chapter 20

She didn’t know how to fly.

“Yin Xuezhuo…” She wanted to cry, but she didn’t have any tears.

Can you stop watching and help me?

If I die, then you will also die! Does he not value his own life at all?

Yin Xuezhuo clicked his tongue at her, but he still refused to move. Suddenly, there were a few voices chattering outside the refining room. “Huh? Why is no one guarding the refining room?”

They were heading for the refining room.

Yin Xuezhuo occasionally liked to destroy the remainder of the corpses he killed; just like what he did to the physician’s corpse. The disciples guarding the refining room were killed by Yin Xuezhuo and their corpses were also destroyed by him. Not even a bone remained.

When Ji Yan heard the sound of someone entering, she immediately became nervous and quickly made some gestures to Yin Xuezhuo.

We need to run! Yin Xuezhuo, we need to run!

The corners of Yin Xuezhuo’s lips curved into a smile. He appeared suddenly more excited than usual. His eyes glowed scarlet red, and he seemed more interested. The more flustered Ji Yan was, the more he wanted to tease her.

He directly turned invisible.

Ji Yan, “???” F**k you! Why aren’t you lifting a finger to save me?! Do you believe that I will kill myself to kill you?

Ji Yan was panicking and in a moment of desperation, Ji Yan messed up her hair and pinched her arms, tears pricked her eyes from the pain. Then, she curled up in the corner inside the cabinet.

Fortunately for Ji Yan, the clothes that Yin Xuezhuo found for her were uniforms of a cultivating practitioner. She was pretending to be a female disciple who had been startled by the sudden commotion.

There were many people outside, but they were all young disciples of the sect. They quickly inspected the refining room when someone finally found Ji Yan trembling in the corner of the cabinet.

“Who are you? Why are you here alone?”

The person who discovered Ji Yan was a 16-year-old boy. He was wearing a pale blue robe, carrying a sword behind him. He squatted down to check on Ji Yan.

Ji Yan continued to sob as she slowly raised her head.

Even though the young man knew that the other party was a girl, he still didn’t expect the girl to be a beauty. When he was met with her limpid eyes, his ears suddenly turned bright red. He helplessly asked her, “Are you okay? Why are you here alone? Based on your clothes, I presume you’re from the Qingyun Pavilion?”

Qingyun Pavilion was a newly formed small sect. Even though they were a newly formed sect, they joined the Thousand Immortal Alliance.

Luckily, Ji Yan hit the jackpot and obtained an identity as their “ally”.

Ji Yan bit her lips and nodded as she stared at the young man in front of her. She was hugging her body tightly like she was frightened. A

“Don’t be afraid…” The young man’s name was Shao Xin. This was the first time he was interacting with such a beautiful young lady, so he was a little helpless as to how he should comfort her. He didn’t want to be too rude, so he could only blurt out the words, “don’t be afraid” and “I won’t hurt you” to comfort her.

Ji Yan buried her head in her arms and took the opportunity to tweak the expression on her face. It turned out that the young man in front of her was still pure and innocent. From his reaction, Ji Yan assumed that he had never interacted much with a girl before.

This did not come as a surprise to her because the Kunning Sect only accepted male disciples. Yin Miaorou was only able to stay in the Kunning Sect because she was the daughter of the former sect leader.

Yin Miaorou later became the leader of the Kunning Sect. Although she changed the sect rules, allowing females to be accepted as disciples too, this rule was only implemented for two years.

The young man appeared to be 16 to 17 years old. Ji Yan calculated the time when Yin Miaorou was a disciple of the Kunning Sect to the time that female disciples were finally allowed to join the sects.

She can confidently confirm that he probably had never seen a female after he entered the sect.

No wonder her tears were able to instantly render him helpless. When he was quite stern when he first tried to question her, but now, he was completely putty in her hands.

He was too pitiful.

Even so, Ji Yan seized this opportunity and suddenly cried out, “There…there was a devil…”

Since there was such a big commotion, it was obvious that an ordinary person wouldn’t have been able to cause all of this. Shao Xin’s eyes dimmed, and his expression turned solemn at her words.

“What kind of devil did you see? Can you tell me what it looks like? How were you able to survive?”
