"Your brother?" Wei Ze remembered the boy in the mirror. No wonder he was so similar to Jiang Ling.

"If it weren't for him, I should have died." Jiang Ling smiled faintly, "Brother is a person who seems to be able to laugh at any time. He is much smarter than me and has a lot of talent. Since he was a child, he told me that what those people taught us was not real immortal skills, so he didn't allow me to practice those, but he himself kept doing it according to those people's requirements - in order to take me out of there one day, he did it in the end."

Wei Zeran was silent. He had seen the picture of the Jade of Time and naturally knew the ending of the story.

"In order to take me to escape to this city, my brother overdraws his body and used his last spiritual power to help me suppress the demon seed, but he was killed by the evil magic. Before his death, his body was emptied by the demon seed, and his body was covered in blood. He struggled for a day and a night before he died. And I, until the end, was just the useless kid behind him... I really hate myself like that."

"That's why you have to learn from him to live?" Wei Ze asked.

"I said just now that this is the only way I can survive." Jiang Ling smiled, "I thought that only by asking for real immortal arts, I could suppress this influence and live like a normal person... But it turns out that I am too naive. Whether I wish or not, anyone who has been infected with evil arts will be destined to be unable to escape for the rest of my life. From the beginning, I should not have hoped to be saved."

Wei Ze sat quietly and looked at her and smiled, as if the smile was stuck to her face.

"So Teacher Wei, you don't have to be burdened. Killing someone like me will not have an impact on your immortal character. After all, this is to eliminate harm for the people." She joked, "And, during this period of time at Kunlun University, I have learned a lot. Sometimes I really think I have been accepted by everyone. If it weren't for the arrival of this spiritual wave, I might have lived a few more days. Even if it was more one day... I would have made a lot of money in this wave! Unfortunately, I didn't make any money."

Jiang Ling closed her eyes: "Teacher Wei, do what you should do. After I die, I must crush my bones and ashes, so that the evil magic will not be revealed. As for others, just tell them that I failed the exam and was expelled home. In this case, at least they think I am a happy normal person... Although it is hypocritical to do this, it would be better if I can make others a little happier because of my existence and make life a little brighter."

She seemed to remember something and then said, "Ah, by the way, especially Qingqing, don't let her know about me. Before I met her, I really couldn't imagine that there would be such a simple person in the world. Her kindness shouldn't be defiled by me. We should have lived in a different world."

The secret room was silent for a moment, and Wei Ze quietly looked at the young girl. Her face was reflected in the faint golden light, and at this time she finally stopped laughing.

"Since you said you had anticipated these things, why did you still come to Kunlun University?"

Jiang Ling opened her eyes suddenly, as if she was stopped by him.

"Orthodox practice of immortals can suppress evil thoughts. In theory, a strong enough soul can even digest the inner demons. You came to this university for this, right?" Wei Ze said, "That is to say, you still want to have a glimmer of life before you give up."

Jiang Ling lowered her eyes: "…I'm sorry, Teacher Wei."

"Why do you say sorry?"

"Just you said, I do want to live." Jiang Ling whispered, "But my life will only cause trouble for people, just like my brother did back then. Even though I knew this, I still came to this Kunlun University, still thinking about pursuing immortality, and thinking about getting the same life as others. I am so selfish..."

"Stop, that's all."

Wei Ze knocked on the floor and interrupted her: "What do you think of this university as? Because of a student's problem, this school can't bear it? Kunlun University is not so fragile."

Jiang Ling was stunned: "Teacher Wei..."

"I have said before that you must find your own way. Since you have been selected by this university and come here, you are all qualified to go your own way. No matter who you are - don't look at me so much. Have you forgotten the university purpose I mentioned at the beginning of school? Memorize it for me."

"Don't determine success or failure by qualification..." Jiang Ling murmured blankly, "Don't judge heroes by origin."

"Don't you remember this well? I don't know anything else, but as long as you are in Kunlun University, you are just a student. In this way, it's good to do what students should do - for example, now, you should accept the past self like others."

He said this and stretched out his hand, took out the small mirror that Yuan Qingqing gave him in his arms and placed it in front of Jiang Ling. It was obvious that she knew this thing, and when she saw the pattern, her face was full of shock: "This is... Qingqing..."

"Don't look down on this school or the students here, no matter which side, they are not so fragile that they can't even bear such things. In this university, as long as you want, you are always qualified to pursue happiness."

Wei Ze pushed the mirror to her: "Of course, the most important thing is not to look down on yourself. Even if you have any self you don't want to face, it's still you. So, you don't have to keep a smile deliberately, nor do you have to pretend that others like, because you are worthy of everything you yearn for."

Jiang Ling turned her eyes sideways and looked at her face in the mirror, her eyes were a little red.

"What did Qingqing say?"

"She wants to save you, which is what we are doing now, and you deserve it." Wei Ze said, "University is to help students realize their dreams. So, if you have enough courage, keep moving forward. No one will mind your past identity. We all hope that you can live with your head held high. As for other things, it is not too late to talk about them later. If your dream is to live, everyone will stand on your side."

Jiang Ling raised her hand with difficulty and stroked the mirror carefully. The glimmer reflected from the mirror reflected in her eyes, as if it was the biggest treasure in the world.

"Teacher Wei, if you treat me so well, I will cry."

She laughed again, but her voice choked.

"Teacher, I don't want to... let others see me crying."

For a moment, the air was so quiet that even the sound of breath seemed to disappear. In this silence, Wei Zezhong stood up, walked out of the room under the girl's gaze, and closed the door to the inner room.

He turned around, Yan Ruyu and Shangguan Yuning were standing outside.

"Use all the heart sutra techniques you can use, and restart the inner demon prison formation." Wei Ze glanced at the two of them, "In three days, let her survive the second inner demon disaster."

The two looked at each other, and then Shangguan Yuning said, "Mr. Wei, you have to think about it. The mental power consumption of the inner demon prison on people is huge, not to mention that her inner demon is so strong that it can cause substantial damage to her. The last time she forced her to escape from her soul had damaged her soul, if she fails this time... it will be really irreversible."

"I know." Wei Ze nodded, "But as teachers, we should do what the school should do."

Shangguan Yuning stopped talking. Instead, Yan Ruyu beside her closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, and spoke quietly.

"Before the second tribulation, I used the Heart Sutra technique to protect her Taoist heart, and perhaps she could slightly resist the influence of the inner demon." Yan Ruyu said, "But that's all. Only the cultivator can touch the inner demons themselves, and no one except herself can provide help on this."

"That's enough, believe her the rest." Wei Ze said, "After all, she is also a student of Kunlun University."

...

At the same time, in the room separated by a wall, Jiang Ling tightened the small mirror with peony flowers engraved in her hand, and looked at her face from there, with tears on it.
