Chapter 328: Impossible To Explain
Li Weiyi was unable to speak, his neck nearly pinched off by her. While slapping her arm, he used mind power to say: “Calm down a bit, you’ve gone into qi deviation!”
“I’m calmer than ever. If I had gone into qi deviation, your head would already be separated from your body right now.” Tears fell from Tang Wanzhou’s eyes like beans, truly heartbroken to the extreme.
Li Weiyi’s face was drenched by her tears. He said: “Let go first, I can explain clearly.”
“Fine, for the sake of our feelings over the past year, before killing you, I should give you a chance to speak, so you won’t resent me for being heartless.” Tang Wanzhou let go of her hand and sat back dejectedly.
Li Weiyi could finally breathe. He propped up his body and looked toward her.
At this moment, where was there any trace of the former peerlessly elegant Young Lord? She looked just like a resentful woman whose feelings had been deceived.
Li Weiyi knew there was absolutely something wrong with her memory and emotions, so without wasting words, he started from the source and carefully said: “Young Lord, do you still remember why you entered the Underground Immortal Mansion?”
“What did you call me?”
Tang Wanzhou laughed self-mockingly, her red lips splitting open, tears in her smile, then nodded fiercely: “Good, very good, truly ruthless enough. No matter, anyway, you won’t live much longer!”
Li Weiyi was completely numb. The memories and experiences that had previously flooded into his mind were only partial, so he really didn’t know what he had called her in her false memories.
Li Weiyi tried hard to keep himself calm: “Answer my previous question first, I can definitely help you recover.”
Tang Wanzhou said: “If not to help you find the Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone, why would I risk entering the Underground Immortal Mansion?”
Li Weiyi frowned tightly: “How long have I known the Young Lord? Where did we meet?”
“Naturally, we met in Qiu Prefecture City! If you ask more nonsense, don’t blame me for chopping you down right now,” she said.
Li Weiyi said: “Since we’ve only known each other for a few months, Young Lord, you who are so wise and rational, why would you risk helping me? Don’t you think this doesn’t make sense? The truth is, all these memories of yours are fake. You’ve had a problem with your cultivation, or you encountered unknown danger on the other side of the Space Teleportation Array.”
Tang Wanzhou stared at him intently, eyes full of disbelief, as if she wanted to recognize him anew: “Li Weiyi, how can a person be as shameless as you? Right, no mistake, I’ve been obsessed with cultivation since childhood, lacking experience, knowing too little about human nature, otherwise I wouldn’t have fallen so hard on you. But you actually treat me like an idiot?”
Li Weiyi saw her emotions gradually losing control, about to strike again. This strike was clearly meant to kill him.
To really be killed like this would be like flying snow in June.
Li Weiyi’s head was about to explode. He hurriedly soothed: “No, absolutely not! Let’s calm down first, give me one more chance to explain.”
“You’d better cherish every word you say. My patience is limited,” Tang Wanzhou said.
Li Weiyi decided to change his approach: “There must be a misunderstanding between us. Please tell me, Young Lord, where did I exploit you? Where did I deceive you?”
He had to first figure out her current state and stabilize her.
Tang Wanzhou stared at him coldly and countered: “Don’t you know yourself?”
“I don’t know.”
Li Weiyi paused, then hurriedly said: “I already said, there’s a misunderstanding between us. We have to resolve this misunderstanding. Have you forgotten how much we trusted each other before?”
Tang Wanzhou recalled the various past events, her gaze becoming gentle yet sorrowful: “Let me ask you, are you a member of the Evil Cult?”
“Sort of!” Li Weiyi said.
“Then isn’t that it?”
Tang Wanzhou formed a sword finger and said: “You had me gather a large group of people to enter the Underground Immortal Mansion, to help you find the Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone, wasn’t it just to lure me to the Evil Cult Headquarters?”
“I only joined after arriving at the Divine Sect Headquarters. Have you forgotten how I encountered the Southern Venerable at the Starfire Altar?” Li Weiyi said.
Tang Wanzhou’s anger surged: “Isn’t she your master? Didn’t you invite her?”
“I only took her as master later out of helplessness,” Li Weiyi said.
Tang Wanzhou said: “Full of lies, I won’t believe you again. Go die. Every year on this day, I’ll definitely burn paper money for you.”
