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

The incident began when Yue Siyi's mother, a courtesan, accidentally discovered that her guest was actually Yue Chongshan, the junior brother of the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, one of the four major sects.

So she had some ideas and, while serving Yue Chongshan, she did something to get pregnant.

She thought this would allow her to marry into a wealthy family, but to her surprise, by the time she confirmed her pregnancy, Yue Chongshan had already left Pingnan City.

She naturally wanted to go to Qingyun Sect to find Old Yue, but her indenture was in the hands of the madam, so how could they be willing to let go of her, their cash cow?

Even if she said that the child in her womb belonged to Old Master Yue of the Qingyun Sect, the madam would just think that she was crazy for wanting to climb the social ladder. How could the high and mighty immortal of the Qingyun Sect, who could have countless female disciples throwing themselves at him with a mere wave of his hand, possibly come to her shabby brothel?

The madam wanted to abort the courtesan's unborn child, but this was her hope of becoming Madam Yue, so she naturally refused, even at the cost of her life.

After finally giving birth, the courtesan felt that with the child's bloodline as proof, as long as she could contact her husband, her life would take off.

But how could a woman trapped in a brothel contact her husband?

To get the madam's help, she promised to give her a generous reward if she could contact Lao Yue.

The madam outwardly agreed, but then secretly sent someone to impersonate Old Yue to reply, delivering a ruthless blow to the courtesan.

Then the courtesan was heartbroken by the ruthless "old man" and never recovered, accepting that she was destined to be nothing more than a plaything for the rest of her life.

This marked the beginning of Yue Siyi's tragic childhood.

The courtesan's beauty faded after giving birth and she didn't get enough nutrition, causing her value to plummet and preventing her from continuing as the courtesan. She blamed Yue Siyi for this and beat and scolded the child every day.

In addition, Yue Siyi was born to a prostitute, and no children around her wanted to play with her, so her entire childhood was bleak.

Until our chosen one, Ye Feng, appeared, illuminating her world like a ray of light.

Ye Feng not only didn't look down on her, but also became her only friend during her childhood.

And then... the Pingnan Rebellion broke out.

She was no longer the courtesan's mother, but on her deathbed, she finally remembered that she was still a mother.

Upon seeing those people dressed in black committing a massacre, they decided to target Yue Siyi.

Clinging to her last shred of hope, she cried out Yue Siyi's true identity.

When the men in black learned that Yue Siyi was actually the daughter of the mastermind Lao Yue, they didn't quite believe it, but they still sent her to Lao Yue.

Yue Siyi survived the Pingnan Rebellion because of this father she had never met. But she felt no affection for him; on the contrary, she hated him intensely.

It wasn't because he didn't come to save her and her mother, but because he caused the death of her brother, Ye Feng.

Over the years, Yue Siyi has stayed by Lao Yue's side, pretending to be a well-behaved girl and feigning compliance.

In reality, she was always thinking about improving her cultivation level as soon as possible, and then killing Old Yue, the mastermind behind the Pingnan Rebellion, to avenge her brother Ye Feng.

Seeing this, Su Qi was speechless.

If you want revenge, why don't you just expose that Yue Fei was the mastermind behind the Pingnan Rebellion?

The Pingnan Rebellion more than ten years ago was a major case, and even the Central Plains sent people down to investigate.

But as Su Qi read on, he discovered why Yue Siyi didn't do that.

According to Yue Siyi's investigations over the years, this matter actually involves the Li clan, one of the eight ancient clans.

So the question arises: why would the ancient Li clan, located far away in Zhongzhou, target the small Ye family of Pingnan City?

The scroll didn't mention it, so Yue Siyi probably hadn't found out yet.

Next, we get to what's happening now.

Yue Chongshan recognized Ye Feng's talent and wanted to take him as his apprentice.

Yue Siyi accidentally saw the birthmark on Ye Feng's body and realized that he was her brother Ye Feng, who had died long ago.

The two have recognized each other, and Yue Siyi is preparing to help Ye Feng take revenge on his biological father.

Hiss... At this moment, even Su Qi felt a bit tricky.

Given Yue Siyi's personality—she's the kind of person who would kill her own father for Ye Feng—it seems incredibly difficult to get her to turn against Ye Feng.

Moreover, her love for Ye Feng seems to have penetrated to the bone.

The scroll mentions that the reason she bought the cultivation manual from Su Qi was not because she needed it, but because the manual came from Ye Feng.

Just for this reason, she's willing to pay double the price to buy it.

This is no longer just simple love, but infatuation.

It seems like their relationship is completely sealed off; even Archimedes couldn't pry it open.

Then... how about we just kill Yue Siyi?

Su Qi was pondering when there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Ruoxue, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Ruobingli's voice, Su Qi suddenly realized that he had been inside for quite a while.

Quickly pack up the scroll and go outside.

"Is something wrong?"

Seeing Su Qi come out, Ruobingli said with some worry.

"Ruoxue, if you have anything to say, you can tell your master. There's no need to hide away and bottle up your emotions."

Su Qi: ? ? ?

So, she thought I was hiding inside crying just now?

"I'm fine, you're overthinking it."

"Is it really okay?"

Su Qi ignored her, walked to the side and sat down to study Ye Feng's mental cultivation manual.

"If you have any questions, you can ask Master. Master also has insights into the cultivation of mental techniques."

Seeing that he was really alright, Ruobingli breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite him, resting her elbows on the table and looking at him with a smile.

Feeling the woman staring at him, Su Qi couldn't concentrate any longer. He put the scroll down, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

Have you ever heard the saying, "There are no filial sons at the bedside of a chronically ill parent"?

Although she had never heard of it before, it didn't stop Ruobingli from understanding the meaning of the sentence literally. She was just wondering why Su Qi asked such a question.

“You can tolerate me now, watching over me and taking care of me all the time. But what about in the long run? How long do you think you can keep this up? I am ultimately a nuisance, and I will never turn back or make any changes. Sooner or later you will get tired of me and want to get rid of this nuisance.”

Ruobingli thought about it and did not deny it.

“You’re right. People’s patience is limited. But Master is different. Master is a cultivator, and a cultivator’s perseverance is also very important. You don’t need to feel burdened by this. It’s also a form of cultivation for Master.”

For some reason, upon hearing that last sentence, Su Qi vaguely seemed to see a man with a bowl cut, wearing a green bodysuit, shouting something like "This is youth!" in front of him.

With a shudder, Su Qi shook his head to clear his mind of the extraneous thoughts and snorted coldly.

"You'll regret it when I slaughter all the righteous cultivators."

"Do you really want to become a great demon?" Ruobingli asked doubtfully.

"Correct!"

"Then why are you still reading this manual? You don't want to lose your true self, do you? You say you don't want others to save you, but you haven't given up on saving yourself. If that's the case, why don't you ask your master for help?"

Ruobingli thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Are you afraid of causing trouble for others? My Ruoxue is indeed a thoughtful girl. But don't feel guilty, it's only right for Master to help you."

“You…” Su Qi’s face flushed red, and he slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: “You stinking woman, stop being so self-righteous. I just don’t want to think that I still owe you when I kill you.”

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Seeing his proud and arrogant little face, Ruobingli smiled faintly.
