The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 9: Do You Know Me?

Lu Ye understood Yue Hongling very well.

The thing that pained her the most was never being beaten or scolded.

Beating her or scolding her—either would not make her submit.

Of course, it might also be because they didn't beat her hard enough.

However, Lu Ye now knew that ignoring Yue Hongling was actually what made her suffer the most.

The feeling of having nowhere to vent her anger, no place to release her frustration, was enough to drive her to the brink of collapse.

Sure enough, Yue Hongling got angrier and angrier, her face turning red and her neck bulging with fury.

She came over to vent her anger, but instead of releasing it, she only became more enraged.

Lu Ye ignored her, choosing instead to seal off his ears and continue cultivating leisurely.

As long as I can’t hear you scolding me, then you’re just scolding yourself.

Isn’t it frustrating?

Isn’t it uncomfortable?

This is exactly the effect I wanted!

Bai Qiulan rushed over and saw Yue Hongling, who was about to be driven mad with anger. She furrowed her brows in concern.

"Hongling, stop scolding," Bai Qiulan advised.

Seeing her master, Yue Hongling’s feelings of grievance exploded all at once, and she immediately burst into tears.

In front of Bai Qiulan, she always appeared weak.

Even sometimes, when cultivating the Yin-Yang Path, she would cry in front of Bai Qiulan.

"Master, Master, woo woo woo, I only formed a Heaven Core," Yue Hongling sobbed.

"It shouldn’t be this way. You have the memories of an Emperor and the Eternal Reversal Dao Sutra. Even with just the best Origin Returning Pill, you should be able to form a Saint Core. Why did you form a Heaven Core instead?" Bai Qiulan asked, confused.

"It’s all Lu Ye’s fault. Every time I broke through before, he would give me a whole bunch of treasures and pills, saying they would assist my breakthrough and help me reach perfection," Yue Hongling cried.

"This time, I just used some pills and treasures to assist my breakthrough, but instead of helping, those powers disrupted my true energy, and that’s why I ended up with this result," Yue Hongling said with extreme grievance.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiulan’s face changed instantly.

"Are you out of your mind?! Lu Ye has an extraordinary understanding of various energies—his skills are unparalleled, and every time he used treasures and pills to assist you, he would refine and adjust them countless times, putting in a great deal of effort. How could you just casually mix things together like that?" Bai Qiulan scolded.

Yue Hongling???

"Ah?"

"He didn’t just casually pick out some items to help you, how can you say it’s effortless?"

Bai Qiulan was beyond shocked.

"I once personally watched Lu Ye prepare pills for your breakthrough. His brows were furrowed, his face full of pain and concern. Some pills had to be shattered to reduce their potency, while others needed to be strengthened. There were many times he had to redo things until it was just right."

"How could he have helped you breakthrough like a divine aid if it were all done casually? You’ve become an Emperor—don’t you understand this by now?"

The more powerful one becomes, the more they realize just how mind-boggling it is for Lu Ye to assist Yue Hongling in her breakthroughs.

The delicate energy combinations, where adding too little or too much would ruin the effect, the unique energy reactions—it must have taken countless private experiments to find the optimal combination.

Among the seven of them, who didn’t know how much Lu Ye cared for this younger sister?

And now Yue Hongling didn’t know?

Bai Qiulan was stunned.

Yue Hongling was also stunned.

"Master, are you saying that every time I broke through, the assistance was the result of Brother Lu Ye’s thousands of experiments?"

"Well, what do you think? You became an Emperor yourself—try assisting someone else with their breakthrough and see if they don’t think you’re crazy!"

"So, you can scold everyone, but when it comes to breakthroughs, your brother has never done anything wrong by you. Now, apologize to your brother!" Bai Qiulan said sternly.

"No, I won’t apologize! If he hadn’t stolen my Perfect Origin Returning Pill, I wouldn’t have even thought of using these auxiliary pills. This time, I ended up with a Heaven Core, so it’s still his fault for taking my Perfect Origin Returning Pill!"