“Wait a minute.”
Li Weiyi shouted loudly, then said: “Fine, I tricked you to the Divine Sect Headquarters. What was the purpose? If I were really a bastard, you should be imprisoned in the Divine Prison by now, or already executed.”
Tang Wanzhou sneered: “You probably wanted to use me up, then hand me over to the Evil Cult in exchange for a huge amount of wealth and resources, right?”
“What did I use you for?” Li Weiyi asked.
Tang Wanzhou said: “Using me to go to the Sacred Heart Layer to steal the Bright Star Scroll for you.”
“…”
Li Weiyi was completely speechless.
Tang Wanzhou stood up, her posture gradually straightening, suppressing the thick emotions and negative emotions: “Nothing to say, huh? For you, how many heavenly prodigies and young men from the Northern Territory fell into the Divine Prison and died at the Starfire Altar. Li Weiyi, even killing you ten times wouldn’t be enough.”
“Got it, I have a witness.”
Li Weiyi’s eyes lit up: “Young Lord, do you still remember Tuo Ba Bu Tuo?”
“The Tuoba Clan has only produced one successor in a hundred years. How could I not know?” Tang Wanzhou said.
“Wait a moment for me.”
Li Weiyi walked out of the formation light gauze. Tuo Ba Bu Tuo and Qi Xiao were waiting outside.
Seeing the injury on Li Weiyi’s neck, the two were extremely worried and hurriedly asked what exactly had happened.
“I can’t explain it clearly to you in a short time. Tuo Ba, come in with me. Old Qi, if the Hall Master and Venerable return, absolutely do not tell them I’m in this formation.”
Li Weiyi led Tuo Ba Bu Tuo into the formation light gauze.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo saw Tang Wanzhou standing by the Space Teleportation Array and was full of shock. He immediately knelt on one knee: “Tuo Ba Bu Tuo pays respects to the Young Lord. Young Lord, why are you also in the Southern Clear Palace?”
Tang Wanzhou had already regained the demeanor of the Young Lord of the Northern Territory, one hand behind her back, snow-white neck slender, arrogance piercing the clouds: “I’ve always been in the Southern Clear Palace. Didn’t this Fourth Divine Son of the Evil Cult tell you?”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo looked at Li Weiyi, full of questions.
He really couldn’t figure out what the situation was.
How did the Young Lord enter the Rice Sect Main Altar, and why had she been hiding at Brother Weiyi’s place for a whole year?
Since the Young Lord trusted Brother Weiyi so much, why did her tone just now carry distance and coldness?
Li Weiyi said: “The Young Lord has some issues. Tuo Ba, come tell her why she entered the Underground Immortal Mansion?”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo was even more baffled: “Of course it was to explore the Underground Immortal Mansion. Right, it was for the Bright Star Scroll on the mural.”
Li Weiyi looked toward Tang Wanzhou.
Tang Wanzhou said softly: “It’s my fault. I too easily believed people and put you all in danger. Even Tang Hu died in battle. I won’t make such a mistake again in this lifetime.”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo said: “Who did the Young Lord wrongly trust?”
Tang Wanzhou looked at Li Weiyi: “The mural recording the Bright Star Scroll was told to me by him. Thinking about it now, he deliberately led me there back then.”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo was completely stunned, not expecting such behind-the-scenes matters.
No young martial cultivator from the Northern Territory didn’t see Tang Wanzhou as an idol, as a banner. Tuo Ba Bu Tuo was no exception. In his heart, Tang Wanzhou was the embodiment of perfection—talent, courage, wisdom, magnanimity, all outstanding.
Therefore, he completely trusted Tang Wanzhou, even beyond trust, regarding her words as truth.
Li Weiyi said softly: “Tuo Ba, the Young Lord may have gone into qi deviation. Her memory is messed up. She even thinks I have a very deep relationship with her.”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo carefully observed Tang Wanzhou and saw no issues. He smiled: “Brother Weiyi, you and the Young Lord are heroes cherishing heroes. Without a deep relationship, how would the Young Lord hide here with you? This is absolute trust in you!”
