Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 18: One step forward, the sky is wide open
"Zhuo Ao was once the head of Yunshui Pavilion, one of the four pavilions of Wuji Immortal Palace. In ancient times, he was sent to Xuming Realm by Wuji Immortal Palace to carry out a secret mission. Unexpectedly, he never returned. Later, he was expelled from Wuji Immortal Palace and became a well-known traitor of Wuji Immortal Palace." When Huai Lian said this, the surroundings were so silent that one could almost hear the sound of silver needles falling to the ground.
"Then why haven't you, Wuji Xiangong, cleaned up your mess all these years?" Mo Yi couldn't understand. Since Zhuo Ao was a traitor to the Wuji Xiangong, they should have sent someone to deal with this misfortune long ago. Why n't they done anything before, allowing Zhuo Ao to act so arrogantly in the Xu Ming Realm? And aren't defectors usually supposed to keep a low profile? But that old fellow, Zhuo Ao, didn't exude a single ounce of modesty. He acted as he pleased, arrogant and unbridled, looking down on the world.
He was a man who had been carrying a huge soy sauce bucket and painting in a coquettish and ostentatious manner in the cold wind throughout the thousands of years of history of the Xuming Realm.
"Firstly, after my adoptive father left the Wuji Immortal Palace, he didn't leak any secrets about it, so it can't be said that he committed a heinous crime; secondly, it seems that the master-master deliberately wanted to let him off. The master said that everything is God's will, so he doesn't allow his disciples to cause trouble for him." Gong Lili noticed that when Huai Lian talked about the master-master, there was also a hint of respect on his face. It seemed that to him, the master-master and his adoptive father Zhuo Ao were both extraordinary.
This Huai Lian also seems to be a man who values friendship and loyalty.
Gong Lili suddenly understood why he had known for a long time that there were people in Wuji Immortal Palace who could not tolerate him, but he still pretended to be ignorant and tolerated them in every way.
"Then, why did you, Wuji Immortal Palace, come to the Xuming Continent to set up this 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation' this time?" After talking for a long time, the question seemed to have returned to the starting point. Mo Yi suddenly felt a little bit of recognition for this elder brother who appeared out of nowhere and might be his half-brother and older than his father. At least this was the first time that Gong Lili saw him show such a gentle expression to someone other than himself.
Maybe Mo Yi himself didn't know it, but his expression when facing Huai Lian at this moment was extremely peaceful. It was not like the aloof look Mo Yi usually put on when facing others. Instead, it was as natural as if they were brothers who grew up together. Blood relationship is indeed a scary thing.
"This is the secret of Wuji Immortal Palace, I can't tell you. At least now, I am still a member of Wuji Immortal Palace." Huai Lian was much more frank at this time, but the expression he looked at Mo Yi was a little more scorching. Unfortunately, what he said still disappointed everyone.
"I don't think so. At least your two junior brothers don't seem to regard you as a real senior brother, otherwise they wouldn't do such a thing. Moreover, the 'spiritual sound' on you will bring you even greater fatal disaster!" Gong Lili sighed in his heart and thought, I might as well be the bad guy. Although he met Huai Lian by chance, Gong Lili had a hunch that this person was as stubborn as Mo Yi. He would never give up until he was forced into a desperate situation and would never betray the people of Wuji Immortal Palace. However, people have already calculated him to this point. If he is allowed to continue like this, he will probably die.
Ying Lili is a person who protects her own shortcomings. Since she loves Mo Yi, she naturally loves Mo Yi and his family as well. Since Huai Lian is Mo Yi's brother, she doesn't want to see him end up in a miserable situation. So, she simply hardens her heart and tells the known truth in the most vicious way.
She knew that Huai Lian must have deep feelings for his master, and if he was not extremely disappointed with the Wuji Immortal Palace, he would never do anything outrageous.
However, Huai Lian's attitude sent Ying Lili from disappointment to anger. He simply lowered his eyes and didn't respond, seemingly neither denying nor accepting his current situation as Ying Lili wished. This look made Ying Lili even more furious. What kind of person is this? A grown man, can't he just be straightforward? Why is he pretending to be profound? Okay, Ying Lili subconsciously forgot that the man next to her also liked to pretend to be profound. But in the eyes of the beholder, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In Ying Lili's eyes, all of Mo Yi's shortcomings were directly filtered out as if she were blind.
"You're a grown man, can't you just be more decisive? What do you want? Just say it and stop playing dumb with us." Seeing Huai Lian still with that stubborn, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" expression, Gong Lili, like a little cannon, exploded directly. Although she felt Mo Yi's hand exerting a little force on her waist, as if to warn her not to go too far, but who was Gong Lili? She was one of the most passionate young women in the Void Realm. If she claimed to be second, no one would dare to claim to be first. When her blood rushed to her head, she would kill ghosts and wipe out gods. How could she be afraid of such a threat?
She rudely shook off Mo Yi's hand that was clamped around her waist and jumped in front of Huai Lian in two steps. Because of the height difference, she could only stand on tiptoe with her hands on her hips, but she was aggressive and unreasonable: "Give me a word, big brother? Are you mute?"
Seeing her aggressive look, someone who didn't know her might think that Huai Lian had abandoned her and was being chased by her for thousands of miles.
