Upon saying this, Qingxiao Sword Venerable felt a sense of self-satisfaction.
It’s true that experience comes with age.
This method of his can be described as killing three birds with one stone!
Ye Wu was originally infatuated with Ling Jue, and her sudden madness this time was also because she had been waiting for Ling Jue’s response for too long.
So.
Why not just let them become Taoist Companions.
Ye Wu would have gotten Ling Jue, and any resentment should disappear.
This incident would then be put to rest.
This is the first point.
With Ling Jue having a Taoist Companion, naturally, there would be no chance between him and Huanhuan anymore!
This is the second point.
After becoming Taoist Companions, Ye Wu can also provide many benefits to Ling Jue.
Now yelling and threatening, Ye Liuyun would become Ling Jue’s supporter.
This is the third point.
It’s simply a brilliant idea!
Ling Jue looked at Qingxiao Sword Venerable in disbelief: “Master!
Become Taoist Companions with Ye Wu?
I absolutely refuse, Master!”
He painfully glanced at Lin Huanhuan.
The person he liked was only Lin Huanhuan.
How could he form Taoist Companion with someone else?
“Unwilling?
Then return the Nine-grade Xuan Ginseng and all those listed items yourself!” Qingxiao Sword Venerable snorted coldly.
Ling Jue couldn’t help but struggle.
Ye Wu watched the confrontation between the master and disciple, completely stunned!
Form Taoist Companions with her?
Did she agree?
Wouldn’t she find it disgusting?
Beside her, Qingxuan’s hand gently clenched into a fist.
Qingxiao Sword Venerable!
He wants Ling Jue and Ye Wu to form Taoist Companions.
What about Ye Wu, would she agree?
The answer in Qingxuan’s mind was bleak.
Ye Wu’s feelings for Ling Jue are not something that could be let go in a day or two.
Now.
With the opportunity to be with Ling Jue right before her, could she give it up?
Could she resist this temptation?
“That settles it, I’m making the decision.
Ling Jue and Ye Wu will pick an auspicious day to become Taoist Companions.
Once they become Taoist Companions, their lives will be intertwined, and they should stop dwelling on these petty matters.
Also, let’s find a chance to dissolve Ye Wu’s several Furnaces; as long as she dissolves them, Ling Jue won’t mind her past.
Right, Ling Jue?” Qingxiao Sword Venerable looked sternly at Ling Jue.
Ling Jue gritted his teeth, his expression was resolved: “Yes!”
Although Ye Wu is such a filthy woman.
Although he already has feelings for his junior.
But.
To save his junior, he was willing to do anything.
No matter how painful or desperate it might be, for Huanhuan, he could endure it!
Ling Jue looked at Ye Wu, his voice filled with despair: “Fine, you win.
You’re forcing me, indeed driving me into a corner.
So, I agree with you, I will form Taoist Companions with you!
Are you happy now?
My junior is innocent, stop making things difficult for her!”
Saying these words, Ling Jue felt like he was the male protagonist of a tragic drama, deeply moved by himself.
The sect elders fell silent.
Ye Wu’s infatuation with Ling Jue was common knowledge.
If Ye Wu accepted such a result, what more could they say.
Ye Liuyun glanced nervously at Ye Wu, worried his daughter might suddenly lose her sense again!
Ye Wu looked at Ling Jue’s confident demeanor, almost on the brink of vomiting.
Ye Wu said coldly: “Become my Taoist Companion?”
“Yes.” Ling Jue said through clenched teeth.
Ye Wu rolled her eyes exaggeratedly: “Are you worthy?
Dissolve the Furnace, are you worthy?
Want to escape the debt, are you worthy???
Let me tell you, you piece of garbage living off others, you don’t even compare to one finger of Qingxuan!”
Ye Wu directly pulled Qingxuan’s hand: “See?
Not even a single finger!”
She actually seriously bent Qingxuan’s fingers, allowing him to show Ling Jue his middle finger.
Qingxuan didn’t know the meaning of the gesture, just stared at Ye Wu in a trance.
