The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
What do you think about her?” Tan Yun thought for a moment before replying, “From the few times I’ve met her, I feel that she has a kind heart, no different from yours.” “With my experience, I believe I’m not mistaken about people.” “Really?” Mu Mengyi said with a displeased tone. “At that time, my strength and hers were actually very close.” “Before the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition began, more than 1,000,000 outer sect disciples were discussing who would win…” At that moment, she suddenly ...
Tan Yun replied naturally,
“Nothing ever happened.”
Mu Mengyi suddenly stopped walking.
She raised her head, her beautiful eyes staring seriously at Tan Yun as she spoke in a solemn tone.
“I can feel it… she has feelings for you.”
“And you? What do you think about her?”
Tan Yun thought for a moment before replying,
“From the few times I’ve met her, I feel that she has a kind heart, no different from yours.”
“With my experience, I believe I’m not mistaken about people.”
“Really?”
Mu Mengyi said with a displeased tone.
“If she’s that kind-hearted, then why during the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition did she poison me?”
“Why did she have to use such a dirty method to defeat me?”
She stared directly at Tan Yun.
“Or do you believe that she didn’t poison me, and that I’m the one lying and slandering her?”
Tan Yun raised his hand and slightly bent his index finger,
then gently hooked Mu Mengyi’s delicate nose with a smile.
“You silly girl, how could I possibly doubt you?”
“Then… who will you believe?”
Mu Mengyi asked softly.
“I believe that neither of you is lying,”
Tan Yun said.
Seeing that she was still truly angry, he continued,
“I believe that you were indeed poisoned.”
“But the person who poisoned you… was definitely not Zhong Wushiyao.”
“Hm?”
Mu Mengyi’s slender brows furrowed slightly.
Tan Yun asked thoughtfully,
“Mengyi, how well do you really know Zhong Wushiyao’s character?”
“Why would I need to know her!”
Mu Mengyi said with jealousy in her voice.
“But she saved your life 2 times, and she’s also beautiful.”
“Are you starting to waver? Is that why you’re speaking up for her?”
“Are you jealous?”
Tan Yun smiled and pulled Mu Mengyi into his arms.
After comforting her for a while,
Mu Mengyi’s mood gradually improved a little.
She pursed her lips and asked with a pout,
“Tell me then, why are you so certain that she wasn’t the one who poisoned me?”
“Or… do you know something?”
Tan Yun asked in return,
“Do you still remember when Rongrong, her close friend, came to see me?”
“I remember,”
Mu Mengyi replied.
“Her name is Yawen, right?”
She still sounded a little jealous.
“It must have been Zhong Wushiyao who sent her to see you.”
“When you came back that time, you didn’t say anything, and I was too embarrassed to ask.”
“What did she say to you?”
“You jealous girl.”
Tan Yun hugged Mu Mengyi and teased her for a moment.
Then his expression turned serious.
“It wasn’t Wushiyao who sent her to see me.”
“At that time, she was on the stage for the final round of the competition.”
“Rongrong saw that I was treating Wushiyao too coldly, so she couldn’t stand it and came to see me on her own.”
Mu Mengyi looked at Tan Yun with surprise.
“Then what did Rongrong say to you?”
Tan Yun replied,
“She told me some things about Wushiyao’s background.”
“Go on,”
Mu Mengyi said.
“All I know is that she’s an orphan who was brought back and raised by an elder of the sect.”
“Other than that, I know nothing.”
“Mmm…”
A trace of sympathy appeared in Tan Yun’s eyes.
“Wushiyao was born into a poor family on the outskirts of the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range.”
“Her father made a living by hunting.”
“When she was 5 years old, her father died under the claws of a wild beast.”
“Her mother died 3 days later from grief.”
Upon hearing this,
Mu Mengyi’s face clearly showed sympathy.
“I never thought her life would be so miserable.”
“To lose both parents at only 5 years old…”
Mu Mengyi thought of her own father, who had died tragically,
and her mother, whose fate was still unknown.
She spoke with a slightly sorrowful tone.
“She was only 5 years old then.”
“She must have felt extremely lonely and hopeless.”
Tan Yun sighed.
“The 3 great sorrows of human life are:
losing one’s father in youth,
losing one’s wife in middle age,
and losing one’s child in old age.”
“No matter which one it is, it is difficult for an ordinary person to accept.”
Tan Yun sighed once again before continuing.
“But what’s even more pitiful for Wushiyao… is that it didn’t end there.”
“Before her mother died,”
“she told Wushiyao that…”
“in truth, she wasn’t their biological daughter…”
Before Tan Yun could finish speaking,
Mu Mengyi’s slender body trembled.
“What? She’s not their biological daughter?”
“Yes,”
Tan Yun nodded and continued.
