Chapter 324
Chapter 324: He, Like Yu Zhao, Was Born a Bad Seed
Sect Master Ji Yuan was surprised: “Jin Yue, what do you mean…”
Zhou Jin Yue shook her head: “I do not know.”
She still had not seen Ye Cong Xin’s corpse, and she could not shake a sense of unease.
Sect Master Ji Yuan’s expression grew heavy.
“If Ye Cong Xin could hide everything right under our eyes, she might have other life-saving tricks. We cannot let our guard down.” He paused for a moment, then said: “I will discuss it with several elders and then inform the other sects. If she wants to stir up storms in the Cultivation World, she will have to see whether we agree.”
Zhou Jin Yue knew this was the best plan for now, so she pressed down her doubts for the time being and asked about Sect Master Wu Sang’s alchemy.
At this, the corners of Sect Master Ji Yuan’s mouth could not help curling up.
“Soon, very soon. At most another half a year and it will be finished.”
While Sect Master Wu Sang was refining pills, he was not idle either. He would run over now and then to take a look, and even found several flimsy excuses to stuff disciples in there to learn.
Sect Master Wu Sang and Wanderer Bao Hua both turned a blind eye to it.
Sometimes, when Wanderer Bao Hua was in a good mood, she would even take the time to give a few pointers…
Zhou Jin Yue was listening when Sect Master Ji Yuan suddenly slapped his thigh.
She asked in confusion: “Master?”
He looked at Zhou Jin Yue with a helpless, bitter smile: “I was thinking I had forgotten something. That young fellow in Wanderer Bao Hua’s courtyard is gone. I personally guaranteed I would keep an eye on him.”
“Wang Sheng?”
“That is him.”
“He disappeared?”
“Quan Ye and Ye Cong Xin fought and brought the house down. When the disciples went to clean up, he was already gone. We searched the entire sect and still did not find a trace of him.”
Zhou Jin Yue’s brows furrowed.
The Five Elements Dao Sect’s Sect-Guarding Grand Array was not just for show.
If Wang Sheng could leave the Five Elements Dao Sect without disturbing anyone, his background was definitely not simple.
She had heard that Ye Cong Xin had been hovering around him during this time. Could there be some unknown connection between them?
The more Zhou Jin Yue thought about it, the more her head ached.
Right now, however, the Individual Competition taking place at the Five Elements Dao Sect was giving Zhou Jin Yue an even bigger headache.
Lan Zi Yu roared: “What did you say? Junior Sister is dead? Impossible, how could Junior Sister die? Cui Jue! You are too vicious, you are actually cursing Junior Sister! I really misjudged you!”
Cui Jue looked coldly at Lan Zi Yu, who was screaming and red-eyed like a madman, his expression indifferent: “I have already delivered the message. Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me.”
After speaking, he turned to leave.
Lan Zi Yu would not let him leave so easily. He flew forward and grabbed his arm: “You are not allowed to leave. Make yourself clear! Why are you cursing Junior Sister? Has she not been good to you?!”
“Good?” Cui Jue gave a cold laugh: “Then tell me, what has she ever done for me?”
He had been an alchemist, spending years in closed-door cultivation refining pills.
It was Yu Zhao who handled his herb garden for him and tended the delicate flowers and plants.
What had Ye Cong Xin ever done?
Nothing but a few gentle, soft words after he left seclusion.
But what he had given Ye Cong Xin was high grade pills tailored just for her.
The only one he had ever wronged was Little Zhao.
“She…” Lan Zi Yu choked for a moment, then grew even angrier: “You do not even know what she has done for you! How can I have such an ungrateful Junior Brother like you!”
“I also do not know why I have such a muddleheaded Senior Brother whose brain is not clear.”
Cui Jue shook off Lan Zi Yu’s hand. The hatred he had suppressed for so long burst out.
“Let me ask you, what did you see in your dream?”
Lan Zi Yu’s mind was completely filled with rage. He did not even think about how Cui Jue knew he had been dreaming. He opened his mouth and snapped back: “What does it matter to you what I dreamed!”
“Hmph, Lan Zi Yu, why do you think Quan Ye and Su Ming went to kill Ye Cong Xin? It is because they had the same dream as you. Do you understand now? Do you get it!”
After waking from the dream, Cui Jue had sat in his room in a daze and knew nothing of Su Ming and Quan Ye’s actions. Otherwise he would also be locked up right now.
It was only when the elders escorted Quan Ye and Su Ming back to Lone Moon Peak that Cui Jue learned what had happened, and he immediately realized he was not the only one who had dreamed.
Of course, he had not planned to find Lan Zi Yu to verify his thoughts. He had only come to inform Lan Zi Yu because the elder ordered him to.
But Lan Zi Yu’s stupidity and arrogance had pushed his patience past its limits.
He no longer wanted to endure it.
He had had enough.
Lan Zi Yu was stunned by his words.
[Everyone had the same dream? They believed it? How could they believe it! Fake! It was all fake! It was only a dream!]
He habitually tugged at the corner of his mouth, trying to say something mocking, but when he opened his mouth, no sound came out.
“Lan Zi Yu, if you had not been egged on by Ye Cong Xin back then, constantly slandering Little Zhao, how would I have grown distant from her!”
“Ye Cong Xin is bad, and you are just stupid! So stupid you are beyond saving, willing to be driven by her!”
“From now on, do not call yourself my Senior Brother in front of me. It disgusts me to hear it!”
Cui Jue shot him a glare and strode away.
This time, Lan Zi Yu did not chase after him.
He was still digesting the news Cui Jue had brought.
From sunrise to sunset.
He seemed unable to feel the passage of time.
He was like a clay statue without a soul, numb and empty.
“Qing Yan, I am leaving.”
Upon hearing the voice in his Sea of Consciousness, Master Qing Yan did not feel relieved. Instead, he became even more alert: “What are you plotting now?”
He had spent a great deal of effort trying to drive this soul from another world out of his Sea of Consciousness, but all had ended in failure, and the other had never shown any intention of leaving. Now, after a period of silence, the other suddenly said he wanted to leave. It was hard not to be suspicious.
“It is time, fate, and fortune, none of which I can control.” The soul gave a bitter smile and sighed.
He had accidentally returned to his past life and originally wanted to use the chance to change his fate. Unexpectedly, by meddling in karma, he had taken Master Qing Yan’s place in entering the dream and gone through the events of his previous life once again.
Only then did he truly understand.
He should not exist in this world at all. If he stayed, not only could he not change fate, he might even lead Master Qing Yan astray.
He decided to let go.
“Qing Yan.” He called again.
Master Qing Yan did not answer.
He did not mind and continued speaking to himself: “After I leave, you should be able to pick up fragments of my memories. Whether you can see what you want will all depend on luck.
“Even though you will not believe it, I still want to say one last thing. You owe Yu Zhao a great deal. If you ever have the chance, you should repay it with your life.”
He let out a cold snort. [Lying again.]
[He and Yu Zhao are the same, born bad seeds.]
The soul seemed to sense Master Qing Yan’s thoughts and gave a desolate smile.
Then, he resolutely destroyed himself.
His illusory spirit body turned into countless points of light and merged into the Sea of Consciousness.
Master Qing Yan suddenly felt a cool aura soothing the unrest deep in his body.
He was stunned.
That soul had actually used his own soul body to mend his damaged Sea of Consciousness.
This also meant that his soul had completely faded away, with no further Cycle of Reincarnation.
This time, he had not lied.
Why…
Endless sorrow suddenly surged up in Master Qing Yan’s heart.
He was lost.
