The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

"Well, there's no need for that. I don't really want any more useless things."

Cui Yujun was truly terrified.

Is this trajectory real? Could she be dead and dreaming?

"puff."

Mo Lin keenly heard a laugh and quickly pulled the person inside.

The already small barrier now had twice as many people, five people stacked on top of each other, not daring to utter a sound.

"Why are you here?"

Apart from Yuan Ye, who was in seclusion, the entire Paw Patrol team was present.

"The sect leader sent me to find Senior Sister Tianwu," Jinxuan replied.

"Master sent me to find Junior Uncle and bring you here," Yan Qing replied.

"What do you want from me?" Lin Du asked, and Xia Tianwu asked in the same way with his eyes, conveying the same meaning.

The two younger ones spoke at the same time, "We have important matters to discuss."

Lin Du: What kind of nonsense literature is this?

She raised her hand and pressed her temples. "Okay, we'll talk about it after the show."

"So what are they showing now? A tragic love story of life and death?" Yan Qing asked excitedly, looking at the two people.

Lin Du glanced at the overly excited Yan Qing, thinking, "This is unbecoming of a scholar, unbecoming of a scholar."

"That's not necessarily true," Lin Du said.

"But he's willing to give himself to him!" Ni Jinxuan whispered, "and even willing to die for him!"

He absolutely loves it!

Lin Du: ... numb

"This isn't love, this is brain disease." Lin Du, who had been crossing his arms, tapped Ni Jinxuan's head after hearing this.

"If we go any further, then our Dao heart will be compromised."

When emotionally driven behavior crosses the line of moral boundaries and behavioral norms that were originally upheld, it is no longer just a common psychological problem, but can even be described as pathological.

"When emotions involve life, death, debts, and regrets, it's no longer just about love. Is it obsession, guilt, remorse, or making amends? All self-destructive behavior is nothing more than trying to put an end to the tormented heart."

"Remember the suspension bridge effect I mentioned a few years ago?"

The moment someone rushes to your aid without hesitation, the overwhelming sense of shared destiny blurs the boundaries of all emotions.

Lin Du still has doubts about the true nature of Wu Xi's feelings for Cui Yujun.

But sometimes feelings are just that ambiguous.

Only by comparing the two can the truth be revealed.

Ni Jinxuan seemed to understand but not quite, while Xia Tianwu seemed lost in thought.

She had always felt that Cui Yujun was too contradictory. She couldn't see any deep love for Wu Xi in Cui Yujun's words, yet she risked her life to save Wu Xi twice, cutting off her path and giving her life for him.

But it seems to have no basis and is untenable in every aspect.

So, is it the influence of the spirit that Lin Du removed from Cui Yujun's consciousness that day?

That would be truly harmful.

The victim stared blankly at the person kneeling upright in front of him, and suddenly felt a pang of regret for some reason.

How did the once-promising prodigy of Guiyuan Sect, who was most likely to challenge the sword genius Mo Lin, become like this?

Wu Xi heard her answer, then slowly bent down, her back hunched, "Then Wu Xi is willing to take care of Senior Sister forever."

Cui Yujun took another step back. "Stand up. Don't kowtow. The way you're saying that makes it sound like you're acknowledging a godmother and expecting to take care of me in my old age."

Wu Xi was a little stunned, but she still stood up. "You saved my life, twice."

Cui Yujun said with some difficulty, "That's my own business, it has nothing to do with you."

She was forced into it.

If I were to give her another chance... oh, there's no chance.

She wanted to go home.

She actually never had any friends here.

Even Wu Xi wasn't considered her friend.

Cui Yujun held back for a long time, but still couldn't ask the question that was on her mind. She turned her head and said, "I don't want to die of old age. I've done so many good deeds in this life, saving lives is a good deed. I'll definitely be rich and powerful in my next life! Don't worry about it. Let me stay in the Supreme Sect for the rest of my life."

Lin Du lowered his eyes and rubbed his fingers. "Yan Qing, let's go. All you do all day is pry into other people's privacy. It's an insult to your civility."

