"That's what I thought before." Zhu Yao frowned. "Because from how I see it, Xue Yi did not do anything heinous. Although he was being chased by people who said that he was an evil immortal, I didn't really see him with my own eyes, so it was normal that I didn't resonate with him. On the contrary, as a weapon, Xue Yi can be said to have taken good care of me. Although his mouth is a bit annoying, at least he didn't use me as an enemy. "
"Then why did you …" Yu Jin grew even more confused. "Now that he has left Lightning Divine Hall, even if I don't find trouble with him, the various sects and clans would most likely not let him off easily. I believe his days aren't going to be easy either. You acting like this …"
"Then according to what you said, I should make him stay and protect him in the name of Lightning Divine Hall. Then, chase away all of those people who came looking for trouble with him, or kill them? "Zhu Yao asked.
Yu Jin frowned and did not reply.
"I know what you mean. I did want to help him in the beginning. Although we've only known each other for about ten days, we can still be considered acquaintances. If he did not save her, it would indeed seem somewhat heartless. That's why I didn't stop you when you brought him back. " Zhu Yao sighed. "There was even an instant where I wanted to keep him in Lightning Divine Hall, so that no one would be able to find him. However … Even if I did that, Xue Yi would still be Xue Yi. He wouldn't change just because of that. The people who died in his hands would not live, and the sins he had committed could not be washed away. In fact, it might even get worse in the future. He would take more lives, and he would become even worse. Then, if I did protect him, I would be the executioner who handed him the knife. For every debt of blood he has, I will pay half of it. "
"Xue Yi indeed didn't do anything wrong to me, but he's certainly not a good person either." Zhu Yao said with a sunken voice. "At least in the eyes of the various sects, and in the eyes of those who are pursuing after his life. It was possible that he was an evil immortal whose hands were stained with blood. This won't change just because he's nice to me. A mistake was a mistake. This would not change just because the motive was correct. Just like how a murderer would not be innocent just because he had saved someone, a rapist would not be forgiven just because the other party was his true love. Take that Golden Immortal as an example. He and his wife were innocent. However, Xue Yi killed his wife over a cave dwelling. Even if this matter is unrelated to me, I cannot approve of his actions. Although the Immortal World values strength above all else, I feel that the Immortal World doesn't value strength at all. No one's life was more important than another's. Since he did it, he has to bear the consequences. "
Yu Jin let out a long sigh, "You intend to hand him over to the immortal sects?"
"I won't!" Zhu Yao shook her head. "I'm not a judge. I don't have the authority to judge whether a person is right or wrong. It's not just me. It was the same for the Immortal Sects. It was true that Xue Yi had done many bad things, but among these Deities who ascended, which of them could say that they had not done anything wrong at all? And which of them did not have their hands stained with blood? If they themselves were good at it, who could judge the rights and wrongs of others? Even the reason he came to chase after Xue Yi this time is most likely not for the sake of justice in this world. "
"Then you …" Yu Jin was confused.
"Let's just leave the matter between them to their own quarrel. Since both sides aren't good people, I might as well not care about either. "
"…"
"So, Tower Master, please let Xue Yi leave. I will not protect him. I will help him bear the blood debt, because I do not wish to become an accomplice. I will not hand them over to the immortal sects either, because they do not have the qualifications to punish others. If Xue Yi wants to hide, the immortal sects might not be able to find him. And if the immortal sects truly want to find him, they will definitely have a way. Time will prove everything, while I … will only be myself. "
Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, before he suddenly laughed, and his laughter grew louder. "Little little grand disciple, you … really surprise me." While Yu Yan was not around, he reached out and forcefully rubbed her head. For some reason, he could faintly see something that did not exist in the entire Divine Realm from her. Something called "Initial Heart". Though it was a little silly, but … Unexpectedly, it made people feel envious.
Zhu Yao awkwardly took a step back and slapped his hand away.
He did not mind, simply shaking his head. Casting an art, he waved his hand. In an instant, the heavy lightning clouds surrounding the Lightning Divine Hall dispersed, and formations opened up one after another. In less than an instant. A blue figure turned into a ray of light and flew out.
It was Xue Yi.
