49 Chapter 49

◎Ye Xiuluo is here◎

I've realized his heart has truly changed after spending these past few days with him.

After several encounters, he has become immune to all poisons and will no longer show any mercy.

Pei Xueyan was never the type to pester someone repeatedly.

Except for her amnesia.

She chased after him and liked him again and again.

This must be the fifth time I've run into a wall, right?

He always acted so nonchalantly, and when he was constantly pursuing me, I couldn't remember anything and didn't truly experience anything.

That's it, Pei Xueyan gave up.

She didn't want to like him at all.

You filthy man, go to hell!

She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and suddenly turned around, shouting at Jiang Qiye's back, "Jiang Qiye, if I say another word to you, I'm a dog! A big yellow dog!"

Pei Xueyan had broken up with him completely from the bottom of her heart.

This time, I truly want to break up with him completely, without looking back, and without having any more wild thoughts.

This decision was made just three days ago.

She was disguised as a man at the foot of the mountain, exchanging magical techniques with several high-level immortals, their moves creating quite a spectacle.

Suddenly, two dark figures flashed overhead like lightning, followed by an angry shout: "Ye Xiuluo, don't try to escape!"

That was the voice of the immortal Wang Yu!

She was shocked. Her master, Ye Xiuluo, who had been missing for so long, had actually come?

Before she could react, she heard her master's signature, melodious laughter again: "Wang Yu! You dare to bully my disciple? I'll wipe out your Qing Sect!"

Two figures sped off toward the direction of the Green Sect.

Pei Xueyan broke out in a cold sweat instantly. She no longer cared about sparring and immediately stopped her magic and chased after the Qing Sect.

Master Wangyu, possessing boundless magical power, had long sensed someone behind him. With a swift turn, he enveloped her with his spiritual energy, his laughter growing increasingly smug.

"Ye Xiuluo, let's see if you have the ability to save your precious disciple!"

In the blink of an eye, the three arrived at the Qingzong Sect.

Pei Xueyan felt a blur before her eyes, and the next second she was violently thrown into that familiar secret room.

It turns out that after Pei Xueyan was locked in the secret room last time, she spread rumors to lure Ye Xiuluo to come and rescue his disciple. He didn't expect to find out about it only now.

However, Master Wangyu clearly promised to let her go before, so why is he going back on his word now?

Pei Xueyan was so angry that her teeth itched. She immediately used her spiritual power to spread her voice throughout most of the Qing Sect.

"Old Taoist! You are still the master and grandmaster of the Qingzong Sect, yet you have gone back on your word and broken your promise. If your ancestor knew that you were so morally depraved and untrustworthy, he would probably crawl out of his grave in anger!"

"What kind of prestigious sect is this? It's nothing but a filthy place that bullies people and humiliates women! They do such despicable things every day, how dare they call themselves a 'sect'?"

"If you don't open the door, I'll blow up this dilapidated secret chamber today and let the whole world see the true face of the Qing Sect!"

......

While Ye Xiuluo was locked in combat with Master Wangyu in the air, he took a moment to laugh out loud when he heard Pei Xueyan's curses: "Good disciple, well said! Well said! Let me curse a few more times to vent my anger!"

Her palm strikes met Wang Yu's, causing the surrounding ancient trees to rustle.

Seeing that her master's inner strength was profound and her cultivation was intact, Pei Xueyan immediately raised her voice to complain: "Master, Master, my cultivation was forcibly destroyed by the people of the Qing Sect. Your disciple is unfilial and failed to protect the skills you gave me. I can only deceive their disciple's cultivation to take revenge!"

These words seemed to add fuel to Ye Xiuluo's fire, and her attack suddenly intensified, black energy swirling around her fingertips: "Wang Yu! How dare you use that underhanded trick of stealing cultivation again! Prepare to die!"

Pei Xueyan knew that she couldn't help her master fight back directly at this moment, but her hard work and study over the past few days had finally paid off.

He sat down, closed his eyes, and circulated his inner energy, quickly breaking the barrier of the secret room.

He flashed out and flew to the sky above the Qingzong Sect. Upon closer inspection, he found that the place was in complete disarray.

Master is really amazing!

She is the real female demon, turning the Qing Sect upside down!

Logically, the Qing Sect has a protective barrier, and all disciples should resist any outsiders who break in. However, Master Wang Yu forbids his disciples from participating and insists on fighting her to the death.

Seeing that his master's level of skill was no higher than that of Master Wangyu.

Pei Xueyan realized that her master's strength was not superior, so she immediately flicked out her spirit feather and sent it to Jiang Qiye's room to find the next scroll of cultivation techniques.

I want to go and help out myself.

This was the first time she had stepped into Jiang Qiye's room.

The Qingzong Sect was indeed extraordinary; its courtyards were not only spacious, but the paths were also winding and circuitous.

If it weren't for Lingyu leading the way, she would probably still be wandering around in circles, unable to find this place.

After passing through the pavilion on the cliff, and walking to the waterfall cascading from the sky, we finally arrived at Jiang Qiye's residence at the foot of the mountain.

This place is truly a blessed land, with even the air seemingly filled with a faint ethereal aura.

The room was extremely tidy, and the decorations were all in simple and elegant colors, giving it a refreshing feel.

Upon entering, one can see a spacious hall, the layout of which is quite similar to the main hall in Yuan Huashan's courtyard.

This man is quite cunning.

There was another long rope at the entrance, with a creature that resembled a dog but also had eagle-like features on it. It was a peculiar and rare spirit beast.

As Pei Xueyan approached, the spirit beast immediately began barking incessantly.

