chapter 24

Shao Xin and Shao Bai were not born from the same mother, but they still had a good relationship since they were young. Shao Xin was born from a concubine and because of his status, he never tried to seek his father’s favor. The family later fell into some financial problems at the same time a famine hit the area where they were living. The family chose to sell their youngest son, Shao Xin for food. Shao Xin wandered through the mortal world all alone; he almost starved to death several times. It was only by mere coincidence that he was admitted as a disciple to the Kunning Sect.

He completely buried his past as he grew up in Kunning Sect. He may appear gentle on the outside, but on the inside, he had never forgiven his brother, Shao Bai.

Shao Bai tried to retrieve his younger brother from the Kunning Sect several times, and the entire Kunning Sect almost fell into chaos because Shao Bai pressured the sect too much.

Of course, in the latter half of《Ask and Answer》, the female lead’s Mary Sue halo allowed the two brothers to finally forgive one another and reunite with each other.

Shao Xin was an average young man, but after he returned to the capital, he fell in love with the sect lead, Yin Miaorou at first sight. She was the holy goddess in his heart, and though he may admire her, he didn’t dare to confess his feelings.

In the latter half of the novel, if Yin Miaorou didn’t intentionally hurt herself to help the two brothers reunite and forgive each other, Shao Xin wouldn’t have easily forgiven Shao Bai.

This was how powerful the heroine’s Mary Sue halo was.

All the men in this world love her. The two brothers were even willing to forgive their years of hatred for each other just because they both loved her. The only person who managed to steel his heart to kill her was Yin Xuezhuo. Even then, Yin Xuezhuo still loved and hated her.

Ji Yan’s mood was quite complicated.

She had unintentionally bumped into one of the important characters of this novel. She knew that based on the timeline of the novel, that Shao Xin had yet seen Yin Miaorou nor had he been entangled with his brother, Shao Bai.

She just hoped that she had left a positive impression of herself in front of him. She needed to win over the crucial characters of this novel so that Yin Xuezhuo would have a chance when he fought against the men behind Yin Miaorou. She needed to break through Yin Miaorou’s line of defense.

She was a BUG in this world.

Based on the original novel, she should already be dead.

Hundreds of thoughts raced through Ji Yan’s mind. She almost stumbled and fell over because she was not paying attention to where she was walking. When she entered the hall where all the elders were standing, she was pushed onto the ground and forced to kneel in front of them. One of the elders looked particularly fierce and ruthless; he was probably Taoist Dao Yun.

Suddenly, she had a sense of déjà vu.

When the first time this happened, Yin Xuezhuo watched as she was bullied by the others. This time, he leaned over her ear and whispered something.

“Continue to put on an act, so you can find out the truth about the spiritual vein.” He was smiling as he calmly comforted her, “If they dare to bully you, then I will help you break their necks and make a puppet out of them…”

It seemed like he enjoyed stepping on other people’s neck…

Because Yin Xuezhuo was hovering around her, her ears, neck, and scalp turned frigid immediately from the cold air he was exuding. She wished that he would shut up and move away.

The effects of the pill refined by using spirit grass gradually became more apparent. The pounding headache gradually disappeared, and she even felt refreshed.

She guessed that Yin Xuezhuo finally appeared before her because he too felt the effects of the spirit grass pill. He probably didn’t feel the uncomfortable and nauseating feeling anymore.

“Bai Xiu.” Taoist Dao Yun glanced at the dazzling bright light the Devil Suppression Tower was emitting and finally spoke in a deep voice. He raised his hand and directly touched Ji Yan’s forehead with one of his fingers. He was startled by what he discovered when he said, “Why do you not have a cultivation base when your body is exuding such a large amount of demonic energy?”

Ji Yan hesitated for a moment before she said, “…this disciple met a devil before coming here. When I woke up after the devil injured me, I don’t recall anything that happened.”

Taoist Dao Yun sneered coldly and shouted, “Nonsense!”
