Nangong Ruyun was embroidering a sachet in the yard, preparing to give it to her lover after it was finished.

But just when she was filled with joy, a familiar voice sounded from her sea of ​​consciousness.

It was her good friend Lan Ruoyu.

"Come out and talk." The words were simple, but full of power.

She was in the fusion stage and was so great that she didn't even take her, her elder sister, seriously.

Just go out when you tell me to?

She must have become stupid from practicing the Ruthless Sword. Not only has her emotions become increasingly cold, but she also doesn't understand the ways of the world?

It's so rude of you to not even mention the name when speaking.

Nangong Ruyun released her spiritual sense, but she could not find any trace of Lan Ruoyu within the range of her spiritual sense.

There are only two possibilities. One is that Lan Ruoyu hid her tracks so that she could not sense her.

Another possibility is that she is beyond the range of Nangong Ruyun's spiritual perception.

These are all things that can be done during the fusion period.

When a cultivator reaches the fusion stage, his Nascent Soul and his spirit soul are completely integrated and become one, and his spiritual awareness abilities will be enhanced beyond words.

Seeing that Nangong Ruyun hadn't made any movement or response for a long time, Lan Ruoyu sent her a voice transmission again: "Ruyun, I have something to talk to you about."

Her words were simple. Ever since she started practicing Taihao Ruthless Sword, she liked to speak with just a few words, and tried to omit anything that could be omitted.

But Nangong Ruyun doesn't like Lan Ruoyu like this.

Although Fairy Lan used to be aloof, she could still talk a lot to her two best friends.

Now, he was like a lump of ice without any temperature, which disgusted her.

"What's the matter? You can tell me directly, I can hear you." Nangong Ruyun seemed to respond reluctantly.

She still did not move, and seemed to have no intention of leaving the City Lord's Mansion.

I can't give in to this old friend's wishes, otherwise she will think that she can be ordered around at will.

Lan Ruoyu didn't want to talk to Nangong Ruyun in the City Lord's Mansion. She was afraid of running into Zhao Kangping again. She really didn't know how to face him.

But Nangong Ruyun seemed to be at odds with her, and she didn't understand why her best friend had such an attitude.

It was true that she hadn't contacted her best friend for a long time, but after hundreds of years of friendship, their relationship shouldn't be too bad.

But she was wrong about one thing. She really did not do anything wrong to Nangong Ruyun.

But she let Zhao Kangping down and even abandoned him.

Now that my aunt has already colluded with my nephew and even given her heart to him, how could she still get too close to Lan Ruoyu?

"I have some things that are not convenient to say there. Can you come out for a while? It's in the woods east of the city." This time, Lan Ruoyu used a pleading tone.

Since her attitude softened, Fairy Nangong decided to give her some face for the time being and see what she wanted to say.

When she met Lan Ruoyu again, Nangong Ruyun noticed that her aura seemed to have weakened. If Lan Ruoyu hadn't been deliberately hiding her aura, then something must have happened to her.

"What do you want from me?" Aunt Nangong's tone was hard, and she seemed reluctant to come over.

Lan Ruoyu was also in a hurry, so she didn't beat around the bush and directly asked her for the Linglong Wenxin Lotus.

However, after hearing this, Nangong Ruyun shook her head and said, "Ruoyu, I'm not the sect leader anymore. I can't decide to hand this item over to you."

"Sister Yun, are you unwilling to give it to me?" She used this address for the first time in a long time.

But it was too late. If she had called her like this when she came to see him, Nangong Ruyun would still help her out of their past friendship.

Although Nangong Ruyun has retired from the position of leader of Xianyun Sect.

But in fact, the current leader of Xianyun Sect also has to listen to her.

There is a gap in the high-end combat power of Xianyun Sect. Only Nangong Ruyun is in the Nascent Soul stage, and the rest are at most at the Spirit Transformation stage, and those are the kind of Spirit Transformation that is unlikely to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the next one or two hundred years.

