The simultaneous request by the two to leave made Chen Guanshui instinctively feel sothing was wrong.
What is going on? Are they going back to the sect to get reinforcents? Will they return with a large group of their family to take away?
But he still feigned calmness and said with a smile:
"Must you go back? I can have Ah Jing help bring the books over."
"Daoist friend of Jade Pond also knows artifact forging?" Shi Liuli said surprisedly, "I’m not sure what particular books are needed yet; it might take going through about a hundred books to confirm. How about asking the friend to take a look?"
"The library of the Xu Family of Southern Heaven is heavily guarded with nurous traps and overseen by elders." Xu Yinglian also smiled as she spoke, "However, Daoist friend of Jade Pond is highly skilled in illusion techniques, so surely you could bypass those hurdles to find the books I want."
"Let’s forget it." Upon hearing how troubleso it was, the Kunlun Mirror imdiately got cold feet, "Guanshui, I think it’s better to let them handle it. After all, this concerns nding the heavens, so we must ensure nothing goes wrong."
I’m just afraid that once they go back, an unforeseen incident might occur... Chen Guanshui complained silently.
However, thinking it over carefully, although Liuli is scheming, she’s expecting our child at this mont and surely won’t betray .
Yinglian has always been proud and aloof, definitely disdaining to ever act deceitfully.
Carefully pondering all possibilities, Chen Zi’ang finally realized that from the mont he entrusted his wives with the grand task of amalgamating the Heaven-nding Stone, it was destined that he must trust them—otherwise, all prior actions would make him look like an idiot.
"Alright." He quickly put on a "trust without doubt" attitude and said briskly, "I’ll see you off."
After sending Xu Yinglian and Shi Liuli off, Chen Guanshui returned to the undersea cavern and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
In his original plan, once he gathered the six fragnts of the Heaven-nding Stone, it was just a matter of doing this and that to turn them into the Heaven-nding Stone for nding the heavens.
Now it seems that "this and that" is actually quite troubleso, what is going on?
Shouldn’t once you have all the fragnts, the six pieces co together with a snap and directly fly to the sky for nding?
Circling so unrealistic ideas in his mind, Chen Guanshui once again looked towards the five-colored stone fragnts in the furnace.
Compared to their initially sharp-edged shape, the fragnts in the furnace were already sticking together, forming a kind of "you in , in you" state, indicating that the lting process was indeed near its end.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt sothing pressing against his back.
Chen Guanshui: ?
"Junior Brother." An Zhisu’s voice ca from behind, "I have a few questions to ask you."
Chen Guanshui was startled, suspecting that Senior Sister An was holding a sword against him from behind, and if he didn’t answer satisfactorily, she would pierce him front and back, blood splattering everywhere!
"Ask away, Senior Sister." He said calmly.
"You..." An Zhisu hesitated, only to hear Chen Guanshui suddenly say firmly:
"I have loved."
An Zhisu: ?
"No." She felt a slight urge to laugh but quickly stiffened her face again and said coldly, "I now know that the reason you took the alias Ling Yunpo to join Shushan was to seize the Heaven-nding Stone fragnt from the Long Eyebrow Immortal."
"Moreover, it was who personally chose you to join Qingluo Peak, not that you were scheming to join the master’s sect, so I do not bla you for that."
"But they..." Before An Zhisu could finish, Chen Guanshui explained once more:
"Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian forming as Daoist Companions does not an Ling Yunpo cannot have feelings for Senior Sister An. I initially indeed thought this way."
"It is not because I am shaless, but as a double agent, I must constantly divide my heart... into three parts. In Kunlun, I play as Qiu Changtian, in Penglai, I play as Luo Yan, so I have no way to think about Ling Yunpo."
He sighed deeply and said:
"Senior Sister, at this point, it’s my fault towards you."
An Zhisu remained silent, her heart in severe turmoil.
Of course, she understood what being a double agent ant. If while playing Ling Yunpo in Shushan, he had already pledged his life to Senior Sister, and then while playing single Luo Yan in Penglai, he refused all girls who showed interest, constantly reminding himself "I already have Senior Sister," isn’t that nonsense?
When playing Luo Yan, he also had to consider Ling Yunpo’s persona, he would be exposed instantly!
Regarding Junior Brother already having a Daoist Companion in other sects, when An Zhisu thought back on it now, she still felt both angry and distressed.
She was angry about having so many romantic rivals, annoyed that Junior Brother had kept it a secret from her until now, and the subtle heartache deeply hidden was due to knowing that "Junior Brother had no other choice," under which she felt sympathy and compassion for his current embarrassing predicant.
Others nd the heavens and ascend in place, being revered as the most sacred among the human race by later generations; yet my Junior Brother nds the heavens risking life and limb, like walking on thin ice, finally to be left isolated, with even the closest ones finding it hard to forgive him, what sense does that make!
"Even if you admit to having failed , what can you do now?" An Zhisu said sadly, "Now that it’s done, can I kill you, or kill them instead?"
"They are not at fault, please do not harm them, Senior Sister." Chen Guanshui sensed the hard object was still pressed against his back, guessed her intent, and said in a heartbroken manner, "Please cut down instead."
"Dying on the eve of nding the heavens, are you willing?" An Zhisu trembled as she spoke.
