"Taking my place?"
"Don't want to be stepped on by me?"
"Become the most dazzling one?"
The man in white was suddenly shaken, his body stiffened on the spot.
He obviously had never thought of these things, perhaps unwilling to think about them.
"No, impossible." The man in white shook his head dazedly and said, "Ruo Shui is not like that, absolutely not, you don't understand Ruo Shui at all!"
Gu Chenfeng shook his head and said, "You think you know her well, but in fact, you don't understand her at all. What you see is only her surface."
"You're talking nonsense!" The man in white shouted angrily and excitedly, "Ruo Shui loves me very much; she was just deceived by that damn bastard."
"Stop deceiving yourself." Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "Saying those words, I fear even you don't believe them, right? If she loved you very much, why would she ruin you?"
"I..." The man in white was speechless.
Gu Chenfeng continued to smile and said, "You chose to leave back then because you loved her too much, you couldn't bear to kill her, but you didn't know, she couldn't wait to trample you underfoot, even to kill you."
Hearing this, the face of the man in white changed drastically, his eyes widened to the extreme.
"After all these years, you haven't let go, and what's the result?" Gu Chenfeng smiled again, "The result is you die, living in pain all these years, she takes your place and won't feel the slightest guilt or sadness because of your death."
Boom!
The face of the man in white was shaken again, his mind even boomed, and his illusory body trembled constantly.
Looking at the man in white, Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "Calm down and think carefully."
After speaking, Gu Chenfeng turned and walked towards the grand hall to 'visit' the Ancient Palace.
Time passed by second by second.
About the time it takes to burn an incense stick was almost up.
In two spaces, Yang Ke'Er was the first to take action.
Yang Ke'Er wielded the King's Sword and shot forward, slashing the man beside the woman with one blow.
The instant the man was slashed, the illusion and space vanished, and Yang Ke'Er returned to the palace square.
Gu Chenfeng happened to walk over at this time.
Looking at the man in white, Yang Ke'Er cupped her fists and asked, "Senior, did I pass the assessment?"
Hearing Yang Ke'Er's voice, the man in white was suddenly awakened, only then realizing he was immersed in pain.
"Senior, are you okay?" Yang Ke'Er asked, obviously noticing something wrong with the man in white's expression.
The man in white shook his head slightly, then said, "Tell me the reason."
Yang Ke'Er thought for a while, then answered, "Senior, if it were me, no matter how much I hate her, even if she doesn't love me, as long as I still love her, I couldn't bring myself to do it, yet I couldn't bear to watch my beloved be with someone else."
"Why?" The man in white asked again.
Yang Ke'Er replied, "If I don't kill him, I think I could never be happy in this life, I might live in endless pain, it's not worth it for someone who betrayed me."
The man in white frowned and murmured, "Is it not worth it for someone who betrayed you?"
The man in white fell into deep thought.
"Does Ruo Shui love me?" The man in white asked himself in his heart.
"If Ruo Shui loved me, she wouldn't betray me." The man in white thought silently, "She's right, it's not worth it for someone who doesn't love me and betrayed me."
Just then.
Nalan Ziye also appeared on the square.
"Senior." Nalan Ziye cupped her fists at the man in white.
The man in white asked puzzled, "Why didn't you choose?"
Nalan Ziye bit her lip and answered, "This is my choice."
"Tell me the reason." The man in white looked at Nalan Ziye.
Nalan Ziye was silent for a while, then answered, "The person I love, no matter the reason, I would never kill her."
The man in white frowned and asked, "Then why didn't you kill that man?"
Nalan Ziye replied, "Senior, I only know that truly loving someone means not letting her be sad. If they truly love each other, let her live happily."
"Live happily." The man in white thought silently, "Wasn't that why I chose to leave back then? Didn't I want my beloved to live happily, but what about me."
Nalan Ziye added, "Senior, if it's meant to be, it will be, if not, don't force it."
"If it's meant to be, it will be, if not, don't force it, if it's meant to be, it will be, if not, don't force it." The man in white murmured, repeating as a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing the smile on the man in white's face, Gu Chenfeng knew the man in white figured it out.
"If it's meant to be, it will be, if not, don't force it." The man in white laughed loudly, "Haha! That's right! What's mine will always be mine, what's not mine I will not seek, I don't need it."
"Suffering a lifetime of pain for someone who betrayed me is not worth it!"
The knot that had tortured him for years finally loosened.
A brand new realization emerged in his mind, a feeling of enlightenment and sudden understanding.
With the knot untangled, the man in white seemed reborn, beaming with joy.
Looking at the two, the man in white happily said, "Congratulations on passing my assessment and obtaining my inheritance."
"Great! Thank you, Senior!" The two women were overjoyed and hurriedly cupped their fists to thank him.
Gu Chenfeng reminded from the side, "Sister Nalan, Sister Yang, shouldn't you change what you call him?"
The two women immediately realized and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master!"
"Haha!" The man in white laughed with joy, "Sit down well, I will now impart my lifelong learning to you."
"Yes, Master!" The two women respectfully replied and obediently sat cross-legged.
The man in white laughed happily, "For calling me Master, I will use the remaining Primordial Spirit Power to help you break through the Realm!"
As he spoke, the man in white gathered formidable power with both hands, then simultaneously struck, two beams of energy, one blue and one green, entered Nalan Ziye and Yang Ke'Er's bodies.
The terrifying power surged into the two women, and their auras rapidly increased.
In just over ten seconds, the two women broke through the Realm simultaneously.
The man in white then clasped his hands together, and two arrays of blue and green light appeared above the women's heads.
The man in white consumed his Primordial Spirit Power like crazy, his body nearing transparency, his Primordial Spirit clearly about to dissipate.
The man in white was transmitting the inheritance while looking at Gu Chenfeng and asked, "Kid, tell me, how do you know about Ruo Shui?"
Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "Because the same thing happened to me, but I have already let it go."
The man in white was stunned at first, then nodded, mocking himself, "I'm not even as good as these two disciples."
Gu Chenfeng suddenly asked, "Do you still want to see her?"
