Meanwhile, at the Qingxuan Sect.
"Finally!"
"I'm finally back at the sect!"
Standing on her flying sword, Lin Qingxue felt completely numb as she spotted the faintly visible mountain gate of the Qingxuan Sect in the distance.
The founding ancestor from countless generations ago who established the Qingxuan Sect must have been an absolute idiot.
Of all the places to build the mountain gate, he just had to choose these godforsaken Hundred Thousand Mountains.
It was in the middle of nowhere.
There wasn't even a teleportation array; she had to fly the whole way!
Regardless, she was finally home.
"I should head back to the peak first and say hi to Eldest Senior Brother and my senior sisters." A wave of warmth swelled in Lin Qingxue's heart as she thought of her gentle, jade-like Eldest Senior Brother who always took such good care of them.
She hadn't seen them for a month. She wondered how they were doing.
In her past life, she had been too foolish.
In this life, she would definitely protect the Qingxuan Sect and keep everyone from harm!
With this thought, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but speed up.
Zixiao Peak, one of the seventy-two peaks of the Qingxuan Sect.
As soon as she reached the mountain, she saw her senior brother and several senior sisters sitting around a stone table on a flat clearing halfway up Zixiao Peak, staring intently at a recording stone.
"Hey! I'm back!"
"What good stuff are you guys looking at?"
Lin Qingxue waved and stepped forward, leaning in to take a look.
Instantly, she broke out in a heavy sweat!
Dense cold sweat immediately covered her entire body, and the smile froze on her face.
Displayed on the recording stone was shockingly the scene of Feng Mengli hunting down Ye Shu.
"Oh? Junior Sister is back?"
Just then, her senior sisters looked up and happened to see Lin Qingxue's frozen expression.
"Junior Sister, why is your face so pale?"
"N... nothing..."
Lin Qingxue forced a stiff smile, but her mind was a complete mess.
Why?
Why did her senior brother and sisters have this recording stone?!
"Senior Brother, where did you guys get this?"
"Huh?"
Su Xiao finally looked up, recovering from his shock.
Son of a bitch, you really can see anything if you wake up early enough.
To think that the female lead chasing the male lead with a sword would actually happen. However, this had nothing to do with him, a villain who was honestly following the original plot. Since he wasn't part of Feng Mengli's storyline here, he just needed to stick to his own script.
So, Su Xiao replied, "A disciple at the foot of the mountain gave it to me. He said it's gone viral outside. They're selling for one spirit stone each, but he bought the exclusive authentic version for thirty spirit stones."
"G... gone viral?"
Lin Qingxue was completely dumbfounded.
So, as the person involved, she was actually the last to know?
Wait!
She suddenly snatched the recording stone like a madwoman and scrutinized it from top to bottom, inside and out. Only after confirming that it merely showed a glimpse of the hem of her skirt did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"My face isn't shown?"
"Thank goodness, I haven't been exposed yet."
In her heart, Lin Qingxue first felt relieved, then angry, and finally, an inexplicable sense of being moved.
That bastard...
He clearly could have released the recording of her as well, leaving her to face public condemnation just like Feng Mengli. Yet, he deliberately only released Feng Mengli's and even warned her in advance not to do anything bad.
He obviously... could have threatened Feng Mengli too, right?
But he didn't.
In this recording, he had even thoughtfully hidden her face.
She had been too agitated just now.
Calming down to think about it.
Lin Qingxue suddenly realized that, at least in this video, she actually seemed to be portrayed in a positive light.
This was too absurd.
She and Feng Mengli were exactly the same.
Both wanted to kill him.
Yet she ended up as the good guy?
Meanwhile, Lin Qingxue's senior sisters had begun a heated discussion about the recording!
"Everyone outside is saying the Yunxiao Sect Master is evil."
"Actually, I don't think so."
"I think Sect Master Feng might have just seen through that guy's true colors. Otherwise, with no prior enmity, why would she attack him for no reason?"
