Chapter 167
Nan Yan likes to see his stubborn attitude, the way he complains about sour grapes even though he can't eat them. Doesn't this make her feel particularly satisfied and accomplished?
Haha, isn't that very capable? Don't you want her to be the owner of the bracelet? Don't you want her to use the things inside? Then can't she just give up on it?
But what does this person mean now?
He said she was a cheapskate, so why did he hold her wrist so tightly? He stared at her intently, as if he was afraid that others would not see that he was unhappy at the moment? His whole body was filled with the unpleasant aura of a stranger not being able to get close to him.
Even if Nan Yan saw it, she pretended not to know. However, after hearing his cold response, she looked obviously unhappy. She glared at him angrily and then raised her wrist.
"If you dislike me so much, why are you still holding on to me? Why don't you just let go?"
Jing Wuyan did not let go, but when he looked up at her impatient look, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
Jing Wuyan narrowed his eyes and opened his thin lips slightly, "Are you so anxious?"
Nan Yan pursed her lips, not wanting to pay attention to him. Seeing that he refused to let go, she reached out and used her fingers to pry his fingers apart, trying to figure out how to pry them open.
She tried to break it for a long time, but the other party still held it tightly, without a single gap.
Just when Nan Yan was getting furious and about to lose her patience, the man opposite her suddenly tightened his strength, pulled the person in front of him, and then looked straight into those slightly surprised eyes.
Jing Wuyan looked down at her. His dark eyes were as calm as a deep pool, and his tone showed no emotion. He asked her, "If I give you another chance to choose and let this bracelet recognize you as its master, will you refuse it without hesitation? Will you also give up the things inside?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan was slightly stunned.
Then I raised my eyes and met that person's calm gaze. He was clearly asking questions, but his tone was so cold and indifferent. I might have thought he was mocking me?
This also instantly reminded Nan Yan of the other person's superior attitude and those eyes that were calm and without a trace of emotion when they first met.
Nan Yan didn't know if this man was deliberately deceiving her. Logically speaking, with his arrogant personality, how could he give someone a second chance if they rejected him once?
This person is very conceited by nature, and usually thinks that no matter what he does, the other party should accept it with gratitude, otherwise he will be unhappy.
Nan Yan wanted to make him unhappy. If he was unhappy, she would be happy. So the surprise in her eyes slowly subsided, she turned her head and snorted at him twice, rejecting him with a particularly disgusted tone:
"Don't think I don't know your evil intentions. You just want to see me hesitate and be greedy, and then reject me deliberately when I agree to it, so that I can laugh at you?"
"Well...it's good that you know it. This is exactly what I think." Jing Wuyan lowered his eyes and sneered.
Nan Yan raised her eyes and looked straight at him, her tone full of resentment, "I won't be fooled by you, and I don't want your things. From the beginning, you despised me and despised my lack of cultivation. Now I am starting to despise you too."
"Hurry up and let go of me." She started to struggle again, staring at him fiercely and threateningly, "If you don't let go, I'll call my senior brother in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of coldness appeared in Jing Wuyan's eyes.
He suddenly let go and swung the wrist that had been clasped in his palm to the side, with a rare hint of mockery on his face. Then his whole body instantly turned into a stream of light and completely disappeared in front of Nan Yan.
At the moment of disappearance, Nan Yan heard a cold voice in her ear, "Very good, little girl, you'd better never regret what you said today."
Hearing this tone, Nan Yan held the bracelet and continued to speak loudly, even tougher and more ruthless than him, "I won't regret it. Why should I regret it? You bully me all day long, despise me, and snatch my spirit stones. You just took advantage of me. You are so old and still argue with a little girl like me. I hate you so much, how can I regret it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Yan felt the bracelet in her hand getting hot, and the temperature was so high that it almost burned her palm red.
Nan Yan was so angry that she threw the bracelet to the ground and stomped on it a few times before she stopped. This petty-minded man was really not easy to mess with. How could he deal with her even after all this?
Very good, she won't regret it, not in this life. She is just waiting for the day when he admits his mistake and apologizes.
When Nan Yan's bracelets were taken out, Lin Qingshuang, who was originally standing in the yard, subconsciously walked forward a few steps. She saw the bracelet on Nan Yan's hand at a glance.