Li Weiyi said: “The relationship I’m talking about is different from what you mean. It’s… feelings between man and woman.”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo’s eyes nearly fell out. He had never imagined that a remarkable woman like the Young Lord would develop feelings for a man—that would absolutely shock the entire Northern Territory.
“Absurd, right?” Li Weiyi said.
Seeing Tang Wanzhou standing there calmly without denying it, Tuo Ba Bu Tuo’s shock in his heart couldn’t be described in words. After a long while, he burst out laughing: “Honestly, if it were any other man, I, Tuo Ba Bu Tuo, absolutely couldn’t accept it, because no one in the world deserves the Young Lord. But if it’s you, Brother Weiyi, I can accept it calmly, because both of you are people I truly admire.”
“Pa!”
Li Weiyi patted his silver-colored head: “Be serious. Right now, my head is counting on you to save it. Believe me, she really has a big problem. She just looks normal on the surface.”
Tang Wanzhou calmly said: “You go out first. There’s no business for you here!”
“Good! Young Lord, Brother Weiyi, you two are both the smartest people under heaven. If there’s a misunderstanding, you can definitely resolve it. As for emotional issues between man and woman, I’m really clueless and can’t help.”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo hurriedly exited the formation light gauze, still dizzy, the shock in his heart unable to subside. He let out a long breath.
Qi Xiao walked over and asked: “What big event happened?”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo’s thoughts were drifting far: “Your Qi Family belongs under the Zuo Qiu Gatehouse, right?”
“That’s right,” Qi Xiao said.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo said: “After you go out, find a way to make the Zuo Qiu Gatehouse call off the marriage. Otherwise, Zuo Qiu Hong Ting will face the most terrifying rival of her life. This might be the greatest source of pain and contradiction between those two inside.”
Qi Xiao was completely confused, not knowing what he was talking about.
Inside the formation light gauze.
Tang Wanzhou said: “In this lifetime, I only pursued the pinnacle of the Martial Way and sought to end the chaotic times, returning the world to peace. Your appearance, though it wounded my state of mind in a short time, time will heal it all. Everything will return to the right track. You think your mind is superior and your methods brilliant, but when I wake up, I have the ability to steel my heart and sever the fetters in it.”
“Li Weiyi, end yourself!”
Li Weiyi sensed that the combat fluctuations had stopped and Yao Qingxuan could return at any time. His heart was anxious. He secretly thought whether to try using the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish; perhaps it would work on her.
But with the hatred and killing intent in her heart right now, how would she give him the chance to use the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish?
Moreover, the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish was his most unexposable secret.
Li Weiyi could only change strategy again: “If you kill me, how will you leave the headquarters?”
“That’s my business. No need for you to worry,” Tang Wanzhou said.
Li Weiyi walked toward her: “I know, whatever I say now, you won’t believe. But at least you should believe that if the secret of you hiding here is exposed, both you and I will hardly escape death. The battle is over. The Southern Venerable could return anytime, and perhaps the Hall Master of Spirit Valley Hall will come too.”
“Now, the entire headquarters is under martial law, all formations activated. Even Transcendents might be involved. If you walk out of the Southern Clear Palace, you’ll die without doubt.”
“Only I can help you! Even take you out of the headquarters, back to the ground.”
Tang Wanzhou nodded lightly: “Smart. You actually thought of a way to live for me. I warn you, if you’re just stalling for time, waiting for the Southern Venerable to return and then offer me up, before I die, I’ll definitely drag you down with me.”
Time was pressing, no other way. After some haggling, Li Weiyi finally compromised and let Tang Wanzhou hide in Zu Tian.
Her sense of crisis was extremely strong; she was unwilling to enter the boundary bag and had to control Li Weiyi’s life and death, fearing falling into his schemes again.
This man had deeply wounded her heart.
Li Weiyi cleared all of Tang Wanzhou’s aura and traces in this area, destroyed the Space Teleportation Array, and piled all the broken walls and ruins on it.
He had just exited the formation.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo, guarding outside the Southern Clear Palace, hurried over to report: “The Venerable is back!”
“Calm down, don’t show any flaws.”
Li Weiyi quickly went out to greet her. He was truly mentally exhausted. Just because he had taken a piece of Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone from Tang Wanzhou for free in Qiu Prefecture City, this disaster was growing bigger and bigger.
