After being expelled from the sect, I became the villain mentor

"Ling Qing wants to..."

Before Yu Nian could react, the familiar system prompt sound came to his ears again.

[Congratulations to the host for stopping the Seven Star Lantern disaster and saving millions of people. You have earned 500 Peach and Plum Points, bringing your total points to 2047. Your Teacher Level is 3, unlocking the third floor of the Library and the Level 3 Exchange Shop.]

She? Stop the Seven Star Lamp Disaster?

Yu Nian was completely confused. She just took a nap, so how did she stop it?

She stood up and noticed her surroundings, as well as the lamps scattered on the ground and two bodies lying on the ground not far away.

Looking at the familiar clothes, Yu Nian slowly walked towards the two lifeless people. When he was about five or six meters away and could see their appearance clearly, he froze in his place.

Ling Qing, just died like that?

Who is that woman in white dress and white hair?

What happened after she passed out?

"Master, what are you looking at?" Just when Yu Nian was confused, Ling Cang's voice sounded from behind her.

This voice brought Yu Nian back to his senses from his confused thoughts. He turned around and raised his eyes, and met Ling Cang's calm eyes.

At this moment, Yu Nian really couldn't find any suitable words. After a moment of silence, he said, "My condolences."

"Master, do you think I'm in pain and very sad?" Ling Cang looked at Yu Nian and said slowly, "Or to put it another way, Master, do you think I should be in pain and very sad?"

Looking at Ling Cang's calm face, Yu Nian was suddenly speechless.

"I should be in pain and grief, because those lying there are my parents." Ling Cang looked at the two people lying in the middle of the ice of Tianchi, and then continued, "After all, this is what a filial son should do."

Yu Nian remained silent, just looking at Ling Cang and listening to him speak.

"But I'm not in pain, nor am I sad... I think I'm not a good son at all." Ling Cang's eyes were calm, neither happy nor sad. "I can't cry like other people."

After Ling Cang finished speaking, this pearl in the sky was silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Cang suddenly asked, "Master, do you know the difference between gods and demons?"

Hearing this familiar question, Yu Nian was stunned and bewildered for a moment.

More than a month ago, when they were watching the opera "The Soul Returning Plan", Ling Qing also asked her this strange question.

For some reason, Ling Cang asked him the same question again at this time.

Just as Yu Nian was considering his words and preparing to speak, Ling Cang answered on his own.

"When both gods and demons fall in love with someone who goes against the will of heaven, the gods will kill that person for the sake of all people in the world, and the demons will kill everyone in the world for that person.

God's heart is too big, and he boasts that justice can embrace all things in the world. However, justice in the world has nothing to do with the devil. The devil only cares about the well-being of the people in his heart.

If one day, the person you love dies, and there is a way to save him or her, but this method is evil and vicious, and will kill countless people and cause a heinous crime, what will you do?

Should he give up his lover for the sake of the world like Yuntian, or should he risk the world's condemnation for the sake of the one he loves like Mo Li?

His father, Ling Qing, struggled between these two choices for decades, and finally chose the latter.

There are some things that you must do even if you know you can't do them. The reason is simple: if you don't do it, you will never see the person you love again.

He doesn't care whether Ling Qing is selfish or guilty. His goal is simple and clear. He doesn't care about anything else. He just wants the person in his heart to be well.

The night after Ling Xing's death, Ling Cang looked up at the sky and asked himself over and over again, what would he do if he were his father Ling Xing?

There is no doubt that he would make the same choice. He and Ling Xing are the same type of people.

However, he would be more decisive and resolute than Ling Qing. He would be better and more fully prepared and would not leave any loopholes or handles.

"Master, do you like gods or demons?" Thinking of this, Ling Cang looked at Yu Nian with a firm and serious expression and asked, as if if Yu Nian did not answer this question, he would betray his master and ancestors on the spot.

It's the same question again. Why does she have to answer so many questions? Being a master is really too difficult for her...

Yu Nian thought for a moment, then looked at Ling Cang and said, "I have no way to answer this question, so I can't say which one I prefer. Whether it's the pure white god or the pure black devil, they are too far away from us because we are human.

Since ancient times, there have been two theories about human nature: good and evil. However, in my opinion, neither the pure white goodness of God nor the pure black evil of the devil is enough to describe the complex existence of human beings. If I must describe it, it should be gray.

Ling Cang still stared at her intently, as if asking her to continue. Yu Nian had no choice but to rack her brains and talk about the origin of this problem.

"If I really want to comment on the gods and demons, I personally despise Yuntian's actions. Because of a false and absurd prophecy, he threatened to kill his lover for the sake of all living beings in the world... Did he ever consider at the time that this prophecy was simply false?

As future generations, looking back on this matter, we may confirm the authenticity of this prophecy.

However, if we analyze it carefully, we find that this prophecy is ridiculous, because all the disasters started from this prophecy, but in the end the disasters proved its authenticity. Such a prophecy is simply a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I never believe in fate, let alone prophecies, but there are still people in this world who foolishly believe these absurd and ridiculous nonsense."

Yu Nian paused and continued, "As for Mo Li, I can only say that his methods are too radical. Although I don't know what disaster resurrecting Zi Han will bring, I don't agree with harming innocent people in order to resurrect a loved one."

Having said this, Yu Nian felt dry-mouthed and at a loss for words.

However, Ling Cang's expression remained unchanged, staring at her without blinking, which made her feel uneasy.

Why can’t I just fool you?

Why is it so difficult to be a master? What does she need to do? What does she need to say? Does she really need to give a definite answer to this question and must choose one of the two?

"...If I really have to choose one, I'd choose Mo Li." Yu Nian was about to kneel down in front of Ling Cang, and he forced out an answer.

Ling Cang, who had been keeping an eye on Yu Nian, blinked and said slowly, "You have good vision."

Yu Nian: “???”

Before Yu Nian could figure out why Ling Cang suddenly said the word "good vision", Ling Cang had already taken a step towards Ling Qing and Tang Li behind him.

Ling Cang looked with a complicated expression at the two people lying on the ice in the open air, who were frozen into ice sculptures due to the low temperature. Then he glanced away and looked at the lanterns arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper.

Then, Ling Cang's pupils shrank.

At this moment, there were only six ordinary lamps left on the ground, and the Seven-Star Lamp, the divine artifact refined by Mo Li, had long disappeared.

Ling Cang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly without making a fuss or getting shocked.

It seems that someone came to Tianchi last night and stole the Seven Star Lamp while he was holding Yu Nian and walking out of the Tiangang Beidou formation, sitting on the ground and staring at the starry sky above his head in a daze.

Who on earth was this person? Not only did he know the secret of the Seven Star Lamp, but he was also able to evade his and Qionghua's perception and take the Seven Star Lamp away without anyone noticing or leaving a trace...

Just as Ling Cang was thinking, Yu Nian patted his shoulder and said, "Ling Cang, do you want to take the body of Patriarch Ling and your mother back with you?"

Ling Cang was silent for a moment, then said, "No need."
