There was no other way; she had been in a dark cave for too long, and she hoped to have someone she liked by her side, so that she wouldn't feel that loneliness and solitude anymore.

However, her requirements were not simple. At the very least, they had to be at a similar level to her in terms of cultivation. But after all this time, the only ones who could fight her for hundreds of rounds without being defeated, besides the four emperors who had joined forces, were this little girl.

During the conversation, Gong Yerong's bare right foot slammed heavily onto Lin Xueyi's fist, and the ear-piercing roar that erupted instantly caused the people below to cover their ears in pain.

Even Mo Ningyan and Lin Xuerong forced themselves to circulate their energy to resist the sudden roar, while also looking at the two people in mid-air in shock. They originally thought that the Grandmaster realm was the most outstanding existence.

But looking at the two of them now, they realized that the difference in strength between Grandmasters could be vast. At least in the fight between Lin Xueyi and the other white-haired girl just now, it was clear that if they were to fight, they wouldn't be a match for either of them.

But when did such a master appear in this martial arts world, and one of them was even his own sister (wife)?

As if by some unspoken agreement, Mo Ningyan and Lin Xuerong exchanged a glance, then snorted at each other before turning their heads to the other side.

In mid-air, Lin Xueyi shook her hands. The fight had just taken a toll on her hands, which were still a little numb. After all, she had hit her opponent's foot with her hands, so it was clear that she had come out on the losing end.

Gong Yerong curled her round little toes a few times, as if she hadn't gained any advantage in the collision.

"Good, good, little girl, you're very good, very good. But my warm-up has only just begun. How about we play a few more rounds?"

Lin Xueyi twirled her longsword, creating a few sword flourishes, and slightly raised her hand to indicate that she was ready.

"Well, it's a deal. If I can defeat you, you'll obediently follow me. Don't worry, I'll treat you very well."

"Ha, it's broad daylight, better to stop dreaming and just find a place to retire peacefully, wouldn't that be better?"

As she spoke, her hands were not idle either. With her words carried by the wind, Lin Xueyi took a step forward. As she swung her long sword, a long rainbow appeared. The people below seemed to see a monstrous wave coming from the sword, and within this wave, there were points of cold light, just like a galaxy.

"In my drunken stupor, I know not who the heavens are; a boat full of sweet dreams presses down on the Milky Way."

"Haha, well done, well done!"

Barefoot, he walked on the waves, and from within his arms, a gigantic hand rose up, saying, "Your towering waves will be suppressed by my palm."

One side surged forward with overwhelming momentum, its towering waves seemingly carrying a galaxy of stars, while the other side pressed forward relentlessly, its palms seemingly holding the stars of the heavens and earth.

With a deafening roar, and before everyone's eyes, the two terrifying attacks collided instantly. But there was no violent explosion as they had imagined; instead, it was as if nothing was there at all, just constantly compressing and even trying to merge together.

Everyone was utterly astonished by this bizarre scene. The attack from these two had just shaken the heavens and earth, causing violent fluctuations in the surrounding space when the attack was launched.

This terrifying attack, upon impact, didn't produce any shockwave; instead, the particles continued to merge, compress, and even twist together. It seemed impossible no matter how you looked at it.

As for Lin Xuerong and Mo Ningyan, they were naturally staring intently at the giant sphere in front of them, which was shrinking continuously as it intertwined and merged, and suddenly felt the world-destroying power within it.

"Everyone lie down, lie down now!"

As the two were talking, they no longer cared who the other was. Almost simultaneously, they used all their cultivation to create a barrier for everyone. This happened right after they finished preparing.

A deafening roar rang in everyone's ears, and the next second, they felt their bodies sink heavily downwards.

Now, turning to the energy sphere that was constantly merging, Lin Xueyi stared intently at this seemingly harmless energy, but her heart pounded as it shrank. Had she gone too far?

The moment this thought arose, the immense energy began to boil, like water that had been boiled. The next instant, massive fluctuations violently shook the energy body, as if a giant beast were shaking its cage, poised to break free at any moment.

