He Jingjing was Wu Xiuyun's person. After helping her with something, she was silenced. Wu Xiuyun felt a little bit sorry. On top of that, Wu Xiuyun wanted to use He Jingjing to benefit her family in the secular world. After He Jingjing's death, if the He family wanted to see her one day, where would she find her?
"Forget it, forget it. Since my junior sister wants to keep her, then let her stay!" Liu Jingyu thought that he still had some use for Wu Xiuyun, and he didn't want to go against Wu Xiuyun's wishes for the sake of He Jingjing, so he had to take a step back.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Wu Xiuyun bowed to Liu Jingyu gratefully and said, "If it weren't for Senior Brother's righteous rescue, Xiuyun would have already..."
Wu Xiuyun had always been affectionate towards Liu Jingyu, but it was a pity that Liu Jingyu had been so slippery over the years, deliberately ignoring her expressions of love. Initially, Wu Xiuyun thought it was because she wasn't good enough that Liu Jingyu disliked her. Yesterday, after Taoist Lingyun had a conversation with Wu Xiuyun, Wu Xiuyun turned to Liu Jingyu for help. Only then did she realize that Liu Jingyu had long seen through Taoist Lingyun's ill intentions towards her, and she didn't want to risk Taoist Lingyun's jealousy, so she stayed away from Wu Xiuyun.
Wu Xiuyun had originally decided to die. In her heart, Taoist Lingyun was no less than her adoptive parents. Although Taoist Lingyun told Wu Xiuyun that dual cultivation would not harm her, how could Wu Xiuyun dare to believe it?
Liu Jingyu volunteered to help Wu Xiuyun, and that's how he set up this trap, which tricked Taoist Lingyun. In Wu Xiuyun's room, Liu Jingyu had put a drug called "Soul Sealing Powder" in her mouth. This drug was extremely potent, not only colorless and odorless, but also effective within minutes.
After a cultivator is poisoned by the "Soul Sealing Powder", the spiritual energy in his body will completely stagnate and he will be unable to cast any spells.
If it weren't for Liu Jingyu's "Soul Sealing Powder", Wu Xiuyun wouldn't have dared to plot against Taoist Lingyun. After all, Taoist Lingyun was a Jindan cultivator. With Wu Xiuyun and Liu Jingyu's current abilities, how could they possibly defeat him?
Liu Jingyu and Wu Xiuyun had both taken the antidote, so they were naturally not afraid of the "Soul Sealing Powder" in the room. Seeing Taoist Lingyun lying on the ground in a mess, Liu Jingyu felt extremely happy and couldn't help but show off to Wu Xiuyun, "Junior sister, now you believe in Second Senior Brother's ability, right?"
"Senior brother, your kindness is so great that Xiuyun has no way to repay you." Wu Xiuyun looked at Liu Jingyun with eyes full of affection.
"It's just a small favor, Junior Sister, don't worry about it. But how should we end this matter? Ling Yun is the leader of a sect after all, we can't let him disappear here..." Liu Jingyu frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, "Junior Sister, Ling Yun will wake up in a few minutes. According to you, how should we deal with this rapist?"
"Brother, I'll do as you say." Wu Xiuyun glanced at the unconscious Taoist Lingyun, her face thick with resentment. If it weren't for what Taoist Lingyun had said last night, Wu Xiuyun would have never imagined that Taoist Lingyun, who was like a father to her, would harbor such foul thoughts towards her. However, she didn't know what to do with Taoist Lingyun. She couldn't just kill him, could she? "Disrespecting one's teacher and ancestors" was a scorned act in the world of cultivation. She didn't mind it herself, but she wondered what Second Brother would think.
"Junior sister, now that things have come to this, let's destroy Ling Yun's cultivation and force him to give up the position of the head." Liu Jingyu had thought of this idea a long time ago, but he didn't want Wu Xiuyun to realize his purpose, so he deliberately let Wu Xiuyun make the decision.
"It's up to you, senior brother." Wu Xiuyun said gratefully.
"Junior sister, let Lingyun give the position of the head of the sect to you later. All the disciples in the sect know that you are Lingyun's favorite disciple. You deserve to be the head of the sect." Liu Jingyu began to use his eloquence again to lead Wu Xiuyun in the direction he wanted.
Sure enough, Wu Xiuyun shook his head and said, "Second Brother, no, no, I can't be the head of the sect. This position of the head of the sect should be held by you."
Liu Jingyu pondered for a long moment before finally speaking with a firm resolve, "Alright! Senior Brother, I'll do it with reluctance. However, while I'll officially hold the position of Sect Leader, secretly, I'd like to share it with Junior Sister. The path to immortality is so lonely, I wonder if Junior Sister would be willing to become my Taoist companion and accompany me on this journey?" Liu Jingyu seized this opportunity to offer his courtship to Wu Xiuyun. This proposal moved Wu Xiuyun, who already had a crush on Liu Jingyu, but he hadn't responded. Who would have thought that after the two of them had caused such a catastrophic disaster together, Liu Jingyu would actually propose to her?
He Jingjing lay in bed unable to move, but she heard everything Wu Xiuyun and Liu Jingyu said clearly. From this angle, He Jingjing could see the expression on Liu Jingyu's face. After Liu Jingyu said that he wanted to become a Taoist partner with Wu Xiuyun, the calculation that flashed across his face was clearly seen by He Jingjing.
He Jingjing felt a chill in her heart. Subconsciously, she knew Liu Jingyu might harbor ill intentions towards Wu Xiuyun. But she couldn't protect herself, so who was she to warn Wu Xiuyun about Liu Jingyu? Seeing how affectionate Wu Xiuyun was towards Liu Jingyu, she wondered if she wouldn't believe anything He Jingjing said.
He Jingjing closed her eyes. She didn't dare to look or think any further.
After her rebirth, He Jingjing always believed that she would be a "favored daughter of heaven," not only gaining an all-knowing "system" but also embarking on a life of cultivation. However, as is often the case, blessings often intersect with disasters, and disasters often intersect with blessings. He Jingjing felt that this was the case for her.
So what if she had a "system"? Aside from the fact that it had helped He Jingjing a few times in the secular world, it had remained silent in the Yushan Sect. This "system" made no difference whether she had it or not.
After becoming a cultivator, He Jingjing realized that someone with five spiritual roots like her was just a scumbag among cultivators. A menial disciple, haha… What did the word "menial" even mean? A mere servant to the higher-ranking cultivators of the cultivation world. If Wu Xiuyun hadn't still had a shred of conscience, this day next year would be the anniversary of her death.
He Jingjing was disappointed. Being a lower immortal in the Langyuan Secret Realm was worse than being a higher-ranking person in Kyoto City! Unfortunately, it was said that cultivators who entered the Langyuan Secret Realm could not leave unless they reached a certain level of cultivation. Even if He Jingjing wanted to return to Kyoto City, she had no choice.
He Jingjing was lost in thought and didn't hear clearly how Wu Xiuyun and the others planned to deal with Taoist Lingyun.
"Ah~!" Another shrill scream made He Jingjing open her eyes.
Wu Xiuyun and Liu Jingyu in the room had disappeared. Taoist Lingyun, who was tied up with ropes, was lying on the ground, hunched over, screaming miserably.
