Chapter 408: On the Eve of 224_2
Her words dissipated in the wind like the cool dew of morning, involuntarily causing him to recall that night when the chickens were slaughtered for their eggs.
Tian Liuli’s words seemed to say that, since you can regenerate limbs, if it doesn’t work next time, just create another limb.
Xu Yuan felt a chill run through him.
Although he could regenerate limbs, it didn’t mean there was no pain.
The worm that Mo Xianxian had left inside his body had to be removed after the Saint Heir selection ceremony.
“Doudou.”
...
There was a knock on the door again.
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows. Who was it this time?
This time, he didn’t open the door but asked instead, “Who is it?”
“I am Mr. Mo’s Protector, Wen Ying.”
“Mo Xianxian’s Protector?”
Xu Yuan pondered slightly.
Did Mo Xianxian want something from him?
He glanced back at the room, saw no sign of disturbance, stepped forward, and opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, a slender figure clad in black, wrapped tightly from head to toe, appeared before him.
“Did Mo Xianxian send you to find me? Is there something wrong?”
Xu Yuan asked the woman in front of him, whose aura and face were very well concealed.
“No, I have come to see you, not at the Young Master’s behest.”
Wen Ying slowly surveyed the young man from under her cloak.
Honestly, he was indeed very handsome.
But she didn’t think Mo Xianxian would like him for that reason.
However, she probably couldn’t find out the reason anymore.
From here on, Mo Xianxian would ultimately have to walk her path alone.
“I came to talk to you about something of my own accord.”
She said expressionlessly, looking behind him.
Xu Yuan frowned slightly. If it wasn’t Mo Xianxian who sent her, what was she doing here?
“Let’s talk right here.”
Xu Yuan showed no intention of letting her in.
At this time, it was better to be cautious.
Seeing that he had no intention of letting her in, Wen Ying’s impression of him worsened.
But this time, she was just here to clarify some things.
“Do you know how great a price the Young Master paid to take the blame for that matter on your behalf?”
“The price for that matter?”
Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised but quickly understood what she meant.
“Are you talking about the matter where I killed one of your Demon Sect’s Saint Heirs? I remember, his name was Yun Ze, right?”
But because of today’s actions, all was lost overnight.
“But have you ever thought that, in her eyes, this isn’t a big deal at all, but a trivial matter unworthy of mention?”
Xu Yuan shook his head.
Only people like Wen Ying, who had ceased advancing in their cultivation at the level of Primordial Spirit, would find these resources and power very important.
But to Mo Xianxian, now unrivaled as a Primordial Spirit, what difference does having or not having these things make?
She is now undisputedly the foremost among the Three that have Returned to Void within the Demon Sect.
If she wishes, if she truly desires, wouldn’t those people give it to her?
The very reason she retained her title as Candidate Saintess was this.
As long as the title remains, she just needs an excuse to restore what she lost.
“...A trivial matter unworthy of mention?”
Wen Ying’s breathing suddenly became rapid. She gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing red as she glared at him.
‘What’s wrong with her?’
Understanding dawning on him suddenly, Xu Yuan might have figured out why she had such a strong reaction.
She just mentioned that Mo Xianxian, apart from the title of Candidate Saintess, had lost all other privileges, and that included her position as a Protector.
‘So that’s why she’s so infuriated?’
Pity, he never had the habit of lying to women when it was unnecessary.
After a long while, she finally exhaled slowly and glanced at him dimly.
“Anyway, I hope you will treat the Young Master better, in this coming selection, aside from you, .”
Her voice was low as she left these words and departed.
Wen Ying’s original intention was to see him regretful and heavyhearted when he realized how much the Young Master had done for him, and yet he was still with another woman, but unexpectedly, the one on stage playing the fool turned out to be herself.
She thought that the bond between her and Mo Xianxian could allow her to consider herself a good friend since she had even shared that kind of secret, but now it seemed, in her heart... was she just a trivial matter after all?
“You seem to care a lot?”
A misty, cool voice rose behind him. Xu Yuan turned around only to see Tian Liuli silently standing there, watching him.
“No.”
His expression remained calm.
“If you care, why don’t you go and see her?”
Her voice carried no trace of joy or anger, but its indifference was palpable and didn’t feel like a test or the opposite.
“No need.”
Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting Tian Liuli to say something like that.
But he shook his head.
After all, he had just returned from seeing Mo Xianxian, and there was no rush.
Moreover, they would naturally meet once the selection began in a few days.
Five days later, the awaited selection that attracted the attention of the Three Domains finally arrived.
