When the five words “Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique” were spoken, Bai Qiulan trembled violently.
Lu Ye had always been someone whose expression wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, but at this moment, his face revealed shock and disbelief.
That kind of unbelievable, heartbroken gaze was like countless arrows, fiercely piercing into Bai Qiulan's soul and tearing through her hypocritical barrier.
Bai Qiulan was struck by lightning, her body shaking violently, and she retreated with a look of fear.
“No, it's not the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique, it's not the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique!”
Bai Qiulan said urgently.
The shock on Lu Ye's face turned into deep disappointment.
“You mean I investigated wrongly?” Lu Ye said disappointedly.
What level of cultivation and experience did Lu Ye have?
Since he had discovered it, how could he be mistaken?
“No!”
Bai Qiulan shook her head quickly.
Lu Ye was indeed impossible to be mistaken.
At this moment, Bai Qiulan was both too ashamed to face Lu Ye and her mind was racing at high speed.
She needed to think of a very good excuse to quickly quell this storm.
“Husband, it's not like that, this is indeed the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique, but I wasn't going to use it, Hongling begged me to use it!”
Lu Ye???
When he heard this, Lu Ye was shocked.
Shen Xitong's body also trembled.
“It's Hongling, Hongling's Daos of Fearlessness has already started to collapse, because when she was in the Chaotic Dojo, Yin Qingcheng injected the Primordial Morning Mist into Hongling's Great Dao, and Hongling brought the Primordial Morning Mist back.”
“It was too painful, not just physical pain, but also Hongling's heartache for you. In her previous life, she only knew that the Primordial Morning Mist would be very painful, but she never expected it to hurt to such an extent. The physical pain coupled with psychological pain caused Hongling to be nearly insane.”
“In a state of madness, let alone the Daos of Fearlessness, even cultivation itself was impossible.”
“What could I do?”
“I've already lost you, how could I lose Hongling again? I tried every possible way to make her sober up, but none had a very good effect.”
“Finally, I had no choice but to use the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique, to stimulate Hongling's consciousness through the pain generated by the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique. I originally thought that as long as Hongling sobered up, I would immediately withdraw this technique.”
“But Hongling really couldn't wake up, she was always in a dazed state. I had no choice, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) I could only complete the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique and guide Hongling's recovery through my consciousness. Husband, I couldn't help it, I really couldn't help it.”
“Using the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique on my own Disciple, my closest Disciple, don't I feel pain? I am more painful than Hongling!”
The more Bai Qiulan spoke, the more agitated she became, finally unable to help but burst into tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Lu Ye fell silent.
He fell into deep silence.
He felt that Bai Qiulan should become a diplomat, practicing alliance and diplomacy.
This smooth defense, whether it was her emotions, words, or expression, completely cleared her name.
The image of a good Master who was willing to bear the blame herself for the sake of her Disciple's recovery was vividly portrayed.
At this point, Lu Ye just wanted to say one word: “Impressive”!
“Is that truly the case?” Lu Ye's expression eased slightly.
“If you don't believe me, what can I do?” Bai Qiulan's tears flowed incessantly, heartbroken.
“How about letting Hongling speak?” Shen Xitong said.
Bai Qiulan's heart trembled.
At this moment, she desperately wanted to use the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique to influence Yue Hongling.
“You must not tell Lu Ye the truth, otherwise Lu Ye will definitely be disappointed in you and me, and then everything will be over!”
“As long as you cooperate with me, Lu Ye will forgive you and me, and then we will both return to Lu Ye's side.”
“Hongling, if you tell the truth, Lu Ye will definitely be angry, definitely be angry. He won't want me anymore, and he won't want you anymore!”
Lu Ye frowned, staring at Bai Qiulan, his eyes starting to turn cold.
“With me by your side, you still dare to use the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique?”
Bai Qiulan was still crying.
“Husband, what could I do? When I used the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique, Hongling was still in a state of madness. She didn't even know that I was doing it for her own good. She would only think that I was making her very painful. What could I do?”
“Husband, I really didn't want to, but I truly had no choice.”
Bai Qiulan was weeping and sobbing, tears streaming down her face.
Lu Ye reached out and swept his hand, using his divine sense to soothe the effects of the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique on Yue Hongling.
If he hadn't completed the cultivation of the Spirit Connection Realm, he probably wouldn't have had any way to deal with the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique.
At this moment, Yue Hongling's eyes became extremely clear.
She temporarily broke free from the influence of the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique, looked at Bai Qiulan, her eyes extremely complex.
Bai Qiulan's words were still echoing in her mind.
Did she really want to tell the truth?
After telling it, the two closest Master and Disciple would ultimately become this disgusting appearance.
Wouldn't Senior Brother be disappointed in her?
Senior Brother not forgiving them was itself a trial for them.
If the trial was successful and both of them became better, they could naturally return to Senior Brother's embrace.
But what has the trial become now?
Master and Disciple turning against each other.
Hating each other more than enemies.
What kind of trial is this considered?
“Junior Sister, you speak, is what Master said true or false?” Lu Ye said.
Yue Hongling's body trembled slightly.
Senior Brother was about to forgive her.
Did she really want to deceive Senior Brother?
If she didn't deceive Senior Brother, Senior Brother would definitely be disappointed in them.
If she deceived Senior Brother, would everything Bai Qiulan did to her just pass by like that?
The first thing Senior Brother asked her after just forgiving her was to deceive him?
Yue Hongling's heart was struggling fiercely.
Finally, she let out a gentle sigh.
“Senior Brother, I was indeed tormented by the Primordial Morning Mist and fell into a state of madness. When Master used the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique on me, I didn't have a very clear memory, but after the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique was performed, I did indeed break free from the state of madness.”
Hearing this, Bai Qiulan was ecstatic.
Hongling, you have finally grown up. This is the right way to speak.
All the previous conflicts between us Master and Disciple, as long as we return to Lu Ye's side, what do they matter?
When no one is around, even if you retaliate against me, as long as I can return to Husband's side, she wouldn't say no!
Lu Ye listened to Yue Hongling's words, his eyes difficult to read.
“So, you mean, Master using the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique on you was truly for your own good?” Lu Ye confirmed.
Yue Hongling's expression changed.
Finally, she bit her lip and nodded gently.
“Yes!”
“Since my rebirth, Master has been extremely good to me. If not, I wouldn't have used the 《Charming Girl Extreme Yin Scripture》 to help her melt the Chaotic Yin Poison. Senior Brother, we have no ill intentions towards you. We already know our mistakes from the previous life. We are at fault, and we will not push the blame onto anyone else. We are truly wrong.”
At this moment, Yue Hongling's mind was extremely clear.
Yue Hongling knew that Lu Ye hated it the most when she constantly shifted the blame onto others.
Although Yue Hongling still felt that a large part of the reason they poisoned Lu Ye was due to Yin Qingcheng's instigation, she couldn't say it now.
Now, their attitude of admitting their mistake must be particularly sincere!
Bai Qiulan completely relaxed when she heard Yue Hongling's words.
Good! Good! Good!
“Hongling, it was Master who let you down, letting you suffer so much hardship. From now on, Master will definitely compensate you well.”
Bai Qiulan said sincerely.
Lu Ye nodded.
He let out a soft sigh.
He didn't speak, but instead helped Yue Hongling heal her injuries and destroy the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique.
Completing these tasks was quick for Lu Ye.
Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan both felt that this time they were stable.
Lu Ye finally spoke.
“I forgive you, yet I never expected that the first thing you would do to me is deceive me.”
When these words were spoken, Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling's faces changed drastically.
What... what does that mean?