Pei Xueyan had no choice but to raise her hand and cast a spell, instantly silencing the spirit beast, which then thrashed and struggled in vain in the air.

After dealing with the spirit beast, she began searching everywhere for cultivation techniques.

Logically speaking, the cultivation manual is an extremely important item for cultivators, and something they have looked at frequently since childhood, so it should be placed in the most conspicuous place.

He's a cripple now, so he definitely won't take him with him.

It wasn't on the desk, nor on the bedside table.

They even searched the bookshelves carefully, but still couldn't find the cultivation manual.

Where else could it be?

"Could it be hidden somewhere else?" Pei Xueyan was pacing back and forth in thought when her gaze suddenly fell on the wardrobe.

While searching back and forth, I saw a large box deep inside the wardrobe.

She hurried over, and the moment she lifted the lid of the box, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!!"

Anyone who saw what was inside the box would scream.

The box was filled with magical artifacts of all sizes, as well as gold and silver, and many small magical artifacts that could only be found in the Immortal Market, radiating a peculiar spiritual power.

For example, the hairpin that can bring back the life of withered branches in a vase and make flowers bloom instantly.

There is also a translucent jade that reflects one's life scene from several months ago. In addition, there are some jade slips scattered in the box that record interesting little spells.

This is so much fun! It's so much fun!

Her eyes were gleaming; she really wanted to steal them all.

There's definitely no cultivation technique inside, so... let's try to trick Jiang Qiye again and steal this whole box of treasures.

While she was still lost in thought, a loud bang suddenly echoed in the sky, and she quickly went outside.

Looking up, one could see Master Wangyu unleashing a "heaven-destroying and earth-shattering" spell, accompanied by a sudden burst of thunder.

Who are you trying to scare with this flashy but impractical magic?

She was looking up at the sky when Jiang Qiye rushed over.

He was slightly startled to see Pei Xueyan there, but quickly became wary. Without even saying hello, he walked straight toward the main hall, seemingly to retrieve a magical artifact to support Master Wangyu.

Pei Xueyan immediately intervened, saying, "Jiang Qiye, the elders are fighting. Do you want to help?"

Jiang Qiye held a metal umbrella in his hand, his tone icy: "Master has been tolerant at every turn, but Ye Xiuluo has resorted to underhanded tactics. Master may be in danger and needs to use this Great Luo Umbrella to protect him."

Pei Xueyan naturally knew the power of this magical artifact.

However, she is still unaware of how much cultivation her master has left. If her master can truly fight the opponent to a standstill, he must still possess some skill.

She certainly didn't want Jiang Qiye to cause trouble, so she immediately blocked his way and asked, "Didn't you lose your cultivation? How come you're back from over a hundred miles away so quickly?"

“I have thoroughly studied the scriptures and mastered the art of flying in just three days. What is this little distance?”

He's so arrogant!

Pei Xueyan chuckled, "Since you're so powerful, why don't you have a match with me? If you can beat me, then it won't be too late for you to go find your master."

Seeing that he still looked nervous, Pei Xueyan quickly changed the subject: "Brother, is this your room? This is my first time here."

"Don't call me brother."

Pei Xueyan immediately leaned forward, her tone teasing: "Then what should I call you? I can't just call you husband, can I? That would be too embarrassing, we haven't consummated our marriage yet."

"..." He glanced at her. "What are you doing here?"

"You came all this way just to see you? I even lay on your bed for a while to rest my feet."

Jiang Qiye clearly didn't believe him: "Don't talk nonsense."

After saying that, he was about to walk past Pei Xueyan to get the Great Luo Vajra Umbrella and go out.

Pei Xueyan continued to block his way: "Your master said that no disciple is allowed to interfere. What, do you want your master to bear the infamy? A woman has to call for reinforcements, aren't you ashamed!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiye's heart stirred slightly. He knew that his master's magical power was unfathomable. He had observed earlier that his master had not used his full strength to kill Ye Xiuluo. He was just worried that his master was too soft-hearted and might fall victim to Ye Xiuluo's demonic poison again.

Seeing that his expression softened, Pei Xueyan immediately moved closer, her eyes sparkling with a captivating charm, and her tone softened: "Brother Daoist, I saw the gold and silver magical artifacts in your box just now. Wow, you have so many treasures! You said before that I could use these things, do you still stand by your word?"

He almost laughed. How could someone be so fickle? What promises did they make to their master in person? How could they have forgotten them?

Jiang Qiye patiently reminded him, "You said you used me, deceived me, never had feelings for me, and toyed with my emotions. If that's the case, what do you need these things for now?"

"Don't make baseless accusations. How can you spread rumors? I never said that."

That's what I mean.

"No, you misunderstood." She denied it outright. "But your master said he wouldn't put me in solitary confinement, then turned around and locked me up to threaten him. How dishonest of him!"

Every encounter between Jiang Qiye and her was always vague and unresolved.

These days, he has suffered greatly and thought about many things.

He knew very well that this woman was born free-spirited and unrestrained.

She cherishes the vast world, loves to run down the mountain, and loves the simple pleasures of life. She is not one to be bound by constraints.

He, however, was completely absorbed in the mystical path of cultivation on the mountain; their paths were fundamentally diametrically opposed.

Neither she nor her heart would stay for him for even a moment.

This tug-of-war will only lead to mutual torment, with no end in sight.

Moreover, his heart was already riddled with holes, and he simply didn't have the confidence to believe that he could have a complete woman who loved him wholeheartedly.

Since it's not possible, it's better to let go sooner rather than later.

"Since both elders are here, let them decide today to cancel our engagement and destroy the marriage certificate. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xueyan's face immediately darkened, and she gave a light snort: "What if I don't want to?"
