When Ruan Xinrou heard that her fourth senior brother was about to finish his seclusion, she instantly beamed with joy.

Of all her fellow disciples, the one she devoted the most effort to was her fourth senior brother, Yan Chiling.

The fourth senior brother was different from the other fellow disciples. He was a half-human, half-demon boy brought back by the master from the demon race. He had one more skill than the other cultivators: illusion.

Ruan Xinrou valued his illusion magic highly, so he was the first person she tried to win over.

At that time, Ruan Xinrou had just arrived at the sect. Yan Chiling and Bai Ying had a very good relationship. They were about the same age and had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, so it was difficult for Ruan Xinrou to fit in.

Moreover, Yan Chiling has special feelings for Bai Ying.

I heard that Yan Chiling said since he was very young that he would definitely marry Bai Ying in the future. He treats Bai Ying very well, and everyone thinks that it's only a matter of time before they become Daoist partners.

At that time, Ruan Xinrou tried very hard to win over Yan Chiling, but Yan Chiling didn't take her seriously at all. He didn't even acknowledge her.

Even after she had won over all her fellow disciples and gained their favor towards her, Yan Chiling remained steadfastly on Bai Ying's side.

He always said he believed in Bai Ying and had been encouraging her. He even harbored hatred towards Ruan Xinrou because of this.

Yan Chiling is really savage; he would even teach Bai Ying a lesson for her sake.

Later, when Ruan Xinrou had no other choice, she used a lot of points and the system to exchange for items and forcibly transferred Yan Chiling's feelings for Bai Ying to herself.

From that day on, Yan Chiling changed.

The person who used to spend all his free time with Bai Ying never went to see her again. Instead, he frequently appeared by Ruan Xinrou's side, showing her concern and care.

Ruan Xinrou watched as Bai Ying's expectations turned into disappointment, and as her face grew increasingly pale and ashen.

Now even the last person standing by her side was gone. She was truly all alone.

Yan Chiling's feelings for Bai Ying are truly intense. When his feelings are transferred to Ruan Xinrou, his actions become extremely reckless and terrifying.

Whenever Ruan Xinrou cries to Yan Chiling that she was bullied by Bai Ying, he will attack Bai Ying. He will really beat Bai Ying and kill her!

Ruan Xinrou found it amusing to recall Bai Ying's confusion at the time.

She felt extremely pleased when she saw Bai Ying being severely injured by Yan Chiling and crying all alone in the little house she had built.

Spending a lot of points to transfer Yan Chiling's feelings to herself was the most worthwhile thing Ruan Xinrou ever did.

Now that Yan Chiling is about to emerge from seclusion, Ruan Xinrou is naturally in a very good mood.

As long as Yan Chiling, that mad dog, is around, he will definitely try his best to help him and then bite Bai Ying to death.

—

Ruan Xinrou waited quietly in her room for two days, and finally the system announced that Yan Chiling had emerged from seclusion.

She silently counted the numbers in her mind.

Before she could finish a cup of tea, she heard Yan Chiling knocking on her door, calling out, "Junior Sister."

Are you in such a hurry to see me?

Ruan Xinrou's lips curled up, revealing a smug smile.

But the next moment she immediately pretended to be teary-eyed and went to open the door.

Upon seeing the person in front of him clearly, he exclaimed in surprise:

"Fourth Senior Brother...you've emerged from seclusion?"

Yan Chiling was already extremely anxious to see Ruan Xinrou.

Seeing her now, my eyes are overflowing with longing.

He gently stroked Ruan Xinrou's cheek with his fingers. "Xinrou, I'm sorry you had to suffer."

Yan Chiling was already furious when he heard that Ruan Xinrou had been punished with solitary confinement. Now, seeing her looking so aggrieved, his anger burned even more fiercely.

"Was it Bai Ying who did it? I'm going to kill her right now!"

"Senior brother!" Ruan Xinrou quickly stopped him, "Don't go, you'll be punished too."

Ruan Xinrou's goal was not to kill Bai Ying; she only wanted to seize the luck within her.

"Senior brother, can you do me a favor? Bai Ying is very strong now, and I want to defeat her."

Ruan Xinrou wanted Yan Chiling to help her cheat, as she planned to defeat Bai Ying herself after she was released from confinement.

As long as Yan Chiling can trap Bai Ying with illusion magic, she will be able to defeat her, and then all the people who like Bai Ying will come to like her.

After all, in the cultivation world, strength reigns supreme. Everything depends on power.

To everyone's surprise, Yan Chiling immediately shook his head after hearing Ruan Xinrou's suggestion, "You're too kind. Winning against Bai Ying like this is meaningless."

Ruan Xinrou frowned: "Then what should we do?"

Yan Chiling coldly laughed: "Doesn't Bai Ying like to show off? Then I'll make sure every bit of her limelight is for you, and all her efforts will be in vain, all used to fulfill your wishes!"

Ruan Xinrou's eyes widened in disbelief; she had never imagined that Bai Ying could be the one to do the work for her.

"You can do it this way... What are you planning to do, senior brother?"

"Isn't the sect about to hold the Demon Suppression Tower challenge? At that time, I will use illusion magic to transform Bai Ying into your appearance, so that no one else can tell. I will also give her the illusion that she is fighting for herself. When she finally manages to win all the rewards and everyone's favor, I will take them all away. I will make her wake up from the illusion and return to reality."

Then she'll realize she gained nothing and only benefited you. If she then tries to challenge you, I'll help you defeat her. Her reputation will plummet! All her former admirers will turn to you! Wouldn't she be finished?

Ruan Xinrou's breathing became heavy as she listened to Yan Chiling's words; she never imagined such a good thing could happen.

Sure enough, the points she spent weren't wasted. She turned Yan Chiling into the sharpest weapon against Bai Ying.

"But I'm still in solitary confinement and can't go to the Demon Suppression Tower to challenge it."

Yan Chiling patted his chest and said, "What are you afraid of with me here? I'll contact Master right away and ask him for an imperial edict so you can come out ahead of time."

Master is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage; the sect leader can't possibly refuse him this favor.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Ruan Xinrou immediately beamed with joy; she hadn't been this happy in a long time.

—

After saying this, Yan Chiling immediately went to Bai Ying's residence to find her.

He couldn't wait to put his plan into action from the moment he saw Bai Ying.

He immediately appeared in front of Bai Ying, and without saying a word to her, he began to use his illusion magic.

His eyes instantly turned a wild green as he stared straight at Bai Ying.

"From this moment on, you are Ruan Xinrou. You must not only participate in the Demon Suppression Tower challenge held by the sect, but also give it your all and shine brightly. Let everyone know the name Ruan Xinrou."

Yan Chiling smiled smugly after saying this. Little did she know that Bai Ying's eyes only clouded over for a moment, but quickly cleared up.
