Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 470 Wu Yue's Advice

The void, somewhere.

"Um?!"

In a strange place with starlight flowing, a scholar in a white robe suddenly opened his eyes. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and a grayish color quickly rose in his pupils. Then his expression changed slightly.

"In the end, we still couldn't stop this variable?"

He looked at the divination scene in front of him that had been turned into chaos by a ray of moonlight, rubbed his temples lightly, and sighed helplessly.

In the end, the guy was still attracted by the cause and effect between the two people and subconsciously went to meet them.

With his level of divination skills, there aren't many people in the astral realm who can stop him from doing divination, and even fewer who are capable of disrupting his plans.

But...that guy is one of them, and he is the one who gives him the most headaches among all of them.

"I can only hope...that you won't have too much of an impact on them."

He murmured, looked up at the fragmented starry sky above his head, and there was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, as if he recalled something.

"After all, those two were not as tenacious and strong as you were in terms of fate and strength..."

"Moonless."

.........

At the same time, beside Moonlight Lake.

What exactly is confusing him?
Hearing the question from the white-haired, blindfolded woman, Xin Lailai was stunned, with a look of surprise and confusion in her eyes.

"Um... Senior, can I ask what exactly you mean by confusion?"

Xin Lailai asked tentatively, looking at the white-haired, blindfolded woman in front of him, her tone obviously puzzled.

It would be fine if he really was confused about something now, but the problem was that he didn't even know what the so-called confusion was in his heart?
"Ling Yuzi, from your perspective, do I seem to be confused for some reason?"

"No, I feel like you have a clear goal now, Lailai? And your mental state is also very healthy."

Xin Lailai asked the girl in his mind. Hearing this, Ling Yuzi shook his head slightly, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

Not to mention Xin Lailai herself, even she, who has always maintained a spiritual connection with Xin Lailai, also felt that there was something confused in Xin Lailai's heart.

"I don't know, but there is indeed confusion in your heart. This is what your sword force tells me."

The white-haired blindfolded woman shook her head gently and answered in a cold and pleasant voice. Then she looked at Ling Yuzi beside her and said:
"And... this kind of confusion only exists in you. There is no such confusion in her sword moves."

It only exists in him and not in Ling Yuzi?

After hearing the explanation of the white-haired, blindfolded woman, the confusion in Xin Lailai's eyes not only did not ease, but became even more intense than before.

"This... Senior, please forgive me for my stupidity. I cannot understand what you mean by confusion."

"I don't think I'm confused at all now. I know exactly what I want to do, what I want to do, and what I should do. So, I'm afraid I'm temporarily unable to answer your questions."

"Or, if you don't mind, how about I describe my recent situation in full and let you make the judgment?"

After thinking for a long time and still unable to get an answer, Xin Lailai bowed slightly to the white-haired, blindfolded woman in front of him, staring at her beautiful face that seemed to always be calm and composed, and asked tentatively.

"Hmm...yes."

The white-haired, blindfolded woman heard this, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Xin Lailai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. At the same time, he suddenly thought of something and asked quickly:
"By the way, Senior, do you know Senior Meiqian?"

"Yes, he is one of my few friends."

The white-haired, blindfolded woman answered calmly, and Xin Lailai was completely relieved after getting the result. Since the other party said this in person, no matter whether what she said was true or false, he at least had an explanation to the boss Meimu. After all, he couldn't guarantee whether Meimu would be unhappy with his behavior of telling the white-haired, blindfolded woman in front of him about what happened between them, but he didn't dare to really refuse the question asked by the white-haired, blindfolded woman in front of him. In addition, he also wanted to know what the other party meant by that sentence, so he could only find a relatively compromising method as much as possible.

So, Xin Lailai let out a long sigh, and after briefly organizing his thoughts in his mind, he began to describe his current situation and his experiences during this period in detail.

……

After one hour.

"Senior, this is all that I have experienced during this period. Is there anything else you want me to tell you in detail?"

By the lake, Xin Lailai looked at the white-haired blindfolded woman in front of her and asked carefully. The white-haired blindfolded woman did not answer immediately. She just stood there, looking like she was thinking with her head down. She made some silent sounds under her beautiful face. After a while, she shook her head gently and said in a cold and pleasant voice:

"No need, I already know the answer."

"!"

