Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 379

Looking at the blank eyes of the Xiao clan holy guard at his feet, Xiao Ling's eyes showed no compassion, but a little bit of madness.

Not to mention that this holy guard of the Xiao Clan is just a member of the same tribe, but if someone stands in the way of her goal, she will never show mercy, even if the other person is her grandfather!

I will definitely beat Xiao Ying, no one can stop me! ! !
At this time, the blood-colored demonic long sword in Xiao Ling's hand had completely dissipated. Xiao Ling raised her hand and looked at the empty palm, feeling sad in her heart.

Zhanzun Blood Blade, a one-time secret technique that my grandfather gave to me out of joy when he broke through Douzong. As long as the opponent does not use fighting spirit to defend, even Douzun's strong body cannot resist it.

Although it can only be swung once, this is enough for Xiao Ling.

It is estimated that this holy guard of the Xiao clan did not understand until his death why Xiao Ling, the granddaughter of the great elder, suddenly attacked and killed him who had no grudges.

Immediately, Xiao Ling's eyes turned cold, and he turned his soul into a sharp blade, instantly killing the soul of the Xiao Clan's holy guard before he could escape from his body with just one blow.

The Xiao people know how to deal with souls very well.

Although the Holy Guard of the Xiao Clan in front of him is already a Dou Zun, he is not necessarily stronger than Xiao Ling in terms of soul alone.

Xiao Ling reached out to collect the separated body of the Xiao clan holy guard, wiped away the blood on the ground, then turned around and strode into the hall, walked to the corner and opened the floor tiles before walking down.

More than ten seconds later, Xiao Ling arrived at the underground prison. When he came to the outside of the prison, he looked down at Xiao Ying, who was in the prison with his head hanging down and bound by chains. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and called out in a low voice.

"Hey, Xiao Ying, are you still alive?"

When Xiao Ying heard this familiar voice that was still fresh in her memory, she slowly opened her eyes, raised her head slightly, and looked at Xiao Ling, who was looking down at her condescendingly.

For a moment, Xiao Ying's eyes showed surprise.

Why is she here?
Although this doubt appeared in Xiao Ying's mind for the first time, Xuan even put it aside indifferently and buried his head without making any response.

No matter who appears in front of her now, she doesn't care. She only thinks about living and waiting for a certain time to leave this prison and avenge her mother.

The rest of the things are not important, even if the woman in front of him has trampled her dignity to pieces.

"It's really boring. Can't you even reply?"

Xiao Ling curled her lips, reached out to pull out the prison, stepped in, grabbed Xiao Ying's dirty long hair, and lifted her face up to face him without mercy.

Looking at Xiao Ying's thin and dusty pale face, Xiao Ling's eyes were filled with disgust.

"It's really disgusting. You haven't taken a shower since five years ago, right?"

There was no kindness in Xiao Ling's words, and she hated Xiao Ying from the bottom of her heart.

Xiao Ying has long been used to this. After all, Xiao Ling has been displeased with her for a day or two, and Xiao Ying has no reaction at all to her mocking.

Xiao Ling saw that she was so mocked, but Xiao Ying's face still showed no emotion at all, and she couldn't help but feel speechless in her heart.

"You are really a waste from the inside out. A dog will lose its teeth if someone kicks it. Are you worse than a dog?"

Xiao Ling kept humiliating Xiao Ying with words, but Xiao Ying still didn't respond at all.

Although I don’t know how Xiao Ling found this place, in Xiao Ying’s opinion, Xiao Ling just came here to laugh at herself.

That being the case, just ignore it.

Click!

Suddenly, Xiao Ying heard four breaking sounds at almost the same time, and her broken hands and feet were obviously freed from their restraints. Without the support of the iron chains, Xiao Ying's face suddenly fell to the ground.

Xiao Ying opened her eyes in shock and turned to look at her hands and feet that had been freed from restraints. Before she could understand what was going on, Xiao Ling grabbed her by the back collar and dragged her out of the prison, towards Walk on the ground.

