Chapter 156 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

"Perhaps you have already sensed the true intentions of the Phoenix within your soul," Bai Lian said calmly. "You might feel relieved because the awakening of the true intentions of the Phoenix may have cleansed and purified you." "From this moment on, you have officially entered the path of immortality, no longer a mere mortal with defiled senses." "The true intentions of the Phoenix is one of the most powerful innate abilities in the world. Your ability to awaken the true intentions of the Phoenix is indeed extraordinary. As long as you diligently practice, you will certainly make a name for yourself in the cultivation world in the future." Because of the true intentions of the Phoenix? Xiao Wei Yang was taken aback upon hearing this. She was well aware of the true intentions of the Phoenix, as in her past life, she was able to defeat her brothers and sisters and ascend to the throne, largely thanks to the power of the true intentions of the Phoenix. The true intentions of the Phoenix have the power to purify the world of evil and foster rebirth, naturally also able to cleanse and purify the soul. Therefore, Bai Lian's explanation seemed to make some sense. However, for some reason, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. It seemed that something had happened during the time she lost consciousness, but she couldn't remember anything at all. What is it that Sister Bai has been concealing? She looked at Bai Lian, whose eyes were cast down, unable to discern her emotions, feeling inexplicably agitated. "The true intentions of the Phoenix... seems powerful, but it's nothing special," she said with self-mockery. "It's ultimately just inviting trouble." Bai Lian was taken aback. Wei Yang's attitude seemed to suggest some resistance to the true intentions of the Phoenix? But in her impression, although the true intentions of the Phoenix was on par with the god-level talent of the Sword-Heart Connection, it was different from the latter, which could turn people into cold and emotionless swordsmen. The true intentions of the Phoenix not only strengthened cultivators from all aspects, but also had almost no side effects. Could it be that there was some hidden secret about the true intentions of the Phoenix that she didn't know about? She was about to say something when she realized that Xiao Wei Yang had suddenly stood up from the water and was standing bare in front of her. She instantly swallowed the words in her throat, instinctively turned away and didn't look at Xiao Wei Yang's body. “What? Does Sister Bai think my body is too unsightly to look at?” Xiao Wei Yang tucked a fallen strand of hair behind her ear and looked at Bai Lian with a faint smile. “N-No, it's not what I meant,” Bai Lian subconsciously retorted. She certainly did not think Xiao Wei Yang was unsightly. On the contrary, in her eyes, Xiao Wei Yang's body was as perfect as a meticulously crafted jade ornament. “If you don't think my body is unsightly, then why won't Sister Bai look at me directly?” Xiao Wei Yang pursued relentlessly. “Is it possible that Sister Bai is feeling shy about seeing a girl's body?” “You've already seen me thoroughly earlier. You should take some responsibility.” Xiao Wei Yang's series of questions left Bai Lian feeling bewildered. If she let Xiao Wei Yang continue to question her like this, she would again become a shameless and fickle woman. So she gritted her teeth and turned to look at Xiao Wei Yang. Only to find that Xiao Wei Yang had somehow moved closer to her, their faces almost close enough to feel each other's breath. Bai Lian was startled, like a frightened deer, and took several steps back, unable to muster the courage she had gathered for a moment. She could only endure the awkwardness and say, “You should, you should hurry and put on your clothes. As a princess, your current appearance is quite inappropriate.” Seeing the tears welling up in Bai Lian's eyes as a result of her own intimidation, Xiao Wei Yang's lingering resentment softened a bit. She pursed her lips. Hmph, acting all aloof and cold-hearted, yet in the end, you're crying after being bullied by me. And that lesson was just like the one in my memory. Sister Bai, are you really not my teacher? What exactly are you hiding from me? With narrowed eyes, her doubts grew stronger. But after the recent events, she no longer felt as restless as before. No matter how sophisticated the disguise, a person can't totally let go of their past. As long as Bai Lian was still by her side, she was confident that she would unravel everything. If Bai Lian really was her teacher... Hmph, then she wouldn't be satisfied with just verbal bullying. Finally, Xiao Wei Yang put on her clothes, because Ming Chao and Bao Qin arrived. She had never been a casual person, but somehow she felt different in front of Bai Lian. Ming Chao and Bao Qin entered the rehabilitation hall and were about to say something when they saw Xiao Wei Yang, who had already awakened. Their faces immediately lit up with surprise. "Your Highness, you're awake!" "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" "Your Highness, do you want some snacks?" The two girls surrounded Xiao Wei Yang, chattering and showing concern. Xiao Wei Yang couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed. In her previous life, she had no friends and feared loneliness, so she had taken these two noisy little maids as her personal attendants. Now, having lived two lifetimes and matured considerably, she wouldn't easily fraternize with them. "Alright, alright, I'm perfectly healthy," she said helplessly. "So, what is it that you two have come here for?" "Oh, almost forgot the important matter..." Ming Chao suddenly came to her senses. "When you were unconscious, Miss Bai asked me to investigate the people who have been coming in and out of the Wei Yang Palace during this time, especially those who have been to the Wei Yang Lake, as well as the backgrounds of the palace's servants." Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei Yang raised an eyebrow. "Is Miss Bai suspecting that there are traitors in the Wei Yang Palace?" She pondered for a moment and said, "It seems likely. Father has sent cultivators to protect me within the Wei Yang Palace. It's definitely not possible for mere newly-born monsters to directly intrude." "So someone must have brought them in, and... the other party even has an insider within the Wei Yang Palace," she squinted, her eyes flashing with anger. If it hadn't been for Bai Lian, if she hadn't awakened the true intentions of the Phoenix, the vile monster would have undoubtedly caused her demise. She had never mistreated any of the palace servants, but the other party still wanted her dead. Even a clay figure had three parts of anger – and in her previous life, she ascended to the throne not with kindness. She then looked at Bai Lian and suddenly laughed lightly, "Miss Bai, you really think things through, just like a wise assistant to this princess~" What kind of so-called wise assistant? It's as if I'm your wife. Bai Lian internally complained, about to argue. But before she could say a word, Bao Qin suddenly said, "I also think so! Your Highness, let me tell you. Not only does Miss Bai know about the Spring Harmony Pavilion, she also knows what herbs are in it, and she gives very clear instructions to me and Ming Chao when assigning tasks." "Oh? Really, I had no idea about these things," Xiao Wei Yang looked at the frozen Bai Lian with interest, a faint smile on her lips. Bai Lian wanted to interrupt Bao Qin, but the girl was like a small child sharing her most cherished possessions and did not give her a chance to speak. She directly drew her own conclusion. "Miss Bai feels like the mistress of our Wei Yang Palace!” Bai Lian was speechless. Bao Qin!!! I have been so good to you before. And you ended up betraying me with those big, teary eyes.
