As the Universe Turns - Chapter 140

Chapter 140 There Are Love Idiots Here, Not the Wind and the Moon
The entire cell suddenly fell into a deathly silence. The two of them were silent.

Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed. She couldn’t help but think in her heart, what a formidable senior. Amongst so many people, she actually recognized herself as the person from Xianyuan Five Realms at a glance. She was so sure that she was definitely not probing, but how could she tell?

Granny Meng took a deep breath and sighed for a long time. “Miss has killed too many people over the years. None of them came from the other side of the desert, but they died here in vain. They became the vengeful souls beneath the Berserk Sand Castle.”

Xiao Chen focused and slowly said, “Since Senior knows where I came from, he has come to let me go. In that case, aren’t you afraid that your young miss will blame me? There are many restrictions within a radius of a hundred kilometers outside, how would Senior know that I can escape from this Berserk Sand Castle?”

Granny Meng said, “Young Hero doesn’t have any neutron fragrance on him. If you leave, no one will be able to stop you. If Miss wants to kill you, I’m afraid that it will harm me. I really don’t want to see her fall into a cliff. She will never be able to recover.”

Hearing her say this, Xiao Chen became more vigilant. This old man was indeed powerful. He could even tell that he had not fallen for the incense stick. However, her cultivation was not under his control. It was not difficult for her to use the restrictions of Berserk Sand Castle to restrain herself. But why did she come here tonight to let him go? Isn’t the owner of Berserk Sand Castle looking for someone from Xianyuan Five Realms?

What was her true purpose at this moment? Could it be that he just didn’t want to be enemies with the cold woman outside?

After a while, Granny Meng said, “Young Hero will leave tonight. I will not be implicated in anything. I only hope that Young Hero will leave and not embarrass our young miss because of today’s offense.”

Granny Meng’s cultivation wasn’t shallow. She clearly saw that Xiao Chen wasn’t an ordinary cultivator, so she had this layer of concern.

After a while, he saw her slowly turn around and look outside the prison. He sighed softly and said, “Actually, Miss, she is also a miserable person …”

“Oh? What do you mean?”

This time, Xiao Chen wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, he had some interest in the Castle Master of Berserk Sand Castle. He had killed so many innocent people, but he was still a poor man. He was truly moved to the point of tears.

Granny Meng turned around and looked at him, “Young Hero, are you willing to listen to my nagging?”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly and stared at her. As he spoke, he held the wooden staff in his hand for her.

“Sigh …”

Granny Meng let out a long sigh and turned around. She bent her body and put her hands behind her back. She slowly said, “This matter begins when young miss was eighteen years old. Her name is’ Nian Xiangqin ‘. When she was eighteen years old, she was ignorant and innocent, but she inherited all the property of Berserk Sand Castle …”

At this point, she paused for a moment before continuing, “It was then that the old man was taking care of her. Until one day, Miss brought back a seriously injured man from the desert …”

“Seriously injured man?”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen’s expression couldn’t help but froze. It seemed that there were some clues to some things.

Granny Meng nodded slightly and continued, “Yes, that man was seriously injured at that time. His meridians were broken, and his life was almost on the line. At that time, the entire people of Berserk Sand Castle, including his old body, were unable to treat him. However, Miss is innocent by nature and has always been stubborn. She said that the person she saved must be saved …”

“Then what happened afterwards?”

“Afterwards …”

Granny Meng shook her head and sighed. There was obviously some pain on her face. After a long time, she continued, “Later, Miss actually used the forbidden technique of Wild Sand Castle to sacrifice 50% of her life force to save that person from the Hell Palace …”

Xiao Chen seemed to have recognized something and asked, “What happened afterwards?”

Granny Meng continued, “Afterwards, the man stayed in Kuangsha Castle to recover. Miss spent three years to renew his meridians, but she was unable to recover her full strength. During these three years, Miss had been with him day and night, and unknowingly, she had developed feelings for him …”

“No wonder …”

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. Now that Nian Xiangqin had become so cold and heartless, it turned out that she had been hurt by emotions. He asked, “Did the man abandon her after recovering from his injuries? Did he never reveal his identity?”

Granny Meng shook her head, “That man stayed in Kuangsha Castle for three years and never said who he was. Young miss also loved him foolishly and gave everything to a man she had never met before.”

“In that case, this man is a disappointed and unfortunate person.”

“No …”

Granny Meng shook her head, “No wonder Miss likes him. That man is different from everyone else. His eyes are always like that …”

“That night, I hid outside the room and finally heard the man say that he came from the other side of the desert. He said that he had a very powerful enemy and that he wanted to go back to take revenge …” she sighed.

“On the other side of the desert …”

Xiao Chen focused. Could it be someone from Xianyuan Five Realms? However, it seemed that nothing major had happened in Xianyuan Five Realms several decades ago. From what this senior said, that man should definitely not be an ordinary person. Logically speaking, there should be a big disturbance. However, Xianyuan Five Realms seemed to have been quiet for nearly a hundred years.

Granny Meng continued, “When I heard that, I was very shocked. He was seriously injured and his meridians were completely broken. What exactly did he experience? He was seriously injured and was able to cross the Desert of Death by himself? This is simply inconceivable. Just how much hatred does he have to have to support him in crossing the Desert of Death?”

At this point, she became more and more excited. Her originally turbid eyes suddenly became hot and spirited. It was as if she was still shocked as ever, as if she had just heard about this that night.

After a long time, she gradually calmed down and continued, “When that person left, he did not tell Miss his name. He only said that he must recover his strength and then go back to take revenge. However, his enemy was too powerful. He did not want to drag Miss down, so he said that he would not come back until his revenge was taken.”

At this point, Granny Meng’s eyes gradually filled with tears. “That night, The young lady cried and begged him not to leave, He didn’t want him to take any risks, and he also said that she would bring the people from Berserk Sand Castle across the Desert of Death to avenge him. However, at that time, the man refused. He was very hostile at that time. He said that he must personally avenge him, and he would not let anyone off. Furthermore, the old man could tell that the man really didn’t want to drag Miss down … ”

“Then … what happened next? That person, he left?”

“Mm …”

Granny Meng nodded slightly and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. She said, “That person left. She did not tell Miss where he went. She only left behind a letter asking Miss to wait for him. After he finished taking revenge, she and Miss will live in seclusion in the forest and will no longer care about anything in this world. If he does not return, then Miss will not wait for him anymore. He must be dead.”

At this point, the corners of Granny Meng’s dried eyes slowly gathered tears. Xiao Chen said, “That’s why he never came back.”

Granny Meng nodded and continued with a sigh, “When Miss saw the letter, she was almost heartbroken, but there was hope. So she prayed for him every day, hoping that nothing more would happen to him. Even if he could not avenge himself, he must return safely … But this time, there were six elders!”

“What?”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen’s face finally changed. Originally, he thought it was only a few decades ago, but he didn’t expect it to be more than three hundred years ago.

No wonder the ancient land of Xianyuan had never heard of such things in recent decades. Three hundred years ago, at that time, Master hadn’t inherited the Yao Guang bloodline of Excellency, right? Who exactly is that person …
