The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

"Hehe, our White Tiger Academy always keeps its word!" Li Chengping ignored Su Qi's shouts, replying with a forced smile, his indifferent eyes glancing at Gao Yi behind him as he gave instructions.

"Remember to give the admission ticket to Du, so others won't say we broke our promise!"

"Yes!" Gao Yi quickly nodded in agreement. You could tell he was very nervous; even a dignified Integration Realm cultivator was sweating profusely.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd been caught having an affair with his teacher.

"Dean, I..."

Before Su Qi could finish speaking, Li Chengping interrupted him, his deep eyes fixed on him and a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Du, you did a great job, very well!"

After saying that, she snorted and turned to leave, leaving Su Qi, covered in sweat, sandwiched between the demoness and the witch.

"Hehehe, little kitty, it seems your headmaster has approved of us being together!"

"I'm a little envious of you. You get to have two beauties at the same time, me and Ye Yue. You're enjoying the blessing of having two women."

Su Qi knew perfectly well that the two of them were doing it on purpose.

Ye Yue wanted to sow discord.

Mo Lingsu outwardly acted the same way, but in reality, she was looking for fun.

Because she discovered that every time she got close to Su Qi, the female characters all looked like they wanted to devour her whole.

It's so much fun!

What followed was a series of tedious competitions.

Unsurprisingly, in this kind of situation, can the chosen one still be called the chosen one if they don't put on an act?

Ye Feng swept through the competition and won first place in the individual contest.

After the competition, Su Qi received the list of participants for tomorrow's alchemy competition, and he noticed something very interesting in it.

Several high-level alchemists from Medicine King Valley were mixed in among the participants.

This was clearly a deliberate arrangement by Li Chengping. If Ye Feng wanted to win the competition, he would probably have to get Elder Mu to intervene.

It seems that this alchemy competition was the real reason why Ye Feng's identity was exposed.

With this in mind, let's look at the current situation of the Li clan.

In the original storyline, for reasons unknown, Ye Feng was exposed, and the Li Clan only took action against him after the events in the Eastern Region.

But now, the Li clan, driven to desperation, probably has no patience to wait any longer.

Once they confirm Ye Feng's identity, they will not hesitate to take action against him.

That being the case...

Su Qi glanced at the two secret realm entrance tickets in his hand. They were given to him by Gao Yi, after all, it was Li Chengping's order.

Perhaps we can give Ye Feng a push, otherwise it will be a long time before he gets the Soul Pearl hidden in the secret realm.

Su Qi's original intention has never changed: to use the Chosen One to overthrow the corrupt Three Holy Lands and lift their blockade on the ascension path.

Then, using the female lead, they can kill Ye Feng, the chosen one.

However, if the Li Clan makes a move beforehand, Ye Feng will not be able to obtain the entrance ticket to the secret realm.

Without an admission ticket, he cannot enter the designated secret realm.

He can't get the Soul Bead if he can't enter the designated secret realm.

Without obtaining that Soul Pearl, how could he quickly improve his cultivation and fight against the three holy lands?

……

Late at night, in the lakeside pavilion of the college.

Ye Feng was standing there waiting. Just now, he had received another invitation from Bai Ling.

He subconsciously thought that this was another instance of Du Yun's perverse sense of humor, trying to play with his husband's current state.

To his surprise, only Bai Ling came this time, and she was acting suspiciously.

"Ling'er, what's wrong?"

Noticing that Bai Ling was acting strangely, Ye Feng quickly showed concern.

"Did Du Yun torment you again?"

"No, I came to give you this!" Bai Ling looked around, then took out an admission ticket and stuffed it into Ye Feng's hand.

"Is this an entry ticket to a high-level secret realm?"

Upon seeing what it was, Ye Feng couldn't contain his joy: "Ling'er, where did you get this?"

"I stole this from Du Yun. I noticed you've been accumulating points since you enrolled, probably to enter some secret realm, right? I saw Du Yun had one today, so I took advantage of her not looking..."

"This... Ling'er, I can't accept this. If she finds out you stole the ticket, she'll torture you even more!"

Although Ye Feng really wanted to accept it, he was afraid when he thought of Du Yun's methods of torturing people.

He was afraid that Bai Ling would suffer another cruel fate at Du Yun's hands because of him.

“It’s alright, anyway…” A hint of sadness flashed in Bai Ling’s eyes: “I’m used to it. Do you think he doesn’t torment me when things are fine?”

As if recalling something painful, she hugged her shoulders tightly in fear.

"Ling'er..."

"Ye Feng, now I can only trust you. Please don't refuse. You must improve your cultivation as soon as possible and help me kill this demon, Du Yun!"

Bai Ling spoke through gritted teeth, her bloodshot eyes filled with rage.

"Ling'er, it's my fault that you've suffered!"

Moved, Ye Feng stepped forward, wanting to embrace the woman who had sacrificed so much for him.

But Bai Ling dodged away in fear.

Ye Feng's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. He looked utterly disappointed.

"Even when she's not here, you still have to obey her orders and not let me touch you?"

"No...no, I just..." Bai Ling looked like she was afraid Ye Feng would misunderstand her, biting her lip and trembling uncontrollably.

"It wasn't Du Yun's order, it's just that my body trembles uncontrollably whenever someone touches me, I..."

She didn't continue speaking, but silently shed tears of humiliation.

Seeing this, Ye Feng understood perfectly well that Bai Ling had been traumatized by Du Yun.

He clenched his fists tightly and forced a smile onto his face.

"Ling'er, it's alright. After this is all over, I will slowly help you heal all your wounds. I will never touch you until you can accept it!"

To prove his point, he even deliberately distanced himself, giving Bai Ling a sense of security.

"Ye Feng..."

Bai Ling was deeply moved by what she saw, but then, for some unknown reason, she closed her eyes in anguish.

"Ye Feng, let's get a divorce after this!"

"Why?" Ye Feng's voice rose a few decibels, his face full of confusion.

Was it because I didn't do a good enough job?

Uh... it does seem pretty bad.

Bai Ling felt humiliated but powerless to help herself.

How can someone like me be worthy of being a husband?

"So... is it because I'm too incompetent?"

Ye Feng let his hands fall limply to his sides, and the rift in his heart widened even further.

"No...you are wonderful, I just feel...that I've lost the ability to be someone else's wife, I'm not good enough for you!"

Tears of pain streamed from Bai Ling's tightly closed eyes.

"No, Ling'er, all the misfortunes you've suffered are because of me. If I despise you because of this, what kind of person would I be? Believe me, everything will pass, your pain will soon end, and I will stay by your side to heal all your wounds!"

Ye Feng spoke with such sincerity that it was hard to tell whether he was truly sincere or not.

After all, in the original story, after he tricked Bai Ling out of her innate Yin energy, he immediately started flirting with Ning Hongyu.

……

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pair of lovesick lovers!" Su Qi sighed repeatedly as he watched this scene through binoculars in the dormitory.

If he hadn't noticed that Bai Ling's aura was still dark, he probably wouldn't have believed that Bai Ling was acting.

But the little white fox Mo Ling Su couldn't understand it.

"Weren't you going to deal with Ye Feng? Why are you helping him instead?"

"Haven't you heard? To destroy an enemy, you must first drive them mad!"

"Hehe, I'm just afraid you'll go too far and get caught by Ye Feng, who'll pin you down!"
