don't move!" Mingri said. Leng Yue had no choice but to stay still, her face flushing red.
After a moment, Mingri let go and asked, "How did you do that?"
Leng Yue smiled and said, "Guess what."
Mingri thought for a moment and said, "When you used this technique before, although you were very skilled, it was very exhausting and mentally taxing. You recently recovered from a serious injury, and logically, you wouldn't be able to withstand such a long treatment, but now you look so energetic. Could it be that you didn't use the same technique as before?"
"The technique is still the same," Leng Yue said, "but Leng Yue realized a truth yesterday. My mentality has changed, and the effect of the treatment has also changed."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."
"The foundation of this technique is breathing. Before, I pushed myself too hard, breathing too quickly and hard, which caused discomfort. I pushed myself too hard because I was too obsessed with the results. I wanted others to get better quickly, and I wanted to control the outcome too much. This ended up hurting myself."
"so?"
"I've been reflecting on why this happened. It wasn't until Young Master Nong Yue showed up that I understood—you'd tried so hard to revive him before but couldn't; it was simply because the timing wasn't right. Now that Young Master Nong Yue has found me, it's precisely because his fate isn't over. This shows that destiny is predestined, and a temporary outcome isn't necessarily the final outcome. So Leng Yue let go of the urge to control, doing his best and leaving the rest to fate. Feeling relieved, the treatment was actually more effective."
"I see," Mingri looked at her with admiration and said with a smile, "I admire your comprehension, young lady."
"It seems that it is quite easy to change the name to call you girl." Leng Yue said with a smile.
Mingri rolled his eyes at her, tilted his lips, and said, "What else?"
Leng Yue said seriously, "In fact, the title of 'Young Master' is the closest name that Leng Yue considers to me. Leng Yue once said that she came here for the Young Master, but she really doesn't dare to have any improper thoughts about the Young Master. Even if Leng Yue likes the Young Master, I'm afraid there are some things that are difficult to do at the moment."
"Then let's do our best and leave the rest to fate." Mingri said with a smile.
"Where's my necklace?"
"Don't you want it?"
"I didn't say I didn't want it. I just asked you to keep it for me."
"Really? I don't want to give it to you anymore."
"How stingy."
In the imperial palace, inside the imperial study.
"Shangguan Yan, how is the training of the elite soldiers going?" asked Chou Doufu.
"Stand by at all times." Shangguan Yan said.
"Big brother hasn't been in the palace recently, and I've been feeling a little uneasy." Chou Doufu said, "I think Ban Tianyue's injury is almost healed. If he makes any moves now, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, City Lord. With Yan'er and I here, Bantianyue won't dare to act rashly." Sima Changfeng said.
"Waiting passively like this is not a solution. I want to organize a team of elite soldiers to attack the Shenyue Sect in the near future. Even if we can't kill Bantianyue, we must weaken his power." said Choudoufu.
"City Lord," Sima Changfeng said hurriedly, "This matter requires careful consideration. We must not take risks rashly. Let's wait until the Imperial Master returns..."
Shangguan Yan gave Sima Changfeng a cold look. Changfeng didn't say anything else.
Stinky Tofu frowned in thought. After a long moment, he said, "Well, let's wait until Big Brother returns to the palace and then we can come up with a foolproof plan. I'm sorry for all the hard work you've put in lately."
Chou Doufu was handling state affairs in the imperial study, while Yan'er and Sima Changfeng were guarding outside the door.
"You still can't let him go?" Yan'er said coldly.
"I..." Sima Changfeng didn't know how to answer.
Yan'er turned away and stopped talking.
Sima Changfeng also frowned and stopped talking.
