NFBE Chapter 492 How can a person always be so awkward?
Chapter 492 How can a person always be so awkward?
After seeing the sorrowful Yan Chengxue out of the weapon-refining cave, Xue Lan turned around and met Xue Tong's shocked gaze.
Its brilliance is like the sharpness of a blade, impossible to ignore.
The woman straightened her sleeves and spoke obediently:
"what happened?"
Xue Tong looked the woman up and down, from her long, black hair to her greyish-white eyes, and finally spoke softly:
"Are you going to reveal your plan to break down the barrier during the sect leader's meeting?"
The girl looked at Xue Lan, who nodded with his sleeves tucked in, looking like an adorable, clumsy rabbit...
What rabbit!
Even if it's a rabbit, it's a black-hearted rabbit!
Xue Tong slapped his forehead and spoke again:
"Couldn't you have just spoken to Dao Xuanzi quietly?"
"In front of so many people... how can you even live your life?"
Xue Lan sat in the spot where Yan Chengxue had just been, completely unmoved by reason:
"I have been expelled from the Xuanhuang Sect!"
"Yes, yes, her sect doesn't want her anymore!" The inner demon seized the opportunity to come out and watch the show:
"This life was already unbearable."
"Shut up!" Xue Tong said coldly.
The inner demon made a gesture to seal its mouth and obediently stood behind Xue Lan.
Xue Tong glared at the inner demon, then looked at Xue Lan seriously again:
"You're getting stuck on something again!"
Xue Lan spoke frankly, her expression sincere:
“I didn’t get stuck on the details this time; that’s just an excuse for my impulsive actions.”
Xue Tong felt like she was about to burst into flames.
Instead of making excuses for yourself here, you should think of a foolproof plan...
"Xiaotong!"
Xue Lan called the girl's name, her voice calm and cold like a mountain spring:
"There is no perfect solution, so this is the only way I can do it."
"I'm naturally the kind of person who enjoys pushing others into desperate situations." Xue Lan's voice gradually softened.
"Some of them are inherently vicious and enjoy watching their prey scream in agony without being able to escape."
"Another part is... not very good at confronting people; too much talk always makes people anxious."
So he hit the nail on the head, cornering the person against the wall.
Looking at the woman's expression, Xue Tong inexplicably softened.
The girl deliberately softened her voice:
"Xue Lan!"
How can someone keep avoiding answering?
How can a person live such an awkward life forever?
Xue Lan lowered her eyes and began to argue:
"Isn't this how I lived my previous life?"
Xue Tong squatted down and looked at Xue Lan:
Were you happy in your past life?
Xue Lan fell silent.
Xue Tong sighed helplessly.
"I know you're definitely going to tell your senior uncle about breaking the barrier, since there will inevitably be conflict between the upper and lower realms in the future, and it's good to let the people of the lower realm prepare."
"But Xue Lan!"
"This matter concerns the life and death of both realms, and it is not something that you, Lord Wolf, can decide with a single word."
"Cold and harsh coercion and notifications will eventually chill people's hearts."
"If you could handle it by yourself, wouldn't you have done it secretly by now?"
The girl gave a self-deprecating laugh, then conjured a futon and sat down on the ground.
"Actually, you're much better now than when I first linked to you."
"If it were you in the past, you wouldn't have reflected on whether you were too autocratic and domineering."
"It's just..."
"I know, I will obey, but I will not do as you say."
"Pfft!"
Laughter reached her ears, and Xue Tong lazily looked up at Xue Lan.
Xue Lan's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she seemed to have shed her bad mood.
Was it really like that before?
"You don't believe me?" Xue Tong raised her hand and began to review her system recordings.
"I have the footage here, I can show it to you."
"No, wait a minute!"
Xue Lan was shocked and quickly raised her hand to stop Xue Tong's actions.
"You're still recording this?"
Why are you recording this?
Xue Tong revealed a sly smile and spoke in a sinister tone:
"Because I want to be absolutely certain."
