"No! Senior Brother Zuo, I'm telling you the truth, can you please let me go?"
Zuo Huaixin did not answer, but said, "Tell me about it!"
Chen Yanxue's tears came suddenly, and she didn't know why her eyes were red. "Senior Brother Zuo, I did indeed mistakenly join the Demonic Sect, but I was forced into it... I was orphaned and helpless since I was a child. I was sold into the Demonic Sect because I believed what others said. For many years afterward, I wanted to escape that place. After the Demonic Sect was besieged, I knew my chance had come, so I never went back to that place. I have never killed anyone, really."
Zuo Huaixin wasn't that cunning. Seeing the girl's vivid and expressive manner, he immediately believed her somewhat and then asked, "What are you doing breaking into the Discipline Hall tonight?"
The girl continued, "Later I found out that my biological father was likely imprisoned in the Heavenly Sword Sect's dungeon. I just wanted to find out about my background... Senior brother, I meant no harm."
Hearing this, Zuo Huaixin sighed, thinking that she was a pitiful girl after all, but he still said, "No matter what, you broke the rules of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I will heal your injuries first, and then I will take you to my master. As for the things you mentioned, I will plead for you."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the girl's eyes, but she quickly regained her gentle demeanor and nodded, "Then thank you, Senior Brother!"
Without hesitation, Zuo Huaixin took out a life-saving pill given to him by his master from his storage artifact and fed it to the girl. "Hey! I wouldn't even eat this myself. It will help your injuries. I'll use my internal energy to heal you later."
Although the sect's martial arts competition was the next day, Zuo Huaixin should have been conserving his energy at this time and not wasting his strength like this.
But he was very kind; he not only took out his precious elixir, but also used all his internal energy to heal him.
By the time dawn broke the next day, thanks to the effects of the medicine and his best efforts to heal her, Chen Yanxue's injuries had improved.
He stood up wearily and said, "That pill was given to you by Junior Uncle. Your injuries should be much better now. The severed tendons have been reattached. Although the technique wasn't very good, it shouldn't affect your normal movement. Rest well for a while and don't fight with anyone again."
Chen Yanxue stood up and came up behind him, smiling slightly, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zuo!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl used all her strength to strike Zuo Huaixin's pressure points.
"What...what are you doing?"
"Senior Brother Zuo, I'm sorry... I can't go with you to see Senior Uncle Liu. Thank you for healing my injuries. I'll be leaving now!"
"Wait...wait...you can't do this. Even if you want to find your biological father, you don't have to do it in such a secretive way. If you tell your master and the others directly, they might be able to help you."
Hearing this, Chen Yanxue frowned slightly. Perhaps she was also a little puzzled as to why the young man in front of her still hadn't realized that she was lying to him. She had only made up a lie on the spot to gain his trust, yet he actually believed it?
But thinking of how naive this person was, Chen Yanxue couldn't bear to tell him the truth. She just smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zuo. I can handle it myself, but breaking into the Discipline Hall last night was a violation of the rules. If I am discovered, I will definitely be expelled from the sect. I like my master very much and I also like the Heavenly Sword Sect very much, so... could you please keep it a secret for me?"
Zuo Huaixin snorted and said, "No! You can't just leave like this. I already made an exception to save you once. You have to come with me to see Master!"
Seeing his foolishness, Chen Yanxue immediately lost the will to continue pretending. Her expression changed, her eyes filled with mockery, and her entire demeanor underwent a significant transformation.
If she looked like a delicate young girl before, her current appearance truly matches the temperament of a demonic sorceress. Her upturned lips are full of playfulness and mockery, and her eyes hold a depth that is inconsistent with her age.
"Little brother, do you know who your older sister is? You actually believe what I say?"
"Were you lying to me about what you said before?!" A hint of anger flashed in Zuo Huaixin's eyes.
"Little brother, it's not a good thing to be so trusting of others. I'm not playing with you anymore, I'm leaving!" With that, the girl turned around and prepared to leave.
But after taking a couple of steps, she seemed to remember something, then turned back to Zuo Huaixin, pinched the boy's cheek, and then leaned in to kiss him. "Such an innocent little boy, I almost fell for him. Consider this your reward!"
