Wei Tu smiled, then suddenly thought of something, "That's right, after all, you don't want others to know what you've done, so getting rid of me is very important, but... Sect Master, the people outside are all disciples of the Yuanjian Sect, and my master, Lu Qingyan, is kneeling outside. If something happens to me, how will you explain it to the others, and... will Lu Qingyan believe it?"

Ran Xinxue was stunned for a moment. Indeed... even if she wanted to kill this strange boy, she couldn't do it, could she?

How can we keep it a secret from those people outside?

Lu Qingyan only cared about the safety of this young man. If she couldn't kill him so easily, and the people outside sensed the commotion... she would suffer the same fate of disgrace!

Ran Xinxue suddenly realized a terrible fact: if what Wei Tu said was true, and the ancestor was really dead... then she would be unable to handle the situation, and it would all depend on the young man's mood!

She didn't immediately show her panic, but instead forced herself to remain calm.

Looking at Wei Tu.

He even gave a cold laugh.

“I know you have some skills. Perhaps the Ancestor didn’t completely seize control, but she’s definitely not dead. If you were smart, you’d know the best outcome right now is for us to announce her death, then you cooperate with me, and we’ll find an opportunity to eliminate her later!”

Yes, the ancestor must not be dead, otherwise the life-and-death Gu in my body would have already erupted! I definitely wouldn't have survived this long, and this is the best evidence!

As for cooperating with this boy...?

It was just a temporary measure. Compared to this strange boy, and moreover, a man, Ran Xinxue was absolutely unwilling to cooperate with such a man.

Wei Tu saw right through her little scheme. If it were a naive version of himself, he might have believed such nonsense.

Unfortunately... Wei Tu trusts no one except Su Mi, Lu Qingyan, and Jiang Ying.

He smiled and picked up Ran Xinxue's sword from the ground, approaching her step by step.

Ran Xinxue was stunned. She really didn't want to fight with this boy, and she didn't want the situation to become irreversible in this way.

But to Ran Xinxue's surprise, Wei Tu walked over and handed her the sword.

He even gently took her soft hand, grasped the hilt of the sword, and then placed the tip of the sword against his heart.

She didn't understand what it meant, but she really had the urge to stab the boy in the heart with a sword.

Wei Tu only spoke slowly after all this had been said last night.

“I know that old thing planted a life-and-death curse on you, in your soul. If she dies, you will die too, right? So you are still alive and still have illusions. The old thing you rely on must still be alive. Even the slightest bit of it is a hope for you to survive. But I have to tell you a fact.”

Wei Tu looked at the alluring woman who could no longer hide her panic.

“She’s dead, and the Life-and-Death Gu is now planted in my soul. So the situation has become that if I die, you will die.”

"This is impossible!!"

When Ran Xinxue heard the news that the old monster might really be dead, she felt a moment of relief, but when she heard that the young man had transferred the Life and Death Gu, she felt it was absurd.

If this thing were so easy to move, why would she be so helpless?

My hands were already trembling.

Wei Tu smiled.

"Didn't you want to know what I looked at in the Scripture Pavilion? I'll tell you, I went through every book in the Scripture Pavilion, I read what I could and I read what I couldn't. Then I found the record about the Life and Death Gu. The Life and Death Gu does end with the death of one party, but that doesn't mean it can't be transferred. And it's very easy, as long as it enters my spiritual platform."

"This...how could this be..."

Ran Xinxue's mind was in complete chaos.

Wei Tu smiled and said, "So why do you think I gave her the opportunity to enter my spiritual platform? It's to ensure that my plan will not go wrong in the slightest. Do you know how much I prepared for this day and how long I waited? You can't imagine the number, you can't imagine my painstaking efforts. It took more energy than your painstaking efforts to find a scapegoat."

"But...but how do you know all this..."

If Ran Xinxue could hear the story Wei Tu told Ruoyuan in her spiritual realm, she would definitely learn a terrible and bizarre truth. However, she couldn't hear it, so she was still kept in the dark.

Wei Tu didn't need to answer these questions. He simply looked at the tip of the sword in his chest and smiled as he spoke.

"You who think you're the hunters are actually the prey I've been scheming against all along. To gain your attention, I didn't hesitate to use methods that disgust you to make you make up your mind. I displayed my strength and talent to prevent you from setting your sights on others... Now it seems I've succeeded. And if you still don't believe me, you can stab me in. I won't dodge; let's see if you die. I think... after enduring humiliation and hardship until this day, how could you possibly want to die?"

"Stained with fresh snow... how cowardly you are, clinging to life like a disgusting bitch."

"You...you...! You!!"

Ran Xinxue was trembling with rage, wishing she could stab him with a sword. But then she suddenly wondered, why was he provoking her like this? Was he really not afraid of death?

No... because he really did transfer the Life and Death Gu, because Ruoyuan really died! Because if he dies, I will die too!

Ran Xinxue wanted to act impulsively and recklessly, but how could her heart, which had fallen into darkness and was covered in dust, not want to live?

