Chapter 670 The Savior's Smile
Ran Ran quickly finished telling the whole story between her and Wu Ning. Of course, she was telling the version that was known and widely circulated by most people in the Xuanmen.
It wasn't that she was trying to cover up for her predecessor, but to this day, there was no evidence to support what she had seen and heard back then.
It would be better not to make any changes and tell the story more clearly according to the mainstream meaning.
The uneasy feeling in Shen Dinghai's heart became stronger and stronger.
When Ranran just started narrating, he was able to interject freely and tell a few jokes to ease the atmosphere, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
"I really want to go back in time and slap myself in the face. I used to suspect that all the evil things in the black book were thought up by Wu Ning himself to harm people... It turns out that all the records are about what those beasts did to him..."
"The black book that I thought was the book of evil turned out to be Wu Ning's diary of his daily life!"
Shen Dinghai covered his face in despair, "This is simply the most tragic diary in the world!"
"I recorded in detail the physiological changes of the human body in ice water because I was thrown into ice water. I described in detail what it would feel like to have a silver needle inserted into the bone because I was treated like that..."
His voice trembled just from saying something so cruel.
"It clearly records what kind of punishment is when bad water is poured on a person, because you are the one being poured with bad water! There is also a way to commit suicide!"
Shen Dinghai was almost losing control. "I remember it also mentioned suicide by cutting one's wrist. Cutting the wrist horizontally will not kill you. You will only become weaker and weaker due to the massive blood loss until you die from excessive blood loss. Cutting the blood vessels vertically is 'effective'..."
He pulled his hair madly, "Oh my God, this poor kid couldn't have tried it himself?!"
Seeing this, Ran Ran just said calmly: "We don't have Wu Ning's body, otherwise we can verify this."
Shen Dinghai suddenly opened his eyes wide, "This is simply a joke from hell! Because the worst thing is that he has long been dead!"
"After enduring so much abuse, he ended up with nothing left. In order to survive, his soul had to stay in a place like hell, enduring the howling of evil spirits every minute..."
By the end, he couldn't even bear to continue.
"How could such a... miserable person be a disaster? Has he really done anything to harm the world?"
Ran Ran remained silent. She had her suspicions, but no definite evidence. Sang Mei wanted to prove that Wu Ning was definitely not a bad person, but she had no evidence.
At the critical moment, someone came.
A person that no one expected—Qin Yan.
He was in a hurry, and his eyes lit up the first time he saw Ran Ran, "Fortunately, the family heirloom was not damaged, so I was able to find you, Miss Ran Ran."
Qin Yan said this as he put away a treasure that looked like a compass.
There was also something similar to his in Ranran’s small cloth bag. It was prepared for her by her “father and mother” before she went down the mountain. It was probably the unified utensil for Xuanmen disciples.
"You're just in time." Ran Ran suddenly said this. In fact, she wanted to express that it was a great pleasure for her to see Qin Yan at the last minute.
She had lived in this world for too short a time, and there were only a few people she could call old friends, and most of them were already dead.
Being able to see Qin Yan at this moment, Ranran felt sincerely happy, even... happy.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yan was stunned. "Miss Ranran knew I was looking for you? You are worthy of being the savior. You are really amazing!"
Ran Ran frowned, realizing the mystery, "Why are you looking for me?"
"To be honest." Qin Yan glanced at Sang Mei and said, "At first, I was just curious about Miss Sang Mei's background. After all, such a powerful ghost cultivator is rare, so I asked my father to investigate."
"Unexpectedly, my father gave me a big surprise."
Sang Mei looked up with a confused look on her face. Qin Yan said slowly, "My father followed Miss Sang Mei's lead and easily found the source of the trouble many years ago - Sang Ning."
Ran Ran's first reaction was that it was impossible. "Even Sang Ning had to work hard to find Sang Mei in modern society. How did your father find Sang Ning through Sang Mei?"
"After all, so many years have passed. Moreover, the name of the Lord of Trouble is so famous that many people don't even know Sang Ning's real name. How did your father know it?" Qin Yan sighed, "This has to do with the origin of my family and Xuanmen."
He bowed his hands towards the sky and said, "My ancestors compiled history books for Xuanmen."
"The legend of the Lord of Trouble is very old. Even today, most of the orthodox disciples of Xuanmen may not know about it, but my ancestors will never forget it."
"He was a man who once massacred the Xuanmen sect. His surname, Sang, has been passed down from generation to generation in the family like a curse."
"So after finding out that Miss Mei's last name was Sang, my father became extremely alert."
Qin Yan shook his head. "Sure enough, in the end he really found out the connection between Miss Sang Mei and the troublemaker Sang Ning."
Everyone then understood the whole story, but Ranran had new questions.
"Why did you think of telling me this?"
Qin Yan affirmed: "Because I know you are the savior, it is most reasonable to tell you anything about the disaster star, isn't it?"
Ran Ran was silent for a while, staring at Qin Yan with calm eyes.
"When did you determine this? It's impossible that you just listened to Li Zunle's speculations about the reversal method?"
"Of course not." Qin Yan hastily denied, "It's still my father's credit."
"Although my father is obsessed with building the Miaomen, he still maintains the means of communication with the Xuanmen." He looked at Ranran and smiled, "You know, I'm talking about the mountain."
Seeing Ran Ran nod, Qin Yan continued: "I hope you won't feel sad after listening to the following words."
Ranran nodded again without hesitation.
In fact, she was almost losing the emotion of sadness.
Qin Yan felt relieved, "After my father contacted Xuanmen, he decisively informed Miss Sang Mei about it."
"A girl with the blood of a calamity star flowing in her body has become a powerful ghost cultivator in modern society. This cannot be explained by coincidence."
"After Xuanmen learned about it, they were filled with emotion. To thank my father for bringing them the news, they informed him of the [Savior] plan that Xuanmen had carefully prepared."
Qin Yan looked at Ran Ran with complicated eyes.
"This plan is you, Miss Ranran."
There is a big difference between being told that you are the savior in a speculative or prophetic tone and being told that you are the savior outright.
The former is much more subtle and gentle.
It won't make Ranran feel that the burden on her shoulders is so heavy, and it won't make her feel as if a huge rock is pressing on her heart, making her unable to breathe.
Contrary to the reaction Qin Yan expected, Ran Ran just nodded calmly in acceptance.
"I know."
Ran Ran raised the corners of his lips, revealing a gentle and forced smile.
"After all, I have lived like this for several lifetimes, always, always being the savior."
She tried her best to express her approval and acceptance of this matter, but she was almost unable to smile.
This is the price of becoming a savior. She gradually lost all her emotions. Ran Ran was about to lose her specific perception ability. She was almost numb to it...
I couldn't tell if my smile was forced or not.
