After using some means, Lily of the Valley came to Bai Ye's side smoothly.
Bai Ye showed no love for her existence, nor did she show boredom. To Bai Ye, Ling Lan seemed no different from those maids in the past, he and her were still separated by a thick barrier, and the two lived in different worlds. But Ling Lan is a little different from other maids, she will silently watch Bai Ye practice martial arts, although most of the time all she can do is just watch from the sidelines.
She watched Bai Ye beat a set of boxing skills to perfection, watched his clothes drenched with sweat, and also watched him slow to make progress in the position of Nine Great Consummations.
One day, Bai Ye finished boxing practice in the yard as usual, took a towel from Lily Lane, and wiped the sweat from his cheeks and forehead. Perhaps because of some new insights today, Bai Ye looked at the maid who was getting familiar with each other a little bit, and said to her:
"Thank you."
Ling Lan froze for a moment, then replied:
"No... Hehe, I'm not used to hearing you speak for the first time."
Bai Ye showed a smile and said:
"You are not from the sea of clouds, are you?"
Lily of the valley asked back:
"You can see that too?"
Bai Ye put the towel back into the tray in Ling Lan's hand, put away her ugly smile, and said to her:
"The people in Yunhai are very afraid of me. Even if they are careful to hide it, I know it in my heart. They won't look at me for more than three seconds, but you are different."
Ling Lan held the tray and chatted with Bai Ye a few more words:
"Do you know my name?"
Bai Ye replied:
"To be honest, I don't know very well. But I remember when you came here. You have been by my side for one hundred and two days. No matter what your purpose of approaching me is, being able to persist for so long shows that you are a very great people."
Suzuran smiled and said:
"My name is Lily of the Valley. In the past one hundred and two days, I have seen you practicing without any slack every day."
Bai Ye exhaled, and said in a flat tone:
"Unfortunately, I didn't let you see any of my growth."
Ling Lan hung her hands in front of her body, and said openly:
"No... that's why I think you're different. Most people in the world hope that what they pursue, whether it's martial arts, art or love, they can often create some surprises for them. Once it becomes ordinary, it will naturally Get bored. But you don't, what I see in you is unchanging tenacity."
Bai Ye moved his shoulders and replied:
"Thanks."
He paused, and added before leaving:
"Although I don't like compliments, I will remember your name."
After that day, the relationship between the two slowly changed.
Bai Ye was practicing boxing in the yard, while Ling Lan sat on the fence and watched quietly. When Bai Ye was about to finish training, Lily of the Valley poured a basin of hot water, put a clean white towel on the side of the basin, and handed it to Bai Ye. The two of them would chat about some unnutritious topics at first, and then Lily of the Valley would "inadvertently" give Bai Ye some inspiration in martial arts—although her cultivation level was not as good as Bai Ye's, the knowledge she got from the gods allowed her to cope with it. Such an occasion.
There are many people in the world who do not have any greed for worldly things such as power, status, money, and fame.
But people are not grass and trees, everyone has feelings, and all have various desires. It's just that many desires are usually hidden deeply and rarely revealed. For Bai Ye, the sea of clouds is an unattractive thing, but his obsession with martial arts has become the breakthrough point for Lily Lan to attack him.
The two gradually developed from casual chatting to sitting and talking, and then practicing together in the yard.
During this process, Bai Ye never realized that he laughed more and more in front of Lily Lane, nor did he realize that he was willing to spend a longer time with her. When he suppressed the realm and "competed" with Lily of the Valley, the offense and defense between the two sides often contained countless games, and this kind of game made Bai Ye feel a kind of happiness that he had never had before.
But during this process, Ling Lan knew that she had been doing mental calculations all along.
The logic of choosing a godman allowed her to calmly analyze the stage of her relationship with Bai Ye every night, and then think about what kind of smile she will show when she sees him tomorrow, and what kind of words she will say to him. Finally, when she realizes that she has gathered many identities such as maid, best friend, teacher, confidant, and rival, Ling Lan understands that no one in this world will be more important to Bai Ye than herself, including that he Always loved sister.
So Lily Lan revealed everything about the god-selection ceremony, but she packaged herself as a pitiful existence: I know this will embarrass you, but if I don't do this, I will die. I don't know what to do... I'm sorry.
Article 2 of the God-Choosing Rules: The God-Chooser cannot voluntarily reveal his true identity in any way.
The third rule of the god-selection rule: the god-selector must do his best to guide the assisted object on the road to becoming a god, and even ignore the second rule when necessary.
At this time, there were only two roads ahead of Bai Ye.
One way is to return to the battle between the sons, the sister he cares about will be sad, but she won't die.
The other way is to give up the dispute between the sons as promised. Everyone in Yunhai is happy, but the person he loves will die because of it.
Bai Ye chose the former.
At that time, Ling Lan felt very happy. Although she did those things involuntarily under the influence of the prohibition, she felt that everything was worth it when she thought that she and Bai Ye could live happily together. This feeling is amazing, as if someone has done something for you in a despicable way, and you can enjoy the final result without paying anything, and you don't have to bear too much psychological burden.
However, every time she saw Bai Ye showing a sad expression because of the dispute between the sons, Ling Lan felt that her heart would also feel a faint throbbing pain. She knew very well that Bai Ye chose to compete with Bai Feng again for power and profit because of herself, and she even had to speak coldly to Bai Huang. However, the pre-set logic in Ling Lan's body ordered her to ignore everything in front of her eyes, and use Bai Ye's inner emptiness to get another favor, which made Ling Lan instinctively resist.
Only then did she realize that during those times when she was counting Bai Ye with her fingers, she herself was getting deeper and deeper in that relationship. But when you really like someone, what you think about every day is not how to get from him, but what you can give him.
What can Lily of the Valley give Bai Ye
Probably only a word of apology, and her life.
"Don't blame Bai Ye..."
Ling Lan knelt on the ground, and said with slack eyes:
"He was very wary of me. At the beginning, he was worried that I was a spy from another territory, and he was also worried that I was the dark pawn of some son in Yunhai. He would believe me because ninety percent of my words out of a hundred The nine sentences are all true, whether it is the matter of choosing a godman, or the matter of my death if he loses, I have never lied to him about it... But ah, there is also a sentence in it that is false."
Ling Lan raised her head, her face was already bloody, and even her neck was covered in bloodstains from scratches by herself.
With the last of her strength, she said to Lid:
"On that day, he asked me expressionlessly if I wanted him to participate in the struggle between the sons of the world and embark on the path of becoming a god. I said, of course I hope he can become a god, so that I can live with him until the end of the years .”
"But now, I just hope that he can live well and don't make those who really care about him feel bad... I'm just a woman with ulterior motives and an empty heart who used despicable methods to reach him and stole him step by step For someone like me, it’s not worth it... Please tell him for me, in fact, what I like the most is the time when I watched him practice martial arts. Because once in contact with him, I don’t know what is What God asked me to do, which ones came from my own will... "
