I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Lingyao naturally saw the whole thing when Gu Lan made a breakthrough that day.

She never knew that Gu Lan was so talented.

The key point is, how could she have such cultivation and immortal fate on such a barren mountain.

There must be something helping Gu Lan that she doesn't know about.

What would that be?

But no matter what Gu Lan has, she will definitely find it out. Lingyao turned her head and thought of herself.

Although Lingyao was not as perceptive as Gu Lan, she was not stupid. When Xiangliu ran out in this competition, she knew that Xiangliu must have done something to her secretly.

Otherwise he couldn't, and wouldn't, dare to use her body like this.

That night, Lingyao went to a deserted place, tore off the jade pendant and pretended to throw it away.

Xiangliu flew out and stood behind her.

"It's no use throwing it away." His voice was flat, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

Lingyao turned around, holding the jade pendant, staring at Xiangliu closely, "Without this jade pendant, where can you stay? Without this jade pendant, how can you hide your breath?"

Xiang Liu laughed twice, "Don't you know it clearly? You are not such a stupid woman."

"I want you to explain it clearly!" Lingyao's blood boiled.

Xiangliu lied to her!

Xiang Liu stared at her resentful eyes, got very close, and said in a voice that was almost like a whisper: "Lingyao, you can't have it all. Since you used my magic power, there is no turning back. What famous and upright family, what immortal cultivation and ascension, you will never have it."

The sound is very light, yet very heavy.

In an instant, Lingyao seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

"No, no, didn't you say..."

"How can you believe my words? Huh?"

Lingyao's eyes seemed to be extinguished, and she turned into a piece of wood.

At this moment, she wished someone could tell her and stop her...

But everything is too late.

Xiangliu had deceived her using despicable means!

"What will happen to me?" Lingyao looked up at Xiangliu who was becoming more and more concrete in the moonlight.

It was a tall shadow, with no features visible, and his face could not be discerned.

"What will happen? Of course you will be with me. If I am strong, you will be strong. If I am weak, you will be weak. If I live, you will live. If I die, you will die too!"

"What if I die?"

As she spoke, Lingyao placed the sword across her neck.

"If I die, will you have no place to live?"

"You can't die."

"Huh, do you think I don't dare?"

"Do you dare? You've worked so hard to get to where you are today, will you give up?"

Lingyao glared at Xiangliu, stopped talking nonsense, and slashed her neck with the sword.

Xiangliu quickly flicked the sword away.

Lingyao's neck was scratched and blood was flowing out.

Xiangliu hooked the blood and slowly put it into his mouth, sighing: "I never thought you were such a fierce woman, haha."

Lingyao was clamped by him and couldn't move for a while, but it also proved her guess.

She glanced at Xiangliu, her eyes revealing a malicious and sinister light, "It seems that if I die, you will die too."

Xiangliu didn't take her expression seriously.

Xiangliu knew almost instantly that Lingyao wanted to threaten him with death in exchange for doing something. He knew what was hidden in her eyes at a glance.

However, this is almost impossible.

Xiang Liu snorted and laughed, "You are a ruthless person. You don't even go easy on yourself."

I didn't expect Lingyao would actually commit suicide.

Xiangliu had never thought about this.

It is interesting to see how people react like this when they are pushed into a corner.

So, does he need to... give her a little hope?

Xiang Liu pondered for a while, then released his grip, "Well, although I won't die if you die, it won't do any good, so let's just calm down."

Lingyao took a breath and touched her broken neck, which still had traces of blood. She used magic to heal the wound, then stood up with a cold tone.

"I knew your purpose long ago and was on high alert, but I never thought you would have such a way to form a bond with me. I had some faith in you and hoped that you would know my aspirations and ambitions and be able to lend me a hand, but I was too naive. You are a demon, and your nature is so cunning!"

Xiang Liu paced back and forth, "This is the weakness of you humans. If you easily trust others, you will only end up dead without a burial place. During the years of war with the demon clan, if I easily trusted others, I would have died long ago."

"Oh, what's the difference between you and a spirit now? You are just a spirit possessed in my body."

"If I succeed in taking over another body, I will be resurrected. How can it be the same?"

Lingyao was shocked. Taking over someone else's body? What if he really took over her body?

But he is just possessed by me and has formed a contract with me, so will he steal my body?

