" You know…what I'm asking…"
"I know…so this is my answer.”
"Is there any difference between this and not answering?”
" Five or six years have passed in a flash. I didn't expect Xiangjun to still not understand the truth of this matter. Is it because there's a barrier in her heart that she hasn't calmed down to talk to Mrs. Xiang..." Yun Shuang's words were slightly sarcastic.
Xiang Jun was silent. He and Madame Xiang had concealed their identities and left the Yin-Yang School for almost six years. However, in these six years, he had not spoken more than twenty words to Madame Xiang. Every time he went to visit Madame Xiang, he would leave in a hurry.
"Can you…tell me about what happened back then?”
"Can't you ask him yourself? Back then, Madame Xiang had looked for you many times to explain this matter. He had run away without a trace every time, and in the end, he was still hiding from her. Now that he wanted to know the truth, why didn't he ask her himself?”
Xiangjun lowered her head and remained silent. Her face was filled with regret.
"Are you afraid? Are you afraid of finding out who Madame Xiang is?"
Yan Lingji frowned slightly as she looked at the two of them talking in bafflement. She was slightly puzzled, but she could tell that the person who came was not an enemy. She immediately took the gauze from Yun Shuang's hand and bandaged his wound.
"Is this your wife? Then…what about Xiaoyi?”
Hearing Xiang Jun's words, Yun Shuang was silent. This kind of thing was indeed difficult to explain. Yun Shuang was afraid that Xiaoyi would get angry and fight. Of course, she was afraid that Yan Lingji would get angry and leave him.
Xiaoyi? Yan Lingji looked at Yun Shuang in confusion.
"I'll tell you everything later.”Yun Shuang sighed slightly. The sooner she said this, the sooner it would be resolved.
"Yes." Yan Lingji lowered her head and stopped asking.
"Sigh…I'm just afraid that you'll repeat the same mistakes and walk down my old path.”"You really can't tell me…the truth about that year?" Xiang Jun sighed.”
"Let me ask you, Ehuang, who do you love more?”
"I love both of them, regardless of the severity. They treat me the same.”
"In that case, does it matter who lives?”
" But I want to know…which lover did I lose…"
Yun Shuang was silent for a while before she said," I don't know which one you've lost, but I know that you haven't lost a single one.”
Hearing Yun Shuang's words, not to mention Yan Lingji, even Xiang Jun revealed a puzzled expression.
" Ahem…I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat…" Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound. Yun Shuang rubbed her stomach awkwardly.
Xiang Jun smiled and turned to leave. She returned in a short while, holding a piece of deer meat that had been slaughtered and washed, as well as a jar of wine.
Yan Lingji gently hooked her fingers and lit the bonfire in front of her. The three of them surrounded the fire and began to roast the venison.
"Let me tell you about Uncle Shun's background first. Huo 'er doesn't know.”" Uncle Shun is one of the five great elders of the Yinyang School, Elder Xiang Jun," Yun Shuang said." The beautiful woman just now is Elder Xiang Furen, who is in charge of water."”
" The two great elders of the Yin-Yang School?!" Yan Lingji revealed a surprised expression. Each of the five great elders of the Yin-Yang School was a peerless genius. Any one of them could fight to a draw with Lord Tian Ze. It was even possible for them to defeat Lord Tian Ze with the help of the mysterious Yin-Yang Art.
" As for me…I've never mentioned this before. Now that you're mine, I can't hide it from you. I'm one of the supreme elders of the Yin-Yang School, Di Yun. I'm above the Left and Right Guardians and as famous as Dongjun…"
"Supreme Elder!" Yan Lingji was shocked, and her mouth was wide open, unable to speak for a long time.
"Xiao…Xiao Shuang…You…Are you still Xiao Shuang?”
Yun Shuang gently caressed Yan Lingji's thick and elegant hair and said with a smile," Of course I'm Xiaoshuang. I'll be your Xiaoshuang for life. Di Yun is just my title in the Yin-Yang School. Other than the Left and Right Guardians, the Eastern Monarch, the Five Great Elders, and Lord Eastern Monarch, only the Supreme Elders who have concealed their identities in the Yin-Yang School know my identity. Those Supreme Elders are the former Guardian Elders. I've never seen any of them before. I know the Five Great Elders, Left and Right Guardians, and the Eastern Monarch.”
