Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1100 She's a pitiful child

They know my heart, and I know their intentions—this is how a husband and wife should be. This is also why Jian Chenqing left Yanquan and married into Youzhou.

Jian Chenqing had always believed that she understood Murong Lubo, but now it seemed that it was Murong Lubo who understood her, and it had always been a one-sided understanding.

Jian Chenqing was absolutely certain that Murong Lubo was still alive, and that Jian Yingcheng's death was merely an attempt to sever the bond between Shen Yichen and Murong Ruoxi.

But what Jian Chenqing didn't understand was why Murong Lubo would let her enter the martial arts world.

In the eyes of the world, although Murong Lubo is dead, if she stays in the Ziyun Divine Pavilion, no one will touch her, let alone kill her. Regardless of her identity in Yanquan or her status in Youzhou, she will only be imprisoned in the Ziyun Divine Pavilion, not killed!

In the ancient temple nestled in the mountains, the night is serene, and a cluster of bonfires flickers with a captivating dance.

Jian Chenqing sat by the campfire, practicing her internal energy to heal her injuries.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue stood by the window, looking at the dark night.

Mu Qingxue leaned against Shen Yichen's chest without saying a word. She knew that Shen Yichen was hurt and worried.

Murong Lubo's faked death was clearly intended to make Murong Ruoxi hate Shen Yichen. Even if she didn't hate him, the two were destined not to be together. Murong Lubo really went to great lengths.

"Qingxue, don't you think it would be good if the Ji family conquered the world? Wouldn't there be no more conflict? Everyone could live in peace and prosperity, without any entanglements of interests or battles between good and evil. What's wrong with that?"

"How can you be so naive? Didn't the Ji family have any internal conflicts? If there were no conflicts, why would the three of you have gone into hiding in the martial world?"

Mu Qingxue leaned against Shen Yichen and continued speaking:

"The best state for the martial arts world is when good and evil check each other and maintain a balance. But it is really hard to control people's hearts. What is united for a long time will eventually divide, and what is divided for a long time will eventually unite. A thousand years have passed, and the martial arts world we live in is probably just the beginning of turmoil!"

Although Mu Qingxue rarely interfered in the affairs of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, she still had a deep understanding of the martial arts world.

Mu Qingxue felt that the real source of chaos in the world was Yanquan. Yanquan seemed to prevent direct conflict between the Ji family and the Wanmo Sect, but it also aroused the ambitions of the Ji family and the Wanmo Sect to compete for supremacy.

Yanquan is like a piece of fatty meat, hanging by the bedside for a long time; who wouldn't want to take a bite?

"Balance, balance!"

Shen Yichen muttered to himself, "Sister Qing was right. The problem he'll probably have to solve in his life is the issue of balance."

One must balance oneself, one's romantic relationships, the martial world, and the world at large!

"Could it be that I am truly the chosen one, and my existence is meant to clear away the conflicts that have accumulated over thousands of years? Forget it, forget it, I'm just a wandering swordsman, how could I possibly stir up the deep pool between good and evil?"

Shen Yichen stopped thinking about it. With a beauty by his side, worrying about the martial world would only spoil the fun!

Shen Yichen looked down at Mu Qingxue, biting his lip. There was only one word in their eyes: desire!

Shen Yichen was about to leave, but Mu Qingxue insisted on staying. After all, she had already met Jian Chenqing, and Jian Chenqing didn't seem like a good woman at all.

By the campfire, Shen Yichen went mad, Mu Qingxue went mad, and Jian Chenqing went mad with evil spirits!

Sword energy emanated from Jian Chenqing's body, and she suddenly collapsed to the ground, her aura and true essence unpredictable.

"Qingxue, something's wrong! Something's happened!"

"Don't stop, she's doing it on purpose!"

When Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue got up and came to Jian Chenqing's side, they were both startled.

Jian Chenqing is on the verge of death!

"You old hag, are you serious? You're not playing tricks like Murong Lubo, are you?"

Shen Yichen was truly speechless. He helped Jian Chenqing up, transformed his fingers into a sword, and used sword energy to quickly clear the channels outside Jian Chenqing's meridians.

Shen Yichen felt that Jian Chenqing's current state was not caused by him and Mu Qingxue, but by Jian Chenqing's own mind being filled with too many distracting thoughts, especially about Murong Lubo!

Shen Yichen guessed correctly. Although Jian Chenqing was healing herself, the image of Murong Lubo kept flashing through her mind. He had a smile on his face but a menacing look in his eyes.

Jian Chenqing felt a sense of fear; this was unbelievable!

Jian Chenqing went mad with fear because she was terrified. She had no idea about Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue's embarrassing affair!

Shen Yichen was covered in sweat. He was really anxious. The channels outside Jian Chenqing's meridians had been opened, but the power inside Jian Chenqing's meridians was tearing them apart.

