After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

rustling...

Faint footsteps sounded behind them.

Shi Yan immediately turned around.

A thin, terrifying figure was already standing there.

boom!

The lightning illuminated the figure's face.

Half crying, half laughing; half black, half white.

Last month, Qingqing's face turned deathly pale.

Shi Yan had seen that mask before, or rather... seen that face.

Last month...Zong.

hum-

The entire world constructed by "Mirror Flower Water Moon" trembled when that half-crying, half-laughing mask appeared.

Last month, Qingqing's face turned pale, and she looked like she was about to cry. She nervously tugged at Shi Yan's sleeve, "No..."

"not me……"

Although... I have a tiny bit of expectation for Master Shiyan's authority.

After experiencing the power of a teacher's words, Shangyue Qingqing felt that the world had turned gray.

But... that doesn't mean she would deliberately take the blame in order to be "punished" by Master Shiyan again.

The last time, using "Mirror Flower Water Moon" to let that terrifying power brush past him was already the limit.

even so--

From that moment on, Qingqing's world completely collapsed last month.

The already morbid and distorted world became even more gloomy and lost all its color.

Feeling both pain and pleasure, unable to distinguish between fear and anticipation, Shangyue Qingqing had only one thought about that terrible punishment.

Having tasted the marrow... one gains a new appreciation for flavor.

Can--

After letting a girl taste the sweetness of love, you deliberately forbid her from experiencing it again.

Simply leaving her there is also a form of punishment.

"I couldn't even get off the bus a few days ago..."

The girl's pitiful words immediately made Shi Hongjian raise her eyebrows.

Shi Yan's lips twitched.

How should I put it... this guy is definitely a born troublemaker.

"I know it's not you." He grabbed the girl's slender, frail hand and fed her a trace of frosty spiritual energy.

Last month, Qingqing's eyes seemed to brighten a bit, and a charming blush appeared on her cheeks.

"That's your master..."

"Is that so?" Shi Yan looked at the ghostly figure standing there... as if looking down at Xiao Moyi.

The fear deep within Shi Moyi's heart was frozen at this moment.

Last month, Qingqing hesitated... then nodded, then shook her head vigorously.

What does it mean when someone nods and then shakes their head?

“That’s the sect leader…” Shangyue Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then immediately changed her words, “That’s that old guy Shangyue Xin!”

"but--"

"But not entirely."

Savor the vital energy that surges and grows within the body.

Last month, Qingqing took a deep breath.

The world was tinged with a tiny bit of blue.

But soon... that wisp of spiritual energy, along with the colors of its own world, slipped away, leaving only an empty shell.

Last month, Qingqing glanced at Shiyan.

My own body... is empty.

It was so empty that it seemed like an endless abyss, with a gaping maw that swallowed everything.

All I can do now is to give my all and do everything in my power to earn even the slightest bit of praise from Master Shiyan.

Let's inject something into this empty shell.

Just a little... is enough.

Last month, Qingqing recounted everything she knew in detail.

"If I'm not mistaken..."

"That was a spell Shin used last month to exploit a 'loophole' in this girl."

Her gaze towards Shi Yan suddenly became somewhat evasive, "Because she has already been reborn once..."

"So I'm not sure if that's really the case."

"but--"

"Eight or nine out of ten... that should be the case."

"A loophole?" Shi Yan caught the key point in Qingqing's words last month.

"Yes..." the girl stammered hesitantly.

However, Qingqing never lies.

Because she had written it down in her little notebook—

My older sister doesn't like liars.

Last month, Qingqing, steeling herself, explained to Shiyan, "'Mirror Flower, Water Moon' is a very profound art."

"Once the target is successfully subjected to 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon,' then... a 'backdoor' will be left in her soul."

Even if the second user of "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" is not as skilled in "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" as the first...

"They can also successfully pass through that 'back door' and perform the 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon' technique."

"That mask is actually a symbol of the 'Dark Moon,' an inner disciple of the 'Upper Moon Sect.'"

"outer--"

"The prestigious and renowned immortal sect is none other than the 'Shangyue Sect'..."

"But... once we put on that mask, half black and half white, half crying and half laughing, then we become 'Dark Moon.'"

The girl slowly clenched her sleeves.

She also had one of those masks.

Shi Yan and Shi Hongjian frowned.

"back door?"

"So that's the truth about how last month's letter harmed Shi Moyi right under Shi Hongjian's nose..."

Last month, Qingqing looked at the little girl lying on the bed, "If she believed she was dead in 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon'..."

"So--"

"Her body will also be as good as dead."

"Then……"

Shi Yan looked at the little girl and continued Yue Qingqing's words, "The 'Phoenix Feather' has been triggered."

Shi Hongjian, standing nearby, frowned as she listened.

"Is this why you went there that day to find this girl?"

"Did she use 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon' on Xiao Moyi?"

“Yes…” Shi Yan nodded.

The sharp aura locked onto Shang Yueqing.

What Shi Hongjian hates most is... someone attacking her juniors, especially... when that junior possesses "a phoenix feather".

Locked in by Shi Hongjian's imposing aura, Shang Yueqing's lips turned white, she bit her lower lip, and her body seemed to tremble.

The girl put her legs together and her knees touched.

But... it's hard to say whether she was scared or excited.

Under that terrifying and fierce aura, Shangyue Qingqing felt as if her world had regained a little bit of color.

However, compared to the fervent admiration Master Shiyan bestowed upon him, it was still as insignificant as a feather, utterly worthless.

But... that threat of death, that pitch-black color.

For Shangyue Qingqing, who had already savored the pleasures for far too long, this was more than enough to enjoy and savor.

Shi Yan gripped the girl's hand tightly.

"She has already been punished."

Shi Hongjian looked at Shang Yueqing with a meaningful gaze, "I accepted..."

"Then I'll accept it."

Shi Hongjian could sense that this girl was no pushover.
