Chapter 272 The World's Waters Separate [Part 7] Severing the Past
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man in white easily entered Shui Qingli's mental world, but Shui Qingli was now too preoccupied to care about such things.
When people are extremely agitated, they cannot express any emotions. Shui Qingli is currently in a state where she is very clear-headed, but seems to be disconnected from the whole world.
"I won." The man in white extended his hand to Shui Qingli, and countless slender white chains converged, binding Shui Qingli's primordial spirit within them: "A bet is a bet. Your future is now in my hands..."
Shui Qingli did not struggle. She slowly closed her eyes amidst the layers of chains, with only tears sliding down her cheeks...
Ultimately, it's probably because they just can't accept this ending...
……
"Qingli!" Yue Yuanming saw the white-robed man transform into a wisp of white light and attach himself to Shui Qingli. He immediately sensed something was wrong, but before he could get close, an unexpected spell forced him back a few steps.
Yue Yuanming frowned slightly and looked up. He saw that Shui Qingli's body was surrounded by white light. With the support of this power that did not belong to him, her feet gradually left the ground and she floated in the air.
At this moment, Shui Qingli opened his eyes. A layer of white light appeared in his aquamarine pupils, which looked slightly eerie, yet also carried a sense of looking down on all living beings that he had never possessed before.
"As expected of the only person in this world with great fortune, he is indeed very different."
"Who exactly are you? Give Qingli back to me!" Yue Yuanming hesitated, fearing he might harm Shui Qingli.
But now that things have developed to this point, it's clear that both he and Shui Qingli have been deceived by the man in white.
Shui Qingli's reasons are still unclear, but he was probably blinded by concern. He was so worried about Shui Qingli's safety that he fell into the trap without any precautions or choice.
"Give it back to you?" The man in white suddenly laughed, stepping directly onto Shui Qingli's body. He then slapped Shui Qingli on the back, pushing him towards Yue Yuanming: "You said it yourself..."
"What?" Yue Yuanming took Shui Qingli's hand, not even understanding what the man in white was saying, before seeing him disappear from the spot once again.
Looking at Shui Qingli, who had fallen into a deep sleep once again, Yue Yuanming couldn't help but feel that he couldn't see through the white-robed man's intentions—since his goal was Shui Qingli, why did he let him go so easily?
Yue Yuanming, of course, had no idea of the white-robed man's plans. The pawns should stay where they belong to play a greater role, shouldn't they?
……
【Mutian Pavilion】
Recently, several Dharma Masters have vaguely sensed that something is wrong. The most obvious sign is that Shui Qingli almost never participates in the meetings of Mutian Pavilion, and when Yue Yuanming comes to the meeting, he always brings a severe atmosphere of low pressure, making everyone afraid to even breathe.
However, this strange atmosphere did not last long. The relationship between Yue Yuanming and Shui Qingli was fractured in ways that other Dharma Aspects could not understand. Shui Qingli, who used to want to stick to Yue Yuanming whenever she was away from missions, seemed to have developed a fear of him for some reason.
This is truly an unbelievable thing. Even when Wei Churuo and Sa Rui got together to gossip, they felt deeply that even though only a few days had passed, it seemed like they had missed so many unknown things.
Just like now, Shui Qingli is performing how to publicly confront the leader of Mutiange and accuse Mutiange of acting cruelly, leaving the other Dharma Masters stunned.
Dharma Masters: You're talking as if you haven't done anything similar...
As Yue Yuanming listened to Shui Qingli's words, he felt his temples throbbing. Ever since Shui Qingli woke up that day, he had become somewhat strange. He either regarded him as a monster and wished he could never see him again, or he was brainwashed by those self-proclaimed royal fairies, preaching about love and peace and condemning the destruction of Mutian Pavilion as cruel and inhumane.
If it weren't for the fact that Shui Qingli's attitude towards him and Mutian Pavilion had undergone a complete transformation while her usual habits remained unchanged, Yue Yuanming would have suspected that Shui Qingli had been replaced.
At the same time, Yue Yuanming's view of Shui Qingli also changed after losing his emotions. His ever-present possessiveness made him believe that Shui Qingli belonged to him, so Shui Qingli's repeated open defiance of him made him unable to hide his anger, and he even took action against her for it.
After all, for Yue Yuanming, who lacks emotional intelligence and only possesses a paranoid possessiveness, only he could do something like hurting Shui Qingli.
Thus, most of the time, the Dharma Images watched in trembling fear and utter bewilderment as Yue Yuanming and Shui Qingli engaged in their strange love-hate relationship...
