Chapter 192: Isn’t Your Dao Companion Qin Feilong?
Ming Ye Sect.
It’s a sect I haven’t heard of, yet such a gifted young girl was born from it.
Xie Yanning thought, and couldn’t help but persuade, “Do you want to join the Sword Sect? The number one great sect in the Upper Realm. As long as you join, I can guarantee you will enjoy the same resources and treatment as me.”
“I even think the resources you will have will be better than mine.”
After all, an Innate Ice Spirit Root is so rare.
Although Xie Yanning could feel that the Innate Ice Spirit Root within Ming Zhaoshuang had impurities, causing her to only be able to utilize the effects of a top-grade Ice Spirit Root.
But Ming Zhaoshuang came from an inconspicuous small sect, and the education and resources she received were definitely not as good as hers. Yet, Ming Zhaoshuang had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage at an age comparable to hers, which was enough to show that these impurities could be overcome by her.
Therefore, Xie Yanning genuinely wanted Ming Zhaoshuang to join the Sword Sect.
Every sect wants to snatch up heavenly prodigies.
The Sword Sect extended an olive branch, even promising treatment equal to that of the Sword Sect Senior Sister. Anyone with a brain would eagerly accept.
It’s just a pity that Ming Zhaoshuang’s brain has a pit in it.
She did not agree.
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “The Sword Sect is not my destination, but I believe that our Ming Ye Sect will be yours.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Yanning’s eyebrows rose, finding it somewhat interesting, “How can you know that I would give up the Sword Sect, the number one great sect in the world, to join your inconspicuous small sect?”
As she spoke, she cast a Cleansing Spell, cleaning the bloodstains all over her body.
However, the tattered Xi Lan gauze skirt couldn’t be compensated for, revealing her fair and slender wrists, involuntarily giving people a sense of pity.
Ming Zhaoshuang smiled at Xie Yanning, the red mole at the corner of her eye exceptionally alluring.
“Why do you think our Ming Ye Sect is an inconspicuous small sect? Do you believe that in just a hundred years, the name of our Ming Ye Sect will resonate throughout the Thirty-Six Heavens?”
She said it calmly, as if she were simply making a joke with Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning’s gaze paused slightly, and she found herself believing it a little.
Ming Zhaoshuang said to Xie Yanning again, “Xie Yanning, you don’t need to make a decision right now. We have plenty of time.”
After all, Ming Zhaoshuang was currently only at the Nascent Soul stage, not enough for Xie Yanning to defeat with a single palm strike.
Moreover, Ming Ye Sect was only created half a year ago and hadn’t even been reported to Qingyun Tower or registered with Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. How could it be compared to the world’s number one sect, the Sword Sect?
Although she saved her, she couldn’t hold it over her head as a favor.
But Ming Zhaoshuang believed that in the near future, without her introduction, Xie Yanning would go to Ming Ye Sect on her own.
Xie Yanning smiled, only to see Ming Zhaoshuang hand her a Breath Concealing Talisman.
She said, “We are in the Demon Realm right now, so you should conceal your human aura.”
Xie Yanning accepted it and affixed it to herself.
This Breath Concealing Talisman wasn’t drawn by herself; it was given to her by Ming Chenxing.
It was drawn by her father, Zhen Hanliu, so its effect was naturally beyond doubt.
Xie Yanning felt the spiritual flow converge in her palm. The spiritual power, which should have been fire-elemental, actually transformed into fire-elemental demonic power.
This was not just about exposing her; it wouldn’t be a problem even if she were said to be from the Demon Realm.
Xie Yanning’s eyebrows lit up, and she couldn’t help but ask, “What is your relationship with Rim of Dusk? How do you have talismans from their Former Palace Master? This is a treasure that is hard to find in the world.”
There was even an Explosion Talisman from Talisman Saint Wei Shuo.
It’s important to know that Wei Shuo has been deceased for over ten thousand years. Her personality was carefree, and most of the talismans she drew were for non-combat purposes like Shrink Talismans, Exchange Talismans, and Invisibility Talismans. Explosion Talismans were exceedingly rare.
Xie Yanning believed that only Rim of Dusk could possess such a collection.
