Long Ye was tormented in the spirit beast horde for a full seven days! Seven days!
After the spirit beasts dispersed, his eyes were vacant, his heart numb, and he looked utterly ruined, a truly pitiful sight.
Wenren Bai, barely suppressing a strange smell, approached, untied the sack from which Long Ye could not escape, and spoke with difficulty: "Long Ye… are you alright?"
This was a pointless question, but at least he was the first to show concern.
"Tian Ning…" Long Ye's eyes were bloodshot, his expression frantic, almost possessed by a demon. He cried out the name he hated so much: "Where is she? I will kill her! Kill her! I want her to die without a burial place!!"
His appearance was truly terrifying; Wenren Bai was so frightened that he took several steps back.
But Long Han behind him could not suppress the upward curve of his lips. To go find Tian Ning!
That fool would definitely get a bad outcome against Tian Ning, and then he could enjoy Long Ye's even more miserable appearance!
Wenren Bai stammered: "Sixth Sister… she… followed the Beast Taming Sect disciples back to the Beast Taming Sect."
Tian Ning wasn't going to wait for Long Ye to finish; she wasn't idle.
Anyway, if Long Ye wanted trouble, he would come looking for it.
"Long Ye, don't act rashly…"
Wenren Bai also remembered it now. When leaving home, his fourth brother, Wenren Yang, had secretly told him not to provoke Tian Ning, otherwise, he would suffer greatly. At the time, he had scoffed. A girl brought back from the Mortal Realm, how evil could she be?
Now, however, he truly felt Wenren Yang's fear. It was better to return to the Wenren Family and plan a strategy!
After all, Tian Ning was still a Wanjian Sect disciple; they couldn't just casually harm her.
"Xiao Bai, my feud with that bitch has nothing to do with the Wenren Family! But if I deal with her, the Wenren Family is not allowed to interfere!" Long Ye said to Wenren Bai with the little reason he had left: "She dares to humiliate this prince; I will order the entire Dragon Clan to hunt her down!"
Long Ye gritted his teeth: "That bitch and I… to the death!"
As a member of this side outwardly, Long Han should show grief and curse Tian Ning along with Long Ye.
But he really couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth; he almost laughed out loud.
Afraid of being exposed, he could only pretend to cover his mouth, trying his best to look incredibly sad: "Your Highness! You have suffered!"
Wenren Bai: "..."
Was Long Han a little strange today?
Long Ye, whose mind was clouded by rage, had no time to deal with Long Han now; his mind was filled with how to kill Tian Ning!
"Xiao Bai, you go back first! After I gather the Dragon Clan and go to the Beast Taming Sect to kill that bitch, I'll immediately meet up with you!"
"Long Ye…" Wenren Bai had a terrible headache dealing with this Young Prince.
Now, the Six Sects and the other Eight Great Families needed Long Ye to give an explanation about the Ice Lingzhi incident, and this mess had not been resolved yet; he certainly could not let Long Ye leave. He could only patiently persuade him.
Wenren Bai sighed inwardly. He had only wanted to make Xue'er happier; he hadn't expected these things to happen… If he had known this matter would be so troublesome, he would have let his older brother and second brother come!
"The Ice Lingzhi matter still needs to be resolved. Now you are Xue'er's Life Bound Contract Beast; your every move affects Xue'er!"
"Although you alone took the blame for stealing the Ice Lingzhi, if you don't offer enough compensation to shut the Six Sects and Eight Great Families up, they may think Xue'er was involved and instructed you to do it…"
Long Ye was already impatient: "Why are you humans so troublesome? I said I did it!"
"It has nothing to do with Xue'er. Xue'er merely mentioned that the Ninth-Grade Spirit Plant Ice Lingzhi had appeared and hoped to obtain the whole Ice Lingzhi to restore her cultivation base! I acted on my own accord. If they're unhappy, they can come after me; bullying Xue'er is not an ability!"
