Chapter 1256 Fleeting Happiness

Just as she was about to speak, Hua Xiuyuan appeared on a spirit bird and quickly flew into the mountain gate.

Ye Linglong climbed up the stairs quickly. She forgot to fly and rushed up three steps at a time. She didn't stop until she reached the mountain gate, panting.

As soon as she stopped, she saw her senior sister coming out of the door. She had a bright smile on her face and was talking to her eldest brother-in-law as she walked.

"Eh? Junior Sister, why are you here? Junior Sister Five is looking for you. She just came back from home and said she brought you something good."

After the eldest sister finished speaking, she went down the mountain with her eldest brother-in-law. It seemed that they were going to carry out a mission for the sect.

Ye Linglong continued walking inside. She saw seven senior brothers and three senior sisters. Finally, in the yard next to her, she saw the fifth senior sister who was waiting to give her a gift.

"Junior sister, you are finally here!"

After Ye Linglong took the three cities and an island given to her by Lu Baiwei, she continued to walk inside in a happy mood.

Along the way, she met fellow students she had known for a long time, received a gift from her favorite fifth sister, and suddenly became a small wealthy woman. What else was there to come?

She continued walking with an expectant heart.

When she reached the back mountain of Qingxuan Sect, she was stopped by a disgusting sword.

At this, the beauty in her ring couldn't hold back her temper and started fighting with Xuanying.

While the two of them were fighting, Ye Linglong continued walking up the mountain. When she reached a high peak at the back of the mountain, an idea flashed through her mind: she was about to meet the founder of Qingxuan Sect.

But at that moment her mood was not respect, but anticipation.

Finally, after she walked into the mountain gate, she saw a familiar figure beside a pond covered with green lotuses.

He lay on his side on a green lotus, his back to her, motionless, as if he was asleep.

Ye Linglong inexplicably had a feeling that if she went forward and woke him up, she would get everything she wanted, answers, the past, stability and him.

With such great expectations, Ye Linglong took a step forward, and when she was about to step into the Green Lotus Pond, she suddenly stopped.

She looked back at the path she had come.

She didn't know how long she had been walking, but she seemed to have obtained everything she wanted. If she went further, she would get all the things she regretted but could not get.

And it is easy to get.

It was in such an atmosphere of expectation and happiness that she kept expecting, and after expecting, she kept getting, and after getting, she felt so happy and satisfied that she walked such a long way without realizing it.

She had almost forgotten that at first she was just curious and wanted to see what it would be like to sit down and meditate.

She almost forgot that this was not the real world. All this was just her inner expectation, the most perfect dream she had woven for herself.

Fortunately, she did not continue to move forward with the dream. Fortunately, she stopped in time. Otherwise, she didn’t know how long she would have to walk. Would she forget in the end that this was just a dream?

Ye Linglong suddenly started awake, and his mind gradually became clear.

But this clarity was soon eroded by the feeling of joy and anticipation.

It seems like you are confused and tempted. As long as you keep moving forward, you can get what you want. Why should you stop?

No, she was going to stop.

Self-deceiving dreams will only destroy oneself and real hopes and expectations.

False satisfaction will cause people to lose themselves and become prey to others.

How could her path be so easy? She couldn't get the life without bloodshed or pain she wanted!

She had promised to find all her lost brothers and sisters, so how could she indulge in dreams?

This strong belief burst out from his heart, and Ye Linglong suddenly opened his eyes.

When she closed her eyes, the acacia tree full of yellow acacia flowers appeared before her. She chuckled and shook her head.

She had read in a book that the acacia tree, also known as the golden wattle, symbolizes fleeting happiness.

Isn't it just fleeting?

Ye Linglong rubbed her head and tapped her shoulders. She had just struggled out of the dream and now felt very tired. This was probably because the acacia tree had sucked something away from her.

If she indulges herself in this for a little longer, she might die here.

This kind of happiness is indeed very short-lived, and it comes at the cost of one's life. The cost-effectiveness is a bit too low.

Ye Linglong shook her body. She had experienced too many illusions like this before. Usually, it wouldn't take long for her to wake up. That was why she dared to sit down directly.

After adjusting her condition, she decided to get up and take a look.

Unexpectedly, just as she stood up and before she could turn her head, a head appeared behind her. She was frightened and she slapped the man back, but was quickly grabbed by the other person's wrist.

"Little Junior Sister, wake up! I am your Senior Brother!"

Ye Linglong glanced at Pei Luobai behind her, then looked at the other brothers and sisters sitting in meditation beside her, and then she felt resentful.

She turned her face towards Pei Luobai, but her eyes were not focused on him.

"Who...are...you?"

Pei Luobai widened his eyes, nervously grabbed Ye Linglong's arms and shook her.

"Little Junior Sister, I'm your Senior Brother, don't you recognize me?"

"Are you the one who wants to destroy the Saint?" Ye Linglong's brows wrinkled instantly, and he grabbed Pei Luobai excitedly: "No! I will kill you now!"

Seeing Ye Linglong so excited, Pei Luobai instantly understood the crux of the problem.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the woman sitting in the carriage under the acacia tree. His expression turned cold, and he drew his sword and chopped her down with it.

!!!

Ye Linglong didn't expect that the senior brother would use such a violent and direct method to solve the problem.

She quickly stopped joking and turned around to follow him, because she suddenly felt that violence was a good thing. A problem that could be solved with a sword was not something that could be solved without racking your brain for a long time and almost getting yourself involved.

When Ye Linglong followed Pei Luobai and rushed towards the acacia tree in front, she passed by many people sitting under the acacia tree and saw their appearance that she could not see in the back row.

At that moment, her heart skipped a beat.

Those people were not dead, but the closer they were to the front rows, the paler their faces became, and their bodies became skinny, like a dried corpse!

As soon as he saw their appearance, Pei Luobai rushed in front of the car.

Before Pei Luobai could smash the seat into pieces, the sword wind slashed across the seat first, fiercely lifting up the gauze on it.

When the door was lifted, Pei Luobai and Ye Linglong saw the people inside.

At that moment, Pei Luobai's hand paused, and during this moment of hesitation, the person inside disappeared in an instant.

As soon as she disappeared, the entire acacia tree stopped dropping petals.

Good night~
