Chapter 123
The one who must see Song Pianxian once arriving at Daiyuan Peak is Qu Xirong.
Hang Yunhe is still kneeling in Xingshan, bound by the Divine Binding Rope, enduring the punishment of whipping.
Elder Dujie personally threw him into Xingshan. Many people witnessed Hang Yunhe harming fellow disciples. For a while, Daiyuan Peak did not speak, and no one in the Lingyun Sect dared to release Hang Yunhe.
Qu Xirong had thought many times about how to approach Song Pianxian once seeing her and how to rally others if Daiyuan Peak refused to see visitors. Unexpectedly, Song Pianxian came openly and straightforwardly.
Standing high in the air, Song Pianxian’s eyes were as cold as frost:
“If you’re here for Hang Yunhe, you can leave.”
Qu Xirong clenched her fists, looking up at Song Pianxian high above. She had no choice but to lower her head and swallow her pride:
“Senior Sister Song, even if Hang Senior Brother made mistakes, his punishment shouldn’t be so severe. He has already been punished.”
“Moreover, Junior Sister has just returned safely. Senior Brother’s charges should have been cleared by now.”
Qu Xirong became more fluent as she spoke: “Originally, I shouldn’t have come here. Senior Brother has taken care of her for many years. Since she knew that Senior Brother was suffering in Xingshan, she should have taken the initiative to inform you, Senior Sister.”
“Do you have any respect for me when you keep calling me Senior Sister?” Song Pianxian interrupted her coldly.
Qu Xirong’s throat tightened, her expression stiff.
“Furthermore, about taking care of her, if it weren’t for Daiyuan Peak, would Hang Yunhe be where he is today?”
“But when Yu Yi needed care from fellow disciples, where was Hang Yunhe?”
At that time, while Yu Yi was asleep for three years, Hang Yunhe successfully formed his Nascent Soul, looking pleased and proud. He immediately moved to the new peak given by the sect with the cave bestowed by his master and many treasures given by his senior sister, leaving Yu Yi alone on Daiyuan Peak.
Of course, these were not enough to convict someone.
Song Pianxian originally didn’t want to deal with these old issues, if it weren’t for what happened in the secret realm.
She lowered her gaze, seeing through Qu Xirong’s twisted and dark expression.
She didn’t know if Lingyun Sect had manipulated anything regarding Yu Qing’s death, but undoubtedly, they, father and daughter, were like wolves and tigers, snakes and ants, lurking in the dark, watching closely.
If it weren’t for her identity as a Nascent Soul cultivator to intimidate them, even if Yu Yi could handle it cleverly, in the cultivation world, one against ten would hardly escape being sucked dry and eaten clean by them.
Faced with Song Pianxian’s question, Qu Xirong opened her mouth but couldn’t answer. Soon, she raised her voice:
“But do you think Yu Yi is so innocent and naive? She is cunning and pretends to be weak. Don’t let her deceive you!”
Once could be considered unintentional, but with repeated frequent actions, how could Qu Xirong still see Yu Yi as an inexperienced girl?
She hated that Song Pianxian was wholeheartedly protecting Yu Yi!
Qu Xirong almost shouted out this sentence. She took a few breaths, waiting for Song Pianxian to express doubt or to refute her.
Although she didn’t have concrete evidence, she believed that with her persistent probing, it wouldn’t be difficult to make Song Pianxian suspicious of Yu Yi. With Song Pianxian’s abilities, she would surely catch Yu Yi’s slip-ups.
At that time, seeing that Yu Yi was intentionally using her, knowing that she was being used by a worthless person, could she not feel distressed?
Qu Xirong’s expression became much calmer, and she even showed a faint smile. However, this smile was soon dispelled by Song Pianxian’s words:
“Regarding Yu Yi, it’s not for you to comment.”
Qu Xirong couldn’t believe it: “You knew it all along?”
