Chapter 206 – Master, do you choose to die or to perish? (47)
Bored and uninterested, Yun Ze looked at Gu Sicun with cold eyes.
Although this lifetime is different, Gu Sicun has always been his Senior Brother in the past, lingering around Yan Luo, intentionally or unintentionally pushing him away.
Back then, he didn’t understand why Yan Luo would take him as his disciple with his mediocre aptitude. So he could only work harder and harder, hoping that Yan Luo could treat him as gently as she treated Gu Sicun and say a word of praise, ‘Well done…’
But no matter how hard he tried, even when Yan Luo was guiding him, Gusicun would still intervene.
Beneath the appearance of a noble flower, it was not that simple.
But there was no way. What could he do? He was weak back then.
So now, it’s the same.
The envy and jealousy you once had, do you feel it now? In the end, aren’t you experiencing the same ugly and unbearable emotions as him? What right did you have in the past to mock him with those words?
Ridiculous.
But at that time, he finally understood his own significance and also stepped into the prelude of this cycle of death.
No wonder, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how much he wanted to please Yan Luo, his previous awkward, self-deprecating and speechless appearance, gloomy and without the adulation Gu Sicun showed, how could he really win that person’s favor?
So now it’s different, completely… different.
Seeing Yun Ze’s expression unchanged, turning around to leave, Gu Sicun spoke again, “Master has treated you like that, do you really never feel any regret?”
After all, Yun Ze has disrespected his Master and Ancestors.
Yun Ze paused in his steps, looking at Gu Sicun with interest from the side, somewhat curious to know what Gu Sicun was trying to say.
“Master originally never took disciples. If not for you…” G Ssicun struggled to stand up.
For him? Wasn’t it because of his spiritual root? Yun Ze smirked, a hint of self-mockery in his eyes.
The kindness towards him was fake, the concern for him was fake, it was all fake.
After all, all his previous expectations had ended in the most painful lessons.
Once, twice, and again.
So unwilling, and also afraid… to believe again.
“I unintentionally heard the Sect Master say that your water spiritual root has issues, easily seen as a cauldron or even a stepping stone by others. And if not properly controlled, you will cause a disaster. That’s why Master brought you back.”
“After practicing for several years, Master disappeared for a while. It was only because you said you wanted to learn lightning techniques that you ventured into perilous places, bringing back spiritual herbs and techniques.”
Seeing a slight change in Yun Ze’s expression, Gu Sicun suddenly spilled everything he knew like a cascade of beans, “Master was lightly injured at the time but fortuitously found a breakthrough method due to misfortune, discovering a way to advance. I heard the Sect Leader say that Master had been stagnant in cultivation for too long and was beginning to be controlled by inner demons.”
—Even in such a dangerous situation, she went to that perilous place for you, giving you the Zhengxuan Sword when she came out of seclusion.
He admitted that he concealed everything, using Yan Luo’s guilt to continuously tie her to him, jealous and unwilling but also happy to see Yan Luo misunderstand that Yun Ze might not like her arrangements.
Again and again, after all, who wouldn’t want to get the complete attention of their admired one?
