Chapter 67: He Huan Sect Master Bai Yueguang 28 Blackening
Cold sweat broke out on Wen Qianning's forehead. After a long while, she finally opened her eyes.
This time, the confusion in his eyes had faded away, replaced by unprecedented clarity.
When they saw her changes, they were stunned at first, then their eyes lit up. Sang Yu was so happy that she almost cried.
"Sect Master, you... finally remembered!"
Wen Qianning nodded slowly, a faint smile appearing on her face.
But... when Wen Qianning thought of Ji Hanlin, her legs almost gave way and she fell to the ground. Only one thought came to her mind: It's over.
She just wanted to die now.
According to the original plot, Wen Qianning should have dumped Ji Hanlin in a crucial scene, making him dissatisfied or even resentful of her, so that he would be attracted to the original heroine instead.
At the beginning, everything went smoothly. The hero left the Hehuan Sect and ascended to become an immortal. The two of them never contacted each other again... But unfortunately, when she lost her memory, he took her back to heaven.
Ji Hanlin had originally harbored resentment towards her and even suspected she was faking amnesia. However, during this period, she had lost her memory and didn't know anything about anything. She just kept clinging to him, using sweet words and coaxing him into softening his heart. Now, his attitude towards her was even worse than before...
Scenes of memories came flooding back, and Wen Qianning wished she could strangle herself to death.
Now that's great. The mission that had never been successful in the first place seems to be impossible now.
Wen Qianning held his forehead with his hand. His mood was in a mess and he had no intention of reminiscing with this group of people.
"By the way," Kui Congling looked around curiously and suddenly asked, "Where's Brother Ji? Why isn't he with you? I was thinking about meeting him!"
Wen Qianning was stunned for a moment before answering, "He...went to the Xiantai to watch martial arts."
No wonder she was touched when she heard the three words "Wenxiantai" at that time. Now, she has recovered her memory and clearly remembers that according to the development of the original novel, at this time on the Wenxiantai, Ji Hanlin should have met the original heroine Shen Xin's eyes.
The heroine Shen Xin is pure and beautiful, which makes her eye-catching. If she has the opportunity at Wenxiantai, her fate with Ji Hanlin will be tied from then on.
Although Wen Qianning felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she changed her mind and thought that perhaps there was still room for improvement in her mission.
Seeing her expression become serious, Sang Yu stepped forward and said, "Master, now that your memory has been restored, will you return to the Huan Sect with us?"
Wen Qianning felt complicated at this moment. After a long silence, he shook his head.
"You guys go back first."
Sang Yu was startled, puzzled: "Sect Master?"
Wen Qianning pursed her lips, her expression very serious: "I still have some things to deal with Ji Hanlin personally. Don't worry, I will be back after I finish..."
"Ah? Are you leaving so soon? I still want to see Brother Ji..." Kui Congling blinked and seemed to want to say something. She looked around at Wen Qianning's face, but was stopped by the look from her brother.
Everyone present could see that Wen Qianning looked unhappy and a little depressed, as if he had something on his mind.
Kui Congling also noticed something strange... She had a vague feeling that the matter between Wen Qianning and Ji Hanlin was far more complicated than she had imagined, but since Wen Qianning was unwilling to say more, she didn't dare to ask any further questions.
"Okay..." she muttered softly, "Then I won't bother Sister Wen and Brother Ji."
Ji Ziming hesitated for a moment, but finally bowed and said, "I obey your orders. If the Sect Master needs you, please send a message at any time."
Wen Qianning forced herself to cheer up and watched them leave.
Not until the palace door closed and the huge palace returned to silence did she sit down on the couch and let out a long breath.
Here in Sendai, the atmosphere is very lively.
A guard quietly stepped forward and whispered in Ji Hanlin's ear, "Your Majesty, someone from the Hehuan Sect...seems to have come to see you just now, and brought something for Sect Master Wen."
Hearing this, Ji Hanlin's heart tightened.
It was clearly just a report from a subordinate, but it made him feel an inexplicable uneasiness, as if everything was sliding in a direction out of control.
He could no longer focus on the competition. He stood up and was about to leave when he heard the surprised voice of Miaoguan Zhenren: "Where are you going, Yaoxuan Immortal Lord? There are several talented disciples who will be meeting later--"
Before he finished speaking, regardless of the surprised looks of everyone, Ji Hanlin flicked his sleeves and went straight to Yaoxuan Palace without hesitation.
…
Inside the palace, Wen Qianning sat alone at the desk. The flickering firelight made her face look a little strange and distant.
When the palace door was pushed open, she looked over.
That indifferent glance actually made Ji Hanlin's heart sink.
"Ningning." He quickened his pace and walked in front of the woman, looking at her carefully.
Wen Qianning also looked back at him quietly without answering immediately.
The air was silent for a long time before she opened her red lips and said in a calm voice, "I have recovered my memory."
Ji Hanlin's body shook almost imperceptibly, a look of disbelief flashing across his eyes: "You... have recovered your memory?"
Wen Qianning said "hmm" softly, without a trace of emotion. At this moment, her expression seemed to have returned to the time when they first separated, her eyes were cold and distant, as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them.
