The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 233 Reminiscence, Suspicious Points

The two figures slowly sat down and passed away.

Holding the sleeping Feng Yuqing in his arms, Feng Ling felt no joy at his breakthrough and looked up at the white-clad figure opposite him with a slight tremor in his body.

"Ning Shuang...were all the things you said lying to me?"

Feng Ling forcibly suppressed his inner rage, guilt, self-blame, and heart-wrenching pain, trying his best to remain calm.

……

"Junior brother, do you know that I really hate killing people? After I kill them, I always feel inexplicably sad and upset, but I have no choice but to kill them!"

Alas, why is there so much conflict in the world? Can't people live in peace together? Why must they fight to the death before they're satisfied?

In a cave at Shili Slope, a woman in white, with a melancholy expression, uttered a soft, mournful sound.

"Senior sister, there's no need to overthink it. These evil spirit masters are all treacherous, cunning, and cruel. It's hard to kill them, but if we don't, they'll continue to wreak havoc and harm the people of the mainland..."

There will be even more deaths and injuries, and the impact will be far greater, so please don't worry, senior sister. They deserve to die..."

The man in black spoke gently, bowing his head to comfort the frail woman in his arms.

"Really... did he deserve to die?" A trace of sadness appeared in the woman's tired eyes.

"Senior Sister, after you saved Qi Cheng, you suffered some internal injuries, but you had clearly retreated safely. Why did you choose to turn back?" The man in black changed the subject.

"After killing that tenth-level evil spirit master, I was worried that the others would continue to harm people, so I turned around to try and eliminate this huge scourge. But I didn't expect that my body would have some problems, leading to..."

The woman in white looked embarrassed, and the man nodded slightly upon hearing this, without delving too deeply into the matter.

……

A memory, as if it happened yesterday, suddenly surfaced in Feng Ling's mind, each word and phrase causing excruciating pain.

It was during the time Feng Ling saved Leng Ning Shuang at Shili Slope that she personally explained what she had said. Now, upon closer reflection, this ambiguous statement is riddled with flaws, yet it held a profound meaning at the time…

……

"No, that's not how it is..." Leng Ning Shuang staggered back two or three steps, completely disoriented. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Yes, it's true that Leng Ning Shuang is an evil spirit master!
But what she said about hating killing and hating conflict was true.

At this moment, her heart was also aching. She knew that accidentally hurting Feng Yuqing would leave Feng Ling with a deep knot in his heart and a misunderstanding, and he would never be able to wash away the reputation of being hypocritical.

"How I wish... that the woman nestled in your arms right now, causing you anxiety and heartache, was me!"

Leng Ningshuang murmured to herself, watching the woman in green being held in the arms of the man in purple, a piercing pain rising involuntarily throughout her body. She wondered if, without Feng Yuqing's selfless act of blocking the sword, she would have truly been able to bring herself to stab Feng Ling with that earlier strike.

All she knew was that at the time, she felt a deep resentment in her heart, a resentment that came from Feng Ling, who first killed Li Tian and then Feng Yuqing!

"I finally understand!" Feng Ling's gaze suddenly turned cold as he gave the woman in white a mocking smile: "Heh, Leng Ning Shuang... that's not your real name, is it? Your real name is Hei Yan, isn't it!"

“Feng Ling, you…” Upon hearing this, Leng Ning Shuang was shocked. She wanted to deny it outright, but then she remembered a withered figure.

With a somber expression, he said: "Perhaps he hinted at it to Feng Ling. Given Feng Ling's intelligence, it's hard to guarantee that he won't discover some clues about me."

"A few years ago, I used the alias Black Smoke. Now, my alias is: Cold Frost!"

The woman in white suddenly reverted to her usual icy demeanor, looking at Feng Ling with a cold smile: "However, I'm quite surprised. How did you find out?"

"There are too many suspicious points about you. Your words and actions in Sunset City, even the timing of your appearances, are all highly coincidental, so coincidental that they could inadvertently betray you!"

A large amount of ghostly and divine power was released from his right hand, which, along with the cold and murderous aura, wrapped around the Fire-Tipped Spear. Feng Ling's face was slightly pale, but his aura as he stared at Leng Ning Shuang grew stronger.

Previously, Gu Chen had distorted the truth, and Leng Ning Shuang had shown a strong sense of disgust towards him.

Feng Ling felt he had seen that look of disgust somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it. Now he remembered—on the eve of Wei Yun's massacre, Hei Yan had also looked at Ling Chi and Ling Han with disgust and contempt!

This is the first point of doubt!

When Feng Ling first met Leng Ningshuang in Gujing Village, she was wearing a white veil, which gave him a familiar feeling.

In his eagerness to subdue Gui Lingzi, Feng Ling mistakenly believed that her aloof temperament was similar to his own assassin aura, leading to this misconception.

Now, he recalled that Leng Ning Shuang's masked appearance was seven or eight parts similar to Hei Yan's when he was masked. The only difference was that Hei Yan was covered with a black cloth, while Leng Ning Shuang was covered with a white veil.

This is the second point of doubt!
When the evil spirit masters besieged the Weiyun Sect, Hei Yan, with her cultivation level, could have easily used her internal energy to resist the poison's effects when she realized she had been poisoned by the Seven-Step Soul-Severing Powder, but she did not do so!
What's more, she only took two steps before collapsing to the ground, and then everything was just like a pre-arranged scene, with Blackwater Butcher forced to send Black Smoke out of the battlefield!

This style of doing things is so similar to what Leng Ningshuang said about hating conflict when she was at Shilipo!
Now, all the evil spirit masters led by Hei Shui Tu have perished, including Xu Lao San and others who parted ways with him and infiltrated the Yuqing Sect.

Logically, the black smoke should have been lurking in Sunset City or Jade Purity Sect, but it seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving Feng Ling completely baffled.

Therefore, there are two points of doubt!
Only now did he realize why Leng Ningshuang had inadvertently harbored a subtle hostility towards Ling Weiyun's clone.

Because she is Black Smoke! The Black Smoke that lurks deepest and hides the most!

The two had no grudges against each other, and apart from the black smoke, Feng Ling could not offer any other reasonable explanation.

Every time a baby hatches, it's a new beginning!
Life is not sustained by hope; rather, hope arises from perseverance… Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages present a pure land for your souls.
