There was no expression on their faces, as if they were arranging the formation numbly, but their eyes contained unquenchable hatred and anger, which only needed a spark to ignite a raging fire.
Looking at this scene, Luo Jianqing felt a little blocked in his heart. He murmured: "Is this ten-year truce really a good thing?..."
The ten-year armistice did not lead to peace, but to a greater war.
Now it seems that the two tribes are temporarily truce and each is taking a breath, but everyone knows that both tribes will improve themselves during this period and prepare to start a more brutal war ten years later.
Hatred cannot be erased in ten years; the hatred of a broken family is even harder to get rid of in a lifetime!
Luo Jianqing couldn't bear to watch any longer. He turned his gaze away and looked at Xuan Lingzi, asking, "Master, you haven't told me why Elder Du Jue Tian wanted a ten-year truce. Although the human race's strength has greatly increased since you left the Far North, Elder Du Jue Tian has also broken through to the Heavenly Rank, and the Divine Beast Jin Li has also regained his strength. The two races are evenly matched."
Hearing this, Xuan Lingzi stopped plucking the strings and looked up at Luo Jianqing. He reached out and touched the still vibrating strings, stopping the sound, and said, "What are you curious about?"
Luo Jianqing said, "I was wondering if you and that Du Jue Tian Lao... have reached some kind of agreement?"
A flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, but Xuan Lingzi quickly concealed his emotion, preventing Luo Jianqing from noticing. He lowered his head again and gently plucked the strings of his zither. The soft and melodious music echoed off the bow of the boat.
Xuan Lingzi said calmly, "Master only severely injured Elder Du Jue Tian. He knew that now was no longer the time to start a war. That's all."
Luo Jianqing stepped forward and said as he walked, "So ten years from now will be the right time to start a war?"
Xuan Lingzi curled his thin lips slightly and did not answer.
Luo Jianqing asked again: "I think there must be something that forced you and that Du Jue Tianlao to call a truce."
Xuan Lingzi flipped the zither back into his ring, walked up to his disciple, and looked down. Beneath the clear, azure sky, the young man's handsome features looked as if meticulously painted with the finest brush by a skilled craftsman. His eyes sparkled, his nose straight, and even with a serious expression, he was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Xuan Lingzi couldn't help but reach out and touch this face.
Luo Jianqing was stunned by his action. Before he could react, he heard Xuan Lingzi's voice saying with a smile: "My Jianqing, how could you be so smart?"
These words made Luo Jianqing's heart skip a beat.
The numerous events of the past six months had conditioned Luo Jianqing to analyze everything around him, never missing a single detail. He had almost forgotten the feeling of relying completely on the person before him, and even when interacting with them, he never let down his guard.
After hearing Xuan Lingzi's words, Luo Jianqing's heart trembled slightly. He raised his hand and slapped his hand away, looking up and said, "You are lying to me again."
Xuan Lingzi rarely curled his lips, revealing a barely perceptible smile: "I'm not lying to you, I just didn't have time to tell you."
Luo Jianqing raised an eyebrow: "Do you think I would believe such words?"
Xuan Lingzi frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "When has your master ever lied to you?"
Luo Jianqing looked up at Xuan Lingzi and said, "My master may have never lied to me, but Wuyin has lied to me more than once!" Xuan Lingzi was startled. Luo Jianqing pursed his lips and listed one thing after another: "He once told me that every time I advance to a higher realm, he would give me a magic weapon."
Xuan Lingzi frowned and said, "When you advanced to the Fusion Stage, your master was not present."
Luo Jianqing continued, "Wuyin once said that he would never abandon me at any time. But when the withered mountain collapsed that day, he pushed me away and faced it alone."
Xuan Lingzi opened his lips slightly and looked at the young man in front of him in astonishment: "Jianqing..."
Luo Jianqing didn't even give him time to react. Once something was spoken, more words followed. He continued, "Do you know how I felt when I saw you being swallowed by the withered mountain? And do you know how, when faced with the choice of whether to return to find you, I rationally chose to flee instead of turning back to look for you? Look, Wuyin lied to me again. He said he'd always be with me, but he left me alone."
When he finished speaking, the smile on Luo Jianqing's face had long disappeared, and Xuan Lingzi looked at him hesitantly.
The young man smiled faintly, a warm and brilliant smile instantly blooming. He smiled helplessly and blankly, and at the end, he asked a single question that completely froze Xuan Lingzi: "In the end, Wuyin once deceived me. Seventeen years ago, I found a technique in a ruin. A year ago, I told Wuyin about it. Wuyin seemed unaware of it, but I only now know that the technique is called 'Nine Lotuses Heaven-Seizing Record'!"
"Getting clear!" Xuan Lingzi said anxiously.
Luo Jianqing shook his head and said, "I'm not angry, I just feel I'm not smart enough. For example, when I knew you followed me to the ruins of Beidou Zhenjun, I should have thought that it was impossible for Beidou Zhenjun to possess such a terrifying technique. This matter is definitely suspicious."
After saying this, Luo Jianqing paused for a moment before continuing, "So, Wuyin, who always lies to me, now, can you tell me... what exactly is 'Nine Lotuses Heaven-stealing Record'?"
Although his words sounded tolerant, Luo Jianqing's intense gaze left Xuan Lingzi with no choice. Whenever Xuan Lingzi looked to the left, Luo Jianqing would pull him back, forcing him to look at her again. Whenever Xuan Lingzi looked to the right, Luo Jianqing would stand to the right and meet his gaze again.