"So that one day I can quickly and ruthlessly corner you against the wall!"
Xue Lan's lips twitched slightly.
Was she really this annoying before?
Xue Lan: My hands are so itchy, what should I do?
"I can help you!"
The voice of the inner demon reached her ears, and a white-haired woman peeked out from behind Xue Lan:
"Free of charge, call for free!"
Xue Lan thought to herself that the idea of being of one mind with someone was truly a disaster.
The woman waved her hand at her inner demons:
"You hit me and my hand still itches, go play somewhere else."
Xue Lan stood up from the small stool as she spoke:
I will reflect on what you just said.
"Xue Tong!"
The woman smiled and said:
"Let's go back to Jiyuan Peak to see the moon."
Xue Tong paused for a moment, then understood what Xue Lan meant.
On the eve of the previous Ascension Ceremony, the two of them were also watching the moon in the courtyard of Jiyuan Peak.
"Let's go, Lord Wolf." The girl smiled brightly and took the lead towards the entrance of the weapon-refining cave.
The stone door opened, and soft moonlight flowed across the ground outside.
Xue Lan followed, stepping out of the cave and seeing the jade disc in the sky.
Everything is the same as it was many years ago, like a cycle.
But some things are slowly changing.
The next morning, Xu Qinghe went to Jiyuan Peak to find Xue Lan. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Xue Lan and another person eating noodles at a stone table.
The owner of Wan Gong Workshop, dressed in black with noodles in his mouth, had red beads hanging from his earlobes that complemented the patterns on his clothes.
It resembles the eyes of a ferocious beast.
"The seniors from the various sects will be arriving soon. You'd better go and get to know them beforehand," Xu Qinghe said, walking up to Xue Lan and looking at the red bead on Xue Lan's earlobe.
"Are the things still there?"
“You’re always facing crises outside, I thought you’d been ruined long ago.”
After finishing the last bite of noodles, Xue Lan wiped her mouth and said with a grin:
"How can that be? This was a gift from Sister Xu, the number one female immortal of my Xuanhuang Sect."
"How about it?"
Xue Lan stood up and spun around in front of Xu Qinghe.
Xue Tong, who was standing to the side, put down his bowl and acted as the straight man:
"How was it? Did it have the domineering and majestic aura of a sect leader?"
“Look at the beads on her ears, I was the one who strongly suggested she wear them.”
"The finishing touch, isn't it?"
Xu Qinghe looked at Xue Lan, a woman dressed in black with dark red patterns resembling dragons, and a red bead on her ear echoing the outfit, which indeed made her look much more dignified.
It's an expression.
The woman gently raised her hand and patted Xue Lan's head:
"Don't laugh like that, be more dignified and composed."
Xue Lan immediately suppressed her smile:
"Okay, okay, after all, I am the head of the workshop."
Xue Tong, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but start laughing.
"You should be more composed!" Xu Qinghe looked at Xue Tong, successfully making Xue Tong retract her bared teeth.
Urged by Xu Qinghe, the two finished their meal and immediately headed towards the front of the mountain.
Xue Tong was in charge of guiding the disciples and elders of the various sects to their seats, while Xue Lan went directly to Dao Xuanzi.
The Xuanling Peak Square was bustling with activity, but Dao Xuanzi's cave was unusually quiet.
An elderly man dressed in a silver robe was waiting for Xue Lan under the crabapple tree at the entrance of the cave, with Kong Mingzi, who had just returned to the sect that day, standing beside him.
The man in the green robe looked at Xue Lan:
"She looks quite good; my daughter is growing up."
"I'm so relieved."
Kong Mingzi smiled outwardly, but secretly sent a telepathic message to Xue Lan:
"Be good today and don't cause any trouble."
"My senior master brought a lot of medicine."
Xue Lan: What a wonderful senior master!

Two chapters. My intermittent writing motivation has run out. Let's see if I'll have the motivation to finish later (facepalm).
