Chapter 84: Obsession
Hong Lingbo shook his head upon hearing this and said:
"You must have listened to their nonsense. Actually, none of us have a master-disciple relationship with Brother Qian."
"what?"
Seeing Gongsun Lü'e's blank expression, Lu Wushuang couldn't help but laugh:
"My eldest sister is the leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and she is also the most skilled in martial arts among us."
And then there's my third sister. She's the last disciple of Master Huang of Peach Blossom Island, and her martial arts skills are extremely formidable.
Gongsun Lü'e had been living in seclusion in the Valley of Heartbreak. Although she didn't know anything about the Ancient Tomb Sect or Peach Blossom Island, she could tell from Lu Wushuang's tone that they must be extremely powerful.
So I couldn't help but ask again:
"Fourth Sister, what about you?"
"Me? I can't do it!"
Lu Wushuang sighed and said:
"My master is Li Mochou. She looked down on me and didn't teach me much martial arts. If it weren't for my senior sister secretly teaching me, I probably wouldn't even have the skills I have now."
Li Mochou?
When Gongsun Lü'e heard the name Li Mochou, she suddenly felt that it sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly realized that the other party was actually the new mother that her father was going to marry for her.
Seeing Gongsun Lü'e's wide-eyed, surprised expression, Lu Wushuang continued:
"Actually, when you think about it, my eldest sister is also my senior sister."
However, I am not respectful of teachers at all, and I have no awareness of being a junior.
"Don't you think so, senior sister?"
Lu Wushuang's last words were spoken to Hong Lingbo. Although she didn't have a good impression of Li Mochou, she still respected her senior sister.
Upon hearing this, Hong Lingbo simply shook her head slightly and said:
"No, I'm not like you. I was raised by my master. If my master hadn't saved me, I would have been killed by my enemies when I was very young."
Therefore, my master is like my second parents to me.
But you were brought back by your master. Your master has never truly wanted to take you as his disciple.
Gongsun Lü'e was already somewhat confused, and after hearing Hong Lingbo's words, she became even more bewildered. It took her a long time before she asked in surprise:
"From what you're saying, you two are actually Li Mochou's disciples? And you should both call her 'Master Sister'?"
Doesn't that mean Li Mochou is also a member of the Ancient Tomb Sect?
"Yes, Li Mochou is my senior sister. We came here this time to save her."
Upon hearing Xiaolongnu's words, Gongsun Lü'e suddenly realized what was happening and said:
"Oh dear, Li Mochou is probably still inside waiting to marry my father, so let's hurry and go see her!"
Upon hearing this, the group, led by Gongsun Lü'e, arrived at Li Mochou's room.
At this moment, Li Mochou had changed into a red dress. Although she was over thirty years old, her internal energy was pure, her skin was fair and tender, and there was not a single wrinkle on her face. She looked no different from twenty years old.
In addition, her eyes have softened considerably now, and after shedding the ruthlessness of a demon, she has gained a unique charm.
No wonder Gongsun Zhi was so fascinated by it that he even went so far as to threaten it with the Heartbreak Pill.
Upon seeing Qian Jin, Xiaolongnu, and the others enter, led by Gongsun Lü'e, Li Mochou was slightly taken aback and said:
"What brings you here? Are you here to take revenge on me?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"You and Long'er are fellow disciples, so there isn't much enmity between us."
However, even so, we wouldn't have been able to come and save you if your disciple hadn't pleaded with us so earnestly.
So you should be glad you took on a good apprentice.
Upon hearing this, Li Mochou noticed that Hong Lingbo was also in the crowd. After a moment's thought, she had already guessed the whole story.
It is known that Qian Jin and the others were able to appear here entirely thanks to Hong Lingbo.
So he sighed and said:
"Over the years, I have committed countless evil deeds and indiscriminately killed innocent people in the martial world. Now I have fallen into the Valley of Heartbreak and am poisoned by the Love Flower. This is my just deserts."
Why did you come to save me?
Upon hearing this, Hong Lingbo immediately knelt down and said:
"Master, I was being chased by my enemies back then. If you hadn't saved me and taught me superior martial arts, I wouldn't be where I am today."
So no matter how others see you, you will always be my dearest person in my heart.
Seeing Hong Lingbo's genuine emotions, Li Mochou felt a surge of emotion.
Throughout her life, apart from her childhood memories in the ancient tomb, she has always lived with an obsession with Lu Zhanyuan.
So much so that love turned into hate, and his personality changed drastically.
It wasn't until Qian Jin pointed it out that she gradually realized that she didn't actually love Lu Zhanyuan that much.
Or rather, what she loved was not Lu Zhanyuan at all, but a perfect image she had created in her mind.
That was a strong longing for love after living in the ancient tomb for a long time.
That was just an obsession with love; she couldn't tolerate any difference between the real Lu Zhanyuan and the perfect image she had created.
Therefore, she was a constraint on Lu Zhanyuan; she wanted him to replace the perfect image she had created.
But is that even possible?
Obviously, that was impossible, which is why Lu Zhanyuan wanted to break free from his constraints and ultimately married a woman who was inferior to her in every way.
She always believed that Lu Zhanyuan had betrayed her, but she never considered whether her obsession with Lu Zhanyuan was true love.
After figuring all of this out, Li Mochou suddenly realized that she no longer loved Lu Zhanyuan, who had betrayed her.
When love is gone, so too is hate.
The true nature that had long been lost gradually returned to Li Mochou.
Reflecting on her actions over the years, Li Mochou was filled with remorse, and so she left Chixia Manor alone.
She wandered aimlessly, and accidentally suffered a qi deviation while practicing martial arts near the Valley of Heartbreak. Later, for some unknown reason, she was poisoned by the Love Flower.
If she hadn't been saved by the Valley Master of Heartless Valley, she would probably have died from the poison.
Gongsun Zhi told her that the only antidote to the Love Flower poison in the world was the Heartbreak Pill, and that she needed to take one Heartbreak Pill first to suppress the poison, and then take a second Heartbreak Pill after thirty-six days to be completely cured.
When she was rescued, Gongsun Zhi had already given her a Heartbreak Pill, so she needs to wait in the valley for thirty-six days before she can take a second Heartbreak Pill.
After that, Gongsun Zhi took the opportunity to propose to her. Li Mochou had been traveling the martial arts world for many years, so how could she not know that he was using this to blackmail her?
If she doesn't agree to the other party's request, she'll probably never get the second Heartbreak Pill.
At this time, Li Mochou was heartbroken and full of regret. She knew that as an outcast of the Ancient Tomb, she had no face to return to the Ancient Tomb.
If one could live in seclusion in this deep valley and spend the rest of one's life there, it would be a good choice.
So he didn't refuse.
