Lu Ling seemed to sense Bai Ying's gaze, and her shoulders shrugged slightly in fear.
The moment the pills were brought out, the banquet erupted in uproar.
Because it was quickly recognized by someone as a poisonous substance.
The poison contains Gu worms that can temporarily control a person's mind, making that person act according to their own will.
"Bai Ying! How dare you openly break the rules!" Senior Brother Su Yu was very disappointed. "Wasn't the whip I gave you that day hard enough? You really need to be taught a lesson!"
"Senior sister! This...this poison, is it real? What do you intend to do to Xiao Yu?" Ruan Xinrou asked weakly, tears streaming down her face.
"I understand!" Sixth Junior Brother Qin Zijing slapped his forehead, as if he had figured something out, and said in disbelief, "Senior Sister Bai, your heart is too dirty! I know you've liked Senior Brother Xiao for a long time. Are you trying to use a Gu poison to manipulate Senior Brother Xiao? To make him say he likes you in front of everyone? And you're still wearing your wedding dress! Do you really want Senior Brother Xiao to marry you in front of everyone? To make it a fait accompli?"
Qin Zijin became more and more excited as she spoke.
Although what he said was somewhat exaggerated, Bai Ying was indeed wearing a wedding dress.
For a time, everyone believed it to a great extent.
Bai Ying stared coldly at the people before her, a sharp pain suddenly shooting through her heart. This pain was far worse than the claws of the Nightsaber Leopard piercing her heart and lungs.
Now that things have come to this...
Is there anything else you don't understand?
That's a really big game of chess.
What does it mean to like yourself?
This is a complete scam.
Xiao Yu deliberately approached him when he was at his most disheartened.
She gently comforted herself when she saw him as her lifeline.
Just when she had decided to give him her heart, she was dealt another heavy blow!
Just how much hatred must one harbor to do such a thing?
Hahaha.
That's ridiculous...
He turned her into a huge joke!
A fishy, sweet taste suddenly rose in Bai Ying's throat.
The surrounding guests all looked at Bai Ying with disdain.
"This is utterly despicable! Isn't this ruining Xiao Yu's life?"
"I have never seen such a treacherous person..."
"She even wore her wedding dress. She's so shameless. Doesn't she even look in the mirror? What makes her worthy of Senior Brother Xiao? She's like a toad trying to eat swan meat."
Bai Ying trembled uncontrollably as she listened to these words.
She stared intently at Xiao Yu, her eyes bloodshot, wanting to see if he felt even a trace of guilt or remorse.
However, no.
Xiao Yu said righteously, "Bai Ying, I will not marry you. If you use such despicable means again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered.
Bai Ying's face grew even paler and more unsightly.
Someone threw a bowl of sweet soup and splashed it hard on Bai Ying's face.
The sticky liquid drenched Bai Ying, dripping down her hair and making her look like a madwoman who couldn't have what she wanted.
Upon hearing the news, the Enforcement Hall also came over.
Within the sect, the use of Gu poison is strictly prohibited.
Once discovered, the holder will be severely punished.
"Come with us to the Discipline Hall." The men came to arrest Bai Ying.
Bai Ying suddenly went berserk, violently shaking off the other person's hand and slapping Xiao Yu with her palm.
Destroy it.
Let this ridiculous thing all come to an end.
Destroy her sincerity, her love, her humble attempts to please, and her cautious yearning...
All her cultivation was concentrated in her palm, and spiritual power burst forth. Just as the palm was about to strike Xiao Yu, Qin Zijing quickly drew her sword and fiercely stabbed at Bai Ying.
"Bai Ying, stop hurting people!"
He only wanted to discourage Bai Ying, but he underestimated Bai Ying's murderous intent. The sword pierced straight through Bai Ying's body.
Fresh red blood gushed out.
Bai Ying's hand stopped an inch in front of Xiao Yu's eyes. It wasn't that she was soft-hearted, but that she was exhausted. She had been seriously injured while giving Xiao Yu the treasure, and the injury had been suppressed until now, but she could no longer suppress it.
She looked down at the sword that had pierced her body.
He laughed again.
This one was also something she had forged for Qin Zijin.
...
No one expected this to happen.
Seeing the shocked looks on everyone's faces, Bai Ying looked at Xiao Yu, while Qin Zijing called out her name in a panic.
But there was not a trace of emotion in his eyes.
She only thought:
Did he just die like that?
That's fine.
I'm finally free.
She had long since given up on living...
-
I opened my eyes again.
Bai Ying suddenly sat up, breathing heavily.
Her beautiful face was as pale as snow, devoid of any color. Her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
"Bai Ying, you're awake?"
Bai Ying looked up somewhat blankly, only to see her sixth junior brother, Qin Zijin, saying with unusual excitement:
"That's great. Now that you're awake, I don't have to be punished. You have no idea, they actually blamed me for harming my fellow disciples. It was clearly your own fault for not hiding, what does it have to do with me?"
Bai Ying looked around at the people. There were only her senior brother, Ruan Xinrou, Qin Zijin, the people from the Enforcement Hall, and a few cultivators who had come to watch the excitement.
Bai Ying finally realized what had happened...
She was deceived by Xiao Yu and stabbed by Qin Zijin.
Not only that.
Just now, while she was in a deep sleep, she had a very long dream.
She dreamt that she was being deceived by Xiao Yu and deeply hated by everyone in the sect, just like she was today.
From then on, she became truly alone, and everyone avoided her like the plague.
