You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

The figure of the beautiful woman, though illusory, floated in mid-air, her head lowered, her eyes quietly watching her disheveled disciple.

Lin Chen looked at her with anticipation.

His eyes were so sincere it was frightening; it was as if he had the words "Master, avenge me" written all over his face.

Seeing Lin Chen's appearance, the beautiful woman felt little moved; instead, she sighed inwardly.

This kid does have some talent. If he had been properly trained in the past, he might have become quite successful.

That's why she chose Lin Chen to reside in this broken ring in the first place. But talent is talent, and reality is reality.

The current situation is clearly a dead end for anyone with eyes to see.

She knew perfectly well what Lin Chen wanted her to do.

All she wanted was for her, a former powerful figure, to teach Gu Changyuan a lesson, help him regain his lost face, and trample that high and mighty Holy Son underfoot.

Is that even possible?

The beautiful woman's gaze lingered through the stone cave, sensing the terrifying aura that remained on the distant mountain peak.

That Gu Changyuan is simply a monster.

Putting aside the immortal sects he stands behind, the strength he himself has displayed is enough to frighten people.

She is now nothing more than a remnant soul, or to put it bluntly, a wandering ghost that could be blown away by a gust of wind.

It was not easy to accumulate this little bit of soul power along the way, and I may not even be able to maintain my physical form for long after I have just woken up.

Asking her to risk her life against a prodigy like Gu Changyuan for the sake of such a foolish disciple is a joke.

If we act recklessly, we might cause some trouble for Gu Changyuan, but what will the cost be?

Her lingering soul vanished completely, turning to ashes and disappearing without even the chance to be reincarnated.

Even if Lin Chen is her disciple and her hope for rebuilding her physical body, in the face of her own life, this so-called master-disciple relationship is nothing more than that.

Where there is life, there is hope.

What use is an apprentice if you're already dead?

Thinking of this, the slight hesitation in the beautiful woman's eyes completely disappeared.

She looked at Lin Chen, her expression still gentle, but a hint of coldness had crept into her eyes.

Although I don't want to dampen the child's enthusiasm, there are some things that need to be made clear as soon as possible, lest he become arrogant and reckless and actually go to his death and implicate himself.

"Ugh."

A long sigh echoed in the narrow stone cave.

The beautiful woman looked at Lin Chen, trying to keep her tone calm.

"Lin Chen, I know you're suffering, and I know you're filled with hatred."

"With your current strength, you are no match for Gu Changyuan. Forget about taking revenge, you probably wouldn't even have a chance to make a move if you stood in front of him right now."

"We can't possibly win. Let's just be patient and accept the current situation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen, who had been excited, froze on the spot.

He looked at his master with a bewildered expression.

He even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, or if the master in front of him was a fake.

In his original vision, the plot shouldn't have been like this at all!

Master has woken up! What an incredible cheat code!

According to the usual storybook tropes, when the master wakes up and sees his disciple being bullied, he will definitely be furious, then impart unparalleled divine skills, lead him to storm the mountain gate, and beat that Gu Changyuan to a pulp.

I'll pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for all the grievances I've suffered these past few days!

Make those who look down on him, make Qin Shuang who betrayed him, kneel before him and repent!

He had been eagerly awaiting his master's arrival, but the very first thing he did was tell him to be a coward.

To make himself a useless piece of trash? How could anyone accept that!

Lin Chen felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and his once fiery heart instantly cooled down.

"Master, what did you say? You're telling me to endure it?"

Lin Chen's voice trembled, and he looked extremely disappointed.

He suddenly realized that even if his master woke up, he couldn't help him.

Faced with such an absolute disparity in strength, even his mysterious and unpredictable master chose to bow his head, which was even more painful for him than having his bones broken by Gu Changyuan.

This shows that Gu Changyuan is so strong that it makes people despair, and there is no hope for him to take revenge.

"No, I don't believe it!"

Lin Chen lowered his head, his hands gripping the stone bed beneath him tightly, hatred surging and crashing in his chest, causing him excruciating pain.

If we just endure this, what about all the suffering he's endured these past few days? What about crawling back in the pouring rain? A joke, isn't it?

Lin Chen suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the beautiful woman, his voice hoarse.

"Master, is there really no other way?!"

"Am I just supposed to let this go after I've been beaten like this and humiliated like a dog? I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled at all!!"

He roared it out.

Her voice was trembling with tears, and she had a stubborn streak that wouldn't give up until she hit a brick wall.

midair.

Seeing Lin Chen's hysterical state, the beautiful woman was not moved. Instead, she sighed helplessly, and this time, her eyes changed.

If there was some pity in her eyes just now, her gaze now revealed undisguised disgust, and even a hint of amusement.

Is this kid's brain filled with mush? Does he even understand the situation?

Although the beautiful woman didn't say anything, she kept muttering to herself.

She rolled her eyes inwardly.

"This idiot, doesn't he want to listen to the nonsense he's spouting?"

"Of course there's a way. The strong prey on the weak, and the principle is all about fists. If your cultivation is higher than his, even if you take a dump on his neck, he'll still smile and hand you toilet paper."

"As long as you possess sufficient cultivation, you can take revenge however you want. You can tear him to pieces without anyone stopping you. But the question is, do you have that kind of power?"

The beautiful woman floated in the air, looking down at her arrogant disciple, her speechless frustration reaching its peak.

She really wanted to pry open the boy's head to see if water had gotten inside.

Who is Gu Changyuan? She has seen him clearly and felt him very clearly in the ring these past few days. He is a genius in the Nascent Soul stage!

Not only is he of noble status, but he is also the holy son of this vast sect, enjoying the best resources and wielding the finest magical treasures.

More importantly, his own strength is truly formidable. He reached the Nascent Soul realm at such a young age. What does that mean?

Even in ancient times, he would be considered a top-tier prodigy. Even the usually arrogant elders would have to kneel before him, not daring to utter a sound.

That sense of oppression, that imposing presence in every gesture—can just anyone possess that? Look at yourself.

The beautiful woman's gaze swept over Lin Chen. A Qi Refining stage waste, yet he dared to ask if there was any way to deal with a Nascent Soul stage expert.
