"Rest assured, Grandmaster, I will do my best to prevent that young demon lord from turning evil, guide him onto the right path, and prioritize his rehabilitation."
"Very well. Then I'll leave this matter to you."
...
Upon hearing the voice of the Venerable Penglai, Song Xiwei managed to calm herself down.
Bitterness and chill enveloped her. She had always believed that she was sent by her master to save and reform Aoqian.
Until I unintentionally recalled that memory, the truth was quite the opposite.
Especially when he heard Venerable Penglai admit in person: "Your grandmaster was indeed involved, and the Demon Lord was killed by his own hand for his clone."
“His clone…” Song Xiwei had been suspicious ever since she saw the gap where the white beard was removed, revealing the true face of the real person.
Upon closer inspection, Ze Lin and his master's appearances were remarkably similar.
Although Ze Lin may have used some kind of secret technique to fade her appearance, making it impossible for her to be associated with her master's appearance.
But she was still certain that Ze Lin was indeed the clone of her master, Kong Jie.
The Venerable Penglai himself declared that someone as incompetent as Ze Lin could not possibly slay a Demon Lord. Without the power of his grandmaster, how could he possibly have done it…
It was a miracle that Ze Lin survived when I crippled him back then.
What kind of miracle allowed him to not only avoid becoming a cripple, but also to take over the demon race so smoothly?
The master's plan was so meticulous; he was truly a master, incredibly so.
She always believed that she was raised by her master, highly valued by him, and the person he trusted most.
She regarded her master as family, but her master did this behind her back!
Ultimately, people with different values cannot work together.
The grandmaster made the choice he had made, and as for himself...
Although he was kept in the dark by his master, they had long since become strangers.
"Then, my grandmaster, did he know that Wanwan was Aoqian's mother? How could he allow you to spare Wanwan's life?" This time, he used me to kill someone else. The strange power hidden in that tree was indeed meant to kill Wanwan.
The Grandmaster's desire to kill Wanwan never ceased.
If Venerable Penglai hadn't kept denying him opportunities, how could Wanwan have survived to this day?
Even a wisp of a soul cannot be spared. Was Grandmaster's compassion all an act?
"In order to prevent your grandmaster from reporting me to the Heavenly Court, I reinforced multiple seals on Wanwan, so that Wanwan would never remember her background. She just wanted to live a carefree life as an ordinary person, without any connection with the demons or anything from before, and simply live a simple life. But I know that your grandmaster has never given up. He has never given up the idea of killing Wanwan."
"Then why did you take Wanwan to the Void Gate to give him an opportunity?" Song Xi looked at Venerable Penglai with confusion until she realized, "Venerable Venerable risked showing yourself at the Void Gate because of me?"
Venerable Penglai nodded, "That's right. If I don't help you, girl, your power won't be restored so easily. How will you and Aoqian continue on your path?"
"Your Excellency, I never expected you to go to such lengths..." Song Xiwei truly didn't know what to say.
The disappointment with the gap is beyond measure.
Fortunately, upon hearing the urgent summons from her sect, she was determined to rush back regardless of the consequences.
But all that awaited her was scheming.
"Now I fear that once your grandmaster recovers, he will join forces with the Heavenly Court to target my Penglai. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect it anytime soon," sighed the Venerable Penglai.
"There must be another way!" Song Xiwei tried to calm herself down.
She believed that if her master failed to scheme once, he would try again.
Even if the Grandmaster feels guilty towards him and comes to Penglai to save him out of old feelings, his top priority is to kill Wanwan.
As for the Venerable Penglai helping him restore his power, his master probably already had suspicions. His master had probably already planned how to deal with the Venerable Penglai.