In other words, Song Pianxian had known all along about Yu Yi’s cunning tricks, manipulating people’s hearts. Not only did she not mind, but she even seemed to tolerate and cooperate with Yu Yi’s little tricks?
This was simply absurd!
Song Pianxian lowered her eyes and said lightly:
“You should be thankful that Yu Yi is safe and sound, otherwise Hang Yunhe wouldn’t even have the chance to be punished.” He would have died directly by her hands.
After saying this, Song Pianxian ignored Qu Xirong, as further discussion with her would be futile.
She waved her sleeve, summoned the clouds and mist, and swept Qu Xirong away without mercy, forcefully expelling Qu Xirong from Daiyuan Peak.
Song Pianxian turned around and walked towards the cave mansion.
The girl who always had schemes in mind was still waiting for her to return inside.
Since she learned about the prescription that could reshape Yu Yi’s meridians, this matter was immediately listed as the first item on the agenda.
For Song Pianxian, if she treated this world as a game, the “prescription” would be the task item given to her by an NPC in the game, used to trigger the main quest “Help Yu Yi reshape her meridians”.
Although there was no system, this unspoken “main quest” seemed to subtly point her in the right direction.
Another piece of evidence was that Song Pianxian knew in her mind which main ingredients would help Yu Yi’s meridians. Seeing the prescription that Yu Yi obtained, she could match them one by one, confirming the reliability of this prescription.
If one were to infer from this, Song Pianxian might think that this so-called “database” was her original memory.
But her intuition didn’t think so.
There was a voice telling her that it wasn’t like that at all.
Never before had there been such a clear voice.
Song Pianxian couldn’t help but think of 09, the soul that had left her. Perhaps this was indeed a good thing.
Of course, the top priority now was to refine the Convergence and Purifying Dew for Yu Yi.
Because the spiritual herbs required for the medicine were extremely hard to find, Song Pianxian decided to personally take Yu Yi out to search for them and to relax.
When she discussed this with Yu Yi, Yu Yi agreed very readily, her eyes bright as if filled with starlight.
Song Pianxian smiled and said, “Bring Tang Miao along?”
“Tang Miao…” Yu Yi pointed to her chin, “Is the place we’re going suitable for him?”
Practitioners of different realms need to engage in battles with opponents of similar cultivation levels to gain experience. If they follow Song Pianxian and serve her, Song Pianxian doesn’t mind protecting Tang Miao more, but in doing so, there would be no meaning in gaining experience.
When Song Pianxian asked about this, her intention was to inquire if Yu Yi wanted to bring the “unconventional adventure trigger” Tang Miao along on the mission.
Since Yu Yi declined this proposal, Song Pianxian also nodded and said, “Then let him gain experience on his own.”
Yu Yi was satisfied with this.
So, the two of them would travel together without anyone else getting in their way.
During these few nights, she had already obtained Manzhi’s cultivation technique. Starting from the most basic technique of guiding Qi into the body, with her previous foundation, the speed of her cultivation could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, and she would be able to establish her foundation in just a few days.
And after establishing her foundation… this cultivation technique was even more incredible.
The feeling of power circulating freely within her body was so wonderful, as if the heavy burdens in her internal organs had all been lifted.
Perhaps because she had gained confidence, even towards her puppet, she became much more domineering.
Yu Yi smiled and hugged Song Pianxian’s arm, naturally hanging half of her body on Song Pianxian, like a soft and coquettish kitten:
“As long as Pianxian is with me, it’s enough.”
Song Pianxian looked over and patted her hand, her eyes full of tenderness:
“Being spoiled again.”
Yu Yi pouted, seeming dissatisfied, and Song Pianxian reached out and touched her face.
The fair fingertips lightly sank into the soft skin, amusing both of them.
Yu Yi smiled at Song Pianxian with crescent-shaped eyes, but she also seemed to be as immersed in the moon as she gazed at Song Pianxian, unable to look away.
Yes, it’s just like this that you should look at me.
I am your master, and you should gaze at me like this, possess me, and own me, just as I possess you.