Hearing the other party's words, Xin Lailai's eyes lit up and a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes. Together with Ling Yuzi, they looked at the white-haired, blindfolded woman in front of them with curiosity, waiting for her answer.

But the next second, the other party's words made them stunned:

"But I can't tell you."

"Senior, this..."

"If I tell you the answer here, all the protection I have set for you will be lost. Therefore, you will have to find the answer on your own."

"Otherwise, it will do more harm than good."

"However, although I cannot tell you everything, I can still give you one word -"

"May I ask, what is it that you desire in your heart? And..."

"Besides this, what else is there?"

The cold and pleasant voice seemed to have some kind of magic that kept echoing in the minds of the two people, making them immersed in it involuntarily. When they came to their senses, they found that the white-haired and blindfolded woman in front of them had disappeared from the spot. No one knew where she went. Only a cold voice was left echoing around the lake:

"This Silver Moon Lake rises and falls every three years, forming a truly spectacular silver moon. If you can enter this place again when it rises and falls next time, and if you haven't committed too many sins, you may be able to gain something."

The voice of the white-haired blindfolded woman echoed in their ears. Xin Lailai and Ling Yuzi were slightly startled by the words in their heads, and then they all bowed in the direction of the voice and said respectfully:

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I am grateful for your kindness!"

……

On the other side, at the bottom of Moonlight Lake.

The quiet moonlight fell from the lake above. Looking up, one could see white crystals shaped like snow piling up at the bottom of the lake, forming a translucent barrier.

As one of the ten wonders in the void, Moonlight Lake is not only a place of unparalleled scenery, the moonlight power deposited at the bottom of the lake is also far beyond the characteristics of ordinary moonlight. The moonlight power accumulated over a long period of time has long been so rich that it is enough to stop even the strongest, and only the strongest can go deep into it. Even the strongest existence will feel pressure when approaching the bottom of the lake because of the moonlight power that has been deposited to the point of being almost substantial. Those who have insufficient accumulation may even find it difficult to move.

But at this moment, a vague figure was strolling casually in the deepest part of the lake as if he was strolling in the garden. With every step he took, the moonlight power wherever he passed would silently die down. The surrounding moonlight power could not even get within three inches of his body, let alone stop his movements.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the white-haired blindfolded woman finally stopped and stood in front of a staircase leading downwards. She easily passed through the barrier set by the former Silver Moon Wolf clan's top seal master, and walked down the stairs until she came to a huge stone door that was hundreds of meters high. Buzz rumble——!!

The sound of a heavy stone door opening slowly came from the cool underground passage where no lake water could seep in. The bright moonlight fell through the crack in the door, and an extremely vast underground space gradually appeared before the eyes of the white-haired, blindfolded woman.

But the white-haired blindfolded woman didn't care about the scene in front of her, but continued to walk forward, following the gradually rising steps, passing one silver-white statue after another that symbolized the powerful men of the former Silver Moon Wolf clan, and finally stopped in front of the huge altar at the end. She didn't walk up to the altar, but looked at something on the side:

It's a statue.

However, unlike the other statues, the statue in front of the white-haired, blindfolded woman is not silver-white like the other statues, but is white-gray overall. At the same time, it does not have the natural and harmonious feeling of the other statues as if it grew out of the base. Instead, it gives people a feeling that it is incompatible with the surrounding environment, as if it should not be placed here at all.

Apart from these strange features, the most striking thing about this statue compared to other statues is actually its appearance.

——This is not a statue of the Silver Moon Wolf, but... a half-wolf.

A human face could be clearly seen under the dense fur, and the limbs and torso did not show the curvature that was unique to the Silver Moon Wolf clan. Instead, they stood there straight like humans, giving people a sense of majesty and calmness as stable as a mountain.

[Ding~ You have a new communication request, initiator: Meimu]

looks……

The white-haired, blindfolded woman listened to the prompt in her head, tilted her head slightly, thought for a while, and then clicked on the communication application.

[Application approved, connecting...]

[Connection completed, remote communication started, current communication charge: 2985 soul coins/minute, communication time...]

A cold reminder sound rang out, and the next second, a figure who looked like a scholar in a white robe appeared in front of the white-haired and blindfolded woman.

The white-robed scholar looked at the white-haired, blindfolded woman in front of him. He was silent for a while, then he said:

"You've probably seen them, right?"

they?

