195: Shen Chuyun's Dream

“What’s the use of telling me all this? The one you truly wronged is your Senior Brother. If you genuinely want his forgiveness, you should go and tell him yourself.”

“This Disciple also wanted to go and seek Senior Brother’s forgiveness. Indeed, for hundreds of years, without Senior Brother’s silent dedication behind the scenes, how could I have achieved my current status?”

Xu Feifei picked up a pot of spirit tea and filled Shen Chuyun’s cup.

“But, this Disciple truly doesn’t dare. The Senior Brother now is no longer the Senior Brother I once knew.”

Shen Chuyun shook her head gently upon hearing this: “If he doesn’t want to forgive you, then you brought it upon yourself. On the path of the Dao,

Karma is an unchanging law. You should bear the fruit that you ought to swallow for the Karma you created.”

“But I’m not reconciled.”

Xu Feifei put down the teapot.

“This Disciple came from a humble background since childhood. If not for Revered Master and Senior Brother taking me in and guiding me, it would have been impossible to have everything I have today.”

“But my life has just begun, and I cannot stop because of the foolish mistakes I made in the past. Revered Master, do you understand this principle?”

Shen Chuyun: “You still can’t let go of your obsession with power, and you are always unable to face your ordinary self.”

“That’s right, I can’t face my former ordinary self. It’s precisely because of this that after I witnessed Senior Brother’s astonishing cultivation talent, I developed a twisted mentality.”

“Do you know what I was thinking when I, along with Lu Qinghuan and the others, bullied Senior Brother? I was thinking, why can a weak person like Senior Brother have such talent,

why can he embark on the Dao path without any qualms? The same sword technique, he only needs to see it once to fully comprehend it, while I couldn’t even get started after three months. Why is there so much injustice in the world? This is truly unfair to me, Revered Master, tell me, why is there so much injustice in this world?”

“Why is there so much injustice in the world? This is truly unfair to me, Revered Master, tell me, why is there so much injustice in this world?”

Shen Chuyun: “Indeed, no one can decide their birth destiny.

On the path of cultivation, everyone’s talent and opportunities are different.

But when you encounter someone willing to help you, you should be grateful.

Effort should be rewarded; this is the simplest principle of being human.

But what did you all do to your benefactors?

Jealousy made each of you abandon the moral bottom line of being human.

Every single thing you did was the greatest harm to those who were willing to genuinely give to you.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei nodded and said: “You are right, so Revered Master, I am willing to change now, willing to be human. Do you think I still have a chance?”

Shen Chuyun: “Then what about everything you did to Shen Lian in the past?”

“Revered Master, why do you always dwell on the past!” A trace of impatience appeared on Xu Feifei’s face, “I already said, that’s all in the past. What’s done is done, there’s no use talking about it anymore.

Now, I just want to say goodbye to the past and no longer mention that unbearable history.

I, Xu Feifei, am the Island Revered Master of South Sea Penglai Island, no longer anyone’s Junior Sister.

Shen Lian, he has no reason to kill me anymore. The way we should interact is as equals.”

Shen Chuyun couldn’t help but widen her beautiful eyes, looking at Xu Feifei with a face full of disbelief.

“Revered Master, why are you looking at me with such eyes? Is there something wrong with what this Disciple said?”

“Yes, I did hurt Senior Brother. I did force him into desperate situations several times, and I also made him lose face in front of everyone in the world.”

“But that’s all in the past! Can’t he just consider the old Xu Feifei dead? The current Xu Feifei, one of the Seven Sages of the Immortal Island, and moreover, an Island Revered Master, holds such a noble status.”

“Why should I pay for my past self? This is truly unfair to me, don’t you think, Revered Master?”

Shen Chuyun let out a light, expressionless laugh: “It seems you haven’t realized how serious the crimes you’ve committed are. You seven are truly one more disgusting than the last.”

