Possessed by my father, I was reborn and became the supreme ruler.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yueling's eyes lit up with surprise, a mixture of guilt and gratitude. "Master, you're so good to me, but I was so ignorant. I even gossiped about you behind your back. I deserve to die." "You little brat, you're being so formal with your master!" Situ Jiuxiao placed the precious pearl in Bai Yueling's hand and said earnestly, "..."

“You are my youngest disciple, you have been following me since you were about 10 years old, and I know your temperament best. How could I possibly hold a grudge against you?”

"Stop crying. Since you're going home in three days, go and prepare properly. You should bring some gifts for your family, shouldn't you?"

Bai Yueling was simple-minded to begin with, and after hearing Situ Jiuxiao's words, she was immediately grateful and nodded in agreement without even thinking.

Ye Yunjian felt a chill run down his spine, because he had witnessed such scenes countless times in his previous life.

Situ Jiuxiao's greatest skill is hypocrisy; he disguises himself perfectly in front of everyone.

In the eyes of his disciples, he was the Xuanmen Sect Master who protected the sect and provided a safe haven for his thousands of disciples.

To outsiders, he is a highly respected and powerful figure of his time, whose authority is amplified by his virtues.

He could also appear kind, gentle, and caring in front of his apprentices.

But no one knew how cruel and vicious he was!

If Bai Yueling were to agree to return home in three days, she would surely face certain death.

Although Ye Yunjian didn't know what was so special about Situ Jiuxiao's Xuanhuang Pearl, he was certain it wasn't something that could save his life.

If it were truly a life-saving item, how could my junior sister from my previous life have been harmed by a mere rogue cultivator?

Therefore, Ye Yunjian quickly interrupted:

"Master, I have a favor to ask. My junior sister's trip home to visit her family needs to be postponed."

"Why?" Master and disciple Jiuxiao's expressions immediately darkened, and they said in a deep voice:

"How can something that has already been decided be changed so easily? Besides, the news of Ling'er's return home has already been sent back to the Bai family. If it is changed, wouldn't her parents have been happy for nothing?"

Ye Yunjian knew from the beginning that getting Bai Yueling to reschedule her return home would not be an easy task.

This also means that getting Situ Jiuxiao to temporarily abandon his idea of ​​killing Bai Yueling is definitely not an easy task.

So seeing his unpleasant expression, she remained calm and said with feigned bitterness:

“Master, have you forgotten? I also grew up in the Bai family when I was a child. However, my life in the Bai family was not peaceful, so I have never had a good impression of the Bai family. Since I came to the sect, I have not been able to go back to visit them.”

"However, Ling'er's mother had been kind to me. When I heard that she was unwell, I realized that I had only remembered hatred and forgotten the kindness all these years, and had actually become an ungrateful person."

"I feel very guilty, so I wanted to go back to the Bai family with Ling'er. However, I need to start over with my cultivation technique, which will take at least two or three months. I was able to start over just now."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Ling'er to wait for me for three months, and then we will go back together. I hope Master can agree."

"What if I refuse?" Situ Jiuxiao asked coolly.

Ye Yunjian sighed softly, slowly raised his head, looked directly at Situ Jiuxiao, and said with feigned helplessness:

“Master, I must return home with Ling’er this time. If you do not allow me to postpone it, then I will not resume my cultivation for the time being. In any case, although my dantian is injured, it is not serious.”

"I'll find some gentle medicinal herbs to heal it properly, so the injury won't worsen. If I can find the 'Heavenly Frost Snow Lotus,' I can also heal the injury to my dantian."

"By the way, I heard that the Bai family happens to have a Heavenly Frost Snow Lotus in their collection. Now that I am my master's disciple, if I were to ask for it, I'm sure the Bai family would give my master the honor of bestowing the Heavenly Frost Snow Lotus upon me. In that case, I wouldn't have to start my cultivation technique all over again."

As he said this, he glanced at the herbal medicine placed to the side, feigned disgust, and said:

"After all, I really hate this medicine!"

Situ Jiuxiao's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze towards Ye Yunjian was filled with intense anger.

Ye Yunjian, however, did not back down at all, putting on a stubborn expression as if he were throwing a tantrum.

He certainly wouldn't back down, because he was threatening him!

He wanted to let Situ Jiuxiao know that if the extension was not granted, he would no longer drink the medicine, nor would he dissipate his cultivation to start over, making everything he had done go to waste.

Situ Jiuxiao's face was as cold as ice as he stared intently at Ye Yunjian. The might of the Xuanhuang Emperor pressed down on him like Mount Tai.

Ye Yunjian was not afraid. In his previous life, he had also attained the Xuanhuang realm before his death. So what was the power of the Xuanhuang realm?

The one I want to kill in this life is you, the beast in human form, Xuanhuang!

However, he did not choose to confront Situ Jiuxiao directly. Instead, he bowed deeply and said, "Ling'er's mother treats me like her own flesh and blood. Please grant me my filial piety!"

"My own flesh and blood, filial piety!" Upon hearing these two words, Situ Jiuxiao's expression gradually softened.

In the end, he smiled slightly and nodded, and the oppressive aura of the Xuan Emperor immediately dissipated, making the previously oppressive atmosphere in the room much lighter!

Situ Jiuxiao looked at Ye Yunjian carefully, then slowly stroked his long beard: "Jian'er, considering your filial piety, there's no rush for Ling'er to visit her family. So be it!"

He looked at Bai Yueling with kind eyes: "Girl, you can set off with your senior brother three months later. I will write a letter to your parents to explain."

Ye Yunjian stood up, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master!"

Although Situ Jiuxiao's expression softened, he looked at the medicine bowl again: "Jian'er, your master has already granted your request for this medicine?"

Without wasting words, Ye Yunjian picked up the medicine bowl, raised it in front of Situ Jiuxiao, and drank it all in one gulp.

He didn't have even the last drop left.

At this moment, the words of Situ Yunxiao from his previous life still echoed in his ears.

"Not a single drop of the soul-suppressing medicine I've given you over the years has been wasted!"

He was tormented, but he had to endure it so that his junior sister would drink it!

I must endure until I personally kill this hypocritical wolf in human skin!

"Yes, you should take the medicine while it's hot so that your progress in relearning will be faster." Situ Jiuxiao nodded in satisfaction. "Actually, I also want to tell you that I have always regarded you as my own flesh and blood."

Ye Yunjian wiped the medicine from the corner of his mouth, lowered his head, and remained silent.

"It's rare that you can understand your teacher's good intentions." Situ Jiuxiao then looked at the purple full moon outside the skylight. "Yesterday, the Spirit Fire Cave was engulfed in flames, and some people spread rumors that you are the reincarnation of the Fire Dragon Clan's World-Destroying Spirit King. What a joke!"

The atmosphere in the room became even more oppressive. Situ Jiuxiao's golden Xuanhuo pattern on his brow suddenly ignited: "How dare you say that my disciple, Situ Jiuxiao's disciple, is the reincarnation of the World-Destroying Spirit King and the Xuanmo Supreme? This is outrageous!"