Exactly the same as the one from the previous life, the Qiankun bracelet is emerald green all over and decorated with silver ornaments. It looks like an ordinary bracelet from the outside, but it is actually a magical artifact.
Lin Qingshuang was a little anxious. Seeing that Junior Sister Su was holding the bracelet tightly, she was worried that she would not return it, so she subconsciously reached out to take the bracelet first. As long as it was in her hand, she would not let anyone take it away.
Lin Qingshuang took another step forward and tried to reach out to grab it, but Nan Yan dodged it subconsciously.
Lin Qingshuang's eyes were filled with anxiety, and her tone was somewhat blaming. "Junior Sister Su, what do you mean by this? I think you should know very well that this bracelet originally belonged to me. You have occupied it for so long, it's time to return it."
Nan Yan took one look at her and knew what she was thinking. Wasn't she just worried that she would be greedy for the treasure and not return it? This was normal. After all, this was a divine weapon. Even if it was useless, she couldn't just give it to someone else for free. Moreover, this bracelet had swallowed up a lot of her spirit stones before. Although she got a sum of money from Jing Wuyan, why would she let go of this senior sister in front of her?
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes and smiled. It is said that one should not hit a smiling person. Her smile was so gentle and considerate. Could it be that this senior sister did not understand what she meant?
"Sister, what you said is really hurtful. What do you mean by occupying your things? This is clearly a token of love given to me by Senior Brother. Just because you are unhappy, Senior Brother has wronged me and returned the bracelet to you. You can take it back, but how many Spiritual Stones will you give me in exchange?"
After she finished speaking, she tilted her head again. Relying on her thick skin, she showed no guilt when asking for the spirit stones. She even had a considerate smile on her face. "Also, my senior brother was afraid that I would suffer a loss, so he gave me the sword talisman as compensation. Originally, these were just small things, but since I care about this bracelet so much, I am willing to spend a large amount of spirit stones to buy it back. It shows how important this bracelet is to me."
"In that case, Senior Sister, why don't you return Senior Brother's sword talisman as well, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles and gossips in the future. Senior Sister should not be reluctant to part with such a small thing, right?"
Nan Yan was ruthless when it came to cheating people.
In her previous life, Su Nanyan really cared about that senior brother, so no matter what he said, she was angry but would not disobey him. Not only did someone take her bracelet, but her reputation was also tarnished.
Although she herself felt somewhat guilty, the other party was so shameless that he could even take back the things he had given to her with a thick face. Why should she care about this tiny friendship between fellow students? It was a sign of her good temper that she didn't scold him a few times.
Anyway, she is not that easy to mess with.
However, Lin Qingshuang thought her remarks were just excuses. Senior Brother Feng had obviously already compromised, but this little girl just kept holding on to this little thing and refused to let go.
In her opinion, this junior sister was reluctant to return the bracelet to her because she felt guilty and reluctant to give it to her. In her previous life, she saw clearly in the water curtain the scene of this junior sister getting angry and scolding the bracelet for being useless. If she didn't care about it, how could she say such words to deliberately make things difficult for her as a senior sister?
She is simply disrespectful to her elders. Only Feng Jixue is blind, as she cannot see the hypocritical nature of this little girl, who is two-faced and hypocritical.
Lin Qingshuang sneered and did not hesitate. The most important thing now was to get back the Qiankun bracelet. It originally belonged to her. She could almost feel that the bracelet had an inexplicable attraction to her.
Lin Qingshuang quickly reached for her waist and took out a bulging storage bag. She then handed it to Nan Yan in front of her with a hint of contempt in her eyes. "You want spirit stones, right? I wonder when I can be the master of Senior Brother Feng?"
"These are roughly the amount of spirit stones that Senior Brother Feng gave me at the time. Since Junior Sister is so stingy and unwilling to return the bracelet to me, then as a senior sister, I can only use the spirit stones to buy back what belongs to me. Is this okay, Junior Sister Su? Can my bracelet be returned to me?"
Hearing this, Feng Jixue frowned slightly. This was not his original intention and he did not want these two sisters to argue over such a small matter.
