"Stop trying to kill yourself. You've seen it, it's all over."

Seeing Ye Qinghan nod, Xiao Ai removed the collar from Ye Qinghan's neck that suppressed his magical power and cultivation.

"I still feel like it's all a bit unreal..."

Before Ye Qinghan could finish speaking, Amber walked forward carrying a mahogany tray.

The tray contained the things Xiao Ai had taken back then: the Ling Shuang Sword, the jade pendant, the Desire-Severing Bracelet, the sword box, and the Life-Saving Elixir.

Ye Qinghan stomped her foot, and a flowing, glass-like dress appeared on her body, instantly transforming the black fox into a white fox.

He hung the Frost-Slaying Sword at his waist, wore the Desire-Severing Bracelet on his wrist, then pulled at his collar, stuffing the jade pendant into his bosom, followed by the sword case, and then the life-saving elixir...

"Nothing is unreal. Let's go. Xiao Ai has something she wants to tell you."

"Xiao Ai, I'm a little..."

"Does Xiao Ai have to call you a slut every time to make you feel good?"

"Uh...no, not really..."

Inside the Hall of Martial Saints, in the reception room.

This is a private room that resembles a tea room, with only freshly brewed tea that Amber has just brought on the red wooden table.

"Xiao Ai, what do you mean by saying this is a test?"

Xiao Ai waved her hand, signaling Amber to leave, and only spoke after Amber closed the door.

Have you ever heard of the power of fate?

Ye Qinghan frowned slightly, still not having a clear understanding of the current situation.

Compared to when he was in prison, Ye Qinghan was like a completely different person. When he was in the dungeon, it was as if he was just a line drawing, and the beautiful white fox had become dirty and black.

Although Ye Qinghan looked no different from usual at this moment, his body had not actually fully recovered.

Even if he recovers, he won't be a match for Xiao Ai.

"Xiao Ai, I hope you can explain the test clearly first. Otherwise, Qing Han isn't so keen to hear anything else. After all, who knows if it's real or not?"

Xiao Ai was amused and laughed so hard she almost fell over. Xiao Ai was always smiling, but this was the first time Ye Qinghan had ever seen her laugh so loudly.

"It seems that it won't be easy to get you to believe in Xiao Ai."

"Yes."

"Don't rush, let Xiao Ai tell you slowly, okay?"

Ye Qinghan was helpless, but there was nothing else he could do but sit down and listen to Xiao Ai.

After all, she couldn't beat Xiao Ai.

"Just like what you said to Chu Youwei in the Spirit Pool Palace that day, you said that Xiao Ai and you are the Lord's people."

"Perhaps in your eyes, becoming the Lord means sleeping with the Lord."

"However, if you want Xiao Ai to acknowledge you, you have to go through the same tempering as Xiao Ai."

"You must prove that your love will not waver even in despair, nor will it be extinguished in pain."

“My Lord is not an ordinary person. He cannot make a private vow with you like an ordinary person. My Lord bears the future of countless worlds on his shoulders. Just like the word ‘My Lord,’ only Xiao Ai has ever been able to call him that.”

"These two words mean unconditional trust. Even if the whole world is against the Lord, Xiao Ai will firmly choose him."

Even though he was the target of everyone's criticism and a traitor in everyone's eyes, and even though he never gave Xiao Ai any explanation, Xiao Ai still believed in him.

When Ye Qinghan heard the word "quenching," he already understood the gist of it.

"So all of this was arranged by you and Master, and Master doesn't trust Qinghan either, right?"

"It was all a lie, ever since that night when I was shown that document."

Xiao Ai nodded calmly.

"That's right, the documents are fake, the transfer order is fake, and there's no child at all. Everything is designed to make you truly despair. It's not easy to do that. You have no idea how much effort Xiao Ai put in."

Ye Qinghan was speechless and didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Ai, to be honest, I now wish all of this were true."

Even when tea was offered to his lips, he couldn't bring himself to drink it.

Honestly, it's really disgusting!

"Xiao Ai, can I beat you up?"

Xiao Ai remained calm; she understood Ye Qinghan's feelings at that moment.

“If you are willing to forgive the Lord, I promise you that I will not fight back until you leave this room, and no one will know.”

Snap!

The crisp sound echoed throughout the entire Holy Martial Hall, and Ye Qinghan didn't even hesitate.

Forget about slapping her, she wished she could devour Xiao Ai alive!

A full month of interrogation, both physical and spiritual torture, plus psychological pressure, just as Ye Qinghan had imagined.

She didn't think anyone else besides her could endure such torment!

Although it was Xiao Ai who got beaten, it was Ye Qinghan who cried. Xiao Ai remained sitting there, calm and composed.

"Xiao Ai, stop talking nonsense! Master will definitely believe Qing Han!"

“You’re right. It was Xiao Ai who persuaded you to do this, Lord. Without going through a tempering process, Xiao Ai cannot accept fighting alongside you.”

"When has Qinghan ever needed your trust? Xiao Ai, hasn't anyone told you that you're too arrogant?"

“Xiao Ai has always been like this. Xiao Ai said that if Qing Han is feeling unbalanced, she can vent on Xiao Ai.”

Ye Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief; Xiao Ai's calmness, on the contrary, made her...

That slap was enough; this was the King of Godslayers.

Rubbing his still throbbing hand, Ye Qinghan calmed down: "Xiao Ai, what did the master say?"

"Just as you think, the Lord trusts you, but I think you can understand that before you, I never believed that anyone could withstand such torture as Xiao Ai."
