Chapter 160 Your master is a tree stump or a stone mill.
The powerful young woman in gray spoke, but the rogue cultivators in front of her all wore obsequious smiles and dared not take a single step into the Gobi Desert.
The group remained in this strange stalemate for a while, until the heavy rain stopped, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and a bright moon reappeared. Xue Lan finally spoke.
The girl's voice was soft, as if she were talking to herself: "Didn't you come here seeking the opportunity to form your core? Are you waiting for the opportunity to come to you, so timid and hesitant?"
After saying this, the girl grabbed Lu Feng and Xue Tong by the collar and took a step forward.
In an instant, the three of them turned into faint shadows in the moonlight and flew straight into the depths of the Gobi Desert.
"She's gone, let's follow her. We can't let them have all the opportunities."
"Yeah yeah!"
……
After Xue Lan and her two companions left, the group of independent cultivators whispered amongst themselves for a while before gradually entering the Gobi Desert. In the end, only a little girl and her mother remained.
The two of them were hiding in the corner, and Xue Lan hadn't paid much attention to them. Otherwise, she would definitely have noticed.
These two were not human. The middle-aged woman had wings covered in black feathers hidden under the wide sleeves of her robe.
The little girl glanced at her mother: "Mother, Zhi'er is scared."
The middle-aged woman looked at her child, a warm smile on her face: "It's alright, Mother will always be with you."
The two slowly entered the Gobi Desert.
Are these two monsters? On the top of a dilapidated building in the Gobi Desert, Xue Tong watched the mother and daughter slowly enter the desert.
Behind the crumbling wall, Xue Lan softly spoke up upon hearing this: "It's a crow."
The mother and daughter were a crow demon and a half-demon. The father was probably only afraid of ordinary mortals.
After saying those three words, the girl looked at Lu Feng, who was standing behind her and didn't dare to say a word: "Don't be so reserved. Didn't I already tell you that I'm your senior master?"
Lu Feng, somewhat rebellious, said, "Yes, yes, you're my senior master, so who is my master?"
Xue Tong now had a say: "We can just pick one later, a tree stump or a stone mill or something."
Lu Feng's expression froze instantly, and the young man asked somewhat unwillingly, "Isn't it because our grandmaster is so unscrupulous in accepting disciples?"
Xue Tong thought to herself that Ling Yuanzi had now lost the right to take on disciples, and that power was now in Xue Lan's hands.
Xue Tong wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Xue Lan who suddenly spoke up: "Tree stumps and stone mills are too unrefined. After we leave, we will be heading to the Great Li Dynasty."
The girl spoke in a drawn-out tone, the last syllable lingering in the air: "Let's acknowledge the first ox we encounter as our master."
Lu Feng thought to himself, "You're really good at planning. I heard everything you were thinking."
Whether it's a tree stump, a stone mill, or an old ox, you're always the one who suffers the loss.
This raised a question in Lu Feng's mind. He had previously asked the immortal who recruited disciples, and his aptitude and character were both good. However, Xue Lan had specifically rejected him at the Ascension Ceremony. He had held a grudge against Xue Lan for several months.
The young man's mind raced, and he looked at Xue Lan to the side, carefully asking, "Immortal Master said at the Ascension Ceremony that this junior's character was not good, so why are you taking me in now?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Lan smiled slightly: "Because I... use my power to oppress others."
Upon uttering those two words, Lu Feng felt a cold sweat break out on his back. He thought to himself that he had truly gone mad, actually bringing up such nonsense in front of Xue Lan. Although this person was indeed a legitimate disciple of a prestigious sect, she didn't seem like a magnanimous person at all.
Xue Xiaoxin Yanlan looked at the boy in front of her who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and revealed a faint smile.
This child hasn't been in the cultivation world for long, and hasn't yet been turned into a dark protagonist by the so-called plot. Although his mind is rather cunning, he is indeed...
Easy to guess!
Lu Feng didn't hear what Xue Lan said next, but the young man had already assumed that the other person was angry.
After mentally rehearsing his death seven or eight times, Lu Feng decided to risk his life.
The boy spoke tremulously, "Why didn't you kill me when you were in Lu Family Village, senior?"
Xue Lan was displeased upon hearing this. She turned directly to Lu Feng and said, "Let me tell you again, in Lu Family Village I only killed Wang Feng, and that was after I had asked for permission!"
"As for why you didn't die? Because no one in the underworld accused you."
Lu Feng did not die, partly because Xue Lan had warned Gu Yuan beforehand, and partly because no one in the underworld filed a lawsuit against her.
Lu Feng's mother tacitly accepted her son's heartlessness and only sued her husband.
Lu Feng froze on the spot. The boy slowly opened his mouth, but did not utter a single word.
"Lu Feng, are you feeling guilty?" Xue Lan asked slowly.
The boy slowly turned his head: "I don't remember."
He didn't remember his mother. In Lu Feng's memory, she was a very dull and wooden woman, always busy. In Lu Feng's memory, she was forever just a silhouette.
Upon hearing Lu Feng's reply, Xue Lan gently said, "You were bewitched by that remnant soul at the time, and being a young child, you naturally forgot."
Lu Feng clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his palm.
Xue Lan continued, "During the years that Old Mo manipulated you, it wasn't just the women of Lujia Village who died, but also your humanity."
“I can be frank with you. If you had really refined the ghost spirit back then and used it for cultivation, your three spiritual roots would have been eroded and disappeared on the spot.”
Lu Feng looked astonished, a tear rolling down the corner of the boy's eye. He wiped the tear away somewhat awkwardly, his eyes red and swollen.
I don't know if it's because of my own tragic experiences, or because of that vague memory of my mother.
Xue Lan hoped it would be the latter, thus fulfilling the woman's last wish.
"Those lost memories are the reason you gradually became just an empty shell. That remnant soul only wanted to use you from the very beginning..."
"Crack!"
A thunderclap suddenly boomed over the once silent Gobi Desert, and the moon was obscured by a cloud. Xue Lan knew that this was another warning from the plot.
This is so annoying! One day she'll write a book about Lu Fengyuan's experiences in the original story and let him read it. If the story has the guts, it'll kill her.
A bolt of lightning struck the broken wall not far from Xue Lan, sending up billowing black smoke.
Xue Lan immediately became obedient.
After all, this is not the will of Heaven.
"Do you regret it now?" The girl faced Lu Feng, her words full of smiles, but her tone was icy cold: "But it's too late. Not only in this life, but in the next life, and the life after that, you will never be able to repay her kindness."
Standing next to the girl, Xue Tong felt that there was no one in the world more suitable to be the villain than Xue Lan.
She was more insane than any of her previous hosts.
While Xue Lan was attacking Lu Feng, she was also revealing the plot to him, seemingly treating the boy as a puppet. But in reality, she was awakening his conscience.
Xue Lan is a very contradictory person.
