When he returned to the Sect Head's main hall, Qin Xi was sitting in a daze.
Mo Tiange also sat down and asked, "Where's Bai Yanfei?
Are you alright? "
Qin Xi regained his train of thought and said, "It can't get any worse. It won't just be depressed for a while; I reckon it'll turn into an Inner Demon."
"Oh …" Mo Tiange looked pensive. "Is this considered revenge?"
"Junior Brother Bai is quite pitiful. First, he suffered a blow from you, then he encountered such a thing.
However, this was not necessarily a bad thing for him.
He has already been firmly trapped by his heart's devil. If he suffers another blow, he might be able to rise from the dead. "
"I hope so." Mo Tiange didn't have much hope. With Bai Yanfei's temperament, he wouldn't change unless he really underwent a transformation.
In the next few days, Bai Yanfei stayed in his room. They knew Bai Yanfei needed time, so they didn't disturb him and let Feifei train those cultivators in his place.
In comparison, Wu Feishuang was in a good condition. Although she couldn't repair her arm for the time being, and the injury wasn't something that could be healed in a day or two, she was in a good mood and could even crack jokes occasionally.
Mo Tiange thought in her heart. This Senior Martial Sister Wu … I'm afraid she's really here for revenge. However, her revenge is very direct. She clearly said she wanted Bai Yanfei to never forget her.
She didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Bai Yanfei. This child really deserved it. Who told him to not take care of her for more than a hundred years? Even if he didn't love her, he still had to treat her well. But what about him?
Because of him, Wu Feishuang, an elite among elites, was stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage even though she was almost two hundred years old. No wonder Senior Sister Miaoyi was so angry.
However, this was also good. Previously, Bai Yanfei was already trapped by his Inner Demon, and now, he was even more thoroughly trapped. Maybe he really could come around and add another Nascent Soul Lord Daoist to the sect.
Even if he couldn't figure it out, Wu Feishuang would definitely be able to form her Gold Core after getting rid of this burden.
With this thought in mind, Mo Tiange diligently went to see Wu Feishuang again.
"Martial Uncle Qingwei." Wu Feishuang was still lying on the bed. Her complexion wasn't as ugly as it was a few days ago.
Mo Tiange nodded with a smile. "How's the situation?"
Wu Feishuang replied, "Senior Brother Hanjian said that I don't need to fight anymore. I'll just lie here until we return to the sect!"
Mo Tiange nodded. "You're seriously injured, so you naturally don't need to fight anymore."
"Yes, many thanks, Martial Uncle."
The two of them didn't have much of a relationship, so they didn't say anything to each other.
Mo Tiange thought for a moment then asked straightforwardly, "Martial Nephew Wu, aren't you afraid Martial Nephew Zhifei will fall into a demonic barrier by doing this?"
Hearing this, Wu Feishuang smiled bitterly and said, "I purposely wanted him to have his heart demon."
Upon seeing the astonishment on Mo Tiange's face, she said, "My master is Lord Daoist Miaoyi. I'm not that easy to bully.
Since he married me, he shouldn't treat me like this. My patience is limited.
For the past few years, I've been thinking about how to leave him and teach him a lesson. Now, I've finally found the opportunity. "
A strange expression appeared on Mo Tiange's face. "… Martial Nephew Wu, if I didn't arrive in time that day, wouldn't you have lost your life?
Don't tell me you're willing to bet your life for revenge? "
Wu Feishuang said faintly, "I know Master entrusted me to the two martial uncles, so presumably they wouldn't let me die in an accident. Even if I really died, it wouldn't be a big deal. The path of cultivation is fraught with dangers. Since I've embarked on the path of immortality, I should be prepared to lose my life at any time."
"…" Mo Tiange was speechless for a long time before she sighed. "You're really bold …" She really underestimated this Senior Martial Sister Wu before. No, it should be said that everyone underestimated her.
Speaking of which, she was Lord Daoist Miaoyi's disciple, so this kind of character wasn't strange. Although Lord Daoist Miaoyi looked gentle and amiable, her heart was actually very … sinister …
She recalled what Luo Fengxue once told her about Lord Daoist Miaoyi's past.