Bai Qiulan’s expression became slightly confused at this moment.

"What nonsense are you saying?"

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

"What do you mean, he ‘stole’ your Perfect Origin Returning Pill? In the last life, that Perfect Origin Returning Pill was originally obtained by your brother. He was the one who gave it to you—how did it turn into him ‘stealing’ it?"

Yue Hongling...

It’s bad, she actually forgot that the Perfect Origin Returning Pill was originally given to her by her senior brother.

This pill, whether in her past life or this life, never truly belonged to her.

"I see you really have big problems now. Immediately, right now, go to the back mountain and face the wall for reflection. If you don't understand and apologize to your senior brother, you're not allowed to leave the back mountain!"

Yue Hongling wanted to say something, but then realized that no matter what she said, she couldn’t stand firm on this matter.

"Hmph, anyway, he broke me and Feng Wuxie apart and indirectly caused Feng Wuxie’s death. I still won’t forgive him for that!"

After saying this, she turned and left.

So what if I’m going to the back mountain? I’ll go!

Bai Qiulan looked at the closed door of Lu Ye’s room, somewhat worried.

"Lu Ye, are you alright?"

Lu Ye’s lips curved slightly, a smile appearing. What a joke. You still have the nerve to scold Yue Hongling?

I don't even bother with Yue Hongling, do you really think I’ll bother with you?

Not receiving any response from Lu Ye, Bai Qiulan felt helpless.

She could only choose to leave.

Inside the room, Lu Ye’s aura trembled slightly, and his Saint-grade core shone brightly within his dantian, with intricate patterns spreading across the Saint Core.

His aura was even stronger now.

Five-star core!

Such a cultivation speed was truly astonishing.

Indeed, without any encumbrances, without any burdens.

His strength was growing at an unimaginable rate.

No bottleneck, no confusion.

Powerful cultivation method, terrifying aptitude.

Lu Ye had no idea what could possibly hinder his path to attaining sainthood.

And so, another ten days passed.

One day, suddenly, a woman with a hideously burnt appearance, as if scorched by fire, ran to the Grand Dao Sect.

As soon as she reached the gates of the Grand Dao Sect, she collapsed to the ground in a sorry state.

"Who is it?"

The disciple guarding the gate shouted loudly.

When they saw who it was, they sucked in a sharp breath.

Good heavens, not only were her burns severe, but there were also sword wounds crisscrossing her body. The most severe sword wound was directly stabbed several inches above her dantian, piercing straight through.

The two disciples guarding the mountain gate exchanged glances.

According to the sect’s rules, they weren’t allowed to save anyone on their own initiative, as they didn’t know whether the person was good or evil. Furthermore, the woman was holding a long sword, clearly a ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) demon sword.

Unless you knew someone in the sect, and that person knew you, the Grand Dao Sect would not offer assistance.

"White Orchid Peak... Lu... Lu Ye, I... I’m Chu... Ling..."

Chu Ling barely managed to summon the last of her strength to speak those final words before fainting on the stairs.

At this moment, a figure flew in from the sky, his long robes billowing, and his aura was extraordinary.

However, he too had blood on him, and his gaze was cold.

When he saw the gates of the Grand Dao Sect, a flicker of wariness appeared in his eyes, but there was no great fear.

"Fellow Daoist, I have pursued this villain here. I mean no offense to the Grand Dao Sect’s heavenly might. Please allow me to take this villain away immediately!" the person, known as the Grand Sword Master, shouted loudly.

After speaking, he reached for Chu Ling.

"Ding!"

A long sword struck the ground three meters in front of the Grand Sword Master.

"Don’t rush. She has mentioned the name of someone from our sect. Let me ask someone from the sect first. If they don't know her, then you can take her away!" one of the Grand Dao Sect disciples spoke up.
