Chapter 72: If Worse Comes to Worst, Just Say You’re Ling Xue’s Woman
Outside the courtyard, Liu Chengshuang hid by the door and didn’t go in. She poked her head out, quietly eavesdropping.
Yun Luoxi wants to go out to train? She doesn’t want to stay in Lingxu Sect anymore?
Inside the courtyard, Liu Wenwan stood up and looked at Yun Luoxi in front of her. She could understand Yun Luoxi’s thoughts.
At this point, Ling Xue had already reached the pinnacle of the Extreme Martial Realm, while Yun Luoxi had barely managed to enter the Sky Profound Realm. Without enough training and sharpening, she might never catch up with Ling Xue in her lifetime.
Staying in Lingxu Sect, Yun Luoxi’s progress would undoubtedly be slow. In that case, she could never catch up with Ling Xue, let alone exact her revenge.
“Do you really hate him that much?” Liu Wenwan tried to ask again, “You could actually coexist peacefully with him. He’s willing to do that, after all.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
If Yun Luoxi would just lower her head a little, if she could stop opposing Ling Xue so much, it could work. There really wasn’t a need to seek revenge.
“Since he’s willing to take responsibility, why must you continue to go against him like this?” Liu Wenwan continued.
This made Liu Chengshuang, who was outside the courtyard, widen her eyes in shock.
What responsibility? Ling Xue… could it be he did that kind of thing to her?
Could he have done that to Yun Luoxi?
Oh my god! The pure and holy saintess of Lingxu Sect, the always virtuous and chaste Yun Luoxi, was defiled by Ling Xue?
No wonder, no wonder Ling Xue treats her differently from everyone else! No wonder Ling Xue sometimes even gives her special care. This is serious!
“I’ll never forgive him in my entire life!”
Inside the courtyard, Yun Luoxi’s face was cold. Ling Xue had taken advantage of her vulnerability, disrupted her cultivation, and even taken her body.
With her personality, how could she possibly let him off? How could she coexist with Ling Xue?
If only he had treated me differently, she thought bitterly, perhaps we could’ve really become husband and wife.
But he had to use such a barbaric way. There was no way she could ever forgive him.
Liu Wenwan sighed softly. Yun Luoxi not forgiving Ling Xue was expected. If she forgave him so easily, she wouldn’t be Yun Luoxi. She wouldn’t be the noble saintess of Lingxu Sect.
“It’s my fault for not protecting you back then,” Liu Wenwan said, her tone laced with apology.
If she had been there to protect Yun Luoxi while she was in seclusion, none of this would have happened. At that time, Ling Xue was just a useless person with no cultivation, and wouldn’t have had any opportunity.
“This has nothing to do with you, Master! It’s all his fault! He’s a scoundrel!” Yun Luoxi coldly replied.
Liu Wenwan could only shake her head helplessly. True, it was Ling Xue’s fault, but as Yun Luoxi’s master, she also bore some responsibility.
“So… where do you plan to go?” Liu Wenwan asked.
“The world is vast. I will wander freely!” Yun Luoxi answered. “I want to collect the sub-flames of the White Nether Demon Flame!”
[*”白冥妖火 (Bái Míng Yāo Huǒ)”: “White Nether Demon Flame,” a rare and powerful flame used in cultivation in fantasy contexts. Usually, the main flame has sub-flames or “子火 (zǐ huǒ)” that need to be collected to harness its full power.]
Her only chance to catch up with Ling Xue now lay in the White Nether Demon Flame. As long as she could gather all the sub-flames quickly, she would have a chance to surpass him.
When the time came, she would make him pay for what he did!
“But going out alone…” Liu Wenwan’s eyes were full of concern.
“Don’t worry, Master. I’m confident!” Yun Luoxi replied. “I can’t stay in Lingxu Sect forever!”
Lingxu Sect’s traditional methods of cultivation could no longer satisfy her. To grow stronger, she needed more rigorous trials.
Seeing that Yun Luoxi had made up her mind, Liu Wenwan knew she couldn’t dissuade her. She sighed softly and said, “Alright then. When you’re outside, be cautious in everything you do. If you encounter trouble, just mention Lingxu Sect. We might not be a great power, but we have a certain reputation.”
“Mm!” Yun Luoxi nodded lightly.
“If you have no other choice… just say you’re Ling Xue’s woman. Let’s see who dares touch you then!” Liu Wenwan added with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yun Luoxi’s eyebrows furrowed. She would never say something like that. Never!
“So, when do you plan to leave?” Liu Wenwan asked again.
Yun Luoxi pondered for a moment and replied, “Right now!”
Since her decision was made, there was no reason to delay.
“Alright!” Liu Wenwan nodded. “When you’re out there, be very careful. With your beauty, many might set their sights on you.”
“Don’t worry, Master! I’ll handle it,” Yun Luoxi said with a slight nod.
“Then… I bid you farewell, Master,” she added.
“Go ahead. The world outside might be more suited to you. With your current strength… you’re indeed capable of making a name for yourself out there!” Liu Wenwan smiled lightly.
Yun Luoxi had already reached the late stage of the Sky Profound Realm. She could indeed hold her own in the outside world.
And if things got too difficult, she could always invoke the name of Lingxu Sect. If that didn’t work, invoking Ling Xue’s name would certainly do the trick.
She was sure Yun Luoxi’s journey would be smooth sailing.
