The improved female villains regained their memories.

"I really want to go. I haven't played the piano in a long time. Can you help me choose one?"

"Humph."

Ye Buxin stood up.

She said, "Yang Pingsheng, actually I..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

That's how things are in this world. Even if two people are familiar with each other, once they miss their chance to say something, no matter how many times they meet again, they may never say those words again.

Whether something is said or not, and when it is said, will change the course of events.

They learned about secluded places back then, but little did they know that they themselves would reach a turning point.

What prevented Ye Buxin from finishing his sentence was an arrow.

The arrow pierced the air and struck Ye Buxin in the back.

'Someone is ambushing us.' That was Ye Buxin's first thought.

'This person has been watching us for a long time, but it was inconvenient to attack the young master's residence, so he made his move at this time.' This was Ye Buxin's second thought.

She leaned forward and fell into a cold embrace.

'I'm angry.' That was her third thought.

She rarely saw Yang Pingsheng angry.

In her memory, Yang Pingsheng was not talkative and did not express his emotions much. Although he would occasionally use his witty tongue, he was generally a dull and unassuming man.

Once angered, a mountain can turn into a volcano.

I was angry because she was injured, back during the trial at Yunmeng Mountain.

-------------

The Guigu School's learning process is not entirely closed off.

Guiguzi Wang Xu was skilled at teaching according to aptitude, and he specifically chose to conduct the trials of Yang Pingsheng and Ye Buxin outside the mountains.

A spy from the Jixia Academy reached the edge of the Yunmeng Grand Array, made some notes, and then hid in a small town. Yang Pingsheng and Ye Buxin's mission was to capture the spy.

However, in that small town, they fell into an ambush. Their spies made contact with the Jixia Academy's support personnel, and they all stepped into the Jixia Academy's ambush.

All the residents of the town have been evacuated; the town is now inhabited entirely by people from the Jixia Academy.

The two of them fought their way out. Yang Pingsheng was good at defense and was not seriously injured, but Ye Buxin was different. She was almost seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Inside the cave, the spiritual fire burned, providing a rare warmth. Ye Buxin lay there helplessly as Yang Pingsheng repeatedly infused her body with spiritual energy.

“I’m going to die,” she said.

"If I die, don't think about avenging me. You must go back to the Ghost Valley Sect immediately. There is a secret room under my room that only you can enter. My life's work is in there. You must take those things out."

"Our lifelong ideal, remember our ideal!"

The pain from her wound nearly made Ye Buxin faint. She kept repeating the same sentence as if she were obsessed, gripping Yang Pingsheng's hand tightly.

"Promise me you'll remember, you'll keep your promise, right?"

"Bu Xin, I won't agree to that."

The light of spiritual energy shone brightly again and again, and Yang Pingsheng's voice echoed in the cave.

"Our ideals are something we must achieve together."

He did his best to stabilize Ye Buxin's injuries.

"I'll be back soon."

That day, she saw Yang Pingsheng lose his temper for the first time.

The cave was not far from the town. Ye Buxin lay inside and heard sounds coming from outside.

Explosions, flames, roars.

Even inside the cave, she could hear Yang Pingsheng's furious voice outside.

"I only want your life!"

When he returned, his minor injuries had turned into serious ones. Ye Buxin looked over with difficulty and saw that his once strong soul had become fragile and weak, like a candle flickering in the wind.

"You idiot...you actually used a forbidden killing technique, you bastard..."

"Bu Xin, seeking revenge for a close friend is never a foolish thing."

He casually tossed the severed head aside, slumped there wearily, a satisfied smile on his face.

"At least, I don't regret it."

Chapter 602 I Forbid

A terrifying pressure descended upon this place.

The earth and the oppressive force responded to each other, rumbling as if something was about to burst forth from the ground.

The attacker fired an arrow, but had no chance to fire a second, as a giant hand made of rock slammed down from mid-air.

boom!

Smoke and dust billowed as the attackers fled in disarray, running backwards.

"where are you going?"

The earth continued to rise, hindering the attackers' retreat; trees collapsed, flower fields crumbled, and the entire terrain changed with Yang Pingsheng's actions.

