Chapter 1465 He's not Xie Baiyi's father
On the other hand, before Qu Yimian appeared.
As the two unlucky ones who were captured, Xie Baiyi and Shen Weixun actually did struggle a bit.
But after Qu Yi Mian appeared.
After various overt and covert attempts, they not only failed to figure out where they were, but were also unilaterally cut off from all contact with the outside world, leaving them completely helpless.
Oh no, I should say that only Shen Weixun was lying flat.
At least Xie Baiyi still firmly believed that they would definitely find a way to escape, and he was diligently and consciously observing them.
'You're just giving up like that?' He frowned, and seized an opportunity to quickly nudge Shen Weixun with his arm.
This person lay down far too quickly.
'if not? '
Shen Weixun glanced at him, wanting to stay away from this dangerous individual, but then she remembered that they were in the same boat, so she could only convey her meaning with her eyes.
Fortunately, the two were quite familiar with each other, so this communication, which only existed in their minds, could be transmitted without any obstacles.
Qu Yimian, who had just finished spouting nonsensical ramblings, became somewhat displeased.
From her perspective, it was as if these two chiefs were exchanging glances right in front of her... no, I mean, flirting.
Qu Yimian wasn't on guard, nor did she believe that the two could escape her grasp. After all, as the saying goes, if she couldn't handle Gu Xia, there was no reason why she couldn't handle her two protégés.
But that familiar feeling of being ignored returned, and the demonic energy around her became increasingly unstable.
"Didn't you want to know what I meant just now?"
His tone was strange, and his manner of speaking was extremely bizarre.
The two immediately stopped their playful nudging and poking, exchanged a silent glance, and neither spoke first.
Oh no, I should say Xie Baiyi wanted to go forward and say something, but Shen Weixun noticed him and quickly pulled him back.
"what are you doing?"
Xie Baiyi was so startled by his move that she almost did a split on the spot. She only managed to adjust her posture in time thanks to the agility of a sword cultivator. She turned her head and glared at him with twitching lips.
Shen Weixun ignored his seemingly accusatory tone and said calmly, "Naturally, it's to prevent you from delivering it."
The current situation is quite strange; the best approach is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
Of course, Shen Weixun blinked.
For some reason, Qu Yimian's reaction seemed somewhat familiar.
He still remembered that his junior sister had once solemnly shared some of her experience with them.
Sometimes, the more they want to know something, the more they need to stay calm.
Because people have a rebellious streak, even if you don't relentlessly press them for answers, over time they will eventually be unable to hold back and reveal the truth they want to know.
All they need to do is wait and see.
Xie Baiyi: "..."
What do you mean by preventing him from delivering it?
What are we sending? Are we sending heads?
When did Shen Weixun's foul mouth become so hateful?
But he still had his brains; he pursed his lips and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
The two stood motionless, their expressions increasingly indifferent.
*
Sure enough, after the two captured 'hostages' had calmed down, Qu Yimian finally couldn't hold back any longer—no, I should say she finally made a move again.
She slowly stepped forward, her dark eyes turning bloodshot as she stared intently at Xie Baiyi. Coupled with the extremely quiet atmosphere around them, it gave off a chilling feeling.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Qu Yimian called out again, as if she had some obsession with this form of address, "Why won't you stand on my side?"
Oh wow.
Upon hearing this nonsensical remark, Shen Weixun, who had just been holding onto Xie Baiyi to prevent him from seeing him off, let go of his hand and silently moved to the side.
It seems they really are after Xie Baiyi, so it's none of his business.
He can't save the other person every time, can he?
He's not Xie Baiyi's father.
Sensing this subtle thought, Xie Baiyi disregarded Qu Yimian's abrupt question and turned to look at Shen Weixun, who was silently making his presence less noticeable.
Hello? You just disappeared like that?
What happened to our promise to stand together through thick and thin?
No, what do you mean?
Shen Weixun gave him a fake smile, then casually turned his head away, looking at the sky and the ground but not at him.
They had originally planned to advance and retreat together, but it seemed the enemy's attention was now focused entirely on their teammates...
Then we can't blame him.
"Better to die than for myself." If Xie Baiyi were to die, he would collect the body for him.
"..."
