Zhuo Qingfeng came to Woxue Peak to visit Jiang Yuebai. When she opened the door and saw a man dressed in black and standing out from the crowd, she suddenly remembered that before she left the Earth Spirit Realm, she had met him at the gate of her courtyard in the same way.
After not seeing each other for many years, Zhuo Qingfeng seemed not to have changed at all. His eyes were still clear and bright without any impurities. The way he looked at her was also open and smiling.
"I originally wanted to visit you at Tianyan Sect, but I didn't expect you to come to Guiyuan Sword Sect."
It was like meeting old friends, there were no unfamiliar greetings, just a casual greeting.
Jiang Yuebai saw that Zhuo Qingfeng was covered with snow, so she opened the door and invited him in.
"Come in and talk."
Zhuo Qingfeng entered the room and nodded when he saw Yun Shang.
Yun Shang lowered her head and frowned, and whispered, "You guys chat, I'll go inside."
After saying this, he took the glass bottle containing the black-armored bee, hugged Jixiang and ran away.
Zhuo Qingfeng smiled and said, "She seems to be still the same, but you have changed a lot. I have tried my best, but I still can't catch up with you."
"Why do you want to catch up with me? Isn't cultivation for yourself?" Jiang Yuebai asked Zhuo Qingfeng to sit down and poured him tea.
Zhuo Qingfeng nodded, it was just a casual remark, but when he saw Jiang Yuebai in person, he found that she was still so unattainable, and Zhuo Qingfeng felt a little disappointed.
Jiang Yuebai put the tea in front of Zhuo Qingfeng and said, "I won't waste any more time. I wonder if your sect leader has told you that I want to go to Lingfeng Valley."
Zhuo Qingfeng nodded, "I have already met the sect master, and he has told me everything about the Fuyao Fairy Meeting and Lingfeng Valley. I know you have your own reasons, but I still want to ask, why do you suddenly want to go to Lingfeng Valley to find the practice notes of the Wind-Chasing Sword Master?"
Jiang Yuebai raised his eyes and stared at Zhuo Qingfeng without blinking, until his cheeks became hot and he clenched his fists in discomfort, but his face remained stiff and expressionless.
"Can I... trust you?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Zhuo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Okay."
Jiang Yuebai has been thinking about the cause and effect of the whole incident in the past few days and has made countless bold speculations.
If the whole thing was a setup, then besides her, Zhuo Qingfeng and Xie Jingshan might also be pawns.
It is most obvious in the case of Xie Jingshan. Someone changed his destiny and even used the method of entering his dreams to influence Xie Jingshan and make him like her.
Yes, she actually always knew that Xie Jingshan liked her.
But when they met again in Jiuhe Realm last time, she felt that Xie Jingshan had changed towards her. It was because of this change that he felt awkward and didn't know how to treat her.
Fortunately, Xie Jingshan figured it out himself and became the carefree Xie Jingshan again. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
There has always been a blind old man on Xie Jingshan's side. That man has always wanted Xie Jingshan to stop loving her and even kill her.
But that blind old man could even break into the Mermaid Country at will, so why didn’t he just kill her
Jiang Yuebai thought about this problem, and the only explanation was that the blind old man couldn't afford to offend the people "behind" her.
The person 'behind' her could only be Lu Xingyun.
Jiang Yuebai thought about Xie Jingshan's change. It should have happened after she died and entered Nirvana when she formed her infant in the Qinglong Realm, because she had an indescribable feeling at that time.
It was like the feeling of a kite's string being cut and suddenly loosened, and she was the kite.
This is the strange thing about Xie Jingshan, and then there is Zhuo Qingfeng's side.
Everything seemed normal. He had the same fate as Wind-Chasing Sword Lord, and he fell in love with her during their normal interactions. The whole process seemed to be without any doubt.
But if she was just an ordinary person and had no connection with Lu Xingyun, then this would be a very ordinary thing.
