Master Qingcao knew that he had been careless. He had been in the Eternal Realm for countless years and controlled everything. He had even dared to scheme against the Jiuxiao Universe. However, he had neglected the ant-like Tian Yuan Universe.
Now, he had been ruthlessly tricked by the Tian Yuan Universe.
It was impossible to change the direction of the hive. Even if the spiritualized hive was destroyed, it was impossible.
The only thing he could do now was to destroy these insects.
"There are no Eternal Realms. The Jiuxiao Universe covers the area. Eternal Realms can't enter. Otherwise, the Wonder Gate would not sit by and do nothing. These insects can be dealt with, but …"
He hesitated and looked at his wrist. The causal chain was not only targeted at humans but also everything with causal effects. The price he had to pay to deal with these insects was too high.
He suddenly looked in the direction where the Eternal Realm monster had been banished. That thing had no scruples, but it did not listen to him.
After hesitating for a moment, he headed towards the Jiuxiao Universe.
…
The Night Pillar also headed towards the Jiuxiao Universe.
On the Sixth Night Pillar, Lu Yin liked to sit beside the cut surface. This place made him feel threatened.
In fact, even without the reminder of this surface, he still felt threatened.
Qiunan Hongye walked over. "I thought I was going to die."
Lu Yin looked at her. "Are you afraid?"
"Sir, are you mocking me?"
"I am."
Qiunan Hongye was stunned. She looked at Lu Yin. "Afraid?"
Lu Yin looked up. "Yes, I am. I am afraid of facing unknown creatures. Today, I can deal with a full-sensory creature. Tomorrow, other creatures will deal with us. To those creatures, we are also monsters."
"The universe teaches us what reverence is, but it does not make us afraid," Qiunan Hongye said.
Lu Yin smiled. "I'm afraid of losing everything because I have a lot. But humans, the more they have, the more they will lose. Brilliance will eventually lead to loneliness, and perhaps this is why many people yearn for solitude. They don't dare to accept loss."
Qiunan Hongye was curious. "Sir, what do you have?
What is the Tian Yuan Universe like?
Can you tell me more about it? "
Lu Yin did not refuse. Among the seven fairies, Qiunan Hongye was very special. Although she was not strong, she was worthy of respect.
He suddenly remembered that he had touched Qiunan Hongye in the Karmic Lotus Pond.
"The Tian Yuan Universe is different from the Jiuxiao Universe. There …"
Love and hatred in the human world were always very attractive, making people unconsciously listen to them.
His current state of mind was completely different from when he had been in the Tian Yuan Universe. Had he become more open-minded?
No, that wasn't right. If there was a grudge, there would be an eye for an eye. This was a principle that Lu Yin had not changed. It was just that there was no one else who could give him any more grudges. His gaze leaped out of the current universe.
"Tell me, why have you been blindfolded since you were young?
Have you really never thought of taking it off? "
"I've thought about it. I almost took it off a few times, but I still managed to persevere. The people of the Qiu Nan Clan are different from others. We are the beginning of the war, and we are also the end of the war. This requires a strong will. Not everyone can remain indifferent when they see people they are familiar with die in battle. We have to do this. Even if our loved ones die in front of us, the war drum is our place. We cannot leave that place, even if we know that we can save our loved ones."
"I can't bear that pain. It's better to cover my eyes. That's not a sign of a strong will. It's a form of avoidance."
"Everyone praises me for forsaking my sight to practice the Ballad of Gale. Actually, it would be great if I could open my eyes one day …"
Lu Yin and Qiunan Hongye talked a lot, as if they were close friends. Time passed quickly.
"Mister Lu, can I ask you a question?"
"I don't know."
“？？”
"I don't know who I touched."
Qiunan Hongye was very calm. "That's not the question."
Lu Yin felt awkward. "Sorry, please ask."
"Of the seven sisters, who do you want to marry the most?"
Lu Yin stared blankly at Qiunan Hongye. What was the difference between this question and the previous one?
Qiunan Hongye smiled. "Is it hard to answer?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Because you'll probably marry one, or more."
Lu Yin laughed. "I rejected the Azure Lotus Ruler in front of all of you. I rejected it then, and I still reject it now. I already have a wife."
Qiunan Hongye turned and looked at the sky. "You don't like any of them?"
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "You're all very outstanding."
"But you're even more outstanding."
"You seem to be very stubborn about this question."
Qiunan Hongye said seriously, "I said that you'll probably marry one, or more. Let me put it another way. If you have to marry one, will it be me?"
Lu Yin did not understand why Qiunan Hongye would ask such a question. He was not naive enough to believe that this woman liked him.
"Then do you want me to marry you or not?"
"I don't want you to."
"Why?"
Lu Yin was curious. Was this woman so eager to ask such a question just to eliminate the possibility of him marrying her?
Qiunan Hongye muttered, "I was born in the Qiunan Family, and I should die in the Qiunan Family. Dying in battle is my destiny, but I won't have such a destiny if I'm with you."
Lu Yin said, "You love the Qiunan Family."