Seeing this, Lin Xueyi felt a sense of foreboding. But it wasn't over yet. The constantly fluctuating energy suddenly stopped; the ferocious beast seemed to have temporarily ceased its actions due to exhaustion. At this moment, Lin Xueyi's heart was in her throat. She instinctively raised her hands, using all her strength to form a protective aura in front of her to block the impending attack.

At that moment, a tiny point of light gradually appeared inside the energy sphere that had been shrinking but had stopped moving. This point of light continued to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye until it erupted with an unprecedented roar in this world.

In an instant, the sky seemed to mourn and the earth to howl. The massive explosion, like a natural disaster, slammed the earth down by half a meter, and the sky seemed to be torn apart by the attack.

The explosion, which resembled the end of the world, made everyone below feel the threat of death. However, because they were still some distance away and there were two grandmaster-level experts protecting them, at least no one was seriously injured.

When the world returned to calm, everyone looked up at the two girls in mid-air again. At this moment, they no longer dared to underestimate these two young girls.

As for Lin Xueyi's previous domineering attitude, the crowd, who had initially harbored resentment, now knew what to do after seeing the dust covering their bodies and the ground that had just been lowered by half a meter.

Lin Xueyi raised her sword, coldly facing the white-haired girl who had retreated to a distance. The vigilance in her eyes had not diminished. The attack just now had made them both aware of each other's strength.

"Not bad, little girl, you actually managed to fight me to this extent. You've done very well. However, I'm still a bit unprepared. I'll come to pick you up when I'm all ready."

After their exchange, Gong Yerong knew that she was not yet capable of defeating this little girl, especially with two other Grandmasters eyeing her below. Although she usually didn't take them seriously, if she were to fight Lin Xueyi with all her might, Lin Xueyi would definitely get injured, and those two would become the straws that broke her back.

Although she was arrogant, she wasn't stupid. To knowingly forge ahead when it was impossible wasn't bravery, it was foolishness. So Gong Ye Rong raised her head and looked at the young girl. For her, someone who could be her equal was the best.

"Come again next time? If you come again next time, I'll just beat you into a pig's head. Don't blame me for not showing any mercy then."

Since the other party had no intention of continuing, Lin Xueyi naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to fight her head-on anymore. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but the two of them hadn't even used their full strength yet, and it had already turned this place into this state. If they had really used their full strength, the people here might not have survived much of the aftershocks.

Putting aside others, she couldn't possibly betray Ruoxue and her own sister. Besides, the power behind the two of them was her greatest asset. If anyone bullied her again, she wouldn't have to lift a finger; she could just find someone to help her get revenge.

"Little girl, the world is dangerous, so please take good care of yourself. Before I arrive, please make sure you take good care of yourself. Don't let your eyes deceive you, or people will be killed."

Seeing Lin Xueyi sheathe her sword, Gong Yerong turned to leave. Before leaving, she turned back to look at Lin Xueyi, left a few words, and then quickly departed.

As for this devastated place, neither the Netherworld Ghost Valley nor the Holy Dragon Palace, nor the righteous martial arts sects that came to help, nor the survivors of the Dragon Slaying Gang, have any desire to continue fighting.

Faced with that massive explosion, they felt as if their courage was about to be shattered. Now, all they could think about was getting back to their sect as quickly as possible. The outside world was too terrifying; home was much warmer.

As for Lin Xueyi, she slowly landed on the ground. Everyone made way for her, one side leading to Mo Ningyan and the other to Lin Xuerong.

Looking at the scene before her, Lin Xueyi felt an urge to draw her sword again. Are you people trying to cause trouble? How can you make way like this? Wouldn't it be better to make way for one path? Instead, you made way for two. How is she supposed to choose?

On one side is Lin Xueyi's dearest older sister from before, whose affection still lingers in her heart; on the other side is her current woman, a "good friend" who accompanied her through her most difficult time. Isn't this clearly forcing her to choose?

