Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Shameless!
In the main hall of Xuanji Sect, the flames on the gilded copper candlesticks on both sides have been burning for a hundred years. The light of the candles is reflected on Wei Xin's pale face, and his eyes are deep and unfathomable.
The kneeling disciples looked anxiously at Wei Xin, who had a face full of hatred and resentment. They had just received the order to gather here, but a quarter of an hour had passed and Wei Xin still said nothing, turning the Crimson Spirit Pearl in his hand.
Everyone was worried that something big was going to happen.
Finally, Elder Yin couldn't help but ask what happened.
Wei Xin raised his head and ordered, "All of you, smile for me."
The disciples were very confused.
"laugh!"
When the order was given, everyone followed it, even though they didn't understand, and laughed heartily.
Wei Xin walked up to them and examined their smiles one by one. They all smiled in different ways and with different expressions, but none of them was the smile on Yundu's face.
How does he analyze this?
"Forget it, everyone go away and continue planting trees." Wei Xin waved his hand.
After the meeting, Elder Yin stayed behind and asked about his health: "My Lord, how much of your power have you recovered now?"
"Same old thing."
Recently, he has been upset and has no intention to practice. Moreover, he has practiced twice before, but he felt that his internal breath was difficult and there were many obstacles, not as smooth as before.
"The Red Blood Pearl is also damaged and can no longer exert its original power."
"It seems that the side effects of the thunder tribulation are still serious." Elder Yin sighed and was about to leave, but was stopped by him again.
"Wait..." Wei Xin remembered Yun Du's words and asked, "How did my father die?"
"More than two hundred years ago, the righteous formed an alliance to attack our Xuanji Sect. The old master was bloodthirsty, blood was everywhere, and he burst out with endless power. He killed seven sect leaders by himself and seriously injured tens of thousands of people. However, he still used up all his luck in this long battle." Elder Yin sighed.
"Why did the Red Blood Pearl fall on me intact?"
"That... I don't know. The Demon Lord exploded and died, and at the last moment he merged the Red Blood Pearl into your body."
"Death by explosion?"
Wei Xin felt a sense of crisis again.
"In the last battle, the righteous suffered heavy losses. It seems that they have rested recently, and are preparing for another big battle. We must be on guard. The power of the Red Blood Pearl is immeasurable. My lord, as long as you can repair it, you can rest assured. You are the only one in the world." Elder Yin said passionately.
Wei Xin no longer had the enthusiasm he had before, for he knew his destined outcome and was aware of his own potential danger.
The series of events made him a little worried, and his hair turned another strand white due to worry.
“My Lord, you look quite handsome recently.” Nan Huang said while combing his hair.
Wei Xin glanced at her sideways, suspecting that she was seduced by the male protagonist just because he was attracted to her face.
"What kind of man do you like?" he asked.
"She's good-looking." Nan Huang said.
really.
He smiled sinisterly: "If you have someone you like, you must tell me."
"Why?"
"I want to kill him."
Nan Huang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "My Lord, you are not jealous, are you? In fact, I think you are also a handsome man - ow! I was wrong ow ow!"
Nan Huang was kicked away, got up, dusted himself off, and then happily came over to help him change his clothes: "I was just joking with you, you are so boring. If you don't understand romance, how can you marry the queen in the future?"
Wei Xin frowned: "Your Majesty?"
"Yes, Elder Yin said a while ago that he wanted to find a queen for you so that you can have a little prince."
Wei Xin's heart tensed up: "Why didn't he tell me about this?"
"You failed in your tribulation, so the elders are afraid that it will affect your rest. They want you to get married and have children after you recover, and then live happily ever after."
What is the purpose of getting married and having children?
Will he give birth to another son like his father, inherit the Scarlet Blood Pearl, and maintain the Demon Sect's false prestige?
Weissington found life boring.
Perhaps it is because I have too many worries, and even after several days of seclusion and cultivation, it still doesn't work.
