Ruan Xinrou's face was pale and unpleasant.

She was already troubled because Bai Ying was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while she was at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Yan Chiling advised her to break through quickly, so that no one would be able to spot her flaws.

But breaking through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment is not an easy feat. Even though Yan Chiling gave her a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills, she still felt a lot of pressure.

Now, it's the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Breaking Slash again. What is she going to do?

—

Outside the Demon-Suppressing Tower, everyone was chanting Ruan Xinrou's name.

Everyone was shocked by her Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Piercing Slash.

The Grand Elder even had someone temporarily summon everyone who was still in the challenge.

The Grand Elder had just watched the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Breaking Slash and suddenly had an epiphany: such an opportunity was rare and hard to come by. He was eager to watch it again.

I'm sorry.

His face was full of apology when he saw "Ruan Xinrou" who had been forced to interrupt the challenge.

"I'd love to see you use the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Piercing Slash again. Could you demonstrate it for us all?"

Bai Ying readily agreed. She drew her sword and used the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Breaking Slash once again, just as before.

This time it's even more intuitive than before.

The immense power unleashed after cleaving through the void shocked everyone.

It was terrifying. The power seemed to come from another world, as if there was a more powerful world out there, trying to drag everyone into it.

The Grand Elder felt this familiar sensation, just like when the Spirit Rhinoceros Ancestor was still alive, and he was extremely excited.

"Kid, you're amazing. How did you figure out that final move?"

The elder's words made everyone prick up their ears, wishing they could use this move themselves.

Bai Ying thought for a moment and said:

“Once, when I was practicing my sword against the night sky and looking at the starry sky, I suddenly had an epiphany.”

The elder nodded helplessly. These words were too simplistic, practically meaningless. But enlightenment is indeed a mysterious thing, difficult to describe in words.

Even so, many cultivators present planned to learn from Bai Ying and practice their swordsmanship against the night sky.

Bai Ying made it sound easy, but how could such a deadly move be so easily comprehended?

She glanced at Yan Chiling, who was standing not far away, and clenched her fingers tightly.

This move was actually something he forced me to do in my past life.

At that time, after Yan Chiling dug out her golden core, she hid everywhere, afraid of being captured by him again and becoming Ruan Xinrou's scapegoat.

She stumbled into the Golden-Winged Roc's nest while trying to escape. The Golden-Winged Roc was already at the Nascent Soul stage, far beyond her capabilities.

In a hopeless situation, she was pierced through the shoulder by the Golden-Winged Roc, her flesh mercilessly torn apart. Outside the nest, the Blazing Feather was still chasing after her.

Pain, accompanied by fear, seeped deep into her bones. She wept in agony, unable to understand why the person who had promised to protect her for life would hurt her like this.

When faced with death, she actually broke through and comprehended this move, killing the Golden-Winged Roc.

God knows how long she cried alone after killing the Golden-Winged Roc.

Ironically, it was Yan Chiling who taught him this sword technique back then!

In her past life, Bai Ying would cry and feel pain.

But in this life, she will no longer experience any pain.

Yan Chiling felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Bai Ying use the Lingxiao Sword Technique.

He didn't know how long he had practiced with Bai Ying in order to teach her well.

After the Grand Elder bestowed his gifts upon Bai Ying, he couldn't wait to go into seclusion to comprehend her teachings.

Yan Chiling walked to Bai Ying's side and said in a deep voice:

"That was a very clever move of yours."

After he finished speaking, even he himself felt that what he said was inexplicable.

How could he say such a thing to the person he hates the most?

Bai Ying sneered inwardly. Pretty, isn't she? She'll use this trick on this bastard sooner or later!

—

Bai Ying's challenge was temporarily interrupted and will not be able to resume until tomorrow.

Yan Chiling brought Bai Ying to Ruan Xinrou's residence and ordered her to stand outside.

When he opened Ruan Xinrou's door, she couldn't wait to ask him, "Senior brother, what about the rewards Bai Ying received?"

Ruan Xinrou had been eyeing those rewards for a long time, and as soon as she saw Yan Chiling, she immediately asked him for them.

Yan Chiling was clearly taken aback, not expecting Ruan Xinrou to react this way.

"The reward is still with Bai Ying."

"Then go and get it quickly, senior brother. Wasn't that a reward for me? Hurry up and bring it over."

Yan Chiling frowned slightly.

What she was really thinking was that if she hadn't interfered, those rewards should have been Bai Ying's.

"Fourth Senior Brother?"

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Ruan Xinrou looked at him with confusion.

Although Yan Chiling felt it was inappropriate, he still called Bai Ying over and said, "Give everything you got today to your junior sister."

Ruan Xinrou happily accepted them, then spread them out in front of her and examined each item in her hands.

As she watched, she said to Yan Chiling, "Senior brother, Bai Ying's performance is too dazzling. Could you please tell her to stop using moves I don't know like today? It's really annoying me. I can't keep having her appear in my place every time, can I?"

Moreover, she's only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. It's incredibly difficult for me to reach that stage in such a short time. It's all Bai Ying's fault; if only she were also at the Qi Refining stage.

How can there be such an annoying person!

As she spoke, Ruan Xinrou pouted, looking somewhat disgruntled.

Normally, whenever she acted like this, Yan Chiling would feel extremely distressed and would join her in verbally abusing Bai Ying.

But now he feels nothing at all.

Yan Chiling frowned slightly as she looked at the person in front of her, not expecting that she would feel such a rare reluctance to agree with her.

Having witnessed Bai Ying's stunning beauty, and then seeing Ruan Xinrou's disdain for Bai Ying's high cultivation level, he felt a slight, almost imperceptible, annoyance.

But Yan Chiling still said, "Okay, I'll tell her to keep a low profile. Don't stand out so much anymore."

Ruan Xinrou happily walked up to Yan Chiling and threw herself into his arms.

"Fourth Senior Brother is the best. With you here, Rou'er is the happiest."

Yan Chiling's eyes were noticeably evasive.

He didn't know what was wrong with him; he had become very strange.

How could he not want Bai Ying to see Ruan Xinrou throwing herself into his arms?

Even though he already knew that Bai Ying was under his control, trapped in an illusion, and unable to see anything...

But Yan Chiling didn't know that Bai Ying wasn't controlled by the illusion at all; she could see everything clearly.

Her face remained expressionless, but she sneered inwardly.

Cheer up, cheer up even more!

As for keeping a low profile?

That's impossible.

If I don't hold you high, how will you feel the pain when you fall?
