The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 617 Scored twice
Sister Hongxia and Xiuling?
Zhao Chen didn't expect that they would come to see him. When he heard the knock on the door just now, he thought it was Ming Xueling or Qin Sheng coming.

——Although the "spiritual consciousness" of a cultivator in the mana realm can theoretically cover a range of hundreds of steps, no one will always use the "spiritual consciousness" to the limit unless in battle or deliberate exploration. Instead, they will try to compress it to a distance of three to five feet around themselves. This can not only prevent the "spiritual consciousness" of others from invading, but also concentrate their strength to guard against sneak attacks.

What's more, if the "spiritual consciousness" is opened too far, it is easy to conflict with the "spiritual consciousness" of other Gangsha monks. That is equivalent to "provocation". Not only may it cause conflict, but if it "sweeps" a monk with stronger strength, it will bring disaster.

The same is true for cultivators with supernatural powers. Their "spiritual consciousness" has a wider range and is more powerful, so naturally it cannot be deployed at will.

You know, for cultivators with supernatural powers, as long as their spiritual consciousness reaches a certain place, some spells and supernatural powers can be formed instantly. How could other masters of supernatural powers allow themselves to be in such a dangerous situation?

Back to the topic, although he was confused, Zhao Chen still opened the door and welcomed Yan Hongxia and Li Xiuling in. He made a cup of tea for each of them, and then asked, "What can I do for you?"

Yan Hongxia picked up the teacup and took a sip, then pointed at Li Xiuling beside her: "Xiuling wants to ask you something... I just came here to accompany her."

Having said that, in the final analysis, it was she who instigated it behind the scenes.

After all, Li Xiuling has now embarked on the path of Taoism, and he is of the dangerous "Red Bearded Dragon" bloodline. He must face his true heart. It would be too unfair if he became obsessed with emotional matters.

For a monk, it doesn’t matter whether he does good or evil, or even if he wants to kill people one moment and save people the next. As long as he follows his heart or suppresses his desires when the thought arises, and makes a decision without regrets afterwards, it will be fine.

The most taboo thing is to be indecisive and hesitant about a matter, and finally to feel regret and depression... This is most likely to breed inner demons and lead to degeneration and loss of control.

Xiuling has something to ask me? Zhao Chen's heart moved, and he roughly guessed why they came, so he cast his eyes on Li Xiuling and looked at her carefully.

The original owner's stepmother was wearing an extremely tight-fitting wide-sleeved skirt. The hem of her dress flowed out from under the apron, and she wore a gauze coat as thin as a cicada's wing. Her posture was dignified and graceful, showing off her exquisite figure to the fullest.

In comparison, Yan Hongxia's attire was more casual, wearing only a green dress, which made her look like a maid.

Perhaps because of the wine, Li Xiuling's cheeks were slightly red. Seeing Zhao Chen looking at her, she stammered a few times, and finally made up her mind and spoke:

"Xiao Chen...are you really the Zhao Chen that I watched grow up?"

After asking this question, Li Xiuling was obviously much more relaxed, but her eyes still revealed a bit of nervousness and uneasiness when she looked at Zhao Chen.

So that's what you wanted to ask... Zhao Chen glanced at Yan Hongxia and guessed that it must be Sister Hongxia who said something, but at this point, he didn't care much about the original owner's identity, not to mention...

"I am indeed not him...but the Zhao Chen you know never existed."

The original owner, his elder brother and his biological mother were just the "reincarnations" of "Ouyang Sheng" who had been involved in many evil organizations. However, the "water" involved here is too deep, and even the forbidden area in the back mountain of Yuwang Sect may just be a link behind the scenes. It is better not to tell Sister Hongxia and Xiuling for the time being.

After hearing this, Li Xiuling and Yan Hongxia were both stunned, not quite understanding what Zhao Chen meant. The latter even asked directly, "Doesn't exist?"

"Yes!" Zhao Chen nodded, and then asked, "Xiuling, think carefully. Apart from some inherent impressions and major 'events' that everyone knows about, can you remember any details of Zhao Chen's life?"

"Of course I..." Li Xiuling subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly got stuck, because she really only remembered a few things that were "characteristic" and could give people a fixed impression, and the rest were quite vague. As for Zhao Chen's elder brother, she almost didn't remember anything.

"This... how is it possible?" Li Xiuling covered her mouth in surprise.

She thought her life was miserable enough because of the betrayal and harm done by her husband and father, but she never expected that even the stepson she had tried so hard to please "did not exist"!

This realization made her feel dazed.

"How is it impossible? If your 'Red Bearded Dragon' bloodline had not awakened, and my arrival had not made 'Zhao Chen' real, you would not even remember me..." Having said this, Zhao Chen suddenly paused, because he always felt that his description had a sense of "déjà vu".

Soon, he reacted:

Making a fake person in a "story" become a real existence...how come it is so similar to the effect of the complete "Senluo Wanxiang" magical power?
I hadn’t noticed before…

The "Great Sun Star Chariot" is indeed closely related to the "Star God"! But why are the three Gangsha spells that I am learning to form the "Senluo Wanxiang" not included in the "Great Sun True Record" or "Star Chariot Jade Book"?
You know, even the "Golden Light Spell" created by a certain "candidate" can be included in it...

This should indicate that the "Great Sun Star Raft" fundamentally does not possess the ability of "all things in the universe", or it cannot possess it directly.

"Star God" and "Great Sun Star Chariot" are not completely the same.

While Zhao Chen's thoughts were drifting, Li Xiuling finally recovered from the shock, and there was no longer the previous entanglement and confusion in her eyes.

Because such "truth" is a good thing for her. After all, since the original Zhao Chen was fake, her previous relationship with the fake person is no longer valid.

Without the shackles of a forbidden relationship, Li Xiuling naturally stopped struggling. She looked Zhao Chen in the eye and said seriously, "I am still very weak now, not even qualified to help you... But I will grow up as soon as possible, and one day I will stand by your side and be your helper to repay you for pulling me out of despair."

After saying that, she pulled up Yan Hongxia, who was still a little dazed, and ran straight out of Zhao Chen's room.

"This...what is this?" Zhao Chen had just brought back his wandering thoughts when he heard this "declaration". He immediately shook his head helplessly and closed the door.

He had told Fei Meng before that his feelings for Li Xiuling could only be answered by "letting nature take its course". After all, he could not afford to give her anything now.

Since we're just going to "let nature take its course", let's just do it this way for now. Fortunately, Xiuling seems to have made up her mind and has a goal, which is a good thing.

Sighing slightly, Zhao Chen returned to the bathroom, but just as he had put the hot water in, the door was knocked again.

This time, the people who came were Ming Hongyue and Feng Wan...

When did they become so close?