If she cuts off ties with Xianyun Sect, the overall strength of Xianyun Sect will probably decline significantly.

Xianyun Sect can do without its current leader Qi Honglian, but it cannot do without Nangong Ruyun, even if she claims that she wants to retire.

"What will you do if I say I don't want to give it to you?" Nangong Ruyun said directly.

Even if it would offend her best friend, she would not take back what she said.

Even best friends can’t do it.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Chapter 378: Lan Ruoyu's Defense Breaks

"You really don't want to give it?" Lan Ruoyu confirmed again.

Whether or not one can obtain that exquisite heart-searching lotus depends entirely on a word from Nangong Ruyun.

Even though Fairy Nangong has abdicated, the Xianyun Sect still follows her lead.

Her status is similar to that of the emperor in some dynasties, but there are also great differences.

The same thing is that she is not in the right position and has no real power, but her words still carry a lot of weight.

The difference is that in those dynasties, the emperor emeritus was often just a symbolic figure. If he was too involved, he might cause dissatisfaction from the current emperor.

However, Qi Honglian wished she wasn't the sect leader. She felt like she was pushed out by her senior sister to take the blame, so that her senior sister could have sex with younger women. But she didn't dare say this to her senior sister's face.

"Look at what you said, this thing originally belonged to the Xianyun Sect."

"Since it is the sect's property, how can I just give it to outsiders?"

"If I really did that, what would the elders and disciples in the sect think?"

Nangong Ruyun stopped talking here. She didn't need to explain too much, Lan Ruoyu would understand.

The natural treasures in Xianyun Sect should be distributed to those who have made contributions and are in need within the sect.

Lan Ruoyu wasn't a member of the Xianyun Sect, so why should she be given the item? What contribution had she made to the Xianyun Sect? Did she actually save the Xianyun Sect?

At this moment, one of them is talking about human relationships, while the other is talking about rules, making it difficult for them to reach a consensus.

The irony is that a person who values ​​humanity is practicing the ruthless sword.

"I can exchange it for other natural treasures of equal value. I also have quite a few other medicinal herbs that are extremely valuable to female cultivators."

Lan Ruoyu took a step back. If she couldn't ask for it, then they could trade it. She definitely wouldn't let her good sister suffer a loss. She said it was equal value, but in reality, many of the precious medicines she had were not worth as much as the Linglong Heart Lotus.

However, she did not feel that she was at a disadvantage in such a transaction, because she was in need of Linglong Wenxin Lotus right now.

If it were in the past, when the sisters asked her for it, Nangong Ruyun would probably give it to them without even frowning.

But now, she has changed her mind.

Perhaps he wanted to vent Ping'er's anger, teach this woman a lesson, and let her understand what she had missed.

"Really?" Nangong Ruyun said in a nonchalant tone. She glanced at her best friend and felt unhappy when she saw that she was still calm.

No, she has to break down.

Natural treasures are certainly important to cultivators, but no matter how important they are, they are not as important as him.

She had used every rare treasure in the Xianyun Sect, but none of them could cure her cold poison.

The materials Lan Ruoyu took out for trading must be materials for female cultivators to practice.

Maybe it is more valuable than the Linglong Wenxin Lotus, but so what? It’s not like she hasn’t seen rarer ones.

"Sister Yun, you don't seem to be very interested." Lan Ruoyu's voice was soft, without any momentum.

"Well, I'm really not interested in your proposal." What she meant was that she didn't want to make a deal. She had never made things difficult for her best friend before, but this was the first time.

But compared to the grievances Ping'er had suffered from her before, what was that?

At that time, she was a little envious of the two of them for being able to be together regardless of worldly opinions, and she also silently blessed them.

But they still broke up. It was Lan Ruoyu's fault. She left him alone and ran away without even an explanation.

He searched for her in a daze for a hundred years, but in the end it was all a scam, and he was beaten and lost his cultivation.

But fortunately, there is always a way out, and he was able to rebuild and recover.

