Why would Yue Hongling think that if she revealed the truth at all costs, Lu Ye would blame her along with Bai Qiulan?
Clearly, in the matter of Bai Qiulan using the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique on her, she had no fault whatsoever; everything was Bai Qiulan's fault.
But if she really said it, would it be like this?
If she were to, in front of Lu Ye, pour out everything about how Bai Qiulan abused her, how hypocritical she was, and how vicious she was.
What would Bai Qiulan's reaction be?
She would feel utterly humiliated, followed by hysteria; she would bite at Yue Hongling like a madwoman.
By then, the two would definitely engage in a grand scene of tearing each other apart.
With Lu Ye just watching the two tear each other apart like this, what would his state of mind be?
Yue Hongling already understood Bai Qiulan very well.
Her hatred for Bai Qiulan would definitely lead to revenge, but absolutely not now.
This was why she lied.
She wanted dignity.
She knew that what Lu Ye wanted was also dignity.
"Senior Brother, what deception are you talking about? How did I deceive you?" Yue Hongling asked, her face changing drastically.
"Husband, there's no deception. Hongling and I have always been in the same boat. Although there might be some minor disagreements, they are definitely not major conflicts."
Both of them quickly explained.
Lu Ye's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Shen Xitong spoke at this moment.
"Former Wife Yue, Venerable Master Bai, there's no need to rush to explain. Let me speak, and you can see if what I say is correct."
The address changed from 'two Sisters' back to 'Former Wife Yue' and 'Venerable Master Bai'.
"First, although the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique is very difficult to perform and is extremely prone to failure if there is resistance, once successful, it is very easy for the caster to dispel it. Why haven't you dispelled it?" Shen Xitong asked.
Bai Qiulan took a deep breath, her gaze becoming sharp.
This was the confrontation between her and Shen Xitong.
"Although the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique is an evil technique, Hongling's Daos of Fearlessness are weakening day by day. I guided her cultivation of the Great Dao through the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique. What's wrong with that?"
"Then what are the Daos of Fearlessness? How did you guide her?" Shen Xitong asked again.
"The Daos of Fearlessness are about being fearless and unafraid. I needed to change Yue Hongling's fearful mindset and make her fearless and unafraid. Wasn't that helping her cultivate?"
"Where is the key to the Daos of Fearlessness?"
Bai Qiulan...
"I am not cultivating the Daos of Fearlessness; I was just providing appropriate guidance."
"Then what about Former Wife Yue's 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》?"
Bai Qiulan's face changed drastically.
"《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》... 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》... It's because, it's because Yue Hongling felt that her Daos ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ of Fearlessness were about to collapse, so she was disheartened and unwilling to cultivate the 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》 anymore..."
"Master!"
Yue Hongling's voice suddenly rose.
Her face was very red, and she was extremely anxious. She said the wrong thing, she said the wrong thing!
Shen Xitong, however, chuckled softly.
"Venerable Master Bai, have you seen the content of the 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》?"
Bai Qiulan was silent for a moment.
"Never..."
"Then do you know that the 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》 itself strengthens the Daos of Fearlessness? Myriad aeons rebel, yet the heart does not rebel; myriad aeons are in chaos, yet the Dao does not falter. The weaker the Daos of Fearlessness are, the more urgently Former Wife Yue will cultivate the 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》."
"When you asked Former Wife Yue to give up the 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》, didn't Former Wife Yue tell you?"
A hint of confusion appeared in Bai Qiulan's eyes.
"Or perhaps, you didn't even ask Former Wife Yue if she was willing to give up the 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》, but instead directly made her give up cultivating the 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》!"
"This is your appropriate guidance?"
Shen Xitong's eyes held a cold smile, her height of 1.7 meters erupting with an aura of ten thousand meters at this moment!
In Bai Qiulan's eyes, at this moment, besides confusion, there was also a hint of despair.
She...
She never expected that having Yue Hongling give up cultivating the 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》 would become her fatal blow at this moment.
"Your appropriate guidance is to make Yue Hongling's internal energy completely chaotic?"
"Your appropriate guidance is to make Yue Hongling's physical body's vital energy decline?"
"Your appropriate guidance is to directly make Yue Hongling switch to the cultivation method that Brother specifically found for her?"
"Your appropriate guidance is to sever Yue Hongling's Great Dao, and from now on, become a vessel for your Bai Qiulan alone to hold Chaotic Yin Poison, this is your appropriate guidance!"
"Bai Qiulan, you are truly a hypocritical person!"
Hearing this, Bai Qiulan retreated repeatedly.
Unsteady, she even sat directly on the ground.
"No, no, no... It's not like that..."
Shen Xitong's gaze fell upon Yue Hongling.
"I'm very curious, Former Wife Yue, the 《Charming Girl Extreme Yin Scripture》 I gave you, as long as you support each other, you absorb some Chaotic Yin Poison, and Venerable Master Bai also absorbs a little Chaotic Yin Poison, you can clearly last for a very long time, even until the Sixth Heaven without any problem. How did it collapse so quickly?" Shen Xitong asked.
Yue Hongling did not expect that she, who thought she was enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden, by showing a harmonious relationship with her Master, could make Lu Ye feel at ease, make Lu Ye successfully forgive them, and accept them.
And now, just as she was about to speak.
Shen Xitong directly waved her hand.
"Alright, Former Wife Yue, no one has ever told you before, but I'm telling you now, when you lie, your eyes always flicker, and your expression changes frequently. Even a normal person would know you are lying, the kind that doesn't even require thinking. Are you sure you want to continue lying?"
Yue Hongling's body froze.
"Is that so?"
Yue Hongling looked at Lu Ye, not knowing what she was expecting.
And Lu Ye nodded gently.
That's right.
Yue Hongling started laughing, from a low laugh to a hearty laugh.
Her laughter became frantic, becoming hysterical.
"Can you blame me for this? Can this matter be blamed on me?"
"Bai Qiulan, every time I circulated the 《Charming Girl Extreme Yin Scripture》, she would frantically pour Chaotic Yin Poison into my body, frantically pouring it in. She didn't even want to bear a little pain; she gave all the pain to others."
"As long as I had a single complaint, it meant I was disloyal and unfilial. She always liked to weave a net in the name of love and trap me firmly."
"If I couldn't bear it, it became my fault. She was never wrong at all!"
"Finally, I went crazy. After I went crazy, how did Bai Qiulan act?"
"She guided me to use the 《Charming Girl Extreme Yin Scripture》 even more frantically, even more recklessly. Even in a state of madness, I could still feel that excruciating pain that words cannot describe!"
"She used the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique on me, she influenced me, making me her most loyal servant, making me a vessel for her to hold Chaotic Yin Poison!"
"She even made me abandon the 《Myriad Aeon Rebellion Scripture》, making me completely her human puppet, making me a part of her!"
"Even like this, she still claimed every day that she was doing it for my own good!"
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
"Bai Qiulan, you are someone who is hypocritical to the extreme, selfish to the extreme, someone who should be spurned by all living beings in the Nine Heavens. Even the most vicious evil cultivators in the world are not as vicious as you!"
"Bai Qiulan!"
"Bai Qiulan!"
