Chapter 166 You Will Become a Disabled Person
The Sect Master was angry, but he couldn't stop it. In the end, he would choose to expel Han'er and ask him not to return to Xuanyu Sect for a hundred years, which could be considered as a punishment.
But now that he said he wanted to give up his own cultivation, that was another matter.
"For Xi'er, I'm willing." Jiang Sihan wanted to go back to the past, back to the days when he and Xi'er were in love. He was willing to sacrifice everything, even if it meant becoming a cripple.
"Even if I become a cripple, I don't want to practice the ruthless way anymore." Jiang Sihan wanted to slap himself in the face whenever he thought of everything that happened between him and Xier.
Every word he said before was now like a knife stabbing back into his heart, causing the pain all over again.
"Alas." The Sect Master simply sighed and looked at Han'er carefully. He wasn't sure if the other party was acting impulsively or after careful consideration. He knew that Han'er valued cultivation the most.
"Master, please help me. I am willing to become a disabled person. If I continue to practice the ruthless way, I am afraid I will really lose Xier completely." Jiang Sihan thought that there was still room for recovery.
"I know that if I say now that I truly love Xier and I regret it, Master won't believe it. But I really, really don't want to lose Xier. I really don't want to lose her."
The Sect Master said, "Even if you abandon your cultivation now, what does it matter? Xi'er won't forgive you. You know her temper. Why bother?"
"I know, I know." How could Jiang Sihan not know? He just really wanted to give it a try, even if Xi'er didn't want to change her mind.
"Master, I beg you. Master!"
Han'er was so sincere and heartfelt that the Sect Master finally couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay. But you need to show me that technique so I can see if I can handle it."
"Yes."
Jiang Sihan forced himself to sit cross-legged, then drew out a gray silk thread from between his eyebrows, held it in his hand, and handed it to his master.
The gray thread fell into the Sect Master's hand. He grasped it and injected a wisp of spiritual consciousness into it. As he understood more, his brow furrowed even more. After a moment, he opened his eyes and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"
"I went to a secret place and found it in a cave." Jiang Sihan recalled what happened that day.
That day, he was on his way to a secret place and accidentally fell into a hidden cave. Inside the cave was a skeleton, and the gray thread was held in the skeleton's hand.
At that time, Jiang Sihan didn't know why, but he just felt that the red silk thread had been hooking him and he wanted to find out what it was. At that time, he did not intend to do so and picked up the gray thread.
The ruthless Dao's skills automatically appeared in his mind. He originally wanted to bring this set of skills to his master immediately, but when he saw that the Dao Ancestor had ascended to heaven within a hundred years, he was really tempted.
On the way back, he kept thinking that if it was true, he would be able to crush Lin Xuxi and become the genius of Xuanyu Sect, and finally become the sect leader.
In the end, Jiang Sihan couldn't resist the temptation and secretly began to practice. But it was true, the ruthless way was practiced very quickly, and he could actually compete with Lin Xuxi.
However, this also came at a price. Everything he saw was gray, colorless. Even Xier's face, and sometimes even her words, were inaudible.
He just thought this person was annoying and noisy. In his eyes, everyone was disgusting. At first, he was always in seclusion, so he didn't notice it.
After he was unable to retreat due to these matters these days, he was shocked to realize that the side effects of this ruthless path were so serious.
"This may not be the true ruthless way."
The sect leader pinched the gray thread and explained, "After I learned about it that day, I began searching for records related to the Way of Mercy. I finally found some clues in a tattered ancient book. The ancient book says: The Way of Mercy is the Way of the Ultimate Kindness and Sincerity. Heaven and Earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. But looking at your technique, you actually want to kill your wife? And it's so evil that you can only practice it in seclusion. It doesn't seem like a good thing!"
"Really?" Jiang Sihan didn't know either.
"Master believes that the ruthless path should be about giving up petty love and showing compassion to all living beings. Your path to enlightenment does involve killing people, and Master feels that something is wrong."
Even sword cultivators are so wary of killing innocent people. If this so-called ruthless path is truly benevolent and sincere, how could it be possible to prove its truth by killing someone? And the person killed was his own wife.
Jiang Sihan fell to the ground. If that was not the case, then what was he insisting on?
"If this isn't the true Wuqing Dao, I'll have no problem helping you destroy your cultivation. But first, you have to take me to that secret realm to see if there are any clues."
This is the technique, and the sect leader cannot make a conclusion yet.
"Yes."
Jiang Sihan nodded, but his health was too poor right now. It would take at least three days to travel from Xuanyu Sect to that secret realm, and he might not even make it.
"Yes." The sect leader would naturally consider all of this carefully.
When Lin Xuxi came out of seclusion, she learned from Senior Brother Yin Li that the Sect Master had gone out with Jiang Sihan. This was an unprecedented and bizarre story.
The last time the Sect Master went out was when he went to the human world to bring her back. How could the Sect Master, who had not been out for more than a hundred years, leave Xuanyu Sect with Jiang Sihan?
"So, is Senior Brother Rong the one who is in charge of Xuanyu Sect for now?" Lin Xuxi was tending to the herbs.
Yin Li nodded and said, "Yes." He watched Xier's hands deftly cut off a green leaf of the herb. He reached out and picked up the green leaf that fell on the ground, staring at it in a trance.
"Senior Brother Yin Li."
Yin Li was startled when his name was suddenly called, and quickly hid the leaves in his hand behind his back. He pretended to be calm and indifferent, pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes, I'm here."
He came over to see his junior sister as soon as he heard she had come out of seclusion. Seeing that she was much happier than before, he felt happy too.
When he came here, he saw the little sister planting herbs in the yard, and he kept watching from the side. As long as he was with the little sister, even if he did nothing, he was happy.
"Please give these seeds to Lufeng." Lin Xuxi saw that his senior brother was coming over, so he took them over and instructed, "Grow them with less water."
"Yes." Yin Li nodded, put the seeds away and asked, "Can we sort them together?"
"That's fine. I'll be away for a while after I finish planting these two pots. Brother Yin Li, please give these pots to An Tao and the others so they can try to see what they can grow."
Now Lin Xuxi is not only Fushan’s master’s wife, but also Master Lin of Xuanyu Sect.
No one would complain about her teaching Yaoshan's disciples, and Senior Brother Yin Li is not Jiang Sihan, so he won't think that she is interfering in other people's affairs. Senior Brother Yin Li is much more thoughtful than him.
"Junior Sister." Yin Li looked at the newly emerged herbs and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to gain experience. I haven't left the house for a long time. This time, it will take a while longer. I'm afraid it will take more than ten years before I can come back. However, I will wait for Master to come back before leaving. I will say goodbye to Master and leave."
