Fine, let's try...
The Ascension Pool rippled.
Lu Ye and Shen Xitong watched the Ascension Pool.
As ripples spread layer by layer, two figures appeared in the Ascension Pool.
Bai Qiulan let out a breath of relief.
Bringing Yue Hongling up to ascension was truly difficult.
Their lightning tribulations superimposed, their power was definitely not one plus one equals two.
She couldn't help but feel some emotion; she had seen how easily Lu Ye brought people through Crossing Tribulation before, even when Shangguan Huanling crossed her Emperor Tribulation, Lu Ye had helped her bear it.
So, bringing someone through Crossing Tribulation was this difficult.
Then, her gaze fell upon Lu Ye and Shen Xitong; at that moment, Bai Qiulan subconsciously felt a surge of joy.
Because only Bai Qiulan knew how miserable her life had been after leaving Lu Ye.
It turned out that with Lu Ye around, no matter where you went, everyone would give you a warm welcome, and anyone would treat you kindly.
Because everyone knew that Lu Ye was the Guardian Great Dao, and the most important thing for the Guardian Great Dao was his Dao Companion.
You could be boastful towards Lu Ye, you could jump up and down around Lu Ye.
But if you were boastful towards Lu Ye's Dao Companion, or jumped up and down around them, if Lu Ye didn't beat the living daylights out of you, it would mean you digested it cleanly.
Towards Lu Ye, many people could play little tricks, after all, Lu Ye was a righteous person.
But towards the eight Dao Companions, even a little disrespect was truly unacceptable.
And now?
She was like duckweed in water, or weeds in the wind.
No one would put her in their eyes, all the difficulties and problems she encountered had to be solved by herself.
Just taking spirit stones as an example, she had to earn spirit stones herself; without spirit stones, you could truly say it was difficult to move an inch in the cultivation world; to put it harshly, even if your Dharma robe was torn, you couldn't buy clothes without spirit stones.
Thus, upon seeing Lu Ye again, how could she not be joyful?
But in that instant of joy, Bai Qiulan was startled and alarmed, subconsciously shielding Yue Hongling behind her.
"Lu Ye, what do you want to do?" Bai Qiulan looked at Lu Ye and asked.
Lu Ye didn't speak, Shen Xitong smiled brightly.
When she smiled, it was as if Heaven and Earth lost their color.
"Congratulations to the two Sisters on your ascension, you have already experienced the hardships of the Third Heaven; now I'm sure the two Sisters already know your mistakes, Husband is already prepared to forgive the two Sisters, the two Sisters must treat your younger Sister well, from now on, we are one family serving Husband together," Shen Xitong said happily.
When these words were spoken, Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling, whose expression was somewhat conflicted, were both stunned.
Wh- What does that mean?
Lu Ye is willing to forgive them?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
If Lu Ye were to forgive them, would he kill Vermillion Bird? Would he kill Jiang Die, kill Chu Ling?
"Impossible!"
Bai Qiulan didn't believe it at all.
"Bai Jiejie, what's impossible about this?" Shen Xitong asked with an innocent look.
"You mean to say that Lu Ye treating us like this, from beginning to end, was a punishment for us, wanting us to suddenly wake up?" Bai Qiulan asked.
"Of course, if not for that, why would Lu Ye stay in the Great Dao Sect? Why didn't he directly kill Chu Ling and Yue Hongling and escape when he was just reborn?"
A light appeared in Yue Hongling's eyes.
Bai Qiulan felt something was wrong, a hundred things were wrong, but she couldn't deny that she was truly tempted.
If Lu Ye were to forgive her, from now on, she would no longer have to suffer the invasion of the Chaotic Yin Poison, and she wouldn't have to control Yue Hongling; she could live openly and honestly, no longer having to live in fear.
Even, even if people said it was an immoral Master-Disciple relationship, what then?
But, would Lu Ye really forgive her?
Bai Qiulan's gaze looked at Lu Ye, "Husband, is what she said true or false?"
Lu Ye, relying solely on his gaze, didn't see anything abnormal on Yue Hongling for the time being.
Hearing Bai Qiulan's question, Lu Ye sighed.
Forget it, then he would play along with Shen Xitong for a bit.
If he were to directly take action and investigate Yue Hongling's situation, finding out the truth would certainly be a major blow to Bai Qiulan, but what then?
If Bai Qiulan had truly used the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique, she would have completely lost all sense of shame.
Kill Yue Hongling?
There was no need; as long as she didn't provoke Lu Ye, Lu Ye wouldn't kill people, because the Lu Ye of the previous life also had faults.
He could help Yue Hongling break free from the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique, but it was now obvious that Bai Qiulan's strength already far surpassed Yue Hongling's.
Even if he helped Yue Hongling remove the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique, after she left Lu Ye's sight, she would definitely be recaptured by Bai Qiulan, who was driven mad by the Chaotic Yin Poison.
The best method was for him to help Yue Hongling.
Thus, Lu Ye gently nodded.
"What she said is true, Master, do you know your mistake?" Lu Ye asked.
Hearing these words, Bai Qiulan's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but step back.
Her chest heaved violently at this moment, like surging waves.
She understood Lu Ye; Lu Ye wouldn't lie about such things.
Hmm, at least not in the previous life; in the previous life, there were also people who angered Lu Ye, but when Lu Ye said he forgave them, he truly forgave them.
He was talking about Chu Ling!
Bai Qiulan was very flustered.
If she had known that the hardships of the first Third Heaven were all Lu Ye's punishment for them, hoping they would recognize their mistakes, admit them, and correct them, she definitely wouldn't have used the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique on Yue Hongling.
Yue Hongling was her Disciple.
Using such a vicious technique on Yue Hongling, wouldn't her heart ache?
But she had already used it.
She had already given up hope for Lu Ye's forgiveness.
Now Lu Ye had actually forgiven her.
Did she know her mistake?
If she just said she knew her mistake now, she would become Lu Ye's woman again.
Once again being brought to the highest peak by Lu Ye.
Even the kind that was higher than before.
If she still didn't know her mistake now, would Lu Ye still give her a chance?
This excellent opportunity, she must seize it.
The Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique was incredibly hidden; without Lu Ye knowing, he shouldn't actively investigate the matter of the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique.
"Hongling, if you don't want to cause any more trouble, you absolutely must not tell Lu Ye about the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique, do you understand?" Bai Qiulan informed Yue Hongling through her consciousness.
Yue Hongling was already overwhelmed by immense joy at this moment.
Senior Brother has forgiven her!
Senior Brother has finally forgiven her!
Wu wuwu...
Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Senior Brother!
From now on, she would never think about Feng Wuxie again; she only wanted Senior Brother, she would never be self-righteous again.
Yue Hongling started crying.
Tears also appeared in Bai Qiulan's eyes.
"Husband, I # Nะพvะตlight # know my mistake!"
Bai Qiulan said, crying.
"Senior Brother, I also know my mistake, I truly know my mistake!"
Yue Hongling's personality was lively; at this moment, she rushed towards Lu Ye recklessly, opening her arms.
Towards this, although Lu Ye wanted to frown tightly, he was also prepared to hold his nose and accept it.
Forget it, it was just a hug.
Shen Xitong was happily watching this big show, but when she saw Yue Hongling opening her arms and rushing towards Lu Ye, her brows suddenly furrowed.
Forgiveness means hugging?
