Chapter 3284: I Just Am This Pure and Beautiful

“What, are you trying to save the world? Ha, what are you, some halo-wearing white lotus reincarnation of the Guanyin Bodhisattva?” The voice dripped with sarcasm.

Ning Shu shook out her hand. “Thanks for the compliment—I just am this pure and beautiful.”

Mei Ziqing shouted, “Le Qing, give up on this! Don’t go on like this, I’m begging you!”

“There’s no turning back for me. I can only keep going like this. You think those people up there will let me go? Only by taking over the plane—only this way—can I survive.”

Le Qing’s voice came through the formation. His voice was unexpectedly clear and bright.

Mei Ziqing stared blankly, tears streaming down her face. “It’s all my fault. I should’ve stopped you back then. I should’ve never allowed you to keep going down the wrong path.”

“Wrong? How was I ever wrong?”

“I didn’t do anything wrong. No—I did nothing wrong. Task-takers, immortality—those are just tools for the people above to enslave us.

“You don’t dare resist. You take the rules they made as the standard for right and wrong. And now you’re using those same rules to judge me? Mei Ziqing, you’re utterly hopeless.”

The clear voice in the formation was filled with rage. “I want to break free of these rules, and you say I’m wrong? What exactly am I wrong about?”

Mei Ziqing opened her mouth, but couldn’t speak. Tears streamed down her face. “If you keep going like this, you’ll be eliminated, Le Qing.”

“As long as I merge successfully with the Heavenly Dao of this world, no one will be able to touch me,” Le Qing said coldly. “You’re not going to ruin this for me, are you? Take this woman with you and get lost.”

He meant Ning Shu.

Ning Shu sat on the ground, catching her breath as she listened to Le Qing and Mei Ziqing talk.

In summary, Mei Ziqing felt that if Le Qing continued like this, he would be erased—and that harming living beings would never be forgiven by the higher-ups.

Meanwhile, Le Qing was desperate to break free of this enslavement and was disgusted by Mei Ziqing trying to apply task-taker rules to him.

Basically, they both thought the other person was wrong.

Mei Ziqing cried out to Le Qing with all her heart, “Le Qing, Le Qing, can’t you just stop now? I’m begging you.”

“If you give up, I’ll find a way to save you, to keep you from being eliminated. Please, think of me, won’t you?”

Le Qing said nothing. The formation above was still spinning—and its range seemed to be expanding again.

Ning Shu: …

“Uh, what do we do now?” Ning Shu asked Mei Ziqing. This was frustrating.

Just watching from the side made Ning Shu feel exhausted.

It was a clash of ideals and values.

The two still had love—sure—but principles and philosophy stood between them. This love might be headed for collapse.

Why hadn’t the higher-ups shown up yet?

Ning Shu felt like she was stuck in an impossible situation.

Should she fight or not?

The formation was continuing to expand.

Ning Shu looked at Mei Ziqing, and Mei Ziqing said, “Please, please help me stop him.”

“What if you blame me later?” Ning Shu spread her hands.

It was like someone crying to you, “My husband blah blah blah,” and you say, “Wow, he sucks. Just divorce him already.”

But then she says, “My husband isn’t that bad. We’re fine. We’re not getting divorced.”

What are you supposed to do?

Mei Ziqing’s face was pale, her whole body weak, but she said to Ning Shu slowly and firmly, “I can still tell right from wrong.”

“It’s Le Qing who doesn’t understand. With his current power, he can’t break free from the rules,” Mei Ziqing said, looking up at the formation in the sky. “Only the strong have the right to speak, the right to make rules. Why can’t Le Qing see that?”

Mei Ziqing looked heartbroken.

Ning Shu rolled her neck. “I’ll give it a try. When are the higher-ups going to show up?”

Mei Ziqing looked bleak. “If they do show up, it’ll be Le Qing’s death sentence.”

“Then what do you suggest?” Ning Shu asked.

“If we destroy the formation before things get worse, maybe… maybe they won’t kill Le Qing.”

Ning Shu: “Uh…”

The life force of dozens of kilometers was already gone. It wasn’t like the higher-ups were blind.