"Haah, it seems like even if you want to save him, he can't wait to leave as well?" Yu Jin said with a laugh. "Most probably, he will come looking for you to take revenge for that 'divine sword maiden' in the future. If that's the case, will you still insist on not interfering? "
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? The only thing I can do is to maintain my current self, and not be changed by this world. " Zhu Yao glanced at him, and suddenly smiled. She joked. "If everyone persevered, they might have already changed the world. Who knows?"
"…" Yu Jin was stunned. He suddenly felt his heart stirring, as though he had just seen the clouds.
Before he could figure out what it was. Suddenly, the heaven and earth shook, and the entire Lightning Divine Hall began to shake. Rays of dazzling light shone on the peak, instantly illuminating the entire floating mountain with a myriad of colors.
"Lightning Divine Tower!" Yu Jin's expression changed, and in a flash, he disappeared.
— — — —
Zhu Yao was a little dumbfounded as well. Looking at the strange light that suddenly descended from the sky, the light had all sorts of colors.
This … Is a rainbow descending from the sky?
This light did not seem to possess any killing power, yet it felt warm when it shone on her body. Why did it look a little familiar? Before she could ponder over it, with a sudden hum, her Life Origin Divine Sword suddenly flew out, and circled around her. When she reached out, it returned to her hand. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed to be a little excited.
"The light is being emitted by the Lightning Divine Tower." Her master came out from the house as well, and raised his head to look at the sky. "Something must have happened. Wait here, don't run around."
"Wait a minute!" Zhu Yao pulled onto her master. "Let's go together."
Yu Yan hesitated for a moment, before hugging onto his disciple and flying towards the mountain peak.
The moment they arrived at the mountain peak, they were stunned by the tower in front of them. The body of the tower that was initially as white as jade, began to open up from the bottom. As though a layer of skin had been peeled off, it began to slowly rise, revealing a multi-colored glass-like light within.
Zhu Yao had seen the opening of the Lightning Divine Tower in the past, but this time, the tower was opened up a little too much. The white body of the tower was constantly rising. At a distance of seven to eight meters visible to the naked eye, it had already completely turned into a multi-colored glass-like look.
"Great great grandmaster …" She could not help but call out to Yu Jin who was standing in front with a heavy expression.
"I don't know the reason either." He sighed and said. "I did not activate the Floor Master's divine revelation, yet the Lightning Divine Tower opened up on its own. And the way it opened up is even … "It was too strange.
If the current Lightning Divine Hall was considered to have opened the door to the tower, then the previous one could only be considered as digging a hole, right? The entire body of the tower looked as though it was shedding its skin. The white part of the tower was becoming lesser, and it was becoming more and more dazzling. Currently, it was no longer just the Lightning Divine Hall. Even the entire forest below was illuminated by the light.
The three of them were dumbfounded, as they did not know if this was good or bad. They could only watch as the white part of the tower rose higher and higher, before disappearing into the horizon. Revealing the multi-colored body of the tower, and a gigantic bug …
Eh!
Why did the word 'bug' was written on the body of the tower!?
What, the Lightning Divine Tower was a bug as well? It clearly wasn't there earlier! Was he telling her to push the tower?
Did he think this was an MMORPG, hey!?
"Yu Yao …" Yu Yan who was at the side suddenly turned to look at her, and his grip on her hand tightened.
Zhu Yao was startled, and then she fiercely widened her eyes. "Master, you can't be …"
"Mn." He nodded.
It can't be, right? Why was her master able to see it as well? What did the Realm Spirit mean?
Ting!
Suddenly, a row of red words flashed in front of her: The holiday is over. Brave young lady, begin your final journey!
Holiday? So the reason why she had not seen any bugs earlier was because she was still on holiday. Then why did he ask her to change her avatar again and again? Who the hell would wear work clothes every day while on holiday, hey!? Zhu Yao was instantly enraged. She really wanted to dig out a certain shameless person from behind the red words.
Ting!
The red light in front of her flashed, and a row of words changed: Congratulations on completing the Origin Code of Laws Mission. Reward: Little Bullshit Expert. Reward: Pui! Consider me blind!
"…"
What did this mean? Was he sure he wasn't scolding her? Was the little bullshit expert referring to the matter with Xue Yi?
Ting!
Before she could even react, that row of words changed once again: Activating Final Mission. Content: Tower Push! Clear Mission Reward: Plane Passage Permit (Only: 2).
Nah!