" As for Xiao Yi…" Yun Shuang thought for a while and didn't hide anything. She continued," She's my childhood friend, a girl who grew up with me. She's now a disciple of the Five Spirit Xuan and Wood Element. Now that she has mastered the Myriad Flower Art, she'll take over the position of Young Si Ming immediately."”
"A childhood sweetheart…Do you…like her very much?”
"Yes, I like her as much as I like you.”
Yan Lingji smiled and shook her head, not asking any more questions.
"You're not angry?"
"What's the use of me being angry? Do I need you to cut off all ties with her? You've known each other for so long. I don't want you to be sad.”From her words, one could hear the unhappiness in Yan Lingji's heart.
Yun Shuang gently hugged Yan Lingji and said,"Actually, I have another girl I like. She's studying Zhao Wu in Zhao. And Miss Nongyu…Si ~~"
Yan Lingji glared at Yun Shuang angrily and pinched her waist, making her grimace in pain.
"Didn't you say you weren't angry…"
"I'm not angry, but I'm very sad now. Hmph! You little pervert!"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, but I don't want to lie to you…so even if you're angry, I'll still tell you everything.”As she spoke, Yun Shuang kissed Yan Lingji's forehead, causing her to blush.
"Don't fool around with women in the future. Otherwise, I'll really be angry.”After saying that, Yan Lingji turned her head and stopped talking.
"Yes, Madam." Yun Shuang made a funny face to make Yan Lingji happy.
"Being young…is good!" Seeing Yun Shuang and Yan Lingji flirting with each other, Xiang Jun couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Once upon a time, he also had such an experience. Unfortunately, the world had changed.
"Let me tell you about what happened back then. Uncle Shun had two close female friends, Ehuang and Nu Ying. They were twins that were hard to tell apart. Other than the cultivation method, there was no way to tell the difference between the two of them…"
"This matter…let me tell you.”As if she had gotten over it, Xiang Jun continued," Ehuang, Nu Ying, and I are very loving. I've never been biased towards either of them.”
"We used to love each other so much. However, due to the difference in cultivation methods, my internal energy and Emperor E's internal energy repel each other. Only Nu Ying can be with me. If Emperor E cultivates together with me, we will both die. I feel very guilty about Emperor E, so I took extra care of her. I didn't expect that this would leave a gap in their hearts.”
"One day, they brought me to a fast-flowing river and asked me which one I would save if they fell into the water at the same time…"
As she spoke, she seemed to recall her sad experience and her expression was a little painful.
" I loved both of them and couldn't answer their questions. They jumped into the rushing river in front of me, and I could only save one of them. I watched as the other was washed away by the river, leaving no bones behind..."
After personally recounting the events of the past, Xiang Jun was extremely emotional, and her face was filled with regret.
" At that time, I saved Nu Ying, but slowly, I realized that she looked very much like Emperor E. I don't know, I really don't know who I saved, so I've been hiding from her for six years, not wanting to see her…"
"Then did you save Ehuang or Nu Ying?”Yan Lingji was entranced by his words and couldn't help but ask.
" I don't know. I can't even tell who I saved, but I know that no matter who I saved, I've already lost another one…" Tears unknowingly fell from Xiang Jun's eyes.
" These six years…you shouldn't have. No wonder Madame Xiang wanted to kill me the moment she recognized me…" Yun Shuang sighed.
"Lord Di Yun knows the truth…Can…Can you tell me?”
" This matter…is very troublesome…" Yun Shuang was somewhat helpless. He had also participated in this matter back then, and he would have to face the consequences today.
…………
Xiao Shuang, the aunties have a favor to ask of you…"
"Um, which one of you is Auntie Ehuang and who is Auntie Nuying?”
