Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 431 The truth I dare not face

The vine whip formed by ice crystals rolled up a bone-chilling gust of wind, and the light of You Su's sword splashed in the eyes of Venerable Qianlong like a stroke of a brush.

The powerful sword shattered the weak flowers around it, but the tip of the sword just stopped three inches between her eyebrows - the ice dragon pattern floating between Venerable Qianlong's wide sleeves suddenly condensed and turned into scales covering her slender arms.

"A mayfly trying to shake a tree." She flicked her finger on the sword's spine, and ice cracks spread along the sword's body to You Su's mouth. "You can't even break my protective body qi."

She deliberately gave You Su the opportunity to swing his sword, hoping that he would understand the gap between him and her. She looked down upon the powerless You Su with a contemptuous smile.

"You have survived the half month you were stranded at the bottom of the sea. Otherwise, how could you not only not make any progress, but even your sword skills are worse than when you were at the wellhead?"

The young man staggered back, the blood surging in his throat dyed his clothes red, and he seemed to have decided to retreat.

Venerable Qianlong took in all the changes in You Su's expression, and a bolder idea came to his mind.

"I can see that you are not an evil person. At the age of 19, your transformation into a feathered state will shock the world. Don't let the monsters bewitch your mind and still be stubborn. You have a bright future. A better world is waiting for you, and I can take you to that world."

Using both kindness and force, and both soft and hard tactics, has always been her most commonly used method to control her subordinates.

You Su was indeed a rare talent, but the key reason why she was willing to put aside her anger and try to win him over was not out of appreciation, but because she felt that if she switched the only ally of the Lord of the Dragon Palace to her camp, the traitor would feel heartbroken.

This is her punishment for those who betray their ideals. How much she liked her former self, how much she hated her after she found out that she had given up her ideals.

She continued to speak, adding fuel to the fire that would shake You Su's position:

"I'm very good at judging people. People like you are so stubborn that they won't give up until they achieve their goals. In fact, we are the same kind of people. Your sister is very clear-headed, so clear that I couldn't bear to hurt her, so she just bled a little, and her essence was not damaged at all. Don't be stubborn and regard fighting against power as the right way. In a few years, the people of Beiaozhou will thank you for your timely awakening."

You Su half-knelt on the ground covered with vines, holding his sword, and laughed. When he looked up, his eyes were burning with a fire brighter than the sword:
"Do you really think... that you have planned everything?"

Venerable Qianlong frowned, crushing a weeping rose with his toes, the juice from the petals snaking like a venomous snake: "When I measured the frozen land of Beiao with my own hands, your ancestors were not yet born. This land of Beiao is soaked with my blood and sweat, and you naively think that you can just say a few heart-piercing words-"

The words stopped abruptly.

A nine-petal colorful lotus blossomed silently behind her. The tip of Fairy Wangshu's sword penetrated an inch of the black ice dragon's armor, and the frosty blade reflected the suddenly shrinking pupils of Venerable Qianlong.

Bai Ze, or rather, the Lord of the Dragon Palace was leaning against the door of the black stone prison, holding a broken piece of ice mirror in her fingertips. The ice chips that should have been embedded in her wounds were now reflecting thousands of illusions in the mirror.

"A mirror reflects the truth, but its reflection hides the false."

The girl stepped out from the shadows, the ice crystals in her hair shining against the broken snow on Bai Ze's forehead, "I told you long ago that the art of mirror flowers and water moons is more difficult than you think."

Venerable Qianlong's pupils flickered continuously. She turned back to look at Bai Ze who was intact, and her originally beautiful face actually revealed a hint of ferocity:
"We agreed when we were practicing this technique that we would never use it to deceive ourselves!"

In her opinion, the crime of betrayal committed by the Lord of Dragon Palace was an even greater crime.

"I'm not the one who lied to you! You only see the illusion in my hands, but you don't know that you are in a mirage!" Seeing the cold eyes of the Dragon Palace Master, his voice became even colder.

You Su turned a deaf ear to this 'self-scolding' drama, because in this brief moment, the only thing in his eyes was the woman in the fluttering white dress and the jade rabbit on her face.

The pair of blue eyes that looked at him eagerly flashed a barely perceptible throbbing, the joy of reunion after a long separation quietly blossomed between her pupils, and was then replaced by deep concern.

You Su endured the pain from his injury, wiped the blood from his lips, and smiled, his smile was soaked with the smell of rust. He stared at Wangshu quietly, at this moment, time seemed to freeze, and all the grievances and hatreds became the background.

The long-lost senior sister and brother did not need to speak, but it was more than a thousand words. It was like when You Su saw the image in the mirror, he determined that the image was fake, because the senior sister would never leave him here and go to teach a bad guy who might deceive him a lesson.

