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

Chapter 44: The Lord of Life and Death - She established countless great achievements in her life, y

In the year 2020, in Sanchuan City, as dusk settled and the sun began to set, at Xicheng High School—

At a time when students should have been out of school and gone home, two figures were still in Class 99.

The so-called "Class 99" is actually a hidden class that some schools in the world have.

The members of this class don't need to worry about further education or other real-world issues.

Because they are all seekers of the Dharma!

That's right, Class 99 was created by the United Dharma Assembly, an organization composed of thousands of sects in the world that handles affairs of the supernatural world, in order to cultivate new forces.

As for why there are still people in the class at this time—

That's because the students were kept after class due to poor performance in class and because their parents were too busy to pick them up.

"This is the end of the story..."

Seventeen-year-old Duan Xinglian looked up and saw his homeroom teacher, Ms. Lü Chen, slowly closing the book in her hand.

Meaningful, neither joyful nor sorrowful.

Because of my poor health, and because my senior sister Zhou Liuqing is always too busy in the [World God Group].

Therefore, many years ago, he and his senior sister concealed their identities as successors of the Three Truths Dharma Gate, as they wandered from place to place without a fixed abode.

He even introduced them to jobs and schools. Teacher Lü Chen, who claimed to be an old friend of Master Haoguang, would often stay after class for them.

Sometimes I help myself take care of my poor health, and sometimes I prepare special meals for myself.

Occasionally, he would also tell stories that he had heard from the later Great Accomplishment Master Haoguang.

Or there are interesting stories about Master Canyi and Master Jiang Mingzi.

But in Duan Xinglian's view, nothing he had ever told before was as important or crucial as this story today...

The eleventh war of cause and effect, the process of the Three Truths Sect's first campaign against the Corpse Immortal of Myriad Karmas.

"Teacher Lü Chen, did you hear this from Grandmaster Hao Guang?" Duan Xinglian asked softly.

The refined and elegant Lü Chen, dressed in a black suit, slightly adjusted his square-framed glasses.

He seemed like a gentle scholar in every way, and picked up the coffee on the table, taking a small sip.

"Hmm." Lu Chen usually responded by lying.

"But according to your story, shouldn't the outcome of the eleventh war of cause and effect have been erased by that person?"

Duan Xinglian was very curious.

"That's right."

"So this is what your Grandmaster Haoguang deduced together with others after that failure, based on the version guessed by the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the World."

Lu Chen continued to speak words that were so fake they couldn't be more fake. Apart from him and the six lifetimes and five worlds, who else could truly know the outcome of that battle?

Only Jiang Mingzi in his later years had any suspicions because of his exposure.

But Duan Xinglian didn't question it, since Teacher Lü Chen had no reason to lie to him.

In terms of his character, he helped himself and his senior sister so much that they no longer had to wander around and had a place where they could live a stable life.

In terms of identity, he did indeed have a past relationship with Grandmaster Haoguang, and the unique tokens of the Three Truths Dharma were not to be passed on to outsiders.

Needless to say, his cultivation level is even higher...

As a senior sister who has fully awakened her innate supernatural power and is definitely an expert in central supernatural powers, she once said that she probably wouldn't last ten rounds against Master Lü Chen.

What reason would Teacher Lü Chen, who is probably not far from obtaining a degree of great supernatural powers, have to deceive him?

Unfortunately... Teacher Lü Chen doesn't yet have the degree of Great Supernatural Power.

Otherwise, the matter of avenging the hundreds of people would not be so far away for him and his senior sister.

Thinking of this, Duan Xinglian unconsciously picked up the [Three Truths in One Month Token] and the Bright Light Daily Records that he had secretly "borrowed" from his senior sister—

He was clearly different from everyone else; he could see the writing on Haoguang's daily records.

When Master was still alive, he said that those who could see the writing above should be those recognized by the "Three Truths in the Same Month Order".

If that's the case, why hasn't it been opened yet, leaving me so powerless in the face of hatred?

Upon seeing the "Same Month Order" and the "Bright Light Daily Events," Lü Chen unusually showed some interest.

"Xinglian, you stole these two items from your senior sister again?"

"Ahem, how can you call it stealing when it's a family matter? Teacher Lü Chen, it's just a loan, at most it's a loan, my senior sister will forgive me."

"Yeah?"

Lu Chen didn't comment much on this; he simply held his coffee in one hand, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long while, as dusk deepened once more, he finally fixed his gaze on the Haoguang Rizhi in Duan Xinglian's hand.