Although Huai Lian is a martial arts expert, he is still a relatively simple kid in nature. He has never seen such a battle. Although many brothers disliked him and secretly tried to trip him up when he was in Wuji Immortal Palace, due to Huai Lian's unique strength among the younger generation of disciples, no one had the courage to challenge him head-on, let alone being questioned so aggressively by a woman. Therefore, even heroes have moments of weakness.
Huai Lian subconsciously looked up at Mo Yi for help. Although Huai Lian was a bit stubborn, he was definitely not a fool. He had already noticed the close relationship between this woman and his new brother, so at this time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Mo Yi for help.
"Lili! Stop it!" Mo Yi was quite embarrassed at the moment. After all, the man in front of him was his elder brother. Although he couldn't accept it psychologically, the blood connection could not be severed. Especially, Mo Yi had deep feelings for his mother who had passed away long ago. As for Huai Lian, although they might be half-brothers, it was an indisputable fact that they had the same mother. For this reason, Mo Yi could no longer treat Huai Lian as a stranger.
Mo Yi hurried forward to pull Ying Lili away, but unexpectedly, the little girl was so stubborn that even ten horses couldn't pull her back. Ying Lili glared at Mo Yi fiercely and shook off his hand: "He is your elder brother, do you think I would hurt him?"
Mo Yi was speechless. He knew Ying Lili's good intentions, but he couldn't go too far, right?
Before Mo Yi could react, Ping Lili opened fire on Huai Lian like a machine gun: "To be honest, you and I just met by chance. Logically speaking, there is really no need for me to play the bad guy. To be shameless, I, Ping Lili, will not marry anyone other than Mo Yi in this life. Maybe tomorrow you will be my uncle, and we will be family. Why should I have to make things difficult for you? I'm not a cheapskate!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Huai Lian suddenly raised his eyes, but even Mo Yi behind him was choked and coughed twice in embarrassment.
How can this girl speak so directly?
But at this moment, Mo Yi stopped thinking about stopping her. Perhaps to some extent, he liked this point of her the most. She spoke her mind without reservation and was so straightforward that it was adorable.
However, Ying Lili turned a blind eye and continued to bombard Huai Lian: "But, it is because you are Mo Yi's eldest brother, and maybe one day you will become a member of my family, so I don't want to see you pushing yourself into the quagmire step by step. You have to know that things in this world cannot be solved by just being tolerant. Today they are using their hands to bully you, and you endure it. Tomorrow, they join forces to expel you, and you also give in. The day after tomorrow, they are going to peel off your skin and pull out your tendons? Do you want to strip yourself off completely and let them peel you off? Indeed, a real man has his dos and don'ts but that doesn't mean you have to be tolerant all the time! What can tolerance bring you? Can it protect your family? Can it protect yourself? Can it make justice prevail? Can it achieve the ideals in your heart? Don't be silly, it will only lead to eternal damnation, and you will end up with the reputation of a pedantic birdman."
Seeing how Gong Lili had made Huai Lian dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a long time, with his face turning pale and blue, Wei Xingying and others who were watching the fun just now were secretly sighing in their hearts, this girl has a really poisonous mouth.
At this point, Zeze and Ziyun Beast seemed to have pulled the twin fox demons back from the brink of death. They were curiously watching their sister Lili's furious expression, but their eyes were filled with immense admiration...
Sister Lili is so handsome! She actually yelled at that Wuji Immortal Palace expert like that!
Over there, Ying Lili had no idea she had become a bad role model for the other children. She let out a long sigh and said to Huai Lian earnestly, "A true man should have great ambitions. Instead of being trapped in the open and covert struggles of his fellow disciples and swallowing his anger all day, why not take the initiative and take a step forward? Perhaps once you step out, you'll find the skies high enough for birds to fly and the seas wide enough for fish to leap. Huai Lian, you're a genius by nature, so why do you have to confine yourself to this cage of your own making?"
These words finally stirred a ripple in Huai Lian's previously frozen heart. The sky is high, allowing birds to fly freely; the sea is wide, allowing fish to leap freely. For Huai Lian, what a distant and unattainable wish it was? Yet, it made him yearn for it so much!
Trapped in his own cocoon?! Is he really tracing his own path?
Huai Lian finally raised his head slowly and looked intently at the woman in front of him who was only as tall as his chest but was extremely fierce.
Her skin was as white as snow, her chin was pointed, and her long black hair was casually tied up with a long ribbon and spread over her shoulders, making her eyes look as clear as water.
Her appearance and her personality are like ice and fire.
If he hadn't heard what she said just now, he would never have thought that such a seemingly weak woman actually has the courage and spirit of a woman who is no less than a man. Could it be that his restrained state of mind is even worse than that of such a woman?
Just when Huai Lian's defenses were silently torn open by Gong Lili's words, suddenly, as if he felt something, Huai Lian frowned, suddenly picked up a blue talisman from his arms, and threw it into the air. Suddenly, a circle of dark blue circular barrier stood up in front of everyone!
At this moment, there were loud clanging sounds, and countless giant swords fell from the sky, colliding violently with the deep blue barrier!
Someone from Wuji Immortal Palace again? !
