High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Jiang Yue'er's hands were trembling; she was even on the verge of collapse.

Although the first phase is about to end, Su Jie will not let them leave now.

He killed so many people and looted so many crystals in front of them, how could he possibly let them leave now?

Then they will have to stay here for another hundred years.

Jiang Yue'er dared not think about how she would continue to live if she lost this identity in the next hundred years.

Will she be destined to wallow in the company of those lowly employees from now on?

No, she might not even be as good as those employees.

Because Su Jie must have a great relationship with Jiang Rou'er, how will Su Jie torment her in the future?

To let everyone see her being humiliated? To make her suffer the humiliation of being forced to crawl between someone's legs every day, without even receiving those three high-grade crystals?

No, no.

Jiang Yue'er's fingernails dug deep into her palms, and blood seeped from between her fingers, but she was completely unaware.

She is unique in the outside world; she is the Dao Child of the Heavenly Maiden Temple, an existence that countless geniuses look up to.

Here, she must be the only one.

She absolutely cannot lose her identity as "Su Jie's Daoist Partner".

Without this identity, she has nothing.

She was not Jiang Rou'er, she was not his lover, she was just a liar, a patricide, a pitiful creature mocked by more than two hundred female disciples.

She must stop Bai Zhi from revealing her past to Su Jie, no matter what method she uses.

Jiang Yue'er closed her eyes, forcefully suppressing the fear and anger that was about to overflow.

She opened her eyes, looked at Su Jie, and said in a clear but trembling voice, "She... is the Holy Maiden of our Heavenly Maiden Temple, named Bai Zhi."

Su Jie raised an eyebrow and smiled, "From the Heavenly Maiden Temple? That's perfect. You know them?"

Jiang Yue'er's throat tightened, and her voice became hoarse: "...We know each other. Not very well."

Su Jie nodded and raised his hand to make a gesture.

Below, on the ruins, Bai Zhi's figure was lifted up by an invisible force and landed steadily on the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

Bai Zhi's figure swayed slightly, and she staggered a step, as if she was startled by the sudden force.

She raised her head, her eyes filled with just the right amount of panic and confusion. Her gaze swept over the more than two hundred kneeling women in white dresses on the sword, and her pupils contracted slightly.

Bai Zhi's face paled slightly, her lips trembled, and her voice trembled just the right amount: "Senior Sister Jiang...?"

Her gaze finally fell on Jiang Yue'er. Like a drowning person grabbing onto the last piece of driftwood, she staggered forward two steps, her voice filled with shock and fear:

"What...what are they doing? Aren't they disciples of the Nine Great Temples? And what about Eternal Willow Heart Moon from our Heavenly Maiden Temple? Why is she kneeling here?"

Her voice grew increasingly rapid, and her eyes reddened, as if she were terrified.

"And that one, isn't that the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws? I've seen her before, why... why is she dressed like that too?"

She turned her head sharply to look at Su Jie, her eyes filled with fear and wariness. She instinctively took a half step back, her voice trembling:

"Who...who are you? Why are you standing with Senior Sister Jiang?"

She glanced at Su Jie, then at Jiang Yue'er, and as if suddenly realizing something, her pupils contracted sharply.

"Senior Sister Jiang... why... why did you let him stand so close to you? Didn't you say... men are all ants?"

Didn't you say... that the Dao Child of the Celestial Maiden Temple would never allow any man to get close?

Her voice grew softer and softer, trembling with disbelief, as if she were questioning someone or confirming some terrible fact.

"Why are you standing next to him now? You seem to be covered in his scent?"

She didn't finish her sentence, but the fear and confusion in her eyes said it all.

Su Jie looked at Bai Zhi with a smile, but didn't rush to speak.

Her acting was so good that even Su Jie couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart.

On the Great Luo Sword Embryo, the old employees who had known Bai Zhi for over ninety years all had their heads down and were expressionless.

They had already been warned by Su Jie not to reveal that Bai Zhi was once Su Jie's employee number 001.

Jiang Yue'er's face turned ashen the instant she heard this series of questions.

Yes, she was covered in this man's scent; even she could smell it.

Even within her primordial universe, the aura of this scum was palpable.

How can this scoundrel have so much energy?

Her fingers were trembling, her lips were quivering, and her throat felt like it was blocked by something, preventing her from uttering a single word.

She hates Bai Zhi.

He hated her for saying those words in front of Su Jie.

"Men are all ants," she said publicly in the Heavenly Maiden Temple, and countless disciples had heard it.

"The Daoist of the Celestial Maiden Temple will never allow any man to get close to her," she said herself, using it as a slogan to glorify herself and suppress her opponents.

But now, she's standing next to a man. How can she explain? She can't explain.

She could only stand there, her face pale, her fingers trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Su Jie stood beside her, watching the scene with a smile. He reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

Jiang Yue'er suppressed the humiliation and anger that was about to overflow, and leaned stiffly against Su Jie's chest, without saying a word.

Su Jie glanced down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, then looked up at Bai Zhi, his tone languid:

"My name is Su Jie, a Dao Child of the Primordial Holy Temple. As for why your Senior Sister Jiang is standing with me?"

He paused, then lowered his head and kissed Jiang Yue'er on the forehead, saying with a smile, "Because she is my only Daoist partner, Jiang Rou'er."

Bai Zhi's eyes widened, her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, as if she had been stunned by the information.

Jiang Yue'er's mind went blank.

She remained silent for a few moments, intending to wait until the topic was over before privately threatening Bai Zhi not to speak carelessly.

Why did Su Jie go up and respond? Is this innocent-looking woman really that charming?

Moreover, Su Jie directly revealed her disguised identity to Bai Zhi's face.

The moment she uttered the name "Jiang Rou'er," all her previous plans came to naught.

Bai Zhi already knew her name was "Jiang Rou'er".

It was too late for her to find Bai Zhi and tell her not to talk nonsense later.

Jiang Yue'er could only stare intently at Bai Zhi, her eyes unblinking, to see how she would answer.

Her gaze darted back and forth between Su Jie and Jiang Yue'er, and she asked in confusion:

"Jiang... Jiang Rou'er? Senior Sister Jiang, when... when did you change your name to Jiang Rou'er?"

Her voice carried just the right amount of confusion, as if she were genuinely bewildered.

"Haven't you always called yourself Jiang Yue'er? The Dao Child of the Heavenly Maiden Temple, Jiang Yue'er, who doesn't know her? Your deceased sister was called Jiang Rou'er."

The moment Jiang Yue'er heard those words, her face turned deathly pale.