"If we're talking about scheming, among us seniors, there's no need to mention Martial Uncle Zhenyang — he's a crafty old fox. The other one is Martial Uncle Miaoyi," Luo Fengxue said with fervor and assurance.
Mo Tiange, who was only in the Foundation Building realm, was surprised. "Martial Uncle Miaoyi?
No way, right?
She's very amiable. "
"That's just on the surface!" Luo Fengxue stepped forward and said, "I'll tell you something, but you have to keep your mouth shut."
Mo Tiange nodded hurriedly. Luo Fengxue's gossip was usually about the sect's secrets, so there was no one else she could listen to.
Luo Fengxue asked, "What do you think of Martial Uncle Miaoyi's appearance?
What's her temperament like? "
Mo Tiange answered, "Although Martial Uncle Miaoyi's appearance isn't devastatingly beautiful, it's picturesque, elegant and refined.
As for her temperament, I've only seen her a few times, but I already feel she's quite amiable. She doesn't even get angry when her disciples do something wrong. "
"You're right. Martial Uncle Miaoyi is beautiful, has a good temperament, and is also a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Think about it — how many female cultivators are there among Nascent Soul cultivators?
Many male Nascent Soul cultivators have Core Formation cultivators as their Dual Cultivation companions!
How many people would fight over a Nascent Soul female cultivator like Martial Uncle Miaoyi! "
Mo Tiange nodded and said thoughtfully, "You're right, but Martial Uncle Miaoyi doesn't seem to have any peach blossoms!"
"Of course! Martial Uncle Miaoyi killed all her peach blossoms."
Mo Tiange asked curiously, "What happened?"
"I'll have to start from when Martial Uncle Miaoyi was still a Core Formation cultivator …" Luo Fengxue talked nonstop. "When Martial Uncle Miaoyi formed her Gold Core, she once discussed marriage with a male cultivator.
That male cultivator was a Core Formation cultivator from Gujian Sect. Reportedly, his aptitude was excellent, so he advanced to the Core Formation realm in about a hundred years. If there were no mishaps, he would definitely be able to form his Nascent Soul in 300 years.
Martial Uncle Miaoyi was also known as a genius, and the two of them were about the same age, so they were a perfect match. "
"In other words, the two of them were a perfect match!"
"Exactly! Back then, other people were envious of them!"
"What happened later?" Mo Tiange became even more curious. "Later on, did they become Dao companions?"
"Almost," Luo Fengxue said.
"The two of them had known each other for a hundred years and had deep feelings for each other, so they planned to become Dao companions before they formed their Nascent Souls. At that time, they could rely on the power of Dual Cultivation to advance to the Nascent Soul realm.
Just as they were about to finish preparing for their Dual Cultivation ceremony, Martial Uncle Miaoyi suddenly came back and said she wanted to cancel the wedding. "
Luo Fengxue smiled. "Do you know why?
As it turns out, that male cultivator has an outstanding cultivation level, a handsome appearance, and a carefree and uninhibited temperament, so he attracted a lot of peach blossoms.
Martial Uncle Miaoyi also knew about this, but she didn't know this male cultivator had an inseparable relationship with those peach blossoms and was secretly dating behind her back. "
Mo Tiange wrinkled her brows and said, "That being the case, why did he still want to become Dao companions with Martial Uncle Miaoyi?
Wouldn't it be more carefree to wander around by himself? "
"That's true, but where could he find a Dao companion like Martial Uncle Miaoyi?
She has outstanding aptitude, a beautiful appearance, a gentle temperament, and she also has Xuanqing School as her backer. She has no shortcomings at all! "
"Martial Uncle Miaoyi was kept in the dark?"
Luo Fengxue waved her hand. "How could that be possible?
Martial Uncle Miaoyi is very smart!
