Book 11: Chapter 5 (2)
Ying Shi was waiting for Xiao Jinse's response.
She knew her words were a bit frightening, and Xiao Jinse needed to take some time to slowly digest them.
It doesn't matter. She can afford to wait.
Xiao Jinse was indeed shaken up.
The Saintess wants to join the Qiongming Peak. Did she hear it correctly?
Absolutely not!
The Qiongming Peak has already been filled with all of them!
If another new person joins in at this moment, the Qiongming Peak definitely won't be able to handle it!
Xiao Jinse saw a horrifying image flash before her eyes.
[The harmony in the has gone. The Saintess faced four of them at the same time, setting off a bloodbath. The mountains crumbled and the river reversed, and in the end, the person who laughed to the end was not her or Su Youwei, but the Saintess!]
For no other reason, only because Ying Shi is strong enough!
Her cultivation base has already broken through to the peak of the Soul Changing Stage.
Xiao Jinse cannot find any strategies to turn defeat into victory.
Why?
Sob.
Yes.
It must be because she hasn't grown up yet!
She is only seventeen years old, she is still just a child, and the room for growth for a child is very large!
Xiao Jinse had a stern look on her face, "Please stay here, I will go inform Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian right away."
"Thank you."
Ying Shi smiled and nodded.
Xiao Jinse soon disappeared from Ying Shi's sight.
She wanted to air-dry Ying Shi directly here.
But thinking carefully will reveal that this method is not reliable.
It would be easy for Ying Shi to meet Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian due to her status at Yaochi Holy Mountain. If she does this, she will only bring an enemy to herself for no reason.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian often says, "Cultivation starts with the renewal of one's heart, and those who practice it should value harmony!"
Xiao Jinse thinks Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is right!
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian also told her to use her brain more, brute force can solve most problems but it is still very tiring.
She decided to be honest with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is a wise person, and she can easily see the disadvantages of taking in Ying Shi.
This is exactly the case.
"She…"
Bai Lian took back the sentence, "What's wrong with her?"
She stared at the white clouds drifting at the halfway up the mountain with a strange look on her face.
Ying Shi is the former Saintess of Yaochi Holy Mountain. If she truly defected and joined the Qiongming Peak, it would surely cause turmoil throughout the East Divine Land.
Yaochi Holy Mountain is one of the four major sects, how can it bear such a face-slapping humiliation?
Even if Yaochi Holy Mountain is afraid to act rashly, it will still bear a grudge against the Duxian sect.
Is this good?
Not good.
It's too outrageous!
Bai Lian didn't want to provoke a strong enemy for the Duxian sect and she felt that Ying Shi's brain was probably eaten by zombies.
There is a saying that goes "If you can't beat them, join them."
But the problem is that she didn't fall out with Yaochi Holy Mountain. They are not enemies.
"I will persuade her."
Bai Lian stood up.
"Mm-hmm."
Xiao Jinse immediately lifted her head.
In front of Bai Lian, she is always meek and submissive.
She didn't want to antagonize Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
Bai Lian walked out of the room.
She lingered for a while but eventually decided against reporting Ying Shi's behavior to Yaochi Holy Mountain.
This is completely different from the situation when she reported Tong Yao's behavior to Master Qin.
Stealing and drinking alcohol is not a great crime. Even if she gets caught, Master Qin will at most just confine her.
If Ying Shi's actions were known by the high-ups of Yaochi Holy Mountain, she would be sentenced to death!
Bai Lian is not a saint but also not a villain.
She decided to give Ying Shi some advice first.
The sea of suffering is boundless, but with a turn, there can be shore!
(Translated by Gravity Tales ??)
If persuasion fails, then have the people of Yaochi Holy Mountain capture her and bring her back.
In Bai Lian's heart, the quiet of the Qiongming Peak cannot be broken.
Now.
Ying Shi outside the mountain gate received the message sent by Bai Lian, and she came running without a word.
In the woods halfway up the hill.
Bai Lian greeted, "Miss Ying Shi."
Ying Shi blushed and smiled bashfully.
"White Emperor Bai Lian"
She was no more than a meter away from Bai Lian. All she had to do was take one step forward and she could reach out and touch Bai Lian.
At this moment, her heartbeat was like it has been wound up and beating several times faster than usual.
It is beyond logic and above reason!
The last time when she came to the Duxian sect, she said such words to Bai Lian, but at that time, her reaction was nothing like it is today.
It must be because she has already had a deep contact with Bai Lian, right?
In the past, she could only experience the coldness from Bai Lian's appearance, feeling like it was distant and unreachable. But now, all she needs to do is close her eyes and she can recall the warmth within Bai Lian's body.
That is an immense power that infects people's hearts.
She still wants it.
So here she is!
"I have heard it from my Martial Sister." Bai Lian shook her head and sighed.
Her melancholy comes from the heart.
It's too problematic.
She probably has a conflict with the word 'Saintess', that's why there are always 'Saintess' causing her trouble.
Damn it!
Ying Shi nodded.
She said, "It seems my arrival is causing White Emperor Bai Lian some annoyance?"
Bai Lian said, "Your master, she…."
She stayed silent, her meaning was obvious.
Ying Shi said, "Actually, I had already spoken with my master and the Saint Lord before coming here."
"???"
Bai Lian was stunned.
How did you manage to come here safely after making your declaration of "revolt"?
She was confused.
She wondered if there is a problem with her or Yaochi Holy Mountain.
Ying Shi continued, "I'm not planning to defect from Yaochi Holy Mountain, I just…"
She suddenly grabbed Bai Lian's hand.
Danger!
A chill rose in Bai Lian's heart in that moment.
At the moment her hair stood on end, a system task popped up.
[Task 1: Follow the Trend (Reward: Jade Bone Reforging Pill)]
[Task 2: Immediately stop Ying Shi (Reward: Hard Skill +1)]
The Jade Bone Reforging Pill is a medicinal pill with a value comparable to the mid-grade Spirit Tools.
At the sight of this, Bai Lian grumbled.
She didn't know where the danger came from, but she was sure that as long as she followed Task 1, she would certainly get hurt and have to use the Medicinal Pills on herself.
"Is this just to experience what it feels to have my legs broken and be healed?"
Hurry to choose Task 2!
Just as Ying Shi pressed Bai Lian's hand onto her own chest, a magical scene appeared.
Bai Lian launched her Soft Skill.
Bai Lian's hand, which had been held captive, became as soft as noodles, and with a gentle tug, she had broken free of Ying Shi's grip.
"…"
Ying Shi stared, open-mouthed, at Bai Lian.
An Lan, who was hiding in the cave and watching the situation, let out a sigh of relief.
She hasn't wasted her effort in educating Bai Lian!
The last time Hong Yi pulled Bai Lian's hand to go on an adventure to the abyss, Bai Lian didn't resist at all, but this time, Bai Lian firmly refused Ying Shi's invitation.
"OK!"
An Lan smiled and immediately contacted Ju Yunzi.
Report, I must report it!
No matter what Ying Shi's intention is, she will not allow such a woman to stay around Bai Lian for a long time.
She, and Bai Lian, plus four silly disciples, are enough for the Qiongming peak!
