A palpable resistance seed to push back, and the jade was flung away!
Seeing this, Gu Witch was imdiately stunned, and the two maids outside were also shocked.
"Impossible!" Gu Witch exclaid, unable to believe it.
After the Miss Sword Jade was given to Brother Wang, not only did he accept it, but it later appeared in the Reincarnation Mirror, proving he had feelings for her.
Normally, if the two halves of the Miss Sword Jade were separated, they could be rged again if both holders had feelings for one another. Even a shred of feeling was enough for them to be pieced together, albeit at a slower pace.
Only if there were absolutely no feelings between them would such a rebound occur before they even touched, rendering the jade completely unrgeable!
She had originally given away this Jade Sword to verify their feelings for each other later on.
Now, looking at the two halves of the Jade Sword blown apart, Gu Witch's face turned pale, her eyes desolate.
Brother Wang... had no feelings for her at all? How could this be? If he had no feelings at all, why would he risk his life to co here? Even in his identity as Brother Qin, there should be so feelings, right?
Gu Witch's eyes glistened, her heart trembled, and vaguely, it felt as if sothing within her was shattering.
"This is the end."
At the sa ti, a figure in bright red slowly materialized. It was Mu Lanxue.
"I told you long ago that n from the Sword Sect are heartbreakers," Mu Lanxue said indifferently. "You wouldn't listen. I told you to sever this affection long ago, but you didn't believe and still harbored a glimr of hope. Do you understand now?"
Gu Witch bit her lip, her expression stubborn.
Mu Lanxue walked over to her beloved disciple, her voice softening. "Little Gu, this man isn't worth it. If you really want to find a Taoist couple, the others, though sowhat lacking, aren't completely out of the question. And if you're truly unwilling, switching to another cultivation technique is also an option."
"There's no need to get so hung up on this one tree."
"Besides, this little sapling of his can't even protect himself, let alone support you."
… Wang Mu thought, speechless.
He finally understood why Mu Hongyuan had wanted him to et 'Brother Qin.' It seed everything had been within her calculations.
She wanted to use this opportunity to let her beloved disciple sever this emotional tie.
"No…" Gu Witch's expression turned solemn. "I don't believe it… There must be so other reason. I refuse to believe Brother Wang has no feelings for at all…"
"Brother Wang, was it Master who threatened you? Is that why you deliberately said those things?"
Gu Witch looked at Wang Mu, her eyes filled with hope. "If so, just blink. I'll understand…"
Wang Mu remained silent.
"Stubborn!" Mu Lanxue's eyebrows shot up as she scolded, "Why can't you understand? Still clinging to such delusions? He's rely a Foundation Establishnt Realm Cultivator. Given my status, how could I possibly threaten him?"
With that, Mu Lanxue glanced at Wang Mu, a smile playing on her lips that didn't reach her eyes. "Ultimately, it was all his own choice."
Gu Witch shook her head and rushed towards Wang Mu. "I won't believe it! Brother Wang, I need to see if you truly have in your heart!"
Just then, Mu Lanxue hurriedly waved her hand.
Wang Mu instantly vanished from sight.
"What a disgrace!" Mu Lanxue scolded angrily. "I've told you a thousand tis, he doesn't have you in his heart! He won't have any feelings for you, yet you still refuse to wake up! Since that's the case, don't bla for resorting to drastic asures."
"Master… what, what are you planning to do?" Gu Witch panicked.
"Of course, I'm going to throw him into the Heavenly Demon Divine Pond. Since you can't bring yourself to sever ties, then I will help you sever *him*!" Mu Lanxue said coldly.
"Don't…" Gu Witch's pupils contracted as if she had realized so terrible consequence. She hurriedly grabbed Mu Lanxue's shoulders, her body tensing, her expression conflicted, her eyes filled with struggle. "Master, please, let think about it…"
"Then think carefully…" Mu Lanxue flicked her sleeve and disappeared on the spot.
「Fengyue Valley, the back mountain.」
Wang Mu was silent.
He had known this trip to the Fengyue Sect would be incredibly challenging, but he hadn't expected this…
A mont later, Mu Hongyuan appeared.
"Do you have anything to say?" she asked blandly.
"Can I leave?" Wang Mu asked.
"What do you think?"
Wang Mu was speechless.
Of course, I think I should be able to leave.
But looking at the situation, it seed he really couldn't leave after all.
"Brother Mu, you didn't actually think..." Mu Hongyuan said indifferently, "that I would let you go this ti just because of that flower, did you? Do you still rember the promise we made back then?"
Wang Mu fell silent.
Their agreent back then had been rather harsh. After they pledged their love, the future they envisioned together was quite romantic. However, because Mu Hongyuan had been abandoned by her father, she had stipulated that if either of them dared to break their vow or abandon the other, she would ensure the betrayer t a grueso end.
"I…" Wang Mu moved his lips.
"You could say you haven't abandoned **," Mu Hongyuan said coldly. "After all, this past millennium wasn't by anyone's choice. I can understand that; it was out of your control."
Wang Mu was startled.
Such rationality made Wang Mu involuntarily recall the Mu Hongyuan he once knew.
In the ga, as the Palace Master of the Shura Demon Palace, she was a mature witch who had weathered the storms of the Jianghu for decades. Compared to the other heroines, Mu Hongyuan was highly knowledgeable and mostly rational, capable of understanding things from the protagonist's perspective. After joining the protagonist's group, she contributed greatly with her strategies.
However, when it ca to matters of the heart, it was a different story.
A thousand years could change many things.
"You really kept quite a few things from ," Mu Hongyuan stated, her gaze fixed on Wang Mu, her voice chilling. "I initially thought your only close female friends were Yan Qingwu and Mo Xilan. Then there was another one... and who knows how many others I don't even know about."
