Chapter 1172: Mutual Exploitation

"As expected, what you are after is these things." Liu Lianxin smiled, and she said indifferently: "Then I thank you; thank you for being able to tell me this."

"Not bad. On the trip to the Cloud Void Realm, having you there can help me achieve great things. It's just that, before going to the Cloud Void Realm, you had better behave yourself and not play any clever tricks."

Liu Lianxin remained silent. She sat down slowly, closed her eyes, and chanted scriptures softly.

Jingxi smiled slightly. She turned and sat on the other side, also beginning to close her eyes and chant. She had killed too many people today; she needed to perform rites for the dead.

"Killing someone once, and then performing rites for them once—what is the point of you doing this?" Liu Lianxin sighed slightly. She opened her eyes and looked: "Do you think the Buddha will forgive you this way?"

"He will not forgive me, because my hands are covered in blood." Jingxi said indifferently: "And I don't do this to be forgiven by the Buddha, but because doing this makes me feel a little more at peace."

"What a 'peace of mind'." Liu Lianxin smiled, her smile somewhat bitter.

The master who once held compassion as her guiding principle now kills and chants, seeking only peace of mind. In this world, I fear there is nothing more sorrowful than this.

At that moment, she also slowly closed her eyes and stopped speaking. The master and disciple sat facing each other like this, silent and wordless.

After leaving Liu Lianxin, Chen Yu felt somewhat heavy in his heart; it was as if a large stone were pressing down on his inner self.

He knew clearly that for Liu Lianxin to make this decision, she had also steeled her resolve.

Liu Lianxin had a pitiful background; in this world, she viewed her master, Jingxi Jushi, as her only kin.

But now, her only kin had fallen into the path of the Demon, yet she had to kill the other party with her own hands. Her heart must be struggling greatly.

"Do you like her?" Just at this moment, Sanwei came over from somewhere.

"No, don't talk nonsense." Chen Yu was startled, feeling as if his thoughts had been pierced through.

He also didn't understand why he had such a feeling; it was just that after meeting Liu Lianxin this time, his emotions toward her had changed a lot.

"Don't be in such a rush to deny it. Denying it just means you have a guilty conscience, hee hee." Sanwei looked at Chen Yu and smiled.

"Little girl, what do you know?" Chen Yu was somewhat speechless.

"Little? Heh, I am over three hundred years old. Do you think I'm little?" Sanwei looked at Chen Yu sideways: "I am much older than you."

This sentence left Chen Yu truly speechless. Indeed, this girl looked young and was also naive about the world, but in fact, she had already lived for over three hundred years.

It was just that her spiritual wisdom had not fully opened, and at her age, she was considered quite young in the Heavenly Fox Clan; the Fox Clan only reaches adulthood at five tails and above, and she only had three.

"You aren't little, but your intelligence is lacking." Chen Yu shook his head slightly and said: "So you still don't understand. You shouldn't ask about these things; asking is of no benefit."

"Hey, then when are you going to the Cloud Void Realm?" Sanwei chased after Chen Yu and asked.

"I don't know, in these next few days, I suppose. Why, do you have some ideas?" Chen Yu asked, looking sideways.

"I want to go with you." Sanwei grabbed Chen Yu's arm and shook it.

"No." Chen Yu directly rejected her request.

"Why not?" Sanwei looked up at Chen Yu with a puzzled expression. Her request wasn't very excessive, so why did Chen Yu want to refuse?

"Going in there isn't for play; it's to risk one's life." Chen Yu stared at her and said: "Do you think I would bring a dead weight along?"

"I'll warn you: I am not a dead weight. If I go in, I will be useful to you." Sanwei said somewhat angrily.

"What use are you to me?" Chen Yu couldn't help but find it somewhat funny seeing her angry appearance.

"I don't know, but you'll know once we go. I don't care; my mom said that after I meet a fated person, I should stick to him to the death." Sanwei said, pouting.

"Follow me to eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom too?" Chen Yu said helplessly: "You haven't been out before; there are some things she couldn't have anticipated."

"I don't care, I'm following you anyway." Sanwei hugged Chen Yu's arm and shook it: "Just agree to me, otherwise I'll keep pestering you."

"You..." Chen Yu was caught between laughter and tears.

This girl was small, but the parts that should be big were not small at all. She rubbed against him until he had no temper left, so he could only say helplessly: "Let's go back first and talk about it, and work out a plan."

Only then did Sanwei smile and follow Chen Yu back.

"You met Liu Lianxin?" After returning and hearing Chen Yu's words, Ning Ruoxue looked incredulous.

"Yes, it's just that she is currently restrained by Jingxi, so she has no way to break free." Chen Yu sighed slightly and said: "This time in the Cloud Void Realm is likely the only chance to kill Jingxi."

"After she broke with the Liu Clan, the Liu Clan's fortune seems to have been exhausted. These days it has been sliding repeatedly, and soon they will be kicked out of the ranks of the wealthy families." Ning Ruoxue said: "Leaving the Liu Family, she must also be very sad and disappointed."

"Yes, and all these years, she has always viewed her master, the nun Jingxi, as kin, but she never imagined that her master would actually turn into this." Chen Yu said.

"Then what do you plan to do?" Ning Ruoxue raised her head and asked.

"Let's follow in and see first. The Cloud Void Realm is no ordinary place; it is the place where the ancient Ghost Clan is sealed. I don't know how many dangers are still inside." Chen Yu said.

"And more importantly, this time the Ghost Clan seal has appeared in the world, and all kinds of demons and monsters will come out to get a piece of the action. There will definitely be many people. You should return to Jing first; I'm afraid I can't look after you here."

"I'm not going back. Liu Xian and I will wander around." Ning Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Chen Yu; she wasn't leaving now.

"Fine, but no matter what, you must be careful." Chen Yu was helpless: "The Cloud Void Realm is in Shuxi; that place is sparsely populated. Don't go over there casually."

"Alright, I know. By the way, do you know who I saw today?" Ning Ruoxue seemed to have just remembered something.

"Who?" Chen Yu saw her serious expression, and his heart couldn't help but jump.

"Your ex-wife." Ning Ruoxue said seriously.

"Ye Xinyu? She is here?" Chen Yu's expression changed slightly: "That's impossible. How could she be here?"

"I couldn't have seen wrong. I originally wanted to go up and greet her, but I thought that she didn't seem to recognize me, so I didn't disturb her." Ning Ruoxue said: "She was alone at a scenic spot in Shu, seeming somewhat aimless."

"Which scenic spot?" Chen Yu stood up with a start.

"Da Shi Peng in the western suburbs. It's not certain we can find her now." Ning Ruoxue saw Chen Yu like this, sighed, and said: "I'm sorry, I should have called you right then."
