only……
"Heh... what difference does it make? In the end, someone has to sacrifice..."
Ran Xinxue chuckled and walked towards the door. Outside the tightly closed door, sunlight streamed in, while inside, it was dark and gloomy.
But when she finally reached the door, she pushed it open with a bang.
When all the sunlight poured down and fell on me.
She felt no warmth at all, only coldness.
The coldness isn't because the sunlight isn't warm; perhaps it's because I no longer deserve to be warmed.
She couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, if I didn't do it, someone else would have. It was something we couldn't do from the beginning... Wei Tu, don't blame me."
She walked down the steps one by one.
His expression changed step by step.
Until that slight guilt and insecurity disappeared.
His anxiety deepened as he walked toward the mountain gate, watching the three figures approach.
He wore an expression of extreme emotion and immense relief.
"It's good that you're back...it's good that you're back..."
...PS: Let me think about this...I need to put more effort into writing this plot.
85. The Newest Version 2.0 of "Hidden Motives"!
"That brat Wei Tu is actually back!"
Inside the gate of Qingting Peak.
With a gloomy expression, Yuan Wei seemed to be talking to himself.
However, he wasn't talking to himself, because kneeling right opposite him was his beloved disciple, Li Hanyang, who had successfully completed the trial.
Li Hanyang felt a strong sense of unease upon hearing this name.
This discomfort is just like swallowing a fly... and it's just as unpleasant to find out that only half of it is left!
As a young man in his prime, and with recognized talent within the sect, Li Hanyang's aspirations were indeed very high from the start.
The person he initially wanted to choose as his Daoist partner was Su Mi from Xuejian Peak, and later he was even more amazed by Jiang Ying from Xiaoyuan Peak.
Of course, everyone has ambition, and in Li Hanyang's view, it is normal for a capable and promising man like himself to have three wives and four concubines.
What made him uncomfortable was that both of them had close, even intimate, relationships with the boy named Wei Tu!
Therefore, Li Hanyang was determined from the beginning to humiliate Wei Tu and make himself seem superior in the eyes of the two girls.
The sect competition was his first chance to show his skills, but he messed it up on his very first attempt, essentially making a complete mess of it.
Not only did they fail to humiliate Wei Tu, they were the ones who humiliated him!
He refused to believe it was his own carelessness. Although the other party was also making progress, he felt that he could still do it if he got serious and didn't let his guard down.
Thus, the swordsmanship exchange with Lu Chenzong became a second opportunity.
The second time... it was even more outrageous.
If the first time it was like soiling your pants, the second time it was like falling into the latrine.
Not only did he lose, but the boy also defeated the most powerful opponent, and easily with two sword strikes!
This gave Li Hanyang a sense of powerlessness. He knew that after all this groundwork, it was impossible for the two of them to get along amicably. But in terms of strength, he was no match for him at all, and a deep sense of powerlessness and resentment welled up inside him.
It feels like the other person is someone who has no real skills but is just luckier than me, yet I can't prove that I'm better than them!
So when Li Hanyang heard Wei Tu's name, he felt nauseous and even furious.
Upon hearing his master mention it, he scoffed, "So what if I'm back... I passed the trial too..."
Yuan Wei glanced at his disciple and roughly knew what the boy's knot was in. He wouldn't bother with others, but this was his beloved disciple, so he spoke calmly.
“This time is different.”
"What's different..."
"Do you know that our ancestor is nearing his end?"
"Ancestor..."
Li Hanyang knew, of course, that although Ran Xinxue was the sect leader of Yuanjian Sect, the reason why Ran Xinxue was able to maintain her position as sect leader was because of the support of the old ancestor who had lived for over 1,500 years but had not yet ascended to immortality.
This is also a great wonder of Nan Jianzhou.
She hasn't ascended to immortality at 1,500 years old, yet she has stubbornly lived to this day, and no one knows how she did it.