But there is an elusive relationship between her and Lu Xingyun.
In the long river of time, it was because she stepped into the past first and attracted Lu Xingyun, which allowed her childhood self to be saved.
I'm afraid no one can explain this matter except the way of heaven.
But one thing is that Lu Xingyun did save her, and thus changed her fate, making her fate intertwined with Lu Xingyun's.
How much of an impact will this entanglement of fate have on her and Lu Xingyun? Her current cultivation level is low and her comprehension of the Way of Heaven is not enough, so she cannot find a definite answer.
Perhaps, once she gets to know Immortal Lord Chongming better, she can ask him indirectly.
After comprehensively considering the above doubts, Jiang Yuebai made a bold guess.
This speculation gradually emerged after she obtained the evil martial art "The Seven Emotions Method".
That technique was practiced by the fake Chen Zhou who pretended to be Xiong Yanhong and was under Xiong Yanhong's command. This person would plant the "seed of love" in other cultivators, making them fall hopelessly in love with him, and use love to stimulate the seed of love. When the seed of love blossomed and bore fruit, he would reap all the cultivation of the other person.
If the same situation were applied to Wind-Chasing Sword Master, would he want to use similar means to influence Lu Xingyun and make Lu Xingyun fall in love with him
In other words, there was no love between him and Lu Xingyun at all. It was just like powerful monks who needed to seize each other's path in order to get closer to the Way of Heaven.
Zhu Feng wanted to plunder everything from Lu Xingyun, but he couldn't control Lu Xingyun, so he set his eyes on her, whose fate was intertwined with Lu Xingyun, and used a love-struck method to reap everything from her.
Therefore, Zhu Feng sent Xie Jingshan and Zhuo Qingfeng to her. As long as she was attracted to them, it might affect Lu Xingyun
Of course, all of the above is just her speculation and there is no evidence.
Jiang Yuebai set up a soundproof barrier and used a large space formation to block it before transmitting the message to Zhuo Qingfeng.
"I heard that you are the only one who has entered the depths of Lingfeng Valley and obtained the inheritance of Wind Chasing Sword Lord. I want to know, did you fall in love with me before or after you obtained the inheritance?"
Jiang Yuebai said the word "heart-delighted" so bluntly that Zhuo Qingfeng's cheeks felt a little hot, but Jiang Yuebai's eyes were extremely serious, and Zhuo Qingfeng did not dare to have any romantic thoughts and thought about it carefully.
"It should be... later."
really!
Jiang Yuebai asked again, "Have you read the practice notes of Wind Chaser Sword Master?"
Zhuo Qingfeng's expression was stern, and there was something unusual about it.
"I've seen part of it."
"If I'm not mistaken, that part is about something between him and Lu Xingyun, right?"
The frown on Zhuo Qingfeng's brows deepened and he nodded.
"Can you tell me about it?"
Zhuo Qingfeng thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know how to put it. The Sword Master's practice notes are not jade slips or something like that, but part of his memory left in a broken sword. That sword was also cut off by your sect's founder Lu Xingyun."
"You ask me these questions, are you trying to say that I... I like you not because I like you, but because I am influenced by the Sword Master?"
Jiang Yuebai didn't say anything. She had never fallen in love with anyone. Even though she had experienced Ye Shiming's life and seen his love with Wuweishanren, she still didn't understand how the feeling of falling in love with someone came about.
So she couldn't directly deny Zhuo Qingfeng. He could only figure it out on his own, just like Xie Jingshan.
Zhuo Qingfeng is also an extremely intelligent person. From Jiang Yuebai's performance and some clues, he has realized something, and the firmness in his eyes has wavered a little.
"Go to Lingfeng Valley and find out what's going on!"
It’s the beginning of the month, continue to ask for monthly tickets!
The second update will be a little later, around 5 or 6 pm. It's the weekend, so there will only be two updates. I'll take a break for two days and continue on Monday.
