Steal The Male Lead

Fei Qianchi stared at Zhu Longwang. These words should be making him happy, yet, he wasn't.

"Don't lie, Longwang." Fei Qianchi shook his head with a sneer. "What's the point in lying now? Everyone has lied to me."

Hearing his reply, Zhu Longwang looked as if he wanted to reach to the man, but he stopped himself, "Fei Shang is worried. Immortal Tian and your senior brothers and sisters are worried about you. Your junior sister has been wanting to come see you but you have sealed away your peak."

Hearing this, Fei Qianchi closed his eyes.

At that moment, Ran Mengyu's voice rung out. "Don't trust him, he's lying to you. If he cared for you, he never would've pushed you away. He wouldn't have waited this long to appear by your side. He is merely here to sneer at your pain."

These words rung deeper in his core. Fei Qianchi believed these words.

"No, you are merely here to gloat about my misery." Fei Qianchi turned away, his white hair drifting. "Please leave. Mengxiang Peak will be closed to everyone. At this moment, I don't need any of you."

There was a sharp inhale of breath behind him. But Fei Qianchi didn't look back as he walked away towards the window where the pond outside was.

The man's steps were quiet as he finally walked away after a moment.

There was no one here but Fei Qianchi. At this moment, it felt like his whole life was crumbing before his eyes. Who could he blame but himself?

"Qianchi," A voice called out from behind him.

"Have you already returned?" Fei Qianchi knew who it was without looked back. Only this man stayed by his side. His words were right, from the beginning, he was helping him.

Ran Mengyu walked up next to his side. The man looked out at the pond, following Fei Qianchi's sight. "It isn't your fault. Everyone betrayed you, they all lied to you. Righteous cultivators are people who judge and slander. One little stain is enough for everyone to slowly alienate you." The man's words were comforting.

Fei Qianchi didn't know why Ran Mengyu was helping him. At this moment, he felt inclined to rely on this man.

"Why are you here?" Fei Qianchi asked. There was a biting coldness to his voice, his eyes were clouded, unable to be discern.

The man's lips lifted. "I want to show you that not all demonic cultivators are evil. Lianghe wouldn't tell you so I have to."

"It concerns Fushui Sect and Su Lizhuang, doesn't it?" Fei Qianchi already guessed that something had happened between Su Lizhuang and Su Lianghe.

"Yes." Ran Mengyu replied with a scoff. "Back then, ten thousands years ago, Su Lianghe was known as the most talented man. He was an orphan, gifted with rare roots. He was set to ascend into Heaven in less than three thousands years. At that time, Su Lizhuang had failed to ascend into the Immortal Realm three times already. Along with the Fushui Sect, Su Lizhuang colluded to steal Su Lianghe's roots."

There was a loud wind, blowing and breaking the surface of the pond as Ran Mengyu continued to speak. There was anger in his voice, a dark wave of energy coming from his body.

Fei Qianchi remained unmoved, listening closely.

"I had known Lianghe for some time. We were close." Ran Mengyu showed a rare smile. His yellow eyes sparkled. "Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to him in time. By the time I arrived, they had already dug out his roots, destroyed his core, and blinded him. I... was too weak to stop them. They sealed and forced his spirit to remain on the desolate mountain. That was why he was chained. For eternity, Lianghe will remain chained and unable to reincarnate because of the seal casted upon him."