But who knew that Ming Zhaoshuang wasn’t from Rim of Dusk, but a disciple of the obscure Ming Ye Sect.
This was truly perplexing.
Ming Zhaoshuang did not intend to hide her background, only saying, “Zhen Hanliu is my father by blood. As for Rim of Dusk, they will likely recommend me to be the next Saintess.”
After all, the original book recorded that she became the Saintess of Rim of Dusk and shamelessly tried to get close to Qin Feilong. However, Qin Feilong haughtily refused her, and in the end, she could only return to Rim of Dusk with exhaustion, accompanied by ice and snow.
But Ming Zhaoshuang did not approve of such an ending. Even if Rim of Dusk truly recommended her to be the Saintess, she would not willingly go to the Dragon Domain for a marriage alliance.
If Feng He could venture into the Dragon Domain, and Feng Budu could venture into the Dragon Domain, why couldn’t she?
Xie Yanning was shocked to hear this, “Then why didn’t you choose to become the Saintess of Rim of Dusk, but instead chose to be a mere disciple in Ming Ye Sect?”
The status of Rim of Dusk in the Upper Realm was even higher than that of the Sword Sect.
Xie Yanning did not expect Ming Zhaoshuang to be Zhen Hanliu’s daughter, nor did she expect her to deny being from Rim of Dusk.
Ming Zhaoshuang smiled and slowly said, “Because I do not accept fate.”
I do not accept the fate that the Heavenly Dao has set for me, nor the fate that Rim of Dusk has arranged for me.
I only accept the fate I choose for myself.
Ming Zhaoshuang continued, “Then I also want to know, Xie Yanning, as a Senior Sister of the Sword Sect, why did you come to the Demon Realm for no reason to slay their Fifth Prince? This is no small matter. Even with your high status in the Sword Sect, it would be difficult to protect you.”
After all, this was already a major event for a realm.
Although the Sword Sect was the number one great sect in the Upper Realm, it would not bear such pressure to protect a single disciple.
Even if Xie Yanning had an Innate Fire Spirit Root, it wouldn’t be possible.
In the original book, after committing such a grave crime, Xie Yanning was confined to the Sword Tomb by the Sword Sect for over ten years, until the next Nine Provinces Grand Competition was about to begin, at which point the Sword Sect finally released her.
For a Sword Sect disciple like Xie Yanning, there was no reason for her to do such a thing.
Unless there was a reason she absolutely had to.
She answered so frankly that Xie Yanning had nothing to hide.
She said, “My Dao Companion, A Zhou, was killed by him. I am simply avenging him. I came for one person and will leave after killing one person. It is not without reason, nor was it an impulsive act.”
My… Dao Companion…
Ming Zhaoshuang: “???”
Wasn’t your Dao Companion Qin Feilong?
How could there be someone else!
Those simple four words struck Ming Zhaoshuang dumbfounded.
No, Xie Yanning has a Dao Companion.
And judging by how Xie Yanning was willing to venture alone into the Demon Realm and kill the Fifth Prince of the Demon Race for her Dao Companion named A Zhou, it could be seen that she deeply cherished her Dao Companion.
And that old thing, the Heavenly Dao, was still trying to connect her and Qin Feilong with a red thread.
Truly shameless, utterly without bounds!
Xie Yanning looked at Ming Zhaoshuang’s disbelieving expression and misinterpreted her meaning. She chuckled softly,
“You are still young, you may not understand why I would do such a thing for my Dao Companion. But for me, this matter cannot be ignored, and this person must be killed. If I truly perish here, I will have no regrets.”
Ming Zhaoshuang held her forehead, thinking that it wasn’t that she didn’t believe Xie Yanning would do such a thing for her Dao Companion, but rather that she couldn’t believe Xie Yanning actually had a Dao Companion other than Qin Feilong.
No wonder the Heavenly Dao said nothing about Xie Yanning coming to the Demon Realm to kill their Fifth Prince.
It was to conceal Xie Yanning’s relationship.
As expected of the Heavenly Dao, even creating a narrative of virginity, and hiding the fact that Xie Yanning had been in a relationship.
