Chapter 009 Do You Know Me?

Lu Ye understood Yue Hongling very well.

The most painful thing for her was never hitting or scolding her.

Whether hitting or scolding, her nature would not admit defeat.

Of course, it might also be that the beating wasn't severe enough.

However, Lu Ye currently knew that ignoring Yue Hongling made her even more uncomfortable.

The feeling of having anger with nowhere to vent, having frustration with nowhere to release, was enough to make her collapse.

Sure enough, Yue Hongling became angrier the more she scolded, her face red and neck thick with rage.

She came to vent her anger, but instead of releasing it, she became even more furious.

Lu Ye simply ignored her, choosing to block his hearing and leisurely continue his cultivation.

As long as I can't hear you scolding me, then you're just scolding yourself.

Frustrated?

Uncomfortable?

That's right, this is exactly the effect I want!

Bai Qiulan arrived upon hearing the noise, looking at Yue Hongling who was almost angering herself to death, her willow-like eyebrows slightly furrowed again.

"Hong Ling, stop scolding," Bai Qiulan advised.

Seeing her master, Yue Hongling's grievances burst forth, and she immediately started crying.

She always appeared very fragile in front of Bai Qiulan.

Even sometimes while cultivating the Yin-Yang Dao, she would cry in front of Bai Qiulan.

"Master, master, wuwuwu, I only condensed a Heavenly Pill," Yue Hongling cried.

"That shouldn't be. You possess the memories of the Emperor and have the 'Ten Thousand Ancient Reverse Dao Scripture.' Even with just a top-grade Return to Origin Pill, you should be able to condense a Sacred Pill. Why did you condense a Heavenly Pill?" Bai Qiulan asked in confusion.

"It's all Lu Ye's fault. Every time I broke through before, he brought me a bunch of treasures and pills, saying they would assist my breakthrough and make it more perfect."

"This time, I found some pills and treasures to assist my breakthrough, but those forces not only didn't help me break through, but they also completely disrupted my true qi, which is why it turned out like this," Yue Hongling said with great grievance.

Hearing this, Bai Qiulan's expression immediately changed.

"This is nonsense! Lu Ye's understanding of various energies is unparalleled, rare in the ages. Every time he uses treasures and pills to assist your breakthrough, he refines and modifies them repeatedly, putting in immense effort. How can you just randomly match them yourself?" Bai Qiulan scolded.

Yue Hongling???

"Ah?"

"Didn't he just casually bring out some things that were beneficial for my breakthrough? How did he put in effort?"

Bai Qiulan was exasperated.

"I once personally saw Lu Ye matching pills for your breakthrough. He frowned deeply, his face full of pain and distress. Some pills even had to have their potency slightly destroyed, some had to have their potency enhanced. Many times, if he made a mistake, he had to start over."

"Assisting your breakthrough as if by divine help, how could it be casually matched? You even became the Emperor before, don't you understand?"

The stronger one's strength, the more one realizes how incredible it is that Lu Ye could assist Yue Hongling in her breakthroughs.

Such ingenious energy combinations, the precise amount of energy assistance—neither too little nor too much—and the peculiar energy reactions, who knows how many private experiments were conducted to arrive at the optimal combination.

Among the seven of them, who doesn't know that Lu Ye cares the most for this junior sister?

Yet Yue Hongling herself is unaware?

Bai Qiulan was utterly shocked.

Yue Hongling was also stunned.

"Master, are you saying that every time I broke through, the assistance was the result of senior brother's countless experiments?"

"What do you think? You became an Emperor, try assisting someone else in their breakthrough yourself, and see if they don't think you're crazy!"

"So, you can scold everyone, but when it comes to breakthroughs, your senior brother has never wronged you. Now, apologize to him!" Bai Qiulan said sternly.

"No, I won't apologize. If he hadn't taken my Perfect Recovery Pill, I wouldn't have thought of using auxiliary pills. This time, I condensed a Heavenly Pill, so it's still his fault for taking my Perfect Recovery Pill first!"

Bai Qiulan's eyes even seemed a bit bewildered at this moment.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"What absurdity are you spouting?"

"How can you say he took your Perfect Recovery Pill? In the previous life, that Perfect Recovery Pill was originally obtained by your senior brother, and he gave it to you. How did it become him taking it from you?"

Yue Hongling...

Oh no, she had forgotten that the Perfect Recovery Pill was originally given to her by her senior brother.

This pill, whether in the previous life or this one, never truly belonged to her.

"I find that you really have a big problem now. Immediately, go to the back mountain and reflect on your actions. If you don't figure it out and apologize to your senior brother, you are not allowed to leave the back mountain!"

Yue Hongling wanted to say something more, but she realized that no matter what she said, she couldn't stand firm on this matter.

"Hmph, anyway, he separated me and Feng Wuxie, and indirectly caused Feng Wuxie's death. This is something I still won't forgive him for!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

So what if it's the back mountain? I'll go!

Bai Qiulan looked at Lu Ye's tightly closed door, feeling somewhat worried.

"Lu Ye, are you alright?"

Lu Ye's lips curled slightly. Ridiculous, do you still have the face to scold Yue Hongling?

I don't even bother with Yue Hongling, do you really think I'll bother with you?

Not receiving a response from Lu Ye, Bai Qiulan could only leave helplessly.

Inside the room, Lu Ye's aura slightly vibrated, and the Sacred Core within his dantian radiated light, with intricate patterns spreading across the Sacred Pill.

His aura had grown stronger.

Core Layer Five!

Such a cultivation speed is simply astonishing.

Indeed, after shedding all burdens and encumbrances.

His strength has increased at an unimaginable rate.

No bottlenecks, no confusion.

The technique is formidable, the talent is terrifying.

Lu Ye simply doesn't know what could possibly hinder his path to sainthood!

Thus, another ten or so days passed.

On this day, suddenly a woman with a disfigured appearance, as if burned by a great fire, ran to the Great Dao Sect.

Just as she arrived outside the mountain gate of the Great Dao Sect, she collapsed in a heap on the ground.

"Who is it?"

The disciple in charge of guarding the gate shouted loudly.

Upon seeing the person, he immediately gasped in shock.

Good heavens, not only was she severely burned, but there were also sword wounds crisscrossing her body, the most severe one directly piercing several inches above her dantian, completely through.

The two mountain-guarding disciples looked at each other.

According to the sect's rules, they could not rashly save someone, as they did not know whether the person was good or evil, and judging by the long sword the woman held, it was clearly a Demon Sword.

Unless you know someone within the sect and that person knows you, only then will the Great Dao Sect lend a hand.

"Bai Lan Peak... Lu... Lu Ye, I... I am Chu... Ling..."

Chu Ling mustered her last bit of strength to utter these final words, then fainted on the steps.

At this moment, a figure flew through the air, his robes fluttering, his aura extraordinary.

However, he was also covered in blood, his eyes sinister.

Seeing the mountain gate of the Great Dao Sect, a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes, but not much fear.

"Fellow Daoist, I have pursued this wretch here, I mean no offense to the Great Dao Sect's majesty, I will take this wretch away immediately!" Master Lijian shouted loudly.

After saying this, he reached out to grab Chu Ling.

"Ding!"

A long sword thrust out three meters in front of Master Lijian.

"Not so fast, she has named someone from our sect, let me ask the sect members, if they do not know her, then you can take her away!" said the disciple of the Great Dao Sect.
