She didn't believe it at all, because she worked so hard and was so talented, how could she not be as good as that man?

She didn't believe it, and she didn't accept it!

She thought that her ruthless path had reached its peak, and based on the Ji Mo she met in her previous life, she was very sure that she had surpassed the heartless emperor countless times!

So her achievements in the ruthless path must be higher, and not just a little bit higher.

"Could it be that I overlooked something? It shouldn't be... I worked so hard and carefully, and I didn't miss any clues. How could I have missed anything?"

The more she talked to herself, the more worried she became.

"Ahem..."

Suddenly at this time, a cough came from somewhere in the palace where she was practicing.

She raised her eyes, and the sadness on her face disappeared instantly, and she was covered with coldness. The imperial power on her body spread out, but before it spread for long, she immediately took it back.

"Are you awake?" Lan Shuangning said.

"I woke up a long time ago."

At this time, Ning Qiandu, who was pale, walked out from behind the pillar next to her. It can be seen that she is still very weak, but there is no problem walking, after all, she can still use true qi.

"What's the matter?" Lan Shuangning didn't look at her, and continued to play with the ice crystal in her hand, thinking ruthlessly.

"Thank you for saving me."

"You came here just to say this?"

"Of course not, I heard that you practiced the Wuqing Jue?"

"Yes, didn't you practice it too?"

Lan Shuangning raised her head, and she found that she couldn't concentrate on exploring the avenue when facing this woman.

Maybe it was because this woman didn't call her "Your Majesty", which made her very uncomfortable. Maybe it was because this woman had the same experience as her, or maybe it was because she really wanted to say a few words to someone who didn't kneel down when she met her...

"Yes, I practiced, but it wasn't as successful as yours."

Ning Qiandu said, without asking Lan Shuangning if she agreed to sit down, she walked to a stone chair next to her and sat down.

Lan Shuangning didn't care about her casualness, but asked: "Why did you suddenly practice the Ruthless Art?"

"I'm sad. The man I loved for so long doesn't love me. He only knows how to take care of other women and doesn't even look at me."

As he spoke, Ning Qiandu showed a bitter smile on his face.

Looking at the smile on her face, Lan Shuangning frowned slightly again and said: "Are you sure you practiced the Ruthless Art?"

Ning Qiandu's expression was stunned for a moment, and she didn't understand why Lan Shuangning asked this question, but after a short time she smiled: "Do you think I don't look like a person who practices the Ruthless Art now?"

"Do you think you look like one?"

"In your eyes, people who practice the Ruthless Art must be cold and ruthless on the surface?" Ning Qiandu asked back.

"If your heart is cold, can you still be warm on the surface?" Lan Shuangning asked back again.

Ning Qiandu shook his head and smiled: "Actually, I came here this time just to tell you that it's better not to practice this Ruthless Art."

"For me, Ruthless Art is just an auxiliary. I have my own way and my own practice. There are not many places where it can be used."

"Then I also advise you not to explore the Ruthless Road anymore."

"Tell me the reason."

"There is no way to go down this road. The so-called Ruthless Road is actually the root of all things, but some negative emotions." Ning Qiandu said: "I never thought about these things before, but since I fell into a coma, I suddenly figured it out."

"You can continue to speak more clearly, at least I don't feel bored talking to you." Lan Shuangning said.

"Let me put it this way. Why did I practice the Ruthless Art? What was the reason? It started out of jealousy, and the end was just to get someone's attention. Am I right?"

"I am different from you, not only in the process, but also in the end."

"You may have put the wrong emphasis. I am not saying whether you are because of someone or jealousy. I am just saying that the source of motivation for all ruthlessness is a kind of emotion, and in the end, it is the hope of getting another kind of emotion." Ning Qiandu said.

"..."

Lan Shuangning suddenly had nothing to say. She thought about it and realized that she did become like this because of the death of Sister Tianmei. All the ruthless ways started out of anger, anger at her own incompetence.

She started the ruthless way, but the end was also because of emotion, wanting to get something, to get Sister Tianmei's forgiveness, to get the forgiveness of all the demons...

As for Ji Mo, she hated this man now. Yes, the ultimate goal of her ruthless way was to hate this man and punish this man.

She thought it was because of this man's sudden ruthlessness that she had been so infatuated with him, and that she almost destroyed the entire demon race.

"You may be right, but I don't think the ruthless path is a wrong path." Lan Shuangning said, "Among the ancients, there are many who became emperors by the ruthless path. Why are their ruthless paths so smooth?"

"Maybe you just saw their most glorious moments, but you don't know that they all abdicated the throne in the end, retired somewhere, or died because of the collapse of the path." Ning Qiandu said.

"This emperor has read a lot, you can't fool me."

"What is written in the book is not necessarily true."

"Then I will continue to practice."

"Then I won't persuade you anymore." Ning Qiandu said, "But I hope you can remember what I said to you today. It may be useful when you can't practice anymore. My body is still quite convenient now. I will go back in a few days. Thank you for saving my life."

"Go to the cultivation world to find him?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe I will let go of everything by then."

Ning Qiandu turned around and left the palace gently, while Lan Shuangning looked at her leaving figure with a slight frown on her face.

This was not in line with her previous personality. She usually didn't frown unless she encountered a very difficult problem.

After a long time, she decided to continue practicing. Theory is theory after all, and practice is the final proof. This principle is not only widely used in the secular world.

But in the next few days, she did find that the ruthless road could not be studied any further.

She is very strong now, very, very strong, even surpassing all the ruthless roads since ancient times. It can even be said that no one since ancient times has ever been able to comprehend the ruthless road to her level.

Therefore, she didn't know who could have walked this road to the end, or rather... this road was broken.
