Chapter 35 - Bai Lian's True Intention

Chapter 35 Bai Lian’s True Intention

Watching the angry Shen Xiangling leave, Bai Lian suddenly felt that she was a hidden master that was good at mending broken hearts. The Holy Maiden, who was about to be completely broken, actually became spirited again under her crooked logic.

She clenched her fists.

Could it be that she, a “natural saint”, didn’t have cultivation aptitude, but was a saintly Dao educator?

“How impressive!”

Bai Lian began to consider whether she should start a class and teach people to break through their mental demons. However, after having seen Xiao Jinse’s dark bedroom, she immediately dispelled this thought.

She didn’t know when her nightmare would completely end. Where would she find the energy to teach others?

Bai Lian played with Jade Rabbit’s soft ears until it was trembling and panting before letting go.

“Not bad. Eat slowly. I’ll go meditate first.”

The little rabbit smiled foolishly.

It realized that its decision to rely on Bai Lian was too right!

Not only did it solve the problem of hunger, but it could also enjoy high-level spiritual herbs like the Thunder Sprout.

What was even more impressive was that it was now Bai Lian’s spiritual pet in name.

Who was Bai Lian?

That was the eldest senior sister of the Immortal Du Sect, an 18-year-old Nascent Soul expert, a natural saint rarely seen in a thousand years!

It didn’t dare to say anything else, but at least no one near the Immortal Du Sect dared to bully it anymore.

“Who dares to bully me? I’ll let Senior Sister Bai beat you to death, you blind thing!”

This time, it was a rabbit pretending to be mighty!

It happily began to digest the Thunder Sprout that it had just eaten.

Life was so comfortable!

The night wind blew.

The elders in the main hall of Yun Luo Peak looked at each other.

They were still thinking about how to solve the problem, but Bai Lian and Shen Xiangling were already done?

So fast!

Looking at Shen Xiangling’s energetic eyes, Jue Yunzi was shocked.

He heaved another sigh of relief. It was good that her broken heart had been mended!

Yan Yue, who had just rushed over, muttered, “I knew Bai Lian wasn’t the kind of child who would deliberately humiliate others. Seeing this scene, I finally understand her true intentions.”

TI?!

What did this mean?

Gao Yi and the others looked at Yan Yue in confusion.

These expectant gazes made Yan Yue feel smug.

These people were really ignorant!!!

She smiled and said, “Didn’t my disciple, Wenren Ya, have a misunderstanding with Bai Lian previously? From then on, I knew that Bai Lian was a person with great wisdom. I guess she must have long seen through that the Holy Maiden was trapped by the mental demon, so she deliberately got her spiritual pet to fight for her!”

“I understand!” An elder suddenly shouted. “Bai Lian definitely wants to use this opportunity to help Shen Xiangling get rid of her mental demons. Look, when Shen Xiangling left Qiong Ming Peak, she had clearly crossed a hurdle in her heart.”

That made sense.

The others nodded.

Yan Yue continued, “But although the outcome is good, this behavior is still too risky. What if she failed to persuade the Holy Maiden…”

“Eh.”

Jue Yunzi shook his head.

“You can’t say that. After all, Bai Lian is still young. It’s not a bad thing for young people to be impulsive. If they really reach our age, they won’t have the interest to be impulsive anymore. Moreover, that’s a natural saint. Who says that Bai Lian doesn’t have the ability to see through people’s hearts and turn misfortune into luck?”

That made sense!

Yan Yue was convinced.

How did such a genius become the disciple of that disdainful woman, An Lan?

What a pity that the other party was one step ahead and had already taken Bai Lian in as her disciple.

Then, the higher-ups of the Immortal Du Sect gathered and began to discuss the matter of the top sects of the East Divine Continent hiding Bai Lian’s true aptitude.

The news that Bai Lian was a natural saint had spread very widely, but there weren’t really a lot of people who genuinely believed it.

It was mainly because the Jade Pool Sacred Mountain had sent someone to the Immortal Du Sect a year ago. That holy envoy’s evaluation was “not bad”.

“Fortunately, Bai Lian’s Holy Body had yet to awaken at that time and didn’t show any Dao runes.”

Jue Yunzi felt glad.

Otherwise, the Immortal Du Sect would miss the opportunity to rise.

The next day.

On Qiong Ming Peak, the light was shining brightly.

Xiao Jinse, who had already recovered, stood in front of Bai Lian like a sharp sword.

Bai Lian said calmly, “Don’t be arrogant when you win, don’t be discouraged when you lose!”

Xiao Jinse nodded hard.

After hearing Senior Sister Bai’s words last night, how could she not use her full strength today!

She felt that she was only a step away from the seventh level of Qi Refinement. Today’s competition was an opportunity.

As soon as she arrived at the competition square, Bai Lian realized that Shen Xiangling had long been waiting there with the disciples of the Azure Sect.

As soon as the two of them met, Shen Xiangling turned her head away angrily.

Chen Lu, the senior sister of Yun Luo Peak beside her, tried to ask, “Holy Maiden, you seem to have something against Senior Sister Bai?”

“It’s more than just something” Shen Xiangling gritted her teeth and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let the competition begin as soon as possible!”

Chen Lu nodded and fell into deep thought.