He would take care of compensating Junior Sister himself, and there was no need for Junior Sister Lin to return the spirit stones. After all, it was only a small amount, and there was no need for fellow disciples to calculate it so carefully.
Feng Jixue was thinking this and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere when the junior sister next to him glared at him. Her pair of dark and clear eyes were slightly angry and carried a hint of unwillingness and provocation. The meaning was very clear, as if to say, just try if you dare to speak!
大師兄的表情微頓，像是被什麽噎了一下，原本到了嘴邊的要阻攔的話猶豫了片刻又被吞進了肚子裏。
他眉頭皺緊，心中有些懊惱，但很快又松緩下來。
算了，以後女修們起争執的時候，他還是別湊熱鬧的好，否則會遭殃的很可能就是他自己了。
這麽想完，大師兄又覺得有些不對勁，他的小師妹何時變得這般兇殘嚣張了？一個眼神都能讓他安靜閉嘴了，連一點反駁的心思都沒有了，這發展是不是有些不大對？
大師兄目光怪異地落到一旁得了便宜還賣乖的小師妹身上，越瞧越覺得怪異，這丫頭的膽子真是越來越大了。
而南嫣伸手接過林清霜遞過來的納物袋子，自然是十分滿意，她要的就是這個結果，其實靈石對她來說也沒那麽重要，但看別人肉疼的模樣确實有種心情愉悅的爽感。
這下好了，不僅将狗男人一腳踹開了，還能得到一筆賠償損失，她何樂而不為呢？
南嫣收下納物袋的瞬間，幾乎同時，林清霜就從她手中搶回了镯子，那眼中流露的欣喜跟勢在必得的神色太過明顯。
明顯到簡直讓人懷疑，懷疑她別有目的，偏她還要故作鎮定，努力克制着心底的狂喜，臉上露出一副自己吃虧受損的表情。
擡起頭對着南嫣兩人一頓冷嘲熱諷，最後又轉頭看向身旁的風寂雪，深深望了他一眼後，這才轉身離開了。
等到林清霜的身影徹底消失，南嫣明顯不高興了，抿唇瞧着納物袋裏的靈石，把袋子一收，轉頭就就朝着她家大師兄的胸口砸過去了，開始找茬道，“你那是什麽眼神，你是在惱我嗎？你是不是也覺得我自私自利，愛貪小便宜，不該拿林師姐的東西？”
她越說越惱，眼尾紅紅的，看上去格外委屈，“可我吃了虧，我憑什麽不拿，你剛剛是不是要過來幫林師姐說話來的，誰教你對我露出這種表情的，你是不是後悔了？”
風寂雪：“……”
他只覺得自己遭受了一次無妄之災。
他都不知道自己做什麽了，這丫頭就劈頭蓋臉的一番教訓，難道只是一個眼神不對，她現在都要怪罪到他頭上了麽？
這丫頭的氣性何時變得這般大了？
風寂雪皺眉，将地上的納物袋撿起來，然後走過去握住她的手，“不許胡鬧，也不許亂扔東西，我明明什麽話都沒說，你為何又這般生我的氣？”
大師兄又端起了兄長的架子，開始一本正經的教育人，“你既然想要靈石可以跟我說，我的東西都可以給你用，我只是不想你跟林師妹起争執而已。她的修為比你高，年紀也比你長，往後再入秘境的時候，你們總會遇見，倘若到時候她記着這次争執，在你危險的時候不肯伸手幫忙了怎麽辦？”
他伸手揉了把小師妹的腦袋，軟乎乎的頭發摸起來很舒服，他忍不住又揉了一把，“你平日裏在個個師姐師兄那裏賣乖讨巧，逢人就笑的，為什麽到了林師妹那裏就不一樣了呢？還有，既然都已經得了靈石了，為什麽又要發氣胡亂扔了？我并沒有覺得你貪小便宜，只是覺得沒有必要。”
“還有，你如今年紀不大，氣性倒不小，誰教你這麽跟我說話的，我以前倒不知你這樣小心眼，非得跟所有人鬧得不可開交嗎？”
若是從前，小師妹被這樣教育了會難過會認錯，會表現一個良好的認錯态度來，偏偏南嫣不吃他這一套，就是有錯她也要無理取鬧，更何況她這次還沒錯呢。
南嫣聽了這話立馬更不高興了，她一巴掌拍開那人的手掌，眼裏明顯更委屈了，“你教訓我，你只會教訓我。你覺得是我在鬧，可我鬧什麽了？明明就是你送我的東西，憑什麽還要讓我拿出來還給別人，哪有這樣的道理，就算是師姐就可以這樣欺負人嗎？”
大師兄有些苦惱的皺起眉，他向來不善言辭，也不知道如何安慰人？
尤其這件事情，他本意只是不想讓兩人吵起來而已，卻不曾想小師妹會這般生氣在意。
他輕吐了一口濁氣，薄唇緊抿，最後實在沒辦法了，只能緩着聲音解釋，“并非你想的那樣，我也不是在教訓你。我只是覺得我們之間的關系更親近些，所以我才會對你說這一番話，倘若你真的不高興，往後我不會再對你說這些話了，你覺得這樣可以了嗎？”
南嫣又伸手抓住他的袖子，眼圈越來越紅了，“不可以，你說你會管着我的，你現在說這話又是什麽意思？是不是覺得看清我的本質了，覺得自己現在已經不喜歡我了，又開始對我撒手不管了？”
大師兄揉了揉發脹的眉心，真是被這丫頭折騰到沒脾氣了。
這可真的是，說她兩句也不對，不說也不對，這丫頭就是故意在折騰人的是不是？
風寂雪輕抒了一口氣，突然有些無奈，“嫣嫣，別鬧了。我從來都沒有說過是你的錯，也沒有怪過你，你今日到底怎麽了？為何對我發這樣大的脾氣？”
南嫣抿唇，眼裏冒着一絲絲的淚花，就要跟他胡攪蠻纏，“因為我受委屈了，我不高興，你居然都沒有抱我哄我，你心裏是不是還覺得這只是一件小事，覺得我小題大做？好，既然這樣的話，那你趕緊把我送你的小肚兜還來，我不給你了。”
大師兄皺了皺眉，沉默了一瞬，直覺有種不太好的預感，“說這話是什麽意思？”
南嫣擡眸幽怨盯着他，語氣毫不猶豫地回怼道，“還能是什麽意思？小肚兜我不想送給你了，我要送給別的好師兄去，難道只許你要回從前送我的東西，我就不能找你要回以前給你的東西嗎？”
“你既然這般不在意我，我的東西你也別收着好了，我全都送給別人去，我看你是不是也能無動于衷，能受的了這種事情？”
她說完轉身就要走，卻被人一把抓住手腕，捏的緊緊的，不肯松開。
那一瞬間，四周的氣息頓時冷了下來。
風寂雪的眼神也冷了下來，他是沒想到她居然還存了這樣的心思，這貼身衣物也是能随便送給其他男人的嗎？
這丫頭的膽子真是愈發大了。
風寂雪眸色也暗了不少，面皮冷的好似又回到了那天教訓她時的模樣了。
他伸手捏着那丫頭臉頰上的軟肉，明顯有些生氣了，“好，你要送給哪個好師兄，你說？哪個敢收，你看我明天會不會敲斷他們的腿？”
大師兄的聲音像是從喉嚨裏擠出來的，壓得有些低，清清冷冷的，周身都散發着某種冷冽的氣息，可見他是真的生氣了。
偏偏南嫣聽了之後卻更惱火了，眼神也變得愈發生氣了，非要跟他對着幹，“憑什麽？難道就因為你是大師兄嗎？憑什麽你能生氣，我卻不能生氣？這不就是只許州官放火卻不準百姓點燈嗎？哪有這樣的道理的？”
這話倒是說得風寂雪動作一頓，抿唇看她，“這不一樣，不許混淆視聽。”
“這就是一樣的。”
小師妹在怼人的時候理由是一套一套的，牙尖嘴利的一點也不肯饒人。
風寂雪只覺得頭疼。
這丫頭就為了這麽點小事糾纏這麽久？
她說着，那眼尾還泛起了一絲紅意，喉嚨裏的聲音也有些輕啞了，“你看看你說的話是不是很過分？你就只會欺負我脾氣好，你往後要是再敢用那種眼神瞧着我，我才不管你是不是我的大師兄，我說不理你就真的不理你了。”
大師兄這下終于明白小師妹的怨氣從何而來了。
大概是覺得他這次站在林師妹的角度上，幫林師妹從她手中要回了東西，所以覺得自己受委屈了。
這事也确實是他做的不對。
但真實情況也并非她所想的那樣，于是風寂雪擰了擰眉，瞧了瞧四周無人。
忽然伸手一把将小師妹抱進了懷裏，手掌拍着她的後背，有些無奈地哄着，“好，是我的錯，我不該惹你生氣，我沒有把話說清楚，我從來沒有跟林師妹站在一起同仇敵忾欺負你，你說，你想怎麽樣，我都依你？”
小師妹見他終于認識到了自己的錯誤，臉上表情這才緩和了點。
她擡着眸，那眼裏好似蒙上了一層水汽，烏黑眼睫上還挂着幾顆淚珠，欲落不落的，一邊生氣難過，還要一邊給自己找福利，“那你晚上□□的時候，不準穿衣服。”
那語氣說的兇巴巴的格外嚣張任性。
大師兄臉龐紅了又白，白了又紅，最後那紅暈都蔓延到了脖子，又從脖子蔓延到耳根，那張白玉似的面龐透着靡麗的紅意。
他實在沒忍住低聲訓斥了句，“嫣嫣，不許胡鬧。”
The little sister turned around and snorted, looking unwilling to cooperate. The eldest senior brother was so angry that he wanted to catch her and beat her up again. This little girl's head was full of shameless thoughts. Who had led her astray? He simply couldn't stand it anymore.
…
The two of them finally reconciled, and on the other side, after Lin Qingshuang got the bracelet, she couldn't wait to return to her own yard.
When she held the bracelet in her hand, she felt a cool sensation penetrating into her bones. She felt as if the bracelet had a kind of attraction to her, which was not the case when she first bought it.
At the beginning, it was just a very ordinary bracelet, and its emerald green color was not as bright as it is now. It seems that this bracelet has indeed changed a lot in Su Nanyue's hands.
Lin Qingshuang recalled the memories of her previous life. She once heard her junior sister inadvertently reveal that this bracelet recognized its owner by dripping blood. However, a divine weapon is still a divine weapon after all, and it has its own pride and self-esteem. The Qiankun bracelet refused to recognize the junior sister as its owner.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingshuang did not hesitate and cut her finger almost instantly, and the bright red blood quickly dripped onto the emerald green bracelet.
