The next second, she raised her fingertip, and a blood-red aura erupted directly from Yu Lingyue's body.

Yu Lingyue was horrified to discover that her spiritual power was leaking out of her control.

The beastly image formed behind Yu Lingyue and roared at Mu Xianxian.

"Red Taoist True Essence..."

Mu Xianxian murmured to herself. As a great cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending Realm, she had enough insight to see through this.

The story of the Crimson Glutton is not a secret among the four major sects.

Then, with a casual wave of her hand, Mu Xianxian caused the illusory figure behind Yu Lingyue to disappear, and the spiritual energy returned to Yu Lingyue's body.

At this moment, Yu Lingyue couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She felt that everything about her was being controlled by the person in front of her.

This feeling is so unsettling.

At this moment, Mu Xianxian's gaze turned to the collapsed mountain peak not far away.

"It seems the Second Elder has misjudged you. You must have been through a lot. Tell me... what happened?"

As the protagonist, Yu Lingyue's temperament was naturally beyond that of ordinary people. She quickly adjusted and began to explain the whole picture from her perspective:

"All of this is thanks to our senior brother..."

After a while, Yu Lingyue finished explaining.

Qin Yangjun was dumbfounded.

It turns out that Ling'er, that idiot, delivered the wrong thing.

She was asked to give it to Hua Yaoyao, but she gave it to Yu Lingyue instead.

The breath-holding technique prepared for Hua Yaoyao naturally ended up in Yu Lingyue's hands.

Because of this one mistake, everything that followed began to unfold in ways that Qin Yangjun had not anticipated, and completely deviated from the original plot.

Moreover, Yu Lingyue's narration was so vivid that Qin Yangjun almost believed himself to be a righteous role model who hated evil and was resourceful.

To put it simply, Yu Lingyue's perspective is:

He discovered the traitor within the demonic sect and began planning long ago. He then had Yu Lingyue cooperate to lure out the demonic sect and find out their purpose in infiltrating the sect, ultimately wiping them out in one fell swoop.

This was not exactly the same as his original plan, but it was also completely unrelated.

This was a path that Qin Yangjun had never imagined.

Yu Lingyue also explained how she broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and how she acquired the power of the Beast Shadow Dharma Image.

That's because after falling off the cliff, she discovered a massive skeleton, and the blood poison permeating the cliff was emanating from this skeleton.

In the center of the skeleton was a spherical energy cluster. She was attracted to the energy cluster, touched it, and absorbed it directly.

She also broke through as a result, even directly reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. Even though her strength had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the energy in her body had not yet been exhausted.

It seems that I acquired this Beast Shadow Technique after breaking through to the next level.

So it was you who pushed the protagonist to become so strong?

It's important to know that in the book, Yu Lingyue only broke through her limits after returning from the Ancient Spirit Ruins and experiencing an invasion by demonic beasts.

Now, not only has she broken through ahead of schedule, but she has also absorbed the Crimson Gluttonous True Essence, a super spiritual object. In the future, her potential will only be higher, and her strength will be no weaker than that in the book.

Qin Yangjun vaguely sensed that his fate of being burned like a sky lantern was already beckoning him.

Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun let out a sigh of sorrow.

Alas! Heaven has forsaken me!

But what's done is done, and there's no going back.

Frustrated as I may be, life goes on.

Moreover, according to Yu Lingyue's account, the previous questions have all been answered.

The tremors at the cave entrance weren't from any celestial beast; they were from Yu Lingyue breaking through her limits.

Cheng Lieqing was puzzled by the size of the remains, but it turned out that the one placed on the altar was not the Crimson Taotie that died in battle.

That was probably a child of the Crimson Glutton. When it was sealed, the little Crimson Glutton should still be alive, otherwise, if it was just a skeleton, why would it need so many chains to seal it?

These coincidences actually revealed a truth that was not mentioned in the original book, something Qin Yangjun had not expected.

After hearing Yu Lingyue's explanation, the new students looked at Qin Yangjun with even more admiration, and some even felt guilty for misunderstanding Qin Yangjun before.

Hua Yaoyao was among them, and she also felt a pang of sadness, wondering why her senior brother had chosen Yu Lingyue to cooperate instead of her.