This scene made Xiao Ying completely stunned, and she turned to look at Xiao Ling's back blankly.

What on earth is she going to do?
Before Xiao Ying's thoughts could turn around, Xiao Ling, who was dragging her out of the underground prison, glanced around, confirmed that there was no one else, walked through the void, avoided everyone's eyes, and returned home. After closing the bedroom door, Xiao Ling Ying threw it to the floor.

Xiao Ying, whose hands and feet were broken, sat up with difficulty and stared closely at Xiao Ling in front of her, with strong confusion and vigilance in her eyes.

Xiao Ling crossed her arms and looked down at Xiao Ying, feeling her strength, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"The peak of Dou Huang, ha~ It seems that you have taken a lot of pills these years."

In that kind of prison, trapped by the chains that restrained fighting spirit, Xiao Ling didn't think that Xiao Ying had developed this strength on his own. Combined with the pills that the Xiao clan's holy guards frequently sent to the basement before, Xiao Ying's current fighting spirit It’s easy to imagine how the emperor’s peak strength came about.

"Hmph! If I fight you now, there's no point in winning."

Xiao Ling curled her lips coldly, turned around and opened the bedroom, calling loudly.

"Xiao Qiu!"

Not long after Xiao Ling finished speaking, a Dou Wang-level maid came to the bedroom.

Xiao Ying also knew this person. She was the maid who had served Xiao Ling since she was a child. She was also the person Xiao Ling was closest to besides the great elder.

When Xiao Qiu saw Xiao Ying sitting on the floor in the bedroom with a dirty face, she was stunned for a moment, and then she bowed her head respectfully and asked Xiao Ling.

"Miss, what are your orders?"

"Please go get me a bucket of water and give this guy a good bath."

Xiao Ling pointed at Xiao Ying, because Xiao Ying had changed so much that Xiao Qiu did not recognize this once proud woman of heaven.

What puzzles Xiao Ying is that Xiao Ling still uses honorifics even though Xiao Qiu is a servant?
"Yes."

Xiao Qiu was very obedient to his young lady's orders and bent down to respond.

Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. This is the experience Xiao Qiu has gained from serving Xiao Ling since she was a child. No matter how strange Xiao Ling's request is, she only needs to do it.

After a while, Xiao Qiu brought in a bathtub that could accommodate an adult and placed it in the bedroom. He immediately came to Xiao Ying's side, squatted down and took off her shabby clothes.

When he saw Xiao Ying's body, Xiao Qiu's expression suddenly froze.

So thin, almost skinny!There are still many wounds on his body, obviously he has been tortured before.

How could the lady know such a person?Or how could the Xiao clan have such a person?

Questions filled Xiao Qiu's mind. No matter how bad the Xiao people were, they wouldn't be like this?
Then Xiao Qiu came to her senses, stretched out her hand to support Xiao Ying and prepared to let her enter the barrel, and then she discovered a shocking fact.

This man's hands and feet were all broken.
"too slow."

Just as Xiao Qiu was stunned, Xiao Ling, who was watching from the side, had impatience flashing in his eyes. He came to Xiao Ying, directly grabbed Xiao Ying's neck while Xiao Qiu looked at her in astonishment, and threw her into the bathtub. inside.

Xiao Ling's sudden movement caught Xiao Ying off guard. She turned her body up in the tub and accidentally choked on the water, causing her to cough violently.

"This guy hasn't had a bath in five years, and he washed her clean."

Xiao Ling ordered, Xiao Qiu quickly responded and stood beside the tub to help Xiao Ying clean her body and hair. Having served Xiao Ling for a long time, she was already very good at this kind of thing.

As Xiao Ying was slowly cleaned, the face covered by dust gradually recovered, and Xiao Qiu was able to see her face clearly.

The next moment, Xiao Qiu's expression suddenly showed a look of shock.

Although he was too thin and his skin was extremely pale, wasn't this face the same as Xiao Ying's whereabouts after being taken away five years ago? !