However, because of this, no one dared to make a hasty judgment, and the status of the Yuanjian Sect rose accordingly because of the existence of this patriarch. The patriarch has rarely appeared in the Yuanjian Sect recently, and almost none of the younger disciples have seen him.
"Is she going to pass away again?"
"What are you saying, you brat!"
Yuan Wei raised his hand and slapped Li Hanyang.
Li Hanyang covered his head and whispered, "I'm just telling the truth... Over 1,500 years old... it's normal to be impotent, right?"
Yuan Wei nodded. "That's normal, but why am I bringing it up with you? It's because there's something abnormal about it!"
"What's wrong with it?"
"Did you know that before the sect trial, the patriarch had Ran Xinxue specifically seek out Wei Tu?"
"What... such a thing exists?!"
Li Hanyang's eyes widened. He realized the gravity of the situation. The ancestor had specifically asked Ran Xinxue to find a young disciple—what did that mean? This was an incredible opportunity! Who knew what that old monster was hiding in the end?
Yuan Wei nodded.
"And as far as I know... Ran Xinxue gave Wei Tu a mission... probably some kind of trial, and now he's back safely. You know what that means, right?"
"This...this is unfair!"
A surge of resentment welled up inside Li Hanyang. That boy was too lucky! He stole all his luck!
There's a thief!
Yuan Wei sighed.
"I think... the Ancestor may be about to pass away, and he is choosing the next successor."
"Why him? Why him...?"
"Because he can beat Yuan Jiacao! Because he can come back alive with Bai Youwei when everyone else is dead!"
Yuan Wei's words made Li Hanyang feel powerless.
But soon, Yuan Wei also sighed and patted Li Hanyang on the shoulder kindly.
"But don't worry... I will do my best."
"Master?"
Li Hanyang didn't know what kind of help Yuan Wei could provide.
Yuan Wei simply said, "There's no other way now that things have come to this. I will go to see Wei Tu and Lu Qingyan, and I will also try to get in touch with Ran Xinxue... I will do my best to make sure that you are the one the Ancestor sees one last time."
Li Hanyang couldn't believe Yuan Wei's words; excitement, agitation, and deep emotion brought tears to his eyes.
"Master...Master..."
Yuan Wei smiled as he looked at his beloved student.
"Alright, Master is only doing his best and there's no guarantee of success. Cultivation ultimately depends on yourself, but if the opportunity arises, I hope you won't miss it."
"Disciple...will do my utmost! If I ever achieve success, I will never forget Master's great kindness!"
Li Hanyang immediately kowtowed.
Yuan Wei helped Li Hanyang up, and then saw Li Hanyang looking at him with a slightly strange expression.
"what happened?"
Li Hanyang hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Master... I'm not your illegitimate child, am I?"
"You brat! I'll spank your ass until it's rotten!!"
-
At the same time, in the Baoguang Hall of the Yuanjian Sect.
The light was still dim, and the candlelight flickered weakly.
Every time Wei Tu saw these things, he wondered, "Is the Yuanjian Sect really that short of money?"
In a moment of slight distraction, the slightly hoarse and deep voice brought him back to his senses.
"I didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen on this trip. Thank you for your hard work."
Wei Tu looked over.
Ran Xinxue, dressed in a white base layer with gold stitching, stood in front of me.
She faced herself, revealing a slight smile that looked both elegant and alluring.
That curvaceous figure, and the contrast between her seemingly proper yet lewd physique, will ignite an insatiable desire in men to conquer her.
Wei Tu had known this woman's character for a long time; his eyes were clear.
"It's nothing, I'm back alive anyway. As long as I haven't failed your mission, Sect Master, that's all that matters."
Wei Tu handed over the Sunfire Grass he had collected in the last few days to Ran Xinxue.
Ran Xinxue put away the Sunfire Grass, seemingly not really caring about the grass.
She simply gazed at Wei Tu with a smile.
"Actually, I'm very curious about how you survived there. You might have been able to do it alone, after all, you're quite intelligent. But there was also Bai Youwei... Hmm... That's unbelievable."
