Chapter 436: Dual Cultivation Body of Myriad Laws, All Karmic Ties Severed
But it was only for a moment before she returned to normal. "Gu Qinglan, you didn't come here just to tell me this, did you?"
The woman's voice was cold and emotionless.
However, after saying that, she slowly turned around and looked at the person behind her.
"Sigh, how many years has it been? You're still the same, not a bit changed!"
"If you don't have anything else, I'm going back inside!"
"Shen Yixue, do you have to talk to me like this? I'm your Senior Sister, don't you want to hear why Su Fan gave up your last hope?"
The woman called Gu Qinglan's voice was still clear and clean, but her words carried a hint of anger.
The oil-paper umbrella disappeared from her hand, revealing a face that could be described as perfect.
In the rain, the two women were like two competing flowers.
The calm conversation just now suddenly grew heated.
"Senior Sister? Not anymore. Not since you betrayed me and Brother Fan!"
Shen Yixue shook her head, memories of the past surfacing in her eyes. "You should leave. Brother Fan giving up the Eternal Star Shard was within my expectations. With your shamelessness, it was bound to happen sooner or later!"
With that, she turned and walked towards the house without looking back.
"Yixue, I don't want to explain too much about what happened back then. I came here this time to tell you that your Dual Cultivation Body of Myriad Laws has been discovered by people from a great clan, and they want to take you away! You and Su Fan will never be able to meet again!"
"You... what did you say?"
Shen Yixue instantly stopped.
The unchanging coldness was gone.
A look of disbelief appeared on her face.
The Dual Cultivation Body of Myriad Laws was one of the most top-tier dual cultivation physiques recorded.
Moreover, this physique could not be detected; it could only be perceived during the first intimate act.
And only she and Su Fan knew about her physique.
She had never mentioned it to anyone else, so how did Gu Qinglan know? And how did outsiders know?
She knew the consequences of her physique being exposed.
Therefore, in addition to disbelief, there was a hint of panic in her eyes.
Her cultivation had not advanced an inch in a thousand years; she had no chance of resisting.
"It was Su Fan. Perhaps he missed you too much and fell victim to a Gu charm of enchantment placed by the current Holy Son. In his confusion, he revealed your physique!"
Seeing Shen Yixue's panicked expression, Gu Qinglan's anger dissipated. She sighed slightly and explained.
"I once ordered this news to be sealed, but I found out too late. The news had already spread, and some people even used it to make a deal with the Immortal King Luo Family!"
As her voice fell, she sighed deeply again.
There were some things she was powerless to change.
Even though she was now a Hall Master of the Moon Shadow Sect, she could only watch.
Above her were the Grand Elders and the Sect Master.
She came here today, first, to inform Shen Yixue of this news, and second, to let them meet one last time.
Su Fan suddenly appeared more than two hundred years ago, holding a tear-like bead, claiming it was a Bead of Destiny, and a mirror, which he called the Spiritual Mirror.
If the Bead of Destiny and the Spiritual Mirror could be refined by one person, they would merge into a supreme treasure.
He wanted to exchange them for Shen Yixue's freedom and have the Sect Master swear an oath of the Great Dao.
But unexpectedly, the Sect Master agreed, yet no one could refine those two treasures.
This was considered deception by the Sect Master, who confiscated the two treasures and imprisoned Su Fan.
The reason he wasn't executed was to let Shen Yixue and him know of each other but never meet, to vent the hatred in his heart.
She didn't believe Su Fan would be so bored as to lie about such a thing.
But since no one could refine them, it was no wonder the Sect Master got angry.
"He... how could he..."
Shen Yixue's voice trembled slightly, and tears shimmered in her eyes.
The oil-paper umbrella slipped from her hand, letting the night rain drench her.
Drip... drip...
Water dripped from her chin, making it hard to tell if it was rain or tears.
A thousand years of longing, endless loneliness, accompanied only by a small courtyard—she had endured it all.
Only because of that bright spark in her heart, that person who made her constantly worried.
But she never expected...
Although he said it after being afflicted by the Gu charm, was that an excuse?
In these thousand years, was she merely imprisoned here?
The torment and various tortures she suffered were countless, yet they never got anything from her mouth.
And he was captured for two hundred years, not only revealing all the news of the Eternal Star Shard but even her physique...
The Eternal Star Shard was nothing; she didn't care, it was just an external object.
But if her physique was known by others, had he not considered the consequences?
"Yixue, you... sigh, what I can do is let you see him one last time. Come with me!"
Seeing Shen Yixue's appearance, Gu Qinglan felt a little heartache.
But, she was also powerless.
As the most top-tier dual cultivation physique, the Dual Cultivation Body of Myriad Laws, no man could resist its temptation.
Wasn't it Shen Yixue's contribution that Su Fan became the strongest prodigy of the Su Family back then?
If the Sect Master hadn't gained more important benefits from the Luo Family, perhaps Shen Yixue would have already fallen into the Sect Master's hands.
Although Shen Yixue didn't acknowledge her as a Senior Sister, she was still willing to help.
However.
Shen Yixue, who was behind her, didn't follow.
She turned around in confusion.
"Senior Sister, thank you. Please give him a message for me: just say that our fate is over. When he gets out, find our daughter and live well!"
Shen Yixue shook her head, revealing a self-mocking smile.
"Oh, and please give a message to the Sect Master for me: I can leave with the Luo Family, but only if Su Fan is released. Otherwise, I have ways to end myself!"
With that, she turned again and walked towards the house.
But, at this moment, her figure appeared very thin and haggard.
"You..."
Gu Qinglan wanted to say something, but she walked two steps and then stopped.
She had thought that by risking danger to create one last chance for them, she could lessen a great regret in their hearts.
But she didn't expect that at the last moment, Shen Yixue, who had waited for a thousand years, gave up herself.
However, looking at that lonely back, she felt relieved.
What good would meeting do? Would they just express their longing?
Perhaps it would be more of a speechless encounter.
Moreover, Su Fan might not even want to see Shen Yixue at this time.
His slip of the tongue led to Shen Yixue's physique being exposed, and he might be even more afraid of the guilt he would face when seeing Shen Yixue.
In this way, perhaps it was the best outcome for Su Fan.
However, the only one sacrificed was Shen Yixue.
In the end, she had to use her own value to gain Su Fan's freedom.
She shook her head, turned helplessly, and walked out of the courtyard.
The night rain continued to pour down, and the cold raindrops completely extinguished the small flame in the heart of the beautiful woman inside the house.
