Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 304 You Are Not Him
Mo Wuji watched Cen Shuyin attentively. In just half an incense stick's time, Mo Wuji could clearly feel a trace of vitality on Cen Shuyin's body.
An hour passed, and Mo Wuji could also detect Cen Shuyin's heartbeat.
Although Mo Wuji didn't know if Cen Shuyin's Yuan Qi Lake had started to repair, he knew that Cen Shuyin's little life had been saved.
A day passed, and Cen Shuyin's breathing gradually became smooth. She seemed to be secretly adjusting her state. However, Mo Wuji sighed inwardly, he didn't feel Cen Shuyin absorbing spiritual energy, indicating that Cen Shuyin had only recovered her vitality and couldn't absorb spiritual energy for cultivation.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Mo." Cen Shuyin opened her eyes, her tone extremely weak.
Mo Wuji quickly said, "Senior Sister Cen, I just woke you up, I didn't actually save you. In fact, it might have been better if I hadn't woken you up."
Cen Shuyin understood what Mo Wuji meant. If she couldn't absorb spiritual energy for cultivation after waking up, it would be basically the same as not waking up.
She didn't answer Mo Wuji's words, but just looked up blankly at the outside of Crazy Wind Roar's cave, and didn't even ask Mo Wuji why he was here. It seemed that everything had become unimportant to her.
Mo Wuji didn't know how to persuade Cen Shuyin, so he could only choose to remain silent.
A full incense stick's time passed before Cen Shuyin slowly turned her head to look at Mo Wuji and asked weakly, "Junior Brother Mo, you came from the Lost Continent, have you heard of the rogue cultivator 2705? Is he doing well?"
Mo Wuji quickly said, "I know, he is very well, actually..."
"Do you know? Dean Feng promised me to him, although he didn't acknowledge it, I no longer plan to find a second Dao companion. When I was stimulating all my potential and lifespan to kill that Crazy Wind Roar, I just wanted to see him..." Cen Shuyin's voice was like it came from the horizon, as if talking to herself, or explaining to Mo Wuji.
"..." Mo Wuji never thought that Cen Shuyin would say this. Seeing Cen Shuyin's sad tone, still immersed in those memories, Mo Wuji quickly said, "Since he didn't acknowledge it, then it doesn't count for anything, you don't need to take it to heart at all."
Cen Shuyin shook her head slightly, "You don't understand, only if I am his Dao companion, can my heart be slightly at ease. I implicated him. In the moment before I died, I really wanted to tell him that I am not a bad woman, I really didn't mean to implicate him..."
Mo Wuji took a breath and said seriously, "Senior Sister Cen, listen to me, I am actually rogue cultivator 2705. I know that rogue cultivator 2705 is being targeted by the Xia family of Star Emperor Mountain, it's not your fault, I don't blame you at all. It's just that your injuries cannot be recovered, and your cultivation is..."
Cen Shuyin's expression didn't change at all. She was still looking at the outside of the cave, speaking softly, "You are Mo Wuji, you are not him. I'm sorry, Junior Brother Mo, I can only have one Dao companion in this life..."
Mo Wuji was already smart, and after many experiences, his emotional intelligence was even higher. Cen Shuyin repeatedly emphasized that she only had rogue cultivator 2705 as a Dao companion, and he completely understood.
Cen Shuyin already knew that he should be rogue cultivator 2705, but she didn't want a Dao companion, or she had a mental obsession. It was also possible that she was worried that he came to save her because he had taken a fancy to her, so she quickly found a reason that wasn't a reason to refuse.
Fortunately, Mo Wuji didn't care. He admired Cen Shuyin. The reason he came to save her was not because he had taken a fancy to her, but to repay her life-saving grace, nothing more.
Otherwise, he might have sympathized with Cen Shuyin, but he would never have come to Thistle Wind Gate. Mo Wuji had his own principles in everything he did, not what others wanted him to do.
No matter what Cen Shuyin thought, he didn't care. So Mo Wuji didn't ask Cen Shuyin how she knew he was rogue cultivator 2705, it was better not to discuss this topic.
In fact, regarding women, apart from Yan'er, who had always resided in his heart, he was indifferent to other women, even if they were as beautiful as Cen Shuyin.
Yan'er from the past? Thinking of this, Mo Wuji suddenly felt like he could understand Cen Shuyin's feelings. If Yan'er, who had lost her memories of him, encountered such danger, he, Mo Wuji, would still risk his life to save her. But would he really be able to treat the current Yan'er with the same feelings he had for the previous Yan'er?
Perhaps what Cen Shuyin could never forget in her mind was the rogue cultivator 2705 who was holding her before she died.
Mo Wuji shook his head inwardly. Just as he was about to change the subject, Cen Shuyin suddenly said, "Sister Su Ting said that she had never seen a rogue cultivator in the Meridian Opening Realm dare to participate in the Five Elements Pill Competition, and even use the method of stir-frying pills with bare hands, and actually obtain a spot to enter the Five Elements Wasteland. She had also never seen a rogue cultivator in the Meridian Opening Realm dare to search for Boundless Soul Forging Crystals alone in the Five Elements Wasteland, and actually succeed. Even if this rogue cultivator never said anything, she could guess how much hardship this rogue cultivator had experienced, and even guess how many times this rogue cultivator had brushed shoulders with death..."