How is that possible? Last time, Jian Chenqing's meridians were tempered by the essence of earth fire!

Mu Qingxue also realized that something was wrong.

"Damn, is it really that serious? You saw him once before, and I wasn't even embarrassed. Why are you reacting so strongly? He's not your man!"

Shen Yichen's heart is shattered into pieces!

"Sister Qing, what should I do? Tell me quickly, what should I do?"

Jian Chenqing slowly opened her eyes; she knew her physical condition.

"It's no use. Treat Xixi well. She's a good child, she's a pitiful child. Xixi is different from Murong Lubo. Promise me you'll treat Xixi well!"

"You, you old hag, you really have ulterior motives, don't you? You two are really something. One of you died to break up Shen Yichen and Murong Ruoxi, and the other died to reunite them. That's too cruel! You didn't fake your death, did you?"

Mu Qingxue was really angry. Shen Yichen's heart was drifting away from Murong Ruoxi little by little, and he was even giving up on her.

Jian Chenqing pulled this stunt again, what a trap!

Shen Yichen had no time to care about Mu Qingxue's attitude, nor did he think about his relationship with Murong Ruoxi. He was frantically thinking about how to save Jian Chenqing.

Shen Yichen quickly thought of the two pure sword energies that Jian Chenqing absorbed from the earth fire essence at the top of Yunyu Mountain!

"Sister Qing, how did you condense those two pure sword energies you used on the summit of Yunyu Mountain? Tell me quickly!"

"It's no use. I know my own body. Be kind to Xixi. She's such a pitiful child!"

Shen Yichen roared:

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me how to condense that pure sword energy!"

Shen Yichen wants to save Jian Chenqing.

Jian Chenqing is Murong Ruoxi's mother. Although she is not her biological daughter, what difference is there between them? Murong Ruoxi has lived under Jian Chenqing's care since she was a child.

He killed Murong Lubo once, and now if Jian Chenqing were to die right before his eyes, Shen Yichen would truly be unable to face Murong Ruoxi in the future.

Jian Chenqing gave a bitter smile; she understood Shen Yichen's thoughts.

"Regret? There's no need. You must learn to move forward, lead Xixi forward, and not look at the Ji family or Youzhou!"

"Tell me, how do I condense pure sword energy!"

Shen Yichen felt like he was about to collapse.

Mu Qingxue dared not joke anymore, but she could tell that Jian Chenqing was probably really going to die.

When one goes astray in cultivation, one's true essence flows against one's meridians. Unless someone with a higher cultivation level than Jian Chenqing forcibly reverses the flow of true essence, not to mention that she and Shen Yichen cannot do it, even if someone could do it now, who would be willing to risk their life?

Jian Chenqing gave Shen Yichen a chance he wouldn't regret, and she told him about the Righteous Sword Technique of the Youjian Sect.

Ling Jianchenqing and Mu Qingxue were completely surprised that Shen Yichen actually wanted to cultivate. Was this a joke? There was no way they could catch up in time!

Mu Qingxue did not stop him; only in this way would Shen Yichen feel less guilty.

Mu Qingxue finally felt a pang of guilt. Perhaps she really shouldn't have provoked Jian Chenqing while she was healing.

Mu Qingxue looked at Shen Yichen, who was practicing his cultivation technique, and helped Jian Chenqing up.

"You wretched woman, do you have any last words?"

Mu Qingxue's tone softened considerably.

"Don't tell Xixi that I've met Shen Yichen. Tell Xixi so she can bravely pursue her own love. The safety of Youzhou is not a burden she should bear!"

Mu Qingxue smiled.

"You old hag, I am the young lady of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. I'm not that kind-hearted. You think I would let Murong Ruoxi chase after Shen Yichen? What are you thinking? I may be wild, but I'm not stupid. I'm not killing Murong Ruoxi because I don't want to hurt Shen Yichen!"

Jian Chenqing laughed upon hearing this; she really shouldn't have said those things to Mu Qingxue.

Jian Chenqing closed her eyes, and after a moment, said slowly:

"After I die, bury me facing Youzhou. If, if possible, one day, let Shen Yichen bury the Qingbo Sword in my grave!"

Jian Chenqing still loved Murong Lubo in her heart. She devoted the rest of her life to Murong Lubo, except for her body. The Qingbo Sword represented the first half of her life.

One person and one sword—that is all Jian Chenqing has in this life.

Mu Qingxue was genuinely surprised. She hadn't heard the story of Jian Chenqing and Murong Lubo, but she had heard her father's evaluation of Murong Lubo, which consisted of only four words:

Cruel and ruthless!

It's unbelievable that Jian Chenqing has such deep feelings for Murong Lubo; the nature of love in this mortal world is truly inexplicable!

Shen Yichen, who was cultivating the Righteous Qi Sword Technique, was even more surprised!