Qiunan Hongye smiled. "Who doesn't love their family? Besides, the Qiunan Family is worth everything I have. Some people are strong, and some have powerful souls. In my eyes, the Qiunan Family's souls are the strongest."
She then pointed at her eyes. "I can't see here, but that doesn't mean I'm blind."
Lu Yin nodded. "Alright, you don't have to worry about it. If I really have to marry one, I'll be the first to give up on you."
Qiunan Hongye stood up and bowed solemnly to Lu Yin. "Thank you."
Lu Yin was speechless. He felt insulted.
"Back to the topic, who do you want to marry the most?"
"Didn't you already ask?"
"You didn't answer."
"Your goal is not to marry you. I've already agreed."
"The seven of us sisters are of one mind. I can help you ask."
"No need." Lu Yin paused. "What's the situation with your eldest and third sisters?"
Qiunan Hongye shook her head. "I don't know. We don't ask about their identities."
"But we all know one thing about Third Sister. She's not from the Jiuxiao Universe."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Not from the Jiuxiao Universe?"
Qiunan Hongye nodded. "We felt it the first time we met her."
"But she cultivates with a spirit seed."
"That doesn't mean anything."
Lu Yin was deep in thought.
"Actually, we don't know if Third Sister is human or not. Mr. Lu, did you touch Third Sister?"
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "No."
"Then who is it?
Do you know? "
"I really don't know."
"You denied it too quickly."
"Subconsciously …"
…
Qiunan Hongye looked cold, but she was surprisingly chatty.
It took five years to travel from the Full-Sensory Universe to the Jiuxiao Universe. During these five years, Lu Yin spent most of his time in seclusion. He did not see anyone. Occasionally, he would come out to chat with Qiunan Hongye.
Through Qiunan Hongye, Lu Yin saw another side of the seven fairies.
He knew that Lu Siyu was active and lively. But because she was a woman and had no talent in swordsmanship, she was afraid of disappointing her father. So, she forced herself to practice swordsmanship since she was young. She practiced until she cried, hid in her room, and practiced until she danced with the sword in her dreams.
In order to be apprenticed to Qing Lian Shangyu, the active and lively Lu Siyu forced herself to go through the unbearable loneliness. Even if Lu Sizhan asked her to give up, she did not.
She forced Lu Sizhan to become the Head Swordsman, but it was far less than what she had forced herself to do.
Lu Sizhan's open-mindedness and lack of competition was actually a deliberate act after seeing Lu Siyu forcing him. He wanted her to know that he did not care about the Head Swordsman or the Donglin Sword Gate's inheritance. He only cared about his daughter.
Both father and daughter were forcing him, each more ruthless than the other.
Lu Yin did not see this side of them. He only saw Lu Siyu forcing Lu Sizhan to become the Head Swordsman. He saw Lu Sizhan's unhappiness, but it was not because he was forced to become the Head Swordsman, but because Lu Siyu had never let go of her worries.
Lu Yin knew that Ming Xiaolong was easily angered and angry because of the trauma she had when she was young. It was because she protected her brother, Ming Xiaochou.
Although Ming Xiaochou was older than her, she was the one who protected him when they were young.
Lu Yin thought back to the Ling Plains, when Ming Xiaolong learned that Ming Xiaochou had suppressed his breakthrough so that he would not help the Spring and Autumn Scroll. At that moment, Ming Xiaolong's anger had been completely suppressed, and she had begged Lu Yin. That protection still existed even now.
Lu Yin knew that Heartless might seem cold and uncaring, but she couldn't bear to trample an ant to death. Her feelings were hidden in an invisible corner, and she had given the world as much warmth as she could, but no one had ever seen it.
The Seven Fairies each had their own characteristics, and what was seen on the surface was only the surface.
No wonder Qinglian Yu said that they were not bad.
Looking at the starry sky, the Ninefold Universe was constantly approaching.
Lu Yin stretched, "I'm finally back."
Beside him, Qiunan Hongye looked at the Ninefold Universe in a daze, "Yes, I'm finally back. I thought that I would definitely die in the Sensual Universe."
Lu Yin glanced at her, "I'm very happy to work with you. I hope that the next time, you'll still be the one to beat the drums for me."
Qiunan Hongye smiled charmingly, "As long as you don't think that I'm too weak, I'm willing to beat the drums for you."
In the Ninefold Universe, countless eyes looked at the starry sky. The Night Pillars shuttled back and forth like meteors falling.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the Night Pillars were fixed on the ground. This Sensual Universe expedition was finally over.
Lu Yin stood on the Night Pillar and frowned. The second, fourth, fifth, and sixth Night Pillars were in the Ninefold Universe. There should be five more Night Pillars in the Ninefold Universe, but when he looked at them the moment they fell, there were only three. Where did the other two go?
Just as he thought of this, a door appeared in front of him.
Lu Yin lifted his foot and stepped through the door, disappearing.
Walking out from the other side of the door, he saw the Sparrow Terrace in front of him. What appeared in front of Lu Yin was Jingmen Shangyu and Master Qingcao.
At this moment, Jingmen Shangyu and Master Qingcao were also looking at Lu Yin.
Other than them, there was no one else on the Sparrow Terrace.
