At this moment, Bai Xianhua’s mind was filled with Ming Yuan Xianzi’s words. He glared fiercely at Gu Qianying, twirling his fingers to recall the Hei Yu Jian back into his hand.
The sword was pointed directly at Gu Qianying’s chest.
He wanted to kill this troublesome woman.
Although Nangong Mo’s heart ached for his elder brother, he would never allow him to harm his woman so recklessly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ming Yuan Xianzi’s voice.
“You cannot do this. Enough people have sacrificed themselves today. You cannot kill anymore. I believe they were momentarily blinded by selfish desires and will not trouble us again. Hua Lang, put down your sword, let us leave.”
Although her words successfully persuaded Bai Xianhua, the selfish ones somehow turned out to be Nangong Mo and Gu Qianying and the others.
The more Du Chun listened, the more he felt something was amiss. After all their efforts, they had become the villains?
Gu Qianying certainly would not allow this woman to slander her and her friends like this.
She did not retract her Chi Xue Dao but instead met Bai Xianhua’s gaze with determination.
“I think you’ve been asleep for a thousand years and have become muddled. But it’s alright, I will tell you what this woman has done.”
A thousand years ago, there was indeed an unclear triangular relationship between the two of them and the Bai clan elders. However, after Ming Yuan Xianzi chose Bai Yue Tian, this relationship had become very clear.
Bai Xianhua was not simply out of the running in love; he had been betrayed in everything. His feelings, his family’s business, and even the hiding of his Dan Tian were all inextricably linked to this woman.
“What nonsense are you spouting? I know nothing of what happened after Hua Lang. How can you say it’s related to me?”
Ming Yuan Xianzi, who had been acting perfectly, finally showed a hint of agitation at this moment, but she remained shameless.
The others remained silent, and Gu Qianying continued.
“Actually, you knew long ago that Bai Yue Tian was not a good person. But because he was determined to become the clan leader of the Bai clan, while Bai Xianhua possessed immense ability but only cared about romantic affairs, you chose the ambitious one.”
Gu Qianying’s words utterly shocked everyone.
In the minds of everyone except the three involved, Ming Yuan Xianzi was the one who was tormented by love and only concerned with romantic matters. How had it now become Bai Xianhua?
“For your own selfish desires, to fake your death, and to help Bai Yue Tian ascend to that position, you even sacrificed your only brother who doted on you, the ancestor of the Bai couple. If not for the female members of the Bai clan returning to their maternal home in the Immortal Realm early, there might not be the Bai clan’s Yu generation today.”
At these words, the Bai couple and Bai Yu Lan were all startled.
They knew that their generation might have some connection to the seniors from a thousand years ago, but they were unaware of the relationship with Ming Yuan Xianzi. They were only looked after by clan elders, believing it was merely due to the good deeds of their ancestors.
Hearing this, Ming Yuan Xianzi’s expression finally changed. Her fingernails in her sleeve dug tightly into her palm. If she hadn’t constantly told Bai Yue Tian to take good care of her brother’s lineage, how would they have received such treatment?
She had wronged her brother, but it was all for the greater good.
However, these were ultimately Ming Yuan Xianzi’s secrets. She had done things that wronged her clan and Bai Xianhua, but she could not let them know of her decisions.
“You are not an ancestor of the Bai clan. Do you think you can slander me with a few made-up words and everyone will believe you?”
Ming Yuan Xianzi naturally would not admit it.
Indeed, Gu Qianying was an outsider. Entering the territory of the Sheng Yu family amidst the chaos was already an transgression.
Now, to even fabricate stories to slander their Xian Gu, the clan members of other surnames in the Sheng Yu clan also came forward to accuse her.
“Who is this crazy woman? Get out of here. It is an immense honor that our Xian Gu was able to survive and return. Are you trying to stir trouble now because you cannot bear to see our Sheng Yu clan prosper?”
“Yes, what a shameless person. Look, she was originally allied with that madman. If not for Xian Gu coming out to subdue that lunatic, wouldn’t our Sheng Yu clan have been wiped out by these outsiders?”
The words of those who did not understand the truth were always heartbreaking.
“I think she is also jealous of our Xianzi’s beauty. After all, Ming Yuan Xianzi is a peerless beauty in this world. She relies on her own looks and becomes jealous. Truly a hideous display.”
If she were accused of having ill intentions, it might be understandable, as so many people had died here. But had these people’s brains been kicked by a donkey? Where did they get the confidence to say she was jealous of this woman?
Countless peerless beauties existed throughout time. These frogs in a well truly believed Ming Yuan was an unparalleled beauty. But Gu Qianying could not tolerate such useless, sour comparisons.
She frowned, wanting to retort to those people, but at this moment, her head began to ache faintly.
Seeing Gu Qianying’s discomfort, Nangong Mo hurriedly inquired.
“Are you injured anywhere? Why does your face look so unwell?”
As the two were unaware of what was happening to their bodies, a wisp of green smoke slowly rose from Gu Qianying.
“What is happening?”
“Yes, she is not an immortal. Why is there smoke appearing?”
The onlookers all turned their attention, and the smoke dissipated extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, a woman in graceful green attire stood beside Gu Qianying.
Her eyebrows and eyes were serene, as if she could see through all worldly matters.
This transcendent and refined aura compelled everyone to involuntarily bow.
Gu Qianying gently turned her head. Xuan Ling Nu from her sea of consciousness had actually emerged.
Looking at the woman standing beside her, Ming Yuan Xian Nu’s eyes were filled with panic and unease.
“You, how are you alive? How can this be?”
Her voice was somewhat disorganized, and she gradually retreated. She could not believe how the person she had personally pushed into the Hua Xian Pool back then could be standing here.
It turned out that the events of that year had a hidden truth.
Xuan Ling Nu walked step by step towards Ming Yuan Xianzi, and she revealed the entire story of that year.
“Ming Yuan, have you truly lived these thousand years with peace of mind? Whenever you pass by Xian Le Yao Tai, do you ever think of the innocent person you pushed down?”
The reason why it was spread that Ming Yuan Xianzi had pushed someone into the Hua Xian Pool was that someone had witnessed the scene firsthand. Therefore, for a thousand years, no one had known the truth.
When the heavens and earth were painted with the colors of red clouds, the Ming family in the Immortal Realm had given birth to a pair of twin daughters.
At birth, the two looked exactly alike, both possessing celestial beauty.
The wife who spoke of the calamity brought by beautiful women had only seen Ming Yuan, and thus made such a prophecy.
The Ming family immortals, long fearing that this prophecy would come true, had hidden Xuan Ling Nu, who was still the younger sister, at that time.
