Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

"It's a pity that I used up a batch of elixirs and magical tools when I fought against the Qingxuan Sect. Otherwise, my wealth would be even greater."

Thinking this, Bai Yuan turned back to the bed and continued to practice his skills to heal his wounds.

……

That evening.

Ye Shuang'er came again, bringing freshly brewed medicine soup and pills, and changed the gauze for Bai Yuan.

Compared to yesterday, Ye Shuang'er had faint dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well all night. She was also very silent while applying the medicine.

Bai Yuan was extremely worried, fearing that his disciple would suddenly pick up a knife and stab him from behind.

Before leaving.

Bai Yuan called Ye Shuang'er and coughed lightly, "Shuang'er, has anything happened in the sect these days? You look a little depressed. Could it be that you have encountered a difficult problem?"

Ye Shuang'er hesitated for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Master, I do have something I don't understand, and I would like to seek your guidance."

"Ok?"

Under Bai Yuan's inquiring gaze, Ye Shuang'er finally mustered up the courage to raise her head and meet her gaze. "Disciple wishes to know... what exactly was Master thinking when he threw me into the snake cave?"

"..."

Bai Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he remained silent. He looked at Ye Shuang'er with an extremely sincere and determined gaze:

"Why did you think of asking this?"

"That happened many years ago. I was planning to take it to my grave, but it's okay to tell you now. I did it... to save you."

"?"

Chapter 10

Ye Shuang'er really didn't sleep all night last night.

She took the letter with the nostalgic message home and read it over and over again. Every time she read it, her mind would unconsciously recall the tender moments of the past, making her despise herself for repaying kindness with enmity.

but……

Once she put the letter down, she recalled other images:

For over a decade, Blood Kite had subjected her to endless harsh criticism, verbal abuse, and even various forms of punishment that disregarded her dignity. Just thinking about these cruel methods made Ye Shuang'er's pretty face turn pale, her lips dry, and she unconsciously bent her legs, becoming restless.

Jiang Wanrong's mention of "Senior Sister" also made her suspicious.

She never doubted that there was something wrong with the letter.

It just feels a bit strange—

One is the cruel and violent "Demon Lord" who treats human life as a joke; the other is the "Master" who is so kind to her that he would rather commit suicide by banging his sword than hurt her. These two completely different images keep appearing in her mind, making it impossible for her to tell which one is real and which one is fake.

If she keeps thinking like this, she might become schizophrenic.

therefore.

Ye Shuang'er decided to ask her master in person about the events of the past.

If "Blood Kite" told her the truth and told her that he threw her into the snake cave to kill her, then she still wouldn't attack Bai Yuan. She would just write off all past grudges and sever ties with the Hidden Moon Sect, not helping either side.

And if it weren't for...

Honestly speaking, Ye Shuang'er couldn't imagine any legitimate reason why "Blood Kite" could do such an inhumane thing to her.

Until she heard Bai Yuan's answer——

"'Poisonous Body' is a rare physique. Those who possess it are born with the ability to use their internal organs as a nest to cultivate poison, transforming and manipulating it in various ways. When the technique is perfected, no grass will grow wherever it touches. However, at the same time, the 'poisonous body''s own life will also enter a countdown, and they will gradually be devoured by the poison, and finally die slowly in the agony of the myriad poisons."

"To others, the 'Poison Body' is a sharp knife. Once cultivated, it can kill everyone. But to those who possess this physique, it is a curse. Just like the [Way of Time] that Master cultivates."

"If they weren't deceived, who would take the initiative to practice such a technique with such serious drawbacks?"

"That's why, the first time I saw you, I decided to take you in as my disciple, and I tried to fight poison with poison to get rid of this physical condition."

"Unfortunately, this method failed..."

"Without any other options, I had to seek a solution by reading numerous ancient texts. This is why I didn't allow you to practice Gu magic before..."

Bai Yuan spoke more and more fluently.

If she hadn't inherited the memories of her previous life and knew the truth, she would have almost believed it herself.

Ye Shuang'er was a little confused: "Is that so?"

She had a vague idea of ​​why Blood Kite was cultivating the Way of Time. Having endured similar hardships before, she felt a surge of kindness upon seeing her. It made sense logically. But... something just didn't seem right.

the other side.

Bai Yuan finally pulled out his powerful weapon. "After returning from this injury, I thought I was doomed, so I've been thinking about how to help you resolve your 'toxic body' issue. Fortunately, the heavens have favored me, and I've lived for a few more days. During these two days, I gained inspiration and was able to complete the incomplete prescription."

"Here, this is it."

As he said this, Bai Yuan took out a crimson letter written in blood from his arms.

That's right.

It was indeed written in blood.

Bai Yuan had reviewed the "Guling Melting Blood Pill" recipe provided by the system. The content was fine, similar to the recipe she remembered players later collecting, but the format was a bit ordinary and lacked impact. So, after much contemplation, she decided to rewrite it with her own blood, to show how much she shed tears.

I had previously cut my arm with a knife to let the blood out, and it was quite painful.

But after it was actually written, the visual effect it brought was the most shocking!

really.

As the smell of fresh blood spread in the air.

Before Ye Shuang'er could even read the contents of the blood letter, she immediately opened her beautiful eyes wide and opened her cherry lips slightly: "Master, you..."

"Ah."

Bai Yuan smiled, his face looking a little pale under the candlelight. "There is no writing brush in the room, and I don't want to bother you anymore, so I can only use the material available and record it with blood."

"Take it and compare it with the herbs in my Ice Jade Box to see if there's anything missing. I'll help you think of a solution."

At Bai Yuan's signal, Ye Shuang'er took the blood letter and read it line by line.

"Three silver berries, one section of black gold whisker, two ounces of thousand-year-old toad venom..."

