"Why did this woman suddenly come out! Ning'er?"
Bai Ziyun shouted in astonishment, and at the same time quickly stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Ning's petite and weak body tightly. His eyes shot towards Yue Lin not far away like a hawk, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Because she was too excited, the sound she made was extremely loud, and even Rong Rouxue and Leng Qingqiu who were in the room were attracted.
Rong Rouxue and Leng Qingqiu walked out of the room quickly. When they saw Yue Lin standing there, they both looked puzzled. Obviously, they had no idea about the appearance of this strange woman.
At this time, Xiao Ning's entire face was tightly covered by Bai Ziyun's huge chest, so that breathing became a little difficult. He waved his hands desperately, trying to break free from Bai Ziyun's restraints, but to no avail. In desperation, she had to slap Bai Ziyun's body with her hands and squeezed out a hesitant voice from her throat:
"Master... please let me go!"
Finally, Bai Ziyun realized that Xiao Ning was struggling in his arms, and he loosened his hands as if waking up from a dream. After being freed, Xiao Ning exhaled deeply and gasped. His originally white face was now red, like a ripe apple.
Seeing this, Leng Qingqiu hurried forward and gently patted Xiao Ning's back to help her calm down. At the same time, she turned around and scolded Bai Ziyun:
"Ziyun, don't hold Ning'er so tightly every time. Aren't you afraid that you will suffocate him?"
After hearing this, Bai Ziyun suddenly felt very embarrassed. He scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at Xiao Ning apologetically, and said:
"Ning'er, I'm so sorry! I was in a hurry just now and didn't mean to do that..."
Xiao Ning waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. After a pause, he explained Yue Lin's situation.
"I discovered that Yue Lin still had some human emotions and memories. So I made a deal with her. I promised her that I would help her get rid of Li Mu's control and help him avenge his hatred. In exchange, her life would be under my control from then on.
After Xiao Ning recounted the incident in detail, the other three people present finally understood the situation. However, Bai Ziyun still stared at Yue Lin with a cold gaze and said coldly:
“Whether she still has memories and emotions, she and Li Mu brutally murdered my Shenxiao Sect disciples. This is an unforgivable crime. I swear I will not be a human being if I don’t avenge her!”
Facing Bai Ziyun's resentful words, Yue Lin's beautiful but expressionless face remained calm as water. She simply responded:
"I really can't find any excuse to absolve myself of the guilt of the murder of your disciples. At that time, I was completely manipulated by Li Mu and had no power to break free from his control. Even if there were reasons, I still committed the crime of killing with my own hands. Here, I sincerely apologize to you..."
"Apologize? Can a simple apology erase all the pain and resolve all the hatred?"
Bai Ziyun was furious, his eyes were spitting fire, he rushed forward like a gust of wind, raised his palm, which brought with it a fierce gust of wind, and was about to slap Yue Lin hard.
At this moment, Leng Qingqiu on the side was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and moved as fast as lightning. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Bai Ziyun's arm tightly, as if she had used up all her strength.
"Ziyun, don't be impulsive. She was refined by Li Yun into a humanoid device, so naturally she has no way to resist. We can't put all the blame on her alone!"
Bai Ziyun's anger subsided a little after hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, but his eyes were still full of anger and unwillingness. He slowly put down his arms, turned his head, and no longer looked at Yue Lin.
Yue Lin stood there silently, her eyes empty and helpless, as if she had lost her soul, without saying a word.
Xiao Ning's eyes were a little solemn. He slowly walked to Bai Ziyun's side, stretched out his hand, grasped her jade hand, and said in a firm tone.
“Master, Yue Lin was indeed forced into a desperate situation, and the culprit is Li Mu. We can’t put all the blame on her. And I promised Master before that I would avenge the disciples of Shenxiao Sect and make Li Mu pay the price!”
Bai Ziyun's anger gradually subsided when she heard Xiao Ning's words. She also knew that Yue Lin was just a poor creature used by Li Mu to kill someone, and she really couldn't be blamed for all the mistakes.
Then, Bai Ziyun squatted down and hugged Xiao Ning. Her movements were gentle and warm, as if she was protecting a precious treasure. She changed her tone and said softly:
"No, Ning'er! I must solve this matter myself. As for this woman, since Ning'er said so, I will not bother with her."
Xiao Ning hugged Bai Ziyun's neck tightly, his gratitude overflowing with words. He said in a gentle voice: "Thank you, Master, for understanding me."
Just as the master and the apprentice were being affectionate, Rong Rouxue coughed softly. Everyone came back to their senses and looked at her. Her face was pale and her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.
"Ning'er, I have something to do. I need to go back to Piaomiao Immortal Sect..."
There was Rong Rouxue's soft and melodious voice, like the ripples caused by the breeze blowing across the lake, as if they would quietly dissipate into the vast air in the next moment.
When Xiao Ning heard this voice, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked straight in the direction where You Rong Rouxue was, his face full of confusion and puzzlement. He frowned slightly and asked:
