Ruan Xinrou had no idea why Yan Chiling wanted Bai Ying to go.
After Yan Chiling returned with Bai Ying, she threw a huge tantrum.
"Bai Ying is just replacing me. She's only needed when there's a fight. Now that we've finally received an award, why do we need her to go again?"
Ruan Xinrou was very upset.
She'd been terrified every day for the past few days. Bai Ying was performing too well; if things continued like this, she wouldn't be able to leave the house anymore. She couldn't let Bai Ying replace her!
Now that the sect has finally given them a reward, Yan Chiling actually wants Bai Ying to go again!
This should have been her highlight moment.
She could imagine how many people would be watching her when the Grand Elder personally commended her.
At that time, her luck will surely soar! How could she be absent from such a moment!
Ruan Xinrou's eyes were filled with tears:
"Have you fallen for Bai Ying?"
Yan Chiling was stunned for a moment, finding it utterly ridiculous.
"How could I possibly like her? You know I hate her the most. Look at all the times before, haven't I beaten her up until her face was bruised and swollen?"
Yan Chiling habitually uttered these words, but halfway through, he noticed Bai Ying beside him and felt somewhat awkward. He also felt a vague unease in his heart.
"I'm just worried that the Grand Elder will ask you to use the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Piercing Slash again tomorrow. What if you can't use it then?"
"It's alright, I just said I've been a bit tired these past few days. Besides, Bai Ying has already used it so many times, hasn't she? They should have seen enough. The Grand Elder won't let me use that move. And that's a whole set of techniques being taught. I can't let Bai Ying go!"
As she spoke, Ruan Xinrou released her early Foundation Establishment stage aura towards Yan Chiling.
"Look, I'm already in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and I'm no worse than Bai Ying. If I learn that technique, I might even be stronger than Bai Ying."
Yan Chiling looked at the somewhat crazed Ruan Xinrou and shook his head inwardly.
Although she and Bai Ying were both in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, they were not comparable at all.
One's progress was achieved through excessive medication, while the other's slow progress was due to the complexity of his studies and the need to solidify his foundation.
They are no longer on the same level.
Just then, Yan Chiling's communication talisman suddenly lit up.
Their master, True Person Qin Hua, is coming out of seclusion tomorrow.
Ruan Xinrou was overjoyed when she saw the news.
Master already liked her. If Master saw how powerful she was, he would definitely be very happy!
“Senior brother, you saw it too, it was Master. He will come to see me being commended tomorrow. If Bai Ying is sent now, Master might notice.”
Yan Chiling frowned. Their master was indeed different. He knew his disciples too well and couldn't possibly not see through Ruan Xinrou and Bai Ying.
"Alright, then you go. However, the illusion on Bai Ying cannot be dispelled yet."
"Of course."
In fact, Ruan Xinrou no longer intended to dispel the illusion on Bai Ying.
"Senior brother, after a while, let Bai Ying die."
Yan Chiling shuddered, feeling a heart-wrenching pain for some reason.
His face turned deathly pale. He looked up in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"What I mean is, as long as Bai Ying is outside, she can use the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Breaking Slash, which is easy to spot. The only solution is to make sure she never appears in public again."
From then on, I kept Bai Ying trapped by illusions, forcing her to work for me. But I could no longer let her show herself outside.
Ruan Xinrou's ruthlessness terrified Yan Chiling.
He himself was not a good person, and he had thought so before, but he couldn't believe that these words would come from the kind-hearted Ruan Xinrou herself.
Yan Chiling stared intently at Ruan Xinrou, almost thinking he had misheard.
Should we keep Bai Ying as a puppet forever?
How can we make her lose her own thoughts and only serve Ruan Xinrou?
Why does just thinking about it make his heart ache?
Ruan Xinrou continued, "We can also occasionally have Bai Ying break free of the illusion, so she can appreciate the effort she's put into helping me. Once my cultivation surpasses hers, we can then remove her. At that point, even if she tells others about it, no one will believe her."
As for the evil Ruan Xinrou spoke of, she had already used a tool on Yan Chiling to transfer all his affections to her. She wasn't afraid that Yan Chiling wouldn't like her, so she didn't care at all about releasing her malice in front of him.
Yan Chiling thought about the scene she described.
My heart is pounding violently.
Wouldn't Bai Ying go crazy if that happened?
Yan Chiling couldn't refuse Ruan Xinrou's request because of his unparalleled love for her.
But after he went back, he had a dream.
He even dreamt that he was saying to a girl who was practicing swordsmanship with all her might, "You don't need to work so hard, I will protect you."
The girl smiled sweetly at him: "I don't need your protection, I can protect myself!"
But he persisted: "I don't care, I will protect you! For the rest of my life, I will protect you forever!"
After saying that, he forcibly grabbed the girl's hand and insisted on making a pinky promise with her.
The girl giggled at his childish behavior, but still extended her finger and made a pinky promise with him.
Yan Chiling tried very hard to see the girl in his dream, but he couldn't make it out no matter what he did.
He suddenly opened his eyes, not knowing why his heart was aching so badly, and tears were already falling from his eyes.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
—
The next day, everyone in the sect gathered together. Except for a few people who were in seclusion or out of town, everyone who could attend was there.
The sect leader and elders were all gathered at the front.
They want to reward the most promising disciple in the sect.
All disciples who successfully complete the Demon-Suppressing Tower challenge will receive very generous rewards. As the most outstanding among them, Ruan Xinrou will receive not only these rewards, but also the cultivation techniques personally taught by the Grand Elder.
Ruan Xinrou was overjoyed to see her master sitting at the very front.
She felt a surge of pride as she walked forward upon hearing her name called.
At this moment, several elders from other sects arrived.
They were all praising Ruan Xinrou.
"I heard that she defeated five Golden-Winged Rocs with her early Foundation Establishment cultivation."
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."
Hearing their praise, Ruan Xinrou felt incredibly proud.
She was still thinking how lucky she was to have come; Yan Chiling had really worried too much. How could they possibly let her practice her sword at a time like this?
But at that moment, an elder suddenly said to Ruan Xinrou:
"Young friend, I've heard that you can use the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Piercing Slash, the technique of your sect's founder, the Spirit Rhinoceros. Could you demonstrate it to us?"
"That's right! I heard that the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Piercing Slash is incredibly powerful. I came here today specifically to broaden my horizons."
Ruan Xinrou never expected this to happen. Her heart clenched, and her face changed instantly.