Xie Baiyi, with a look of utter betrayal on his face, turned around and asked blankly, "What do you mean I'm not willing to stand on your side?"
He said coldly, "What does this have to do with me?"
Regarding the things that Qu Yimian did, he colluded with the demon and monster races and even involved ghost cultivators, daring to seize the power of the Heavenly Dao and harm all living beings.
Is he crazy to stand with the other person?
What is it that's bothering him?
Qu Yimian's eyes reddened even more, and she suddenly burst into laughter, "I knew you would say that. I guess in your eyes, I am a heinous criminal, right?"
Xie Baiyi remained silent.
But that's okay, sometimes silence is the best answer.
Qu Yimian was laughing when her emotions suddenly erupted. She stared at him in a hoarse voice, "But I ended up like this because you forced me into this situation!"
“I also have a top-grade spiritual root. I was once exceptionally talented and famous in the cultivation world, surrounded by admirers. Everyone liked me, and no one could overshadow me. But all of that was completely destroyed because of Gu Xia.”
"It was just a sacrifice for the Taiyi Sect, only a few close disciples and some other disciples died," she murmured. "Why would you draw your sword against me for the sake of these insignificant people..."
With the memories of both lifetimes combined, even though there were some things she couldn't see before, she now understands them all completely.
The demon resided in her sea of consciousness, ostensibly to recuperate, but in reality, it harbored ulterior motives.
She was too worried, worried that Gu Xia, who had been driven away, would one day make a comeback, so she wanted to use the power of the Heavenly Demon to firmly trample the other party under her feet.
Even if Qu Yimian didn't want to admit it in her heart.
But back then, Gu Xia was the most dazzling presence in the Qingyun Sect.
With her sword slung over her shoulder, the young girl's cold and aloof demeanor was enough to draw countless gazes simply by standing there.
All cultivators admire strength. Just because she was a sword cultivator, and because sword cultivators are powerful, even though her personality wasn't likable, every time she led a team down the mountain, the disciples would look at her with admiration and amazement.
The majority of people who had previously been won over by Qu Yimian have now turned their attention to another person.
The saying goes that love grows over time, but in reality, hatred can also grow over time.
Both being direct disciples, or even from the same school, the long-standing imbalance in their relationship gradually fostered a dark undercurrent within them, which lingered for a long time.
She thought... if only Gu Xia didn't exist in this world.
In that case, she would be the only junior sister in the Qingyun Sect.
With her talent and luck, replacing the other person would be a piece of cake.
The Heavenly Demon keenly perceived this and made good use of it.
So the two hit it off.
That qi deviation was a grave specifically chosen for Gu Xia.
What Qu Yimian and Tianmo did not expect was that the other party could survive such a near-death experience.
Fortunately, it wasn't a complete failure.
At the very least, Gu Xia is completely ruined, and she has also lost the heart of her master, Yue Ming.
And so, little by little, the erosion of the Heavenly Demon came silently, like a gentle spring breeze and a light rain.
Qu Yimian's malice was gradually amplified until there was no turning back.
She had almost forgotten about this person, but when the Heavenly Demon intended to attack the Taiyi Sect, Gu Xia suddenly reappeared in her field of vision.
Even after leaving the Qingyun Sect, the other party was incredibly lucky and found a new master and senior brothers.
Therefore, Qu Yimian agreed to Tianmo's plan without the slightest hesitation.
However, this time their usually successful actions backfired spectacularly.
The tragedy that occurred at Taiyi Sect shocked the entire cultivation world.
Other sects also received some news to varying degrees.
The moment the adulation faded, that wasn't what bothered Qu Yimian the most. What she found most unbearable was—
Upon learning that she was involved in the matter, Xie Baiyi hurriedly emerged from seclusion. The first thing he did was not to comfort her, but to draw his sword and firmly protect the remaining Taiyi Sect disciples behind him.
The boy's gaze was icy cold, and deep within his eyes lay an unconcealable disappointment.
Xie Baiyi was actually very easy to fool. She felt that only such a prodigy was worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with her, and it took her a lot of effort to win his heart.
Unexpectedly, when she needed him the most, Xie Baiyi chose to protect the panicked Taiyi Sect disciples.
Instead of disposing of these remaining 'witnesses' for her.
The Path of Ruthlessness is truly ruthless.