She was clearly stronger than Yu Lingyue, and this plan was only known to Yu Lingyue, not to her. Could it be that Yu Lingyue was more trustworthy than her?

Or is it that my senior brother... likes this woman?

Recalling everything that had happened before, Hua Yaoyao felt that the possibility was very high.

The thought of this caused Hua Yaoyao a pang of pain in her heart.

I've only known him for a short time, while I've known my senior for much longer. I was here first, so why should I be the one to get this treatment?

Thinking of this, Hua Yaoyao looked at Yu Lingyue with some resentment.

Just then, Yu Lingyue secretly glanced at Qin Yangjun's profile.

Hua Yaoyao's intuition as a woman was immediately triggered.

She also has feelings for her senior brother?!

Chapter Thirty-Two: Surprise

Yu Lingyue's perception of her surroundings was extraordinary, so Hua Yaoyao's gaze naturally caught her attention.

Given Yu Lingyue's personality, she should have turned her head away and avoided eye contact with Hua Yaoyao.

But this time, for some reason, she didn't choose to avoid it.

She stared into Hua Yaoyao's eyes without the slightest fear.

In fact, anyone with eyes could see the feelings their senior sister had for their senior brother.

But Yu Lingyue had also come to a realization: there was no such thing as first come, first served.

You have to fight for your own happiness!

Upon seeing this, Hua Yaoyao was taken aback. She hadn't expected her junior sister to have such a personality, but Hua Yaoyao wasn't one to give up easily.

A mere junior sister dares to challenge her senior sister?!

Qian Xiaoyu, who was standing nearby, keenly noticed this scene. She seemed to see an invisible lightning bolt flash in the eyes of the two of them.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Senior Brother, you really are a charming man.

However, Qin Yangjun was unaware of the standoff between the two.

Because his older sister placed both of her hands on his shoulders, and her hands were slowly applying pressure.

He was thus pressed down into a chair by his sister, while Mu Xianxian lowered her head slightly and whispered in Qin Yangjun's ear, revealing an extremely "kind" smile.

"So that's how it is. You trust Yu Lingyue more than your own sister."

Mu Xianxian's tone carried an unspeakable meaning.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Qin Yangjun actually sensed a hint of sourness in his voice.

However, Qin Yangjun quickly dismissed this idea from his mind.

What are you thinking? That's your own sister.

Although they are not related by blood.

But she was really strong; it hurt so much...

As Qin Yangjun's older sister, Mu Xianxian believed she knew everything about Qin Yangjun.

But ever since the last competition, she had a vague feeling that Qin Yangjun was hiding something from her.

This made her very unhappy, as if her younger brother was wary of her.

This time, not only did she not tell her the plan, but she also made Yu Lingyue cooperate with her plan completely.

Ultimately, Yu Lingyue is more trustworthy than her older sister.

Thinking about this made Mu Xianxian feel even more uneasy; this was the first time in hundreds of years that she had felt such emotions.

She didn't know what it was, but it just made her very uncomfortable, and a feeling of irritation spread through her heart.

She couldn't help but glance at Yu Lingyue beside her.

What's so good about this girl? How can her younger brother trust her so much?

At this moment, Qin Yangjun, who was being pressed down on the chair, could feel his sister's grip tightening, his bones cracking, and the pain making his mouth twitch.

My older sister's way of thinking is always so unique, and even her angles of anger are so refreshingly unconventional.

No, we're going to die, we have to reveal our 'trump card'.

"As for my sister, I just want to share her burdens."

Despite the pain, Qin Yangjun squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, then raised his hand, revealing a slip of paper.

"This is a surprise for my sister."

"surprise?"

These two words brought Mu Xianxian back to her senses. She released Qin Yangjun's shoulder, took the note from his hand, and unfolded it to find a painting done in ink wash.

"what is this?"

Mu Xianxian couldn't help but frown.

The writing is crooked and messy, neither resembling characters nor a drawing; it looks more like the scribbles of a three-year-old child.

She didn't understand why Qin Yangjun had given her this.

Qin Yangjun seemed to have read Mu Xianxian's mind, and he coughed awkwardly twice.

There was nothing he could do; he simply couldn't get used to using a calligraphy brush.
