Special Effects For Cultivating Immortals, I Became An Immortal By Cheating
Chapter 31: Life Is Unsatisfactory, Nine Times Out Of Ten
At night, Xuan Yuan Qingwu and Qingli brought the purple-gold flowing light emerald robe tailored for Guyue Yening.
"Here, try it on."
Lin Fan handed her the clothes and then left the room.
Watching Lin Fan's departing figure, Guyue Yening frowned.
She didn't understand.
It seemed like this person was different from the person in her mother's soul bead.
But she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different.
Although he possessed memories, he was ultimately still an inexperienced little girl. Some things couldn't be replaced by memories alone; they had to be understood through personal experience.
(ps: For example, if you fall in love with a scumbag, but someone tells you he's a scumbag and to stay away from him, would you stay away? The answer is obvious.)
Guyue Yening changed into the clothes and walked out. The moonlight shone on the dark purple robe, making her look like a stunning princess in the dark night.
She was born with the potential to be a beauty, with an exceptional aura as the Daughter of Destiny. Coupled with this noble purple-gold flowing light robe, her beauty was fully revealed.
Xuan Yuan Qingli and Qingwu, who were standing by, were stunned when they saw Guyue Yening at this moment. Their mouths hung open, their faces filled with disbelief.
Although they knew Guyue Yening had a certain "ethereal" quality, they didn't expect her to possess such an otherworldly temperament.
"I've changed." Guyue Yening said to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan turned around and glanced at her. "Since you've changed, take a stroll in the Qingzhu Forest. Tomorrow, I'll take you to other places."
After speaking, he turned to the two girls and said, "Qingwu, Qingli, you two are tired today. Go back and rest."
"Yes, Master."
Seeing this scene, Guyue Yening became even more confused.
Shouldn't a man love her for her beauty?
"This person... no, no, no," Guyue Yening muttered to herself, "she must be restraining her inner impulses, playing hard to get. It's all useless tricks."
She wandered alone in the Qingzhu Forest, her gaze repeatedly falling on Lin Fan, but he never looked at her.
It was as if he truly didn't notice her.
This piqued Guyue Yening's interest even more. In her memories, it was desire, betrayal, and sorrow that her mother passed on to her.
But she was not her mother after all. She was an independent individual, and some paths had to be walked by herself to determine whether they were good or not.
She wandered around for a while and finally stopped in front of Lin Fan's stone table.
"What are you doing?"
"Playing chess."
Lin Fan explained the rules to her. "Want to play a game?"
"Sure, I'm not afraid of losing to you."
Guyue Yening sat opposite Lin Fan and started placing her pieces.
As the black and white pieces fell, the two of them seemed to have entered a realm of nothingness, using the black and white pieces as their spiritual power, confronting each other.
At first, their forces were equal, but gradually, Guyue Yening began to fall behind until she lost the game.
They played several games in a row, and each one ended with Guyue Yening's defeat.
"Again, I don't believe I can't win against you," she said defiantly.
"I'm tired. Let's play again tomorrow," Lin Fan yawned.
"No, we must play," Guyue Yening insisted.
"Well..." Lin Fan looked at her and sighed, "let's play one more game."
This time, Guyue Yening's chess skills were noticeably stronger than before. But thinking she could win against Lin Fan with just that was still too naive.
"Each game of chess can be seen as a game, an insight into the chaos of the world. In this game, the world may be overturned, and the winds may change. Every decision has the potential to lead to a completely different outcome."
"But what truly determines the outcome is not just one or two wrong decisions, but the majority of 'correct' decisions."
"So, this final move, I call it the 'Dao'."
"Everything in the world can be seen as a whole. The deconstruction of each person's life is like a vast universe. Your choices will lead you down an unknown path. But don't be afraid, as long as you find your own 'way', you can accomplish anything, overcome any obstacle. Heaven determines the fate of man, and man determines his own destiny."
As Lin Fan placed a white piece on the board, all the black pieces on the board were lifted by a force.
In Gu Yueyue's eyes, these chess pieces turned into stars floating around her, as if reflecting the ever-changing state of her heart over the past thousands of years.
Bang, bang, bang...
A series of fragmented sounds came, not from the chess pieces, but from the memories that flashed before her.
"I lost." Gu Yueyue placed two pieces on the board, tears welling up in her starry eyes.
"In fact, you played well. But more than playing chess, I hope you..."
"It has nothing to do with you."
Gu Yueyue turned around. "I'm going to rest."
After saying that, she returned to her room.
There was only one bed in the room, so if she went back, Lin Fan would have nowhere to sleep. Since he didn't need rest anyway, he decided to meditate.
In the following days, Lin Fan took Gu Yueyue around the entire Supreme Sword Domain and visited the surrounding towns, giving her a preliminary understanding of the world's general outline.
Qingzhu Forest.
The two sat opposite each other at a stone table, placing their pieces one after another.
After more than twenty days, Gu Yueyue had changed quite a bit. At least her temperament had stabilized, but the inner guard was still there.
But it shouldn't be long before Lin Fan received the system reward.
On the chessboard, the black pieces quickly surrounded the white pieces. As Lin Fan placed the final piece, the game came to an end.
"I won again."
Gu Yueyue crossed her arms and turned her head. "If you win, just win. Why pretend?"
Lin Fan: "..."
"Elder, I have an important matter to report." Xuanyuan Wentian came to report outside the courtyard.
"What's the rush?" Lin Fan asked.
"Elder, for some reason, a large number of members of the Corpse Clan suddenly appeared on the mountains surrounding the Xuanyuan Mountain Range. These guys have strong cultivation bases and can devour and evolve from each other. They are also immune to most attacks."
"Now, they have crossed the outer mountain defense line and are attacking our Xuanyuan Mountain Range."
"It happened suddenly, and most cultivators haven't had time to react and have already suffered heavy losses. The mountain protection formation is currently activated, so they can't break through for now. However, the cultivators in our Xuanyuan Mountain Range are trapped in a living hell. I hope the Elder can lend a hand."
Xuanyuan Wentian said anxiously.
Only three more days until the cooldown of the True Manifestation of the False Reality. Damn, why did this happen at this time? Life is often disappointing.
Lin Fan glanced slightly and said, "Have you investigated who these people are?"
"Time is too tight, but I've sent people to investigate. It is preliminary suspected to be the work of the Absolute Monarch Sacred Domain."
"Good, very good." Lin Fan sneered. "It seems that among you, there are indeed some ignorant fools."
"Since that's the case, let's deal with it together." Lin Fan stood up slowly.
"Lin Fan," Gu Yueyue suddenly spoke up. "Leave it to me."
Lin Fan looked at her and saw her clenched fist, biting her lip, and determination in her starry eyes.
In the past few days, although Lin Fan had diverted her attention to some extent, she would never forget what she needed to do. It was an unforgettable blood feud, something she would never forget even if she forgot everything else.
"Alright, then I'll let you handle it." Lin Fan said.
He only had one trump card left, and it wasn't the right time to use it yet.
The reason he said that was just a deliberate act.
Gu Yueyue's hatred for Emperor Wuji had spread throughout the Eastern Domain. Although it had been somewhat calmed under Lin Fan's guidance, the Absolute Monarch Sacred Domain was still there.
So when she heard that it might be someone from the Absolute Monarch Sacred Domain, she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
