Chapter 1146 The Heartbreaking Truth

When Zi Xuan heard Lu Chen's words, her eyes, which were originally as calm as water, suddenly rippled. She stared at Lu Chen quietly, and the complex emotions revealed in her eyes were difficult to understand.

She did not answer his question immediately as Lu Chen expected, but remained silent for a moment, as if she was considering how to word it.

Finally, she sighed softly. The sigh was particularly clear in the quiet cave, making the whole atmosphere even more solemn.

The cave was dead silent, with only the faint sound of Lu Chen's breathing and Zi Xuan's soft footsteps echoing in this enclosed space.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The silence between the two people weighed more than any words, weighing heavily on their hearts.

Zi Xuan's eyes never left Lu Chen's. Her eyes were gentle and firm, as if she wanted to see through his eyes to see his innermost thoughts. Finally, she broke the silence and said slowly in a slightly trembling voice:

"Brother Lu, do you know? At first I thought that you and I would never see each other again in this life."

Her words revealed a deep helplessness and sadness, as if it was a long-forgotten past that was still heartbreaking when it was uncovered again.

"When I unexpectedly met you in Qiongtai Fairy City that day, I was so happy that I couldn't express it in words. However, at that time, I had no way out."

Zixuan's voice became increasingly deeper, as if every word carried her unspeakable pain.

Lu Chen listened to Zi Xuan's words, a trace of doubt and anger flashed in his eyes, thinking:

"You bitch, I treated you so well, but you framed me like this."

At this time, Zi Xuan continued, "Back then, I was saved by that old Taoist priest, and later he took me to the fairyland. The cruelty of the fairyland is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

In order to survive, I had to rely on my own weak strength and live on."

"Brother Lu, you may never understand that feeling of powerlessness."

Zi Xuan's eyes were slightly red. "When you find out that everything you do is just to stay alive, when you realize that even if you try your best, you can't change your predetermined fate, that kind of despair is enough to destroy a person's will."

Her voice choked with sobs. “I have thought about giving up countless times. Perhaps death will be my best destination.”

At this point, she paused, with a look of pain in her eyes, "Later, I was noticed by the elder of Yao Chi Holy Land, my master, Qin Xin Zhenren. Not only did she bring me back to the sect, she also taught me the profound Taoism.

At this point, my fate has quietly changed. I no longer worry about just living.

But we should work hard for the path to eternal life. Brother Lu, do you know what eternal life is?

People in the world all say that if one cultivates to the level of Taiqing Xuanxian and reaches the realm of Xiandi, one can obtain eternal life. However, this is totally wrong. Above Taiqing Xuanxian, there is a more profound realm of cultivation. "

As Lu Chen listened to Zi Xuan's story, the anger and confusion in his heart gradually turned into sympathy and understanding.

He knew very well that everyone had their own difficulties and helplessness, and Zixuan was no exception, and continuing to write glory was no exception.

However, this cannot be regarded as a reason for the other party to frame me.

If you like to pursue the high road, then go for it, why involve yourself?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's voice seemed to be polished by sandpaper, and he squeezed out of his throat hoarsely and with difficulty: "Then...then...what does all this have to do with me?"

When Zixuan heard this, a distorted smile suddenly appeared on her originally beautiful face. That smile was like a flower ravaged by a storm. Although it still had a faint fragrance, it was full of bitterness and helplessness.

There was a complex light flashing in her eyes, a mixture of helplessness, pain and determination, which made people feel pity for her.

"Brother Lu, do you know? In fact, I have known about the marriage with Wanbao Sect for a long time." Although Zixuan's voice was still gentle, there was a hint of coldness in it, as if the gentleness was just a thin coat, and the coldness was the true reflection of her heart.

She sighed softly and continued, "As a saint, I cannot openly resist the sect's decision. Otherwise, not only will I be in calamity, but I will also implicate many innocent people."

When Lu Chen listened to Zi Xuan's words, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. This chill was like a stream of icy spring water, flowing from the soles of his feet to his heart, making him tremble all over.

He originally thought that Zi Xuan was forced to choose to marry into the Wanbao Sect, but he didn't expect that she had planned it all along.

Zi Xuan continued, "So, when I met you, I started planning how to use you to solve this problem. Guide you to kill Hua Mingrui, and then get rid of you."

Lu Chen's heart sank suddenly, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping his heart.

He asked with difficulty: "Why...why me?"

Zi Xuan sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes:

"Because people who fall in love will do whatever they want without thinking.

Do you think all this is a coincidence? When you returned to Yaochi, Murong Qiuyue and the old man just happened to arrive. Do you think this is fate? No, all this is the result of my careful planning. "

"But..." Lu Chen's voice was hoarse and weak, "But why did you do this? We once had so many good memories, don't they count?"

Zixuan's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "Brother Lu, I know these words will make you sad, but reality is so cruel. I can't give up the pursuit of the avenue for one person.

It is even more impossible to waste time on people of too low a level."

Lu Chen's eyes revealed deep disappointment and despair, but he still tried to understand Zi Xuan's choice:

"Then why don't you just kill me?"

"Because I haven't found the bitter bamboo, one of the ten great spiritual roots, on your body."

Zixuan's eyes turned cold.

After hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood Zi Xuan's true intention.

It turns out that all this was for the bitter bamboo, one of the ten spiritual roots.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart.

He knew that he was now in a desperate situation and it would not be easy to escape.

Zi Xuan looked at the changes in Lu Chen's expression and felt a little reluctant.

After all, they once had such a deep relationship, but now everything is irreversible. She said softly:

"Brother Lu, I know you must hate me now, but I also have my difficulties. If you are willing to return the bitter bamboo, I can let you go this time."

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Are you serious? As long as I return the bitter bamboo, will you really let me go?"

Zixuan nodded………………
