Dongfang Jue also brought up the system and took a closer look. Sure enough, she was so beautiful and so big... truly extraordinary.

Su Muchan, listening to Dongfang Jue's tone, was somewhat puzzled: "What does Miss Dongfang mean?"

Dongfang Jue wasn't afraid of Su Muchan, so he simply smiled and spoke frankly.

"Based on my understanding of Ye Qinghan, it's not surprising that you're no match for her. But you're saying she suddenly attacked you and even poisoned you? Are you sure you haven't mistaken her for someone else?"

Su Muchan shook her head. Ye Qinghan really couldn't be more real!

Seeing Su Muchan's expression, Dongfang Jue became curious as well. What could be the reason?

How could Ye Qinghan launch a surprise attack? It's not hard to see how much Ye Qinghan wanted her dead!

But if that's the case, why didn't Ye Qinghan kill her? Instead, he used poison, a rather clumsy method.

Ye Qinghan did not ask Su Muchan to do anything for her, and there was no conflict of interest involved. The two were meeting for the first time, and judging from Su Muchan's demeanor, she probably did not know the reason behind it and had no intention of taking advantage of her.

She has to come to pick up her medicine every two weeks. Is this considered control or surveillance?

"You said Ye Qinghan originally intended to kill you, but was stopped by someone?"

Su Muchan nodded: "That's what I think. She showed no sign of restraining her killing intent, but in the end she didn't make a move. She said that my daughter had a powerful background, and then she poisoned me."

Dongfang Jue nodded: "Do you think anyone in this world can stop her?"

The only explanation that could be attributed to the destiny mentioned by Su Cheng was that this witch might be involved in something significant, which is why Su Cheng intervened to maintain the balance.

This was the only answer Dongfang Jue could think of.

Su Muchan's expression also changed slightly. She thought to herself, "Does she also think it's Su Cheng? But Su Cheng clearly hates me!"

There's absolutely no reason to do something like this.

Dongfang Jue said seriously, "Judging from your expression, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

"You mean Sect Leader Su?"

"Besides him, perhaps only heaven could save you from Ye Qinghan's clutches." Dongfang Jue smiled helplessly. To be honest, she felt that with Ye Qinghan's strength, he could absolutely crush most of the elders and even rival the leaders of many sects.

How easy is it to rescue someone from Ye Qinghan's clutches?

Not to mention asking her to give you face, who would she give face to?

Su Muchan pondered for a long time and then stopped thinking about it. There was no point in thinking about such things now.

Finding Ye Qinghan and getting the antidote is the most important thing. Even if Su Cheng is a living saint, she has no interest in him right now.

Meanwhile, in the inn, Su Cheng helped up his two personal disciples. After Ye Qinghan set up an isolation barrier, he slowly spoke.

"Master, did Shiyao... do something wrong?"

Su Cheng glanced at Ye Qinghan's expression; she seemed equally curious about the answer to this question.

Why do you say that?

Su Cheng didn't rush to explain; he wanted to hear his two disciples' opinions.

But Li Shiyao stammered and couldn't explain herself clearly even after talking for a long time.

Ye Qinghan, who is usually good at translating, remained silent at this moment, eavesdropping on her thoughts and also trying to hear what her junior sister was thinking.

In this way, I can say things that Master likes to hear, and I won't affect Master's judgment.

"Shiyao just wanted to win the competition, and she did win, but... she can't be happy."

"Was it because you injured the other person?"

Li Shiyao seemed somewhat dejected, nodding as if she had lost her life despite winning the martial arts competition.

"Master, Shiyao never intended to hurt anyone, but..."

Li Shiyao didn't know how to express her feelings; she didn't want to be seen as weak by her master and senior sister.

"But even though Shiyao was clearly in the secret realm..."

Su Cheng smiled and patted her little head, feeling that Li Shiyao was a little angel.

"I am passing on my skills and magical treasures to you so that you can protect yourselves, and I certainly do not intend for you to bully the weak and become local tyrants."

"What happened today is my fault for not giving you careful instructions. Shiyao, don't blame yourself too much. I have already taken care of it for you."

Li Shiyao nodded, now understanding why her master forbade her to use the Chaos Bell and her sword. If she had used the Chaos Bell, the person would have been dead.

"Master, can Shiyao not participate in the martial arts competition? Shiyao doesn't want to hurt anyone anymore."

[He really is just a little kid.]

"Shiyao, can you listen to what your teacher has to say first?"

Su Cheng believed his expression at that moment was very amiable, as he always did.

"Does Shiyao know why I never told you to go easy on her?"

Li Shiyao shook her head as expected, and Ye Qinghan was also somewhat surprised. To be honest, she didn't know either.

"Firstly, I am not omniscient and omnipotent. I am selfish and protective of my own. I would rather Shiyao hurt others than have Shiyao get hurt."

"Secondly, even if I could impart to you supreme supernatural powers, I could not decide for you two what kind of people you would become."

"I do not want you to be soft-hearted towards the enemy because of my admonitions, nor do I want you to become bloodthirsty villains."

"However, Shiyao, the power itself is not wrong; the only problem is the way it is used."

"If you were facing those in the secret realm who tried to harm you, wouldn't you feel less guilty?"

Li Shiyao rarely gets to hear Su Cheng's long speeches, but at this moment she truly understood them.

He slowly rose to his feet and, under the somewhat surprised gazes of Ye Qinghan and Su Cheng, knelt solemnly before his master.