One prescription has not been finished yet.

Ye Shuang'er's tears welled up, rolling down like beads from a broken string. She then suddenly rushed forward, hugged Bai Yuan on the bed, and said in a tearful voice:

"Master, it's my fault! Shuang'er shouldn't have listened to others' instigation and doubted you! No matter how many faults you have, you are still Shuang'er's most respected Master. Shuang'er is not worthy of your expending so much thought on her!"

"Well……"

Bai Yuan is now in loli form.

So, her body shape is actually two sizes smaller than Ye Shuang'er.

When Ye Shuang'er rushed over and hugged her, she was almost completely enveloped by him, her face buried in the warmth of his embrace, receiving a solid wave of facial cleanser. However, in order to maintain her Master's image, she could not say anything and could only hold her breath and wait silently, while noticing the words that passed by her sight -

【Volatility value +1000! 】

"That's it."

This was the first time Bai Yuan had seen a four-digit fluctuation value.

It seems that half a bowl of blood was not put in vain.

Adhering to the principle of pursuing victory, Bai Yuan struggled slightly and stretched out his right hand, gently patting Ye Shuang'er's back. At the same time, his voice, slightly muffled by his face being covered, said, "Alright, stop crying. In the eyes of the world, I am indeed a murderous villain. Those in the righteous path are eager to eat my flesh, which is understandable. But for you, I have never considered abandoning you."

"Master..."

Ye Shuang'er paused, then cried even louder, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

then.

Bai Yuan was hugged tighter. Through her tear-soaked coat, she could even feel the warmth of the girl's skin, as if they were being honest with each other.

[Volatility +300!]

Chapter 11 Bai Yuan's Head-Patting Kill

Two waves of large points were credited to the account.

Bai Yuan was excited but also a little guilty.

how to say……

Compared to the eldest disciple Qingluo, who had her heart and bones ripped out, Ye Shuang'er's treatment at Blood Kite was indeed quite good. However, this "good" was the difference between 0 and 1... well, to be more precise, Qingluo's score should have been negative.

Although she has now used a combination of coaxing and deceiving to make the master and disciple temporarily "put aside their differences", this cannot erase the humiliation and fear that Ye Shuang'er once suffered.

and……

If this trust based on lies is exposed again, the blow Ye Shuang'er will suffer will probably be much heavier than before, and she might even go crazy.

"That's all."

"Be nicer to this child from now on. This will help Blood Kite atone for his sins..."

Bai Yuan thought so.

Waited for a while.

Only when Ye Shuang'er's crying subsided a little did Bai Yuan and the others speak up, "Shuang'er, your teacher also has something I want to ask you."

“…Master, please speak.”

Ye Shuang'er stopped crying with great difficulty, then wiped her tears, loosened her arms that were holding Bai Yuan, and spoke with sobs.

Bai Yuan coughed lightly and continued, "You just said that you mistakenly believed in someone else's instigation and came to ask me about what happened back then. Could it be that... someone from Qingxuan Sect has already contacted you?"

The answer to this question is yes.

However, it was one thing for Bai Yuan to know it in his heart, but it was another thing to hear Ye Shuang'er say it out loud.

"……Yes."

The last trace of hesitation faded from Ye Shuang'er's face, and she confessed, "Several years ago, when I followed Master's orders and descended the mountain to the East China Sea, I met Elder Kong Xuan once, and that's how I became connected to the Qingxuan Sect... This time, they spread the news that Master was seriously injured, and sent disciples Xiao Qing and Jiang Wanrong to kill you completely."

"It turns out it was them..."

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

She had some impression of these two guys.

It wasn't because it had appeared in Blood Kite's memory, but because of the previous life—

The protagonist of "Asking the Immortal" is a righteous person, so most of the NPCs encountered in the early stages are also righteous people. For example, Xiao Qing has the "Peer Prodigy Faced by Player Pretentiousness" scenario, which mainly serves to highlight the protagonist's awesomeness. Jiang Wanrong, on the other hand, is the target of some players' early strategy. In addition to her good looks, she also has considerable intelligence gathering skills, making her a "brain trust" for the player team.

But now...

Since they have already posed a threat to him, Bai Yuan could no longer care about the old friendship from his previous life.

"We have to find a way to drive them out."

"Or... let them stay forever!"

Bai Yuan thought about this and looked at Ye Shuang'er again. While carefully observing her subtle expression, he said, "Shuang'er, you haven't cut off contact with them yet, right?"

"I want you to do something for me, which is..."

"Using the excuse that I'm seriously injured and dying, lure them here, and then, capture them all in one fell swoop!"

When he said the last sentence, Bai Yuan's tone became murderous.

Seeing this, Ye Shuang'er shuddered subconsciously, as if some unpleasant memories had been brought back. However, because the emotional card she had played was still working, she mustered up her courage, looked up at Bai Yuan's face, and waited for her to continue her instructions.

To put it bluntly, this plan is to lure the snake out of its hole.

The key lies in how to make Qingxuanmen believe that Bai Yuan is seriously injured and cannot be cured, and how to get rid of them after luring them out.

The first question would depend on Ye Shuang'er. Although she had previously rejected the "Master Killing" order, she hadn't fallen out with Xiao Qing and the others. As long as she acted convincingly enough, Xiao Qing and the others would definitely come over to check on the situation.

The last question...

It will fall on the magic weapons, poisons, and the system left by "Blood Kite".

After the blood letter and the hug, Bai Yuan's "fluctuation value" was close to 2000. With Ye Shuang'er's current obedience, it shouldn't be difficult to get a few hundred more from this little girl to make up the total. Then she could redeem two large lucky bags. Even if the first one failed, the second one wouldn't be a problem.
