Chapter 314: Master of Tianji Pavilion (63)
However, although the demon world stopped hunting Xu Lan, the elders of the Bishui Sect did not stop hunting down the defector.
Xu Lan, who was originally leading He Nianguan to escape from the pursuit, paused, as if he felt something, and his face turned pale in an instant.
She hurriedly took out a bell from her arms. The bell had been covered with fine cracks at some point in time. When she touched it, it instantly broke into countless pieces.
Xu Lan's tears instantly fell from her eyes. She wanted to put the broken pieces back together, but she couldn't fix them.
Xu Lan closed her eyes and her tears flowed even harder.
Asu...
The young He Nianguan was a little at a loss. He wanted to wipe Xu Lan's tears, but even if he stood on tiptoe, he was not that tall and could only reach Xu Lan's waist.
He Nianguan was spinning around anxiously, his chubby face full of worry. He looked up and asked Xu Lan, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
After hearing He Nianguan's question, Xu Lan just came out of that state. She wiped away her tears with her sleeves carelessly, without any trace of the noble and cold elegance of the Holy Maiden of the Bishui Sect.
"Mom is fine, Nian Guan, let's go."
Although He Nianguan was worried, he still obediently followed Xu Lan.
But they didn't go far before they were stopped by someone.
Xu Lan recognized the leader, who was the law enforcement elder of the Bishui Sect. She hid He Nianguan behind her, blocking all of He Nianguan's perception.
After doing all this, Xu Lan looked towards the law enforcement elder and forced himself to remain calm.
"Elder Liu, long time no see..."
Before he could finish his words of delay, the law enforcement elder interrupted him with a cold expression, "The sect master was merciful and spared your life, but you dared to steal the Worry-Free Water with outsiders. Are you worthy of the sect master's teachings over the years?"
A trace of self-blame flashed in Xu Lan's eyes. The leader of the Bishui Sect had indeed treated her well.
If the Worry-Free Water was for her use alone, she would never agree to let He Xu take it, but this thing was also needed by Nian Guan, who had not yet hatched at that time, so Xu Lan could not say anything to stop He Xu.
This is why He Xu was given the badge, allowing him to go to the Bishui Sect.
Xu Lan had anticipated the scene before her, but when it really came to this, she still couldn't hide the pain in her heart.
Seeing that Xu Lan had not spoken for a long time, the law enforcement elder stopped waiting and raised his hand to let his disciples catch Xu Lan.
Xu Lan knew that she could not escape unscathed this time, but she could not let He Nianguan fall into the hands of the Bishui Sect. The reason was simple: the Bishui Sect had a magical power that could retrieve the Worry-Free Water used on cultivators. However, this technique was too evil and no one in the outside world knew about it.
Xu Lan also accidentally heard her master mention it when she was still the Holy Maiden of the Bishui Sect.
Now, if they knew that the Worry-Free Water was used on Nian Guan, and then used a secret method to retrieve the Worry-Free Water, then Nian Guan...
Xu Lan looked back at He Nianguan, whose face was full of anxiety. She pursed her lips, and when she looked at the people from the Bishui Sect again, her eyes changed.
Nian Guan is the only blood of Asu left in this world, and she will not let anything happen to Nian Guan.
An ancient zither appeared in front of Xu Lan. She lowered her eyes and her white fingers fell on the strings. The melodious sounds of the zither turned into sonic attacks and went towards the disciples of the Bishui Sect who had gathered around her.
In secret, Xu Lan quietly used sound waves to set up a teleportation formation, hoping to send He Nianguan away.
When the formation was almost successful, the law enforcement elder in the sky finally moved.
Just a palm wind was enough to break Xu Lan's sonic attack.
Xu Lan covered her chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. She raised her eyes and saw the law enforcement elder walking towards her.
Xu Lan had no time to care about anything else. The guqin had been taken back into her body. She sacrificed her own life to complete the last missing piece of the formation.
Looking at He Nianguan's young face, Xu Lan forced a gentle smile.
Many words came to her lips, but in the end, she only said one sentence to He Nianguan: "Don't be resentful, don't seek revenge."
They are the ones who make one mistake after another.
He didn't want He Nianguan to be blinded by hatred and make another mistake in the future.
If possible, all grudges will end here...
After hearing all the truth, He Nianguan's expression went blank for a moment. He couldn't believe that the truth he had been pursuing was like this.
No wonder Master said that it was hard to tell right from wrong...
Indeed, for He Nianguan, the Bishui Sect and the demon world are his enemies.
However, for the Bishui Sect and the demon world, they have already shown mercy to him everywhere, but his parents have repeatedly challenged their bottom line, which finally led to the current situation.
He Nianguan's lips turned pale and his expression was a little dazed.
He subconsciously turned his gaze to Yan Qing, the person he trusted the most, with confusion in his eyes. He didn't know what to do.
Yan Qing sighed and asked gently, "Nian Guan, what did I say before I agreed to let you leave Tianji Pavilion to explore the truth?"
He Nianguan was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered what Yan Qing had said to him at that time.
"...If this situation is not resolved, it will be useless to practice with you..."
At the same time, that gentle voice sounded: "The dead are gone, the past is over. I hope you can stick to your heart and look forward."
He Nianguan suddenly remembered that he once said that he would live up to his master's expectations, so what was the point of him giving up on himself now?
He Nianguan's eyes gradually became firm, and the aura on his body changed invisibly. Spiritual energy gathered around him crazily, and everyone present was surprised.
Song Beiwu raised his eyebrows. He had thought that this little guy would lose his faith in Taoism, but he didn't expect that he would have an epiphany.
Should we say, he is worthy of being the disciple of Lord Ling Wei.
Meanwhile, Yan Qing re-sealed the Heavenly Stone the moment the aura on He Nianguan's body changed, to prevent the intelligence born from the Heavenly Stone from doing anything at this time.
There was already abundant spiritual energy in the Astrology Pavilion, and with Yan Qing and others protecting He Nianguan, He Nianguan quickly reached a new realm and woke up.
He Nianguan opened his eyes, and some color returned to his eyes. From Yan Qing's point of view, he was not as emo as before, so Yan Qing felt relieved.
It seems that He Nianguan has recovered from the shock of the truth.
These are all things he must let go of in order to achieve breakthroughs in his future cultivation. If he continues to be trapped by this matter, there will be no possibility of improving his realm.
Fortunately, the result was good.
He Nianguan stood up and first thanked Song Beiwu and the others who had protected him. Then he looked at Yan Qing with an extremely serious expression.
"My mother blocked my perception back then because she didn't want me to know about the past and didn't want me to get involved. Now that I insist on doing it myself, Master has to worry a lot."
Yan Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you can think it through."
