Chapter 416 What We Actually Know
Master Nie had lived for over a thousand years and had never seen such a shameless person as Xue Lan.
Who said the Wolf Clan Chief is aloof and unapproachable?
She's heartless and she stirs up trouble between people!
Xue Lan disagreed with this statement. The woman's figure had almost disappeared, but her voice remained:
"What are you saying, Senior Nie? Xue Lan didn't just make this up out of thin air."
"It's just telling the truth."
After saying this, Xue Lan's figure completely disappeared beside Su Jun Sword and could no longer be seen.
All that remained was Master Nie, his face etched with sorrow.
Xue Lan appeared in Jin Yue Lake, right in front of Lü Su's hut.
A beautiful young woman in a light purple dress stood at the doorway of the house, and smiled gently when she saw Xue Lan.
"My Lord Demon Lord, it's been a long time."
Just from that one sentence, Xue Lan's eyes welled up with tears.
Xue Lan casually broke off a reed from the side and swung it around in her hand:
"long time no see."
“Lü Su”.
Lu Su looked at Xue Lan quietly.
The appearance of the Demon Lord in this life is quite different from that in the previous life, but the gentleness hidden in his bones has never changed.
The woman looked at Xue Lan, who was slowly walking towards her, and said in a low voice:
"I should have recognized you sooner."
Led by the woman, Xue Lan entered the small house and slowly shook her head upon hearing this:
"I'm sorry to you all."
"It's my fault for not protecting you."
The spirits of Jinyue Lake once devoutly believed in Xue Lan, thinking that their Wolf Lord could not only bring favorable weather and abundant harvests, but also peace and prosperity to the world.
Xue Lan sat on the chair:
"You trusted me so much."
Lu Su picked up a small basket containing water chestnuts from the side and placed it next to Xue Lan.
"This is not your fault."
Lu Su was only ten years old when she first saw Xue Lan. The Demon Lord appeared out of thin air in the reed marshes, covered in blood, with a face as beautiful as a fairy from legend.
Grandma took Lü Su home to rescue Xue Lan and help her recover. This was the best thing Lü Su ever did in her life.
Xue Lan ate water chestnuts, her voice soft:
“You know nothing.”
The people in Jinyue Lake are too simple-minded; they don't know that they were originally people Xue Lan was prepared to sacrifice at any time.
Lu Su couldn't stand her anymore.
The woman poured Xue Lan a glass of water, then spoke softly:
"Actually, we know."
Xue Lan stopped what she was doing.
The woman's voice trembled slightly: "What do you know?"
Lu Su sat opposite Xue Lan, her bright, clear eyes looking at Xue Lan, her voice incredibly gentle:
"My lord, everyone at Jinyue Lake knows their fate."
Xue Lan felt as if something had pierced her heart, leaving a gaping hole.
"Lü Su!"
Xue Lan wanted Lü Su to stop talking, but she couldn't utter a single word.
"We knew our fate the night we rescued you."
When the Wolf King was first corrupted by demonic energy and was extremely weak, he accidentally revealed the truth.
The entire Jinyue Lake area is pretending not to know.
Xue Lan felt as if a huge stone was lodged in her chest.
"So...you know..."
Since you know this, why can you calmly accept your own death?
Tears welled up in Lü Su's eyes. The woman looked at Xue Lan and wanted to go up and wipe away the tears on Xue Lan's face.
She is now very grateful to Nie Jing; perhaps heaven allowed her to survive in this world, not just so that she and Nie Jing could express their feelings for each other.
It is also to save the adults who have trapped themselves.
"My lord..." Lu Su's voice trembled with tears.
"Grandma said that a person's heart should not be filled with hatred throughout their life."
"Even gods should not make unreasonable demands."
Besides, their master wasn't some god, but just a somewhat lonely big white wolf.
The big white wolf likes to eat boiled water chestnuts and sit in a daze.
Lu Su tilted her head and smiled at Xue Lan, the scenery before her eyes blurred into a jumbled mess by her tears:
"Everyone in Jinyue Lake is willing to die for you, sir."
"Even if that person doesn't come, we know that day will eventually come."
Xue Lan stood up and grabbed her hand:
"Aren't you going to ask me anything?"
They didn't even ask me if I needed their sacrifices.
Lu Su wiped away her tears with her other hand, a smile playing on her lips:
"Doesn't the master not ask either?"
"You don't even ask us if we need your protection."
Xue Lan couldn't utter a single word.
Her domineering and autocratic nature was criticized from the very beginning of her life.
He was criticized by Xue Tong and mocked by his inner demons.
However, Xue Lan never thought it was a big deal, and she stubbornly carried out her own ideas.
To sacrifice oneself to save others.
I never considered whether the person being saved would be willing...
Now she understands.
They wouldn't agree.
She was unwilling at all to have been given her life by the spirit of the cave in Jinyue Lake.
Xue Lan stood in front of Lü Su, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls.
Lu Su finally couldn't help but wipe away Xue Lan's tears.
"My lord... don't cry."
"Nobody wants to see you cry."
Xue Lan stopped crying, and a long silence unfolded between their fingertips.
Xue Lan sat back down in her seat and quietly ate the water chestnuts.
One after another, until one was caught off guard and a water chestnut cut between his fingers.
"grown ups!"
The bright red color and Lü Su's shouts brought Xue Lan back to her senses.
Xue Lan raised her bleeding hand to Lü Su:
“Lu Su, I don’t need to sacrifice myself.”
"I feel terrible..."
Bright red blood droplets fell with Xue Lan's movements, slicing across the protruding knuckles of her wrist.
Xue Lan shook her head in pain:
"But I have no choice."
Everyone hopes she can keep moving forward.
Those who died all wished that she could move on.
We've traversed the raging flames of Jinyue Lake, the long nights of Jiyue Mountain, and the desolate wasteland ravaged by monsters...
Until the bright future of the Yuanming Realm.
The people of Jinyue Lake offered everything to their revered Demon Lord.
Perhaps it wasn't just for her.
Xue Lan looked at Lü Su, and a light blue spiritual energy appeared in her hand.
"Lu Su, was this the person who led you into Jin Yue Lake and made you immolate yourselves back then?"
The light blue aura in Xue Lan's palm kept changing, eventually transforming into a dignified middle-aged man.
Upon seeing the man, Lü Su's expression went blank for a moment. Then she collapsed.
Xue Lan used her spiritual power to catch the woman and placed her on the bed. Then she looked at the red line extending from the woman's body.
The red thread was connected to the image in Xue Lan's hand.
"What good luck," the inner demon said.
"Several patriarchs of the Lin family were the first to try it on you."
Xue Lan didn't speak. The woman gently twisted her wrist, and the image was crushed.
The woman's voice was icy cold.
"It's good that you know who it is."
A storm is brewing, and a fierce wind fills the building!