And Xiaohua, who quietly poked her head out from the collar of the senior sister at this time, also proved this point. The senior sister and Bai Ze must have relied on Xiaohua's ability to drill into the soil to break through the numerous restrictions and enter this flower cage!
Bai Ze, who was confronting the Venerable Qianlong, noticed You Su's look, and for some reason she felt a little bitter. However, in the face of the great event, the bitterness disappeared immediately.

"Fairy Wangshu, have you forgotten? This woman is the one who tricked your junior brother into falling into the Demonic Abyss! She is deliberate and malicious! If you want to wake up your junior brother, you should never go along with her!" Venerable Qianlong spoke righteously, and did not forget to instigate Wangshu. "Your heart is pure by nature. You knew that everything I said was true that day. How could I have lied to you? You can ask her a few questions to see if she feels as at ease as I do!"

It was a pity that her words did not shake the Snow Sword of Fairy Wangshu at all, which made her really puzzled. From her point of view, You Su fell into the evil well with Bai Ze because of Bai Ze, so she could not lie when she talked about this matter, which was the sincerity that Fairy Wangshu could see.

What went wrong that made her switch sides?

Could it be that there was something wrong with the picture I showed her that day?
But the innate pure heart can see the truth of people's hearts, but can't tell the difference between things, because things have no heart. She guessed that You Su and another self fell into the devil's abyss for a long time and did not die. It must be a great opportunity, so Bai Ze is very likely to become the person in her painting, because that is her when she was twelve years old!
They became aware of each other's existence when they were twelve years old. Their personalities and abilities complemented each other and they became two sides of the same coin, which resulted in a one plus one greater than two effect. They have since risen rapidly. However, the growth of their status and power has also widened the differences in their opinions and ideas, and it has become difficult for them to coexist.

They began to think of ways to take control of this body for a long time. Whenever Venerable Qianlong woke up, she would see the portrait of her when she was twelve years old on the table. She knew that this was the Lord of the Dragon Palace reminiscing about their twelve years old. That cowardly self wanted to go back to that time!
It was this point that made Venerable Qianlong determined to kick this weak and naive self out of his body! How could a person who wanted to go back to the past when encountering difficulties accomplish something drastic and earth-shaking!
Then, Bai Ze would definitely use that image to explain the whole story to You Su in order to seek help, because that face is the best proof!

She had even predicted this perfectly, and with the magic of mirror flowers and water moons, how could this simple-minded girl possibly see the flaw in the picture of jumping into the well? !
She seemed to realize something in a trance, and glanced at the twelve-year-old 'self', "I didn't expect that after sleeping for thirty years, you have mastered skills that you didn't understand before. You don't have to learn from me to play with people's hearts. Instead, I want to learn from you. What did you say to her?"

There was half contempt and half affirmation in his tone.

Bai Ze was stunned, and understood the meaning of Venerable Qianlong's words. She attributed Wangshu's defection to himself, and believed that he had used more powerful mental skills to change Fairy Wangshu's attitude.

"I didn't say anything." Bai Ze replied.

Venerable Qianlong sneered, "I know how much blood is on your hands, and you still want to pretend to be noble in front of me?"

Bai Ze stared into her eyes and said calmly, "Believe it or not, it won't change your defeat."

She said this with certainty, because she really didn't say anything. Thinking back to when she met Fairy Wangshu just now, the only one who spoke was this girl who was said to be taciturn.

"Do you like Junior Brother?"

The fairy she just met asked her directly about the system crash, and her hesitation gave her the answer.

The next moment, the dragon rope on her body broke into several pieces.

"I hope my junior brother doesn't like you." The girl said again.

She expressed her possessiveness in a very innocent way, which made Bai Ze unable to get angry. He even felt a little guilty for stealing someone's love.

……

"The human heart that can be seen directly is not called the human heart. This is the principle that my junior brother taught me."

Wangshu saw the great frustration in Venerable Qianlong's chest. She was a person who was very frugal with words and was not someone who would explain to her enemies.

But at this moment her heart was filled with great joy, because she had successfully distinguished between good and bad on her own, just like a living person, so she couldn't wait to show off her learning achievements in front of You Su, just like a good student in the school who was expecting praise from the teacher.

Feeling You Su's eager gaze, Wang Shu raised his thin lips hidden under the mask, and even his tone was a little inappropriately melodious. With a warm heart, he uttered a declaration that sounded like his life goal:

"I don't want to be a pure spirit, I want to be a tainted person."

Venerable Qianlong seemed to be in a trance when she heard this, and even her momentum was lost a little. She really didn't expect that there would be such fools in the world, who would treat the pure heart that so many people wanted but could not obtain as a worn-out shoe; but she suddenly felt that the girl was wise but foolish, and that human hearts were ignorant and treacherous, so how could she tell it clearly just by looking?