He lay on his back on the ground, conjured up a talisman in the air, hurriedly wrote a line of words, waved his hand, and disappeared without a trace.
——I don’t want to live anymore.
A few hours later, another line of words appeared in front of him.
——Why?
——No energy.
——In that case, why not think about how to die.
Wei Xin sat up and began to think seriously.
——Destroy the elixir and the body, grind the bones and turn them into ashes?
——Pollute the spiritual energy.
——Cut into pieces and bury them separately?
——Waste of spiritual land.
——Ascend to heaven to overcome the tribulation, and then kill yourself by drawing lightning?
——At the very least, it will be broken into eight pieces, wasting the spiritual land; at the worst, it will be ground into bones and ashes, polluting the spiritual energy.
Wei Xin thought of hundreds of ways to die, but they were all refuted by the other party. He was not annoyed, but found it interesting instead.
He didn't really want to commit suicide. His melancholy mood gradually dissipated during the conversation. His mood improved, and he went out for a walk.
Xuanji Sect is located in a canyon, surrounded by mountains. The air is humid, and flowers and herbs grow freely and luxuriantly. Unlike Qingguan Sect, which stands on a high peak and is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it has been almost colorless for many years.
The moon was dark and the wind was strong; the bamboo leaves in the forest rustled.
A shadow shuttled through the woods, the tip of a leaf swayed slightly, and Wei Xin stepped onto the old tree in the yard.
The moonlight cast his long shadow.
The room suddenly lit up.
Squeak.
The door opened, and Yun Du, dressed in white, stood calmly at the door, looking up at the moon, but the moon was completely blocked by the person on the tree.
The man looked young, but his half-white hair seemed to be dyed by moonlight.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Wei Xin raised his head proudly, with an air of looking down on everyone.
"Lord Demon, why have you come here so late at night?" Yun Du asked.
Wei Xin threw what he had in his hand at him without saying a word.
Yun Du stood up and took it, which turned out to be a few orchids.
"I destroyed the orchids in your room last time. This is my apology to you." Wei Xin clapped his hands and folded his arms.
Yun Du looked down at Han Lan, who was still covered in mud, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, it's thoughtful."
Wei Xin looked down and asked, "How did you know about the Red Blood Pearl?"
"The Red Blood Pearl is in your body. This is probably known to everyone in the world of immortal cultivation, right?" Yun Du calmly moved a bench, put Han Lan down, and sat under the eaves to talk to him.
"You know that's not what I'm asking about." Wei Xin gritted his teeth.
"What if I don't tell you?"
"Then don't blame me for using courtesy before force." Wei Xin flashed in front of him in an instant and pressed his head with one hand.
"I said."
"......"
Wei Xin was accustomed to those hypocritical people who would rather die than obey, and was ready to take the man back and torture him, but he didn't expect that this man would frighten so quickly.
He withdrew his inner strength in dismay and patted Yun Du on the head: "You are sensible. Tell the truth."
"My master told me that if you do too much evil, you will eventually die. This is what my master said. It has nothing to do with me. Don't look at me like that. Do you want me to continue speaking?"
"Speak!" Wei Xin gritted his teeth.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, cultivators performed their duties and cultivated their own ways. They did not interfere with each other, and there was no distinction between the righteous and evil ways. But since the appearance of the Red Blood Pearl, this peace has been broken. Someone discovered its power, which can help people increase their cultivation rapidly. Compared with the step-by-step cultivation, this can be said to be the best shortcut."
Wei Xin naturally knew about this long-ago event. The first Demon Lord snatched the Red Blood Pearl from the Sea of Blood and accepted many disciples who flocked to him. Only then did the camps of the good and the evil gradually separate.
The tacit rule of Xuanji Sect is that whoever possesses the Red Blood Pearl is the Demon Lord.
Even though Wei Xin was just a child when he obtained the Red Blood Pearl, he was still protected as the Lord.
"Looking at the several Demon Lords, has anyone had a good ending?" Yun Du asked slowly.
