Chapter 74 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

The direct exposure of Tang Chu Huan made everything clear to her in an instant. It explained why Bai Lian and Mu Jian Li suddenly appeared at the Tai Xu Manor, stirring up chaos in their secret plot in Gu Su City. It also explained how Bai Lian and Mu Jian Li had located the entrance to the He Huan Palace hidden inside the Tai Xu Manor ahead of time, forcing her to rush back. It made sense why Yuan Fa, that brat, had intruded into the He Huan Palace without a thought, completely forgetting the task she had assigned him to divert the attention of the disciples from the Tai Hua Sword Sect. No wonder her Soul-Locking Chain had failed to completely seal Bai Lian's spiritual power, allowing her to break through in the midst of it. No wonder she couldn't sense the presence of those two when Bai Lian and Mu Jian Li escaped. Her plans, her Bai Lian, her everything, had all been ruined by this mere mortal! Anger clouded her mind, making her wish she could kill Tang Chu Huan immediately. But when she saw Tang Chu Dan emerging from the shadows, she couldn't help but freeze. "You... you are a woman?" "Since you have deprived me of the chance to get Bai Lian, then you shall stand in for her," he said smugly. As she prepared to act, her surprise and desire turned into an uncontrollable turmoil. "Or do you think I would appear before you without any means to fight back?" This was the Pei Sword of a talented female disciple who had once suffered at the hands of Ji Le Ming Fei, a sword that could potentially become a spiritual weapon if its owner had not died with regret. There were no traces of battle or spiritual fluctuations. Even if the elders of his sect came to investigate, what did it have to do with his sect? "Ridiculous!" Ji Le Ming Fei was shocked by Tang Chu Huan's shameless reasoning. She had never seen such shamelessness! But facing the relentless Tang Chu Dan, fear eventually crept onto her face. She humbly lowered herself and pleaded, "Miss Tang, please spare me. I was blind and offensive. I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life." "What gives you the right to harm her?" Ji Le Ming Fei stared with wide eyes and an open mouth, struggling to speak. Until her death, she couldn't understand why there were so many outstanding women around Bai Lian. Mu Jian Li, Jiang Miao, and now Tang Chu Huan. Tang Chu Dan looked at Ji Le Ming Fei's body, retreated a few steps, and finally slid down the wall, sitting on the ground. This was not the first time she had killed someone. In her previous life, when forced to wander, she had killed many people fighting over food. But this time was different. She had killed not a mere mortal, but a cultivator in the Tengyun Realm, a being she had once gazed up to as an immortal. He looked at his palms, feeling somewhat lost. So, these so-called immortals could also be so fragile. Reality was too brilliant; even he couldn't help but admire it. "I only served as a tool to suppress her. You were the one who really did it," Tang Chu Dan shook his head, tossing the book to the woman. "This is the Ji Le Canon. Ying Xin, am I qualified to join the Celestial Moon Sect now?" Ying Xin took the Ji Le Canon, seemingly surprised. "This Ji Le Canon is a celestial technique. Are you not tempted?" "I, Tang Chu Dan, only have my heart set on one person and disdain practicing such corrupt techniques," Tang Chu Dan replied without hesitation. "Exactly," Ying Xin chuckled. "For not coveting this harmful celestial technique, you are more sensible than I imagined." The cultivation requirements of the Ji Le Canon were extremely harsh. Even if one met the criteria, the practitioner would be influenced by it and gradually fall into depravity, losing oneself. "Even the lunatics in the Esoteric Sect dare not cultivate this thing. Your beloved is quite wise. She knows this Ji Le Canon is a disaster, so she thought to burn it. Otherwise, I'm afraid even I couldn't save her." Tang Chu Dan was momentarily stunned, but instead of dwelling on the Ji Le Canon's issue, she stood and thanked, "Thank you, Ying Xin, for your assistance in the palace, helping Bai to escape." Ying Xin shook his head. "I merely helped her undo the Soul-Locking Chain, but it was she who broke free on her own. Truly worthy of the Tai Hua Sword!” She fell silent as Tang Chu Dan's words lingered in her mind. The pain of her annihilation in her past life, the shame of losing her city, and the humble life she lived for over a dozen years were all regrets she could never forget. Now, she was fortunate to have a second chance, a chance to change her future and to make amends for those regrets. She aimed to save her family, to rescue the innocent people in Gu Su City. But her enemies were the powerful Huanxi Temple, the long-established Tai Xu Manor, and the overwhelmingly strong Ji Le Ming Fei. With no room for choice, she had to do her best to seize the opportunity, even if it meant using Bai Lian, even if... Bai Lian hated her. Suddenly, she laughed gently. "The life I once aspired to seems to be the best for me even now. But an ignorant frog will always be an ignorant frog. Even if it longs for the moon, it cannot escape the confines of the well, never seizing the chance to see the moon." Glancing at Tang Chu Huan, an ordinary person with an extraordinary determination, she couldn't help but fall into silence. "Tang Chu Huan, you asked me earlier if you were qualified to join the Celestial Moon Sect." "I will answer you now." She spoke earnestly, "From this moment on, you will formally become a disciple of the current Holy Maiden of the Celestial Moon Sect." "Later, you will follow me back to the sect. The Master will reshape your meridians based on the Four Images, marrow-cleansing, and lay the foundation, guiding you into the path of immortality." Tang Chu Huan's hands trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Ying Xin. "Thank you, senior Ying Xin."
