Chapter Five Hundred and Fifteen: Men's Responsibilities!
Kunxu Realm, Tiancrack Canyon.
In an empty and desolate rocky valley, Zhou Yang and Jiang Fengxian were walking quickly, one behind the other.
Both of them looked a little dazed, not focusing entirely on the journey, and they didn't know what they were thinking about.
At this time, the two of them had just parted ways with Lu Xuanji, a ninth-level Nascent Soul monk, and Zhou Yang was still recalling the previous conversation with Lu Xuanji in his mind.
At that time, seeing his straightforward expression of willingness to help, Lu Xuanji's indifferent face showed a look of satisfaction and joy.
However, in the face of his follow-up inquiries, Lu Xuanji did not explain to him what he was asking for help. He just asked him to arrive at Xuanyang Immortal Sect within ten years after leaving Kunxu Realm.
And as a reward for his willingness to help, Lu Xuanji gave him a jade talisman before he left.
That jade talisman was no stranger to Zhou Yang. It was the "Xuanyang Purple Sky Divine Thunder" jade talisman that Master Qingyang once gave him to use.
The difference is that the jade talisman that Lu Xuanji gave him was made after his cultivation reached the late Yuanying stage. It was so powerful that even a monk in the early stage of Yuanying would be seriously injured after being hit by it.
This item is even more precious than a sixth-level magic weapon, because it is a super trump card that can truly allow Zhou Yang to make a comeback after encountering a life-or-death danger.
After Zhou Yang got this thing, he immediately felt much more at ease about the upcoming trip to "Holy Infant Valley".
With this treasure in hand, even if he encounters any danger, this thing can help him avoid disaster. This must be Lu Xuanji's intention in giving this treasure to him.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yang remembered another thing.
When bidding farewell to Lu Xuanji, because of his inquiry, Lu Xuanji also briefly told him the origin of the monk surnamed Yin, and explained the real reason for Muzhao's death.
When he heard that the monk surnamed Yin was a monk from the Great Light Immortal Palace and could control the "Eye of Light" from the air to kill the mandrill, Zhou Yang was really shocked and stunned.
At the same time, he was very happy in his heart. He was glad that he did not say that the "Eye of Light" was his own. Otherwise, if the monk surnamed Yin were to investigate, he would really not know how to explain this matter.
After all, from the perspective of the monk surnamed Yin, his behavior of not returning the relics of the monks of the Great Light Immortal Palace after obtaining them was definitely worthy of death.
Fortunately, the monk surnamed Yin was still practicing the "Eye of Light" at that time and had no time to pay attention to him. The look of horror on his face was also regarded by Lu Xuanji as awe for the power of the seventh-level immortal weapon, which made him feel uncomfortable.
He escaped by luck.
Because of this incident, Zhou Yang originally wanted to ask Lu Xuanji to check Qin Yue'er's condition in the "Netherworld Xuan Coffin", but he had to temporarily restrain himself.
He didn't want to suffer any setbacks because of this matter, and he didn't want to stay with Lu Xuanji any longer to increase the chance of exposing himself.
So he said goodbye to Lu Xuanji quickly.
At this time, after recalling the exchange with Lu Xuanji and finding no major omissions, Zhou Yang felt much relieved.
Then he came back to his senses and glanced back at Jiang Fengxian, who was following silently behind him. Seeing that she was in a trance and looking lost, he quickly stopped, looked at her with concern and said: "Fengxian, your
Your body... your body is fine, do you want us to find a safer place to rest for a few days before setting off?"
After Jiang Fengxian heard what he said, she first paused, glared at him with a sullen expression, and then asked without answering, "What are you going to do?"
"What? What to do?"
Zhou Yang's heart suddenly jumped, but his face looked astonished, and he looked at Jiang Fengxian in confusion.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Fengxian's pretty face suddenly flashed with anger. She looked at him with an annoyed face and snorted: "Huh, you still want to pretend to be stupid. Are you just trying to eat everything and not admit it?"
After saying that, her face darkened again, and she continued with a mocking tone: "Do you still think that I, Jiang Fengxian, am the kind of little woman who stalks and hangs herself on your tree, Zhou Yang? I can't live without you.
!”
Coming, coming!
Zhou Yang lamented in his heart, knowing that what he was most worried about had happened.
Ever since he regained consciousness in the blue cauldron, he had been thinking about how to deal with this matter.
But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
Of course adults want it all.
But Zhou Yang knew very well that such an arrogant female cultivator as Jiang Fengxian would definitely not be willing to commit herself to being his concubine.
He didn't even dare to mention it in front of her because he knew it would only be regarded as an insult by her.
But if Jiang Fengxian does not become a concubine, his position as the official Taoist companion has been promised to Xiao Ying for many years.
The relationship between the two has lasted for more than two hundred years, and it is even more impossible for him to let Xiao Ying lower herself to become a concubine and give up the position of the official Taoist couple to Jiang Fengxian. In that case, what is the difference between him, Zhou Yang, and that Chen Shimei?