Besides, Martial Uncle Zhenyang and the others couldn't wait for Martial Uncle Miaoyi to not get married. Their sect cultivated such an outstanding disciple, so if she marries into another cultivation group, they'll get half of her Nascent Soul in the future! "
"In fact, Martial Uncle Miaoyi already knew about that male cultivator's romantic affairs. She just pretended not to know and even took the initiative to propose to become Dao companions.
That male cultivator couldn't wait to report to his master and prepare for the Dual Cultivation ceremony.
Then, Martial Uncle Miaoyi secretly spied on him. Right when he was making love with a peach blossom in his cave, Martial Uncle Miaoyi suddenly appeared.
How could he dare to tell others about this kind of thing, so she broke into his cave. "
"And then?" Mo Tiange listened with great interest.
Luo Fengxue continued: "Then, that male cultivator naturally wanted to clear his name, but Martial Uncle Miaoyi didn't say she already knew. She pretended she just found out and left very sadly. When she came back, she said she wanted to cancel the wedding.
That male cultivator naturally chased after her to explain, but Martial Uncle Miaoyi closed the door and refused to see him, so he could only go back dejectedly. "
"And then …" Luo Fengxue couldn't hold back her smile anymore. "Not long after that, Martial Uncle Zhenyang sent a message saying Martial Uncle Miaoyi almost committed suicide."
"…" Mo Tiange asked, "How did that person react?"
"Naturally, it was too late for regrets.
Martial Uncle Miaoyi also asked someone to tell him that she would cut all ties with him in the future and focus only on the Great Dao. In short, it made him feel that because of him, Martial Uncle Miaoyi lost interest in living and deeply hated men.
Although that person was a romantic, he sincerely loved Martial Uncle Miaoyi, so he was filled with endless regret.
Not long after that, Martial Uncle Miaoyi formed her Nascent Soul earlier than him and became famous, so the regret in his heart evolved into an Inner Demon. "
Luo Fengxue vented her anger. "At first, he only felt regret and regret about canceling the wedding. But later, when he saw Martial Uncle Miaoyi formed her Nascent Soul earlier than him, he kept thinking about forming his Nascent Soul. How could it be easy for someone to form their Nascent Soul with such an obsession?
His Inner Demon became deeper and deeper. "
"What happened to him later?"
"Later?
I haven't heard of him for a long time. He seems to still be in the Core Formation realm. "
Thinking about the past, Mo Tiange sighed inwardly. This pair of master and disciple … How trustworthy were their methods?
It seemed very simple, but it directly targeted the other person's temperament.
That male cultivator from Gujian Sect had the possibility of forming his Nascent Soul at such a young age, so he must've been very proud of himself. In the end, he lost to Martial Uncle Miaoyi. Moreover, Mo Tiange even betrayed her and almost caused her to lose her life. These two kinds of complicated emotions slowly evolved into Inner Demons.
As for Wu Feishuang, she chose the right time to treat Bai Yanfei this way.
Now, because of her, Bai Yanfei's temperament changed greatly. He no longer had the confidence to form his Nascent Soul, yet she still played such a trick on him. It would be strange if Bai Yanfei didn't have an Inner Demon!
However, these two men didn't have bad consciences. If they were truly heartless men, it would've been ineffective.
Wu Feishuang lowered her gaze. After a long time, she once again said softly, "I admittedly deliberately retaliated against him, but this was originally a flaw in his mental state. If he could break through his Inner Demon, he'd definitely be able to form his Nascent Soul, so I wouldn't feel sorry for him."
Mo Tiange stared at her then suddenly asked, "If Bai Yanfei really changed, would you forgive him?"
Wu Feishuang shook her head softly. "I've never blamed him. He's just … just hasn't grown up yet …"
Mo Tiange was silent. Originally, she thought if Bai Yanfei chose Jiang Min, the two of them would have a higher chance of developing feelings for each other. But now, it seemed Wu Feishuang was the most suitable for him.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Qin Xi's voice: "Come here quickly! There's an important matter!"
Qin Xi went to patrol just now. Could it be that he discovered something?
Mo Tiange hastily stood up, bid him farewell and returned to the Sect Head's main hall.
