The night was as dark as ink and the half moon hung high in the sky.
On top of the Full Moon Mountain, the silhouette stood with her hands behind her back. Her hair and white robe fluttered in the wind.
It was Luo Xin Jie.
She had changed from her usual flirtatious look. Like a fairy, she was noble, cold, pure, and flawless.
Ling Xian stood before her with a complex expression. He didn't know what to say.
After a long while, Luo Xin Jie's lips parted and broke the silence.
"Are you happy or sad to see me?"
"Both." Ling Xian softly sighed. His original intention was to save Luo Xin Jie. Now that she was safe, of course he was happy.
Sad because he had a feeling that he had been cheated, that he had been fooled.
Ling Xian looked at Luo Xin Jie in a serious manner, "I have three questions. Can you answer them?"
"Ask away." Luo Xin Jie played with her bangs. Her beauty outshone the moon.
"First, are you a foreigner?" Ling Xian stared at Luo Xin Jie. He hoped that she would admit it, but at the same time, he was afraid that she would.
"You are already sure. Why ask me?"
Luo Xin Jie grinned, "Isn't it a good thing to know?"
"I want you to admit it yourself. Answer me yes or no." Ling Xian's eyes were dark.
"Yes." Luo Xin Jie's smile disappeared.
"Very good. Second question, are you the traitor who let the needles go?" Ling Xian's expression was calm. However, his tightly clenched fists indicated that his heart was in turmoil.
"Yes."
Luo Xin Jie's expression was emotionless, "Are you satisfied?"
"Not yet. Last question."
Ling Xian's gaze was complex, "What … what is your identity?"
"I am a normal person. I have no special identity."
Luo Xin Jie smiled, "It's been a long time. We should be catching up, not answering questions."
"Why … do we need to catch up?" Ling Xian sighed. He refused to believe that Luo Xin Jie was a normal person.
The leader of the Underworld Valley told him to stay away from Luo Xin Jie. The leader of the Sea of Samsara told him the same thing. How could Luo Xin Jie have no special identity?
"Is there no need?"
"Are you saying that because I am a foreigner, you are going to distance yourself from me and forget our past?"
Luo Xin Jie erased her smile, "Ling Xian, is the difference between us that important to you?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian was silent. He didn't know how to answer Luo Xin Jie's question.
If he cared about his standpoint, he wouldn't have befriended Zhan Ge and wouldn't have taken Qing Wan as his disciple. But Luo Xin Jie was different.
She had done something that harmed the universe, how could Ling Xian not care?
"Your silence has answered everything."
Luo Xin Jie mocked herself, "When I was young, I shouldn't have met someone too stunning."
Shouldn't have?
Ling Xian was silent. Luo Xin Jie had confessed to him more than once but he treated it as a joke.
At this moment, he believed it.
When they first met, Luo Xin Jie wasn't young and he wasn't stunning either. But one look was enough to make them forget each other for the rest of their lives.
"I'll ask again. Can you tell me who you are?"
Ling Xian's eyes darkened. To be warned by two undefeatable ancestors, Luo Xin Jie's identity must be shocking.
"I'll answer you again. I'm just an ordinary person. I have no special identity."
Luo Xin Jie glared at Ling Xian, "Do you have any other questions?"
"Yes. Back then in Yunzhou, why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Ling Xian asked in a low voice. He had been suppressing this question for a long time and he still couldn't figure it out.
"I went to the Shang Qing Sect in Yuezhou."
Luo Xin Jie grinned, "Think about it and see if you can guess my goal."
"The Shang Qing Sect … the Soaring Key?"
Ling Xian's pupils constricted. The Soaring Door was You Chen's conspiracy. Luo Xin Jie was a foreigner who let go of the Heaven Falling Needle.
In other words, Luo Xin Jie and You Chen were on the same side. She went to the Shang Qing Sect for one reason.
To place the Soaring Key at the Shang Qing Sect.
"Smart. You Chen wanted to use the legend to destroy Planet Yong Xian."
"I was going to the universe, so I helped him place the Soaring Key at the Shang Qing Sect."
Luo Xin Jie grinned, "I didn't think the person who acquired the Soaring Key would be you. I also didn't think you already knew the Soaring Key was at the Shang Qing Sect."
"Why did you place the Soaring Key at the Shang Qing Sect?"
Ling Xian frowned. The reason why he knew the Soaring Key was at the Shang Qing Sect wasn't because he saw through You Chen's conspiracy, it was because of the lost century.
"Because the Shang Qing Sect happens to have a ruin."
Luo Xin Jie smiled, "Not everything is a conspiracy. Placing the Soaring Key at the Shang Qing Sect was a coincidence."
"I have one more question."
"Back then, I destroyed You Chen's conspiracy on the Planet of Yao. Why did you ask me to jump into the lake?"
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. After breaking the Heaven Sealing and Earth Locking Array, Luo Xin Jie used the excuse of treasure hunting and asked him to enter a lake.
The treasure he obtained was something even completion leveled cultivators wouldn't be interested in.
Back then, he already thought it was strange. Now that he found out Luo Xin Jie was a foreigner, this seemed to have a deeper meaning.
"The Heaven Sealing and Earth Locking Array is the strongest imprisonment array since the beginning of time. Nobody in the world can set it up. We can only rely on array boards."
"Array boards are not You Chen's possessions."
"You broke the Heaven Sealing and Earth Locking Array. Not only did you offend You Chen, you also offended the owner of the array board."
Luo Xin Jie softly sighed, "You have the energy of the array board on you. No matter which continent you are on, the moment you step into the Holy Realm, the owner of the array board will sense your location."
"So, you used the lake water to wash away the energy of the array board?" Ling Xian's expression froze. He finally understood why Luo Xin Jie told him to jump into the lake.
"That's right. If I didn't tell you to jump into the lake, you would've died a long time ago."
Luo Xin Jie rolled her eyes at Ling Xian, "What an ungrateful person. I saved you time and time again, yet you want to draw a line between us."
"I …" Ling Xian bitterly smiled.
It was a fact that Luo Xin saved him and it was also a fact that she was standing against him. What could he do?
"What about you? You ingrate. "
Luo Xin Jie played with her bangs, "Do you have more questions?"
"Yes. Who is the owner of the array board?" Ling Xian asked in a low voice.
"I cannot tell you. I can only say that he is a terrifying existence."
"If he wants to kill you, even if the leaders of the 10 forbidden zones protect you with their lives, they cannot save you."
Luo Xin Jie spoke softly, "If that wasn't the case, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to the Yao Planet to wash away the energy of the array board."
"Even if they protect me with their lives, they cannot save me …"
Ling Xian's heart skipped a beat. The leaders of the 10 forbidden zones were undefeatable powerhouses. Even if the 10 holy kinds use their full strength, they cannot do anything to them.
However, even if they protect him with their lives, they cannot save Ling Xian. It was not hard to imagine how terrifying the owner of the array board was.
"I have said what I need to say. As for what I shouldn't say, even if you steal my heart, I will not tell you."
Luo Xin Jie rolled her eyes at Ling Xian, "You stole my heart and now you want to draw a line between us. You heartless bastard."
"Don't call me heartless. If I really am heartless, I wouldn't have come to save you." Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. There was helplessness and happiness.
Helplessness was because of his messy relationship with Luo Xin Jie. Happiness was because many questions were answered.
Currently, he only had five questions left.
Luo Xin Jie's identity, who the owner of the array board was, the strange Heaven, the secret of the 10 forbidden zones, and why the Holy Realm wanted to destroy the universe.
