Yun Wan'er struggled to lift her blood-stained, tear-streaked face, and choked out in a voice filled with vulnerability, dependence, and boundless grievance, "Brother Wushang...you...have you come to take Wan'er away?"
Her eyes were filled with hopeful tears, as if she could already see Ye Wushang sweeping away all obstacles for her and leading her out of her suffering.
However, Ye Wushang's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, and his icy eyes didn't even glance at her, as if her pitiful cries were just annoying mosquitoes buzzing in his ear.
He casually flicked his long, slender fingers twice in the air.
The next moment, the fragments of black jade marrow that Shen Zhaozhao had pierced with the Zixiao Sword and scattered on the ground seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, instantly transforming into more than a dozen thin black streams of light, all of which flew back into his palm and disappeared.
Ye Wushang retrieved the black jade marrow, then slowly turned his gaze to Yun Wan'er, a half-smile curving his lips.
However, he ignored Yun Wan'er, whose eyes were full of hope, and instead turned his gaze to Shen Zhaozhao, with an indescribable, almost scrutinizing, playful look.
Immediately, a smile curved his lips, a smile that could freeze Yun Wan'er's blood, and his tone was leisurely, with a hint of sarcasm.
"I don't know about other things, but Wan'er..."
Ye Wushang deliberately dragged out the last syllable, as if savoring something amusing, "Back then, you helped me break the Yellow Springs Seal in Liuyunchuan, allowing the Demon Realm to invade Liuyunchuan. Logically and morally, it seems I... should have helped you out..."
He tilted his head slightly, making a regretful expression, but his eyes remained as cold as ever, and his voice was light and airy: "It's just a pity... you're really too useless."
Yun Wan'er: "???"
The color drained from Yun Wan'er's face instantly, and her mind went completely blank.
What...what is he saying?
How could he... how could he dare to say this in front of his master and Grandmaster Xuanji?!
Wasn't he here to save her?!
Why? !
She watched as Ye Wushang finished speaking, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Shen Zhaozhao again. Deep within his eyes lay a hint of something that only the parties involved could perceive—a hint that was almost transactional, as if to say, "Look, I've helped you solidify her guilt. Remember this favor."
Immediately, the young master of the demon realm seemed to have no more lingering attachments. His figure vanished like a ghost at the entrance of the water prison, as if he had never been there, leaving only his heart-wrenching words echoing in the deathly silence.
Shen Zhaozhao's eyes flickered slightly; she naturally caught Ye Wushang's meaningful glance.
Is this person deliberately trying to sabotage us?
Should we sell her a good deal?
Her mind raced, but her face remained impassive, as if she hadn't noticed the demon's implied meaning.
However, Yun Wan'er clearly saw Ye Wushang's last glance at Shen Zhaozhao. A jealousy and hatred that hurt more than the wound on her forehead and was more intense than being "abandoned" by her master instantly burned away her reason like a poisonous flame.
All her expectations turned into a complete joke at this moment!
So, even the young master of the Demon Realm whom she thought she could rely on was actually here for Shen Zhaozhao?!
On what grounds?!
What's so great about Shen Zhaozhao?!
One or two of them, all revolving around her?!
"Oh……"
Yun Wan'er suddenly chuckled softly, her laughter carrying a kind of reckless madness.
She raised her eyes, staring intently at Shen Zhaozhao, the resentment in her eyes almost tangible, her tone full of sarcasm: "Shen Zhaozhao, you really have some impressive methods..."
"One man isn't enough, you're even going after the demons?"
As if she had thought of something, she suddenly chuckled and said maliciously, "I wonder, if that person knew that you and Ye Wushang were exchanging glances like this... would your position by his side still be secure?"
The "that person" she was referring to was naturally Xie Linyuan.
Even at this point, she still couldn't resist using the most malicious thoughts to speculate and sow discord.
"Wan'er!"
Lingxiao Zhenren, who was standing to the side, was finally completely devastated by the information revealed in Yun Wan'er's words. His face turned pale, and his voice trembled uncontrollably with disbelief: "You colluded with the Demon Realm... and destroyed the Yellow Springs Seal?! Did you really do it?!"
As if he were seeing this disciple he had raised with his own hands for the first time, his eyes were filled with broken confusion and heartache: "What... are you thinking?!"
"Yes! So what?!"
Yun Wan'er suddenly turned her head and retorted sharply to Ling Xiao Zhenren, her face devoid of its usual gentleness and obedience, replaced only by a twisted sense of self-righteousness.
"Back then, you all proclaimed that I was the future of the Heavenly Evolution Sect! You said that all the resources of the Heavenly Evolution Sect should be directed towards me!"
She pointed a finger at Lingxiao Zhenren, her eyes fierce, as if she were the one who had suffered a great injustice: "Since that's the case, it's just a matter of a few disciples' lives helping me cultivate, so what?! Don't they belong to the Tianyan Sect?! Isn't sacrificing for the future of the sect their honor?!"
"It's just bad luck for them! It's just that you, Master, are not strong enough!"
She became increasingly agitated as she spoke, completely absolving herself of any blame: "Otherwise, why have I been unable to break through my bottleneck under your guidance?! You're the one who wronged me first! You failed to teach me properly!"
"If you're incompetent, are you going to blame me for finding another way?!"
"Opportunity is offered to me, why shouldn't I take it?!"
These shocking remarks exposed her selfishness and callousness.