Although Xiao Qiu didn't understand why Xiao Ying, who had disappeared for five years, appeared in Xiao Ling's bedroom, as a servant, she still said the same thing.

Don't ask, don't ask.

Xiao Ling suppressed the shock in her heart and continued to help Xiao Ying clean her body with a normal expression. During this period, Xiao Ling also roughly fed pills into Xiao Ying's mouth. Her hands and feet were severed and she was low. Xiao Ying, who had a whole level of spirit, could not resist at all and could only swallow it all.

Then, Xiao Ying felt that her body began to recover significantly, her broken hands and feet began to heal, the scars on her body gradually faded, and her pale skin gradually returned to color.

Xiao Ying knew what those pills were without Xiao Ling's explanation.

But this made Xiao Ying even more confused. Why did Xiao Ling want to rescue herself from the underground prison?Not only did she order her servants to give her a bath, but she also fed her healing elixirs. What was she doing for that?
When Xiao Ying was so confused, Xiao Qiu also cleaned her body. When she saw Xiao Ying coming out of the bath, she couldn't help but admire her in her heart.

What a perfect body, what a perfect face.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the Xiao Clan that absolutely believed in the law of the jungle, this beauty alone would have been enough for Xiao Ying to live quite well.

Xiao Ling gently pinched her chin and looked up and down Xiao Ying's jade body with interest.

"Hmph~~~Although you have become a waste, this body is indeed quite attractive. If I throw you out, there will definitely be many people rushing to pick you back up and become a slave."

Xiao Ling's words still didn't move Xiao Ying in the slightest. Xiao Ling felt bored, glanced at the bucket of dark dirty water from the corner of his eyes, looked at Xiao Qiu and said softly.

"Go and throw away this bucket of water. It's too dirty to keep in the house."

"I'm very sorry! I'll deal with it immediately!"

Xiao Qiu came back to her senses, responded quickly, and was about to leave the bedroom with the bathtub in hand. Xiao Ling added another sentence before leaving.

"Come back after you clean up the water."

"Yes."

After Xiao Qiu left, Xiao Ying stared at Xiao Ling closely and slowly opened her mouth. She had not spoken for five years and asked in a deep voice with a slightly stiff and hoarse voice.

"Why do you want to save me?"

No matter who rescues her from prison, even if Xiao Wuyun suddenly realizes his conscience and recognizes his daughter and releases her, Xiao Ying will not be so confused.

But Xiao Ling was the only one who rescued her, which Xiao Ying couldn't figure out.

Xiao Ling has been unhappy with her since she was a child, and her behavior has worsened since she became a waste. Xiao Ying can't think of a reason why Xiao Ling would save her.

"Can you speak? I thought you were imprisoned for five years and became mute." Xiao Ling playfully picked up the phoenix eyes at first, and then a crazy smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch Xiao Ying's wrist. He lifted her up in the air by his neck, "Why did I save you? Do you even need to ask? Of course it was to win you!"

Xiao Ling, who was at the peak of Douzong, grabbed his neck and lifted him up in the air. Xiao Ying, who was at the peak of Douzong, couldn't resist at all, and felt even more confused in her heart.

Even if Xiao Ling answered her words, Xiao Ying still couldn't understand the logic of her behavior. It was even more incomprehensible than when she was aloof and humiliated herself before.

At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open again, and Xiao Qiu, who had finished handling the bathtub, walked in. At a glance, he saw Xiao Ying being held in the air by Xiao Ling's neck, and his shoulders suddenly trembled.

What's going on here?
Soon, Xiao Qiu's expression returned to normal, and he stood up straight and bowed his head slightly towards Xiao Ling.

"Miss, do you have any other instructions?"

Xiao Ling glanced at Xiao Qiu and put Xiao Ying down. When Xiao Ying covered her neck and coughed violently, Xiao Ling came to Xiao Qiu and looked at her solemnly.

"Xiao Qiu."

"exist."