But after a moment, the bright red blood merged into the bracelet and disappeared. Lin Qingshuang touched the bracelet, but couldn't feel even a trace of it.
She subconsciously released her consciousness and wanted to take a good look, but she saw the entire bracelet suddenly glowing with emerald green light, followed by a flash of silver light, and a mysterious man in a dark black robe suddenly emerged from the bracelet.
This scene made Lin Qingshuang freeze for a moment, and she couldn't recover for a long time. She had never seen such a scene in the water curtain, and she never thought that there was a living being living in this Qiankun bracelet.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingshuang suddenly came back to her senses. She stared at the handsome man in front of her with burning eyes, with uncontrollable surprise and desire in her eyes.
Lin Qingshuang could no longer suppress her excitement at this moment. She took a step forward almost subconsciously, and in an instant she was closer to Li Jing Wuyan. Then she stared at the man in front of her and blurted out,
"You are the spirit of this bracelet, right?"
If it weren't for the indifference and rejection in that man's eyes, she would have almost stepped forward to touch him to see if he really existed.
Lin Qingshuang had never seen a living spirit of an artifact before. It is said that everything in the world has a spirit, but in the world of cultivation, it is extremely difficult for an artifact to give birth to a spirit. If people in the world of cultivation knew the true use of the Qiankun bracelet, I am afraid that it would set off another bloody storm.
Such a magical artifact, but she missed it in her previous life, and let that little junior sister take advantage of it. However, it seems that she did not get the advantage completely, otherwise she would not have willingly returned a bracelet that had already given birth to an artifact spirit. Fortunately, she caught up in this life.
Jing Wuyan glanced at the bracelet on her hand, raised his eyelids slightly, and his gaze slowly moved up and slowly fell on the woman's face. He looked at the desire and passion revealed in the woman's eyes with indifference.
