46: Ye Chen, what are you doing here?!

Inside Qingxin Hall, there was a deathly silence.

Ouyang Yaoxi looked at Wang Ming, feeling a chill creep up her spine.

Palace Master was even more shaken!

Are young people these days all so ruthless?!

It was one thing for his talent and combat power to be so exaggerated, but he actually freaking knew how to use poison!

She observed a moment of silence for Zhang Wanyi in her heart.

Originally, she hadn't planned to do much to Zhang Wanyi.

Qingxin Palace was currently in need of manpower, and Zhang Wanyi's strength was a great help to the palace.

At most, she would have been locked up for a few years and then released on the grounds of sincere repentance.

But with Wang Ming's interference...

Zhang Wanyi would likely lose a layer of skin even if she didn't die!

Of course, whether she died or not depended on whether Wang Ming's poison was truly as powerful as he claimed.

Palace Master waved her hand, and the Shadow Guard stepped back, merging into the shadows once more.

"Let this matter rest. Yao Xi, starting tomorrow, you will follow me in cultivation, just like Wang Ming."

Ouyang Yaoxi's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly bowed respectfully. "Yes, Yao Xi pays respects to Revered Master!"

Zhang Wanyi wanted to match her with Xiao Ce.

But at the same time, she actually maintained a twisted relationship with Xiao Ce herself.

Staying by Zhang Wanyi's side any longer would have been more painful than death.

Furthermore...

Ouyang Yaoxi refused to admit it even if she were beaten to death, but she also wanted to be closer to Wang Ming.

At this moment, Palace Master suddenly said, "It just so happens that you are both here. I want to introduce someone to you."

"According to the time of apprenticeship, he should be considered your Senior Brother."

She glanced at Wang Ming and changed her tone. "However, on the path of immortal cultivation, it has never been about who came first, but rather about strength. Wang Ming, you shall be the Senior Brother."

"However, above you, there is still a Senior Sister named Gu Qingyi. She is not in the Sect right now; you will naturally meet her in a few days."

Wang Ming nodded, not caring much.

Senior Sister? Senior Sister is good!

His goal was exactly a Senior Sister!

"As for you, Yao Xi, your cultivation is a bit behind. From now on, you shall be the little Junior Sister."

Ouyang Yaoxi respectfully replied, "Yes, Revered Master!"

Wang Ming raised an eyebrow. Little Junior Sister?

This seemed to have a different flavor to it!

"This lecher is torturing me in his mind again!"

Since Ouyang Yaoxi and Wang Ming knew each other's depths, she could tell at a glance that Wang Ming wanted to beat her while calling her 'little Junior Sister'!

"Senior Brother? Isn't this a bit too stimulating?"

Thinking of something, Ouyang Yaoxi's face suddenly turned red.

Palace Master didn't notice the reactions of the two.

At this moment, she was holding a Jade Talisman, silently sending a message.

After a while, a figure walked into the hall.

He was completely shrouded in a black robe, his face invisible.

Seeing him, Wang Ming and Ouyang Yaoxi were both stunned.

It's him!

"I've told you many times that in this Qingxin Palace, you don't need to worry about your safety. You don't need to hide in a black robe all day."

Palace Master shook her head and sighed. She didn't know what this little fellow had been through to make him so cautious.

"Take off the black robe and come meet your Senior Brother and Junior Sister."

Palace Master looked at Wang Ming and Ouyang Yaoxi and said with a smile, "This is your Second Senior Brother, named..."

Halfway through her sentence, the Black-Robed Figure suddenly tore off the robe.

"Wang Ming, long time no see." A cold voice came from his mouth.

"Ye Chen!! Why are you here?!"

Ouyang Yaoxi was completely dazed when she saw his face!

No wonder she had felt a familiar aura from this Black-Robed Figure when she encountered him before.

It turned out he was actually Ye Chen!

Wang Ming was somewhat speechless.

He truly lived up to being a Child of Destiny; it was simply illogical.

Even after being ravaged to that extent, he could still return to the right track!

"You know each other?" Palace Master was a bit surprised, looking back and forth between Wang Ming and Ye Chen.

From Ye Chen's expression, she had a faint bad premonition.

Their acquaintance didn't seem to be on friendly terms.

"More than just knowing him; everything I am is thanks to him!" Ye Chen said coldly.

"Wang Ming, you exterminated my entire Ye Family, not even sparing the children. How is such behavior any different from those Evil Cultivators who kill for pleasure?!"

"Revered Master, a person like him is not worthy of joining the Qingxin Palace!"

Palace Master's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Wang Ming. "Is what he says true?"

She had to be cautious about this!

Qingxin Palace needed talent, very much so!

But the premise was that this person's Heart-Nature must be upright!

If their Heart-Nature was crooked, it would only harm the Qingxin Palace in the end!

Before Wang Ming could speak, Ouyang Yaoxi hurriedly said, "It's not like that, Revered Master. It was Ye Chen's grandfather who attacked Wang Ming first. He wanted to kill Wang Ming, and Wang Ming was only acting in self-defense!"

"Self-defense?" Seeing Ouyang Yaoxi speaking up for Wang Ming, Ye Chen felt a pang in his heart, and his voice turned even colder.

"If it was self-defense, then killing my grandfather would have been enough. How innocent were the rest of my Ye Family? Why did you have to kill them all together?!"

Wang Ming sneered. "There is a tiger on the mountain that wants to eat me. I kill it. But it still has a pack of cubs staring at me with murderous eyes. If I don't kill them, should I wait for them to grow up and bite me?"

"What kind of bullshit logic is that? Grandfather was the strongest person in my Ye Family. Even he was no match for your Wang Family. How could the rest of the Ye Family pose any threat to you?" Ye Chen said indignantly.

"Rather than gambling on an unknown, it's better to eliminate the future trouble forever," Wang Ming said indifferently.

Ye Chen fell silent, not knowing how to refute.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Wang Ming's approach was indeed correct.

If you don't pull out the roots when cutting grass, it will grow back with the spring breeze!

This was a truth that every Cultivator should understand!

Palace Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately!

There was a reason for it, and it was completely understandable!

Things like what Wang Ming did happened far too often.

It was a blood feud.

As long as it wasn't for the sake of seizing treasures or satisfying personal desires by exterminating a whole family...

Then it wasn't a big problem!

However... there was such a massive hatred between Ye Chen and Wang Ming!

Trying to make them fellow Disciples was probably no less difficult than making them a couple!

It seemed... she could only choose one!

Palace Master looked at Ye Chen, then at Wang Ming, and then shook her head vigorously.

What was she doing? There was nothing to hesitate about!

While people with good Heart-Nature were not common, one could always encounter them over time.

But in decades, she had only encountered one opportunity that could lead to the rise of the Qingxin Palace.

And that was Wang Ming!

Thinking of this, she looked at Ye Chen. "Ye Chen, Wang Ming has already taken me as his Revered Master. If you have resentment in your heart and are unwilling to share a Revered Master with Wang Ming..."

"I am willing!" Ye Chen said without hesitation.

He carried a sea of blood and deep hatred, and he urgently needed to rapidly increase his cultivation.

Becoming Palace Master's Disciple would provide him with a large amount of resources.

Furthermore, on the surface, he and Wang Ming would be fellow Disciples. If Wang Ming wanted to move against him, he would have to have some misgivings.

At least, in the Qingxin Palace, Wang Ming wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

How could he possibly miss this opportunity!
