The villain always thinks I'm stupid

Regarding the imminent destruction of the world, Bai Lian clearly felt the fact when he entered the ninth level.

Only when you reach the ninth level can you see through the secrets.

The more the sea of ​​trees dries up, the thinner the aura becomes, and if things go on like this, it will eventually come to an end.

It is precisely because of this that Zhenjun Shenglian, who felt bored, decided to let himself fall into a deep sleep, and then wake up from it when facing a crisis, leading the rest of the people to tear apart the space and go to the next world where they can live in peace.

But when Bai Lian inadvertently woke up, he suddenly found that the sea of ​​trees was drying up more slowly than he had imagined. Although he didn't know the reason, it was still a good thing.

He thought that he would have more time to slowly explore the truth of the world, but he never expected that Yan Zhao would bring him to this place.

"You prevented the depletion of the sea of ​​trees?" After much deliberation, Bai Lian could only think of this possibility.

"That's right." Yan Zhao's lips curled up, and there were a few obvious smiles in his eyes.

This surprised Bai Lian, he knew that Yan Zhao should be very capable, but even he couldn't prevent the destruction of the world, how could Yan Zhao do it?

As if understanding his confusion, Yan Zhao glanced at Ye Mingjue lightly, and explained: "This involves the Ye clan, as well as Ye Mingjue—about your birth."

Even though Ye Mingjue's brain spins faster, he can barely accept the truth that the world is about to be destroyed, but Yan Zhao's words made him frown suddenly.

Yan Zhaodao: "When you were born, there was a vision in the sky, and you knew everything in a hundred miles. The world said that you are a genius who cultivates immortals. Maybe you can become the next True Monarch Shenglian."

At this time, Bai Lian also turned her head to look at Ye Mingjue, only to see a trace of stiffness appear on the originally dignified Mozun's face, and she subconsciously clenched her palms tightly.

He didn't want to talk about this matter, and almost never mentioned it since he infiltrated the Devil's Cult at the age of seven.

Because it inevitably made Ye Mingjue think of Ye Shi, and of that warm home. If he continues to grow up like this, he will definitely become the pride of Ye Shi. Unfortunately, a fire destroyed everything, and he is no longer The young master of the Ye family can't become the proud son of heaven among the people.

But facing Yan Zhao's smile and Bai Lian's gaze, he remained silent for a while, and said sarcastically, "What's the point of bringing this up now? Isn't this all a good thing you did? It will only make me want to kill you even more. Just you."

"Oh? Could it be that you really thought that the vision came from yourself?" Yan Zhao looked at him with interest, and shook his head amusedly, "It seems that your family has never told you the truth, what a pity. "

Ye MingJue's eyes gradually turned cold: "What do you mean?"

Yan Zhao said: "Have you been wearing a jade pendant since you can remember? Have your parents ever warned you that the jade pendant is a very important thing, and you must protect it carefully when you go there?"

Ye MingJue paused, and realized that what he said was indeed true.

When he was young, his mother always hugged him tenderly and told him that he would become an existence looked up to by everyone, but at the same time, she would always remind him at the end to protect Yupei, don't tell anyone, don't let anyone touches.

He always thought that this jade pendant was a secret treasure of the family and was very important, but after the clan was exterminated, this jade pendant was also buried in the sea of ​​fire, so he never mentioned it again.But when Yan Zhao mentioned it like this, he realized something was wrong.

"The jade pendant... is your goal?"

Ye Mingjue said suspiciously.

"It seems that you are not so stupid." Yan Zhao looked up at the sky, as if recalling the episode a hundred years ago, "I have never heard of an example of a child being born with a vision, so I quickly judged that among them has a problem."

"I visited Patriarch Ye and observed you as a baby up close. As I expected, you are no different."

"Then what is the reason for this vision? What made Patriarch Ye not hesitate to push out his son to protect him?"

His words echoed in Ye Mingjue's heart.

Ye Mingjue was stunned at the same place at first, and then his brows and eyes became a little bit puzzled and surprised: "The jade pendant...appeared in Ye's together with me?"

"To be precise, you held that jade pendant when you were born." Yan Zhao nodded, "The vision of that day also originated from the jade pendant."

Bai Lian and Ye Mingjue thought about it together. Although he knew the truth through Yan Zhao's reminder, this was the first time he heard the specific details.

Of course, he still has many doubts: "What is the use of the jade pendant?"

"This has something to do with you, True Monarch Shenglian." Unexpectedly, Yan Zhao brought the topic to him.

Bai Lian blinked her eyes and made a gesture of listening respectfully, but Yan Zhao suddenly led them to the largest and densest ancient tree among them, and with a wave of his sleeves, the thin mist dissipated, and a piece of exquisite spiritual Jade floated in front of them.

This is the piece of precious jade.

There was a beautiful radiance flowing on the jade pendant, and the moment Bai Lian walked in, a bright radiance suddenly burst out.

