Fate was the most elusive and unfathomable thing in the world.
Pei Feng himself didn't expect that Li Yinlan, who was originally just a chess piece in his eyes to be removed sooner or later, a small puppet whose life and death were in his grasp, could actually jump out of the shackles, obtain a chance encounter, and become a Yuanying powerhouse in one fell swoop!
"Mr. Pei, everything that Li Linzhou passed on to me, especially everything about the Immortal World, is presumably what you want the most. I admit that I'm not your opponent, but I think I can still make you unable to get everything you want. Even if you're stronger than me, you can't stop me! "
Li Yinlan's voice was calm, calm, and powerful.
She was very clear that what she said was the truth, and she knew that Pei Feng was also very clear about it.
Both of them were in the Yuanying realm. There was a difference in their strength, but it wouldn't be to the extent of crushing the other in an instant.
If she wanted to make Pei Feng unable to get what he wanted … she had her own ways.
Pei Feng's face was gloomy. After a long silence, he faintly asked, "So, you want to live?"
"Yes, of course I want to live, I don't want to die!"
"State your conditions."
Pei Feng stared at her without blinking and said slowly, "Since you're a Yuanying cultivator now, I'll give you this chance. Whether you can grasp it or not, it's all up to you."
"You should know my temperament very well — if the final conditions can't be negotiated, you must die today. Even if I can't get what I want, you must die!"
Pei Feng similarly spoke these words resolutely and decisively, and every single word was like thunder.
Li Yinlan's heart suddenly chilled. After a moment of silence, she softly said, "Can you let me think about it, Mr. Pei?"
"Five minutes."
Pei Feng stared at her, his eyes biting cold. "You only have five minutes to think about it, Li Yinlan."
After a while, Li Yinlan looked up to the sky and sighed. She slowly bent her knees and knelt in front of Pei Feng.
Pei Feng frowned. "Why are you kneeling before me?"
"Heaven above, with the sun and moon as my witness, I, Li Yinlan, swear with my life today that from now on, I will follow Pei Feng, respect you as my master, cultivate the Devil Path, and never betray you!"
Pei Feng's eyes narrowed into slits as he spoke word by word, "When did I say that I wanted to take you in as my disciple?"
Without raising her head, Li Yinlan said softly, "Chang Xiaoe once told us that she always wanted to be your disciple, but you directly rejected her and gave her a sentence, 'Dao cannot be passed on easily'!"
"But later, you taught Pei Meng and the others the Tai Qing Foundation Scripture, True Classic of Awakening Orifices, Jade Virtual Green Cloud Skill, Cloud Sea Immortal Fist, Heavenly Wind Incantation, and many other peerless skills. Although Pei Meng and the others received your kindness and were grateful, they were also confused about your sentence 'Dao cannot be passed on easily' …"
"You clearly said 'Dao cannot be passed on easily', but … you have been continuously passing on the Dao. This is clearly contradictory! I was also confused at that time, but now I finally understand — "
"From the beginning to the end, what you taught … was not your own Dao, but the Dao of others! Your Devil Path … has never been passed on to anyone. This is the real 'Dao cannot be passed on easily'! "
Pei Feng smiled.
"After entering the Yuanying State, the heart is like a lotus, and the mind can deduce everything … Li Yinlan, it seems that nothing can be hidden from you now."
Li Yinlan still did not raise her head. Instead, she slowly bent down and prostrated herself on the ground.
"Mr. Pei, I, Li Yinlan … beg you to accept me as your disciple and teach me the Devil Path —!"
It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
After a long time, Pei Feng's cold voice slowly sounded, "Devil Qi has entered the meridians and marrow, and even the Almighty Golden Deity can't save you. Li Yinlan, you know that if you don't cultivate the Devil Path, you will die eventually … Whether I accept you as my disciple or not, we can talk about it later. As long as the conditions are good, as a follower, and a follower of the Yuanying State at that, I will not leave you in the lurch. You can rest assured."
"Stand up. Tell me your conditions first."
"Yes, Mr. Pei …"
Li Yinlan stood up slowly and solemnly said, "Actually, I only have two conditions."
"First, I beg Mr. Pei to let the Li Family of my parents live."
Pei Feng put his hands behind his back, stared at her and said coldly, "Your mother's family does not belong to the Li Family. I remember they are surnamed Luo. As for your father's family … "
"No matter what, they are direct relatives of Li Jiahang. Including your parents, I can allow you to let 10 people live at most, and they can't know that I am the one who destroyed the Li Family of Wu County. If they know, I will kill them!"
10 … 10 people?!
Li Yinlan's pupils suddenly shrank, and her face turned pale.
She knew that since Pei Feng said this, this was his bottom line.
Pei Feng's bottom line … No one could cross it!
"Fine! 10 people! "
Her voice was squeezed out from between her teeth, and her voice was trembling slightly.
"The 10 people do not include your grandfather, Li Tiankui, the Master of the Li Family of Jiangnan."
Pei Feng's eyes were deep and silver, and his face was indifferent, without sadness or joy.
Li Yinlan looked at him blankly, and finally closed her eyes slowly. "I understand, Mr. Pei."
"Tell me your second condition."
"Second, when you enter the Immortal World, Mr. Pei, please take me with you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Feng's eyes suddenly turned cold. "What on earth … did you know from that 'Moon Cutting Sword Whiz' Li Linzhou?!"
"As long as you agree, I will let you know everything immediately, Mr. Pei."
Pei Feng stared at her without blinking, and his face was gloomy.
"Fine, I agree to these two conditions, provided that you do not betray me or disobey me. If you disobey, the consequences … you know very well. "
"Yes, Mr. Pei."
Li Yinlan took a deep breath, looked up at him, and said with a serious expression, "Let me ask one more thing, Mr. Pei, is your hatred towards the Li Family of Jiangnan … because of that Li Jiahang?"
Pei Feng smiled faintly. "Is it important to ask this now?"
"It really is him —!"
Li Yinlan's face instantly turned ashen, and she gritted her teeth so hard that creaking sounds could be heard. Even the ground around her, as well as the Li Residence's gate and the bluestone brick walls, began to rumble and tremble!
"This incompetent and spoiled brute, a bastard who brings disaster to the family! A bastard who deserves a thousand cuts! I should have killed him long ago —!!! "
Pei Feng looked at her quietly, his eyes cold and unfathomable.
"Come with me, choose a secluded place, and pass on everything you know from Li Linzhou to me."
…
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, in a mountain forest 20 miles away from the Li Family's courtyard —
Pei Feng and Li Yinlan stood side by side on a high slope, looking up at the deep and vast sky, their expressions incomparably solemn.