This incident really made Zhou Yang's head spin, so much so that he had an escape mentality and didn't want to think about it.
Now that he heard Jiang Fengxian mention this matter, he knew something was going to happen.
This is to force him to show his cards!
"Ahem, Fengxian, don't be angry. Don't you still know what kind of person I, Zhou Yang, am? How could I do such an irresponsible thing?"
Zhou Yang coughed a few words and made a righteous statement first, showing that he would be responsible to the end.
Then he changed the subject, but he did not say how he was responsible. He just looked at Jiang Fengxian with admiration and said: "Furthermore, Fengxian, you have always been the strange woman I admire most. You are a hero among women. Zhou has traveled in the world of immortality for many years."
Over the past hundred years, I have seen many female cultivators, including many Golden Core cultivators, but none of them can give me this feeling like you, Fengxian, and make me admire you from the bottom of my heart."
It can be clearly seen that after Jiang Fengxian heard his words, the evil aura on her pretty face immediately dissipated a lot. That charming face suddenly glowed with a moving radiance like ice melting, and it was so beautiful.
Zhou Yang suffocated.
He stared blankly at that pretty face, his mind filled with the things that happened in the blue cauldron a few days ago.
It was not the things that happened when both of them lost their will, but the things that happened after their will gradually recovered, prompted by the residual silver poison and some strange feeling.
The things that happened in the waking state really made Zhou Yang deeply understand why the ancients had the emotion of "die under peonies, and it's also romantic to be a ghost."
At that time, didn't he just feel that as long as he could enjoy himself for once, it would be worth his while to die!
He thought about those things and looked at Jiang Fengxian's eyes, which changed unknowingly.
Jiang Fengxian sensed the change in his gaze, and somehow some pictures emerged in her mind.
Then her face turned red, her eyes widened as she stared at Zhou Yang and spat: "Don't try to coax me with these sweet words. What are you going to do? Just answer me honestly!"
"I……"
Zhou Yang opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
If he knew what to do, he would have taken the initiative to mention this matter long ago, why should he keep dragging it out!
So he opened his mouth and said bravely: "Fengxian, you know my situation, who I am, Zhou Yang, and you also know that since we have had that kind of relationship, I will definitely be responsible to you to the end, but
,only……"
"It's just that you can't give me what I want, can you?"
Jiang Fengxian looked at him with an ugly face and helped him say the unfinished words, her voice was cold and scary.
Zhou Yang's heart felt cold and he couldn't care so much anymore. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, looked at her sincerely and said, "Fengxian, don't be angry. I know that saying this may make you uncomfortable.
But think about it, if I, Zhou Yang, did something like abandoning a Taoist couple of hundreds of years for you, would you really be happy? Would you really still be willing to become a Taoist couple with such a man? "
"You see, we are all immortal cultivators, and what we pursue is eternal life and freedom. As long as we can walk hand in hand in the future, join the road together, and be a couple of immortals who are free in the world, the so-called status, whether we have it or not, doesn't matter.
What about the relationship?"
"If you are really worried, I can make a Tao Heart Oath to ensure that in my heart and actions, I will treat you just like a true Taoist companion!"
His expression was sincere and earnest, and his tone was sincere and firm. No one who saw or heard him would doubt the authenticity of his words.
Jiang Fengxian's face also changed several times because of his words. Her pretty face showed anger for a while, hesitation and contemplation for another moment, and unwillingness for another moment. It was very complicated.
She looked at Zhou Yang with a complex expression, and gently twitched her hand, but did not pull out the hand tightly held by Zhou Yang, so she no longer forced herself, but said unwillingly: "That Taoist monk of yours, really let me
Are you so reluctant to give up?"
"This is not a reluctance, but a responsibility, a responsibility that men should bear!"
"Just like Fengxian, you want me to be responsible for you. Since I promised Ying'er that I would take good care of her for the rest of my life, I can't betray her sincerity towards me!"
Zhou Yang grabbed her hand tightly and responded with a serious face.
When Jiang Fengxian heard what he said, her face couldn't help but soften. A responsible man will never be bad.
But just when Zhou Yang thought he could pass the test this way, he received another free proposition!
"Then let me ask you, regardless of responsibilities, do you prefer me or her in your heart?"
Jiang Fengxian looked at Zhou Yang seriously, waiting for his answer.
Zhou Yang frowned, lowered his head in thought, his face was tangled, and he was thinking hard...
After a long time passed, he said to Jiang Fengxian with a distressed look on his face: "I don't know. I like both of you, and you each have your own advantages that I like. I don't know how to answer your question."
"I know what you want to hear, Fengxian. If I tell you now that I like you more, it will certainly make you happy, but I don't want to lie to you!"
"Similarly, if Ying'er asks me this, I will never say that I like her more without conscience, because I know that would also be harmful to you, Fengxian!"
Jiang Fengxian didn't expect that he would answer like this, and was stunned for a moment.
