Chapter 138 Dispute
Thinking about what happened today, she was actually a little scared. She was afraid that what she was facing now would be the late Mu Yunzhong who arrived early, because that would mean that what he wanted had been resolutely abandoned...
This thought made her heart tremble. She suddenly looked at Mu Yunzhong and was about to persuade Lin Shuyu and the other three to stop, but Mu Yunzhong took the lead.
"Stop..." He seemed to say to them in one breath, "Otherwise, your spiritual power will be sucked dry!"
Hearing this, Lin Shuyu and the other three looked at each other in shock. It's not that they didn't notice the abnormality in their bodies, but if they withdrew their spiritual power, Mu Yun would definitely be in great danger.
"Junior Brother Mu!" Lin Shuyu gritted his teeth and insisted, "Don't be distracted. We know what's going on. As long as you can run the San Yuan Jue independently, our efforts will not be in vain."
"Yes! It's just a loss of spiritual power, which is nothing to us!" Mo Shaoyang said firmly.
Mu Yun finally remained silent, looking at the four people with flickering eyes, as if he was stunned by what was happening before his eyes.
At this moment, a bead emitting red light was faintly visible in his heart, and it absorbed not only the brutal demonic power but also the gentle golden elixir power.
Lin Shuyu, who was closest to it, seemed to have seen the bead as well. Curiosity flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to take a closer look, Jiang Tingwan stood up.
"Mu Yunzhong, forget about those messy things, don't be distracted, do you remember what I told you? The true method of practicing Sanyuan Jue is not to be truly ruthless and desireless, but to be extremely affectionate and kind, to help the world, not to be happy with things or sad with oneself, not to be resentful because of love and hate, then you will not suffer because of hatred and resentment. When everything of yesterday is like the flowing water, the next day will be bright and brilliant."
When she said this, her expression was indifferent and her voice was cold, as if she was doing a final experiment, and her tone was full of seriousness and solemnity.
Mu Yun was startled and looked up at the woman standing beside the bed, her figure frail but tall.
Jiang Tingwan stood quietly, and in the moment when she looked into his eyes, many images flashed through her mind.
Mu Yun finally pursed his lips and looked at Lin Shuyu and the other three who were almost unable to hold on. Although his mind was a mess, he knew clearly that if he continued to think like this, the four of them would be sucked dry by the Dustless Pearl.
He could only close his eyes and try his best to concentrate all his energy to practice the San Yuan Jue mental formula in his body.
Gradually, his whole body began to glow with fluorescence, and a water-blue light slowly overflowed from his body. A cool air emanated from his dantian. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his hair danced, making him look like an immortal.
Lin Shuyu and the other three withdrew their spiritual energy with a relaxed look on their faces, and retreated several steps limply. They were already exhausted and their faces were pale.
Jiang Tingwan supported the weakest one and said, "You have worked hard."
Lin Shuyu looked at Mu Yunzhong on the bed, his eyes swept over the wound on his arm, "Uncle Master, Junior Brother Mu can only rely on himself from now on."
Jiang Tingwan glanced at the remaining three and said, "I thank you on behalf of Yun Zhong. You have wasted a lot of spiritual energy. Go down and rest. I will watch over here."
Lin Shuyu stood up straight, and took the three of them to bow to Jiang Tingwan and take their leave. Now they also needed time and place to recuperate.
Seeing Lin Shuyu and the other three retreat, Wen Bumian, who had been staring at Jiang Tingwan, stood up and waited for her to turn around.
"You know almost nothing about the techniques in this world, but you know a lot about the Three Yuan Technique?"
Jiang Tingwan's heart tightened and he subconsciously glanced at Mu Yunzhong on the bed, worried that he had heard their conversation.
Wen Bu Mian said, "Don't worry, he has already entered the territory and can't hear us talking."
Jiang Tingwan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little guilty. She had concealed the identity of the original author from Wen Bumian for so long, so there was really no need to tell him now.
