It's a pity, though, that she's actually a disciple of Shenji. If she hadn't become his disciple, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to take her in as a student.
When Linghu Lan first met Yinghua, they were enemies meeting, and their eyes were filled with hatred.
After thinking for a moment, Linghu Lan realized that Ji Liang's wish was for Ying Hua to pay the price, not for Ying Hua to die directly. Having done countless missions, Linghu Lan knew that there was a big difference between the two.
She could vaguely sense that killing Yinghua did not count as completing the mission. Ji Liang's wish, though seemingly simple, actually required a great deal of time, place, and people to be in order to be fulfilled. Linghu Lan had already foreseen the difficulty of completing the mission.
Her eyes flickered slightly, she smiled faintly, and pleaded with Shenji, "Could you knock this guy out?"
Linghu Lan's hand touched Shenji's arm, and Shenji instinctively flinched away, frowning as he asked, "Don't you want to kill him?"
He could sense Linghu Lan's murderous intent towards Yinghua, but he was surprised that Linghu Lan's request was to knock Yinghua unconscious instead of killing her.
He gave Linghu Lan a deep look. She had a secret, but now was not the time to ask.
Linghu Lan sighed, "Although I really want to kill him, it's not possible now!"
Yinghua's face froze, his entire body turning as black as iron, a tremendous anger surging in his chest, threatening to burst him apart.
He is the dignified sect leader of the Thousand Shadows Sect. How can two people discuss his life and death in front of him? Do they even respect him?
He took a deep breath, fed himself a pill, and slowly began to recover from his injuries. He said in a deep voice:
"Shenji, although your Shenci Palace is powerful, my Qianying Sect is not to be trifled with either. We have always kept to ourselves, so why ruin our harmony over a mere young girl? You should understand that although you can injure me, killing me will not be easy. If I were to fight you to the death, you wouldn't fare much better. A decline in cultivation is a minor matter; we might end up dying together. There is no deep-seated hatred between us, is there?"
Shenji's eyes narrowed sharply, his piercing gaze sweeping over Yinghua's face. After a long while, he said honestly, "You're right! If I were to kill you with all my might, I would inevitably suffer injuries myself. However, you're wrong. She's not some 'young girl'!"
Yinghua looked at Linghu Lan, her eyes icy cold. "Young lady, this is the first time I've met you. We've never met before. Why do you want to kill me?"
Linghu Lan laughed and said, "This is the first time I've heard that the Shadow Sect Master is so reasonable. You didn't talk to my junior sister like this just now."
Yinghua's aura faltered, and her gaze swept over Meng Xiaofei, a mortal whose appearance was only a 7 out of 10, although she seemed to have good aptitude.
Yinghua admitted that she valued appearance somewhat. Almost every disciple of the Thousand Shadows Sect was good-looking; the men were dashing and handsome, and the women were beautiful and refined. If one's appearance was not up to par, even if one had excellent talent, one would not be able to enter the Thousand Shadows Sect.
That's why he pushed Meng Xiaofei away earlier. Meng Xiaofei fell face-first from above, so her appearance was naturally not presentable.
Mo Sheng'er in the story is more lucky. She lands on her bottom, and although her face isn't particularly beautiful, her youthful and vibrant aura makes her lively and adorable, which is what won Ying Hua's heart.
Linghu Lan had seen this situation many times. In this world, it's not that exceptionally talented and handsome men necessarily find equally talented and beautiful women. Instead, they are often attracted to those less talented or beautiful than themselves, but with unique personalities and temperaments.
