Chapter 202 Reward? Your life!
Yunxiao Sect, Yunxiao Palace.
Xie Wanning, standing behind Song Huai'an, saw Ling Moqing, the leader of the Yunxiao Sect, on the high platform and pouted in dissatisfaction. She still remembered the first time she met Ling Moqing, she got beaten up. She had only come to find Si Jinchuan but ended up getting a beating; it was truly a case of getting what she wanted.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanning secretly glared at Ling Moqing, but she didn't expect to be seen.
Xie Wanning hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at Ling Moqing again.
As the sect leader, Ling Moqing naturally didn't care about these things. After explaining some precautions, he opened the secret realm.
Disciples from various sects filed in.
Xie Wanning's gaze fell on Si Jinchuan. She was now very wary of Si Jinchuan, fearing that he might harm her.
Enter the secret realm.
Under Song Huai'an's guidance, the disciples of Qingyun Sect killed spirit beasts and picked spirit plants. The disciples were all used to acting under Song Huai'an's leadership, so the exploration of the secret realm went very smoothly.
Watching Song Huai'an lead everyone at the front of the group, Xie Wanning felt unusually relaxed.
But, isn't this too much comfort?
Just as Xie Wan Ning was thinking, she felt someone slap her hard on the back, and the next moment, the scene in front of her changed.
She was teleported using a teleportation spell!
Surrounded by a chilling wind in the forest, Xie Wanning drew her Luoze sword, ready to fight any enemies that might appear.
Thinking of Shen Cheng's words yesterday, she had a general idea in mind. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Senior Brother Si, there's no need to play tricks. If you're so capable, come out."
Si Jinchuan didn't hide anything; he appeared directly in front of Xie Wanning.
Xie Wanning held the Luo Ze sword to Si Jinchuan's neck and said fiercely, "Si Jinchuan, what is your purpose? Or perhaps it would be more accurate to call you Mo Xuan."
"Oh? Since Junior Sister Xie already knows my identity, why haven't you made your move yet?" Si Jinchuan's tone was tinged with amusement, but his eyes were unusually cold.
Xie Wanning didn't waste any words and directly increased the pressure on her hands. Suddenly, Si Jinchuan in front of her disappeared, leaving only a gust of wind behind.
Xie Wanning gritted her teeth; she knew Si Jinchuan was not someone to be trifled with.
“Actually, Junior Sister Xie doesn’t need to hate me so much. We clearly had times when we got along well.” Si Jinchuan appeared behind Xie Wanning and snatched her sword away in an instant.
"Give it back!" Xie Wanning reached out to take it, but was surrounded by a wall of wind.
“You know you can’t beat me.” Si Jinchuan chuckled and said, “I’ve come here with important matters to discuss. If Junior Sister Xie doesn’t behave herself, I’m not sure my blade won’t be pointed at you.”
Xie Wanning stomped her feet in anger, but could only sit cross-legged and prepare to listen to what Si Jinchuan had to say.
"Junior Sister Xie, why do you hate me so much?" Si Jinchuan asked, frowning slightly.
"That's because you deliberately made sure we met in the first place," Xie Wanning replied without hesitation.
"Then why should I approach you? You were just a small-time rogue cultivator back then. What purpose would I have in approaching you?" Si Jinchuan asked with a smile. He walked along the wind wall with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Xie Wanning, as if asking a question, but more like interrogating her.
"That's because..." Xie Wanning subconsciously tried to explain, but the words got stuck in her throat.
How did she go from calling Si Jinchuan "Brother Si" to hating him so much?
Perhaps it's because Si Jinchuan and Ye Qianqian have a good relationship, and she doesn't like to associate with people related to Ye Qianqian, but that wouldn't be the reason she hates Si Jinchuan.
Xie Wanning naturally couldn't recall that she had gotten angry because she learned that Si Jinchuan had memories of his past life, and she couldn't remember that she and Si Jinchuan had a close connection in their past life, even being sworn brothers. She hated Si Jinchuan because he had harmed her in her past life, not because of the little things in this life.
A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, but her mind was filled with memories of what had happened during the sect competition.
“I loathe you because your inner demons want to kill me. Your inner demons are the embodiment of your desires, which means you also want to kill me. I can’t possibly be nice to someone who wants to kill me.” Xie Wanning looked at Si Jinchuan with resentment, her back straight, determined not to yield.
But Si Jinchuan chuckled lightly for no apparent reason and asked, "Junior Sister Xie, I am the Pavilion Master of the Black Shadow Pavilion. Back in the secret realm, my inner demon tried to kill you. Do you think you had any chance of surviving?"
Si Jinchuan's scarlet eyes flashed with cruelty and indifference, like a wolf king under the moonlight, possessing absolute intimidation.
Xie Wanning seemed not to see Si Jinchuan at all; she stared blankly ahead.
Because she realized that what Si Jinchuan said made sense, how did she survive back then? She didn't remember how she escaped from her inner demons, and what happened afterward was even more vague to her.
Xie Wanning was saved by Xie Wanxun, whose existence had long been erased, so Xie Wanning naturally couldn't remember the cause and effect of the matter.
Si Jinchuan didn't stop. After pondering for a while, he muttered to himself, "I heard that the Four Divine Beasts were contracted a year ago. Was that person the Demon Emperor? No, if the Demon Emperor contracted the Four Divine Beasts, why didn't she summon them at the beginning of the war between humans and demons? That way, she could have reduced the demons' losses."
Si Jinchuan walked up to Xie Wanning, lowered his head and asked, "Then, Senior Sister of Qingyun Sect, do you know who the contract partners of the Four Divine Beasts are?"
Xie Wanning naturally knew this, after all, she was the master of the four divine beasts.
But when did she form a contract with the four divine beasts? Why is she completely unaware of it?
A sudden chill seeped into her body, and she shivered involuntarily. It seemed that during the year she was in a coma, many things had happened that she was unaware of, and those things were intricately connected to her.
Xie Wanning's eyes revealed confusion, but Si Jinchuan stopped there and said with a smile, "It seems that Junior Sister Xie has some doubts."
"Si Jinchuan, do you know something?" Xie Wanning knew immediately from Si Jinchuan's teasing gaze that he was hiding something. Moreover, as the leader of the Shadow Pavilion, Si Jinchuan had all sorts of intelligence at his fingertips, let alone anything concerning the Four Divine Beasts.
“I do know.” Si Jinchuan’s smile faded, and his tone became more serious. “However, Junior Sister Xie, do you really think the Shadow Pavilion would provide information for free? Everything comes with a reward.”
"What do you need? Spirit stones or elixirs?" Xie Wanning looked at Si Jinchuan, her tone somewhat urgent. She wanted to know exactly what memories she had lost. Her intuition told her that she had lost something very important.
Si Jinchuan's hand rested on the scabbard, a murderous glint in his eyes.
"Your life."
Xie Wanning was startled and unconsciously took a step back, a series of thoughts flashing through her mind.
Si Jinchuan's inner demons want to kill her. The Black Shadow Pavilion assassinated her a year ago, and Shen Cheng warned her yesterday: Be careful of Si Jinchuan.
The Si Jinchuan standing before her was not the friendly older brother she had just met, but the cruel and ruthless leader of the Shadow Pavilion, Mo Xuan.
The moonlight shone on the blade, and the sound of the sharp blade falling, along with the sound of the wind wall dissipating, was as dull as a death knell.
Blood stained the leaves red, but the person behind the tree stepped forward.
"Well done, Si Jinchuan."