Xiao Qiu raised his head and met Xiao Ling's sincere eyes. Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly.

"Thank you for taking care of me all these years. Without you, my daily life would be a mess."

These words were spoken from the bottom of Xiao Ling's heart. Although she was talented in cultivation, in terms of daily life, even ten of her could not keep up with Xiao Qiu, the maid.

When Xiao Qiu heard Xiao Ling's sincere thanks, he was stunned for a moment, then panic appeared on his face, and he waved his hands quickly.

"Miss, you don't have to be like this. This is what Xiao Qiu should do."

Seeing Xiao Qiu's respectful look, Xiao Ling lowered his eyebrows and said again leisurely.

"Xiao Qiu, I want to ask you to borrow something."

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Xiao Qiu replied without thinking.

"Miss, please just say it, Xiao Qiu won't do anything wrong... ugh!!!"

Xiao Qiu's words stopped suddenly, and Xiao Ying's eyes tightened even more. She looked at Xiao Ling in front of her in horror. Her hand had already penetrated Xiao Qiu's chest!
Xiao Qiu's pupils trembled, and he lowered his head slightly, looking at Xiao Ling's hand that slowly pulled out from his chest, holding a blood-red beating heart tightly in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling's cruel and ruthless words reached Xiao Qiu's ears.

"Lend me everything you have."

After the words fell, Xiao Ling suddenly clenched his palms, and the heart in his hands exploded. The blood splashing towards Xiao Ling was blocked by Xiao Ling's fighting spirit, and fell slowly like water hanging on the wall.

Xiao Qiu, on the other hand, was infected by the blood from his heart. His eyes gradually became blurred, and he looked at Xiao Ling, who had always treated his maid like a sister since childhood.

A final helpless sob came out of his mouth.

"Miss. Why?"

Xiao Qiu didn't even finish the last sentence, and his body fell to the ground weakly. His eyes were wide open, as if he could not rest in peace.

She didn't understand what she had done to make Xiao Ling, who had always treated her kindly, suddenly kill her.

And she will never know the answer to this question.

"Sleep peacefully, Xiao Qiu, I have really worked hard on you these years."

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Qiu who was lying on the ground and said these words sincerely.

Immediately, with a wave of his hand, Xiao Qiu's body and soul were completely wiped clean.

She really cares about Xiao Qiu. In her eyes, Xiao Qiu is more like her only friend than a maid. Even compared to her grandfather, Xiao Qiu is undoubtedly more important in her heart.

Whoever dares to touch Xiao Qiu will risk her life!
Xiao Qiu is, in a real sense, the person he values ​​the most.

But this did not prevent Xiao Ling from taking her life at all.

It's not for anything else, it's just that Xiao Ling needs Xiao Qiu to die and disappear forever in order to achieve his goal, nothing more.

Xiao Ying also looked at the scene in front of her in shock. She never thought that Xiao Ling would kill Xiao Qiu with her own hands!
At this moment, Xiao Ling slowly turned his head, with a crazy glow in his eyes, staring at Xiao Ying coldly. "Xiao Ying, remember it for me."

"From this moment on, you are Xiao Qiu."

"Your appearance, your name, your life, everything about you, all belong to me now."

Xiao Ling slowly turned around, walked up to Xiao Ying, squatted down slightly, held her hair tightly, forced her to look at him, and laughed loudly.

"Try your best to take these back from my hands! Until your body disappears!!!"

Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Ling's eyes, flashing with crimson madness, like a nightmare, telling herself the way to go next.

Looking at her crazy eyes, Xiao Ying was really scared for a moment.

However, immediately after, Xiao Ying's eyes were clear and she stared at Xiao Ling.

He responded coldly.

"I will, miss."

Bang! ! !
In the underground prison of the Patriarch's Mansion, several Xiao Clan's holy guards were surrounding here with trembling figures.

In front of them, Xiao Wuyun's face turned extremely dark, staring at the destroyed and empty prison in front of him. His biological daughter Xiao Ying had disappeared.

