Xue Qingyi frowned and turned around, then saw Su Youyao appear.
There was another person following her.
When Xue Qingyi saw clearly who the tall and handsome figure was, her body stiffened suddenly, cold sweat poured down her forehead, and the hand holding the sword hanging by her side could not help but tremble slightly.
As the man approached, her face turned pale and she stepped back step by step.
However, behind her was the tightly closed gate to the Heart Demon Realm, and she had no way to retreat.
Seeing his pair of romantic and unrestrained handsome eyes fixed on her, Xue Qingyi's pupils turned red, and she felt that her vision was flooded with a thick and sticky blood color.
The painful memory that penetrated deep into her bones made her unable to bear it any longer. She turned around decisively and pressed the leader's handprint directly into the groove of the boundary gate!
Then, when the gate had just opened a narrow gap, under the man's extremely aggressive and deep gaze, she quickly turned into an ice-blue stream of light and dived in!
Seeing this, Su Youyao paused.
The handsome male cultivator also stopped.
His eyes flashed, and he looked dimly at the closed gate, at Xue Qingyi's figure that disappeared in an instant.
"What's going on? Fifth Uncle, why does Second Sister seem to be avoiding you on purpose?"
Su Youyao raised her head and looked at the tall male cultivator beside her, and spoke in a puzzled tone.
"I don't know. Maybe she's still upset about the last time I accidentally hurt her."
Shangluo twitched the corners of his lips slightly, and said in a low and clear voice without much concern.
"Alas, maybe it's not your problem. Second Senior Sister really hates me. Last time I took the initiative to show my affection to her, she pushed me down and bluntly said that she didn't like me and asked me to stay away from her..."
Su Youyao said this with a dejected look.
"How can this be your fault? She hurt you like that, but you were willing to forgive her. This shows that although you are weak, you have a broad mind, while she is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others." Shang Luo comforted her.
"Fifth Master, I feel embarrassed by your praise..."
Su Youyao raised her little face and smiled at him shyly.
After saying this, she glanced at the tightly closed gate, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly in complacency.
Just one door away.
Xue Qingyi stood in the inner demon realm and heard clearly the conversation between the two people outside.
Hearing Shangluo's words, she suppressed her somewhat frantic mind caused by the growth of her inner demons, gritted her teeth and laughed coldly.
Accidentally injured?
He said it so lightly!
Xue Qingyi shook her head and drove the man out of her mind. However, in the realm of inner demons, her consciousness uncontrollably gave rise to one inner demon after another.
But normally, after entering the inner demon realm, the inner demon will not come out so quickly.
She suddenly realized that Su Youyao chose this time by chance and brought Shangluo to find her. It was obviously intentional!
Her real purpose, though she said that she wanted to be the best junior sister in the world, was to use Shang Luo to disrupt her mind, causing her to develop inner demons in advance, so that she would be caught off guard and fail the inner demon trial and become a cripple. Only in this way could he take away her spiritual roots and sword bones openly.
But the question is, how did Su Youyao know that her inner demon was related to Shangluo?
At this moment, hearing the two people outside seem to leave, Xue Qingyi cursed inwardly, "You bastard!"
In the sect, everyone treats Su Youyao as a treasure.
Little do they know that underneath this sweet and soft appearance, this little sister who is loved and pampered by them is actually a man!
This unknown secret was only discovered by Xue Qingyi in her previous life by chance after a long time.
The reason why she was eventually framed by Su Youyao and instigated her master to kill her was because Su Youyao realized that she wanted to make this secret public.
In this life, she will no longer think about exposing Su Youyao.
It was not because she was afraid, but she just wanted to wait and see the day when the secret that Su Youyao was actually a man was exposed and the entire Liuyun Taoist Sect would become a joke!
I wonder how interesting the expressions on the faces of my master, uncles, and fellow apprentices will be when they learn the truth!
Just thinking about this at this moment, Xue Qingyi felt extremely happy!
At the moment, she put these thoughts aside and concentrated on dealing with the trial in the Heart Demon Realm that had begun ahead of time.
In the realm of inner demons, the cultivator enters an illusion, which is a reappearance of the scene where the cultivator originally developed his inner demons.