Just as nine o’clock arrived, the competition between the new disciples of the Immortal Du Sect and the Azure Sect began.

Bai Lian was no longer nervous.

She was more concerned about the conversation of the onlookers.

“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Gong Juren to be so heroic. He single-handedly defeated the Demon Sect that had been wreaking havoc. My family also suffered the calamity of the Demon Sect. I really hope that I can become a hero like Senior Brother Gong one day!”

“Senior Sister Yulan isn’t an ordinary person either. She once occupied the top of the Green Flower Ranking for two years!”

“And Senior Brother Hu…”

Bai Lian was deeply gratified.

Tong Yao acted faithfully according to her suggestion, and her efficiency was terrifyingly high. As time passed, the number of people who placed their attention on her would gradually decrease.

This plan was brilliant!

She was just about to watch Xiao Jinse’s competition when suddenly, someone in the crowd sighed and said, “Although Senior Brother Gong is powerful, he’s still a little inferior to Senior Sister Bai!”

“You’re wrong. Who’s Senior Sister Bai? She’s a saint. How can mortals like us be compared to a saint?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Bai Lian turned around stiffly. She could tell at a glance that one of them was Tong Yao’s subordinate!

She…

Her face was almost green.

Those newbies who didn’t know the truth had serious expressions after hearing the subordinate’s words. Clearly, they agreed with what the other party said.

Senior Sister Bai?

At this moment, those newbies felt that it was simply too much to compare Senior Sister Bai to others?

They might as well stop talking about her!

“Let’s talk about Senior Brother Hu.”

Bai Lian finally understood why Tong Yao was so excited after hearing her suggestion.

She sure dialed up the intensity.

Bai Lian felt that her butt was about to swell.

Stop it, bastard!

Fortunately, the change in the arena made those newbies stop talking. Only then did Bai Lian heave a sigh of relief.

The newbie of the Azure Sect, Ximen Quexue, indeed had the strength to be proud.

He won consecutively and easily flipped his opponent off the arena, hitting the gamblers among the newbies until they foamed at the mouth and their limbs twitched.

“It’s over, it’s over. Only Xiao Jinse is left.”

Hmph!

Shen Xiangling glanced at Bai Lian provocatively, but Bai Lian decisively ignored her.

What Holy Maiden? She didn’t have time to care about her now.

“The competition begins!”

Xiao Jinse and Ximen Quexue looked at each other from afar. After accumulating strength, Ximen Quexue was the first to attack.

This battle was extremely difficult.

After all, Xiao Jinse’s cultivation was lower than Ximen Quexue’s. Even if her willpower was firm, she quickly fell into a disadvantage.

If not for her protagonist halo erupting at the limit and successfully breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement, the competition would definitely have been one-sided.

“This is a perk of a protagonist from a feel-good novel-breakthrough at the last minute!”

Bai Lian thought pitifully.

However, to her surprise, Xiao Jinse’s victory was much more difficult than in the game plot. The injuries on her body were far more tragic than in the game CG.

Bai Lian thought of the mission option yesterday.

If she chose to encourage Xiao Jinse, even if the smug Xiao Jinse could defeat Fan Ren, she would still lose miserably to Ximen Quexue. She might even be stabbed to death by an accident.

No wonder the mission reward was a low-grade spiritual weapon. If the protagonist died because of her, she might end up getting struck by lightning.

It was all the world’s fault!

“No way.”

Bai Lian estimated that Xiao Jinse would be crippled by her if this continued. Xiao Jinse really couldn’t be spoiled!

She began to think of countermeasures.

At this moment, the area around the arena was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Xiao Jinse actually won?

Even Tong Yao, who worshiped Bai Lian as a god, didn’t expect this.

The newbie who had bet on Ximen Quexue and prepared to earn some money fell to the ground. His entire body twitched, and his eyes rolled up, as if he had been completely destroyed.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”

“The winner, Xiao Jinse!”

Shouts instantly sounded like a tsunami in Yun Luo Peak Square.

“As expected of Senior Sister Bai’s junior sister!”

“I’m stunned!”

“Isn’t the difference in aptitude scary? The scary thing is that I don’t have Senior Sister Bai to guide me!”

Many people had yet to recover. Amidst the praise and disbelief, Xiao Jinse staggered in front of Bai Lian. A smile appeared on her face. “Senior Sister Bai, I didn’t embarrass you.”

She did it!

She was very tired, but when she saw Senior Sister Bai’s face, strength surged in her heart again.

Bai Lian supported her and gently touched her head. She sighed and said, “Yeah, rest well today.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Jinse let out a cry and her eyes darkened. She buried her face in Bai Lian’s chest and clearly fainted.

Bai Lian gently supported Xiao Jinse’s body and returned to Qiong Ming Peak through the crowd.

She had already noticed Shen Xiangling’s resentful gaze, but what really bothered her was that not long ago, she had received a jade slip message from the sect master. The sect master had asked her to send Shen Xiangling and the others back to the Azure Sect on behalf of the Immortal Du Sect.

“Why is it always me?”

Bai Lian wanted to slam a table.

Glancing at her junior sister who was sleeping soundly on the bed, she sighed. If this was a normal game world, she would be so happy.

When she left, Bai Lian gently closed the door.

She only hoped that there would be fewer accidents on the way. “Bunny, let’s go!”