"Sister Su Ting?" Mo Wuji knew that Cen Shuyin was talking about him, but he really didn't know who Sister Su Ting was. Zhen Shaoke was relatively clear about the things he had experienced. Oh, that Linglong was also relatively clear.
After talking for a while, Cen Shuyin's complexion seemed to be better, and her spirit and energy had greatly changed from the original confusion, "Sister Su Ting is Bei Suting, the Dean of Asking Heaven Academy, we came to Zhen Mo Continent together. On the flying ship, Sister Su Ting insisted that a few of us call her Senior Sister, and no longer call her Dean.
Sister Su Ting knew these things because she obtained part of the Boundless Soul Continuation Flower from Granny Linglong and repaired her divine soul. If Granny Linglong hadn't said that your path was one you had to walk yourself, and told her not to disturb you, Sister Su Ting would have looked for you long ago. Later, Granny Linglong disappeared, and when Sister Su Ting wanted to find you, she could no longer find you."
After a pause, Cen Shuyin continued, "Perhaps no one thought that everything you did was just for a maid who used to be by your side. Perhaps Sister Su Ting still doesn't know that in the Thunder Mist Forest, you once again used your own life to block a disaster for Yan'er. Throughout the entire True Star, I'm afraid you can't find a second person like you. Using your own life to exchange for the life of a servant girl. Yan'er is very happy, you are a sentimental person, I believe Yan'er will eventually understand what you have done for her."
Cen Shuyin's voice weakened, and she lowered her head at the same time.
She didn't know why she was saying these things, because she also knew that Mo Wuji entered the Thistle Wind Gate, also using his life to gamble. Looking at him, not even having complete clothes on his body, and with wind whip marks on his back, she could guess that the hardships Mo Wuji had suffered here were definitely no weaker than hers. It could even be said that she was alive, and Mo Wuji had also exchanged his life for it.
Perhaps she said so much just to keep herself from thinking about these things. But she couldn't forget it, because in some ways she and Mo Wuji were the same kind of person, and they simply couldn't forget other people's kindness. Not to mention the kindness of saving her life?
"Senior Sister Cen, after you stimulated your potential, is there any way to recover? At least to be able to cultivate?" Mo Wuji actively changed the subject, he didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore.
Whether Cen Shuyin's words were to remind him not to forget Yan'er, or to remind herself of something, Mo Wuji didn't want to continue this topic. He didn't even bother to ask if Linglong wanted the Boundless Soul Continuation Flower for Bei Suting.
Cen Shuyin pulled the clothes covering her body tighter, and her gaze gradually returned to its usual appearance.
"If it weren't for your Boundless Soul Continuation Flower, I would never have been able to wake up again, or even recover forever. Now my divine soul is gradually complete, and as long as I have two more months, I can restore my Yuan Qi Lake and fully recover." Cen Shuyin forcibly suppressed her gratitude in her heart. She couldn't have a Dao companion, and at the same time she believed that one day Yan'er would remember Mo Wuji's kindness.
Mo Wuji was overjoyed and quickly said, "I was just planning to cultivate here for a few months, by the way, this ring is for you, I'll take out the things inside..."
After saying that, Mo Wuji took out a ring and handed it to Cen Shuyin. Then piles of things fell on the open space in front of Cen Shuyin.
Spirit stones, pills, spiritual artifacts, clothes...
Cen Shuyin looked at the ring Mo Wuji handed her in surprise, and so many things in front of her, she really couldn't figure out how Mo Wuji could just take out a storage ring.
Before she could speak, Mo Wuji had already walked to the other side and began to cultivate.
Cen Shuyin stared blankly at the piles of things in front of her, and her heart suddenly trembled. If one day she couldn't repay what she owed Mo Wuji, what would she do?
After a long time, she slowly took out the exquisite flying car from a pile of things.
The words she had said to Mo Wuji were still in her ears, "If one day you want to sell this flying car, please sell it back to me."
Now this flying car had been returned to her by Mo Wuji, he hadn't sold it, nor had he sold it to her, but had given it to her.
The spiritual energy suddenly flowed like a vortex. Cen Shuyin raised her head and was shocked to find that Mo Wuji's speed of cultivating and absorbing spiritual energy was several times stronger than hers.
She had to know that she was in the True Lake Realm...
The only explanation was that Mo Wuji had also stepped into the True Lake Realm.
At this moment, she finally understood why Mo Wuji could come to True Star Continent.
If such spiritual root aptitude as Mo Wuji's was considered poor, then in the entire True Star, there were no cultivators with excellent spiritual roots, and she, Cen Shuyin, couldn't be considered excellent either.
Even in such a cultivation paradise as True Mo Continent, even if her spiritual root aptitude was extremely excellent, if she didn't work hard, after a while, she could only look up at Mo Wuji's back.