Wenren Bai: "..."
He was really numb.
Everyone, human or ghost, was showing off, only he was stuck in the middle taking the heat!
"I know you don't understand the intricacies of human rules, but please do it for Xue'er…" he patiently persuaded. If he couldn't persuade him, Wenren Bai intended to give up.
These past few days, he had endured a lot of pressure for Long Ye. Earlier, he had run himself ragged during the Beast Tide. Since meeting Tian Ning, what kind of life had he been living?
Wenren Bai, usually a graceful young master who paid attention to his appearance in public, now had disheveled clothes, and even his hair bun was askew. He had only heard that the spirit beast horde had dispersed, and he rushed over to save Long Ye.
Every time Wenren Xue was mentioned, Long Ye's temper always calmed down.
Only this time, Long Ye thought for a long time before compromising: "For Xue'er… I'll let that bitch live a few more days!"
As he said this, he felt for the first time that Xue'er was troublesome. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have encountered these things…
Soon he was frightened by his own thoughts. How could he think Xue'er was troublesome?!
Tian Ning didn't care about the two worried and one gleeful person on the other side. She followed the Beast Taming Sect disciples on an Immortal Crane back to the Beast Taming Sect.
It must be said that having a flying spirit beast was truly enjoyable. There was no need to constantly pay attention to Sword Flight, saving time and effort. Maybe one day she could enjoy a ride on Jiujiu.
She arrived at Zhou Han's courtyard familiarly, attracting the attention of many disciples along the way.
Mainly because Tian Ning was pulling a coffin, which was rather conspicuous…
"Junior Martial Sister, you're back!"
Shi Qinxin rushed over like a gust of wind, carefully examining Tian Ning, and finally concluded: "You've lost weight!"
Long Aotien: "..."
Did Senior Martial Sister Three have a problem with her eyes? Junior Martial Sister looked exactly the same as when she left! There was no difference.
A straight man didn't understand at all.
However, Long Aotien was very happy. They had received the jade slip sent back by the Beast Taming Sect disciples. Hearing that Tian Ning was back, they had been waiting here since early morning.
Seeing that Shi Qinxin's spirits had improved considerably, Tian Ning asked: "Senior Martial Sister Three, how is your Golden Core recovery?"
"Thanks to Senior Xuanqiu's superb medical skills, it's completely healed!"
Shi Qinxin directly took out her Life Bound Sword and held it high. Her face was completely free of the gloomy malevolent qi Tian Ning had seen before; there was more confidence and flamboyance: "Junior Martial Sister, let Senior Martial Sister Three show you something!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Long Aotien hurriedly said: "Senior Martial Sister! Senior Martial Sister! Keep it down! Have you forgotten what I told you? We need to keep a low profile, conserve our strength, and then amaze everyone at the Six Sects Grand Competition!"
Tian Ning looked at Long Aotien, whose strength had also recovered: "Senior Martial Brother Four, are you going to start your Long Aotien showing-off route?"
Long Aotien: "???"
Although he didn't quite understand his Junior Martial Sister's words, Long Aotien still specially explained: "Junior Martial Sister, you don't know, every Six Sects Grand Competition has gambling houses setting up gambling games!"
"Our Sword Protecting Mountain has been looked down upon for the past five years, but! Times are different now. This Six Sects Grand Competition is our time to shine!"
"When we return to the sect, we'll use all our assets to bet on Wanjian Sect Sword Protecting Mountain! We're guaranteed to make a killing! But Junior Martial Sister, you must restrain yourself during this period. We'll play possum and wait until the Six Sects Grand Competition to show our strength…" Long Aotien advised Tian Ning.
After all, Junior Martial Sister was always the wildest!
They were afraid that she would show off before the Six Sects Grand Competition and directly crush the confidence of the other contestants.
Tian Ning: "Actually, I just returned from resolving the Beast Tide for the Six Sects."
Long Aotien: "..."
"