But for someone like her, being discouraged is just to fill up more energy. She will never doubt her goal and the path she is taking. Any setback will only make her more determined. The layer of black ice armor condensed almost solidly at a very fast speed, and its texture changed from transparent to pale, forcing out the snow sword of Fairy Wangshu.

Her long black hair fell like a waterfall, and the arrogance between her eyebrows made people bow down to her. She accused in a hysterical tone, accusing herself:
"Have you forgotten that nine out of ten tribes in Bei'ao were left with nothing and they exchanged their children for food? Some people said that the soil was dirty and the flowers were weird, but when I sprinkled rice seeds in their bowls, they all shut up! I will save Bei'aozhou, which you can't save! I don't ask you to help me, I just want you to be silent! Why do you have to stop me!"

Bai Ze's eyes were filled with sorrow, and he shook his head and sighed:

"What You Su said is true. Many people have teamed up to deceive you... Although you are in the upper realm of Dongxu, you are also aware of your true strength. Otherwise, with your temper, you would only want to kill us all, and how could you try to let Fairy Wangshu help you. You are smarter than me. Calm down and don't do things that hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred. I never thought of stopping you, I just think you are taking too big a step. Until now, I also want to help you."

These words were so sincere and heartfelt that Venerable Qianlong was in a trance for a while, but suddenly he felt a more ferocious paranoia:

"Good...very good! I underestimated your self-torture trick!"

As she finished speaking, her aura surged, and petals that had fallen all over the ground, wrapped in cold crystals, surrounded her as she stood in the air.

You Su felt a surge of anger in his chest when he heard this. He could no longer endure it and started to curse:
"You old woman are really stubborn! Do you think that everyone in the world doesn't understand you? Do you think that everyone in the world wants to go against your ideals? I think you take yourself too seriously! I thought you would wake up in time and make amends, but who knew you were a turtle who only dared to make mistakes again and again and bully others in his own nest!"

"Wrong?" Venerable Qianlong looked down at the young man. She stretched out her hand and pulled out a pool of frozen soil under the sea of ​​flowers. "I would rather be a madman who drinks poison to quench his thirst than be a saint who sits back and watches the people freeze to death!"

Frost spread from the fingertips of Venerable Qianlong, and ice crystal vines wrapped in broken snow condensed into three transparent spears. As her wide sleeves rolled up, the spear tips were already hanging above the heads of the three people, and the dark blue cold air was aggressive.

Fairy Wangshu has already unsheathed her snow sword and is ready for battle. Her blue eyes are fixed on the ice spear above You Su's head, ready to protect her junior brother at any time.

"It is not the place for ants to interfere in my Bei'aozhou!"

When the tense atmosphere was about to collapse, Bai Ze suddenly bit his tongue, and blood mist splashed in the void, bursting into thousands of ice crystals. The moment the blood beads collided with the ice crystals, the entire dungeon suddenly lost its bright colors, revealing the mottled stone walls that should have been there.

"Open your eyes and look at your Beiao!"

Bai Ze formed seals with his ten fingers, and blood flowed along the ice ridges and gullies, drawing the reflection of Changshan City on the stone wall. The wheat fields corroded by black water were surging with human-faced insect eggs, twisted evil spirits kept crawling out of the boiling blood pool, and new monsters wrapped in mucus were eating the remains of the monks guarding the city.

Wangshu's snow sword suddenly wailed, and the blade reflected the image of Ajiu and his sister curled up in the temple. The two children used their frozen fingers to pick at the cracks in the broken statue, trying to dig out a grain of rice that had fallen inside.

"Impossible" Venerable Qianlong's pupils trembled, and the hem of her chi pattern skirt splashed real water as it swept across the reflection of the blood pool. She staggered back, and her heel knocked over the carefully cultivated black jade peony. Those precious flowers nourished by black soil were now rotting into mud at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But no matter how hard it was to believe it, she had to believe it, because she knew very well that Bai Ze was performing the blood oath technique!
Bai Ze's identity is her biggest reliance. Even if she kills You Su and Wang Shu, she dare not kill her. But she took the initiative to sacrifice her life to prove that her illusion is not a false one!
"The sea well you used to transport soil has been converted into an evil formation for sacrificing living people!" You Su roared.

"Shut up!"

Venerable Qianlong tried to strangle You Su's throat with his backhand, and the black ice dragon armor suddenly exploded into thousands of ice spikes.

Wangshu rushed to rescue him with a sword in hand, and the collision between the sword light and the ice spikes actually produced sparks. However, Venerable Qianlong took the opportunity to capture Yousu, the weakest of the three, and broke the prison door with thunderous force, and flew out of the mountain.

At this time, the starry night was dim and the wind was cold.

And the moment she entered the snowstorm, she felt the pressure hidden in it.

They had been waiting here for a long time to stop her!