Xiangliu seemed to see the concerns in Lingyao's heart and smiled gently, "You were originally one of my targets. It would be easy for me to take over your body, but now I have changed my mind."

Lingyao heard him say this and made up her mind, "Whose body do you want?"

Xiang Liu smiled wickedly, "Gu Lan is as cunning and treacherous as I am. I have let her escape so many times. Next time, I will not let her escape. Can you help me take her body and destroy her soul? This is also revenge for you."

Lingyao looked in the direction of Gu Lan with resentment.

"But we have to hurry because she knows about you and me. As long as she wakes up and tells on us, we will be in danger."

When Lingyao heard this, she started to take emergency measures.

No matter how much Xiangliu said, she could not get over this knot in her heart. He deceived her and made a contract with her. How could she tolerate this?

Lingyao retorted, "If she reveals it, it will be your own fault!"

Xiang Liu was surprised and raised his eyebrows, "You don't want to? Is it because she is your former senior sister?"

Lingyao pursed her lips, "Killing her can protect you, but what good will it do me?"

"Killing her will protect me and you, so how can there be no benefit?"

"I have no hope of ascending to the immortal realm. I have to be very careful among the famous and upright sects and must not be discovered. How can I benefit from this?!"

Xiangliu rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it, just give me a sweet treat."

"It's not that the contract is unsolvable, but with my current abilities, I can't do it for now."

Lingyao's hope was rekindled, and her eyes lit up, but she doubted whether it was true.

Even looking at Xiangliu, one couldn't tell whether there was any deception on his face.

Lingyao walked back and forth for a few steps, and finally couldn't help but confirm: "Are you telling the truth?"

Xiang Liu's face was calm and his heart was not beating. He said in a steady voice, "Of course it's true."

But unfortunately, Lingyao was deceived again.

Once you have made a contract with the demons, it cannot be terminated for life unless you die.

Even if he changes his body, Xiangliu can still possess Lingyao, and the contract will not change, but he will be freer. Of course, Lingyao will still be under his control at that time.

After that, Lingyao tried to get close to Gu Lan several times but failed, because there were a lot of people gathered around Gu Lan, and every day it was either this person or that person coming.

Even Ling Yebai lingered in front of the door several times.

She had never seen Ling Yebai like that. Ling Yao liked Ling Yebai, although she had other thoughts.

But Lingyao never said it.

Xiangliu, who possessed her body, noticed something, but he mostly remained silent and never interfered with Lingyao.

Lingyao landed near the courtyard. She came here several times but never had the chance to take action. However, she also heard something.

For example, Gu Lan's meridians were all broken, his body and face were covered with wounds, and he was disfigured. It was also rumored that Gu Lan had lost his memory and had lost all memories of the competition with her.

That's really great.

There has been no chance these days, but even if Lingyao had the chance to get close to Gu Lan, she couldn't do anything. She was not stupid, she just wanted to see how Gu Lan was doing and find out her background.

After hearing that Gu Lan had lost her memory, her sense of urgency was not as strong anymore.

However, Lingyao still didn't quite believe it.

It was just a breakthrough, how could he lose his memory? Could it be some conspiracy on her part?

The conspiracy theory was Xiangliu's guess, but he couldn't figure it out. If Gu Lan remembered, he could just report it directly. It was really unnecessary to make her lose her memory.

Lingyao is more inclined to believe that Gu Lan has really lost her memory.

This time when they met at the sword tomb, Lingyao and Gu Lan looked into each other's eyes, as if they had traveled through thousands of years to meet each other again. Lingyao tried hard to find something in Gu Lan's eyes, but found nothing.

Indeed, Gu Lan's eyes were not complicated, but clean and pure.

Gu Lan felt uncomfortable being looked at by her. Just now, she followed up on what her two junior brothers had said. Gu Lan snorted, and then crossed his arms and asked, "Junior Sister Lingyao, do you have anything to say?"

Lingyao looked away, took a few steps, looked at the flying swords, and said, "There are so many disciples who enter the sword tomb, but not everyone has the opportunity to obtain a sword. How can you expect to obtain a sword the first time you come in?"

"Lingyao." Zhu Wenbo called out, "There are many disciples coming here for the first time. Speak less, so as not to lose hope for everyone."

"I'm just telling the truth." Lingyao retorted.

Zhu Wenbo shook his head helplessly.
