That bitch Tianyin had revolted against me, all for the sake of the Treasured Encyclopedia of Medicine. But Xiao Tong was Master’s only daughter… How could she have caused her harm? If it had not been for our Master, we would have died in the hands of bandits, back when we were kids!

　　Zuo Shangchen glanced sideways at Wei Yiyi, “It’s true that she’s become an idiot. I can even tell you that it was your fellow disciple who did it. There’s nothing that I do not know in this world.”

　　Hatred!

　　An endless amount of hatred gnawed at Wei Yiyi’s heart like a colony of ants, filling her eyes with a reddish glow.

　　Actually, her heart was filled with more self-blame than hatred.

　　That year, when she was captured by that wretched couple, it was Xiao Tong who had secretly listened in on their conversation and found out about what had happened to her. It was also Xiao Tong who then made a plan to rescue her; otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to escape. However, Xiao Tong could not bear to leave the Medicine Order and refused to leave with her.

　　At the time, she had promised Xiao Tong that she would definitely return to the Medicine Order, once she had recovered her strength, and together, they would expose all the crimes that the wretched couple had committed.

　　Who knew that even after ten years, she still could not return…

　　She had thought that the wretched couple would still remember everything that their Master had done for them, and would leave Xiao Tong alone. It seems that she had completely underestimated them…

　　Xiao Tong had met such a bad end, but it was because of everything that had happened to her, that her strength had declined to such a degree, that she could no longer return to the Medicine Order…

　　“Tianyin, you will pay for this! We could never repay our debts to our Master for having treated us so well… And Xiao Tong was the most precious thing to him, yet you’ve turned her into a fool! The day will come when I will return to the Medicine Order and take her away! However, now is not the time…”

　　Wei Yiyi took a deep breath, calmed guilt in her heart, and grit her teeth as she spoke.

　　Seeing as Tianyin has yet to kill Xiao Tong, that would mean that Xiao Tong was not in any danger for the time being. It was more likely that Tianyin was simply trying to use Xiao Tong as bait to lure Wei Yiyi out from hiding. The only thing she could do now was to increase her strength and return to take her revenge as soon as possible!

　　Zuo Shangchen smiled in admiration, “Xiao Yun’er, this Ghost Doctor is actually pretty good. She has brains and she’s not impulsive. She knows her limits and won’t act recklessly. She’s a good addition for you. I can rest easy now.”

　　Honestly, his true intentions in bringing up the matter were to test Wei Yiyi. If she was going to bring danger to Gu Ruoyun with her impulsiveness, he would never let her off so easily!

　　Should anyone endanger Gu Ruoyun’s safety, then he… would not hesitate to kill that person!

　　Wei Yiyi was not aware that her choice had saved her life. Otherwise, no matter how dangerous the circumstances would be, Zuo Shangchen would never have allowed her to stay…

　　“Zuo Shangchen, shouldn’t you be telling me the identity of that man in black by now?” Gu Ruoyun raised her eyebrows and turned towards Zuo Shangchen, “Don’t tell me that you didn’t recognize him.”

　　Hearing this, Zuo Shangchen’s smile disappeared again and his expression turned cold.

　　“That person… came from the Spirit Sect!”

　　The Spirit Sect?

　　Gu Ruoyun’s heart trembled. She looked at the man’s delicate yet mischievous face in astonishment.

　　“You’re saying… That he’s from the Spirit Sect? Has something happened to my brother? Otherwise, why is someone from the Spirit Sect trying to kill me?”

　　Zuo Shangchen laughed bitterly, “There’s no difference between the Spirit Sect and the secular world. The fight for power and position… It’s the same everywhere. Those are the people who could not deal with your brother, so they would, of course, look for his weaknesses. And you, you are his only weakness!”

　　Gu Ruoyun clenched her fists. She had been unable to protect her family in her past life. Hence, in her present life, she was certainly going to protect her only family in the world.
