I, the transmigrated villain, please wait, gentle master.

Chapter 199 The Truth Will Be Revealed Again (8)

Having gone all the way, Li Tingyun carried Mei Shiyu back to the Taoist temple.

Looking at his sleeping face, I inexplicably buried my face in the crook of his neck and stole a kiss.

The long-standing regret has finally been made up for.

However, however.

That very light kiss that landed on Mei Shiyu's neck suddenly transformed into a cursed seal that appeared and disappeared!

Li Tingyun was momentarily stunned, and even childishly rubbed the curse mark with his fingers, as if it were just drawn on and would come off with a rub.

How did the Yin-Yang Curse come about?

This is a question that probably no one but himself can answer. In fact, he is more bewildered than anyone else, like a child who has done something wrong, hiding his hands in his sleeves.

The Yin-Yang Curse is specifically designed for cultivators. Those afflicted by the curse are unable to use their spiritual power, and their cultivation vanishes into nothingness.

Unless one reverses Yin and Yang, abandons the path of immortality to cultivate the path of demons, and transforms all spiritual power into demonic energy, one can regain one's former abilities.

In other words, there is no way to be saved except by falling into demonic possession.

The unique sinister arts of Taiji Hall.

The one who first created this was naturally him, the master of the Taiji Hall.

But Li Tingyun found that he couldn't untie it no matter what he did!

He didn't even know how Mei Shiyu had fallen for the trick.

There were only the two of them present. What other explanation could there be besides him personally casting the curse? But what did he just do? He clearly didn't do anything! Was his memory playing tricks on him, or had someone deceived him?!

Inside the Taoist temple, the two were alone in a room, while outside, a large crowd had gathered.

Every disciple of the Dao Xuan Sect was alarmed and gathered at the usually quiet and secluded Hidden Sword Peak. Upon hearing that the Hall Master of the Taiji Hall had brought their junior uncle back to the sect, their faces were filled with strange and indescribable expressions, a colorful and fascinating sight.

They surrounded the entire mountaintop with imposing force, but Yuan Che was the only one missing from all of them.

Coincidentally, he was the only one who wasn't there.

He and his junior sister went down the mountain to receive their mission.

It will take at least three to five months to get back.

When I returned, I found that my master was gone.

How could such a great master of his have simply disappeared?

Later, when he heard that the person was in the Taiji Hall, he felt like the sky was falling!

Leaving aside what happened later, at that moment, Li Tingyun was in a state of extreme confusion. He stood there for a quarter of an hour, then half an hour, holding his head and seemingly lost in thought. It was as if something was beyond his comprehension, something incomprehensible and beyond his understanding!

Why did such a bizarre thing happen? It was just a kiss, a kiss he had longed for and regretted for so long, why did it turn into an indelible curse?! Was it because he was too obsessed, too resentful, and inadvertently had evil thoughts that this happened?

The more I think about it, the more headache I get.

I have an incredibly bad headache.

It's no less than sawing open the top of the skull.

Li Tingyun rushed out the door, grabbed people and cast curses, cutting his palms to draw blood, but without exception, he could break the curses.

Seeing his crazy behavior and strange actions, the crowd, who had been on edge for so long, snapped and swarmed forward to start a chaotic battle.

Everyone thought Li Tingyun was about to unleash a massacre, and that Dao Xuan Sect would inevitably face a fierce battle. Even the other major immortal sects were alarmed, and a large number of cultivators and fellow Daoists from all directions were on their way by flying on their swords.

Unexpectedly, Li Tingyun left without even fighting.

There was something very wrong about him.

It seemed as if they were fleeing in disarray.

Back in the Taiji Hall, he calmed his mind and reflected on his actions. He gradually realized that he had been wrong from the very beginning.

He shouldn't have brought Mei Shiyu back to Daoxuan Sect.

The best course of action would have been to ensure his safety and then leave; someone from the Dao Xuan Sect would then come looking for him.

Personally escorting them back would be too conspicuous.

In the eyes of the world, Li Tingyun and Mei Shiyu are clearly two people who have no connection, no relationship, and are irreconcilable enemies.

Where does his swaggering attitude leave Mei Shiyu?

Didn't he think of that at the time?

How could he not understand such a simple principle?

Why did he knowingly commit the crime?

Even though I knew it was wrong, I still did it.

Did he lose control of himself?

I can't control myself...

Li Tingyun sat in the empty hall.

Shivered.

Suddenly, he stood up and began fumbling around on his clothes, seemingly searching for something, but his expression was tense and his heart was filled with urgency.

Unable to find it no matter what he tried, he even stuck his fingers into his flesh, ripped open his chest, and rummaged around inside.

He wished he could search every inch of his body, flesh and blood, and find a Golden Silkworm Gu in some diseased organ!

Gu worms, scorpions, poisonous snakes, spiders, centipedes—anything will do!

