Chapter 41 Sever Ties with the Past

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Sever Ties with the Past"Lin Fan Brother, I finally get to see you again, it’s really wonderful, I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you ever again in this lifetime!" Hu Mei’er softly said, "No matter what, it’s great to see you again!" After that, Hu Mei’er didn’t speak anymore, she just buried herself into Lin Fan’s embrace. For a long, long time! Suddenly, Lin Fan asked, "Mei’er, I have a question that I need to ask you!" Hu Mei’er raised her head, looked at Lin Fan with tears mingling like pear blossoms, and asked, "Are you asking why I led people to kill you back then?" Lin Fan nodded and said, "This is the perennial pain of my life." "I was forced!" Hu Mei’er said, "To be precise, my mind was controlled. Even though my love for you surpasses my life, because I was under control, I still ended up chasing to kill you, and even drove my Longsword into your chest." After hearing what Hu Mei’er said, Lin Fan’s heart became a mix of different emotions. "Mei’er, are you telling the truth?" Lin Fan nervously asked. Hu Mei’er nodded without speaking. Lin Fan said, "Tell me, who was it? Who controlled your mind back then?" Hu Mei’er shook her head and said, "Lin Fan Brother, I’m sorry, I can’t tell you now, because that person is too powerful, and if I tell you now, it will only endanger you!" Lin Fan didn’t speak anymore! Hu Mei’er then said, "Lin Fan Brother, from now on, I never want to be apart from you again. I want to be with you forever and ever." "Me too!" Lin Fan also softly responded. Hu Mei’er asked, "Lin Fan Brother, you don’t blame me?" Lin Fan said, "You already said it earlier, you were controlled by someone else, you were helpless, so I don’t blame you. Besides, aren’t I fine now?" Hu Mei’er joyfully said, "Lin Fan Brother, you’re really nice!" Lin Fan didn’t speak, just held Hu Mei’er tightly in his arms. "Ugh!" But the next moment, Lin Fan suddenly groaned. He felt a severe pain in his chest. Hu Mei’er had actually stabbed a dagger into Lin Fan’s heart. At the same time, Hu Mei’er also struggled out from Lin Fan’s embrace. Blood incessantly flowed from the wound, and Hu Mei’er stood not far away, coldly watching Lin Fan, while a ferocious expression also appeared on her face. "Why... why?" Lin Fan exclaimed in shock, his face full of disbelief, asking, "Why do you want to kill me?" "Because, you deserve to die!" Hu Mei’er sneered, coldly saying: "Lin Fan oh Lin Fan, I must say, you are too gullible. Before, you were killed by me once, I thought you would have learned your lesson, but unexpected to me, you’re still so easily deceived? And yet again, you die by my hand? Haha!" "You... you..." Lin Fan pointed at Hu Mei’er, wanting to say something, but he couldn’t utter anything. "Haha!" Hu Mei’er continued to say, "Lin Fan, it’s over, just die like this!" While speaking, the expression on Hu Mei’er’s face became even more ferocious. "Is it?" Lin Fan suddenly said, and when he said this, a smile appeared on Lin Fan’s face. "Uh?" Seeing this expression on Lin Fan’s face, Hu Mei’er felt a bad premonition in her heart. "Illusion Realm, shatter!" Lin Fan said lightly. At the same time, an endless pressure from the Ancient Martial Soul emerged from Lin Fan, spreading rapidly around him from the center. The surrounding scenery began to change swiftly. Hu Mei’er also let out a tragic scream, and her body started to become illusory. "Ah... Ah..." Hu Mei’er screamed continuously: "Lin Fan, how... how could you possibly see that this is an Illusion Realm?" Lin Fan said lightly: "Actually, the moment I saw you, I suspected that all this was just an illusion, but to tell the truth, I didn’t want to wake up from it, because I also did not want to hurt you!" "But why were you able to break the illusion? Normally, once trapped in an illusion, it’s impossible to wake up again, you..." Hu Mei’er continued. Lin Fan said: "Because I have the Ancient Martial Soul!" "You..." Hu Mei’er wanted to say something else, but ultimately, she didn’t get a chance to speak as her body became even more illusory until it finally vanished completely. The first layer of the Illusion Realm completely disappeared! "Ugh!" After the illusion finally dissipated completely, Lin Fan groaned again, feeling a throbbing pain in his heart, a pain that even seeped into the depths of his soul, causing Lin Fan’s facial expression to become distorted... Because Lin Fan, even though within the illusion, was stabbed by Hu Mei’er with a sword! But because the sword was from his beloved, the pain was not only physical but also spiritual. "Hu Mei’er, it seems... we... haha!" Lin Fan shook his head. The next moment, the painful expression on Lin Fan’s face disappeared, replaced by a look of endless determination. Immediately after, Lin Fan said: "Speaking of which, I still have to thank today’s illusion, haha! I thought I had forgotten Hu Mei’er, that I had expelled her from my world, but after today’s events, I realized that Hu Mei’er has always been alive in my world!" "But as of now, Hu Mei’er has finally become a passerby in my life!" "My ties with Hu Mei’er are finally, completely severed!" Lin Fan knew that it was time to truly say goodbye to Hu Mei’er. Meanwhile, after Lin Fan figured out these things, his heart suddenly became enlightened, and his Heart Realm also improved a lot. "Eh?" Immediately afterward, Lin Fan couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "As I overcome my past Heart Demons and my Heart Realm has been elevated, my cultivation is also about to break through?" At the same time, outside the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda, more than two hours had passed. During this time, everyone was observing the changes in the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda. Originally, everybody thought that with Lin Fan’s previously demonstrated talent, if no other accidents occurred, he would quickly pass through the first level of the pagoda. Because Lin Fan’s performance was truly spectacular before, everyone thought Lin Fan was a Three-star talent. But now, after so much time had passed, Lin Fan was still on the first level. "Could it be? Lin Fan was merely dazzling in performance, but in reality, his talent is utterly mediocre?" Many people thought so in their hearts. Even Liu Junli, who had a good relationship with Lin Fan these days, slightly frowned. Liu Junli secretly wondered: "What exactly is going on? What is he doing inside? With his talent, passing through the first level should be very easy!" Liu Junli knew very well, although the first level’s Illusion Realm was strong, she still believed Lin Fan could pass through it easily. And now, over two hours had passed, and Lin Fan was still on the first level, leaving Liu Junli somewhat puzzled. "Haha!" As for Cheng Lin, that guy couldn’t help but burst into laughter, coldly saying: "Before, I thought Lin Fan’s talent was quite good, but now it seems, he’s merely a mediocrity after all!" "This person, is simply not worthy to be my opponent!" Cheng Lin was overjoyed. People around him continued to flatter, saying: "Brother Cheng, how could that waste compare to you?"