Wei Tu chuckled and raised his head, then reached out and brushed aside the sword tip stained with fresh snow.

"Ding-dong!"

Weak and powerless, like the heart now touched by fresh snow.

The sword fell to the ground. The young and beautiful sect leader stood there blankly, biting her thin lips. Her face was flushed with anger, but pale with helplessness.

Dead end...

He held all the initiative.

I can't kill him; he could easily ruin my reputation.

He just...

Correct!

he……

"You can't kill me!"

Ran Xinxue suddenly looked up at Wei Tu.

Wei Tu looked at Ran Xinxue with a smile.

"Killing you would be easy for me. Given my loathing for you, I could kill you without hesitation. Have you ever thought that when you gave me that fake smile, I was also giving you that fake enthusiasm? I know you hate me too, which is why I wanted to touch your hand and even hug you. How about that? Isn't it disgusting? I just wanted to disgust you, Sect Master."

The boy's handsome face now looked so hateful, he was practically a devil!

But Ran Xinxue, slightly out of breath with excitement, spoke.

"But you can't kill me! If you kill me, even if you tell others these things, you won't have any evidence! And the fact is, I'll die here too. This makes no sense, and you can't explain it! You'll have nowhere to stand, and even Lu Qingyan will have a hard time protecting you!"

Wei Tu thought for a moment.

"Yes... killing you would indeed be very troublesome to deal with."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Ran Xinxue's heart, seemingly a wish to survive again.

"So...so we can cooperate. I won't say anything...and you won't say anything either. Let's just pretend this never happened, okay?"

This seems like an unexpectedly better outcome.

But Wei Tu looked at the woman with amusement.

"Sect Master, do you think my hatred for you would allow me to pretend that none of this ever happened? That old bastard is certainly the worst, but how much better are you? You're an accomplice too, Sect Master."

"But...but I just want to live! I just don't want to die, what's wrong with that? Even if it weren't for me, someone else would have done it!"

Ran Xinxue spoke her true feelings, which has always been her strength.

Wei Tu shook his head, looking at Ran Xinxue without a trace of sympathy.

"There was a man named Liang Xingxiu. That's right, he was the young martial uncle who died in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. He gave up his only chance to escape in order to report the situation here to the sect. If he knew that there were two powerful women in the sect he believed in who were plotting to harm their disciple when he used his life to exchange for the chance to preserve the flame, how would he feel?"

Ran Xinxue's face was somewhat pale.

"But... not everyone can go to that extent... I'm not a hero, I've never been a hero, I'm just a woman whose life is constantly threatened! What can I do? I don't want this either. If I can be a good person, I'm willing, but why do I have to choose between being a bad person or dying? Who can escape such a choice!"

Wei Tu applauded the woman's statement.

"That sounds nice, but in the end you didn't hesitate. Once you've made your choice, that's it. You don't care about other people's desire to live a good life, so why are you trying to make me understand your feelings? Just like you don't care about my life or death, why should I care about your life or death or your hardships? All I know is that I almost died, and I'm very angry."

Then Wei Tu came over.

"No...don't come any closer! What are you going to do...what are you going to do...!"

"Snapped!"

Wei Tu raised his hand and slapped the woman to the ground.

The newly fallen snow is a bit hazy.

How dare this young disciple slap himself?

That bastard, that filthy man...

Instead of continuing to slap the other person, Wei Tu squatted down in front of him.

"You...uh...! Let go! You bastard! You dog! Trash! You...! Let go! Don't humiliate me!"

Ran Xinxue did not expect that Wei Tu would reach out, grab her ankle, and then lift one of her legs.

Her fair legs peeked out from under the skirt, revealing large areas of her bare skin.

Then he took off his shoes, his long, hot fingers holding his cold feet... PS: It's too difficult. I have to take my parents out to someone else's birthday dinner this afternoon, so you can really only see this much for today's Pineapple Bun. I can't guarantee there will be an extra chapter tonight, so I won't make any promises. If I have time, I will try my best to deliver the extra chapter!

95. The report and the peach blossoms bloom together (Part 5)

"It's been so long..."

Su Mi, kneeling on the open ground, muttered softly.

It may seem disrespectful, but most people are actually numb to it. After all, in their hearts, the so-called ancestor, even if he is said to have lived for more than 1,500 years, has had very little influence on them.

Perhaps it was mostly subtle and gradual, but few people actually saw the old woman. In most people's minds, the old woman was ultimately just a figure they could hear about but never see.

As for dying... everyone dies eventually, so what's so surprising about that?

The only thing that slightly bothered Su Mi was that a considerable amount of time had passed since she saw the boy go in.

There was some commotion among the crowd on the open ground.

This is because this time is the longest, almost longer than the combined time of the other elders entering the Baoguang Hall.

Kneeling beside her is Bai Youwei.

She did notice this unusual situation, but at the same time she also noticed something else.

That is, the Baoguang Hall uses its gate as a barrier, creating a separate domain that shields all probes from the outside.

So Bai Youwei probably doesn't know what's going on inside right now.
