Chapter 6: This Is the Advantage of a Regressor!
In the dim light of red candles,
The atmosphere was heavy.
For a time, only Su Youwei and the jade rabbit remained in the room.
The girl leaned back against the wall, curled up, and made no attempt to escape. Not only because the lives of the Fifth Elder and her aunt were in Bai Lian’s hands, but also because she knew she was no match for the rabbit.
Although the jade rabbit, holding a spiritual herb and gnawing happily, appeared feeble, at the speed it had just shown, Su Youwei estimated that she couldn’t outrun it—even if she had 180 more legs.
“Haw.”
What a terrible night!
Su Youwei couldn’t understand why Bai Lian had suddenly appeared in Gray Wind Town after her rebirth and claimed to be her Martial Sister. The world seemed completely out of order. Even Bai Lian’s character was different from what she remembered.
Su Youwei didn’t ease her vigilance simply because Bai Lian “temporarily gave up doing bad things.” After all, Bai Lian had not yet been scheduled to become the next sect leader of the Duxian Sect.
According to the words of a female disciple, Bai Lian was the model Martial Sister of the Duxian Sect, someone whom countless disciples looked up to.
No one could have guessed that beneath her dazzling appearance lay a soul darker than an ink-stained water tank.
“Are you trying to trick me?”
Su Youwei’s fist clenched slightly beneath her sleeve.
Suddenly, she understood.
The reason Bai Lian had abandoned her original plan must have been that she was changing strategies.
All she had to do now was maintain the guise of being the model Martial Sister to lure Su Youwei into “doing that” voluntarily.
Humph!
This woman’s scheming is truly terrible.
“But you’ve got the wrong idea.”
Su Youwei blinked her eyes. She wasn’t as naive as she seemed. After all, she had once been known as “Shura.” It was impossible to deceive her with such a simple trick!
Even if Bai Lian racked her brains, she couldn’t possibly know that Su Youwei was a reincarnated person. She had already seen through Bai Lian’s poor acting skills.
Thinking of this, Su Youwei’s panicked heart gradually calmed.
If she was right, she, the Fifth Elder, and her aunt would be safe—for a short while, at least.
But one thing was certain: she couldn’t let Bai Lian find out that she had seen through everything!
Otherwise, the enraged Bai Lian might resort to brute force.
Even if she obtained the Immortal Relics, it would not be easy for Su Youwei to catch up to Bai Lian in such a short time.
Bai Lian might be a fake “Natural Saint,” but her cultivation base was very real. Otherwise, how could she pretend to be the real thing?
Su Youwei made a decision. She would pretend to cooperate with Bai Lian for now, and when the chance came, she would escape with the Fifth Elder and her aunt.
At this moment, she looked up and saw the jade rabbit eyeing her suspiciously.
“……”
Could this rabbit see through her mind?
Su Youwei grabbed a corner of the quilt and whispered, “Are you Bai Lian’s pet?”
“Haw!”
The jade rabbit nodded happily.
In an attempt to show goodwill, it picked a spirit herb that hadn’t been bitten and handed it to Su Youwei.
Su Youwei was stunned.
It was clearly a 20-year-old Star Spirit Herb.
If she could refine the medicinal power of this Star Spirit Herb, her cultivation base could successfully break through to the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Su Youwei’s excitement grew.
She suddenly realized that she could use Bai Lian in return.
She could eat and drink her things, and then—run away!
If she could use the Duxian Sect’s resources to repair the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl in advance, Bai Lian wouldn’t pose a threat at all, and the hatred in her heart could finally be put to rest.
Puff~
Su Youwei, who had been living in fear all night, had never felt so happy and relaxed.
This is the advantage of being a reborn person!
“Thank you.”
She took the Star Spirit Herb from the jade rabbit.
She noticed the jade rabbit’s clear eyes. It didn’t seem like an evil creature at all.
Alas.
Poor rabbit!
It probably had no idea what kind of terrible demon its master was.
Su Youwei wasn’t in a rush to refine the Star Spirit Herb. She knew the timing wasn’t right. First, she needed to confirm that Bai Lian genuinely intended to save the Fifth Elder and her aunt.
She just stared at the half-opened window.
Waiting was excruciating.
Su Youwei heard a clanging sound when the crescent moon peeked out from behind the clouds.
She jumped out of bed quickly, not even bothering to put on her shoes.
Ka.
Ka.
A white shadow flashed past.
Bai Lian, carrying two people, appeared in front of Su Youwei.
Su Youwei’s excitement surged when she saw the faces of the two people.
“Aunt and adoptive father!”
She took two steps forward, but suddenly stopped, her eyes flashing with anger as she looked at Bai Lian.
“What have you done to them?”
Bai Lian explained, “Don’t worry, I just knocked them out temporarily. Since time was tight, I didn’t have time to explain it to them, so I had to do it this way.”
Su Youwei paused for a moment, sensing their breathing was steady. It seemed that Bai Lian wasn’t lying.
Great!
Now she was 70% sure that Bai Lian was trying to seduce her.
This meant that Bai Lian was still quite greedy for her poor body.
This was her chance.
Stay calm.
Su Youwei forcibly suppressed the excitement rising in her chest.
She asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “When shall we leave Gray Wind Town?”
Bai Lian sighed and stood up. “We might not be able to leave for a while.”
╮(╯﹏╰)╭
“?!”
Su Youwei flinched.
Did Bai Lian change her mind again?
Bai Lian said, “On the way back, I discovered that the main road leading out of Gray Wind Town was secretly blocked.”
Su Youwei blurted out, “Are we exposed?”
Bai Lian shook her head. “It has nothing to do with us.”
But despite this, she felt like she was being targeted by the entire world!
It was like buying milk tea but forgetting to get a straw.
She was so angry that she wanted to beat the table!
Su Youwei whispered, “What’s going on?”
Bai Lian replied, “Someone has offended the Red Moon Sect.”
It must have started right after her arrival in Gray Wind Town.
The girl Su Youwei had seen earlier had a conflict with the stall owner who sold cotton tree shells. Less than half a day later, the Red Moon Sect showed up to make trouble.
Bai Lian knew that if she intervened rashly, things wouldn’t end well.
Judging by the task reward, it seemed the girl had done something else to completely provoke the Red Moon Sect.
Sigh. Her experience was still too limited.
If Bai Lian were handling it, she would secretly kill the stall owner so that no one would know.
Bai Lian estimated that if they tried to leave Gray Wind Town now, they would be surrounded by the Red Moon Sect.
Su Youwei’s eyes reddened when she heard the name “Red Moon Sect.” The murderous intent in her heart surged uncontrollably.
“Calm down!”
Bai Lian quickly snapped her out of it.
She had a headache.
Originally, she worried that her second Martial Sister was too “soft,” but now she had to worry that her third Martial Sister was too “hard.”
If Su Youwei couldn’t control her killing intent, she might end up beheading Bai Lian one day!
Bai Lian shuddered at the thought.
What a tragedy!
Why were there no normal people around her?
Bai Lian sighed and sat down by the bed. “It’s a long night, Martial Sister. Let’s find something to kill time.”
Ah?
Looking at Bai Lian, who suddenly leaned toward her, Su Youwei panicked again.
Not now.
At least not in front of the Fifth Elder and my aunt!
She held her breath as Bai Lian reached out and pulled out a Go board.
“Play Gobang.”
“Huh?”
“Gobang!”
Su Youwei’s jaw dropped in shock.