In the illusion, the cultivator's mind is affected by his inner demons, making it very easy for him to make the same choices as before, thus leading to failure in the trial.
And if you fail, the illusion will repeat itself over and over again.
The monk can only leave when he attains enlightenment in the illusion, overcomes his inner demons, or simply admits defeat.
If a cultivator overcomes his inner demons, his cultivation level will naturally improve rapidly.
If you admit defeat and fail, you will either become a useless person or just become a useless person.
Even if one is lucky enough to preserve his cultivation, his inner demons will become more severe, affecting his progress in cultivation, and he will find it difficult to advance to the next level. He will be haunted by his inner demons for the rest of his life, and in serious cases he may even go astray and become possessed, with his cultivation completely destroyed and he becoming a useless person, no longer having any chance of achieving immortality.
Most cultivators, if they have inner demons, will only have one.
Xue Qingyi is different.
She lied to her master at the beginning, telling him that her inner demon was her unrequited desire for him.
But in reality, she has three inner demons.
At this moment, the illusion in front of Xue Qingyi's eyes slowly spread out like water waves, and the place where she was turned into a world of ice and snow just between steps.
In the aristocratic courtyard unique to the human world, her delicate and beautiful figure suddenly shrank to the size of a three-year-old mortal cub, and the magical robe that was impervious to water and fire turned into a thin, worn-out coarse cloth shirt.
Then, as she stared at her short arms and legs in deep thought, a whip came down from the sky.
"Snap"!
It was as if the pain was real and penetrated into Xue Qingyi's consciousness, causing her to scream out in pain!
“It hurts!”
However, this soft little voice not only did not gain any sympathy from the man wielding the whip, but instead attracted even more severe abuse from him.
"It's right that it hurts! You are such an unlucky thing that brings bad luck to your parents! You dare to steal the milk cakes made by the kitchen for the young lady? You must be tired of living! I will beat you to death!"
"I, I am the daughter of the Xue family! I am the eldest daughter! You can't hit me like this!"
Little Xue Qingyi, with some pastry crumbs on her dirty cheeks, huddled up in a ball, hugging her own scarred and weak body, whimpering in soft and weak sounds of resistance.
Her words only caused the man wielding the whip to burst into wild laughter.
"The Xue family's legitimate daughter? Hahaha!
“Your parents are gone, and the entire Xue family sees you as a monster!
"You, a young lady, are living a worse life than a servant like me, and you still dare to say that I can't beat you?
"Believe it or not, even if I beat you to death, the master in the mansion would not blame me at all. Instead, he would ask me to throw your body into a mass grave to feed the wild dogs!"
Little Xue Qingyi was powerless to resist.
She also didn't understand why the people living in this mansion were obviously her closest relatives, but they treated her so cruelly and ruthlessly.
Is she really that annoying?
Did father and mother leave her on purpose because they didn't like her?
The sound of the whip and the pitiful cries of the baby continued for a long time, but no one paid any attention.
This miserable situation of not having enough food to eat, not having enough clothes to wear, and being beaten and scolded at every turn, continued for another two years.
This day was little Xue Qingyi’s fifth birthday.
She was so hungry that she stole some cakes from the kitchen. When she was discovered, she was severely beaten.
At night, she had a high fever and was talking nonsense, and it looked like she was about to die.
After receiving the report from his servants, the second uncle was unwilling to even look at her. With a look of disgust on his face, he ordered his men to throw her out of the house and leave her to fend for herself.
I thought I was going to die like this.
Unexpectedly, a figure like a banished immortal fell from the sky.
The person placed his beautiful palm on her hot forehead and then fed her a pill.
When little Xue Qingyi felt like she was alive again, he held her in his arms and said his name was Shangluo, and he was the fifth elder of Liuyun Taoist Sect, the first sect in the world of cultivation. He asked her if she was willing to go with him.
Although she was a little confused due to the fever, she knew that the stunningly handsome man in front of her was her only lifeline. She nodded immediately and said yes. If he was willing to save her, she would work like a slave for him.
Shangluo couldn't help but laugh.
He said he didn't want her to work like a slave, he just wanted to take her back to practice Taoism.