Yang Pingsheng squinted and looked. The attacker's entire body was covered by some inexplicable force, making it impossible to see his face or gender.

"What kind of method is this? It doesn't seem like a killing move, nor does it seem like a clever application..."

In an era where the Dao is split into a hundred, killing moves, ingenious methods, alchemy, weapon crafting, soul cultivation, mind stabilization... it's not surprising that any kind of method appears. Yang Pingsheng was not familiar with the way the attacker concealed his face.

He didn't bother to think too much, teleported in front of the attacker, and slammed his hand down.

As he moved, the giant hand made of rock slammed down on the attacker. The attacker, who was holding a bow in his left hand, didn't have time to reach for the arrow behind him with his right, so he raised his right hand and pointed at the giant hand from a distance.

The menacing giant hand crumbled.

With a loud rumble, Yang Pingsheng's figure also disappeared.

The attacker was startled and turned around abruptly. Yang Pingsheng was already close at hand, having used some kind of movement technique to get behind him.

Clever Use - Vanishes Without a Trace.

The combination of deadly moves and ingenious application caught the attacker off guard. Seeing that things were not going well, the attacker decisively threw the bow in his hand, and his body turned into mud on the ground.

Yang Pingsheng watched coldly as the other party tried to escape, his hands continuing their work.

Rumble, rumble!

"Where are you going!?"

He slammed his palm onto the ground.

A dense spiritual energy burst forth, and a resilient soul manifested, materializing in the world.

hum-

Space trembled.

This was just a tiny tremor in the Dao of Space, but it spread throughout the world.

Deep within the palace, the man suddenly opened his eyes.

At the young master's residence, Fusu, who was working, was startled, and his pen tilted to one side. Meng Ying suddenly appeared beside him, his face serious.

Li Zhujun, who was admiring the flowers in the courtyard, coughed and squinted in a certain direction.

In the room, Wuyun was startled and jumped into Zhou Jinyu's arms.

Numerous magical artifacts were activated to protect the capital, and figures leaped from the depths of the palace into the sky, as all sorts of strange and wonderful reconnaissance methods surged toward this place.

Yang Pingsheng calmly withdrew his hand, revealing a lot of blood on his palm.

The attacker escaped, but clearly not easily, ultimately triggering a deafening roar that shocked the capital, severely injuring the assailant.

"Running around in the fields is suicidal."

Yang Pingsheng sneered, confirming that the other party had already run towards the capital, and was about to continue the pursuit when Ye Buxin called him back.

"Don't act rashly, I'm fine."

She walked in unharmed; the arrow had spontaneously combusted, leaving no trace.

The pierced green dress revealed a defensive magical artifact underneath—this personal artifact had blocked the attacker's attack.

"So someone actually attacked us," Ye Buxin sneered. "I just wanted to add an extra layer of defense, ha..."

Yang Pingsheng said, "It's not too late to give chase now."

Ye Buxin shook his head: "It's too late. The capital has reacted. My clever method of defense and reconnaissance is about to be broken. We have to retreat."

"The attackers must not be let go."

"That's for sure, but we have plenty of time. That guy is definitely hiding in the capital."

Ye Buxin grabbed Yang Pingsheng: "Let's go."

With a clever trick, the two figures vanished.

-------------

I originally planned to go sightseeing, but I didn't expect to come back in a bit of a mess after only a short time.

The capital was under martial law by many experts, and the two of them entered the city almost like rats.

Only after returning to Ye Buxin's room did the two finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Come here and take off your shirt."

Ye Buxin pointed to a certain spot, and Yang Pingsheng obediently took off his shirt and stood on it. The array enveloped his entire body, and his strong upper body showed complex patterns the moment it came into contact with the array.

During the Ghost Valley Sect trial, Yang Pingsheng used a forbidden technique to seek revenge, which greatly weakened his soul's foundation. Ye Buxin put in a lot of effort to help Yang Pingsheng recover.

Fortunately, Yang Pingsheng's innate immortal body was still somewhat useful. During the repair process, it revitalized the resilience of his soul, which helped Ye Buxin restore Yang Pingsheng's soul.
