244: Chapter 244 You don’t want them to get hurt!

“You, you are truly shameless, utterly without shame...” Shen Xuerou gritted her teeth after hearing him!

Qin Xiao's threat directly broke her defenses; she genuinely did not wish to see her Junior Sisters or her Sect harmed!

“So, you need to persuade them, that’s the only way they won’t be harmed!”

Qin Xiao smiled slightly, knowing his scheme was working.

This was an overt plot, a straightforward scheme; as long as she cared about these Junior Sisters, it was essentially unsolvable!

This kind of scheme is basically useless against cold-blooded individuals!

It's only effective against people like Shen Xuerou, who are overflowing with a saintly heart.

It wouldn't be very useful against Huo Wu and Leng Qingxue!

“I can try to persuade them, but I can’t guarantee they’ll listen to me!”

After a moment of silence, Shen Xuerou finally spoke; she couldn't control others' thoughts either!

“As long as you’re willing to cooperate with me!”

A smile appeared on Qin Xiao's face; as long as Shen Xuerou took that first step, Qin Xiao was confident he could bind her to his war chariot!

Because compromise is only one step, and then countless steps!

“Alright! Time to get up and get dressed. I’ll send you over later, and you can help me convince your Junior Sisters!”

Qin Xiao patted Shen Xuerou, speaking softly!

Soon, the two got out of bed and got dressed.

Qin Xiao then returned her to that large hall!

“Senior Sister!”

“Xuerou!”

Upon seeing Shen Xuerou appear, everyone immediately gathered around her.

“Senior Sister, are you alright?”

Green Xuan saw that Shen Xuerou’s complexion was a bit pale, so she took her hand and asked with concern!

“No...” Shen Xuerou shook her head!

“Xuerou, that damned lecher! How could he...”

Seeing Shen Xuerou’s weakened state, Huo Wu’s hatred for Qin Xiao deepened, and she gritted her teeth!

She wasn't a fool; she naturally knew what Shen Xuerou had gone through!

Seeing everyone’s concerned expressions, Shen Xuerou’s heart also warmed.

Recalling what Qin Xiao had told her, for a moment she didn't know how to begin speaking!

........

Tianxuan Mountain, within a bamboo forest!

“Qingxue, Senior Sister Qingxue, where exactly are you?”

Long Haoyun sat slumped on a large rock, muttering to himself!

It had been three months, over three months since he came out of the Thousand Mountains Secret Realm.

Initially, everyone thought Leng Qingxue had perished in the Secret Realm, but he refused to believe it, insisting that Leng Qingxue must not be dead!

Facts proved him right; after returning to Tianxuan Mountain, he went to check the soul tablet Leng Qingxue had left behind!

The soul tablet was still intact, which proved she was still alive!

But she had disappeared! And there wasn't a single clue!

She had disappeared directly from the Legacy site of the Ancient Azure Saint!

This made Long Haoyun think of a possibility: he had been schemed against by someone during the assessment, which led to him being coveted and hunted by many.

He had initially suspected Gu Xiuzi, and now he had another suspect: this Iron Rod Lecher, Dong Zhuo!

If he had participated in the Ancient Azure Saint's assessment like himself, judging by the talent and strength the other party displayed, he was very likely the one who had passed the tenth stage assessment first!

If the other party then gained control of the Legacy site, everything would make sense.

The other party had schemed against him and diverted attention.

Then, seeing Leng Qingxue's beautiful appearance, he had detained her!

“Iron Rod Lecher? But he didn’t seem to appear in the previous life!”

Long Haoyun muttered to himself; although he hadn't entered the Thousand Mountains Secret Realm when it opened in his previous life, he still had some understanding of what happened inside!

He hadn't heard of such a figure appearing there, causing such a huge commotion!

“Could it be that my Rebirth has changed some things?” Long Haoyun was completely puzzled!

Long Haoyun’s guess was not wrong; indeed, his Rebirth had changed things!

In his previous life, he had never gone to Lingxiu Mountain, nor had he met Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao hadn't even obtained the Myriad Transformation Saint Realm at that stage!

At that time, Qin Xiao's Clone had searched all over Qing Province, and after not finding a new qi luck child, he went to other provinces to search!

And Qin Xiao’s true body remained motionless, not easily leaving Lingxiu Mountain to venture out into danger!

So naturally, he hadn't entered this Thousand Mountains Secret Realm!

But this life had changed; he ran to Lingxiu Mountain and successfully attracted Qin Xiao’s attention, making Qin Xiao’s gaze constantly fixed on him!

He also followed him into the Thousand Mountains Secret Realm!

“Qingxue, no matter where you are, I will find you one day!”

Long Haoyun secretly vowed in his heart!

Whether in the previous life or this life, Leng Qingxue had always been very kind to him, and she remained his unforgettable first love!

........

On the other side, in the Bronze Ancient Hall!

After refining another Origin True Fire of the Purple-Gold Crimson Nether Flame.

Qin Xiao summoned Shen Xuerou and asked her, “Xuerou, how did you do with the ideological work for those people?”

“This, I have persuaded all my Junior Sisters, but I couldn’t persuade Huo Wu and Qingxue!”

Shen Xuerou said with a complex expression; who would have thought that one day she would actively persuade her Junior Sisters to comply with this man before her!

Although she knew what she was doing was for their own good, she still felt like a sinner!

“I'll handle them myself; you don't need to worry about it!”

Qin Xiao nodded upon hearing this; Shen Xuerou being able to persuade those few strong-willed fellow Junior Sisters was already a pleasant surprise!

As for those who were unwilling, he didn't mind using force; after all, he wasn't a good person!

It's just that if the other party cooperated, it would feel much better, which is why he was willing to put in more effort.

“This, can you let them go?”

Shen Xuerou was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and spoke.

Although she knew it was unlikely, she still wanted to try and fight for it!

“No!” Qin Xiao directly shook his head, “However, if you can offer a bargaining chip that moves me, letting them go is not impossible!”

Nothing was absolute to him; as long as the bargaining chip was sufficient, anything could be discussed.

“This, I obtained a Legacy of the Taiyin True Scripture Cultivation Technique from the Secret Realm. Although it only has nine stages and can only Cultivate to the Saint Realm.

But it is still incredibly precious. If you let my Junior Sisters and Huo Wu go, I am willing to give you this Cultivation Technique!”

Shen Xuerou gritted her teeth and revealed this secret.

This was the Legacy she obtained by passing the ninth stage of the Azure Phoenix Saint; even her Junior Sisters didn't know about it.

Originally, she planned to hand over a copy of the Cultivation Technique Legacy to the Sect after returning!

Now, she intended to use this Cultivation Technique to exchange for an opportunity for her group of Junior Sisters, and Huo Wu and Leng Qingxue, to leave!