Damn it!who is it? !Who took her away? ! !
Xiao Wuyun's mind began to turmoil unconsciously, and the Xiao Clan's strongest majestic momentum in his body could not stop rising. The hearts of the Xiao Clan's holy guards around him began to shake violently, and several low-level Dou Zun persisted. Unable to resist the strong pressure, his heart twitched, he foamed at the mouth and fainted to the ground.

"Where are the people! Where are the people?! Where are the people you showed me?!"

Xiao Wuyun roared wildly, and the captain of the Xiao clan's holy guard forced himself to calm down and stood up tremblingly.

If he doesn't speak out again, all of them will die here!

"Reporting to the clan leader, I can't find any trace of the Xiao Clan holy guard who was arranged by my subordinates earlier, and no traces of fighting were found at the scene. According to my subordinates' speculation, either he took Xiao Ying away, or a fighter The Holy Power killed him and took Xiao Ying away."

What the Xiao Clan Holy Guard Captain said is justified. The dead Xiao Clan Holy Guard was indeed the weakest among all the Xiao Clan Saint Guards, but he was still a one-star Dou Zun, even with his captain status. It is impossible for Dou Zun's peak strength not to leave traces of battle.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities.

One is that he took Xiao Ying away for some reason.

The second is that a strong fighting saint killed him for some reason and then took Xiao Ying away.

Listening to the words of the Xiao Clan Holy Guard Captain, Xiao Wuyun gritted his teeth and his eyes were about to burst. He was so angry that he suddenly waved his hand. The head of the Xiao Clan Holy Guard Captain suddenly exploded, and the headless body fell to the ground. On the ground, even the soul was casually annihilated by Xiao Wuyun.

The others looked at the tragic end of their captain, but no one dared to make a sound, they all shivered and lowered their heads.

"Go! Find it for me!" Xiao Wuyun turned his head, his eyes glowing with aglow, and he glared at the Xiao Clan's holy guards with murderous intent, "No matter what means you use, you must find Xiao Ying for me! "

"Follow orders!!!"

All the Xiao Clan's holy guards responded in unison. They didn't even dare to look at the corpse of their captain. They all disappeared into the underground prison, leaving Xiao Wuyun alone here, staring at the corpse. Prison.

During this period of time, turmoil occurred in the Xiao clan.

For some unknown reason, under the instruction of the clan leader, the holy guards of the Xiao clan began to search house to house. From the ordinary clan members at the lowest level to the elders at the highest level, no one was spared.

As for what they were searching for, the Holy Guards of the Xiao Clan did not explain clearly at all. They only focused on the search. However, with the clan leader's oral instructions, the Xiao Clan people did not dare to slack off at all. They could only help with the search out of doubt and reluctance. The three elders' mansion was even more thorough. Check object.

At this time, inside the Grand Elder’s Mansion.

"Great Elder, Miss Xiao Ling, I'm sorry."

After searching the Grand Elder's Mansion, the three holy guards of the Xiao Clan said solemnly, then turned and left.

Looking at the leaving figure of the Xiao Clan's holy guard, the great elder clasped his hands behind his back and narrowed his old eyes slightly.

Although these Xiao clan holy guards did not explicitly say what they were searching for, he probably guessed that it was related to Xiao Ying who was imprisoned by Xiao Wuyun.

Thinking of what he heard from Xiao Qingge in the hall of the Patriarch's Mansion five years ago, which must not be spread to outsiders, the Great Elder felt terrified in his heart.

He had no doubt that if the three elders were even slightly weaker and could find replacements in this family, Xiao Wuyun would immediately kill them.

But Xiao Wuyun didn't need to let them know about this. When Xiao Qingge wanted to meet with him, Xiao Wuyun took the initiative to call the three elders over.

In other words, it was Xiao Wuyun's intention to let them know about it.

And the reason, needless to say, was to let the three elders know that he, Xiao Wuyun, had the ability to seize Dou Emperor's bloodline.

