The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 601 Hesitation and Warning

After a while of silence in the strange atmosphere, the two of them put on their clothes and makeup.

Li Xiuling combed her messed up hair and asked casually, "Hongxia... have you decided on Xiaochen?
"You should know that he is not loyal in his feelings."

Yan Hongxia took off the clothes that Li Xiuling gave her, and took out her own Feiyu suit from the storage bag. Only then could she breathe smoothly, and then she answered casually: "Aren't all men like this?
"No, it should be said that all capable people are like this, and it is not limited to men and women."

This is a world with cultivators, and Daxia does not advocate the ancient ethical rules and regulations. Under the premise that there is no decisive power gap between men and women, it cannot be said that they are equal, but it is certain that strength determines status.

"Xiaochen...is he very powerful?" Li Xiuling asked hesitantly.

However, the majestic figure who broke the "reincarnation" and saved her and her two children immediately emerged in her mind.

However, at that time she didn’t know that the “hero” was Zhao Chen.

"Don't you know how powerful he is?" Yan Hongxia blinked and asked back.

Her words were a double entendre. She was saying that Zhao Chen had saved the other person in the "fog of history", and she was also hinting that he had eavesdropped on the conversation at the wall all night... Her tone was full of sarcasm.

Even someone like Li Xiuling who has experienced this felt a little embarrassed... out of anger.

She reached out her hand again, wanting to "punish" her best friend, but Yan Hongxia easily dodged it.

"Hongxia, how did you become like this now?" Li Xiuling pointed at her with hatred, gritting her teeth and said, "Where is the girl who was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head after being criticized?"

"Of course I was taught by Xiaochen you mentioned..." Yan Hongxia was actually still shy, but she was holding it back. After all, if she showed her shyness at this moment, she would inevitably be "suppressed" by her good friend, and she also planned to take the opportunity to talk to the other party about more embarrassing topics.

"Why are you still making random accusations against others? I watched Xiaochen grow up, how could I not know what kind of person he is? It's almost like you led him astray!" Li Xiuling subconsciously began to defend Zhao Chen.

Seeing this, Yan Hongxia knew that she had "tested" out the result, so her expression suddenly became serious, and she asked solemnly: "Xiuling, tell me honestly... do you also have feelings for Xiaochen?"

"I didn't..." Li Xiuling looked a little flustered and immediately shook her head, but before she could say the denial, she met her friend's extremely serious eyes.

The meaning behind this is self-evident - I want to hear the truth!
Li Xiuling bit her lip and said with difficulty: "Since you already know everything, why do you have to force me to admit it..."

Yan Hongxia's expression became more serious, and she warned him in an almost stern tone: "Only by facing your true heart can your thoughts flow. If you are not a cultivator, it would be fine, but since you have achieved 'magic power', you cannot ignore the problem of your mind, otherwise it is easy to go astray.

"Don't ever think that refining the 'Gangsha Qi' is a simple matter. It is indeed a shortcut to comprehending the true meaning and laws, but it is not something that can be easily mastered.

"If you are not careful, you will be attacked by the 'fragments of laws' or the 'true meaning of all laws' contained in the evil spirit... because that is also 'knowledge', and this kind of knowledge is 'toxic'!

"As for the consequences of the backlash, you should have seen it... Zhao Song and your father probably went to extremes because of this and lost their humanity."

These words made Li Xiuling, who had never been taught the method of cultivation by the system and had to rely on her own exploration, stunned for a long time. After a while, she asked nervously: "Is it really that serious?"

"It might not be so serious for other cultivators, but you have awakened the blood of the evil Red Bearded Dragon. If your mind and character can't keep up, it is indeed dangerous." Yan Hongxia was not really trying to scare her friend. It is really not good for cultivation to dwell on such emotional matters for too long. After all, Li Xiuling is currently practicing the fighting method of the Red Bearded Dragon, not the Way of the Seven Emotions. If you fall into some extreme paranoid emotions, it is not impossible to turn into a monster in an instant.

"But...but Xiaochen was mine after all...and if I really end up with him...then how should I face Mian'er and Xi'er?" Li Xiuling was very conflicted and spoke intermittently.

But she finally opened her heart to Yan Hongxia.

"We cultivators should make decisions. We can either face difficulties head-on or give up completely." When Yan Hongxia said this, she saw her friend's face was changing from bright to dark, as if she was struggling and suffering. So she sighed again and softened her tone, "In fact, I had the same concerns as you at the beginning. After all, you and I are good friends, and you are his..."

She stopped here because she felt that if she said those two words, she would be a generation shorter in vain.

Li Xiuling's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "Then how did you convince yourself to make the decision?"

Yan Hongxia's previous guidance was actually to make Li Xiuling ask this question and then break through the obstacles in her heart, but at this moment she deliberately kept it a secret: "This involves a secret... Xiaochen's secret."

"What secret?" Li Xiuling stared at her friend, her breathing rate dropping.

Yan Hongxia did not answer but asked: "Do you feel that your Xiaochen is different from before?"

"He has become a monk, of course he is different from before!" Li Xiuling frowned, thinking that Yan Hongxia was beating around the bush and might be playing tricks on her.

"No... I'm afraid his changes are too great to be explained by his improved cultivation. Although I don't know him from the past, I know a little about him from the relevant information.

"Xiao Chen in the past six months is completely different from before." Yan Hongxia said this and suddenly waved her hand to stop Li Xiuling who was eager to ask questions, and then continued, "Don't worry, I'm not saying that he was possessed or replaced.

"But... I suspect that he is the reincarnation of a real person. The reason why he has changed so much in the past six months and his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds is probably because he solved the mystery of his womb and awakened his memories of his past life."

This can also explain why the "Master" valued a young cultivator who had just reached the Qi realm and allowed him to control me.

"Reincarnation... True Person?" Li Xiuling didn't know much about cultivation, but she also understood the significance of the word "True Person". She suddenly said, "I remember Xiaochen had a companion magic weapon..."

"Yes, the reincarnation of a real person!" Yan Hongxia nodded seriously, and then briefly explained the concept of "reincarnation". Then she continued, "It was only after I knew that he had opened his wisdom that I overcame some obstacles in my heart..."

This was a lie. The truth was that she had long been fascinated by Zhao Chen. The only thing she needed to overcome was her "shame".

But after listening to her friend's "change of heart", Li Xiuling remained silent for a long time. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she looked at Yan Hongxia and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Hongxia."

……

In the living room on the other side, Zhao Chen and Zheng Qingyan were counting their gains from the treasure hunt in Xuancheng and the two major events of the "Heart Realm Ruins".