What kind of behavior is this? It's clearly the behavior of a younger brother, it's clearly an act of causing trouble, and it's also something that left her standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Lin Xueyi's expression at this moment was basically like this.

Main Text: Chapter 231 Choice? Doesn't Exist

Lin Xueyi slowly descended, and the crowd below clearly made way for her out of respect. However, on one side were people from the Netherworld Ghost Valley, and on the other side were people from the Righteous Alliance.

They would naturally make way for Lin Xueyi, giving her the path she wanted to take. On one side was the path leading to their own Valley Master, who also claimed that Lin Xueyi was their Valley Master's wife, and the members of the Netherworld Ghost Valley.

On the one hand, they learned that Lin Xueyi was the most mysterious young lady of the Holy Dragon Palace, so they naturally opened the way for her to go find her sister.

However, this well-intentioned act left Lin Xueyi in a bind, completely unsure of which way to go. Wasn't this blatantly a trap?

However, no matter what, Lin Xueyi is in a dilemma. If she goes to Ruoxue's side, it's obvious that her adopted older sister Lin Xuerong will be unhappy. But if she turns to Lin Xuerong's side, Ruoxue will probably be sad.

At this moment, Lin Xueyi felt like drawing her sword and killing the passersby who had made way for her. If they hadn't acted recklessly, would she have been so unlucky as to have to make this choice? They're stirring up trouble.

Looking at Ruoxue and then at Lin Xuerong, both of them were already walking towards her, clearly intending to greet her. What to do? What to do? She was in a complete mess. What should she do in this situation?

Lin Xueyi, who was already extremely tense, suddenly had a brilliant idea. While everyone was not paying attention, Lin Xueyi clutched her chest in pain and slowly knelt down on the ground, as if she had been seriously injured in the fight just now.

However, the first person to appear beside her was not Lin Xuerong or Mo Ningyan, but Ge Xinyao, who was not far from her. She could clearly sense Lin Xueyi's importance in the other two's hearts and had already prepared to give up. However, when she saw Lin Xueyi fall to the ground in pain, she rushed over without thinking and held her in her arms.

"Xueyi, you're injured."

He hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped away the bloodstains from Lin Xueyi's lips. He then felt a sudden chill on his back. It turned out that the other two real big shots had appeared behind her.

Seeing her apprentice's condition, Xin Qingluo wanted to speak up, but after seeing Lin Xuerong and Mo Ningyan looking at Lin Xueyi with concern and ignoring Ge Xinyao, she completely lost all her courage.

"Sister Xinyao, I'm fine. It's just that my blood was churning a bit when I fought Gong Yerong. I feel much better after spitting it out."

That's right. Now that she's lured these two women over, her plan is complete. All that's left is to find a reasonable explanation for her recovery.

Mo Ningyan carefully took Lin Xueyi out of Ge Xinyao's arms, ignoring the other party's explanation, and instead held her in her arms, preparing to walk to the back.

"Stop! Where are you taking Xueyi?"

Raising her eyebrows, Lin Xuerong watched as Mo Ningyan actually tried to take Lin Xueyi away right in front of her, which she couldn't tolerate. Ignoring the presence of other people around, she directly told Mo Ningyan to stop.

"Didn't you see that Xueyi is injured? At this time, instead of going to my Netherworld Ghost Valley for treatment, are you going to make a long journey to your Holy Dragon Palace?"

Without turning her head, she uttered these words that left Lin Xuerong speechless for a moment. Mo Ningyan did not stop as Lin Xuerong expected, but instead slowly walked among the people of Youming Ghost Valley.

"Um, Ruoxue, that's my sister, please don't say that."

Leaning against Mo Ningyan's softness, Lin Xueyi rubbed her face against it again, but unexpectedly, the other party lowered her head affectionately and touched her cheek.

"Hey, what are you doing? There are so many people here. Can't you be a little more discreet?"

With a laugh, Mo Ningyan shook her head and said, "I've been thinking about you all this time. Now that you're finally here with me, how could I be so low-key if I didn't? It would be so unfair to this heart that has been longing for you all this time."