Zhu Yao could not hold back for a moment, and had almost crashed into the red words. She fiercely widened her eyes, confirming that she was not seeing things! Not only did he inform her of the mission in advance, he even clearly stated the Final Mission. The main point was that clear mission reward, Plane Passage Permit! She wasn't seeing things, right?
"Master, can you pinch me?" Please tell her that she wasn't dreaming?
Yu Yan tightened his grip on her hand. Though he had seen the 'BUG' word on the tower, Yu Yan did not see the red words. Seeing his disciple's nervous look, he could not help but pull her closer to him, and asked with a sunken voice. "Have you decided?"
Zhu Yao nodded. No matter if this was the Final Mission or not. Even if it was for the Plane Passage Permit, she had to deduce this tower.
Yu Yan sighed. Reaching out his hand, he habitually stroked her head, and softly said. "Your master will accompany you."
"… Mn." Zhu Yao hugged her own master. This time, they would definitely not separate.
***
"I wonder what's the reason behind this situation." Yu Jin studied it for a moment, yet he was unable to see anything. "I think it's best if we return … Eh? Where are they? "
He looked around, but the two of them were nowhere to be seen.
A cold breeze blew past …
He turned to look at the Lightning Divine Tower that had its door wide open. As a Floor Master who had guarded the tower for tens of thousands of years, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
He remembered … Little little grand disciple's cultivation had reached the level of a High Deity as well.
"…"
May I ask, can I scold people?
— — — —
The moment she entered the tower, Zhu Yao's vision was occupied by darkness. Everything in her surroundings had already disappeared.
Her heart panicked, and she subconsciously looked for her master, yet, she could not see anything.
Her mind, however, was like a horse lantern, flashing through everything from the first day she transmigrated into this world. Not a single little detail was left out, including some things that she herself had already forgotten … or those things that she had "forgotten".
She was dazed for an instant. The things that she could not figure out all this while, suddenly, she understood everything. All of the clues connected together. The panic in the depths of her heart instantly disappeared.
She looked at her surroundings with a little amusement. She actually took so long to guess it, she could be considered stupid.
She took a deep breath. "Realmspirit."
The moment her voice fell, the dark space instantly flashed. A familiar QQ chat window hung in the space, and it was still the same familiar interface.
Realmspirit: Yo, young maiden! I missed you so much. How was your holiday? Did you have fun? Did you bring me a present?
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. As expected, this guy was asking for a beating. He even dared to mention that ridiculous holiday. She took a deep breath, and suppressed the irritation in the depths of her heart. Glancing at the chat window with narrowed eyes, she sighed. "Are you sure you want to keep talking to me like this? Realmspirit! "
The screen did not react for a long while. Only after a long while did the next sentence appear.
Realmspirit: You knew?
"You never wanted to hide it from me from the very start, right?" Zhu Yao curled her lips. "Realmspirit, Realmspirit! Back when you came looking for me, you had already clearly told me your identity. Realmspirit … The spirit of the Three Realms. "
The moment her voice fell, the chat window instantly disappeared in a flash. Even the entire space had changed, as though a layer of curtains had been lifted. In an instant, an absolutely beautiful scenery appeared in her surroundings. Beneath her feet was a sea of flowers, and in the distance was a celestial mountain blessed land. Floating in the air were celestial peaks shrouded in divine energy, and there was even a waterfall that looked like silver silk flowing down. The air was filled with a soothing scent.
This scenery was even more beautiful than anything she had seen in the Divine Realm.
And at a place five steps in front of her, a figure was slowly appearing. His clothes were as white as snow, and he had a face that could topple the world. With a slight smile, everything in the surroundings seemed to have lost its color. He walked over with a smile, and the surrounding flowers and plants automatically separated, opening up a path for him. They even bent their branches, as though they were silently worshipping him.
Her figure was imprinted in his ink-like eyes, and he reached out a hand towards her. "I wish …"
Before he could finish! Zhu Yao grabbed onto his hand, and casually pulled it. Turning her body, she pressed down on the back of his head, and with a forceful smack, she pressed him into the mud on the ground.
"Aiya! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts … "The flowers and plants at the side instantly moved a few meters away.
"Why the hell did you turn into my master's appearance?" Don't think that I won't dare to beat you up just because you turned into this. I have tolerated you for a very long time! (To be continued.)
