The sun and moon are both wrong: Starting with marrying Gongsun Ling

Chapter 41: Let's use Wanye Buxiong on her for our sake!

As someone who was directly involved, Lü Buyi, who could see things clearly even to outsiders, was certainly not blinded by his own involvement.

When darkness appeared at the corner of his eye, he already realized that his emotions were probably getting out of control.

He faced her, faced Gongsun Ling, faced his own wife.

He acted irrationally for a moment, saying too many things he shouldn't have, which led to the current situation.

This is not uncontrollable.

In fact, suppressing this anger and hatred was not difficult for Lü Buyi at all.

After all, he has always walked this gentle path for over a hundred years.

Otherwise, if you can't even control your emotions—

Lü Buyi would not have chosen the mission of infiltrating the Three Truths Sect in the first place, and he would never have become a titled Great Supernatural Being.

But this time, he failed to stop it in time.

Because before his eyes appeared another figure, a small, thin figure that only he could see.

Lu Buyi felt that the figure was so twisted and incomplete that it was almost impossible to call it human.

Even the ugliest Nirvana corpse is considered intact compared to it.

Half of his body's skin was destroyed by some kind of incurable damage.

Starting from the forearm, there's nothing left on the right hand.

There was only an empty hole in the left eye; the eyeball had disappeared for some unknown reason.

Half of his chin was missing...

Both knees were bare bone, making it difficult to even stand up, and he had to endure indescribable pain.

Can such a body still be called alive?

"Who is this?"

Why did I see him?

Darkness enveloped Lü Buyi's eyes, and he asked himself softly in his heart.

Staring at that mutilated yet still familiar face, it took him a long time before he suddenly realized what was going on.

"yes……"

"This is me, the me I used to be, the me at the very beginning—"

Raise your right hand, which is intact, and gently touch your left eye, feeling the eyeball moving.

Lü Buyi chuckled lightly, whether in self-deprecation or sarcasm was unclear.

"I've been using it for over a hundred years, and I almost forgot that most of this body is something I created through 'practicing the false to return to the true'."

His voice seemed to have been heard by the small, thin child.

The child with the distorted face raised his only remaining left hand and greeted him with practiced ease.

"haven't seen you for a long time--"

"There's nothing to it about seeing each other or not..."

Lu Buyi denied it softly: "You are just a fantasy that was automatically created by my pain."

"You don't exist at all, or rather, you are me, and I am you."

The child did not refute; he simply walked closer to Lü Buyi and then naturally sat down, hugging his knees.

"Yes, I don't exist at all. I'm just the pain you've been suppressing all this time."

"You were moved by her, so you lost control of yourself without realizing it."

The child looked up; he only had one right eye left, and his face looked hideous.

He sighed softly, "So, even she can't understand your pain, can she?"

"Compared to you, who's willing to compromise for her, she doesn't care about you at all, does she?"

"Shut up--"

"Ah Ling knows nothing. I hadn't told her anything before, so of course she doesn't understand."

The figure chuckled softly. He didn't deny Lü Buyi's words; he simply said...

"So, you have changed. The original you would never have said something like that."

"Did she change you, or did your century-long suppression of your peaceful life change you—?"

"Or perhaps, some of both?"

Lü Buyi did not answer, but the child did not stop:

"Has a mere hundred years made you forget your hatred?"

Lu Buyi lowered his head and quietly looked at his younger self who had become younger in order to have a normal growth trajectory.

"I haven't forgotten; aren't I doing it methodically right now?"

"But you hesitated, didn't you?"

The child extended his right hand, his five fingers spread out in a row:

"Master Canyi, Gongsun Ling, Jiang Mingzi, and your disciples and grand-disciples—"

"They made you waver, didn't they?"

"Ignoring all worldly affairs, just living a peaceful life with her and their companions, doesn't seem so bad—can you honestly tell me you've never had such a thought?"

Lü Buyi had no answer.

The child also fell silent, but suddenly he made a request.

"Lü Buyi, can you really allow yourself to do something?"

"explain."

"For your own sake, for revenge, can you personally kill Gongsun Ling before you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I did so much in this battle just to ensure her safety. Otherwise, why would we have made things so complicated?"

Young Lü Buyi retorted, "But didn't you see the result with your own eyes?"

"They don't appreciate it at all—"

"She'd rather die than stand in your way!"

"Admit it, Lü Buyi, you love her enough that you're willing to compromise and even give in to the current situation for her."

"But what about her?"

"She doesn't care about you at all, she won't back down an inch, she doesn't love you at all—"

"From beginning to end, you weren't the only one who was deceived."

"You've been fooled by them too; they've only been taking advantage of your feelings for them."

"Whether before or after exposure."

"Before the truth was revealed, Master Canyi was using you to protect the successor of the [Three Truths Under the Same Moon Order], Gongsun Ling was using your feelings to pave the way for her own future, and Jiang Mingzi was also using you to grow—"

"And once exposed, needless to say, they are constantly trying to exploit your understanding of you, seize upon your emotional flaws and reluctance to make sacrifices, and use these weaknesses to turn the tide of battle..."

Seeing that Lü Buyi could not answer, the child said this decisively.

"Since they care so little about you, take advantage of you so much, and regard your feelings as weakness."

"Why do you insist on going easy on them?"

"Look at Gongsun Ling right in front of you. She's still so fearless because of your favoritism and leniency—"

"She knew you wouldn't harm her, otherwise the initial target would have been her heart instead of her abdomen."

"Is she truly seeking death, or waiting for you to reveal a weakness by holding back, so she can then turn the tide of the battle?"

Lü Buyi opened his mouth: "She can't, A-Ling, she..."

"Does she really not know how?" the child asked softly.

"You wouldn't dare say that yourself, after all, they'll stop at nothing to win, turning against even family and friends—"

"They don't care about your pain and hatred; they only care about their own choices and paths, and they'll do anything for it, whether it's your death or hers."

"If that's the case, if she doesn't care about you at all, doesn't love you at all, and is just using you..."

"Why are you still going easy on her?"

At this point, the child paused, then turned to look at Lü Buyi, whose eyes were completely covered by darkness.

Then he slowly extended his only remaining right fist.

"Kill her, she doesn't care about you, doesn't love you, is just using you, and is willing to risk her life to stop you."

"Stop showing mercy to her, to Canyi, to Jiang Mingzi, and to the Three Truths Dharma Gate—"

"Lu Buyi, do this for my sake, for your own sake, for our hatred and suffering..."

"Use [Unwavering Trust] on her."

It was a look that seemed to be both crying and laughing.

Lü Buyi was unaware of his own expression.

All he knew was that, in that instant, he was indeed overwhelmed by the pain of the past—

Then, scarlet branches appeared from behind Lü Buyi and began to climb towards the sky.