"Everyone must die, how can we blame it all on the Red Blood Pearl?"
"But the way they died was almost the same. You should know this best, right?"
Wei Xin's pupils shrank slightly.
In fact, he didn't know the details.
When he just regained consciousness, he began a long battle against the Red Blood Pearl. The first time he went out of the mountain, he became possessed, his mind went insane, he burned down several villages, and was targeted by the righteous.
After that, he stayed in Xuanji Sect for many years to practice in seclusion, and knew nothing about the affairs of the outside world.
It was not until several decades ago, when he was able to control the power of the Red Blood Pearl, that Elder Yin began to slowly teach him how to handle Pope affairs.
But he was not interested in these things. As for how the previous Demon Lords died, it was all old news and he did not care.
While he was thinking, a hand suddenly grabbed a strand of hair on his chest.
Just as he was about to get angry, Yun Du spread out his hands, looked at the half-white hair in his palms and said, "The last time I saw you, you still had black hair."
Yun Du lowered his head. The light was dim and Wei Xin couldn't see his expression clearly. He couldn't figure out the meaning of his words. It seemed like he was stating a fact, but also like... worried?
"Raise your head." Wei Xin ordered.
Yun Du raised his head obediently. He moved closer and took a closer look, but he could not make out anything from his dead smiling face.
"Why do you care whether my hair is black or white?" he said unhappily.
"Although white hair makes you look more stylish, black hair is still healthier and more vibrant."
"...Are we now discussing whether or not the hair looks good?"
Yun Du smiled softly, let go of his hair, looked up and asked with a smile: "What else do you want to discuss?"
Wei Xin thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to inherit the family lineage and become the leader of the Qingguan Sect?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"If you want to be the sect leader, I can help you." Wei Xin lowered his voice and spoke closer to him.
Yun Du's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked into his eyes: "Do you want to cooperate with me, or let me be your puppet?"
"No way?" Wei Xin snorted, "Ordinary people are not qualified enough."
"Please go find that extraordinary person. Goodbye." Yun Du got up and went back to the house, took out the vase, and a gust of cold wind passed behind him.
The cold fingers were pressed against his neck, the fingertips sunk into the flesh. With just a little force, they could seal his vital point.
"Do you think I really don't want to kill you?" Wei Xin asked in a cold voice. No one dared to be so aggressive in front of him.
"You won't." Yundu said.
"Are you so sure?" Wei Xin approached him with a cold look in his eyes and pressed hard with his fingers, trying to see his twisted and struggling expression.
But no.
"If you, Wei Xin, wanted to kill someone, you wouldn't have waited until now. Either you have compassion, or... your skills have declined." The other party looked at him calmly, his eyes wandering on his half-white hair for a moment, and speculated, "Or is there something wrong with the Red Blood Pearl?"
Wei Xin's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at him. He realized that the strength of this senior disciple might not be simple.
He hid himself among the crowd of Qingguan Sect, and even the three elders could not distinguish him, but they were able to discover his identity at a glance.
Even so, he did not show any sign of panic and even dared to bring him back to his residence openly. He must be sure that he would not be controlled by him.
Wei Xin withdrew his hand, bared his teeth expressionlessly at him, and said uncertainly: "I just think you are more interesting than others, and I want to keep you for a few more days to play with you."
"Well, first you peeked at me bathing, then you sent me Hanlan in the middle of the night, and then you broke into my bedroom without permission. Lord Demon, do you know what you are playing?" Yun Du asked with a smile.
"What are you playing?"
"Playing with my feelings." Yundu looked innocent.
"......"
Wei Xin suddenly wanted to smash his head!
Fuck that great disciple of the Qingguan sect, what the hell is in his head!
"Shame on you!" Wei Xin left a message and disappeared from sight.
Yun Du curled the corners of his mouth silently, planted the orchid in the vase, brushed his fingers over the leaves, a flash of light passed, and the flower buds slowly opened.
