"Taking my place?"
"Donāt want to be stepped on by me?"
"Become the most dazzling one?"
The man in white was suddenly shaken, his body stiffened on the spot.
He obviously had never thought of these things, perhaps unwilling to think about them.
"No, impossible." The man in white shook his head dazedly and said, "Ruo Shui is not like that, absolutely not, you donāt understand Ruo Shui at all!"
Gu Chenfeng shook his head and said, "You think you know her well, but in fact, you donāt understand her at all. What you see is only her surface."
"Youāre talking nonsense!" The man in white shouted angrily and excitedly, "Ruo Shui loves me very much; she was just deceived by that damn bastard."
"Stop deceiving yourself." Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "Saying those words, I fear even you donāt believe them, right? If she loved you very much, why would she ruin you?"
"I..." The man in white was speechless.
Gu Chenfeng continued to smile and said, "You chose to leave back then because you loved her too much, you couldnāt bear to kill her, but you didnāt know, she couldnāt wait to trample you underfoot, even to kill you."
Hearing this, the face of the man in white changed drastically, his eyes widened to the extreme.
"After all these years, you havenāt let go, and whatās the result?" Gu Chenfeng smiled again, "The result is you die, living in pain all these years, she takes your place and wonāt feel the slightest guilt or sadness because of your death."
Boom!
The face of the man in white was shaken again, his mind even boomed, and his illusory body trembled constantly.
Looking at the man in white, Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "Calm down and think carefully."
After speaking, Gu Chenfeng turned and walked towards the grand hall to āvisitā the Ancient Palace.
Time passed by second by second.
About the time it takes to burn an incense stick was almost up.
In two spaces, Yang KeāEr was the first to take action.
Yang KeāEr wielded the Kingās Sword and shot forward, slashing the man beside the woman with one blow.
The instant the man was slashed, the illusion and space vanished, and Yang KeāEr returned to the palace square.
Gu Chenfeng happened to walk over at this time.
Looking at the man in white, Yang KeāEr cupped her fists and asked, "Senior, did I pass the assessment?"
Hearing Yang KeāErās voice, the man in white was suddenly awakened, only then realizing he was immersed in pain.
"Senior, are you okay?" Yang KeāEr asked, obviously noticing something wrong with the man in whiteās expression.
The man in white shook his head slightly, then said, "Tell me the reason."
Yang KeāEr thought for a while, then answered, "Senior, if it were me, no matter how much I hate her, even if she doesnāt love me, as long as I still love her, I couldnāt bring myself to do it, yet I couldnāt bear to watch my beloved be with someone else."
"Why?" The man in white asked again.
Yang KeāEr replied, "If I donāt kill him, I think I could never be happy in this life, I might live in endless pain, itās not worth it for someone who betrayed me."
The man in white frowned and murmured, "Is it not worth it for someone who betrayed you?"
The man in white fell into deep thought.
"Does Ruo Shui love me?" The man in white asked himself in his heart.
"If Ruo Shui loved me, she wouldnāt betray me." The man in white thought silently, "Sheās right, itās not worth it for someone who doesnāt love me and betrayed me."
Just then.
Nalan Ziye also appeared on the square.
"Senior." Nalan Ziye cupped her fists at the man in white.
The man in white asked puzzled, "Why didnāt you choose?"
Nalan Ziye bit her lip and answered, "This is my choice."
"Tell me the reason." The man in white looked at Nalan Ziye.
Nalan Ziye was silent for a while, then answered, "The person I love, no matter the reason, I would never kill her."
The man in white frowned and asked, "Then why didnāt you kill that man?"
Nalan Ziye replied, "Senior, I only know that truly loving someone means not letting her be sad. If they truly love each other, let her live happily."
"Live happily." The man in white thought silently, "Wasnāt that why I chose to leave back then? Didnāt I want my beloved to live happily, but what about me."
Nalan Ziye added, "Senior, if itās meant to be, it will be, if not, donāt force it."
"If itās meant to be, it will be, if not, donāt force it, if itās meant to be, it will be, if not, donāt force it." The man in white murmured, repeating as a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing the smile on the man in whiteās face, Gu Chenfeng knew the man in white figured it out.
"If itās meant to be, it will be, if not, donāt force it." The man in white laughed loudly, "Haha! Thatās right! Whatās mine will always be mine, whatās not mine I will not seek, I donāt need it."
"Suffering a lifetime of pain for someone who betrayed me is not worth it!"
The knot that had tortured him for years finally loosened.
A brand new realization emerged in his mind, a feeling of enlightenment and sudden understanding.
With the knot untangled, the man in white seemed reborn, beaming with joy.
Looking at the two, the man in white happily said, "Congratulations on passing my assessment and obtaining my inheritance."
"Great! Thank you, Senior!" The two women were overjoyed and hurriedly cupped their fists to thank him.
Gu Chenfeng reminded from the side, "Sister Nalan, Sister Yang, shouldnāt you change what you call him?"
The two women immediately realized and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master!"
"Haha!" The man in white laughed with joy, "Sit down well, I will now impart my lifelong learning to you."
"Yes, Master!" The two women respectfully replied and obediently sat cross-legged.
The man in white laughed happily, "For calling me Master, I will use the remaining Primordial Spirit Power to help you break through the Realm!"
As he spoke, the man in white gathered formidable power with both hands, then simultaneously struck, two beams of energy, one blue and one green, entered Nalan Ziye and Yang KeāErās bodies.
The terrifying power surged into the two women, and their auras rapidly increased.
In just over ten seconds, the two women broke through the Realm simultaneously.
The man in white then clasped his hands together, and two arrays of blue and green light appeared above the womenās heads.
The man in white consumed his Primordial Spirit Power like crazy, his body nearing transparency, his Primordial Spirit clearly about to dissipate.
The man in white was transmitting the inheritance while looking at Gu Chenfeng and asked, "Kid, tell me, how do you know about Ruo Shui?"
Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "Because the same thing happened to me, but I have already let it go."
The man in white was stunned at first, then nodded, mocking himself, "Iām not even as good as these two disciples."
Gu Chenfeng suddenly asked, "Do you still want to see her?"