"Second Senior Sister makes sense."
"I've heard about it too."
"According to the Yunxiao Sect, Sect Master Feng went to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to seek an opportunity to break through to the Soul Formation realm. She ended up fighting the Amethyst Lion King, and when both were severely injured, that guy named Ye Shu tried to take advantage of her and steal her treasures."
"That's why Sect Master Feng tried to kill him!"
The senior sisters chattered away, all feeling a sense of mutual understanding in each other's eyes.
In their past lives, they had all been deceived by that guy.
The sect was destroyed, and their bodies and hearts were played with.
Meanwhile, that guy just dusted off his hands and ascended to the upper realm, leaving them all alone in this world.
In this life, they would absolutely not be fooled!
Everyone sympathized with that guy.
Only they knew the truth.
What the Yunxiao Sect said was true!
In their previous life, Feng Mengli had said that the guy really did take advantage of her peril, drugged her, and stole her innocence!
"One look and you can tell that guy is no good!"
"Senior Sister is right."
Just as the three sisters shared a bitter hatred for their common enemy.
A small hand weakly raised into the air.
"But... I think he's quite innocent," Lin Qingxue said, shrinking her neck back in slight fear, yet speaking with unwavering firmness.
As soon as she said this, the entire place fell silent.
The senior sisters all looked at her with bizarre expressions.
"Junior Sister, you're still young. You can't judge people just by their surface..."
"But he really is innocent!"
"It was Feng Mengli who tried to kill him without distinguishing right from wrong."
"It's crystal clear on the recording stone, and she admitted it herself. If it really was as the Yunxiao Sect claimed, why would she say 'three nevers'?"
Seeing her senior sisters still acting stubborn, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but retort.
For a moment, the senior sisters were left speechless.
"Junior Sister, you're... speaking up for him?"
After a long while, Eldest Senior Sister finally managed to speak.
She suddenly remembered that their junior sister was the first to meet that heartless scumbag, even secretly pledging her life to him in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Looking at it now, it seemed their junior sister had long since fallen for him.
"I'm not speaking up for him!" Lin Qingxue quickly denied. "I'm just stating the facts."
"Then why are you blushing?"
"I am not!"
Lin Qingxue hastily denied it, wiping her cheeks with her hands, only to realize her face was burning hot.
"I'm just anxious! Anxious!"
"But why are you anxious for him?" the senior sisters said, heartbroken. "Junior Sister, do you know that guy is no good? In the future... in the future..."
Halfway through, they glanced at Su Xiao, who was standing to the side.
They ultimately didn't finish their sentence.
Hearing this, Lin Qingxue froze.
Although her senior sisters didn't say it aloud, she understood. They wanted to say that the heartless scumbag killed their senior brother and caused the destruction of the Qingxuan Sect.
Just as she thought, her senior sisters had also been reborn.
"But he is innocent... At least in this matter, he is innocent..." Lin Qingxue still muttered in a low voice, though her tone was no longer as firm as before.
The fact that the heartless scumbag caused the sect's destruction.
It was ultimately a thorn in her heart.
"Junior Sister, you're still speaking up for him." The three senior sisters shook their heads, their eyes full of disappointment.
"I'm not, I just think..."
Lin Qingxue was about to say something, but stopped herself.
She suddenly realized that the gazes of her senior sisters were frighteningly unfamiliar. Over a decade of sisterhood, yet it had all come to this simply because she spoke up for an outsider?
So tired.
Truly tired.
Her heart felt utterly exhausted.
Lin Qingxue turned around and walked toward her room.
"Forget it. Think whatever you want."
"I will only say this: at least in this matter, Ye Shu is innocent. Feng Mengli wanted to kill him for absolutely no reason, just like all of you right now."
The three senior sisters watched her retreating figure in complex silence.
Between them as martial sisters, a thick and sorrowful barrier had already been erected.
