Jiang Wenjing's long sword slashed down at the spot where Yun Lian had just been standing.

He approached and saw that the trampled marks on the grass were enough to prove that someone had indeed been there.

Jiang Wenjing frowned, his narrow eyes fixed on the crease.

A faint fragrance wafted through the air.

The taste is extremely faint; you can't smell it unless you sniff carefully.

"No matter who you are, please stop following me. I am not as merciful as you think. Swords have no eyes, so please have some self-respect."

Yun Lian stood behind the roof beam, watching Jiang Wenjing's sharp and aggressive demeanor.

Jiang Wenjing is currently cultivating diligently, and her sudden appearance might actually affect his Dao heart.

Yun Lian suddenly thought of Tang Ling'er. She hadn't visited the female lead in a long time and wondered how she was doing.

She'll be unhappy if things go too well for her.

Not long after Yun Lian left, Jiang Wenjing followed the scent to the roof beam.

Pick up a stray hair from the ground.

He held a strand of hair in his hand, examining it closely, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. He called out to the sky, "Master, has it been you who came to see your disciple?"

Jiang Wenjing practically turned his Lianyin Pavilion upside down.

He found a somewhat ugly hairpin under the pear tree at the entrance. Snow-white pear blossom petals covered the hairpin, just like the pear blossom that he had painstakingly carved for a long time but was still ugly had come to life.

Jiang Wenjing placed the hairpin inside his robe, near his heart, as if his long-empty heart had finally been filled to the brim.

It turned out that his master had been accompanying him all along, even in a place he couldn't see.

He was never alone.

"Master, your disciple will certainly live up to your expectations and will definitely become a top expert."

*

Moon Shadow Sect.

Tang Ling'er was pressed onto the white jade table, her little face filled with terror.

"Senior brother, I'm your junior sister..."

Shang Lu grabbed her fair ankle, leaving a handprint on her delicate skin in an instant.

"Junior Sister, how should I punish you to make you behave? It's not enough that you've seduced me, you're even going after Junior Brother."

Tang Ling'er's face was flushed.

She just made a mistake that every man in the world would make.

But she only dared to keep it to herself.

Faced with her senior brother, who seemed to have been enraged, she shrank back in fear.

"I didn't seduce my junior brother, he was the one who drugged me..."

She didn't know why, after taking the pills her master gave her, she became unlike herself.

She was always completely unguarded around her master.

Her master treated her very well, even expelling his own daughter from the sect. She always believed that she was special in her master's heart.

But to her utter surprise, after consuming the "beauty pill" given to her by her master, she found herself attracting the attention of many men without even realizing it.

Unexpectedly, she discovered that she no longer needed to cultivate diligently as before, and she also had to worry about the red-clad ghost appearing and stealing the opportunity that belonged to her.

If she reveals that she is a top-tier cultivation vessel, cultivating with her will be twice as effective.

Whether true or false, all sorts of outstanding men flock to her.

And she successfully formed her core.

But the biggest variable was Senior Brother Shang Lu.

Shang Lu grabbed her by the neck and roughly unbuttoned her clothes with his other hand.

The coldness of the white jade table sent a chill down her spine, and she could only helplessly hug Shang Lu to absorb his warmth.

"Senior brother, I was wrong..."

Shang Lu deliberately turned his head away from the red lips that were offered to him, thus thwarting her attempts to please him.

"Junior Sister, do you think I can still trust you?"

You said you loved me the most and only wanted to be my cultivation partner, which is why I agreed to give up the Path of Ruthlessness.

But how can you be so heartless? How many words from your mouth are truly believable?

Tang Ling'er gradually lost patience; if the other party didn't cooperate, the cultivation she absorbed wouldn't be pure.

The fear on her face faded, and she gave Shang Lu a captivating smile without any attempt to hide it.

She slipped her hand inside his shirt.

The moment their skin touched, Yun Lian clapped her hands mischievously outside the window.

"I never imagined that the prestigious Moon Shadow Sect would be so cunning in private."

The sudden sound startled the two of them.

Shang Lu tore off his own robe and covered Tang Ling'er, who was completely naked.

His gaze swept towards Yun Lian with the sharpness of an eagle.

"Sir, we haven't offended you, have we?"

Yun Lian was playing with the red whip in her hand.

"Who knows? But if you offer me some hush money, I might be willing to avoid it."

Shang Lu gritted his teeth, looking at Tang Ling'er who was huddled in his arms with only her eyes showing. His fists were bulging with veins, giving the impression that he might attack Yun Lian at any moment.

In fact, he was indeed attacking Yun Lian.

However, his Azure Cloud Sword couldn't even touch the hem of Yun Lian's clothes; it could only stop about 10 inches in front of Yun Lian, unable to go any further.

Tang Ling'er trembled all over, her eyes filled with a tangible hatred.

It's this woman again!

Every time he shows up, he ruins her plans.

How much hush money do you want?

Yun Lian loved seeing the female lead's frustrated and helpless expression, and she smiled as she held up one finger.

"Not much, not much, a thousand top-grade items will suffice."

Tang Ling'er, who hadn't been out to gain experience for a long time, widened her eyes upon hearing this.

In the past, she wouldn't have cared about a mere thousand high-grade spirit stones.

For nearly two years, whenever she had something good, it would be snatched away by this woman in red before she could even enjoy it, showing that she also had a greedy nature.

"How much? Why don't you just rob it?"

Yun Lian smiled shyly.

"Isn't this a robbery? Hehe."

"Only 500, take it or leave it? We'll just ignore you."

Yun Lian remained silent, staring intently at Shang Lu as if trying to find a flower in him.

"The chief disciple of the Moon Shadow Sect shouldn't be the kind of good-for-nothing who only knows how to spend women's money, right?"

Shang Lu always felt that she was being maliciously targeted at him.

Unfortunately, every time they resisted, this woman would beat them up and plunder their belongings.

If we don't give her spirit stones now, she'll only get more after we get beaten up.

Shang Lu tossed a storage bag to Yun Lian from his storage ring.

There were exactly 1000 high-grade spirit stones inside.

Yun Lian instantly burst into laughter, her eyes crinkling at the corners of her mouth.

He even smiled and sprinkled some white powder on the two of them.

"I won't take the spirit stones for nothing; I'll give you something to liven things up."

Before she finished speaking, Yun Lian's figure had already vanished.

As quietly as she arrived.

The two people inside the room had bloodshot eyes, their bodies intertwined like two snakes.

Yun Lian wandered around the Moon Shadow Sect like a lost soul.

Looking at the towering and majestic residence of the sect leader, a wicked glint flashed in his eyes.

"Since we're already here, it wouldn't be right not to pay a visit to our ruthless father."

Yun Lian strode into the sect leader's hall with cheerful steps, as if she were in an empty place.

As soon as she entered, Yun Lian witnessed that disgusting scene.

His room was filled with photographic stones, all of which contained images of Tang Ling'er in various poses.

Young Tang Ling'er playfully splashed in the water, her toes bobbing little by little.

A little older than Tang Ling'er, this was the first time she drank alcohol; she squatted under a tree like a mushroom.

Tang Ling'er was constantly fed medicine by him, and gradually she became a charming young woman...