If you don't cherish it, someone will.

Fairy Nangong felt sorry for him. If it were her, she would probably be sad for a while, a few years at most, and would never waste a hundred years like the fool.

"Ruoyu, do you really have to practice this ruthless sword?" Nangong Ruyun didn't want her best friend to become cold and indifferent in the end.

She knew that this kind of practice would eventually lead to the abandonment of emotions, turning them into a block of ice, unbound by any emotion. They wouldn't get angry, feel fear, cry or laugh, and would be indifferent to everything.

Lan Ruoyu had asked herself this question many times.

She practiced the way of the sword, and happened to obtain a heavenly-level technique that matched her way of the sword. This set of sword techniques could allow her to practice until she overcame the tribulation.

I'm afraid there is no sword technique in the world that is more powerful than this and suitable for her. So if she wants to become stronger, she has no choice.

In ancient times, the ruthless way of cultivating immortals was widely prevalent. At that time, cultivating immortality almost required abandoning emotions, as only in this way could one reach the great way.

However, with the development of the times, the ruthless path is not the only choice. Various different paths have emerged one after another like a hundred flowers in bloom.

Nowadays, all kinds of strange and bizarre methods of cultivation are emerging one after another.

It cannot be said that the Way of Mercilessness has been swept into the dustbin of history, it can only be said that it has become unpopular.

Seeing Lan Ruoyu fall silent, Nangong Ruyun said again: "There are thousands of ways in the world, why do you choose this path? Alas~"

The original version of the ice-based martial arts she practiced would strip the practitioner of all emotions and make him become cold and frosty.

But Nangong Ruyun couldn't let go of many emotions, including the family affection with her teachers and sisters, the friendship with her bestie, and the reluctance to part with her nephew.

So she chose to deduce a new technique based on the original technique.

It is called a new technique, but in fact, only a few changes have been made, and then there is no possibility of turning into an ice block.

However, the new technique has a hidden danger, which is that when it is performed, it will breed cold poison in the body.

As time went by, she was forced to freeze herself.

But now this hidden danger has been eliminated. After practicing dual cultivation with Zhao Kangping, his pure Yang spiritual energy has made up for the shortcomings of her cultivation method. No new cold poison will grow in her body in the future.

Lan Ruoyu remained silent. After all, she was the one asking for help, so she didn't dare to speak loudly.

So she was willing to listen to her best friend's chatter.

"Have you noticed anything different about me?" Nangong Ruyun's face was rosy and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

In fact, Lan Ruoyu had already noticed her changes.

Not long ago, Nangong Ruyun was still sick, looking like she was about to die and had not much time left.

From time to time, cold air would leak out of her body, and wherever she stepped on, there would be footprints with ice chips left behind.

When coughing up blood, the blood foam that comes out contains ice chips.

But now, none of these situations exist anymore.

The originally sickly pale face also regained color, and the complexion was unusually good. The person also looked much younger, and the temperament was more bright and attractive.

If she were a man, she would probably be completely fascinated by him.

"Have you practiced dual cultivation with him?!" The answer was very easy to guess. Lan Ruoyu remembered that she said Zhao Kangping had a Pure Yang Holy Body.

"Yes, three times. The longest time we lasted from the evening until noon the next day." She held her lower abdomen: "I have never felt so warm."

“He’s so gentle, yet so wild.”

"I can't believe that he looks so honest, but deep down he is..." When she said this, she seemed to be showing off a little.

She deliberately glanced at Lan Ruoyu, whose expression was visibly ugly.

Nangong Ruyun knew that Lan Ruoyu still loved him.

I stay away from him because I don't want to implicate him.

But it was also a fact that he was hurt, and even her best friend couldn't stand such an act of abandonment.

So she wanted to make her best friend feel upset, preferably in a way that would break her defenses.

"Where were we just now? Uh, anyway, it's hard to describe it in words."

Then she took out a new type of communication jade slip. The biggest advantage of this thing is that it can save video for a long time.
