In the misty and fairyland-like Piaomiao Xianzong, the grand and solemn sect master's hall was filled with a mysterious and tense atmosphere. A figure in black clothes was sitting quietly beside the bed, with an upright posture and a serious attitude. This person was the black-clothed man that Xue Lian had always brought with him.
At this time, Xue Lian was kneeling on one knee on the side. He gently stroked the slender and boneless body of the man in black, his eyes revealing endless tenderness and attachment.
Suddenly, a strange feeling came quietly from Xue Lian's brow, like a sharp needle piercing his eyes, bringing an unbearable pain. Xue Lian couldn't help but frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
"It seems that with my ability, I still cannot control a Mahayana cultivator for a long time! I believe that Master has already noticed the clues at this moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Lian slowly stood up, raised his hands lightly, and carefully took off the black-clad man's hat. As the hat slipped off, a stunningly beautiful face appeared before his eyes. This woman was extremely beautiful, with a pair of bright almond eyes, and willow-like curved eyebrows that added a bit of charm to her. She looked like a typical oriental beauty.
Xue Lian stared at the familiar face infatuatedly, reached out and gently stroked Jiang Yingli's face, and said softly:
"Yingli, wait a little longer. It won't be long before we meet again. Believe me, it will be soon..."
However, no matter how Xue Lian expressed her true feelings, Jiang Yingli in front of her remained unresponsive, sitting there like a cold statue, motionless.
Xue Lian finished talking to himself, stood up and walked outside. His steps seemed a little heavy, as if he was carrying the weight of the whole world. He closed the house and cast a spell to prevent anyone from entering the house. The door slowly closed, as if completely isolating him from the outside world.
Back at the Xiao Mansion, Chu Qian and the others gathered in the hall, all with anxious and uneasy expressions on their faces, seemingly waiting for something. As time passed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn.
After a long time, Bai Nantian and Xiao Ding came in, followed by Rong Rouxue. Xiao Ding introduced: "This is Bai Nantian, and I don't need to elaborate on Bai's story."
Chu Qian bowed to everyone, then looked at You Rong Rouxue behind her. A trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes, and she frowned and asked, "She won't hurt us again, right?"
Bai Nantian shook his head and said gently: "Sect Master Yourong has escaped from control and is fine now."
Chu Qian didn't seem to believe it. She said unhappily, "Control? A Mahayana cultivator can be controlled. Is she pretending?"
You Rong Rouxue heard her words and showed a guilty expression, saying apologetically:
"Everyone, I'm very sorry. This is all my fault. I didn't take good care of Ning'er and even wanted to hurt you. I'm very sorry."
After saying that, she bowed deeply and apologized. This was her first time to apologize. She had never been so humble because of a person or a thing.
Everyone was surprised. A Mahayana monk apologized to them. This was something they had never thought of. As they looked at Yourong Rouxue, the resentment in their hearts gradually dissipated, replaced by a complex emotion.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall became unusually quiet, with only Rong Rouxue's apology echoing in the air.
Finally, Bai Yulan coughed lightly, breaking the silence. Her voice was clear and firm: "Grandpa Bai, who is controlling Sect Master Yourong? Even a Mahayana cultivator like her cannot escape?"
Bai Nantian's gaze first fell on Bai Yulan, then slowly turned to You Rong Rouxue, revealing a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.
Everyone's eyes also focused on Yourong Rouxue, their faces full of confusion and puzzlement. As for Xiao Ning's disappearance, everyone in the Xiao Mansion only knew that Xiao Ning ran away because Yourong Rouxue's apprentice Xue Lian came back, and the two might have had problems in their relationship, causing Xiao Ning to leave, but they knew nothing else.
Rong Rouxue looked at the confused people in front of her. She sighed softly and recounted what had happened before in a heavy tone.
"That traitor Xue Lian actually lied to me and said he had given up his magic skills and wanted to practice under me again. At that time, I was so overwhelmed by my emotions that I didn't realize his conspiracy. This gave Xue Lian the opportunity to plant his unique secret skill, the Soul-stealing Curse, in my body."
There was a hint of regret and self-blame in Yourong Rouxue's voice, "It was because of this spell that affected my emotions and made me do such a ridiculous thing."
After hearing this, the confusion on everyone's faces became more obvious. Chu Qian couldn't help but ask, "What exactly does your apprentice want to do?"
Rong Rouxue's eyes became deep. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If I'm not mistaken, the man in black with him is Jiang Yingli's body. He is very likely to repeat the same mistake and try to revive Jiang Yingli again."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the method of resurrection, I think it has something to do with Ning'er. Otherwise, Xue Lian wouldn't have controlled me and made me want to find Ning'er at all costs."
At this point, Rong Rouxue's eyes flashed with pain and helplessness, and she seemed to be recalling something. Everyone also fell into deep thought, and they began to think about Xue Lian's real purpose and Ning'er's role in it.
The whole scene became extremely solemn, as if an invisible pressure was shrouding everyone. Everyone realized that things were much more complicated than they had imagined, and Xue Lian's plan was full of mystery and danger.
