After Severing Her Emotions, the Whole Sect Was Overwhelmed with Grief - Chapter 99:
Chapter 99: He Had Once Sworn Never to Forget Her
Ruan Xinyou’s heart was filled with urgency.
Even though Xiao Yu had already promised her that he would bring Bai Ying back to the Radiant Sun Sect, she still felt uneasy.
She was afraid that during the time Xiao Yu spent with Bai Ying, he would slowly fall in love with her and end up unable to harm her.
Xiao Yu’s attitude toward Bai Ying had already become strange before, and now, even the way he looked at her had turned ambiguous.
The other Senior and Junior Brothers in the sect were also sighing one after another.
If, in the end, none of them could bear to hurt Bai Ying, would it end up like before—Bai Ying returning to the sect, still their Senior Sister?
Bai Ying’s talent was so extraordinary. If the Senior and Junior Brothers decided to protect her, the Sect Master might not dare to kill her either.
At that time, everything would return to how it was. Bai Ying would once again become the beloved heroine, admired by everyone.
And her own status within the sect would become extremely awkward.
They would all like Bai Ying, and no one would care about her anymore. They might even start to resent her!
Just thinking about this made Ruan Xinyou’s face twist with anger. She absolutely could not let this happen!
Ruan Xinyou kept thinking about what she should do.
Suddenly, she thought of Yan Chiling—the Fourth Senior Brother who had once joined forces with her to deal with Bai Ying after she shifted his feelings.
She couldn’t control the others, but Yan Chiling was different. His emotions had already been manipulated by her, so he was completely loyal.
Moreover, Yan Chiling had a deep understanding of formations and illusions. For this plan, she could only rely on him.
She wanted to personally cut open Bai Ying’s body, dig out her spiritual root and Golden Core, and make them her own!
As Ruan Xinyou thought about it, she clenched her fingers tightly…
…
At this moment, Yan Chiling suddenly woke up from a dream.
Covered in sweat, he looked at the stone wall in front of him and unconsciously reached out his hand to touch it.
Ever since helping Ruan Xinyou deal with Bai Ying, Yan Chiling had been punished and sent to the Cliff of Reflection.
He had been facing the wall here for days to reflect on his mistakes.
A few days ago, he accidentally noticed that one of the stone walls was full of carved names—Bai Ying’s name, over and over again. The carvings were messy and not very pretty.
But when Yan Chiling looked at those words, he couldn’t understand why he felt as if his soul had been taken away. He simply couldn’t move his eyes away.
When his fingers touched the carvings, he could feel a surge of intense emotions bursting from them.
He even dreamed of a little boy carving those names onto the stone wall in his sleep.
It confused him. Why would he have such a dream?
Because of Ruan Xinyou’s influence, he had always disliked Bai Ying. Even hearing her name used to irritate him.
But now, for some unknown reason, looking at those words gave him a strange sense of familiarity—a feeling that slowly wrapped around his heart, tightening more and more.
He kept staring at the carvings… until he stood there in a daze. His head began to ache suddenly, as if something inside him was trying to break free.
Just then, Ruan Xinyou’s voice came from behind him.
“Fourth Senior Brother, I found you!”
Yan Chiling clutched his head and looked at the person in front of him, almost not believing his eyes. “Junior Sister, how did you get here? This is the Cliff of Reflection. It’s forbidden for sect members to meet here.”
“I asked the Sect Master to let me in. You don’t know it, but right now, I’m very important to the Sect Master. He didn’t mind a small favor like this at all,” Ruan Xinyou said eagerly, wanting to persuade Yan Chiling to help her.
But at that moment, she noticed the carvings on the wall beside Yan Chiling!
Her smiling face froze immediately. She stared at those names in disbelief, her mind exploding in panic.
Could it be that Yan Chiling had remembered the past?
Had he recovered the memories of when he liked Bai Ying?
“Fourth Senior Brother! What… what’s this? Did you carve it?” Ruan Xinyou asked nervously.
As she spoke, she instinctively stepped back a few steps, afraid that Yan Chiling might attack her.
If he remembered everything and realized how much he had loved Bai Ying, he would definitely kill her!
Luckily, Yan Chiling shook his head. “How could I have carved that? Is my handwriting that ugly? I don’t even know who did it. Looks like someone really liked Bai Ying. I can’t believe someone would actually like her,” he said.
Only then did Ruan Xinyou relax. “I see.”
She quickly changed the subject and said to Yan Chiling, “You shouldn’t keep staring at those carvings. By the way, Fourth Senior Brother, can you do me a favor?”
Yan Chiling didn’t look at the wall anymore. He thought it was just something meaningless that a bored person had carved, and didn’t take it seriously.
But what he didn’t know was that those carvings were made by his own hands.
Back then, he had liked Bai Ying so much. When he found out that Qin Zijin had made Bai Ying take his punishment at the Cliff of Reflection, he had beaten Qin Zijin up in rage.
Afraid that Bai Ying would be lonely, he had deliberately committed a mistake to come to the Cliff of Reflection to accompany her.
But he hadn’t expected that at the Cliff of Reflection, everyone was isolated, and no one could meet anyone else.
Facing the empty stone walls, he was filled with frustration and helplessness.
During that time, his demonic bloodline suddenly flared up. In the past, his Master would suppress it for him whenever it happened.
But now, being punished here alone, there was no one to help him.
The pain from the bloodline’s eruption nearly drove him insane.
He was terrified that if the demonic blood completely took over, he would become a mindless monster.
He didn’t want that to happen. He didn’t want to forget Bai Ying.
In desperation, he carved Bai Ying’s name over and over onto the wall.
Every name he carved was a reminder to himself—he must not forget Bai Ying.
He must keep her in his heart forever. He loved her so much that he would rather die than forget her.
But now, standing in front of that wall, he remembered nothing. He even thought those carvings were ugly.
Ruan Xinyou said to Yan Chiling, “Fourth Senior Brother, can you help me set up a formation that can turn a person into the form of a beast? It would be best if it could trap them inside too.”
Yan Chiling looked puzzled. “Why do you need such a formation?”
Ruan Xinyou frowned. Of course, it was to turn Bai Ying into a beast so she could lead the sect members to attack her.
That way, she could kill Bai Ying openly, cut open her dantian, and take what she had long coveted.
And no one would suspect a thing.
She said, “Someone bullied me. I just want a little revenge.”
Yan Chiling hesitated. “But you know this kind of formation is dangerous. If no one knows the person trapped inside is a cultivator, they might all attack together.”
“Senior Brother! I won’t take anyone’s life. Please help me. You don’t want to see me being bullied, right?”
Yan Chiling’s unconditional love for Ruan Xinyou made him unable to refuse her.
Hearing that she had been bullied, he immediately agreed.
“Alright. But setting up this formation needs some special materials. Help me find them, and I’ll make it for you.”
“Okay!”
Hearing his answer, a joyful smile immediately appeared on Ruan Xinyou’s face.
Perfect. She couldn’t wait a second longer!
That damned Bai Ying… soon, she would be nothing but a useless waste!