“Revered Master, how can you say that about me?” Xu Feifei’s jade eyebrows furrowed coldly, “The current Xu Feifei is gentle and kind, living harmoniously with everyone on the island. Look…”

Xu Feifei stood up, spread her arms, and spun around in front of Shen Chuyun.

“Do I still have any trace of malice? All I possess is the demeanor an Island Revered Master should have.”

Shen Chuyun closed her eyes, not looking at her, and muttered: “It seems you haven’t realized your past mistakes at all. Will Shen Lian empathize with what you’re saying?”

“Why wouldn’t he empathize?” Xu Feifei’s eyes gradually became twisted and frenzied, “Everyone changes, don’t they?”

“For example, Senior Brother, he used to be submissive, someone who didn’t know how to resist even when being killed, but now he has become so ferocious.”

“Since he can change, why can’t I?”

“No, I’m not reconciled, I’m truly not reconciled!”

“Why should I bear the consequences alone? This is truly unfair to me.”

Shen Chuyun didn’t answer, simply because she realized this Disciple was already beyond saving.

“So Revered Master, you should help me.”

Xu Feifei suddenly squatted in front of Shen Chuyun, gripping her hand.

“I know that back in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, Shen Lian saved you. For someone as brutal as him to sacrifice himself to save you,

it shows that Revered Master’s position in his heart must be crucial. As long as Revered Master speaks, I believe Senior Brother will definitely not make things difficult for me anymore.

Please agree, Revered Master, okay?”

This sentence seemed to touch a chord in Shen Chuyun’s heart.

However, just thinking of Shen Lian throwing her off the netherworld chariot and leaving heartlessly, an indescribable pain arose in her heart.

“You’re overthinking. Shen Lian won’t abandon his goal for anyone, and it’s even less likely he’d give up revenge for me.

The people he wants to eliminate cannot escape, even to the ends of the earth, unless there’s a sufficient reason for him to give up.”

“You’re lying to me! Revered Master, why are you lying to me!” Xu Feifei clearly didn’t believe Shen Chuyun’s words, “Shen Lian must have sensed your affection for him, which is why he went to the Monster Beast Forest to help you escape.”

“He merely wanted to repay me for these years of nurturing.”

As Shen Chuyun spoke these words, her thoughts drifted back to a much older memory.

At that time, Shen Lian was as heartless as he was on the day of their marriage… On that day, Su Luoyan (Shen Chuyun’s previous life), in a wedding robe, holding the True Scripture of the Five Emperors, caught up with Shen Lian.

“Shen Lian, where are you going? Don’t you know our wedding is about to take place? Why are you leaving!”

Shen Lian’s face was cold, devoid of the gentleness he had during his amnesia.

He turned his head to look back, then left with a heartless remark.

“A mere Mortal Empress, worthy of my Shen Lian’s favor? Do you know what Shen Lian’s ideal is?

To pursue the Grand Dao, transcend the mundane, and make the heavens bow—that is what a Human Emperor should do.

Recalling the experiences during this period of amnesia is the greatest humiliation of my Shen Lian’s life.

I thank you for your care during this time; this True Scripture of the Five Emperors is your reward.

Now, get lost quickly and don’t obstruct Shen Lian’s path forward!”

“Shen Lian, no, don’t go! If you must go, then take me with you!”

“Shen Lian does not keep useless burdens by his side. Get lost, don’t force me to kill you!”

A gust of Qi swept through, and Su Luoyan was immediately knocked to the ground.

“Hahahaha, no one can stop me, and no one can make the Human Emperor halt his advance. Not heaven, not earth, and certainly not you…”

“Only endless battles and passionate slaughter can make Shen Lian feel the meaning of existence, hahahaha!”

Amidst bursts of wild laughter, and Su Luoyan’s shocked and despairing eyes, Shen Lian transformed into a beam of light and vanished into the sky in an instant.

“No, don’t go, Shen Lian~”

Su Luoyan was heartbroken, never expecting that the relationship between her and Shen Lang would ultimately end like this.
