The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 297: Chapter 155: Ji Mingyu’s "Truth" (Part 2)

Anyway, when Qingqing asked if she had any ulterior motives, her answer "No" was given so firmly. If Qingqing didn’t have the mind-reading Divine Techniques, Chu Xuan would have really been deceived by her.

Currently, Chu Xuan can only surmise that she still has feelings for him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have cried like that.

But what does it matter now? Two people who deceive and betray each other, let’s end it here.

The foundation of their relationship was never solid, otherwise, it wouldn’t have crumbled so easily...

With that, Chu Xuan silently bowed his head, strolling in the heavy snow.

He originally wanted to find Jiang Yiyi, her cheerful and optimistic nature could bring him warmth.

But now, Chu Xuan feels guilty towards Jiang Yiyi. He trusted Haitang so much, yet she was secretly investigating Jiang Yiyi’s background. Did she report everything to the sect, including the fact that the patriarch is actually an Immortal descended?

Although Gu Haitang promised to keep it a secret, Chu Xuan no longer trusts her now.

Forget it, let’s see how things go one step at a time.

"Chu Xuan~"

Suddenly, someone called out to him; it was a very familiar female voice.

Chu Xuan frowned and finally turned around, and sure enough, it was her, Ji Mingyu.

He remained silent, looking at her coldly.

At this point, the little snow ferret had already hidden aside to watch, to avoid ruining the atmosphere of reconciliation between the two.

Ming Yu was somewhat nervous but still feigned calmness and said, "Are you okay?"

This was the first time they spoke since they parted in Wuyou Valley, and to be honest, the atmosphere was very stiff.

Chu Xuan had long decided that until Ming Yu revealed her so-called "truth," he wouldn’t speak to her again.

Ji Mingyu, observing day and night, had somewhat anticipated this, and at this point, she was even more worried, realizing that further delay would turn them into enemies.

So she softly said, "I’ve changed my mind; there’s no need to wait until you reach the sixth realm; I can say it now."

Chu Xuan’s expression finally eased a bit, and he nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Ji Mingyu organized her thoughts and started from how they met, which matched the part of Chu Xuan’s memory that had returned; she didn’t lie.

Therefore, he listened even more intently.

Ming Yu started off detailed, and seeing Chu Xuan believed her, she briefly narrated the later events, fast-forwarding to the climax.

"At the time, our feelings had developed to a very intimate relationship, trusting each other with life and death."

"Before that great battle, you promised me that if faced with the worst scenario, you would use the arrangements within the Six Souls Banner to be reborn, starting over again..."

"Wait," Chu Xuan suddenly raised his hand to interrupt, "I want to know, did I tell you many secrets back then, even revealing the existence of the Six Souls Banner, and are there more?"

Ji Mingyu nodded with hopeful eyes, "You told me everything, including that you originally weren’t from this world."

When saying this, she deliberately blocked the ferret’s perception, making its five senses disappear for a brief moment.

Chu Xuan was shocked; knowing that during the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable period, the environment he lived in was much harsher than now, with a much lower starting point, his personality should have been extremely cautious.

Yet he actually told Ji Mingyu about the "Transmigrator," such a top secret. How immense was this trust?

Chu Xuan became more puzzled, he paused in silence and said, "Continue."

Ji Mingyu summoned her courage and said, "You hoped that in the unknowable future, I could bring you back, leading you again on the path of cultivation."

"So I searched for you for many years, many, many years, every year I sought clues about the Six Souls Banner in the Nine Provinces’ four regions, even seeing your shadow in dreams."

"I have been to all kinds of places, experienced repeated disappointments, at times doubted whether you were truly dead, and felt despair, but ultimately Heaven rewarded my diligence, and I finally found you."

Listening to Ming Yu’s gentle words, Chu Xuan’s originally cold heart softened a bit.

He said in a hoarse voice, "So, you found me in the Cloud Mountain area, and it wasn’t a coincidence meeting, nor was taking me as your disciple a chance event, but a premeditated plan?"

Ji Mingyu nodded, "The little ferret was arranged by me to be by your side so that I could take you in unnoticed as a disciple, without arousing your suspicion."

"But why was this necessary?" Chu Xuan was even more bewildered, "Was this something I instructed you to do originally? Is it part of the resurrection plan?"

At this point, Ming Yu was quite nervous, "No, this part was my own initiative."

"Starting over, your primary goal is not just to return to the peak but to become stronger than the former Celestial Evil Demon Venerable!"

"Only then won’t you end up surrounded and killed again."

"Though theoretically speaking, your resurrection plan could run perfectly without anyone’s involvement."

"But that’s just theoretical, you can’t risk failure, so you chose to find the one you trusted the most and also possessed the ability to help guard, which is me."

"You have already planned the cultivation route for this life, and the first step is to join the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace."

"After all, in the previous life, you were hunted in the demon path, so this life you wanted to start from the righteous path, to accumulate enough strength where good or evil is decided by your own whim, not by others’ judgment."

"As for why the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace, you have always had a fondness for this sect in the righteous path, believing this is what the righteous should be like; speaking of the overall sect atmosphere, there’s not much scheming or deceit, and the cultivators in the sect are more like pure Cultivators."
