Chapter 285: The Dao of Eating Melons (Part Three)

“We’re about to ascend!”

“Huh?”

Sun Ruowei’s voice shot up an octave.

“Yeah, we’re about to ascend.”

“No way! Celestial Lord, how long have you been in the Third Heaven? Why are you already talking about ascending?” Sun Ruowei asked incredulously.

What kind of ridiculous cultivation speed is this?

“Anyway, we’re ascending soon, so you should figure out your own plans and path instead of just following us around, exploring our matters—that won’t be beneficial to you,” Bai Qiulan said.

“No way! My Dao is all about eating melons— the more I eat, the stronger I get, and the faster my cultivation speed. If you tell me your stories, do you believe I can ascend with you?”

“Let me tell you, the Second Heaven has no secrets for me anymore. That’s precisely why my cultivation has shot up,” Sun Ruowei asserted.

“Huh? Didn’t you say you were cultivating the Dao of Life?” Bai Qiulan was surprised.

Sun Ruowei sheepishly scratched her head.

“Yeah, when I was merging with a Dao, it was indeed the Dao of Life, but somehow it changed while I was cultivating. By the time I broke through to the Transcending Tribulation Realm, my Dao was solidified, and it turned into this.”

“So your Dao is…?”

Sun Ruowei grinned widely.

“The Dao of Eating Melons!”

Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling both slapped their foreheads at the same time.

Their actions were so similar, it was as if they were mirror images.

Even their expressions momentarily matched.

What is the Dao of Eating Melons skilled at?

Observation, of course.

At this moment, Sun Ruowei surprisingly saw Bai Qiulan’s face reflected on Yue Hongling.

She was taken aback.

“Hongling, have you been assimilated by your master? Why do you now look and act just like her?” Sun Ruowei asked curiously.

The question hit Bai Qiulan like a ton of bricks.

Yue Hongling’s expression twisted for a moment, and tears started streaming down her face.

Crying.

Yue Hongling was crying again.

Sun Ruowei froze—what’s happening with Hongling?

Having a good relationship with Bai Qiulan, she was quite familiar with Yue Hongling.

What kind of person is Yue Hongling?

If one had to summarize her in six words, it would be “afraid of neither heaven nor earth.”

This girl had been a tomboy since coming up the mountain, even more resilient than most male disciples in enduring hardships and refusing to back down.

Crying…

Honestly, seeing such an expression on Yue Hongling’s face was quite rare.

And now, how long had it been since Sun Ruowei met her?

Yue Hongling had already cried twice.

How utterly illogical and inconsistent with her character!

“Hongling, why are you crying again? What happened? Tell your senior aunt,” Sun Ruowei said, looking at Yue Hongling, whose tears were flowing uncontrollably, feeling her heart ache.

What’s wrong with this girl?

“Senior Aunt, it’s nothing. It’s just that the Senior Brother doesn’t want me anymore, and I’m sad,” Yue Hongling sniffled.

Sun Ruowei slammed her hand on the table.

“How dare he!”

Both girls stared at her in shock.

Sun Ruowei was furious for a moment, but then she remembered Lu Ye’s strength and…

“Even though he’s strong, there’s still justice in this world. Hongling’s love for him is something anyone with eyes can see; how dare he just discard her like that!” Sun Ruowei said angrily.

“Hongling, tell me what exactly happened? Just as long as we’re right, no matter how strong he is, I will help you get an explanation!”

Yue Hongling…

Could she say she betrayed Lu Ye at the critical moment of his Transcending Tribulation to become a Saint?

Could she say she not only cursed him but also poisoned him?

Could she say Lu Ye had treated her so well while she acted so ungrateful?

Could she say she felt torn between liking Lu Ye and the deceased Feng Wuxie?

Clearly, she could not.

“Ruowei, don’t ask. Both Lu Ye and Hongling made mistakes; let them sort it out themselves. We shouldn’t meddle,” Bai Qiulan said.

“What’s going on!!!”

Bai Qiulan kept her lips sealed, while Yue Hongling was tight-lipped as well.

Sun Ruowei was restless, bouncing around in frustration.

No way, no way, she had to think of a way.

These two didn’t consider her a part of their inner circle at all!

She was about to burst from the suspense.

Wait, got it!

Suddenly, Sun Ruowei’s eyes lit up.

“Waiter, bring me the strongest liquor, three jars right now!”

After all, truth comes out after a drink.

“Never mind, I won’t ask anymore. It’s been a while since the three pillars of the Grand Dao Sect gathered. Let’s not talk about anything else now, just enjoy good food and drink, and toast to my welcoming you and our friendship!”

Bai Qiulan smiled to herself.

This girl is trying to leverage the alcohol to pry information out!

But, just liquor, nothing special.

Amidst the clinking of cups, Sun Ruowei was determined to get Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling drunk.

They tossed away the cups and went straight for bowls!

By the end, they even hoisted up the liquor jars to drink.

Liquor spilled over their clothes.

The three of them were blushing.

“That Lu Ye is really a scumbag, getting involved with you both and then not being responsible. Heartless, ungrateful, let me tell you, when I see him, I will definitely make him pay for it!”

“I’m his senior aunt; I’ve done him no wrong. I’ve treated him well. I don’t believe he would dare raise a hand against me!”

“Auntie, it’s not Lu Ye’s fault; you don’t have to blame him; it’s all my fault,” Yue Hongling said, her eyes hazy from drunkenness.

“Nonsense! Hongling, you’re such a great girl, how could it possibly be your fault? It must be Lu Ye’s fault!”

“Bai Qiulan is also such a good person; she can’t be at fault. He’s truly scum if he has the ability to save his master but won’t!”

“That’s not true; Lu Ye really isn’t at fault. Auntie, don’t say that about him,” Yue Hongling replied, gazing with bleary eyes.

“I’ll say what I want! He’s worse than a beast!”

At this moment, Sun Ruowei was filled with confusion.

How strange…

Yue Hongling had always called Lu Ye Senior Brother, right?

Why is she now calling him Lu Ye?

“Old Bai, what are you staring at? Keep drinking!”

“I’ll tell you, Lu Ye being like this is also your responsibility!”

“What responsibility do I have?”

“You’re his master; you didn’t teach him well and let him be ungrateful instead. How could you fall for your own disciple? What’s so good about him?”

“I remember when your cold poison acted up, and he completely ignored it. With the ability to save you, he just got angry instead.”

“Tell me, how can there be such ungrateful creatures in this world?”

Bai Qiulan sighed.

“It was me who didn’t let him save.”

“If you didn’t let him save, then he wouldn’t? If you told him to go die, would he just obediently die? Women are all deceitful; doesn’t he know this? Bastard, scumbag, beast!”

Sun Ruowei cussed.

“Lu Ye isn’t like this; actually, we have to blame ourselves.”

“What do you mean blame yourselves? I don’t believe you can be at fault. Tell me where you went wrong!”

Bai Qiulan suddenly fell silent.
