She shakes her head. How did she enter such a place?
Releasing her Divine Sense, though she can't perceive anything, she can see the jumping light spots, feel the gentle breeze, as well as a warmth that puts people at ease.
Although she got there too abruptly, Su Tingyun is not afraid. The firefly-like light spots are very gentle, she could feel the goodwill from them. She subconsciously moves forward. After just a few steps, she sees a man sitting under a tree.
This tree looks similar to the Kunlun divine tree outside, but much smaller in comparison, just as tall as a man. The weeping branches are thin and pliable. Like willow rustled by the spring breeze, they sway gently, every now and then brushing over the man sitting underneath.
The crimson clothes he’s wearing are no longer as warm and jade-like. There is a sharp edge to his countenance. Just like that gorgeous red, there’s now a bit of wile and wildness.
He is Su Lijiang.
Most people in the world of cultivation are good-looking, every one of them is pretty to the point that it breaks Su Tingyun’s heart. However, Su Lijiang is still the best of them all. No wonder countless female cultivators break their heads fighting over him— one falls, the next follows.
By sitting there, the spots of light pale in comparison.
The voice that spoke in her mind earlier was Su Lijiang talking. Now, it finally clicks and Su Tingyun remembers that it’s his voice.
Su Lijiang sits there without opening his mouth, and Su Tingyun feels some trepidation. In this realm of cultivation, the last person she wants to face is probably this body’s ex-husband.
She transmigrated here and suffered many hardships, she had struggled from the bottom. But she also gained a lot, and met trusted friends. In comparison, Su Lijiang was much more miserable.
He was rescued by Wei Yun, but was raped by her. Then he was rescued by Gu Fengyang, but it turns out that Gu Fengyang wanted to take over his body. Finally, he was forced to enter the Luminous Moon Sect, and even into the bridal chamber with Ruan Qingshuang after worshipping heaven and earth. At that time, his mentality was probably similar to when Wei Yun forced him in the past. How aggrieved he was.
Other people said that he fell to his demons, and Su Tingyun could somewhat believe it at the time. But now, he must have saved himself again, right? Otherwise, she’s afraid it will be difficult for her to escape from the Demon. Thinking of this, Su Tingyun summons up the courage to say, "Thank you very much."
Su Lijiang slightly raises his eyes to look at her, meeting her cautious gaze. He looks past her, at the twinkling lights at her back. After a moment, he says, "Fortune follows surviving a great disaster. You too have entered Foundation Establishment."
His voice is not as clear as before, now carrying a hint of indifference and ridicule. He’s talking about Wei Yun and himself.
"Gu Fengyang is dead." Su Tingyun suddenly says, "Scattered ashes and dispersed smoke. I saw it with my own eyes."
Su Lijiang’s brows twitch a bit, then he enunciates, "Death cannot wipe out the sins."
Even death would not make up for Gu Fengyang’s crimes.
Having experienced so many things, Su Tingyun hesitates for a moment and stiffly makes her way to Su Lijiang’s side. But after doing so, she regrets it. She slowly takes two steps back to keep a distance, then she focuses her attention. She readies herself to cover her own body with Big Bai’s skin at any moment.
Because she wants to tell Su Lijiang that she is not the real Wei Yun.
"Su Lijiang." Su Tingyun takes a deep breath and says, "I'm sorry, I'm not the real Wei Yun. But I didn’t forcefully possess her. When I woke up in this body, Wei Yun had already passed away."
"She died of old age." Su Tingyun blurts out, her heart beating so violently that it’s about to jump out of her throat.
