Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1606 Linjiangxian 27

When the second group of students walked out of Wujushan Academy, Bai Jiusi came over.

Even though Bai Jiusi tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, Hua Ruyue knew him very well and understood that he was really being punished for her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and the remaining resentment from the past surged into her heart.

Hua Ruoyue wanted to ask Bai Jiusi why he acted on his own, but she herself was already a beneficiary to some extent, so she couldn't ask those resentful questions.

Hua Ruoyue wiped away her tears, took a few deep breaths to adjust her mood, and facing Jiang Xinxin's worried gaze, she finally let Bai Jiusi in.

The two of them sat, one in the east and one in the west, looking at each other in silence.

Hua Ruyue never expected that things would get so bad between her and Bai Jiusi that they had nothing to say to each other, while Bai Jiusi racked his brains to think of how to explain to Hua Ruyue why he had suddenly disappeared for so long.

It was on his way back to the mortal world that he suddenly remembered that one day in heaven was equal to one year on earth. He had been tortured for ten full days, so ten full years had passed on earth. Later, he was detained in the Heavenly Palace by the Immortal Lord Yuya for almost ten days, so almost twenty years had passed on earth.

Jiang Xinxin found an excuse to go out, leaving the two of them enough private space.

Finally, Hua Ruyue asked, "Bai Jiusi, when will you stop acting on your own?"

Bai Jiusi's face suddenly turned pale, and his pretended calmness was immediately broken. He reached out to pull Hua Ruyue, but Hua Ruyue dodged him.

Bai Jiusi mumbled "A Yue" but couldn't utter a word. This infuriated Hua Ruyue so much that she sneered, "Ha, you, the Great Xuanzun, are truly formidable! Do you think you've sealed away all my magical powers and taken the punishment for me in Xuantian? This is truly remarkable. I should weep bitterly and repent for my rash interference in the karma of mortals, and repent for the rest of my life, declaring that I'll never do it again?!"

Bai Jiusi didn't dare to continue hoping for the best. He quickly apologized and explained his thoughts at the time in detail: "Ayue, I was wrong. When you helped Meng Changqin kill the drought dragon, I knew there must be something behind the years of severe drought in the three northwestern states. So I had to make a decision before the Xuantian envoys found us."

"I ignored your pleas and took advantage of your backlash injuries while you were still recovering to seal your cultivation. Firstly, I wanted to delay the Xuantian Angels from finding you so I could make plans earlier. Secondly, I also wanted to ask the Xuantian Angels to reduce the punishment for our willingness to accept it."

"The reason I didn't tell you this at the time was because you were too emotional. I felt that no matter what I said, you wouldn't be able to listen for the time being, and we didn't have much time to waste, so I just took action..."

Bai Jiusi's greatest strength is that he knows he was wrong. He also admits that he saw his wife Hua Ruyue was too emotional at that time, so he preconceived that it would take a while to reason with her, so he acted on his own initiative.

Hua Ruoyue heard all of this and felt so sad and angry but didn't know who to vent to.

Bai Jiusi didn't say it explicitly, but she had already realized that it was her rash action to kill the drought dragon, which violated the rules of heaven and made the first mistake. Now she also remembered that before Bai Jiusi sealed her magic power, he did mention that the drought dragon had no direct connection with the consecutive years of drought in the three northwestern states.

It was at that time that she was stuck in a dead end, obsessed with the fact that Bai Jiusi could easily save mortals, while she was considered to have made a big mistake by saving Meng Chi. She had already harbored resentment and resentment in her heart, so she could not look at the drought in Wuju Mountain with a normal mind.

At that time, she didn't tell Bai Jiusi about her pregnancy in time, perhaps because she wanted to use this incident to make Bai Jiusi regret it...

To be honest, Bai Jiusi only felt that Hua Ruyue was wrong for using her magical powers to interfere with the life and death of mortals during her tribulation. She wasn't entirely wrong about the drought dragon either. It was too late to say anything at this point, so he said, "Ayue, it's not that you will incur the judgment of the Xuantian angels as soon as you use your magical powers. It's that you, a mortal, are undergoing a tribulation, yet you still use your magical powers to interfere with the life and death of mortals. That's the mistake."

Hua Ruyue instinctively retorted, uttering the words that had been lingering in her heart for a long time: "What about you? When did you ever take the suffering of mortals seriously?"

Bai Jiusi was speechless and didn't dare to look into Hua Ruyue's eyes.

After a long while, he spoke quietly, "It's true that I never cared about the suffering of mortals, let alone took it to heart. But I don't think that's wrong. Immortals should treat all spirits equally. I see the suffering of mortals, and I also see the suffering of other sentient beings."

"Since Heaven has already established its rules, it would be great if you and I could be fair and just, and treat all living beings equally."

Hua Ruoyue understood that this was her own way and Bai Jiusi's way.

There are strong and weak Taos, but no high or low.

Hua Ruyue disagreed with Bai Jiusi's heartlessness, but she was too embarrassed to continue speaking because of Hanlong's unjust death. However, she finally revealed Shi'an's situation: "I begged you not to seal my cultivation because I felt I was pregnant. I was worried that the backlash from losing my cultivation would cause serious injuries to the fetus..."

Bai Jiusi stood up suddenly, his lips trembling, and he didn't dare to ask anything about the child.

In fact, everything is obvious. Since the child is not with Hua Ruyue now, something must have happened...

Seeing Bai Jiusi crying without any image, Hua Ruyue's last bit of resentment finally disappeared.

But at the same time, she also realized her own hypocrisy. After all, she used her own flesh and blood to deal with his biological father...

For a while, Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi became strangers.

Bai Jiusi didn't dare to provoke Hua Ruyue, nor could he face the fact that he had given a helping hand in the affairs of his own flesh and blood.

But Hua Ruyue could not face the fact that she had used the child to deal with his father. What's more, she was currently trying to make amends with Shi'an and Hanlong, and was also thinking about her own path. Bai Jiusi was really nothing to her.

Seeing the two of them like this, Jiang Xinxin understood what they were thinking, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Bai Jiusi was born to be ruthless, but fate wanted him to have a heart as hard as stone and give him flesh and blood, but it couldn't affect his path.

How is this possible?

Jiang Xinxin felt that the way of heaven was too much.

As for Hua Ruyue, Tiandao thinks that she is the protector of sentient beings, but at the same time, she cannot favor any particular tribe or individual. She is required to love all living beings but cannot be partial. What is the difference between this and being ruthless in nature?

Hua Ruoyue was the first to get over that relationship. She had begun to examine her own path and was ready to perfect it.

Bai Jiusi realized it later and began to examine his actions. He had not yet reached the realm of Tao. It seemed that he was indeed one step slower than Hua Ruyue, and he didn't know when he would catch up.