He desperately wished that someone had malicious intent to poison him, turning him into the very thing he hated, feared, and despised most.

But he couldn't find anything.

There was no excuse, no reason, no explanation.

I almost ground my teeth to powder.

Li Tingyun leaned against the golden dragon pillar, feeling somewhat exhausted.

I can't control myself.

Ah.

His knees almost hit the ground with a loud thud, and he managed to keep from collapsing completely by bracing himself with his hands.

Cold sweat streamed down his bulging forehead, dripping onto the gleaming lapis lazuli bricks and forming small puddles.

The bright red bloodstains on his hands were fading, and the empty wound on his chest was healing, but he had never been more certain than he was that he was "sick".

It's the kind of condition that will never get better.

He became like his father.

...unable to control oneself.

Li Tingyun had actually had this feeling for a long time. Ever since he lost control of his temper, became ruthless and didn't care about his own family, and accidentally injured Wangcai several times, he wondered if he had contracted the same madness as his father.

Despite his many faults, the saying "a cursed star, abandoned by all" is absolutely true.

His family fell into poverty, his parents died, the courtesan died suddenly, the blind man died tragically, and finally, the dog he had raised since he was a puppy, the only living creature left by his side, also left him completely.

How can it not be considered a prophecy?

He was born to be alone. Anyone who gets close to him or treats him well ends up in a terrible situation, each one more tragic than the last.

Before, he only had doubts, but now he couldn't help but believe.

Is it an "illness" or "fate"?

Was it something wrong with him, or was it fate playing tricks on him?

Is it possible that he was merely a piece of wood in the hands of a craftsman, sculpted into a predetermined shape, his fate priced from the day he was born, his ending already written, his gatherings and separations, his joys and sorrows, none of which were up to him?

So who gets to decide? Who gets to decide?!

he does not know.

He always thought about doing everything he could to break through that invisible constraint.

But he didn't even know who his opponent was, or where the person "controlling" him was.

Li Tingyun remained silent for many days.

During this period, Mei Shiyu was in a bad situation at Daoxuan Sect. His senior brother thought that he had been colluding with Taiji Hall and almost imprisoned him in the Heavenly Prison for interrogation.

Mei Shiyu simply sealed the Fenjing Sword he had retrieved at Cangjian Peak and left the sect without a word. However, he was accused of "fleeing out of fear of punishment," and from then on, he had nowhere to stand in Cangyou Mountain.

Mei Shiyu knew that with the curse mark on his body still intact, and being stranded alone with no way to use his cultivation, he was in danger. Sure enough, he was caught not far after leaving the mountain, and his senior and second senior brothers almost tore him in two.

The two disagreed on how to deal with him.

No one expected that Li Tingyun would launch a surprise attack and intercept Mei Shiyu halfway through the journey.

And he also killed the weed spirit in the process.

In a sense, he has also resolved a major deadlock for the Dao Xuan Sect, so that the brothers no longer need to fight over splitting up.

Although the Master of Taiji Hall is not good at solving problems, he is particularly good at dealing with people who raise problems. He cuts through the mess quickly and uses brute force to overcome all difficulties. When you think you've reached a dead end, isn't this a crooked path, a different way to break the deadlock?

Li Tingyun killed someone, intercepted Hu, and took Mei Shiyu back to the Taiji Palace, determined to find a way to break the curse on him.

He went to find Mei Shiyu, naturally out of fear that the other party might be in danger, but he seemed to have forgotten that for Mei Shiyu, nothing was more dangerous than him, and no situation was more terrifying than waking up to find himself lying in the Taiji Hall!

In Mei Shiyu's memory, what dealings had he ever had with the Taiji Palace?! The only thing he'd done was go down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits and wipe out several of their hideouts. Besides that, he'd even considered killing a few city lords first to curb their arrogance…

But before the plan could be implemented, he was captured by Li Tingyun and taken to his lair, his entrepreneurial venture cut short.

The two looked at each other, and Mei Shiyu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. This was just too bad luck.

Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, then they quickly looked away.

Plum Rain: ...

Li Tingyun: ? ? ?

What was that expression on his face? From guilt to determination, and then to a willingness to die for his country, and a calm acceptance of his fate.

Li Tingyun asked him, "Is it really necessary? I was clearly so friendly and kind!"

He put on an act in front of Mei Shiyu, even calculating the curve of his smile, but it was definitely not a fake smile; it revealed a joy more genuine than real gold.

Even a dog wags its tail vigorously when it sees a big bone, so who can resist grinning like an idiot when they see someone they like? He was just afraid that if he laughed too happily, he would be mistaken for a lunatic, so he had to control his excitement and deliberately keep his laughter to himself.

Mei Shiyu didn't understand his many complicated thoughts.

They immediately questioned him about his intentions.

Li Tingyun either remained silent or gave irrelevant answers.

