Chapter 089: Deceiving Myself

She's awake!

Bai Qiulan is awake!

With a soft moan, Bai Qiulan opened her eyes, and at this moment, her aura surged, actually increasing by two minor realms in one breath.

The "Taiyin Transformation Scripture" is indeed a very fierce technique. While she was asleep, this technique had been automatically operating, continuously dissolving the Chaos Venom.

Dissolving, the Nascent Soul absorbed and condensed.

Dissolving again, the Nascent Soul absorbed and condensed again.

Of course, the speed at which the Nascent Soul absorbed was definitely not as fast as the speed at which it was born.

After a while, Bai Qiulan recovered, and the temperature of her body returned to normal.

"You're awake!"

Yue Hongling and Sun Ruowei said happily at the same time.

Bai Qiulan suddenly frowned, her expression changing drastically, "Who touched my clothes?"

"Master, it was me, I did it," Yue Hongling hurriedly said.

Only then did Bai Qiulan breathe a sigh of relief.

"How are you feeling now? What's going on with your constitution? Why do you still have such calamities even after reaching the Unity Dao Realm?" Sun Ruowei asked anxiously.

"It's fine, I have my own way to deal with my constitution. The coma was just a form of self-protection. Did my coma alert anyone else?" Bai Qiulan asked.

Yue Hongling and Sun Ruowei looked at each other.

"Ahem, no!"

Bai Qiulan's face was full of helplessness.

"Tell me, who did it alert?"

It was fine not to mention it, but once it was brought up, Sun Ruowei was filled with anger.

"Qiulan, what's going on with you? Why are there always such men around you? Lu Ye, no matter how much we begged him, even if we asked him to do whatever he wanted without blaming him, he still refused to save you!"

Although Bai Qiulan had already guessed it, when she really heard that Lu Ye was indifferent to her, her heart still turned cold.

Alright, she was indeed a bit foolish.

She clearly didn't want Lu Ye to save her, and when he really didn't, she still felt lost.

"It was indeed me who told him not to save me, so it's not his fault," Bai Qiulan showed no signs of abnormality.

"Lu Ye is one thing, you told him not to save you, but there's also Liu Zhangfeng."

Bai Qiulan's expression changed drastically.

"You let Liu Zhangfeng try to save me?"

Although she couldn't bear the relationship with Lu Ye, traditional thoughts also made her unable to accept any man other than Lu Ye.

Her final outcome should be walking alone on the Avenue.

"No, no, how could we let Liu Zhangfeng save you?" Yue Hongling understood Bai Qiulan's reaction and quickly explained.

Bai Qiulan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It wasn't about him saving you; I asked him to order Lu Ye to save you, but he refused to give the order. He even said I shouldn't call him by his name but should address him as Sect Leader. It's really too much," Sun Ruowei said with dissatisfaction.

Bai Qiulan understood Liu Zhangfeng's meaning.

She felt a bit emotional, thinking that in this world, apart from Lu Ye from her previous life, there might be no one else who could treat her so wholeheartedly.

Yue Hongling hesitated.

Bai Qiulan looked at her, "Do you have something to say?"

"Well, well, Master, do you really not know that senior brother would endure great pain when helping you?" Yue Hongling asked.

Bai Qiulan was stunned.

"Why do you ask that?"

"I went to ask senior brother to save you, and I told him you didn't know he would endure great pain. But he said you knew."

Bai Qiulan fell silent.

She did not answer the question.

"I'm tired and need to meditate and rest. You two go and attend to your own matters."

Not answering was the most deafening response.

Yue Hongling couldn't believe it.

Master, did she really know?

Didn't she always say she didn't know?

Why?

Why did she pretend not to know when she actually did?

Why exactly?

She wanted to ask more but was pulled away by Sun Ruowei.

Bai Qiulan looked at the closed door, closed her eyes, and finally couldn't hold back a tear that fell from the corner of her eye.

Of course, she knew that Lu Ye was enduring great pain, but she had actively chosen to forget.

Especially after obtaining the "Taiyin Transformation Scripture," Lu Ye would no longer suffer. As time passed, she gradually forgot about the pain Lu Ye had endured.

But she remembered Lu Ye's identity clearly.

She was the master, and Lu Ye was the disciple!

She was deceiving herself.

She had even convinced herself, how pitiful.

...

"There's nothing much to see here!" Lu Ye complained.

"Ding, if there's nothing much to see, why are you so engrossed?" The system expressed its dissatisfaction.

"Was I engrossed?"

"Ding, you were!"

"You must have seen wrong, but then again, you don't have eyes, so it's understandable if you made a mistake."

"Ding, I have eyes, many eyes, as many as I want."

"They're all blind!"

"Ding, your eyes are the blind ones!!!"

After bickering with the system for a while and organizing his storage ring, Lu Ye was in a rather good mood.

"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I returned to the sect. Why haven't those factions made any moves yet? If there's no more action, I might as well go look for the Withered Humanwood."

The Withered Humanwood was a crucial treasure for him to condense three lives.

He also knew where it was.

The reason he hadn't left the Great Dao Sect was to wait for the alliance of sects to attack the Great Dao Sect, so he could leave under their noses and draw all the fire onto himself.

Because the Great Dao Sect had sealed itself off after returning, Lu Ye had no idea about the current situation outside.

He didn't know that the news of forty-six Tribulation Realm experts all dying was spreading rapidly across the Great Wilderness.

The speed of the spread was terrifyingly fast.

The entire Great Wilderness was in an uproar.

"Forty-six Tribulation Realm experts? Fifty-seven Inquiry Realm experts? All wiped out?"

"My God, is the Heavenly Secrets Report joking with us? How many Tribulation Realm experts are there in the entire Great Wilderness, even if you add up all the factions?"

For example, the Great Dao Sect, in order to save Lu Ye, had sent out nineteen Tribulation Realm experts.

The five great sects, three great dynasties, and the Eternal Sect.

Altogether, there were at most two hundred Tribulation Realm experts.

Because the number of Tribulation Realm experts in the Great Dao Sect was definitely above average.

In addition to these top factions, there were also first-rate factions, as well as the hidden Underworld and Heavenly Pavilion. That is to say, at least one-seventh of the Tribulation Realm experts in the entire First Heaven had been wiped out.

A full one-seventh of the Tribulation Realm experts had died!

The YinYang Law Sect and the Supreme Empire had almost lost all their strong experts.

The Jiezong Sect and the Shanhe Pagoda Sect were even more regretful, their intestines turning green.

Originally, their relationship with the Great Dao Sect was quite good, and everyone was amicable when they met.

As could be seen from Xu Mozhi sending a magic treasure to Bai Qiulan.

But now, things had turned out like this.

Not only had they become enemies with the Great Dao Sect, but they had also lost so many strong experts, with many casualties among the younger generation, leading to a gap in both the rear and the front.

The strong were gone, and the potential was gone.

These factions felt completely numb.
