I Will Go See the Mountain Myself

Everyone knew that Jiang Ruyue and Senior Brother Linyue of Wangxian Sect were passionately in love. All awaited the day they would live in harmony and grow old together.

Jiang Ruyue had been waiting for that day, too.

But what awaited her was the day Senior Brother Linyue cultivated the Heartless Way and fell into demonic cultivation...

That day, the demonic fiend Linyue stormed Wangxian Sect. He severed the tendons in the limbs of the master who had once taught him and hung him above the sect. He cut down the fellow disciples who had once fought alongside him...

Only then did she learn that she had been nothing but a tool in his revenge!

The sect was destroyed. That fiend sat on the sect leader's throne, his long fingers resting against his brow as he looked down at her with cold contempt.

"In consideration of the sincerity we once shared, I'll spare you today."

Jiang Ruyue's cultivation was destroyed, and she had no choice but to leave Wangxian Sect and go to a desolate mountain.

A young man sat atop the mountain, his eyes as lifeless as the barren slopes around him.

The moment he saw her, light gathered in his eyes.

"Miss... I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

Greenery began to sprout across the desolate mountain, and spiritual herbs covered the ground, a sign that the young man was no ordinary person.

Jiang Ruyue regained her strength. As she prepared to leave, the young man chased after her. "Take me with you!"

Jiang Ruyue: I have to go back for revenge.

Gu Changqing: I know.

The young man had never left the mountain and did not know where he had come from.

But he felt a peculiar familiarity with Jiang Ruyue, as if they had known each other for hundreds of years.

Jiang Ruyue gradually realized that he resembled someone.

The young Immortal Venerable Linyue, before he fell into demonic cultivation...

Jiang Ruyue: Gu Changqing... If you really are him, should I kill you? Or what?

The moment Gu Changqing opened his eyes, he was already keeping watch on the mountain.

There was nothing there except rocks and a few spirits.

With no father or mother, and no idea where he had come from, he spent his days sitting on the mountaintop, gazing in one particular direction.

He did not know why.

He just felt that something in that direction was pulling at his heart.

At last, one day,

a carriage slowly approached. A lovely young woman with peach-blossom cheeks stepped down. She seemed unwell, and her full lips were pale.

With just one glance, she seized Gu Changqing's heart.

He understood.

This was the woman he had been waiting for...

When she said she wanted revenge, he followed her without hesitation.

When they reached Wangxian Sect, the demonic fiend Linyue she had spoken of looked down on all things from above.

In an instant, Gu Changqing felt a resonance within himself with that Immortal Venerable.

The Immortal Venerable Linyue sneered. "So that's who it is. A sliver of the emotional soul I discarded."

When she learned the truth, she tried to run. Gu Changqing clamped a hand around her wrist and trapped her in a narrow corner. His eyes were bloodshot with possessiveness. "I'm not him! You are not allowed to leave my side! If you don't believe me, I'll kill him with my own hands and show you!"

(If the twenty-eight-year-old me doesn't love you, the eighteen-year-old me will go back and kill him!)

(I see all living beings as grass and trees, but you alone as a green mountain.)

True love never dies!