Ji Hanlin's eyes darkened. After finally losing her memory, she snuggled up to him and called him softly, her eyes full of dependence and joy.
During this period of time, he was so happy that he lost himself in joy.
But now, with Wen Qianning's memory restored, everything has returned to the starting point.
He had known that this day would come, but when it finally arrived, Ji Hanlin was unwilling to accept it. He suppressed his panic and reached out to hold her hand: "Ningning..."
Wen Qianning pulled her hand back and avoided looking at him.
"Immortal Lord." Wen Qianning deliberately used an unfamiliar name to address him, hoping to create distance between them. "These past few days... I've offended you so much."
The word "Immortal Lord" made Ji Hanlin's face darken instantly, and a dark tide surged in his eyes: "What are you talking about? What if you regain your memory? You are still you, and we can still get along like this."
Wen Qianning stopped talking and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
Ji Hanlin stared at her without blinking, trying to find even a hint of tenderness in her eyes, but the barrier between them was like a thousand-foot snow-capped mountain.
"Ningning," he said, sounding very angry. "Although I had this premonition a long time ago, I still don't understand why you pushed me away after regaining your memory? Your actions when you lost your memory were subconscious. You clearly had me in your heart, so why... I don't believe you really hate me so much now."
"Who do you think you are?" Wen Qianning raised her eyes to meet his, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips. "You were the first person I saw when I opened my eyes after losing my memory, so what's so strange about me relying on you? This doesn't mean I like you that much. To be frank, if the first person I saw was Ji Ziming, I would have been clinging to him, too."
Wen Qianning's words stirred up a huge uproar in Ji Hanlin's heart. The surging emotions in his heart almost tore him apart. It was just a few words, but it was more painful than countless sword strikes.
He once thought that having her dependence when she lost her memory was enough, but now, her coldness after regaining her memory made him realize... he simply could not allow her to leave.
Regardless of whether it was against her will or not, he would not let go.
Therefore, Ji Hanlin suppressed his emotions and laughed softly: "So? Are you telling me this now because you want to leave me?"
"You are now the Immortal Lord Yaoxuan. I am not worthy of you. You will always meet a better woman." Wen Qianning pondered for a moment and thought, for example, Shen Xin.
However, Wen Qianning was too absent-minded and accidentally revealed what was in her mind. When she heard the word "careful", Ji Hanlin's eyes became even colder.
"Shen Xin?" he repeated, sneering.
Wen Qianning panicked for a moment, but still forced herself to look him in the eye: "Yes, yes, don't think I don't know, you're asking Xiantai if he's staring at her!"
"Ningning," Ji Hanlin took a step closer, his tall, graceful figure now carrying a dangerous, intimidating aura. "You're trying to stab me, aren't you? You know perfectly well in your heart... Shen Xin is just a stranger to me. She's nothing like you."
"Really?" Wen Qianning didn't want to lose her composure, but instead appeared even more cold and ruthless. "I think she's better than me. She's incredibly talented, and her status matches yours. Maybe one day, she'll be the most suitable person to stand by your side. As for me..." She paused, then shook her head slightly. "So what if I'm the leader of the Hehuan Sect? I'm just alluring and alluring, but definitely not up to par."
“That’s enough!”
Ji Hanlin couldn't listen any longer. Every cold word she said was like an invisible knife, cutting into his heart.
"Wen Qianning, do you know..." Ji Hanlin grabbed her wrist with such force that she frowned. He held her tightly, "What I hate most is that you always like to decide for me, who is worthy of me, who is more suitable... I never care."
Wen Qianning pursed her lips and hurriedly pushed him away: "Let me go."
Unfortunately, the man was now depressed, expressionless, and the darkness in his eyes gradually spread: "You should know that now I am the Immortal King, you can no longer do anything to me. No matter how much you push me away or how much you resist, it will be useless. You are mine."
Wen Qianning was stunned when she saw the cold and gloomy Ji Hanlin in front of her. A lot of black mist slowly overflowed from his body.
"You..." She subconsciously took a step back, a little scared, "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Hanlin raised the corners of his lips, his smile cold and self-deprecating. "What's wrong? Ningning, aren't you curious about how I was able to ascend to immortality and become an Immortal Lord in just a few short years?"
"I'll tell you something." He walked towards her step by step, his footsteps silent, yet bringing with them an invisible oppression. A dark aura spread like thick ink. "It's because you abandoned me that my heart was pushed into the abyss. If it weren't for you, I would never have known that kind of... pain of being torn apart."
His eyes grew cold, and he continued cruelly and coldly, "That's when I realized that obsession and hatred can make a person what they are. They've kept me going through countless near-death experiences, and kept me awake day and night, thinking only of the day I'll see you again, torture you, and take revenge on you."
"So, the cultivation level you see now... is all due to my dark transformation. With the added magical power of my dark transformation, I was able to rapidly improve my cultivation level in just a few short years."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist around him surged with a force that could destroy the world, and the spiritual energy of the entire hall instantly became chaotic.
