"The Spirit Control Sect?" Ling Ye uttered these words, his handsome features turning cold. "How can you prove it?"

"I have the identity token of a disciple of the Yuling Sect."

When Yun Yao took out her identity token from her storage ring, she accidentally took out the silver sword tassel along with it.

However, the sword tassel was originally intended to be given to him anyway, so it doesn't matter whether it's given sooner or later...

"I bought this sword tassel when I was browsing the market. I think it suits Master very well, but I haven't had a chance to give it to you yet."

Ling Ye glanced at it with disdain, "You have the nerve to give me this cheap stuff from a street stall?"

"...", clearly this is the most expensive of all those sword tassels.

Seeing her angry but unable to speak out, Ling Ye noticed her delicate lips pouting pitifully, her eyes glistening with tears, and her soft cheeks flushed pink—she looked both pitiful and adorable.

He smirked and took the sword tassel from her hand, but still said with disdain, "You dare to give away something you bought casually? You have no sincerity at all."

"..." This is the first time I've ever seen someone accept something from another person and then be so picky about it in front of them.

"Master, when can you lend me that magic artifact?"

"I'm not your master, what do you need to borrow from me?"

"...?" If they don't acknowledge her identity, then taking her sword tassel is going too far!

Ling Ye's eyes were deep and his slightly sharp jawline gave him a cold and aloof air. "Go back to being your little maid."

"...", after talking for so long, were you just teasing her?

[Host, he's a major villain, you're lucky he didn't kill you with a single sword strike.]

"..." That makes sense.

However, this time, having fallen into his hands, they were truly at his mercy.

the next day.

Yun Yao served that concubine as usual, but today she was clearly much more absent-minded.

Her aunt gently patted her head and asked, "Did that brat Ling Ye bully you last night?"

"No……"

"Ling Ye was incredibly cute when he was little, it's just a pity I couldn't protect him."

Yun Yao was curious about Ling Ye's identity, but was too embarrassed to ask directly, "He..."

"I was just a trinket that the emperor casually gave away. It was only when I arrived at the city lord's mansion that I discovered I was pregnant."

The emperor has many children, and he dislikes my lowly status, so Ling Ye is forced to suffer alongside me in the city lord's mansion.

"..." This emperor is truly perverted! Not only does he casually give away his own women, but he also doesn't want their children.

This city lord is really something, training the emperor's offspring into bloodthirsty assassins who obey his orders...

At night.

Yun Yao didn't go back to rest; she waited at the door, hoping to see Ling Ye.

But they couldn't wait for anyone for several days in a row.

Until the fifth day.

She first smelled a strong stench of blood. Then she saw Ling Ye, staggering against the wall, looking defeated and covered in blood!

Yun Yao rushed forward to help him, saying, "Where is your room? Let me help you apply the medicine."

Ling Ye raised his hand to her thin lips, giving her a warning look, "Shh! Help me to the woodshed in the back."

"……it is good."

Yun Yao helped the person to the woodshed in the backyard, and then secretly took two bottles of wound medicine and bandages from the storeroom.

As she cut open Ling Ye's clothes with scissors, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you only dare to treat your injuries secretly?"

Ling Ye's blood-stained eyes held a hint of mockery. "Injuries of this severity are enough to be thrown into the back mountains to feed the wolves."

He's a complete madman. This Lord of Jinling City is a total lunatic.

Ling Ye's voice was weak and listless, but he still couldn't resist a sarcastic remark, "Hmph, it's me who got hurt, not you, so what are you upset about?"

"Aren't you my master? Can't I be sad for you?"

"Tsk," what a load of bullshit, he's not her master at all!

Every time he heard her mutter about this person, he wanted to kill that so-called master.

It was already very late at night. After Yun Yao finished bandaging his wounds, she lay down on the haystack and fell asleep in a daze.

With a tattered piece of cloth torn from his clothes in his mouth, Ling Ye reopened the bandaged wound on his leg and cut off pieces of poisoned flesh.

The next day, when Yun Yao woke up, Ling Ye was gone, and the bloodstain on the ground had been cleaned up.

It was as if what happened last night was just a dream she had.

But soon, something else happened.

The city lord of Jinling was entertaining merchants from the Western Regions. His household staff were too busy to handle everything, so he asked the people from his concubine's courtyard to come and help.

Yun Yao was also called over, but she only had to help boil spring water in the backyard to make tea for the guests.

In the front hall, someone mentioned that the city lord had a woman in his backyard who had served the emperor...

The Western Region merchant, taking advantage of his drunkenness, broke into the backyard. Ling Ye's mother, refusing to yield, took a dagger and slit her own throat.

Along the way, no one stopped them...

The Western Region merchant found the death disgusting.

The city lord then suggested sending him a few more nice women to ward off the bad luck.

It was only a short afternoon...

The actions of these people are utterly disgusting.

This matter was absolutely approved by the city lord, or even deliberately guided by him.

Yun Yao mixed the broken holly leaves she had bought from the market into the tea leaves in her storage ring. She originally intended to use them to refine elixirs, but if she used them alone, the toxicity could cause hemiplegia.

Now that the poison has been completely eradicated, it will definitely trace back to her.

We had to make a quick getaway.

It was nearing nightfall, and a curfew was in effect in the city.

We can only find a secluded place to stay for the night.

But the next day, as soon as she stepped onto the street, she heard passersby saying that the city lord's mansion had been massacred overnight.

Not a single survivor was left.

The people were mostly delighted, happy that the big parasite in the city had finally been killed.

Yun Yao quickly contacted the system.

Where is Ling Ye now?

[Southeast direction.]

Yun Yao found Ling Ye in a small grove of trees.

It's easy to find along the way, since there's blood everywhere; just follow the bloodstains.

Ling Ye was very wary. When he heard someone approaching, the sword in his hand almost grazed the skin on her neck...

The moment he saw that it was her, his grip on the sword loosened slightly, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.

He was so exhausted that he couldn't even lift a sword anymore.

Yun Yao found an abandoned bamboo house and dragged the person inside.

For three days and three nights in a row, I brewed and fed him medicine.

The high fever has only just subsided.

When Ling Ye woke up, he saw Yun Yao carrying a pile of firewood in.

Seeing that the person had finally woken up, Yun Yao abandoned the firewood in her hand, threw it aside, and ran forward, "Master, how are you feeling now?"

Being so close, Ling Ye subconsciously leaned back. "How many days have I been asleep?"

"Four days."

Ling Ye rubbed his temples. "So long..."

"Yes, yes, Master, I've been here for so long, it's time for me to go back. Please let me go back, considering how long I've taken care of you."

Ling Ye looked down at her, his eyes unreadable.

A cold wind blew across the wrinkled corners of his clothes, and his disheveled hair fluttered in the breeze.

The moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating his face and giving him an air of loneliness.

Why must we go back?

"...What?" She came from twenty years ago, isn't it normal for her to go back now?

Ling Ye lowered his long, straight eyelashes and closed his eyes. "My injuries haven't healed yet. Once I'm healed, I'll let you go back."

He had used that time-reversing artifact many times, but each time he could not change the outcome.

This time was no exception. However, this time, he encountered an unexpected idiot.
