The green shadow rushed forward, her figure graceful, revealing that she was a woman. It seemed she had exerted all her strength, racing for thousands of miles; her hair was disheveled and her complexion pale.
Seeing that everyone was frozen in place, she finally felt relieved and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. It was evident how arduous her pursuit had been.
Feng Yuru exclaimed, "Mei Xian, how could it be you?"
The newcomer was indeed a member of the Lan Family, Lan Mei Xian.
She was the master of Tie Butian, and also the master of Chu Yang's mother, Yang Ruolan, who had brought Wu Qianqian to the heavens above. It was Lan Mei Xian!
"Senior Feng." Lan Mei Xian had no time to say anything before tears streamed down her face, suddenly kneeling on the ground, saying, "Mei Xian has come to represent the family and apologize to the two seniors!"
Yue Lingxue lightly said, "There's no need to apologize, after all, we have different paths and do not conspire together. We do not blame you."
Lan Mei Xian replied, "But... this matter was indeed our fault from the start."
Yue Lingxue smiled faintly, "However, those people are already dead. They have died cleanly!"
Lan Mei Xian looked despondent and failed to notice that Feng Yuru had already helped her up.
Yue Lingxue stated directly, "In fact, without that incident, we would eventually be adversaries. I am going to assist the Nine Calamity Sword Master. As for your Lan Family, that is not the case! If we forgive you now, what then? When the Nine Calamity Sword Master sets foot in the heavens above, do you think your Lan Family would truly sit idly by?"
Lan Mei Xian sighed deeply, tears flowing from her eyes, saying, "I just hope that our past friendship will not be in vain. How can we predict what will happen in the future… Or perhaps the Nine Calamity Sword Master will face great disaster in the heavens, who knows?"
Yue Lingxue sneered, "Ridiculous."
Then she turned away, indifferently saying, "You may go back."
Lan Mei Xian stood there stunned, suddenly trembling as she asked, "If we become enemies in the future, will you kill me?"
Yue Lingxue's expression flickered slightly as she replied, "I will!"
Lan Mei Xian let out a tragic laugh and suddenly spat out several mouthfuls of blood, laughing, "Yue Lingxue... you want to kill me?"
Yue Lingxue said calmly, "Why shouldn't I kill you?"
Lan Mei Xian's expression suddenly became somewhat desperate. She staggered and fell, then got back up, her body covered in snow, and said gloomily, "I left the Lan Family for you... for three thousand years... I preserved my purity and cultivated the ice heart through jade bones for you; for you, I wasted three thousand years of time, three thousand years of youth in the flow of water..."
"Now, you want to kill me?" Lan Mei Xian's voice grew sharper, "To kill me... for some inexplicable Nine Calamity Sword Master?"
This statement left even Feng Yuru stunned!
Yue Lingxue remained unmoved, saying lightly, "Back then when you saw me, you mentioned this matter, but at that time, I was already married to Yuru for nine thousand years!"
"I had clearly stated that while having multiple wives is common in this world, I personally do not oppose it. However, Yuru and I share a dual heart connection, wind and moon dual hearts, created by heaven and earth, and there is simply no room for anyone else!"
"If it were forced, it might break our dual heart, and we both would become useless!"
Yue Lingxue quietly continued, "So I found the patriarch of the Lan Family back then, asking you to restrain yourselves and take care of your lifelong matters."
"So, you waited for me for three thousand years, you sacrificed three thousand years; such feelings are worthy of sympathy and would move anyone: I was moved, that is no empty talk. But I do not owe you anything."
Yue Lingxue sighed, "Saying this may seem heartless, but it is the truth! Mei Xian, I know you like me, and Yuru knows too, but do you really want me and Yuru to break our dual hearts, and for our divine skills to backfire, leaving us both useless?"
