The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 11: The Secret of the Melon Field

Bai Qiulan noticed Sun Ruowei's shock and felt a bit awkward inside.

Logically speaking, someone like Chu Ling, a mere servant girl, should never address Bai Qiulan as "Sister Bai."

But the key here was that, sometimes under forced circumstances, such titles could become very peculiar.

Words like "good husband," "good brother," "concubine," "maid," "sister," and "little sister" were all quite normal in such situations.

Chu Ling addressing Bai Qiulan as "sister" was simply because they had once happened to end up together.

After that, since they had started calling each other in such a manner, and their cultivations weren’t too far apart, and they were all on Lu Ye’s "pirate ship," Bai Qiulan hadn’t corrected the way Chu Ling addressed her.

However, at this very moment...

Chu Ling definitely should not have called her "sister."

Their positions were far apart—one was the youngest elder of the Grand Dao Sect, with the best talent, and had the potential to even fight for the position of sect leader if she had the will.

The other was an outside cultivator, just at the Yuan Dan stage.

To hear her call someone else "sister" when her role was a servant?

Sun Ruowei felt as if she had just caught the scent of an enormous melon.

An incredibly sweet and crisp melon!

After all, Bai Qiulan was known as the Ice Mountain Beauty of the Grand Dao Sect. When she first entered the sect, the number of people who pursued her was as numerous as fish in the river.

This included, but was not limited to, people within the sect. Even the sect leader had publicly stated that if he were to choose a Dao companion, it would be someone like Bai Qiulan—an exceptional and independent woman.

"Ruowei, you go out first. I need to speak with her," Bai Qiulan said, glancing at Sun Ruowei.

"Huh? This is my Dao courtyard..." Sun Ruowei certainly didn’t want to leave. Her ears were already perked up like antennae. For her to leave now would be worse than killing her!

"Hm?" Bai Qiulan glanced at her.

Sun Ruowei sighed. The lingering authority of her senior sister still stood, and she reluctantly stepped out, glancing back three times as she left the room.

The door was wide open, and she didn’t close it.

Bai Qiulan gently shook her head and waved her hand to close the door.

Sun Ruowei quickly pressed her body against the door, straining to listen for any explosive content from inside.

A soundproofing barrier immediately activated.

Sun Ruowei became frantic.

Good heavens! This is so tight? There’s definitely a huge scoop! A shocking scoop!

Sun Ruowei trembled all over, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts of breaking the soundproof barrier.

At this moment, the "wild monkeys" in Lu Xun’s writings perfectly showcased themselves on Sun Ruowei.

Bai Qiulan waited for a moment, confirming that Sun Ruowei hadn’t attempted to break the soundproof barrier, before letting out a soft sigh.

She understood this junior sister well, and she knew that from now on, there would probably be some time without peace.

She turned her gaze to Chu Ling.

"You said you misunderstood Lu Ye, what happened?" Bai Qiulan asked.

Chu Ling’s expression was full of melancholy.

"Earlier, I said the Young Master always kept me imprisoned, not allowing me to return home. When I finally got back home, the entire Chu Sword Manor had been destroyed."

"At that time, the Young Master even said Chu Sword Manor deserved it."

Thinking back on what had happened, Chu Ling couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.

"I always thought the Young Master was imprisoning me, just to possess me, to have a pretty servant girl."

"The destruction of Chu Sword Manor left me without a home, and I could only follow him forever, as he fulfilled his own purpose."

"But now, we’ve come back, and I immediately returned to Chu Sword Manor."

"This time, the Young Master didn’t stop me."

"Who would have thought, who would have thought that after I went back..."

Chu Ling was already crying uncontrollably.

Bai Qiulan gently patted Chu Ling’s back. She and Chu Ling had shared the same bed many times and fought side by side on more than one occasion, so their bond was naturally strong.

Moreover, she, Hongling, and Chu Ling were the earliest to get to know each other, and she had always considered Chu Ling as a little sister. Seeing her cry like this, Bai Qiulan couldn’t help but feel her heartache as well.

"Who would have thought, after I returned, I realized... it was all a lie! Everything was fake!"

"The kindness they showed me was all fake. Their goal from the very beginning was to use me as material for forging the demon sword. I was the chosen sacrificial offering, the person who would be sacrificed in place of my adopted brother."

"After I left, they killed my real parents out of anger."

"There was a guard who had treated me well when I was young. When he saw me return, he was the first to warn me to leave, and the next day, he was dead."

"It was the Young Master, it was the Young Master who didn’t want me to see their ugly faces, didn’t want my beautiful memories of them destroyed. That’s why he kept stopping me from ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) going back."

"The Young Master has never wronged me. He has always been protecting me in every way!"

Chu Ling burst into tears.

And what did she do? She actually poisoned the Young Master with the Celestial Frozen Poison. How could she be so cruel and heartless!

After learning the truth, Chu Ling had already lost the will to live.

She felt like a joke.

She had resented him for so long and had desperately returned to a place that turned out to be a demon’s den.

When Li Jian attacked her in Chu Sword Manor, she didn’t dodge. She acted like a walking corpse.

It wasn’t until Li Jian said, "Tsk, how pitiful. Looks like you’re the only one left who’s holding on. Well, let me send you on your way!" that Chu Ling came to her senses.

No!

There was still someone in this world she cared about.

The Young Master!

She had definitely hurt the Young Master, and had hurt him deeply. She had to atone for her sins. She needed to ask for his forgiveness and heal the wounds she had caused him.

She fought with all her strength to make it to the Grand Dao Sect.

She had finally survived.

Bai Qiulan was deeply shaken when she heard Chu Ling’s words.

So this was the truth!

Bai Qiulan had known about Chu Ling’s suffering, and had even scolded Lu Ye about it before.

Lu Ye had responded with a cheeky grin and never countered her words.

Now that she thought about it, he hadn’t wanted anyone to know this matter, likely out of fear of hurting Chu Ling.

In the past life, he had always protected Chu Ling carefully.

Just now, when he heard that Chu Ling was severely injured outside the sect, all he had to do was say "I recognize her," and she would have been saved.

But instead, he said "I don’t recognize her."

Bai Qiulan sighed inwardly, and her gaze toward Chu Ling became filled with pity. It seemed that getting Lu Ye’s forgiveness would be very difficult for her.

"Don’t think about so much right now. What you need to focus on is healing. Once your injuries are better, work hard on your cultivation, and become the sharpest sword in Lu Ye’s hand."

"Those wounds can be healed with time."

"Lu Ye’s heart is soft. As long as you persist, he will eventually be moved and forgive you," Bai Qiulan advised Chu Ling.

Chu Ling nodded vigorously, her fists clenched tightly!

In fact, she knew deep down that the Young Master had never treated her as the strongest sword by his side. What he had always loved most was her personal care.

She would definitely earn his forgiveness.

"And one more thing."

Chu Ling looked at Bai Qiulan.

"From now on, don’t call me Sister Bai. Just call me Senior Bai. When I was in the chaos of the Taiyin poison, Lu Ye did that desperate thing to save me. Afterward, it was one mistake after another, but now, things are being set right. I can now control the power of the Chaos Taiyin. That kind of thing will never happen again."

"Therefore, there is no future between me and Lu Ye!"