"I remember you said you could see the contents of this 'Radiant Daily Affairs' book, right?"

"Hmm... but I'm afraid I'm not the successor of the [Same Month Order] that Grandmaster Haoguang and you were hoping for—"

Duan Xinglian nodded, although the law of causality could erase memories from periods when causality was uncertain.

The fact that Master Lü Chen never heard his own name from Grandmaster Hao Guang from beginning to end speaks volumes.

Lu Chen propped his chin up with one hand, clearly not caring whether Duan Xinglian was the successor of the [Same Month Order].

He simply asked, "I remember Haoguang wrote down almost all the important milestones of his life in it—"

"Then you must have seen the story of Black Mountain Village and Bai Xiaoxiao, Xing Lian, right?"

Black Mountain Village, Bai Xiaoxiao...

These six words made Duan Xinglian clench his fists. The description of this story in Haoguang's Daily Journal, and the sense of helplessness revealed between the lines, made him feel the same way.

"Yes, Grandmaster Haoguang..."

Lu Chen raised her hand, stopping Duan Xinglian from discussing Gao Haoguang.

"Today we won't talk about your ancestor Haoguang; let's focus on that girl whose ending was tragic—"

"Xinglian, what's your opinion on the final choice made by the girl named Bai Xiaoxiao?"

Duan Xinglian was visibly taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Hatred." Lu Chen took another sip of coffee. "It's the common ground between you and Lu Buyi from the story I told, Bai Xiaoxiao from your grandmaster Haoguang's story."

Do you think Bai Xiaoxiao did the right thing? After all, there's no doubt that her final actions implicated too many innocent people.

Duan Xinglian found it difficult to answer; the question was clearly beyond his comprehension.

Even Gao Haoguang, who came later, couldn't say whether it was right or wrong.

Lu Chen then asked, "Do you think it was right for your ancestor, who betrayed the Three Truths Sect, to choose the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Karmas in order to seek revenge, thus implicating the innocent?"

This is an unanswerable question—

Because Lü Buyi's next question made it impossible for Duan Xinglian to say whether the above was right or wrong.

He asked, "Do you think it's correct for you to consider all 737 members of the Supreme One Hundred as someone who must be killed in order to seek revenge?"

Duan Xinglian was speechless for a long time before stubbornly replying:

"This is different. None of the hundreds of people are innocent; they are all wicked beasts..."

"Is it really different?" Lu Chen looked up at the ceiling.

"To the entire world of seekers of the Dharma, Haoguang is undoubtedly a ruthless demon lord, which is why the Three Truths Dharma is now being so vehemently attacked and killed."

"You've also been targeted for this. Do you think your Grandmaster Haoguang deserved to die too?"

Duan Xinglian remained silent, because there were indeed many things that could not be refuted.

Some things in this world are just hard to distinguish between right and wrong. You have your reasons, and I have my thoughts.

But Lü Chen didn't seem to be fixated on his answer; he had only asked the question because he suddenly felt something.

He picked up his coffee, drank it all in one gulp, and then lit a cigarette in a melancholy mood.

"Smoking and drinking are bad for your health, Ms. Lü Chen. And don't you think smoking a pack a minute is a bit too much?"

Duan Xinglian stopped thinking about those heavy topics.

He looked at the cigarette box in Lü Chen's hand, which had become empty again in a short time, and felt a little worried for him.

The Dharma body of a seeker at the peak of the Middle Divine Power should be able to withstand such treatment, right?

"There's nothing I can do about it if it hurts my health. Adults my age need to have some hobbies to maintain their physical condition."

"Otherwise, it would be 'God' who gets hurt."

Lü Chen, seemingly lost in thought, replied in this manner.

Having said that, Duan Xinglian stopped trying to persuade her every day and looked at the daily tasks that belonged to him in Lü Chen's hand.

Suddenly, I had some questions and curiosity about the ending of the story I had just heard—

"Teacher Lü Chen, did Grandmaster Gongsun Ling really die in the eleventh war of cause and effect?"

"After all, the final outcome remains extremely ambiguous until the very end of the story."

Lu Chen's hand, holding the cigarette, paused slightly in mid-air; he did not give a direct answer.

He simply softened his voice and said gently:

"The Lord of Life and Death established countless great achievements throughout his life—"

"However, just like your vanished Grandmaster Haoguang and Grandmaster Jiang Mingzi whose later years were shrouded in mystery, she too had her earthly ties severed."
