Fantasy: The Empress Betrayed, I Backhandedly Choose the System

Ji Chen was stunned.

But it was only a moment of sluggishness, and he immediately shook his head and said: "The saint is not an ominous existence. I have been by her side for so long, and she has taught me a lot. If it wasn't for her, I might have died .She is a good person, how can she bring misfortune?"

The child laughed, and he said: "If it's not what they say, it would be great! In fact, I just secretly saw the appearance of the saintess sister. She is so beautiful, she is not what the tribe said at all. !"

Ji Chen frowned.

He wanted to ask that child, what kind of existence is Wen Lingyu in the population of their tribe?

But when the words came to his lips, he hesitated for a moment, and swallowed them again.

He didn't dare to ask, and didn't want to ask.

I didn't dare because I was worried that Wen Lingyu on the altar would hear it.

How sad would it be if she knew that her favorite tribe was talking about her behind her back?
I don't think it's because Ji Chen doesn't care what others say about her. It's right or wrong to judge whether a person is good or bad. Ji Chen never likes to judge based on other people's words.

In his heart, Wen Lingyu is a good person.

She is his master, his friend, and his sister.

These concepts cannot be changed by a few words of others.

And he didn't intend to change anything.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen took the initiative to look away from the child just now.But he didn't expect that when he didn't take the initiative to talk, the other children who heard them talking next to him also started chirping:
"Er Zhuang, what are you talking about? Isn't a beautiful person a bad person? My mother told me that the more beautiful a person is, the worse his heart is! Maybe the saint is so beautiful that she will Bring misfortune to others!"

"Ah, that's right! My mother said the same thing! She also told me not to go up the mountain alone. Because the saint will charm others. If I go up the mountain and see her, I won't be able to go back alive."

"Little brother, you won't have been charmed by her, have you?"

"It's so pitiful..."

There were more and more voices, and Ji Chen's hand hanging by his side was clenched tighter and tighter.

He gritted his teeth and looked back around.

Those children looked at him with blinking eyes, their eyes full of innocence unique to children.

Ji Chen could tell that they were not lying, nor were they doing any mischief.

They are really just repeating the "truths" instilled in them by the adults in the family, without adding any other emotions.

So this is not a child's lie, but in the hearts of the entire spirit clan, Wen Lingyu is really their disaster?
The more Ji Chen thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Looking at Wen Lingyu who was working hard on the altar, his heart was throbbing.

She is still praying hard for her people.

But those so-called tribesmen, are they worthy?
The more Ji Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, but he didn't dare to reveal the fact that he was a demon cultivator, and he didn't want to make Wen Lingyu sad on this occasion.

So he could only grit his teeth and wait and see. After the ceremony was completely over and the spirit clan members fled away from the top of the mountain, Ji Chen walked up to Wen Lingyu and asked her in a low voice: "Master, are you busy?" It's been a day, are you tired?"

Wen Lingyu nodded.

All day long, she has been chanting and dancing.This consumes not only physical energy, but also spiritual energy all the time.So no matter how good the body is, there is a thin layer of sweat on the forehead at this time.

Wen Lingyu took off the mask she had been wearing all day, revealing her little red face underneath.Smiling gently in Ji Chen's direction, she said, "I'm a little tired indeed, but it's okay! If I get a little tired, I can exchange for the peace of the entire spirit clan, and that would be the best thing for me! "

After saying this, Wen Lingyu stretched her limbs and moved her stiff body.Then she pointed in the direction of the tent where the two of them lived, and she said, "Ji Chen, I'll go to rest for a while, you can play by yourself for a while, don't worry about me, I'm just too tired, it's nothing serious."

After saying this, she walked out towards the room.

Ji Chen watched her back from behind, quietly not chasing her.

It wasn't until Wen Lingyu entered the room that Ji Chen sat down where he was, emptied his mind, and silently recited the requiem spell that Wen Lingyu taught him.

After a while, he heard the sound of surrounding vegetation.

Plants and trees are different from humans, their minds are purer and their thoughts are simpler.So they don't cheat and answer every question.

After making sufficient preparations in his heart, Ji Chen asked, "Did you all hear what those children said to me during today's ceremony?"

"I heard it, of course I heard it."

"You humans can't hear our voice, but we can always hear your voice very clearly!"

Ji Chen lightly touched the surrounding vegetation twice with his fingertips, and then he continued to ask: "Have you heard any similar rumors about the things he said? I mean, are those words from adults? To scare the children, to prevent them from going up the mountain, or..."

"That's what they thought in their hearts. In the conversation of the group of people down the mountain, this is an open matter, not a secret at all."

"Yeah, every time they go up the mountain during the festival, they are reluctant. They are afraid that the disasters carried by the saint will infect them. They actually hate the saint."

"They say that the Holy Maiden is a burden to the entire spirit race, that she is both a disaster and cannot be eliminated. You don't have to do anything every day, and you can wait on the mountain for someone to bring her food. They are all cursing the Holy Maiden to die quickly, No one expected her presence."

Ji Chen's eyes widened.

This information completely surpassed his imagination, but he still struggled and asked again: "Others can do this, but what about her parents? Her biological parents, don't they think so too?"

"Her biological parents were ostracized to death in her second year on the mountain, and she didn't know about it."

"Humans are really strange creatures. I admit that this girl does have a lot of aura, but her talent is not as good as yours. I don't understand why you treat her like this."

"So human beings are the worst race. Fortunately, I am not human!"

"But little Jichen, are you going to tell that girl these things?"

The last question was also what Ji Chen was thinking about.

Is he going to tell Wen Lingyu?

...

Off the screen, Wen Lingyu watched all this, she was so shocked that she couldn't cry.

What is this?
Is it fake?

How could her people say that about her?
Were they not her best and only sustenance?

But if they really regarded her as one of the same race, why did they treat her like that?How many years has she lived alone on the mountain without anyone talking to her? Is this the way she should treat her family?

The deepest pillar in her heart began to shake. If that was the case, she didn't even know what the reason for her thousand years of hatred was.

For a group of people who didn't expect her to exist, to hate Ji Chen for so long?

Wen Lingyu's hand holding the sword began to tremble, almost unable to grasp the long sword in his hand.

She didn't want to read it, she didn't dare to read it.

But there is a voice in her heart reminding her that she must read it, this is the truth she should know the most.

Seeing that Wen Lingyu was about to give up his fighting spirit, Lu Tian hurried over to remind him: "Perhaps your ordinary clansmen are right to think so, but don't forget, there is also your patriarch grandpa! Even if others hate you, You deserve to die, but the patriarch grandpa was kind to you, right? Ji Chen killed him, you saw it with your own eyes, so you should continue to hate Ji Chen, there's nothing wrong with that!"

Wen Lingyu didn't respond.

Everyone around looked at her with sympathy.

Wen Lingyu just continued to look in the direction of the screen, and Lu Tian's comfort just now echoed in her mind.

She also has the patriarch grandpa.

She prayed earnestly in her heart, praying that the patriarch grandpa would not be like those people.Pray that the gentleness she thought was really gentle.

On the screen, Ji Chen had already communicated with Cao Mu. He went back to the room, looked at Wen Lingyu who had recovered from his strength, and said seriously: "Master, there is something I want to tell you."