If you follow him, he will be able to benefit yourself, and even if you are not blessed to receive it, your descendants will be able to benefit from it.

But if you go against him, death is the only thing waiting for you.

Xiao Wuyun used that incident to tie the three elders to him willingly. All the power of the entire family was firmly in the hands of Xiao Wuyun alone. Now these elders are just in name only.

The most obvious one is the Xiao Clan Holy Guard. In the past, the three elders just couldn't interfere with the Xiao Clan Holy Guard's affairs, but the Xiao Clan Holy Guard did not dare to overstep the three elders.

And now, the Holy Guard of the Xiao Clan dared to openly search the elder's mansion, not taking him as the great elder seriously at all!
"Hmph!" The elder suddenly flicked his sleeves and glanced sideways at his precious granddaughter, "Ling'er, I'm going to go out and stay at home. Looking at this, the Xiao clan's holy guard may have to wait a long time. Time won’t stand still, so don’t run around or get into trouble.”

"Okay grandpa~ I promise not to go out~"

Xiao Ling smiled and responded to the First Elder, but the First Elder looked at her doubtfully.

Why do you suddenly feel that Ling'er's mood has improved a lot?

However, the First Elder didn't think too much about it. After all, the relationship between Xiao Ling and Xiao Ying was obvious to the entire Xiao clan. Other things were not certain, but Xiao Ying's matter could never be related to Xiao Ling.

Immediately, the first elder strode out of the house with his hands behind his back, wanting to talk to the second elder about the matter.

If this continues, these elders will really become mere decorations.

Watching the great elder leave the house, Xiao Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Grandpa never would have thought that the person the Xiao Clan's Holy Guard is looking for is in his own home."

Xiao Ling turned her head slightly and looked at Xiao Qiu who was standing behind her.

In other words, Xiao Ying's appearance has completely changed.

It happened that Xiao Ying was about the same size as Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu followed Xiao Ling all the time and there were no other people she was familiar with, so no one could see Xiao Qiu's changes.

Not to mention strength, there are too many ways to suppress strength, whether it is pills or seals, there are as many as you need.

"Haha~~~ I feel alive now. It was meaningless to live in such a hazy way before." Xiao Ling stretched out and came to Xiao Ying immediately, her jade fingers were as gentle as teasing a pet. Lifting her chin, "Just tell me what you want, elixirs, exercises, fighting skills, whatever. As long as I can get it, I will give it to you. Except during the time when you serve me, I will give it to you at any other time." Whatever you do."

"Don't let me down, [Xiao Qiu]~" Xiao Ling smiled happily and gave the order in a cheerful mood, "Go, get water for me and take a bath for me."

After hearing Xiao Ling's order, Xiao Ying took a step back slightly and bowed slightly towards Xiao Ling respectfully.

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiao Ying turned around and walked slowly towards the water room. However, Xiao Ling, who was thinking about the future, did not see the cold yet firm look in Xiao Ying's eyes.

She also kept murmuring Xiao Qingge's final instructions to her.

"Go your own way, don't care about anyone, don't trust anyone."

"No matter what means you use, climb up and reach the top of the world."

"Until no one dares to ignore me."

Autumn passes and winter comes, time passes.

Five more years have passed since Xiao Ling took Xiao Ying out of the underground prison.

Except for the first month when Xiao Ying disappeared from the underground prison, there was no peace in the Xiao clan, and Xiao Wuyun even looked like he was determined to find Xiao Ying.

But in the end, there was no clue at all, and even if Xiao Wuyun was furious, it was of no avail.

We could only settle the matter hastily, and the Xiao clan finally returned to normal.

In the past five years, Xiao Ying has been playing the role of Xiao Qiu perfectly, serving Xiao Ling loyally, so imitating her facial expressions and movements that even Xiao Ling thought Xiao Qiu was still alive more than once.

And in the past five years, Xiao Ling also said to Xiao Ying that no matter what Xiao Ying needed, she would get it for Xiao Ying as long as she could get it.