A similar stream of light appeared in Bai Lian's light brown eyes, and he was startled for a moment.

He actually felt a familiar breath emanating from the jade pendant, affecting his spiritual power and his heart.

And this spiritual power is continuously supplying the surrounding sea of ​​trees, nourishing the vitality of the sea of ​​trees.

"This is……"

Bai Lian was a little obsessed, and stretched out her hand towards Yupei with her eyes distracted.

And the jade pendant seemed to be responding to him, slowly drifting towards him, and was easily held in his hand.

"My idea is indeed correct." Yan Zhao said happily, "This Lingyu has a lot to do with you, or it is your same origin."

"...I can feel the connection between us." Bai Lian looked at the jade pendant in his hand with some confusion, and felt a sense of peace in his chest that he had never felt before, "But..."

He glanced at Ye MingJue beside him, very strange: "Shouldn't this be yours?"

Of course Ye Mingjue was also very confused, the two looked at Yan Zhao together, hoping that he could explain.

Yan Zhao explained from the beginning: "I sent people to sneak into the Ye family to investigate, and soon discovered the extraordinaryness of this jade pendant, and I had collected the magic weapon of Zhenjun Shenglian before, and felt the familiar power of the same origin. .”

"Because of doubts, I asked my subordinates who can see through the sky to carefully calculate and calculate, and finally found that the aura in this jade pendant can nourish the sea of ​​trees and slow down the speed of the world's depletion."

"So I went to Ye's again to explain the reason, hoping to borrow the jade pendant to nourish the sea of ​​trees."

Speaking of this, Ye Mingjue's Adam's apple moved with difficulty, and he could hardly believe what happened next.

It was true that he had foreseen the tragedy, and why it had happened.

But he still stared at Yan Zhao, trying to analyze every word the other said.

"—but Mrs. Ye refused."

The next moment, Yan Zhao uttered a sentence that made him worry, and then another sentence:

"I thought they didn't believe what I said, so I personally led the Patriarch into the sea of ​​trees and promised to give them some compensation."

"But they still refused."

Yan Zhao looked back into Ye Mingjue's eyes, with an indifferent smile on his lips: "Why is this? The Ye family is a famous family, respected and looked up to by the world of cultivating immortals. But they choose to refuse to save this world. As Their son, can you understand?"

"..."

For a moment, Ye Mingjue's blood was cold all over his body, and even his breathing stopped.

He clenched his arms tightly, refusing to believe what Yan Zhao said. His parents and his clan members were all people with the world in mind, and they were definitely not the selfish people that Yan Zhao said!

He doesn't believe it!

Yan Zhao was not surprised that he didn't reply for a long time: "You may not understand, but I can understand."

Under the gaze of Ye Mingjue who suddenly raised his eyes, Yan Zhao smiled slowly: "Because I am this kind of person, always thinking of myself, always only caring about the people I care about. And your parents are only because of this jade pendant." It is only good for you, they hope that you can become the second True Lord Shenglian, and hope that you can stand at the top of the world, so they choose to give up the world. After all, there is still some time before the sea of ​​trees will dry up."

"Because I'm such a person, I didn't waste any more words, and I didn't have to persuade in a roundabout way. I only have one next action, and it is also the most convenient and quickest way——"

"Destroy Ye Shi!"

Ye Mingjue's breathing stagnated suddenly, he felt dizzy and his mind went blank.

Only Yan Zhao appeared with a sarcastic smile on his face: "I'm not a good person, and I'm not trying to excuse myself. I'm the one who killed your clan. You can hate me all you want."

"But the truth of the matter is here, and no slander is allowed."

Ye Mingjue didn't believe it, he should not have believed it... But Yan Zhao said it too calmly, and he didn't bother to defend himself, maybe... this is really the truth, his parents didn't choose to save Shuhai, so Tragedy was wiped out.

Although Ye Mingjue came out of the Devil's Sect, he was quite rigid and law-abiding in his bones. He always believed that his Ye family's mission was to save all sentient beings and was respected and admired by everyone. He was also proud of such a Ye family.

Yip lives in his best memory and does not allow a single drop of contamination.

But now, Yan Zhao's words shattered his fantasy, allowing him to see the dark and cold side.

He doesn't want to accept it, he feels pain, he feels lost.

Bai Lian listened to this story with emotion, and didn't know how to comfort Ye Mingjue. If he, who was indifferent and indifferent to everything a thousand years ago, stood in Yan Zhao's position, he might also use all means to snatch the jade pendant. For one thing, he didn't fluctuate in the slightest.

But this does not mean that Yan Zhao's behavior is correct, but Bai Lian is just a bystander, a person who has witnessed everything. How to deal with Yan Zhao is Ye Mingjue's decision. He only needs to support Ye Mingjue. up.

After dismissing Ye Mingjue, Yan Zhao appreciated the other party's expression in a good mood, and then turned to Bai Lian's face:

"As for the connection between this jade pendant and you."

"True Lord Shenglian, do you believe in past lives?"
