Above the shore of Xianyun Lake.
In the valley under the starry sky, the promise between the boy and the girl slowly unfolds in the shadows.
"Then we'll meet on the moon someday, you fool!"
When Gu Yun shouted those words with a smile, the air around Xianyun Lake seemed to freeze for a moment.
silence.
A brief silence.
The cultivators, who were initially discussing the plot, became increasingly speechless as the story progressed.
In just a few minutes of recollection, all the foreshadowing from before was brought to a close!
Why is Gu Yun's wish to go to the Moon Realm?
Because he promised Lin Xi that if they got lost or forgot, they would meet on the moon!
Why did Gu Yun forget why he wanted to go to the Moon Realm?
Because the Forget-Me-Not Gu made him forget his past, including his promise to Lin Xi!
Why did Lin Xi always carry that ugly platypus doll? Why did Lin Xi almost jump off the cliff when Gu Yun threw the sandbag down the cliff?
Because this was a token of their first meeting!
Why did Lin Xi fold blue and yellow paper rabbits?
Because this is a memory they created together!
Why did Lin Xi fold the paper rabbit over and over again? Why did she give up her beautiful long hair and cut it short? Why did she ask Gu Yun to describe the paper rabbit again and again?
Because of the 【Ice Heart Bloodline】, Lin Xi was unable to express her inner thoughts and could only clumsily recreate the scene of that night, hoping that Gu Yun would remember the promise they made when they first met!
...
All the previous doubts were foreshadowing.
Like a hook, it lured the cultivators to keep searching for the truth.
In the end, all the hooks turned into knives.
It is planted in everyone's heart.
Someone in the crowd let out a sob.
The sadness seemed contagious, spreading collectively among the cultivators.
Everyone's eyes reddened, and people were wiping their eyes from time to time.
Because everyone knows how cruel life will be after that.
"Given Miss Lin's personality, she'll probably come here every year to wait for Gu Yun."
"What a pity! I can't wait any longer..."
"She was born with the 【ice-heart bloodline】, and her heart was repeatedly chilled, which is why her symptoms are more severe than others, right?"
"Even so, when Miss Lin saw Gu Yun again, she still chose to believe him without hesitation..."
"No wonder Miss Lin hesitated for so long when Gu Yun invited her to watch the play... because she had waited ten years for the last promise."
"Ten years! How many decades does a mortal have... and she's still a child, so that's her entire childhood, isn't it?"
"This old devil Lu is truly worthy of the name... a demon who manipulates people's hearts! My eyes are stinging!"
"Tell me, how desperate must Miss Lin have been throughout her life?"
"She clearly knows everything, but she can't say anything... It's so agonizing, so agonizing!!"
"Elder Guo's expression seems a bit off?"
"If there's no reaction to this, then it's not just being heartless, it's being utterly devoid of a heart..."
...
In Guo Yunfeng's illusion.
As the plot unfolded, she vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
She originally only wanted to find out more about Gu Yun's past.
After all, there were many suspicious points in Gu Yun's previous memories.
But when Lin Xi appeared, she had a very strong feeling in her mind—
We've been tricked!
The "love" in this illusion is not between her and Xu Ci.
It was Gu Yun and Lin Xi!
Guo Yunfeng realized what was happening and wanted to extricate herself from the situation, refusing to care, understand, or listen.
but......
She can't do it!
The Fear and Passion Array has been fully activated, and the thirst for knowledge has been etched into her subconscious.
When the decryption process reached its final stage, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
Moreover, they're getting deeper and deeper into it...
Long-frozen emotions surged into my heart like a floodgate being opened.
Shock, heartache, emotion, regret...
A multitude of complex emotions swirled within her, causing her nose to sting and her nose to twitch.
'No, I can't shed tears... I can't disgrace the Ruthless Sect.'
Guo Yunfeng's eyes stung with tears, but she swallowed the emotion with her strong inner conviction.
'That was close...'
Guo Yunfeng looked at the two people in front of her with a complicated expression, knowing that their farewell was a final one.
Her eyes were slightly red.
Fortunately, it was dark, so people outside couldn't see it very well.
'I almost fell for it... almost.'
Guo Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief, but her mind remained tense, afraid that if she relaxed even slightly, tears would well up in her eyes.
She herself is most aware of her current situation.
Lu Ze was just a hair's breadth away from winning.
Fortunately, the mystery has been solved, and the story should come to an end.
...
...
The main world where the server is located.
"What a pity..."
Lu Ze shook his head, feeling a little regretful.
"The old man is quite good at keeping a straight face."
"Can I make my move now?"
The remnants of the Heavenly Dao are eager to try their luck.
Making an ant with even a little bit of strength cry without being seen is a new challenge for it.
Moreover, the conditions offered by Lu Ze were quite generous.
"No rush, this is just the beginning."
Lu Ze smiled and shook his head.
He had been planning this for a long time to make the cultivators of the Heartless Path shed tears.
The first half of the "Fear and Passion" sequence uses "desire for knowledge" as a starting point to guide Guo Yunfeng into immersing herself in the story of Lin Xi and Gu Yun without her being prepared.
At this moment, the floodgates of her emotions have been opened.
Next, the emotional guidance of the Fear and Soul Entanglement Array will turn into "sorrow".
Furthermore, the story of "To the Moon" is far from over...
This combination of punches would make even the Supreme Elder of the Ruthless Sect shed tears!