Oh, are they the two polite juniors from before?
The white-haired blindfolded woman tilted her head slightly when she heard the scholar's question. After thinking for two seconds, she realized what the other party was saying. Then she nodded and said:

"Ah."

"How much did you tell them?"

"Not much."

"…What do you mean by not much? And change the way you speak. Speak Mandarin instead of those fancy words you learned from Lao Bai."

"The younger one who seemed taller had a sense of confusion in his sword moves. I asked him about his experience and told him to think more about what he really wanted to do."

"that's it?"

"I also reminded them to control the resentment of the living beings in their bodies, so as to avoid being unable to bathe during the Moonlight Festival."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

The white-haired blindfolded woman answered truthfully. Upon hearing this, the white-robed scholar was silent for a while, looked at the white-haired blindfolded woman in front of him repeatedly, and said:

"I was very surprised. I had already prepared for the worst and was ready to help them collect the bodies and arrange the funeral."

"They told me about you. If I tell them the answer, it will ruin your plan, which is not good for them."

"..."

The white-haired blindfolded woman answered seriously. The white-robed scholar fell silent after hearing this. After a long while, he spoke again:

"To be honest, this is the most shocking thing I've heard in a while. You actually started to consider other people's feelings."

"Rosa told me that this helps control the blood."

"Although she is very likely to... Well, that's true. I hope you can keep this habit."

"Also, that taller junior, whose style of behavior is very similar to yours, is he the disciple you prepared for yourself?"

"Unfortunately, no, his talent for divination is too poor, and his affinity with my system is not high. Otherwise, I would really like to do this."

"However, their current usefulness is indeed crucial, so if possible, I personally still hope that they can survive."

"The essential?"

"Yes, that's the key. After all, it's not easy to find someone who can hold that guy's attention. I originally trained someone else, but I didn't expect to get a surprise from him. It's just that maybe because he is too suitable, that guy became a little impatient."

The white-robed scholar said this, sighed slightly, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.

The magnitude of the cause and effect entangled between the two people now was far beyond his expectations.

The future Lord of the Underworld, he who is a playwright, the Chosen One of the Sanctuary, the new Agent, the new master of techniques, the bookworm of the academic sect, the eldest daughter of the Gilelyu family, as well as the playwright and that guy.

In his plan, these were the causes and effects that were supposed to be related to the two people, and the chain reaction brought about by these causes and effects would guide the two people to steadily walk on this path and continue to attract that guy's attention.

But now, due to the other party's disruption and some chain reactions, the cause and effect between the two people is much stronger than he expected.

First, the two servants raised by the other party actually established a direct connection with that servant, which led to a significant increase in the hidden efficiency of the two in techniques and spells. They saw Haoguang and another person whose origins he didn't even know in advance, and they accidentally formed a cause and effect with the fool in front of them, and it was an extremely huge one.

Then, the cause and effect of that existence suddenly appeared, causing the fate of the former supreme lord to be abruptly cut off by two people whose cause and effect suddenly became much heavier. It also indirectly caused the fool in front of him who had already touched that realm to be attracted by the cause and effect of that existence, and came into contact with the two people for the second time, causing new variables to appear in the plan he had arranged with great difficulty.

Such a huge cause and effect will definitely not produce just a few impacts. Suppose before he was confident enough to let those two people protect themselves in the next world, but now, even if he has calculated everything, he can only have a 70% chance of helping those two people survive.

"To be honest, it's a good thing you didn't do anything too extreme this time, otherwise, the probability of them surviving would have been reduced to less than 20%."

The white-robed scholar looked at the white-haired, blindfolded woman in front of him and sighed, but the white-haired, blindfolded woman just shook her head slightly when she heard his words, walked past the other's projection, came to the half-wolf statue in front of her, and gently placed the bouquet of flowers in her hand, which she had picked from somewhere, on the other's palm.

"There's still no news from Yin Yue from your side?"

The white-robed scholar looked at the white-haired, blindfolded woman's actions, lowered his eyes slightly, and spoke.

The white-haired, blindfolded woman shook her head slightly and answered in this way.

"Really? Then I wish you can find him as soon as possible."

The scholar in white robe saw the other party's reaction, closed his eyes, sighed softly, said nothing more, actively disconnected the communication, and disappeared on the spot.

Only the white-haired, blindfolded woman was left standing in front of the statue, staring at the statue's pupils that she had carved with her own hands according to her memory, in silence.
