#365 - This feeling is very red lotus
Hearing Hong Lian's words, Qin Buyi smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course not, I just misspoke, a slip of the tongue."
Hong Lian glanced at the Heavenly Court ruins above the Little Thousand World, then looked Qin Buyi up and down, as if she were looking at a rare species.
There was doubt, incomprehension, and even a hint of戏谑 in her eyes...
Qin Buyi's scalp tingled from Hong Lian's gaze, and he quickly said, "Hong Lian, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that."
"Your gaze is giving me goosebumps, it's too scary."
Hong Lian said to Qin Buyi in a complex tone through voice transmission: "Qin Buyi, if I hadn't known you since you were in the Foundation Establishment Stage, I'm afraid I would think you were him like these people."
The 'him' in Hong Lian's mouth was definitely none other than Haotian, the Lord of the Ancient Primordial Heavenly Court.
Qin Buyi replied through voice transmission: "Are you talking about Haotian? You're comparing me to the Lord of the Ancient Primordial Heavenly Court, aren't you overestimating me too much?"
Qin Buyi said this because Hong Lian had always treated him with a condescending arrogance.
This arrogance was innate to Hong Lian, especially since she had seen all kinds of top experts in the ancient primordial era.
Hong Lian had seen the six ancient saints, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Nuwa Niangniang, Zhunti Daoren, and Jieyin Daoren.
And she had also seen the humility of these six people in front of Haotian.
Haotian was a being who became a saint in the chaos, how could these six people compare to him?
Even Hongjun, who was known as the number one person in the ancient primordial era, had to be polite to Haotian.
After experiencing these scenes, coupled with Hong Lian's unknown origins, her innate arrogance reached a new level, reaching a point where she looked down upon the world.
This time, unexpectedly, Hong Lian said: "Qin Buyi, compared to Haotian, I have to admit that you are more outstanding than him at the same stage."
Hong Lian's words made Qin Buyi fall silent for a moment.
After a while, Qin Buyi said to Hong Lian: "Hong Lian, are you serious?"
Hong Lian said: "I was serious when I said that. Haotian once told me about every stage of his cultivation."
"When Haotian was still very weak, he didn't have your current achievements. Whether it was combat power or cultivation realm, he was far behind you."
Hearing Hong Lian say this, Qin Buyi looked at Hong Lian suspiciously and said, "Hong Lian, what's wrong with you today? I feel like something's wrong. Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"You usually don't talk like this..."
Before Qin Buyi could finish speaking, he saw Hong Lian's already cold face suddenly become even colder, as if covered with a layer of frost.
Qin Buyi thought to himself, "Not good..."
As Qin Buyi expected, Hong Lian stretched out her right palm towards Qin Buyi beside her.
The jade-like palm was about to land on Qin Buyi's chest.
"Bang!"
Qin Buyi looked at Hong Lian's palm, trying everything he could to escape Hong Lian's lock.
But after trying all kinds of methods, he found that he was still locked by Hong Lian.
From Hong Lian's unremarkable palm, Qin Buyi felt a strong Dragon Gate Realm aura.
"Damn, Hong Lian... you don't have any martial ethics!" Qin Buyi shouted.
As soon as Qin Buyi finished speaking, a huge force came from his chest, and his entire body flew out for dozens of miles in an instant.
After stopping, Qin Buyi silently recited: "Eight Nine Mysterious Arts · Vertical Golden Light!"
After leaving a golden light in place, Qin Buyi returned to Hong Lian again.
Hong Lian looked at Qin Buyi playfully and said, "Is this how I feel to you now?"
Qin Buyi rubbed his aching chest and said speechlessly, "That's right this time..."
At the same time, Qin Buyi thought to himself, "She strikes without saying a word, as expected, this is very Hong Lian!"
"Fortunately, I'm resistant to beatings, and I'm in a forcibly bound state with Hong Lian, otherwise, with Hong Lian's personality, who knows what she would do..."
Qin Buyi recalled the Dragon Gate Realm aura on Hong Lian just now and asked, "Hong Lian, I've had a doubt in my heart for a long time. Can you clear up my doubts today?"
Hong Lian said, "What doubts?"
Qin Buyi said, "From the very beginning, when I was in the Golden Core Realm fighting Tang Zhentian of the Nascent Soul Realm in Qingyang City..."
"I wanted to ask you, your cultivation realm should be the same as mine, why can you burst out power that exceeds my cultivation realm?"
This question has indeed troubled Qin Buyi for a long time. The system's forced binding has already proven that the two's cultivation realms are the same, but Qin Buyi can never figure out Hong Lian's power.
Hong Lian said, "Are you trying to say that the great existence behind you used means to lock you and me together, why is my cultivation higher than yours, right?"
Qin Buyi nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about."
Hong Lian said, "I can't tell you this. You just need to know that I have my own means."
Hong Lian's answer made Qin Buyi a little helpless and said, "Hong Lian, what you said is basically the same as not saying anything."
Hong Lian was unwilling to say, so Qin Buyi naturally wouldn't pester her to ask.
However, Qin Buyi was still quite curious about what means Hong Lian was using.
"The means to break through the system lock must be extraordinary, but if you don't tell me, someone else will tell me."
Qin Buyi had already made up his mind to ask the system what was going on after this time.
Just as Qin Buyi's mind was racing, Hong Lian said to Qin Buyi without rhyme or reason, "Qin Buyi, are you really not him?"
"Um... Hong Lian, what did you just say?" Qin Buyi asked in confusion.
Hong Lian said, "It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it."
After saying this, Hong Lian looked at the Heavenly Court ruins in the sky of the Little Thousand World and said, "Qin Buyi, I'm going to take a look around the Heavenly Court above."
"I haven't had a good look at the Heavenly Court for so many years."
Qin Buyi said, "Go ahead."
Qin Buyi understood Hong Lian's thoughts very well. Everyone has their own cherished places.
Hong Lian's nostalgia for the Heavenly Court was basically the same as Qin Buyi's nostalgia for Blue Star.
When Qin Buyi first entered the Heavenly Court ruins, although Hong Lian was in the Heavenly Court, due to the limitations of the scene at the time and teaching Qin Buyi swordsmanship, she did not go to other places in the Heavenly Court to watch.
This time there were not so many restrictions, and Qin Buyi naturally would not interfere with Hong Lian's behavior.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Lian's figure instantly disappeared from Qin Buyi's side.
After Hong Lian disappeared, Qin Buyi came back to his senses and looked around.
But everyone around, including Qin Liang, revealed fear in their eyes.
Qin Buyi couldn't help but ask, "Qin Liang, Brother Wenhao, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Liang and Lan Wenhao looked at Qin Buyi and were speechless, thinking to themselves, "What's wrong? You're asking us what's wrong... Can't you feel it yourself?"