"Hehehehe, that's not important. We want to ask you for a favor. Tomorrow, we sisters will go and test Emperor Shun's feelings. We want to see who he loves more. One of us may die, but no matter what Emperor Shun chooses, we don't want the other to die. This is a very important matter, and we don't trust anyone, so we can only think of you. Can you…help us with this?”
"Okay, leave it to me. I will definitely protect you.”
…………
"If you want to know the truth, answer me a question. Do you love their bodies or their souls?”
"I love them. No matter what they become, I still love them. Of course, I don't love their bodies. I love their souls.”
"Since you don't care about your physical body…then my answer is correct.”
"What…what does this mean?!”Xiang Jun was clearly agitated.
"Xiangjun, do you want to hear another version of the story?”
"Another version?" Xiang Jun and Yan Lingji asked the same question.
" There was once a pair of twin sisters who fell in love with the same man at the same time, but they couldn't tell which man loved them more, so they decided to test the man's reaction at the cost of their lives. No matter who the man chose, the other person had to quit. However, in fact, neither of the sisters wanted anything to happen to the other. So, the night before, they found a little boy, hoping that he would help when the time came, and the little boy agreed..."
" This…This…" Xiangjun heard Yun Shuang's words and knew what she meant." Lord Di Yun means…"
"Back then, I saved Emperor E, so the one you saved was indeed Nu Ying.”
"Where…where is Emperor E now?!”Xiang Jun excitedly grabbed Yun Shuang's shoulder. Yan Lingji attacked Xiang Jun, and the Fire Spirit Hairpin stopped one centimeter away from Xiang Jun's neck.
"Si…Don't get too excited. There's more to this story.”The violent shaking caused Yun Shuang to feel pain in her chest.
Knowing that she had lost her composure, Xiang Jun apologized repeatedly. Yan Lingji finally withdrew the Fire Spirit Hairpin in her hand, but she looked at Xiang Jun with an unfriendly expression.
"In your story, you saved your sister in the end, and your sister died. But in my story, there was a little boy, and everything was different. The man who had saved his sister had suffered a huge blow. He did not want to know which one he had lost, so he started to distance himself from his sister. In the end, he even avoided her. His sister had been secretly observing him, and she was so sad that she cried. Neither of them had expected that a moment of willfulness would lead to such an ending.”
"Just as the two sisters were at a loss, the little boy discovered a Yin-Yang Art that had been passed down from ancient times in the books of the Yin-Yang School.”
"What Yin Yang Art?" Xiang Jun asked.
"Soul, return!"
"Hun Xi…has returned?" Yan Lingji and Xiang Jun couldn't help but read it out loud, but it was obvious that they had never heard of it.
"It's an extremely difficult technique to cultivate. It's an ancient Yin-Yang technique left behind from hundreds of years ago that almost no one can master.”After a pause, Yun Shuang continued," Soul Return is actually a soul summoning technique. If a person dies, using Soul Return can gather the living soul of the dead person again. It can bring the dead back to life in a short period of time.”
"Resurrection!" The two of them could not help but be surprised. Death was something that could not be reversed, but now there was actually a Yin-Yang Art that could bring the dead back to life.
"Do humans…really have souls?" Yan Lingji asked.
" Yes…" If not…how did I transmigrate here…
"After a person dies, their soul dissipates into the world. If the soul is strong enough, it can attach itself to a sword and become a weapon spirit. However, it will gradually lose its consciousness and memories.”There was one more thing that Yun Shuang didn't mention. A self-cultivator could use their soul to reconstruct their body, but he had never heard of it before. He had only heard about it from his master.
" Soul Return…actually, there's another use…"
"What use is it?"
"You can extract a person's soul and inject it into another person's body, but the conditions are too harsh.”
" This..." Yan Lingji and Xiang Jun both felt that this was unbelievable.
" Firstly, the soul must be compatible with the body. Secondly, the soul must not resist. Lastly, the most important thing is that if two souls are injected into a body, it will definitely cause a fight for the body. If the two souls are not good enough to lose their lives for the other, both souls will be destroyed and only an empty shell will be left.”
" So…Lord Di Yun means…" Xiang Jun was a little agitated after vaguely guessing the truth.