Yan Qing: ? Huh? Didn't you guys start spying here first?

Xia Tian, ​​without hearing this, turned and went to the main peak.

Seeing that Xia Tian had left, Mo Lin took Jin Xuan back to his own peak for training. Ju Yuan had suddenly said last night that he wanted to go into seclusion to break through to the Qian Yuan Realm, so now only he could teach his junior sister.

Cang Li was waiting for Lin Du. He had set out the tea set, with a suona and a jade flute beside him. He started brewing tea once he realized that Lin Du was almost there.

Lin Du sat down opposite Cang Li with practiced ease. "Second Senior Brother was looking for me?"

Her gaze fell on the two musical instruments, and her fake smile froze.

"After Yuan Ye successfully forms his core, I will go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Qian Yuan Realm," Cang Li said. "Although my senior sister and sixth junior brother will help guide me, please take care of my mental state for me."

Lin Du is naturally perceptive, and although he is young, he is more mature than Yuan Ye, so he is at ease.

But Lin Du was more perceptive than he had imagined.

"Is there something wrong?" Lin Du asked.

If it were just Ju Yuan, she might not think too much, but with both of them together, it's hard for her not to overthink it.

Cang Li's hand moved towards the musical instrument on the table. Lin Du's face twisted in pain. "Senior brother, I'm really fine. Does it have to be like this?"

The slender hand moved past the suona and onto the jade flute. Lin Du's expression changed instantly. "You still have this soul-destroying senior brother?"

"I didn't explain things to you the other day, but Fengchao said that rather than letting you overthink, it's better to just tell you directly."

Lin Du understood after Cang Li said that.

"Is it related to Wenfu?"

She named names, but Cang Li's expression darkened.

"Your seventh senior sister and Wenfu entered the sect together. Wenfu is very smart, and his intelligence is no less than yours."

Cang Li glanced at Lin Du, too embarrassed to reveal the rest of the conclusion.

Feng Yi actually felt that Wen Fu and Lin Du were the same kind of people.

They are molded by the world at a young age and have their own set of rules for dealing with things. They are like self-formed stone sculptures, and others cannot easily change their temperament and ideas, nor can they shake their thoughts.

They enjoy exploiting loopholes in the rules, understanding people's hearts, and seeking maximum profit. They are also exceptionally talented, quick to draw inferences from one thing to another, and love to absorb all kinds of knowledge.

But Lin Du was more stubborn, while Wen Fu was more tactful.

Now Wenfu has become something none of his senior brothers and sisters expected, and Fengyi is even less willing to let Lindu go astray.

"So it was him? Turning people into demons?" Lin Du picked up a cup of tea, his voice calm. "And is he now too?"

"I don't know." Cang Li stroked the jade flute. "This person's soul does indeed show obvious traces of secret arts. He has long forgotten his past life and only has the instinct and memory of becoming the Painted Skin Monster."

"Given the nature of the Luoshu Sect members, they'd probably rather their disciple were dead by now." Lin Du finished his tea in two gulps, then casually set down his cup. "Is that all?"

"If Wenfu also became a dual-soul entity in the Lanju Secret Realm that day, just like this person, then perhaps his study of that secret technique was for self-salvation. That would also explain why his body was deformed in the scene that day."

"But the successive mishaps of Mo Lin, Yuan Ye, and Tian Wu make me suspect that Wen Fu has ulterior motives."

Cang Li's voice deepened, "If possible, tell your master about this. Perhaps you will gain something from it."

Lin Du raised his eyes. "A gift from Heaven? He can't possibly be planning to double-cross us, can he?"

Cang Li sighed, unusually unrefined, "Junior Sister, try not to think too much. Aren't you tired?"

He put down the jade flute and touched the suona. "Come on, come on, your spiritual sense is still a little lacking."

Lin Du tried to flee, but Cang Li used his spiritual power to pull him back. "You have a big competition in two years! Don't you want to win? This is your last chance!"

Lin Du: ...Fine, fine, I really can't do anything with you guys. Just say you want me to get first place.
