Chapter 587: Illusory Things
Ye Fei blinked, looking around at everything. Every stone, every bamboo stalk, every stream, even every wisp of air, was so familiar to her.
This is where she lived before her rebirth—the Qiankun Sect!
Ye Fei walked to the stream next to her, squatted down, and looked at her face reflected in the water.
With delicate features, fair skin, and a small beauty mark at the corner of her eye... this was the face she had before her rebirth.
Ye Fei stared blankly at her reflection in the water. In disbelief, she pinched her cheek hard, feeling a sharp pain that left a red mark on her face.
That's strange. Why is she at the Qiankun Sect? Shouldn't she be in the Eight Desolate Divine Realm?
Just then, a pleasant voice came from behind: "Xiao Fei, what are you still doing here? The competition is about to begin!"
Ye Fei turned around and saw a pretty young woman in front of her. She had a long sword at her waist and was wearing a blue robe.
“…Zhuyu?” Ye Fei called her name with a stunned expression.
Lin Zhuyu raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? You look strange. Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Fei rubbed her eyes, and after confirming that she wasn't seeing things, she rushed over and hugged her tightly: "Zhu Yu! Zhu Yu! Thank goodness... you're still alive!"
Lin Zhuyu: "..."
Lin Zhuyu: "Are you cursing me? Of course I'm alive and well!"
Ye Fei didn't say anything, but hugged Lin Zhuyu tightly and couldn't help burying her face in her shoulder.
Lin Zhuyu, her only confidante, was also an inner disciple of the Qiankun Sect, just like her.
Later, during a mission, Lin Zhuyu was caught in a trap set by her enemies and met a tragic end, being pierced by a thousand arrows.
Lin Zhuyu's death was a huge blow to her, and she completely closed herself off, becoming a loner who did things her own way.
Later, she killed hundreds of people inside and outside Lin Zhuyu's family overnight.
That day, a light drizzle was falling, and the rainwater mixed with blood, leaving rivers of blood and corpses strewn everywhere.
After that battle, the Qiankun Sect began to fear her, which became the catalyst for the subsequent encirclement and annihilation of her.

Lin Zhuyu asked in surprise, "Xiao Fei? Are you really not feeling well? Maybe we shouldn't go to the competition today?"
Ye Fei released Lin Zhuyu and looked her up and down, as if trying to memorize her as a whole.
After a long pause, Ye Fei laughed and said, "I'm not going. The competition is nothing compared to you."
Lin Zhuyu laughed upon hearing this, and poked Ye Fei's forehead with her hand in annoyance: "Fine, if you don't want to go, then you don't have to. After all, Xiao Fei, you are a well-known genius in the sect! But, what do you want to do next? Cultivate? Or... go for a walk in the streets?"
"Come walk with me, right here."
"No problem!" Lin Zhuyu readily agreed.
Two girls of similar age strolled through this vast bamboo forest.
"Xiao Fei, let me tell you! The person in charge of lunch today was that Wang Erdan who throws all the seasonings into the stir-fry! Good heavens, the vegetables were so salty they could kill you. It was a wise decision for you to stay in your seclusion room to cultivate at noon!"
"And there's more! I watched the first few matches, and some of the participants were clearly outer disciples, yet they pretended to be instructing inner disciples on how to use a sword! It's terrifying!"
Ye Fei listened to Lin Zhuyu's incessant chatter, and a smile curled at the corners of her lips.
She knew that Lin Zhuyu was a chatterbox, and that he would talk to her about the affairs of the sect every day.
She used to be so focused on cultivation that she didn't really care about gossip and rumors, but now she's willing to listen to every single word she says.
If this is a dream, she hopes she won't wake up...
