Chapter 288: It Can’t Be That Ruthless, Right?

Fruit buddy…

A name automatically popped into Lu Ye’s mind.

Sun Ruowei.

How should one describe this Sun Ruowei?

Lu Ye had a deep impression of her, after all, she was the first person to be shocked about the watermelon she was eating even at the moment of death. It was the first time Lu Ye encountered someone like that.

There are really people who keep munching on a watermelon right before they kick the bucket.

She’s Bai Qiulan’s best friend, and one could say she’s an absolute member of the Bai Qiulan fan club.

Lu Ye is on Bai Qiulan’s side, so Sun Ruowei is firmly on Lu Ye’s opposing side.

Lu Ye and Bai Qiulan are rivals, so Sun Ruowei and Lu Ye are also rivals.

The fondness for eating watermelons is somewhat annoying, even a bit torturous. Nobody likes someone constantly digging into their secrets.

But Sun Ruowei isn’t prying into her secrets, so what does that have to do with him?

It’s just fine that she wants to uncover Bai Qiulan’s secrets. When she discovers Bai Qiulan’s true self, how will the two of them get along?

Sun Ruowei probably never imagined that her gentle, kind-hearted best friend had such a terrifying side.

“Ding! I originally wanted to timely witness Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling’s love-hate relationship, but due to my emotional outburst, I exposed myself and was targeted by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, so I couldn’t see.”

“I had no choice but to let my fruit buddy help me out, but they turned into a total fool and couldn’t squeeze any words from those two. Their lips are truly sealed tight.”

The system chattered endlessly.

“Ding! I felt like they were about to have the fiercest fight, what a pity. Stupid Nine Heavens, annoying Nine Heavens.”

“Beep! Sister.”

“Ding! You’re really not pulling your weight, why aren’t you helping me take on the Nine Heavens?”

“Beep! I don’t dare…”

Lu Ye listened to the system and Heavenly Dao chattering in his head.

He had a rough idea of what was happening.

The system was in constant communication with Sun Ruowei.

Because the system was too focused on the drama, it got spotted by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, and they were directly shot down, making it impossible for the system to closely observe the juicy drama between Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling.

After all, there was a layer of heaven in between.

The higher up, the stronger the Great Sage’s Dao became.

From Lu Ye’s standpoint in the Third Heaven, he would have to travel to the Fourth Heaven just to take down An Li with a solid strike, which speaks for itself.

Saints exist beyond the Heavenly Dao.

To a certain extent, they impose restrictions on the Dao.

The system obviously couldn’t square off against the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens just for the sake of a little gossip.

“What did Sun Ruowei say?”

Lu Ye asked.

“Ding! She said that when she first met Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling, she gave each of them a hug. Bai Qiulan’s body temperature was normal, while Yue Hongling’s was ice-cold.”

Lu Ye chuckled.

It seems that being with this good mentor has really benefitted Yue Hongling.

In the past life, he could bear all for Bai Qiulan all by himself.

The only thing he couldn’t withstand was Bai Qiulan’s own thoughts.

And now, he wasn’t helping Bai Qiulan bear the load anymore.

So, not to mention anything else, just wanting to survive would consume all her energy.

How is Yue Hongling feeling right now?

With Bai Qiulan’s method of dumping Chaos Yin Poison mercilessly, how much longer can Yue Hongling endure?

Under such pain, such endless pain, how much longer can Yue Hongling’s Dao of the Fearless hold up?

Thinking of this, Lu Ye couldn’t help but revel in his satisfaction.

He was too twisted.

This feeling of satisfaction made Lu Ye feel it was much more enjoyable than scheming against a group of strong people.

“Ding! That’s not even the main point.”

There’s more?

Lu Ye perked his ears up.

“Ding! The main point is, when Yue Hongling met with the fruit buddy, she cried three times. Can you imagine that scene? Talking along, and suddenly her face doesn’t change, but tears just flow down!”

“Ding! When the fruit buddy told me this, I doubted she was telling me a ghost story.”

Lu Ye…

He already sensed something was off.

Yue Hongling was definitely not the type to cry easily; only if she completely breaks down would she behave this way.

“Keep talking!”

“Ding! Also, the fruit buddy said that when she was with Yue Hongling, she saw Bai Qiulan’s shadow in her, and inwardly reflected that as long as they spent enough time together, their appearances, personalities, and behaviors would start to resemble one another.”

“Ding! The host and I have been together for a long time, so the host is getting more and more handsome too.”

Lu Ye ignored the system’s playful comment.

Sun Ruowei saw Bai Qiulan’s shadow in Yue Hongling?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Why? Because it’s simple, in the last life, Yue Hongling spent more time with Bai Qiulan, so why didn’t she see Bai Qiulan’s shadow then?

It hasn’t been long since the rebirth, and she’s already seen a shadow?

There’s definitely something off.

But what is it?

Lu Ye contemplated.

To be honest, Lu Ye was now very clear that Bai Qiulan was a hypocritical person.

But even if you killed him, he wouldn’t think of the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique in this direction.

Because if this technique is used on his own disciple, the one he’s most reluctant to use it on, that’s not just hypocrisy; that’s wickedness, the most intolerable acts in the world.

Out of eight women, only Shangguan Huanling was foolish.

From the betrayal, one could see some bad traits, but it hasn’t reached the level of universally condemned by gods and men.

One possible scenario crossed Lu Ye’s mind.

Despite losing faith, amid the mountain of techniques, his gaze ultimately fell on the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique.

“No way…”

Even though Lu Ye is a reborn Celestial Lord, a hint of shock still flashed in his eyes at this moment.

Bai Qiulan wouldn’t go that far, would she?

Yue Hongling…

“Ding! Host, what are you thinking about?”

The system asked curiously.

“Nothing. Can’t say for sure, perhaps once they ascend, I can see if there’s any truth to this,” Lu Ye replied calmly.

“Ding! Alright, hurry up and ascend! I’m quite curious too!”

He set aside this matter for now.

Lu Ye asked Lin Chuyue for a favor, asking her to contact the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to help him locate the positions of the two sects’ Heaven and Earth Realms.

With the existence of black mist, locking down the position would be pretty simple.

Lu Ye was also thinking of quickly resolving his Aroma of Achievement in Dao issue. The Heaven and Earth Realms of these two sects would be the best helpers for him.

Lin Chuyue did not decline this request.

Her figure quickly vanished.

Soon, the Transmitting Stone trembled.

“Lu Ye, I found one! It’s at Doushi Mountain!”

“Great, I’m on my way!”

In an instant, Lu Ye transformed into a streak of flowing light, flying towards Doushi Mountain.

This time, he wouldn’t rely on formations; he’d take on the Heaven and Earth Realm one-on-one!
