Yunming's voice was hoarse, like that of an old man on his deathbed.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked up in confusion, and her gaze fell upon the adult.
The adult raised an eyebrow, saying dismissively, "I forcibly pulled you out of your world, not because you tried to assassinate me." Hearing this, Yunming should be extremely grateful to the adult.
Yunming pounded the black earth with one hand, his eyes bulging out of their sockets, his hatred and anger finding no outlet but self-harm as a form of solace.
"My lord, what do you mean by that?" Ji Xiaoxiao felt a chill run through her body.
Yunming once said that his relentless pursuit was because he couldn't forget her.
"Ji Xiaoxiao, you have traveled through countless worlds, so you should have the deepest understanding. When you traveled through time and space, didn't you find anything uncomfortable about yourself?" the adult asked patiently.
Ji Xiaoxiao recalled the feeling of her first time traveling through time: her limbs were weak, her head was dizzy, and it felt like someone was hitting her hard with a stick, making a loud thumping noise that was unbearable.
"Since you still remember how you felt back then, you must understand how difficult it is to travel through time! Even with my power protecting you, you still suffered greatly. Yunming is just a tiny clay figure. What makes you think he has the power and ability to break through the spatial barrier and find you in countless worlds?" The adult puffed out his chest and said with great pride, "It was me, it was me who helped him."
Therefore, the person Yunming was looking for from the very beginning was not her, but the adult.
Ha, liar, Yunming is a big liar, a big liar who lies from beginning to end.
"Why did you lie to me?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked Yunming.
Since things had come to this point, there was no point in hiding it anymore, so Yunming frankly revealed the truth.
"I want to get revenge on him." That's the real reason.
The adult, not quite understanding, asked, "I showed you the wonders and wonders of other worlds, things that others would kill for. Why do you still want revenge on me?"
In the eyes of adults, the ability of clay figures to travel through time is a stroke of good fortune.
What is honey to one is poison to another, just like the saying goes, "one man's meat is another man's poison."
The adults thought it was a great thing, but Yunming did the opposite, regarding it as the most hated stain of his life.
Yunming spat, "So what if I take revenge on you? You treat me like a dog and play with me at will. I will not only take revenge on you, but I will also devour you alive and grind your bones to dust."
He, the dignified Immortal Master of the Lotus Holy Sect of Tianshan, a legendary figure in the martial arts world who is omnipotent and omniscient, a senior figure revered by martial arts practitioners, and a great figure whose sharpness even court officials and the true dragon emperor dare not test, was actually played with in the palm of a little adult imprisoned in the Panlong Golden Pillar. Who would believe it if this were told?
Why would he give up his perfectly good position as a Celestial Lord and go looking for trouble, running around the world aimlessly? He ruined his life and trampled on his dignity. Why isn't he angry? Why doesn't he lie low and seek revenge? Why should he be grateful to him?
The adult shook his head, his expression one of pity, as if he was hurt by Yunming's ungrateful behavior of biting the hand that feeds him.
"Ji Xiaoxiao, do it!" the adult commanded Ji Xiaoxiao to deal with Yun Ming.
Ji Xiaoxiao gripped the weathered dagger and turned to the lord. "My lord, why did you pull Yunming out of his world? I've been to so many worlds and met countless brilliant people. They are either naturally gifted, hardworking, or have the ability to stand out from the crowd. Why did you choose Yunming? Can you tell me why?"
"There's no reason why," the adult said confidently, his eyes darting away.
After a pause, Ji Xiaoxiao was lost in her memories.
After a while, Ji Xiaoxiao said to herself, "Sir, you always tell me, 'Ask him what he wanted to say at the time,' but I'm completely confused and don't understand what you mean. I don't know who you mean by 'him.' But after considering what happened today, I've roughly figured out the cause and effect."
"My lord, the person you asked me to find is Yunming, right?" Ji Xiaoxiao dissected the mystery beneath the fog. "Since the target is Yunming, and you asked me to ask him what he wanted to say at the time, the situation must have been extremely urgent. As far as I can remember, the only one that fits the description is that Yunming and I made an appointment at the top of the snow mountain, under the peach blossom tree."
The adult frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "It was that day."
The adult's reply was extremely brief and quick, giving the impression that it was a last-minute attempt to cram.
Ji Xiaoxiao glanced apologetically at Yun Ming, then pulled the weathered dagger from her thigh and plunged it into her own body. One cut after another, the bloody scene horrified the two men present.
"Xiaoxiao, put the knife down! If you have any grudges, take them out on me. You don't need to risk your life." Yunming urgently stopped Ji Xiaoxiao.
Yunming stood up and took Ji Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Please don't hurt yourself, I beg you."
Yunming did not want to deceive Ji Xiaoxiao with love and drag innocent people down with him!
What he did ultimately did not conform to reality, and Yunming did not know what to do.
If he could live his life again, Yunming would definitely not use the same methods.
Love is the most hurtful thing.
Yunming moved his lips, and finally the silent scoundrel was pulled into his arms.
Ji Xiaoxiao rested her head on Yunming's shoulder and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Yunming, not understanding why, pushed Ji Xiaoxiao away and looked at her calmly.
Ji Xiaoxiao drew her ancient dagger and killed Yunming with a single blow.
Yunming stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief, a mixture of relief and confusion.
At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, beneath the plum blossom tree, Ji Xiaoxiao was still the holy maiden Bai Lianhua of the Tianshan Lotus Holy Sect.
"Don't go yet, okay? I have something to tell you."
