Chapter 433 Don't make a single wrong step, don't regret a single step.
Do you think Lin Buyu can defy the clan's decision?
Amidst the fierce winds and clouds, the inner demon looked at Xue Lan beside him and spoke.
Xue Lan's voice was indifferent:
"I don't know, and I don't want to guess the result."
The inner demon was somewhat surprised by Xue Lan's negative attitude, and spoke again upon hearing this:
"This isn't like you."
"The affairs of the demon clans in the upper realm are inherently complex. Isn't it normal for clans to both protect and suppress each other?"
Xue Lan stood still in the strong wind, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
The inner demon remained silent, only smiling at Xue Lan.
Xue Lan is right. The relationship between the demon races and human families in the upper realm is far less harmonious than that between the sects in the lower realm.
The continuation of bloodlines and the transmission of secret techniques are many things that disciples cannot decide on their own.
For example, the demon Lin Buyu, and the human Wu Jin.
Xue Lan's encouragement and advice to Lin Buyu were simply to keep the flame of rebellion in the young man's heart from being extinguished.
Because someone always has to do these unconventional things.
Thinking of this, the inner demon decided to give Lord Wolf a chance to change the subject, so the woman spoke softly:
"There are no problems with Lin Buyu's side. She doesn't need to win. As long as she has this awakening and thought, her obsession has been eliminated."
"But what is Lei Chuxi's obsession?"
The inner demon's tone carried a hint of curiosity as Xue Lan descended the steps:
"The future young city lord of Leipeng City, the most outstanding and beloved junior of Leiyun City. He is also the top-ranked cultivator on Leipeng City's annual training list, and the second-best prodigy of the Feather Clan after Zhu Lingzhi."
The woman's voice was full of laughter:
"She's practically a version of Xu Qizhou from the upper realm; her troubles are probably similar to Xu Qizhou's."
The inner demon looked at Xue Lan curiously:
How did you arrive at this conclusion?
"Look at the big picture to understand the small details. Just look at Thundercloud City and you'll know."
The inner demon was somewhat speechless:
"All just guesses?"
Xue Lan tilted her head to look at her:
"Before seeing the person, we can only guess."
The woman tidied her slightly disheveled hair and began to speak:
"I'm thinking about something else right now, rather than Lei Chuxi's matter."
"whats the matter?"
Xue Lan's grayish-white eyes were lifeless, and a strange smile curled at the corner of her lips, like a puppet come to life:
"The matter of the Pearl-Carrying Gathering."
The inner demon waved its hand:
"Can't you put the matter of the Vast Dragon Domain on hold until you advance to the Demon Lord level?"
Xue Lan shook her head: "No."
"Once the barrier between the upper and lower realms is broken, there will be constant disputes and conflicts. I can't be the only one holding things together, can I?"
indeed.
The inner demon thought that once the upper and lower realms were merged into one, the forces within would no longer be able to face each other directly.
The demon race is alright; their relationship has always been good due to their blood ties. What they fear is the power of the human race.
"If the upper realm families bully the lower realm sects and mortals, I alone won't be able to handle it." Xue Lan waved her hand.
The inner demon covered its own eyes:
"Since you've decided to act recklessly, don't overthink it!"
Xue Lan shook her head:
"Setting a precedent for all ages and having far-reaching plans are not contradictory!"
"But this is just too unbelievable," the inner demon couldn't help but say again.
Xue Lan stared intently at the inner demon with her greyish-white eyes, enunciating each word clearly:
“At the beginning of the demon invasion of the Yuanming Realm, no one believed that the Heavenly Dao would sacrifice itself to drive out the demons.”
"Before the Azure Willow of Heaven, no one believed that a demon could be linked to reincarnation and remain standing for ten thousand years..."
The woman smiled brightly:
"Before me, no one would have believed that the barrier between the two realms had shattered, and that the Yuanming Realm had once again merged into one. Forging realms into artifacts, reshaping heaven and earth!"
Xue Lan looked at her inner demon:
"Even I don't believe it!"
The inner demon was stunned.
Xue Lan's last words seemed to be spoken to her, yet also to herself.
Xue Lan was perhaps also confused, her inner demons swirling in her mind.
Xue Lan glanced at her inner demon one last time, then turned and continued on her way:
"The road ahead is long, but there is no turning back for me."
She had no way to turn back, Xue Lan thought.
The Yuanming Realm is gradually collapsing, and both the Wan Gong Fang, which she governs, and the unseen power behind it all are trying their best in their own ways.
There's no going back; the only thing to do is keep moving forward, one step at a time.
Don't make a single wrong step, and don't regret a single one.
"Where do we go next?" the inner demon asked.
"Go find Lei Chuxi and end the trial in this secret realm as soon as possible."
"Xiaotong's situation is probably about the same."
Within the Heavenly Forging Hammer Illusion.
On the official road in the mountains, a group of people were slowly moving forward. In the middle of the group was an exquisite and gorgeous carriage. Snow-white pearls hung from the curtains, and the top of the carriage was painted with delicate and intricate floral patterns. Various colored lines intertwined, making it clear that it was extraordinary.
Xue Tong wore her long hair in a ponytail, a moon-white round-necked robe, and a delicate short knife was attached to the belt inlaid with lustrous white jade.
The girl bent down and lifted the carriage curtain to peek inside:
"Has Fifth Sister woken up?"
Yu Shu, whose hair was somewhat disheveled, finally couldn't hold back upon hearing this:
"Yu Tong, you've taken the princess out of the capital without permission!"
Xue Tong leaped directly from the horse's back to the front of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and went inside:
"What's wrong, Princess Lingrou? Are you really going to listen to His Majesty and obediently get married?"
Two days ago, Emperor Linde issued an imperial edict to both Xue Tong and Yu Shu.
Yu Shu was bestowed the title of Princess Lingrou and betrothed to the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue. The marriage took place three days later.
Xue Tong was bestowed the title of Princess Changning, and the journey began a day later, while several officials who had previously retired to their hometowns were recalled.
Yu Shu looked at the girl sitting in front of her and felt that this person was somewhat scary.
In fact, on the very day the imperial edict was issued, the palace sent people to fetch Yu Shu back to the palace, but Xue Tong turned them away.
That evening, Xue Tong knocked on Yu Shu's door and asked her:
Fifth sister, are you running away from your wedding?
Yu Shu refused with a wry smile.
Putting aside the possibility that Xue Tong might not be an ordinary person, even if she were, she would still be Emperor Linde's favorite princess.
They are innocent and carefree, and can be entrusted with important tasks.
Instead of being like myself.
A single thought that reveals deep thoughts can lead to being forced to kneel, being suspected, and being casually betrothed.
"I already rejected you! You're deceiving the emperor!"
Yu Shu picked up a soft pillow and tried to hit Xue Tong, but the girl easily blocked it.
The girl's smile was radiant:
"Fifth sister, I told you, don't accept a predetermined ending."
In Xue Tong's view, the woman in the carriage seemed to have been crying alone for a long time, her eyes were bloodshot, and the hairpins on her head were scattered.
His thin shoulders trembled, like a restless moth.
"Don't be afraid. If Father blames me, it will all be my fault."
"Just consider it my jealousy of my sister's good marriage that led me to take you away from the capital."
"You don't understand anything..."
"I know!"
Yu Shu was interrupted by Xue Tong, who looked into her eyes:
"You're not scheming, you're not the one who corrupted me."
