Ayan did not tell Wan Ge that he had tampered with her elder brother, senior brother, and master.

It would remind them of Wan Ge's goodness and stir up their guilt towards her. But even if they went to such lengths, their guilt would be pitifully small.

This shows that those people felt no remorse towards her whatsoever; they were all extremely cold-blooded, only caring about their own immortality. So the legendary, compassionate immortals are nothing more than this.

They maliciously hurt people who were so good to them, yet felt no remorse whatsoever, or at least a tiny bit.

Ayan didn't tell Wan Ge that he had seen her dreams when she was plagued by nightmares, so he knew what had happened to her.

Seeing her bravely venture into danger alone for her brother, just to obtain the magical herb that could save his life.

Seeing that he took the blame for his senior brother's mistake and claimed it was his own, he was once criticized by the immortals.

Seeing her pray to Heaven time and time again for her master, hoping that he could safely overcome his tribulation.

Ayan couldn't understand why Wan Ge was so indifferent to her when she was so capable of doing so much for them.

He was overjoyed by anything Wan Ge did for them, even the slightest bit.

However, Ayan did not want Wan Ge to do these things for him. He did not want his beloved to suffer any grievances or hardships. He was happy as long as she was well, safe and happy.

Ayan took a deep breath, not knowing how much longer she could endure it. She really wanted to kill them all.

…

Yunling, who was being held captive, had no idea how things had turned out this way. It was clearly Wan Ge who had told her that, so why were they all saying the same thing?

She absolutely cannot be punished, she absolutely cannot die. She had worked so hard to become their favorite, she had sacrificed so much, she was unwilling to accept it, she was truly unwilling to accept it.

Just as he was thinking this, Gu Ming suddenly appeared in front of her.

Yunling, whose legs and hands were bound by chains, immediately stood up: "Master, you've come. I really didn't mean to. Master, please believe me."

Gu Ming smiled faintly, his blood-red eyes looking at her: "Of course I know you didn't do it on purpose."

Yunling took a step back: "No, you are not, you are not Master."

"What are you saying, Ling'er? I am your master. As long as you help me become Gu Ming completely, you will still be my most beloved disciple."

"You are not my master, I will not help you."

The other party revealed a mocking smile: "Is that so? But if you don't help me, I'll fight Gu Ming to the death. If he dies, you won't survive either, do you believe me?"

Yunling shivered; she believed it, she knew it.

So without even hesitating, she immediately stood up and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

Gu Ming took out a bottle: "There are two pills inside. Give one to each of your two senior brothers."

"But I can't get out at all."

Gu Ming spoke again: "Don't worry, someone will release you soon. Besides that, I need you to do one more thing."

"what else?"

"You know the Demon-Subduing Sword, right? Destroy it." As Gu Ming spoke, he handed her another sword, for only this sword could destroy the Demon-Subduing Sword.

“Okay.” Yunling agreed without even thinking.

Nothing could be more important than her life, not even her once kindest master.
