Chapter 783: Finale 264: Gu Clan!

Can't I apologize to you? Don't be so heartless, okay?

Chu Youwei was crying, she truly felt heartbroken.

I'm so pitiful, Senior Brother—if you saw me, you'd surely forgive me. It's a shame she's not here.

I've tried hard not to think of Xiao Jiu anymore; now my heart only holds Senior Brother.

She said this, gazing toward some direction in the void, and spoke loudly.

Senior Brother, show up already! I know you're watching me from the shadows.

How can you bear to treat me like this? I'm your junior sister!

Chu Youwei's vision blurred with tears.

She recalled many past events...

Back then, the Cangjian Sect hadn't risen yet; there was nothing like this vast star sea we have now—it was merely a dominant power on a single star.

Senior Brother Yang Xuan spent all day out searching various secret realms for opportunities.

He brought back not only plenty of cultivation resources for her, but also for the Master!

Senior Brother's sword talent is heaven-defying, and his fate is equally heaven-defying!

Every time he gains terrifying opportunities!

As if the heavens favored him.

Back then, she greatly admired Senior Brother, feeling he was the heavens of the Cangjian Sect.

He alone upheld the entire sect!

Senior Brother, will you let me marry you?

Chu Youwei asked this more than once.

Yang Xuan merely stroked her hair and said, 'Don't think wildly.'

Thinking this, tears of regret streamed down Chu Youwei's face: 'But why, why did I later forget Senior Brother's kindness?'

After a moment, she finally remembered.

It's because Senior Brother has been away too long!

Chu Youwei gazed toward the direction she imagined, as if Yang Xuan stood there watching her, and she spoke through tears.

Senior Brother, this isn't my fault!

It's because you left the Cangjian Sect too long, went to the God-Burial Abyss, and never returned; I forgot your kindness—this isn't my fault.

Her tears kept falling.

Endless regret and pain welled up in her heart.

Indeed, I shouldn't have treated you and Yang Ling'er this way.

But Yang Ling'er really has moments that infuriate people—why did she have to flee the Main Star!

Next, Chu Youwei began to sob incessantly again.

But in the dark, silent starry sky, no one responded.

This caused Chu Youwei's heart to fill again with endless hatred and fury.

Speak!

Speak, Senior Brother!

Speak, Yang Xuan!

……

Pain tormented her with incessant spasms; finally unable to bear it, she went to Hua Jieyu's cave dwelling.

She stared in shock at Hua Jieyu and said, 'Master, what's wrong with you?'

Just because.

At this moment, Hua Jieyu was extremely disheveled, her robe stained with blood, sword qi leaving many bloody gashes on her body, looking utterly miserable.

Hua Jieyu said lightly, 'The fortune of this heaven and earth has faded, and so has mine. I am gradually losing my insight into the sword way.'

Ah?

Chu Youwei was dumbfounded.

Hua Jieyu's gaze dimmed: 'I've been thinking lately; perhaps you shouldn't have treated Yang Ling'er that way, especially you. This made Yang Xuan bear a deep hatred for my Cangjian Sect.'

Me?" Chu Youwei looked blank: "But Master, wasn't that your order?"

She froze.

If it wasn't the Master's order, how could he, Tang Jiu, and the entire sect have treated Yang Ling'er that way?

Nonsense!

Hua Jieyu shouted, 'When have I ever said to let you abuse Yang Ling'er?'

Chu Youwei's body trembled; after thinking carefully, searching her memory, it seemed Hua Jieyu indeed never said to let them abuse Yang Ling'er.

But the Master's lack of prohibition means it's allowed!

Know that Hua Jieyu is the highest cultivator of the Cangjian Sect—she is the heavens of the Cangjian Sect!

At this moment.

Hua Jieyu said coldly, 'Chu Youwei, you will never admit this is due to your selfishness and jealousy. How could I not know you, my second disciple?'

Chu Youwei looked incredulous: 'Selfish? Jealous?'

Hua Jieyu snorted coldly, 'Back when Yang Xuan picked you up and treated you like a real sister, your heart has always been jealous of Yang Ling'er—I noticed long ago.'

When Yang Xuan hadn't yet left the Cangjian Sect for the God-Burial Abyss, you were already jealous of Yang Ling'er.

Chu Youwei was greatly shocked, frightened into continually stepping back.

I'm not! I didn't! You're talking nonsense!

I have never been jealous of Yang Ling'er.

Hua Jieyu's face showed a mocking expression, "We're both women—do you think I don't understand you?"

So after Yang Xuan left the Azure Sword Sect and went to the God-Burying Abyss, you began tormenting Yang Ling'er to make up for your inner jealousy… you have always been a pervert.

Ah… Chu Youwei turned pale with shock, plopping down on the ground, "But that was your permission! Master! That was your permission!"

Hua Jieyu said coldly, "Think about it slowly—when Yang Xuan returns next time, if you and I both apologize to him, who will he forgive? I never told you to persecute Yang Ling'er; I merely declared Yang Xuan a criminal."

Perhaps my greatest mistake was squeezing Yang Xuan too hard. When I learned his lifespan was short, I wanted to wring out his last bit of value!

And at that time, I didn't believe in the sect's fortune theory. Now I do. I really did wrongly blame Yang Xuan.

She still harbored a faint hope that Yang Xuan would forgive her.

But Chu Youwei's face turned grim as she shouted, "Master, you're using me!"

Hua Jieyu snorted, gazing into the void, "Actually, if we're talking about who in the Azure Sword Sect should least treat Yang Xuan this way, it's you."

Do you know you were saved by Yang Xuan? When the Chu clan was exterminated, the Gu Clan selected you to become a Gu host, but Yang Xuan rescued you. Yet I never expected that in the end the Gu Clan would still find you and give you a Seven Revolutions Karma Poison Insect.

The voice fell!

The scene fell into deadly silence.

What?

Chu Youwei stared, dumbfounded.

Was it the Eldest Senior Brother who saved me?

But Master, you never said so before.

She was utterly stunned.

She had never known that Yang Xuan had saved her.

Buzz!

Her mind went blank, leaving only tears of regret in her thoughts.

Eldest Senior Brother, I'm sorry!

I was wrong…

Eldest Senior Brother, I know you'll still give me a chance—come out quickly.

Hua Jieyu snorted coldly and continued speaking.

It would be best if Yang Xuan forgave us, but if he doesn't, aside from Elder Qin Gu, we still have one last hope.

Chu Youwei asked, "What is it?"

Hua Jieyu pointed at Chu Youwei's body and said, "Gu Clan! You were chosen by the Gu Clan; although you're just a pawn, you have value. You may not know how terrifying the Gu Clan is—they come from the Upper Realm."
