Mortal's journey to immortality

Chapter 1286 Abandoned Son

One cannot show his happiness on his face. Seeing that Zhou Xue had barely suppressed her inner demons, he changed the subject and said, "It's all God's will. Senior, I can't predict the future, let alone foretell the future."

"I was originally heading to the South China Sea, but the Yunxia fleet had not yet been assembled, so I couldn't just sit there and wait. Due to some reasons when I first arrived in Zhongzhou, I happened to go to the Baixian Inn."

"This inn really didn't disappoint me. It's elegant, antique, and unique. Hey, I'm not bragging. As soon as I entered, the atmosphere inside seemed to be lively and ordinary, but it was a little treacherous. With a simple trick, I knew that the nine super forces headed by the Chen family had already set up a copper wall and iron wall just to capture you in one fell swoop. At that time, I felt it in my heart. Before I could even sit down and drink four cups of their spiritual tea with a top-grade spiritual stone, I thought that even if it wasn't you sisters, I could get your whereabouts from the mouth of the rescued person. I did it as soon as I said it, in a hurry, and really pulled you out of the tiger's mouth without any danger, leaving them with only a mess."

"Haha, even if they dig deep into the ground and poke through the sky, they will still find nothing in the end. It's exciting to think about it."

Wang Lu said this with a smile, and Zhou Xue also smiled, radiant with beauty.

She couldn't help but wonder: "Senior, you don't know that I have been extremely cautious over the years. Wherever I go, no matter the process or the place I hide, I will use up everything I have, almost to the point of walking on thin ice. Who would have thought that they would find me again and again? What is going on? I am puzzled."

Wang Lu's eyes were smiling. Zhou Xue knew at a glance that he had seen through the problem. She said softly, "Please give me some advice, otherwise I will be restless."

"It is very good to learn from the past," Wang Lu nodded. "As the saying goes, we should reflect on ourselves three times a day. We should look inside ourselves for everything. We should not blame others or external things for our failures or mistakes. We should look for the problems in ourselves first. Only then can we win every battle and stand invincible."

He continued: "In my opinion, it should have been revealed at the beginning, not at any other time."

Hearing this, Zhou Xue's eyes lit up, her face darkened, and she suddenly realized something, like a wake-up call.

She sighed, "What the senior meant was that because of our sect's mountain protection formation and the Twin Flower Formation, I became one of their most important pursuers, and became a popular commodity that everyone wanted. However, because the Tianfu Sect was destroyed too suddenly, and I only wanted to survive, I failed to completely erase my own aura when I escaped, so they targeted me and hunted me for more than two hundred years."

Wang Lu nodded and said, "Yes, that's what it means. One wrong move can lead to a complete loss. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dam collapses because of an ant hole. No matter what time it is, even if danger is imminent, we must not leave any clues to our opponents."

"Senior is very attentive and can see the big picture from the small details. I am grateful for your advice."

Zhou Xue said with heartfelt respect.

The advice Wang Lu gave her was based on his life and death experiences gained from so many years of wandering in the world of immortal cultivation.

It may seem plain and unremarkable when he spoke it softly and gently, but it is a life-saving remedy and extremely precious.

However, Wang Lu’s next question made her feel so terrified that her hair stood on end.

Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and said seriously, "So you still don't realize the true meaning of 'every failure makes you wiser'. Think about it carefully. What other key points have you overlooked?"

"The key point, the key point, the key point..."

Zhou Xue's eyes were full of confusion and a trace of fear seemed to be rapidly rising from the depths of her heart. She muttered to herself.

After dozens of breaths, a terrible feeling was about to cover her entire body.

She only felt an inexplicable chill filling the entire room for no reason. The temperature dropped suddenly, like the early morning in late autumn when frost froze everything. She couldn't help but clench her teeth and her whole body trembled unconsciously.

"Ugh."

Wang Lu waved his hand, and the cold was instantly driven away like sunshine. Zhou Xue, who was about to go crazy, raised her sad eyes.

"Perhaps you have also thought of it. Yes, people's hearts are as cold as iron and as poisonous as snakes and scorpions. I heard that some people from Tianfu Sect escaped in advance for unknown reasons and have not been found yet. There is no news. It seems that the host has already thought of this. Before leaving, he wiped out all traces of everyone. This is a strong person who thinks carefully and acts steadily."

"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Who wants to die? No one. I believe your sister is among them. I know the answer from your expression. That person knew you would break through, so why didn't he tell you this trivial but life-threatening matter, or even remind you intentionally or unintentionally? Because he knew that only by letting other people attract the attention of the sects and forces headed by the Chen family, they would have a greater chance of survival. This would also distract the attention and manpower of those forces, which would be beneficial to their escape."

"You are nothing more than a useful pawn in his eyes. How can you become a qualified chess piece if I remind you?"

"I know you don't want to believe it and have been avoiding or hiding from the ironclad fact until now, right?"

Before he finished speaking, he said, “Well…”

Zhou Xue's tears flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Wang Lu felt a little reluctant, but in order to completely cut off the unrealistic idea in her mind, he still said it cruelly.

He said: "Are you thinking that your sister should not know that there is such a flaw that is very easy to ignore, otherwise she would have secretly passed it on to you with the secret magical power of your twin eyes, right? However, what I want to tell you is that at that time when everyone was frightened and uneasy, even if one person was not wiped out completely, it is very likely that everyone would be annihilated. Therefore, with Zhou Mu's joining, even if the host helped her deal with it quietly, others would solemnly remind and warn her. It seems that Zhou Mu knew about this matter before leaving, but for her own safety, she had to sacrifice you, her own sister. Humph, in the eyes of many people, their own lives are the most important. Of course, there are also a small number of people who would rather die than do things that harm others and benefit themselves, such as you, Zhou Xue in front of you."

"No, no, no, my sister is not that kind of person, she is not that kind of person...Senior, you, you, please stop talking!"

Zhou Xue cried heartbreakingly and retorted at the top of her lungs.

Wang Lu, on the other hand, had eyes as cold as ice and was extremely indifferent. He was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and he said ruthlessly: "Why do you think the host would take Zhou Mu in when he knew that the cause and effect of you two sisters were so serious?"

"Humph, what a great way to kill two birds with one stone!"

"First, since you are exposed, the cause and effect basically stays on you. As long as he operates carefully, the probability of accidents is negligible. Second, he has seen the magic of the Twins Formation. The Tianfu Sect no longer exists. Even if he can't create the Twins Formation, with one of the Twins Eyes, if he wants to preserve the flame of the Tianfu Sect, everything needs to be rebuilt. Zhou Mu can play a big role in it. This is the real reason why he didn't kill you and left Zhou Mu."

"Woooooooooooo..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Zhou Xue looked like a madman, with blood mixed with tears gushing out of her eyes.
