Wenren Xue exclaimed in disbelief, "You are the chosen one! You are the protagonist! How can you be so selfish?!"
Tianning: "So what if I'm selfish? What's it to you?"
Wenren Xue: "..."
Unable to bear looking at the old man's face in the water mirror, Tianning silently turned his head away.
However, this subtle movement took on a different meaning in Wenren Xue's eyes...
She really couldn't bear to see that old man die!
"Hahaha, what kind of chosen one is to save the world and all living beings?" Wenren Xue suddenly burst into laughter. She looked at Tian Ning's retreating appearance and found it extremely ridiculous: "Tian Ning, so you are just as despicable as me!"
To abandon the lives of loved ones for one's own selfish gain—that is hypocrisy!
Wenren Xue tried to grab Tianning's hair to force her to look at the scene in the water mirror: "Look at that poor old man, he must be terrified! He was hoping you could save him soon, but you cruelly abandoned him so that you could live!"
Tianning: "..."
Tianning can't take it anymore, there's no need to torture her like this!
She avoided Wenren Xue's touch, her fingertips tracing the tip of the sword, and before the other could see, a drop of blood was absorbed by the iron sword.
“Wenren Xue,” Tianning looked at her and directly exposed the truth: “Didn’t you ever consider that he might not be him at all?”
"What did you say……"
Tian Ning saw that Wenren Xue was clearly stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and the panicked expression on her face seemed genuine.
Immediately, she anxiously communicated with the system in her mind: "What's going on? Didn't you say you could solve everything? Didn't you say it would be foolproof? How could that old man be a fake!"
"System! You fucking screwed me over at the most crucial step?!"
She never expected the system to lie to her!
Mingming had tied herself to the system in order to deal with Tianning. She thought the ship wouldn't sink, since the system was so powerful that she didn't even have to do anything to convince the Demon Realm to trust her and join forces with her to kill Tianning!
But the system lied to her about the most crucial thing!
The system initially denied it and tried to continue deceiving her, saying that Tianning was lying!
After so many encounters, and looking into Tian Ning's eyes, Wenren Xue was absolutely certain that the system was lying!
"That old man is dead. He was just an ordinary man. He fell seriously ill not long after returning to Wenren Mansion from Tianning and has been bedridden ever since. The conditions on the mountain are poor, so it is only natural for an elderly person to die."
The system's mechanical female voice tried its best to comfort Wenren Xue: "Calm down. Tianning knows nothing about what's happening in the mortal realm. She must think that old man is still alive..."
Wenren Xue: "But what's the use? You brought a fake, and she's already seen through it!"
The system didn't expect Tianning to recognize him so quickly. The people it sent specifically asked the farmers at the foot of the mountain about the old man's appearance and behavior. Logically, he shouldn't have been exposed so quickly.
Now, it's impossible to make Tianning commit suicide.
It can only calm Wenren Xue down, find a way to intimidate Tian Ning, and then quickly find an opportunity to kill her and end all of this!
Although I cursed the system as useless countless times in my heart!
But given the current situation, Wenren Xue could only feign composure. She said, "Tianning, actually, that fake old man was just a smokescreen. The real old man has already been taken into custody by us..."
Tian Ning ignored her nonsense and immediately made Jian Jian shine.
Before Wenren Xue could finish speaking, the ordinary iron sword in her hand transformed into a colorful magical girl wand, illuminating the entire space within the transparent barrier!
Wenren Xue knew perfectly well that the Heavenly Fate Sword couldn't break through the barrier specially prepared by the system, but she inexplicably felt panicked. Tian Ning must be going to do something... She had to die immediately! She couldn't let her run wild any longer!