"Weapon spirit?"
Jing Wuyan opened his thin lips slightly, as if that was the same question that that little bitch had asked when she first threatened him to show up.
To be honest, this is the look in the eyes of every normal cultivator in the world of cultivation when they see him. He has always thought that he does not dislike this kind of cultivator who will do anything to cultivate, pursues strength, and sees everything intertwined with interests and desires. After all, such people are the most suitable ones to survive in the world of cultivation.
But at this moment, another pair of dark and round eyes appeared in his mind. Those eyes were particularly arrogant when glaring at people. There was never any big ambition in their heads. They pursued eating, drinking and pleasure all day long and did not seek to make progress. They quarreled with him over a few spiritual plants and made a lot of noise.
Although he would occasionally have some greedy thoughts, at his most greedy, he would only be greedy for a few low-level spirit stones.
It's really...blind and stupid.
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in Jing Wuyan's eyes.
When he met the woman's gaze, he frowned unconsciously. Perhaps it was because he had been staring at her like that for too long. Suddenly being stared at with such a determined look made him a little impatient, so the look in his eyes became increasingly cold.
Jing Wuyan glanced at Lin Qingshuang, his face expressionless, but the coldness emanating from his body made it difficult for people to approach him.
Although he didn't hate this look full of desire and covetousness, he hated it when it was directed at him.
"Oh, put away those stupid thoughts in your heart that want me to recognize you as my master. You are not qualified yet. I am not helping you to be reborn to let you do something stupid. I need you to make good use of all the resources in the Qiankun bracelet and ascend to the upper realm as soon as possible."
At this point, Jing Wuyan's eyes turned even colder, his thin lips slightly opened, his eyes filled with scrutiny, "If your mutated ice spirit root wasn't so special and one in a million, do you think I would waste my soul power to help you be reborn again?"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Qingshuang's expression changed.
After Jing Wuyan finished speaking, he looked at her reaction, his eyes becoming increasingly cold and indifferent. If it wasn't for the need for his spiritual roots, he wouldn't have cared about this idiot who had been doing stupid things all her life. For the sake of a man, she was trapped to death by her own inner demons and ended up dying. This showed how bad her character was.
It was because of her death that he had to draw out half of his own soul power to help her stabilize her soul, and finally he was reborn. As for the things in his previous life, because of the time reversal, his memory only ended on the day she died.
What happened afterwards, along with the woman's death, returned to the beginning.
However, perhaps he changed the past and violated the laws of the natural operation of the universe, so many things also changed accordingly.
If he had not disturbed the operation of the Heavenly Dao in the lower world this time and exhausted all his soul power, he would not have been unable to deal with those low-level monsters in Baiwu Mountain. And as for that little girl, from the moment she threatened him, he had no way to get rid of her, for fear that she would backfire and his consciousness would fall into a deep sleep.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingshuang took a step back almost instantly. Her face turned pale uncontrollably, and there was even a hint of panic in her eyes.
To be honest, since her rebirth, she has gained a lot of benefits with the memories of her previous life, and has found many opportunities in the Qingxu Secret Realm that did not originally belong to her.
Rebirth was her greatest reliance, and also the trump card and secret deep in her heart. But now, the secret of her rebirth was suddenly exposed without hesitation.
She never thought that this person would know about this, and she never thought that her rebirth was man-made. Can someone really be so powerful?
She had always believed that her rebirth was God's compensation for her wrongdoing, allowing her to be reborn to seek justice.
But now, this mysterious man in front of her told her that the reason she could be reborn was because of him?
Who is this person? Can a spirit of an artifact really be so powerful? And why did he help her to be reborn?
Does Junior Sister Su know about this?
Lin Qingshuang panicked and her mind became confused, but she soon calmed down. No... Junior Sister Su would definitely not know. Judging from her memories of her previous life, this person had never appeared in front of Junior Sister Su, and it must be the same in this life.
This person obviously looked down on Junior Sister Su because of her poor talent, which is why he refused to appear in front of her.
But what did this person mean by saying these words? Is he an enemy or a friend? Since he has already helped her, why is he so resistant and repulsive to her? She could clearly feel that this person was emitting a sense of impatience with her.
