Everyone was startled.
"Why are you here?"
Duan Xifeng, Ouyang Qinglin, Gu Yefeng, and Gu Qianyin all stood up.
The person who arrived was none other than Du Chun, with his white hair.
After entering, Du Chun deliberately closed the inn door.
He walked over and sat down in front of Gu Qianyin.
At this moment, Gu Qianyin, Duan Xifeng, and Gu Yefeng had not yet sat down.
Du Chun ignored the others and picked up the wine pot, pouring himself wine and starting to eat the delicious pastries.
Seeing Du Chun eating pastries, Gu Qianyin, Gu Yefeng, and Duan Xifeng all sat down.
The three of them looked at Du Chun.
Suddenly, Duan Xifeng snatched the pastry from Du Chun's hand.
"Stop eating, tell us what's going on?"
They knew Du Chun's personality very well.
Nangong Mo had appeared, and by rights, Du Chun would not have left Nangong Mo.
Yet, he appeared here at this moment.
Something must have happened that they didn't know about.
And Du Chun's words, "Her words can be believed," the meaning of which was understood by everyone present.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't eaten anything at Brother Song's place, and I'm starving. If you want to know anything, you have to let me eat something first."
Du Chun snatched the pastry back from Duan Xifeng's hand.
If they didn't tell them the truth, how could they let Du Chun eat?
So,
Duan Xifeng directly took away the plate of pastries on the table.
Du Chun: "..."
Gu Qianyin and Gu Yefeng, the brother and sister, watched without stopping Duan Xifeng.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you."
Du Chun couldn't resist Duan Xifeng, so he gave up.
"Ah Mo's master is Tian Huang Zun. Ah Mo is the person with the most righteous spiritual roots among his master's many disciples. Tian Huang Zun painstakingly cultivated Ah Mo into the Lotus Emperor of the Immortal Realm. A thousand years ago, Ah Mo's brother, although he used his own power to create convenience for Ah Mo, even so, with Ah Mo's alone strength, he could not secure the position of the Lotus Emperor of the Immortal Realm."
"And over the past thousand years, Tian Huang Zun has been protecting Ah Mo from behind."
As he said this, Du Chun suddenly turned his gaze to Gu Qianyin.
"Qianying, I know you blame Ah Mo for not telling you the truth, and for hiding many things from you, but actually... some things, Ah Mo doesn't know. Ah Mo's master, Tian Huang Zun, and your master, Old Man Bai, who is now Saint Lord Bai, his master are fellow disciples."
"They came from the same sect, so they naturally know what kind of people they have taken as disciples."
"Qianying, and your master, Saint Lord Bai, is a hypocritical, cunning, and deceitful villain. The reason you met him in your previous life was entirely his scheme. His 'test subjects' all ended in failure, and you are the most perfect creation among his test subjects."
"He advocates cultivating demonic power, and thus made you the Demon Empress. In his plan, you needed to kill everyone around you in this world. He wanted to make you a ruthless and cold-blooded puppet."
"Qianying, Ah Mo's master knows all of this. He is not a bad person. Qianying, the reason Ah Mo lied to you is simply because he truly didn't know some things, including... your blood relation with your brother. Qianying, no matter who you are or who your brother is, Ah Mo will not dislike you."
"Qianying, I also know that you left like this because you were afraid of being disliked by Ah Mo, and more because you felt you were not worthy of Ah Mo. Qianying, you don't need to think like this. On the contrary, Ah Mo is a man of great ambition. As long as you behave yourself and be the woman behind him, it's enough."
"Disperse the demonic power within you and become an ordinary person, a woman behind Ah Mo, that is also very happy, isn't it?"
"Oh, and Qianying, you don't know, after you left, Ah Mo was very sad and very pained. He has been missing you, but he has been confined by his master and not allowed out."
"He really wants to come out and see you, but he can't. Qianying, as Ah Mo's woman, you should understand him. You cannot be his stumbling block, nor can you be his burden."
"Qianying, did I say too much? Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Gu Qianyin smiled, but the smile on her face was very cold: "I understand. What you mean is, I should obediently obey, and I should not mind his deception towards me. You also want me to... no matter right or wrong, listen to him carefully, regard him as heaven, and no matter what he says, I can only say yes, and cannot refute."
"You also tell me that if I want to be the woman behind Nangong Mo, I cannot become his burden, nor his stumbling block. In other words... if I accidentally become his stumbling block, or his burden, I should commit suicide to atone, so as not to become his future burden."
"Then I want to ask, what about my son?"
Before the cold smile on Gu Qianyin's face had faded,
She heard Du Chun continue: "The son is innocent. The blood of Ah Mo flows in him. With Ah Mo's current status and ability, he can fully protect his son."
"You mean, leave the son and abandon the mother?"
The smile on Gu Qianyin's face grew even colder.
Gu Yefeng and Duan Xifeng, who were listening to Du Chun's words from the side,
Both looked at Du Chun with unusual eyes.
Neither of them spoke.
But where Du Chun couldn't see, Gu Yefeng and Duan Xifeng exchanged glances.
Perhaps sensing that what he said was a bit excessive,
Du Chun changed his tune: "Qianying, it's not like that. You can still have a good life with Ah Mo, but... people who cultivate demonic power, even if the demonic power in their bodies is gone, they can no longer cultivate spiritual power."
"They can no longer be immortals in the Immortal Realm, like cripples. Moreover, in the years you were the Demon Empress, you have killed too much. You cannot return to the Immortal Realm with Ah Mo. Of course... Ah Mo can let you stay in the mortal world and let you be an ordinary person."
"But... you also know Ah Mo's personality. He will defy his master for you, return to the mortal world for you, and even stop his reincarnation and tribulation for you."
"Qianying, if this is the case, it will ruin Ah Mo. He should have been the King of the Immortal Realm. For your selfish desires, you made him give up so much for you. Qianying, how can you bear it?"
Hearing this, Gu Qianyin smiled again: "All in all, what you mean is, as long as I don't live in this world, it will be the best for him, right?"
"Qianying, this understanding is not wrong, but don't misunderstand me. I'm not forcing you. I just think Ah Mo should not be influenced by anyone. His future is bright. As long as he completes this reincarnation and tribulation, he can return to the Immortal Realm and continue to be the Lotus Emperor. Only in this way can the Six Realms be at peace."
"Oh, I see. It seems that young master Du knows a lot. I wonder who told young master Du these principles, or are they your own thoughts?"
With that, Gu Qianyin slowly stood up...