Lin Xueyi felt a little hot. She said that although she didn't know how credible this woman's words were, who doesn't like to hear pretty words?

"Let's go. Although the Netherworld Ghost Valley is not as luxurious as your Holy Dragon Palace, it has its own style. Would you like to go in and take a look at your future home?"

Seeing the embarrassed Lin Xueyi, Mo Ningyan naturally wanted to press her advantage and not give Lin Xuerong the slightest chance. If she took Lin Xueyi back to the Holy Dragon Palace at this moment, Lin Xueyi would most likely be kept there and not allowed to go out freely.

Therefore, at this moment, Mo Ningyan still felt that she had to stick to her choice and absolutely could not let Lin Xueyi be taken away by Lin Xuerong.

But how could Lin Xuerong let Lin Xueyi stay so easily? She knew that if her younger sister were taken away by Mo Ningyan, that wolf, she might really be eaten alive. How could that be allowed?

Her sister, whom she had finally managed to raise, was then devoured by a sow. Ha! She'd have to prepare a pig-slaughtering feast for her, using her own flesh. To let her know what it means to be "the pork"—she herself is the real deal.

However, Lin Xuerong didn't have a chance to speak because Ge Xinyao, with a sudden burst of courage, spoke up between the two of them.

“Xueyi is injured and can’t travel far. For her own good, she should seek treatment nearby.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuerong knew she couldn't persist any longer. She stared intently at Mo Ningyan, who was holding Lin Xueyi, and then turned her attention to Ge Xinyao.

"Sister Xinyao, come over here. I really enjoy it when you massage my shoulders. And your pastries are delicious too."

As soon as Lin Xueyi uttered those words, Ge Xinyao instantly became the focus of everyone's attention. They never expected that this pretty girl would have such a close relationship with this super-powerful little grandmaster.

Meanwhile, the Jade Spirit Sword Sect has now come into the sights of various forces in the Central Plains. It's not because they were so powerful when they fought against the Dragon Slaying Gang, but because they were able to have such a close relationship with Grandmaster Lin Xueyi.

“Little girl, our chefs in the Netherworld Ghost Valley are just as good, yet you insist on bringing one with you. Are you looking down on us?”

"No, I wouldn't dare. I just thought you would support my decision." He tilted his head and snuggled against Mo Ningyan a few times, then heard her chuckle softly.

"Okay, whatever you say is fine. We have a place in the Netherworld Ghost Valley that we can take good care of you and your friends."

Knowing perfectly well what Lin Xueyi was thinking, Mo Ningyan wouldn't embarrass her on such a matter. She simply brought her face close to Lin Xueyi's lips.

"Aren't you willing to give a reward?"

These words were extremely impactful and damaging, especially to Lin Xuerong, who was about to leave. As she looked in the direction of the voice, she saw a scene that made her furious.

Mo Ningyan brought her face close to Lin Xueyi's lips, and then saw her younger sister blush and kiss her on the other's face. This woman really shouldn't live in this world. It's better to tear off this face. Yes, it's best to tear it off.

"Alright, we've kissed, so don't do anything rash."

Lin Xueyi's face flushed slightly, so she could only lower her head before speaking, "Sister, I'll be going back to the Holy Dragon Palace in a few days. You can wait for me at home. When I get back, I'll tell you about what's happened these past few days, okay?"

"Hmph." Lin Xuerong snorted coldly, instinctively about to say, "Reply or not, it's up to you," but before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by Zhong Yuxiu on the other side.

"Young lady, we'll be waiting for you at the Holy Dragon Palace. We'll make you Aunt Zhong's best boneless chicken then."

Wiping away her cold sweat, she knew her palace master's personality all too well. She almost let her say what she meant, which would have really pushed the young lady towards the Netherworld Ghost Valley.

Upon hearing Lin Xueyi's adorable "Mmm" amidst her laughter, Zhong Yuxiu knew that the battle between good and evil had come to an end. No one would continue at this point.