What did she say?
She said Ling Jue couldn’t compare to one of his fingers?
But he was the one she had been infatuated with for so long!
“Ye Wu!!” Ling Jue’s face immediately twisted: “You better comply!
Otherwise, you won’t have a second chance to become Taoist Companions with me for the rest of your life!”
Ye Wu sneered: “Do you really think you’re something valuable?
I never knew the Cangming Sword Sect had such shameless people!
Not wanting to return my things, fine, but now you’re clinging onto me, still begging for support.
What, have you gotten addicted to begging?
Unable to walk freely already?”
“Ye Wu!!” Ling Jue’s eyes suddenly flared with hatred, he drew his treasure sword, ready to fight Ye Wu fiercely.
He just unsheathed the sword when a cold snort rang out.
His sword instantly ended up in Ye Liuyun’s hands.
“Mom!
The gemstones on his treasure sword were given by me!
The materials to forge the sword, I also provided!” Ye Wu quickly said.
Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow: “Is that so?”
Her hand moved slightly.
The treasure sword was forcibly severed from its connection with Ling Jue!
Ling Jue suddenly spat a mouthful of blood, staring at Ye Liuyun in disbelief: “Venerable Ye, this is my life-bound treasure sword!
How can you bully the weak like this!”
“Your life-bound treasure sword!
Then why were all the resources to make it from our Joy Sect?” Ye Liuyun said indifferently.
Ling Jue’s face changed, then he looked pleadingly to Qingxiao Sword Venerable.
Qingxiao Sword Venerable’s expression also darkened, he glared at Ling Jue.
This disciple of his turned out to be so useless, couldn’t even coax Ye Wu properly!
“What do you all want, really?” Qingxiao Sword Venerable couldn’t help but ask.
“My daughter has long given the choices.” Ye Liuyun said flatly, “Return the items, or Ling Jue pays with his life.
Or, extract Lin Huanhuan’s blood as compensation for the Xuan Ginseng, and Ling Jue can slowly return the rest of the items.
What’s so difficult to understand?”
The other elders remained silent.
They vividly remembered how, fifty years ago, Ye Liuyun went on a rampage and single-handedly leveled over a hundred mountain peaks.
They wouldn’t want to be flattened like those peaks!
Moreover.
This madwoman wasn’t acting entirely irrational; she had reason on her side.
Sword Master Lingxi sighed: “Qingxiao, Liuyun’s demands aren’t really excessive.
For ordinary people, extracting all their blood would be a death sentence, but Lin Huanhuan is a Cultivator.
Extracting her blood would merely reduce her cultivation, not threaten her life.
As for Ling Jue, he shouldn’t have taken so many things, and committing theft this time.
If we truly investigate, just the value of the Nine-grade Xuan Ginseng alone would be enough to sentence him to death.”
Qingxiao Sword Venerable suddenly fell silent.
“Master, I—I don’t want to shed blood!” Lin Huanhuan suddenly began to softly cry: “I…
I haven’t done anything, why should I bear the consequences.”
Ling Jue blankly stared at Lin Huanhuan.
So.
Huanhuan’s meaning was for him to die?
Ye Wu watched curiously as she looked from one to the other, wondering if this couple, who was once so loving in stories, might turn against each other this time?
Ye Wu’s eyes flickered, and suddenly she spoke: “Actually.
A typical injury wouldn’t require a Nine-grade Xuan Ginseng, I took the Xuan Ginseng to help Qingxuan restore his meridians.
How did Lin Huanhuan coincidentally have broken meridians as well?”
Lin Huanhuan paused for a moment, then weakly said: “I made some mistakes during cultivation and injured my meridians.”
“Oh?
Such a severe injury, yet Lin seems to look perfectly fine, without a hint of impact?
And this moment, surely there hasn’t been time for you to absorb the Ginseng’s medicinal power?”
Ye Wu’s voice hadn’t even finished.
Ye Liuyun snorted coldly, she stretched out her hand, instantly drawing Lin Huanhuan into her palm.