“When she was still a baby, her adoptive father went hunting and accidentally found her inside a wolf’s cave.”
“Even until today, she still doesn’t know who her real parents are, nor why they abandoned her.”
After hearing Zhong Wushiyao’s life story,
Mu Mengyi’s eyes began to sting as tears welled up.
“Her background… is both infuriating and heartbreaking.”
“That’s right!”
Tan Yun agreed before continuing.
“Later, she almost starved to death by the roadside. Fortunately, an elder of the sect passed by, saved her life, and brought her back to the sect.”
“After her adoptive parents died, and with no knowledge of who her real parents were…”
“since childhood, she became a quiet and withdrawn person who rarely spoke.”
Tan Yun paused for a moment,
then looked at Mu Mengyi seriously.
“But after I got to know her better, I discovered that… she is truly pure and sincere.”
“So I’m certain that the person who poisoned you was not her.”
After hearing this,
Mu Mengyi was filled with doubt.
“If it wasn’t her, then who could it be?”
Mu Mengyi thought for a moment,
then spoke.
“At that time, my strength and hers were actually very close.”
“Before the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition began, more than 1,000,000 outer sect disciples were discussing who would win…”
At that moment,
she suddenly remembered something.
Her expression instantly turned cold.
“Tan Yun!”
“If it wasn’t her who poisoned me, then it must have been Murong Kun and Liu Rulong!”
“Yes… it must be them!”
Tan Yun frowned in confusion.
“Why are you so certain?”
Mu Mengyi recalled the events of the past
before saying,
“At that time, Murong Kun was the bookmaker, and in the end the winner was Zhong Wushiyao.”
“But many disciples believed that I had a higher chance of winning, so they placed their bets on me.”
“If I had really won, Murong Kun would have lost a massive amount of spirit stones.”
“Moreover, Liu Rulong, her senior brother, is also one of Murong Kun’s subordinates.”
Mu Mengyi spoke angrily.
“Now that I think about it carefully… it must have been them!”
“If that’s the case, then it probably really was them.”
Tan Yun’s face darkened.
“As long as we capture them, the truth will be revealed!”
“Yes!”
Mu Mengyi clenched her teeth.
“If I don’t kill them, it will be hard for me to relieve this hatred!”
After calming down slightly,
Mu Mengyi raised her head and looked at Tan Yun.
Her clear, watery eyes stared at him meaningfully.
“You have some hidden plan, don’t you?”
Tan Yun was stunned.
His expression looked completely confused.
Mu Mengyi placed her hands on her waist
and spoke unhappily.
“Tell me the truth!”
“You tried so hard to clear up the misunderstanding between me and her…”
“Because you think she’s very beautiful, you couldn’t resist wanting to take her as another one, right?”
Tan Yun smiled and shook his head.
“The heart of a woman… is as deep as a needle sunk to the bottom of the ocean. That saying really is true.”
“Stop pretending to be stupid!”
Mu Mengyi said with a feigned angry expression.
“Right now the poisoning hasn’t been exposed yet, so she is still a suspect.”
“I won’t allow you to get close to her!”
She spoke seriously.
“Otherwise… otherwise I will never speak to you again for the rest of my life!”
“Hahaha, alright, alright. I’ll listen to you.”
Tan Yun laughed and looked at Mu Mengyi with great affection.
“That’s more like it.”
Mu Mengyi smiled sweetly.
But suddenly, she noticed that
at some unknown moment,
Tan Yun’s expression had turned serious.
“What’s wrong?”
Mu Mengyi asked worriedly.
She tightly held Tan Yun’s hand.
Her eyes were filled with concern.
Tan Yun spoke slowly.
“Mengyi, you are the woman I love the most in my heart.”
“There are some things… that I want to tell you.”
“Mmm, go ahead.”
Mu Mengyi nodded firmly.
Tan Yun took a deep breath
before speaking in a heavy voice.
“Wushiyao is a good girl.”
“I admit that after meeting her several times, I have begun to develop some good feelings toward her.”
“But… I cannot be with her.”
“Because if I did, I would ruin her life.”
Tan Yun continued,
“In truth, the same goes for you.”
“I’m afraid that one day… you will suffer because of me.”
“Tan Yun… what’s wrong with you?”
“Why are you suddenly saying these things?”
When she heard Tan Yun sounding as if he didn’t want to continue walking beside her,
2 streams of tears immediately flowed from Mu Mengyi’s eyes.
“You silly girl, don’t cry.”
Tan Yun raised his hand and wiped away her tears.
Then he pulled her down to sit on the lush green grass.
He took another deep breath
before speaking firmly.
“I will tell you about my origin.”
“My origin?”
Mu Mengyi pursed her lips.
Her face was filled with confusion…