Seeing that Mei Shiyu was about to leave, he forcefully pulled her back and pressed her to the ground, saying, "You should stay here to recover. The spiritual energy here is abundant."

Mei Shiyu still had injuries, mostly caused by demonic energy. Some of these injuries came from hell, and others from the Demon Abyss. To heal, he needed to expend spiritual energy to completely remove the demonic energy from his body before the wounds could heal themselves.

The most strenuous part is the "detoxification" process, which requires him to spend a lot of time and energy to remove the demonic energy that clashes with his immortal body.

Actually, if he didn't mind Li Tingyun touching him, the process would be much simpler.

Li Tingyun could easily help him absorb most of the demonic energy.

But seeing Mei Shiyu's extremely suspicious demeanor, it was impossible to even get close to him, let alone touch him.

Li Tingyun said sincerely, "I'm telling you the truth, this place is the core of the formation, full of spiritual energy, you'll recover soon."

“I can’t get better! Seeing you makes me feel worse! You…” Mei Shiyu angrily cursed him as a big bad guy.

"What? What?" Li Tingyun seemed not to have heard clearly and pressed, "Say it again, what am I?"

Mei Shiyu's face turned red. "I'm telling you, you're a bad apple... Do you enjoy being scolded so much?!"

Li Tingyun said happily, "I love it. I love it so much."

"Besides this, is there anything else you want to criticize?"

He said expectantly, "Give me a few more insults."

"No more, no more!" Mei Shiyu exclaimed, her face flushed red.

"I hate using those filthy words to belittle others. You are truly wicked, which is why I couldn't help but swear. But you...you are so shameless, Li Tingyun!"

Dirty, degrading.

His wording was increasingly "unexpected".

Li Tingyun's mother was laughing hysterically.

Mei Xianzun has a good sense of humor, and even when she's angry, she's incredibly cute. There's no reason not to like her.

Li Tingyun looked at him with a smile.

When he's around, I can't help but look at him, and when I look at him, I can't help but smile. In front of him, every glance, every movement, every word is an irresistible expression of emotion.

"I was wrong," Li Tingyun finally admitted.

At that moment, a sense of despair, of being trapped in a dead end, suddenly welled up in my heart.

His mistake was that he was too clever for his own good, and his cleverness backfired.

He always thought that his own wishful thinking wouldn't be a burden to anyone, but there's a saying in this world, "love is hard to control," and he's always thinking about it, so who knows when he might "lose control" himself.

He has made mistakes, many times.

I sneaked into Tianyi Pavilion at night, glimpsed the snow at the Dream Daoist Hut, and met him for the first time in Fengdu, where we stole a kiss and formed a spell seal.

Now, he has completely "brought" people to his side.

This is enough to show that his unreasonable desires were the biggest threat to Mei Shiyu.

What can be done? There is nothing that can be done.

Mei Shiyu spent the next six months recuperating and healing at the Taiji Hall.

Li Tingyun lifted the curse for him, but only half of it. Why do I say that? Because it could relapse at any time, and he didn't know when it would happen.

Mei Shiyu doesn't believe a damn thing!

I prefer to believe that he did it on purpose, deliberately, with ill intentions, and that he had planned it all along.

The two sat facing each other, from morning till night, from night till morning, like training a hawk; whoever couldn't hold on any longer would lose.

Li Tingyun: Aren't you tired?

Mei Shiyu: "...Tired."

"Then go to sleep."

Where to sleep?

"On the ground."

"You usually sleep on the floor?"

No. I don't usually sleep.

"Yes, I don't usually sleep either."

Then let's just keep enduring it.

Mei Shiyu: "You killed my senior brother."

Li Tingyun: "Does he deserve it?"

"……what?"

"He's not even worthy of being your senior brother?"

Li Tingyun spoke shrewdly: "I heard that you two have a very bad relationship. He's always targeting you in the Dao Xuan Sect, yet you still acknowledge him as your senior brother?"

Mei Shiyu said softly, "He is Master's eldest disciple. No matter what, I have to acknowledge him as my senior brother."

"Your master is blind, and you are an easy target."

"You can say whatever you want about me, but you can't slander my master!"

"Okay, I admit my mistake. But that weed spirit deserves to die, deserves to die, absolutely deserves to die! Killing him was too easy for him! I wanted to capture him and torture him to the point of wishing he were dead! But I don't want him to live, not even for a single day longer, so he has no choice but to die! Ugh, ugh, ugh! So annoying! Don't mention him to me again!"

As Li Tingyun spoke, he got agitated, his whole body bristling, scratching his ears and cheeks like a wild monkey.

Mei Shiyu stared at him almost breathlessly, not out of fear, but because... their eyes met.

Mei Shiyu actually chuckled.

Li Tingyun: "???"

What's so funny? Although he does look really good when he smiles.
