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

"So... in order to protect me, he planned to fake his death and bear everything alone?"

After hearing what Mo Lingsu had to say, Yue Siyi was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"To be precise, it's not just about protecting you, but about protecting everyone who has the destiny of a female protagonist."

Mo Lingsu corrected him calmly.

"He's been flirting with countless beautiful women without your knowledge! So you don't need to be moved by him; he might even be enjoying it."

Yue Siyi was taken aback, her eyes dimming slightly.

So I'm not the only one of my kind after all?

One sentence cooled down her almost overloaded romantic mind.

"So, all the pain I went through was because that organization wanted to use me as nourishment for Ye Feng?"

Mentioning the person she once deeply loved, Yue Siyi felt an urge to tear him to pieces.

"You can't really blame Ye Feng for this, after all, he was also a victim of that organization."

Mo Lingsu rarely said a good word for Ye Feng.

But to Yue Siyi, this sounded incredibly ironic.

"Victims? I think they're the beneficiaries, aren't they?"

Yue Siyi gritted her teeth. She could be blindly in love with someone, but at the same time, she could be extremely hateful.

"Why should we become the victims of his growth? Just because he's shameless enough?"

Mo Lingsu did not speak, but calmly finished the painting on the table.

But looking at the bizarre and incongruous portrait above, she couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

She originally wanted to show off by drawing a portrait of Su Qi with tea, but she now realizes that she really has no artistic talent.

It was at this moment that Yue Siyi, after careful consideration, finally asked the question.

"He... he's been pretending to be by my side all this time? Who has he been pretending to be?"

There were some things that Yue Siyi felt she had to make clear to him.

Looking at her masterpiece, Mo Lingsu decisively waved her hand.

A burst of spiritual energy carrying high temperature swept across, and the water on the table was quickly evaporated, leaving only two words.

【Du Yun!】

Upon seeing this name, Yue Siyi's eyes narrowed.

"I've told you everything I wanted to tell you. Go find him if you wish!"

Mo Lingsu poured herself another cup of tea and waved her hand.

"Thank you!"

Yue Siyi immediately stood up, turned around and left.

But just before she stepped out of the pavilion, she stopped, turned back and looked at Mo Lingsu with a complicated expression, asking one last question.

"Elder Mo, why are you telling me all this?"

“Perhaps…” Mo Ling Su looked at the distant lake with sorrowful eyes, revealing an extremely complicated expression, and slowly said the second half of the sentence: “It’s because we share the same plight!”

Upon understanding the meaning behind those words, Yue Siyi was startled and her eyes widened in shock.

"He even..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, but Mo Lingsu had already guessed what she wanted to say, and looked over with veins bulging on her forehead.

"What do you mean 'even me'? Am I that bad?"

Yue Siyi shrank back, awkwardly explaining, "That's not what I meant!"

Feeling frustrated, I thought, how could I have blurted out my true feelings when someone had kindly told me the truth?

Don't get me wrong, she didn't think Mo Lingsu was inferior to her, but rather that... Mo Lingsu was a bit too old!

Of course, these words must never be spoken aloud, or Mo Lingsu would immediately drown her in the lake.

She opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself, but seeing Mo Ling Su's murderous gaze, she bowed and quickly turned and ran away.

When she arrived at Su Qi and Bai Ling's dormitory, the scene she saw stunned her.

Because she saw another acquaintance.

"Where is Du Yun? I know he's back. Tell him to come see me!"

Seeing Ruobingli's murderous aura, Yue Siyi guessed what was going on.

"Sixth Elder, you've been deceived by him too?"

Ruo Bingli actually knew that Su Qi had returned, but she did not take the initiative to go to him.

She thought this traitor would take the initiative to seek her forgiveness, after all, the facts had proven that Su Qi's prediction was indeed correct, and she had a reason to forgive him.

Unexpectedly, this traitor showed no intention of looking for him at all.

After enduring for two days, Ruobingli finally couldn't take it anymore.

He ran over, ready to hang up and whip Su Qi, who had betrayed his master and ancestors.

If Bingli turned around and saw Yue Siyi, and then recalled her question, she felt like she was about to grind her teeth to dust.

So, while that traitorous disciple was seducing him, he also went to seduce Yue Siyi?

How did he deceive you?

Just after asking, Ruobingli waved her hand again: "Never mind, it's not important. Anyway, this traitor will definitely not live past tomorrow!"

With a murderous aura, she turned back to look at the stunned Bai Ling.

"Tell me, where did that traitor go?"

Traitor?

Yue Siyi fell into deep thought, and soon she understood.

So, the swindler deceived the Sixth Elder by using his identity as a disciple?

Yue Siyi knew without a doubt who the disciple was who could cause Ruobingli such grief and indignation.

He immediately looked puzzled.

That swindler actually managed to make Ruo Bingli, his master, fall in love with him...

For some reason, Yue Siyi suddenly felt at peace.

As the saying goes, it is not scarcity that is a concern, but inequality. When she thought that there were others like her, or even worse off than her, she felt that it was no big deal.

and……

Wow...they're master and apprentice!

Just thinking about it makes Yue Siyi feel excited.

“Du Yun…” Bai Ling finally raised her head, revealing a pair of tearful eyes: “He’s dead!”

Yue Siyi and Ruobingli were both taken aback.

"This is impossible! Who could have killed him?"

Ruo Bingli was well aware that she had previously sent several Nascent Soul Realm experts to besiege Su Qi, but none of them had been able to capture him immediately.

Even in the Central Continent, the Integration Realm is a very high level of cultivation.

If a fight breaks out, it won't be silent; the Ye clan will definitely be able to detect it.

"It was...it was Ye Feng! He killed Du Yun!" Bai Ling answered, sobbing.

Upon hearing this, the two women immediately felt relieved and pursed their lips.

Well, it's confirmed. This liar (traitor) is definitely faking his death again.

So, is Bai Ling, who is in front of him, also the female lead, and one of his targets?

Seeing Bai Ling crying her eyes out, the two of them simultaneously recalled their own experiences of being deceived.

Frowning, Ruobingli spoke.

"Stop crying, that traitor is definitely not dead yet! He's faked his death countless times!"

Bai Ling froze, looked up blankly, but the next second her tears flowed again.

"You don't need to comfort me. I saw him disintegrate with my own eyes. How could that be fake? Besides... even the Heavenly Dao has confirmed that he is dead!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, the two women, who hadn't paid much attention before, felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"What confirmation of the Heavenly Dao? Explain yourself!"

Ruo Bingli's volatile nature was about to burst forth.

“I…I was…cultivating with him last night when I suddenly received a message from Ye Feng, telling Du Yun that if he wanted to save Ye Yue, he should take me with him to the mass grave in the suburbs…”

Bai Ling, sobbing and breaking down, recounted what had happened the previous night.

After listening, both women fell silent.

Ye Feng made a vow to Heaven that after Du Yun's death, he would absolutely not harm Ye Yue in the slightest.

Afterwards, when Ye Feng wanted to attack Ye Yue, thunderclouds began to gather.

This is indeed enough to show that, according to the will of Heaven, Du Yun is already dead.

In an instant, the two women who had originally intended to settle scores with Su Qi felt their hands and feet turn ice cold.