At first, Xiao Ying was confused and didn't understand why Xiao Ling gave so many resources to herself.

If she wanted to satisfy her inner pleasure and let herself be her maid for the rest of her life, there was absolutely no need for Xiao Ling to help her improve her strength.

However, Xiao Ying slowly understood that this issue was not important to her at all, not at all.

If she is willing to give it, she will do it. As for her purpose, she will know it sooner or later.

And today is another annual strength test conference.

"Xiao Ling, the peak of Dou Zun!!!"

The tester roared grandly, his face still flushed with excitement written all over his face.

The 25-year-old Dou Zun is at his peak!It’s only one step away from Dou Sheng!He is definitely a genius that can be recorded in the history of the Xiao clan! ! !

"Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling!"

The people of the Xiao clan in the audience spontaneously shouted Xiao Ling's name. On the stage, Xiao Ling held her head high and proudly scanned the people of the Xiao clan below, and finally fixed her gaze on Xiao Ying's face that did not belong to her. .

Xiao Ying, have you seen it?

The position I'm standing on now was originally yours.

But no matter what others think, I will never consider this position to be mine until I actually beat you.

Only if I truly defeat you will I truly accept this position!

Xiao Ling is such a self-centered person.

No matter what everyone else thinks, she only cares about her own opinion.

Even if the whole world thought she deserved it, she would never admit it. She always felt that she was just taking Xiao Ying's place.

This idea was only something she was willing to give up if she truly defeated Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying raised her head and looked at Xiao Ling's fiery eyes on the stage. Although she still had no idea in her heart, there was a slight smile on her lips that she didn't even notice.

Five years have passed since she took over Xiao Qiu's identity, and it was also during these five years that Xiao Ying finally got to know this opponent who once hated her so much.

Proud, self-confident, absolutely believing in herself, and absolutely believing in her goals. In order to achieve her goals, she is willing to abandon everything.

However, paradoxically, Xiao Ling is not really the kind of cold-blooded person who doesn't care about feelings. Xiao Ying has seen the guilt and tenderness towards him in her eyes more than once.

Although it was very shallow and deeply hidden, Xiao Ying could still clearly see it.

Xiao Ying knew in her heart that it was not an expression towards herself, but an expression towards her face and the dead Xiao Qiu.

She really cares about Xiao Qiu, and Xiao Qiu is the only person who is really valued so much by Xiao Ling, even if she is just a maid.

Whenever someone is about to cause trouble for him, Xiao Ling will immediately stand up to defend him, just because he is standing in Xiao Qiu's face.

However, for Xiao Ling, feelings are feelings and goals are goals.

As long as it is to achieve her own goals, she will abandon the relationship no matter how serious it is.

She will be sad about it and feel guilty about it.

But asking her to give up her goals for feelings?
Forget it! ! !

It was also because of this that Xiao Ying clearly felt that Xiao Ling was really similar to herself.

To be more precise, it is very similar to myself now.

"Xiao Qiu~ let's go back~"

Xiao Ling jumped off the test platform, and slowly left with Xiao Ling in the eyes of others, turning her head slightly with a happy smile on her face.

"Thank you for always staying with me~"

Xiao Ying didn't know whether Xiao Ling said this to Xiao Ying or Xiao Qiu.

Just her words made Xiao Ying remember every detail of the five years of getting along with her, and a feeling she had never felt before came to Xiao Ying's heart.

This feeling was something she had never experienced before, even before she fell into despair.

That feeling of being called a friend by others.

How warm, how intoxicating.

Xiao Qiu must have enjoyed this warmth as well.

However, in just a moment, the warmth in Xiao Ying's heart became extremely cold, and she stared at Xiao Ling who was walking happily in front.

Deep in my heart, I murmured slightly.

The current self is the same person as her.

　This Xiao Lingchun is crazy, but not the kind of cold-blooded crazy, just one who values ​​his own goals more important than anything else.
