Chapter 178: Imperial Decree Forbids MarriageChapter 1755: Palace Feather's Soul-Searching

Gong Huiyu remained silent, her gaze fixed on Jian Xin, her expression stubborn.

Seeing her beautiful younger sister now treating herself this way for a mere wild man, Jian Xin was even angrier.

He roared, "Gong Huiyu, don't you forget that we are the White Lotus Sect. I am the sect leader and you are the holy maiden. The goal of the White Lotus Sect is to overthrow the imperial court and establish a prosperous new world. But you have gone so far for the imperial court's prince, betraying our cause! Do you think this is right Do you think it's right towards me, towards the White Lotus Sect, towards our parents who were persecuted to death by the imperial court!"

This time, Gong Huiyu finally showed some emotion.

"Think about it carefully, isn't that the truth! As a holy... of the Bai Lian Jiao..."

"These plots are similar to the storybooks I've read."

Gong Huiyu's words left Jian Xin feeling caught off guard.

Storybook

What is a storybook

... when Li Chen was taking Gong Huiyu out before, he put a booklet she loved to read into her arms, didn't he ...

At this time, Gong Huiyu spoke again.

"...all kinds of heroines burdened with a bloody deep revenge, and love the male lead while wanting to kill him. Love is unrequited, they're torn between two sides… In his words... it’s a melodramatic plot."

Gong Huiyu mentioned 'him', the corner of her mouth unconsciously curving into a barely perceptible arc, as if even her eyes were brighter.

This scene, it's heartbreaking to watch.

Previously, his own sister had a bad attitude towards him, seeming indifferent and impatient. Jianxin didn't mind though; he knew it was Gong Huiyu's personality and the cultivation method she practiced that caused her to treat everyone the same way.

Being able to have a conversation with oneself is already far better than what most people can do.

But now, seeing her own cold sister act like this towards another man, Jian Xin felt herself consumed by jealousy.

Just remembering the things he said, and he's so excited like this A little bit too much like a white lotus sect saintess, isn't it!

Gong Huiyu didn't know that her subtle expression had caused Jian Xin such deep pain. She continued, speaking to herself: "I also think this is foolish. What's so difficult about it If you like someone, go for it. If you don't, just leave. What does righteousness or lack thereof have to do with me"

"The White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect raised me. My master did indeed raise me, but my master is my master, and the White Lotus Sect is the White Lotus Sect. My master has long since passed away. The White Lotus Sect, to me, is just a place I have nowhere else to go, a temporary place to stay. And it was because of my master that I stayed in the White Lotus Sect. Now that my master is gone, I don't have much fondness for the White Lotus Sect."

He’s right, the core of the White Lotus sect is actually to exploit the ignorance and naivety of the common people to achieve their political goals. These goals are both stupid and evil.

As for you, your heart is set on reviving the White Lotus Sect. That's your business, and I won't stop you. So don't stop me either.

“As for your parents, I've never even seen what they looked like since the day I was born. I don't have any experience with this so-called blood feud. Besides, Master and you both said that my parents were killed by bandits on their way to Beijing to file a complaint. Master happened to pass by and saved you and me. So how is the imperial court responsible for their deaths”n Zhao Xuanji. But the result turned out to be none of these three parties.The real mastermind behind it all was...