She tried to remain calm, smiled slightly, and replied casually: "The book once described a fragment of Mu Qingge practicing the Three Yuan Jue. I just refined a few things and tried to guide Mu Yunzhong in the way of cultivating the heroine. If he can keep good intentions, he can understand those words like Mu Qingge."
Her voice was a little vague, trying to hide the anxiety and doubt in her heart.
Wen Bumian looked up at her, a deep look flashed in his eyes, and he frowned and said, "Is this the reason you believe he can forget the past and have a bright future?"
"Of course not...at least not entirely..." Jiang Tingwan turned around and looked at Mu Yunzhong lying on the bed, without finishing his words.
Wen Bumian also continued: "Why is that? Don't tell me that you are like most hosts in book-traveling stories, and you fell in love with the person you shouldn't love?"
Jiang Tingwan turned around suddenly, but Wen Bumian did not give her a chance to refute.
He asked her anxiously, "Do you still remember the story of Beihaimen? The fox demon that appeared in the canyon today? Don't tell me you can't guess who she is? In the original story, Mu Yunzhong led people to kill the disciples of Beihaimen. Although you have changed the story and let him accompany you, Qinglan appeared at the scene as a demon beast. Although the process is different, the ending of Beihaimen has not changed."
His words were almost like questions, forcing Jiang Tingwan to face everything that had happened today.
Jiang Tingwan's heart was shocked, but he subconsciously defended Mu Yunzhong: "I know what you mean, but have you ever thought that if all this was planned by him, then he wouldn't have to fight to the death with the one-eyed silver wolf at the bottom of the cliff today. If he saved us and kept us alive, it would have exposed his plan to ambush the disciples of the Immortal Sect."
Seeing Jiang Tingwan protecting Mu Yunzhong like this, Wen Bumian felt lost. He raised his eyes and observed Jiang Tingwan's expression, an indescribable emotion arose in his heart.
He clenched his fingers unconsciously, pursed his lips, and found it difficult to speak. Finally, he lowered his eyes and said, as if unwilling to admit it: "You can shake our belief in going home because of him, so can't he be shaken for a moment because of you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Tingwan opened her mouth, a complex emotion hit her five senses, and everything around her fell silent.
In the silence of this moment, a subtle shock flashed across her eyes. She seemed to feel Wen Bumian's feelings, causing her heart to fluctuate accordingly.
Jiang Tingwan looked at the man in front of her who came from the same world as her, and her heart was filled with conflicts. On the one hand, she was grateful and respectful to Wen Bumian, but on the other hand, she was confused and uneasy deep in her heart. She wanted to say something, but found that no matter what she said, she could not accurately express the chaotic emotions in her heart.
But in the end, she still mustered up the courage, looked into his eyes and asked, "Wen Bumian, I always thought that the feelings you expressed to me were not true, but today, I want to ask you, is your suspicion and uneasiness about Mu Yunzhong due to your own rational judgment, or because of me?"
There was a sudden surprise in Wen Bumian's eyes, his pupils suddenly shrank, he was silent, and seemed to be thinking about the most accurate answer.
After a long while, he said in a dejected tone, "Even if it was because of you, have you ever thought that the reason why Mu Yunzhong did those things was just because of hatred, and not because of his ambitions, regardless of his position? Are the villains in these stories necessarily bullied and become villains for other reasons?"
Jiang Tingwan once again re-examined the person in front of her, and he once again proposed an angle that she had never thought of before. This angle even made her fall into a state of contemplation, and made her begin to trace the fundamental reasons for the birth of the character Mu Yunzhong.
Jiang Tingwan did not answer, and he was unable to answer.
Wen Bumian narrowed his eyes and distanced himself from Jiang Tingwan by leaning forward. He raised his chin slightly, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, and he lowered his gaze and said, "I will find out the truth about the attack on Beihai Gate. I hope that by then, you can tell me in person the real reason why you believe in Mu Yunzhong so much."
After he said this, he looked at Jiang Tingwan deeply, then turned and left the room.
Jiang Tingwan looked at his leaving back, without taking his eyes off him for a long time.
His back was firm and upright, and the voice he left behind lingered for a long time, even affecting her judgment...
