Wang Xueer originally thought that he wanted her to move out of Lingjian Peak. After all, she had mentioned Yun Shangji's matter in front of Pei Yun before, which made Luo Qi very disgusted, and the two had a quarrel because of this.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qi said something shocking right away: "Xue'er, let's get a divorce."

Wang Xueer was stunned for a moment, looking at the person opposite in disbelief. Gradually, her shocked expression turned into ridicule, and she sneered:

"I didn't want to mention the secret realm of Medicine King Valley anymore and just pretend that nothing happened, but I didn't expect you to push it further..."

"It's my fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I just don't want to deceive myself or you anymore. We've been married for many years. Although we got together because of that accident, I've tried very hard to live in harmony with you over the years. But relationships can't be forced. I don't want to make the same mistake over and over again..."

"I just realized that you are so childish and selfish..."

Wang Xueer was no longer as gentle and kind as before. Instead, she seemed to have given up pretending. Her face was full of disgust. She mocked, "It was you who said in front of me that you would take responsibility and marry me, but now you have a guilty look and want to divorce me. It was you who proposed the marriage, and it was also you who proposed the divorce. Am I just a stepping stone for you to move on and awaken yourself? Oh no, maybe I'm just a grinding stone between you and your childhood sweetheart, right!"

"This is my fault alone. It has nothing to do with Su Yue. If you want to scold someone, just scold me."

"But scolding you won't do me any good."

Wang Xueer took a deep breath, and after a long while, she calmed down. "If you want to divorce me now, I won't agree. Since you have no feelings for me, then let's not talk about feelings, but about interests. You are Luo Rufeng's disciple, a genius of the Yunshan School, and the Luo family is also a prominent family in Yongning City. There must be no shortage of resources. How about this, you provide me with resources, and when I break through to the Nascent Soul stage one day, I will agree to divorce..."

"Do you really have to be like this?" Luo Qi raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. All he talked about was interests. His shrewd face no longer had the innocence that he had when they first met. He felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Luo Qi, you forced me to do this!"

Wang Xueer stood up and said sternly, "You are the one who is wearing away my feelings for you bit by bit. Tell me from your heart how I have treated you over the years, but you have been avoiding me again and again. What qualifications do you have to ask me back? You owe me!"

As she spoke, she walked towards the door, her back to him, her eyes unconsciously reddened, but her voice became even colder:

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I will not move out of Lingjian Peak. I am your wife, so naturally I must follow my husband. As long as you are in Lingjian Peak, I will be in Lingjian Peak. If you want me to move out, then you can move with me..."

After he finished speaking, he left the room without waiting for Luo Qi's answer...

After Wang Xueer left, she went down the mountain alone and came to the Shanhe Hall of the sect.

"Junior Sister Wang, you are here to pay homage to Elder Ru again..."

The disciples guarding Shanhe Hall greeted them familiarly. The Shanhe Hall was filled with tablets of disciples who sacrificed their lives fighting against the demons or made significant contributions to the sect. Wang Xueer could be considered one of the most diligent people there.

"I haven't been here for a long time. I have been in seclusion. Now I have broken through to the Golden Core Stage. I want to tell Elder Ruqing."

Wang Xueer showed a faint smile of sentimentality, came to Ruqing's tablet, bowed respectfully, and lit a stick of incense.

She silently looked at the words "Ruqing" on the tablet, her eyes slightly moistened, and she recalled the past...

She was born into a wealthy ordinary family. When she reached the age of 18, her mother had already chosen a marriage for her with a man of equal social status. She thought that the future trajectory of her life would be to get married, have children, and live an ordinary life.

Who would have thought that one day an old Taoist priest came to the mansion and said that he could cure his brother's paralysis, but the prerequisite was that she had to follow the old Taoist priest. His mother was willing to sacrifice her for her little son.

Wang Xueer watched her mother begging her to save her younger brother. Her father sighed and ordered the servants to lock her in the room and not let her escape. She hid in the room and cried in despair.

Later she found out that the old Taoist was an evil cultivator. Because she had spiritual roots, this man wanted to use her as a cauldron to absorb her yin and replenish her yang to improve her cultivation.

Just when she was feeling hopeless, it was Elder Ruqing who saved her.

"Don't be afraid, little girl."

At that moment, Elder Ruqing seemed to be surrounded by a gentle glow. He had a few strands of white hair on his temples. He looked to be about thirty years old, handsome, and his melancholy eyes were filled with compassionate tenderness. This scene was deeply engraved in her heart...

Elder Ruqing originally wanted to send her home, but Wang Xueer refused. She didn't want to see the ugly faces of her family again, so she insisted on following him, and he took her back to the sect.

Only then did Wang Xueer know that he was an outer sect elder of the Yunshan Sect. She did have spiritual roots, but they were only upper-grade yellow spiritual roots, so she could only serve as a menial disciple in the outer sect.

She came to the residence of menial disciples with her dream of cultivating immortality and her admiration for Elder Ruqing, but then she suffered endless hardships, and incidents of oppression and bullying occurred one after another in the outer sect.

As soon as she entered the outer sect, the elixirs she had obtained were snatched away by her senior brothers and sisters, who said that new disciples needed to pay protection fees. The cultivation levels of several people living with her were higher than hers. Every month, she not only had to complete her own sect tasks, but also had to complete the hard work thrown by others. She had no time to practice at all.

Every time she advanced in cultivation, there were always senior brothers and sisters at a higher level who kept suppressing her. She was even tricked out of the sect by a familiar senior sister because of her good looks, and was almost bullied.

The days were hard and depressing. She was trembling with fear every day, as if there was no end. Her beautiful fantasy of immortals was completely shattered. Only by meeting Elder Ruqing every once in a while under various pretexts could she bring some nourishment to her dry and lonely soul...

But who knew that God would take away all her comfort?

"Elder Ruqing, are you going to travel? When will you be back?"

"We are not going on a trip. The Yuejian Sect has discovered traces of the demons. Elder Luo wants to lead us to encircle and suppress the demons..."

"Demons?! That must be dangerous!"

"It is the duty of our generation of cultivators to destroy the demons and protect the people. We cannot retreat even in danger."

"Then I will wait for Elder Ruqing to come back. You have to be careful."

"……Um."

But Elder Ruqing would never come back. When she saw the cold body being carried away from her, she collapsed and sat on the ground, crying bitterly...

After that, she never forgot Elder Ruqing's expectations of her, and worked hard to cultivate. In order to keep climbing up, she even used the bottom line that she was unwilling to break in the past and the methods that she hated in the past. From being unfamiliar and reluctant at the beginning, she gradually became skilled and numb...

She finally entered the inner door she had dreamed of, but the person was gone, disappeared forever.

Until she met Luo Qi, it was a similar scene, and he also saved her when she was in the most critical moment.

She thought this was God's second salvation for her. She couldn't wait for Elder Ruqing to die like before. She hadn't even expressed her love for him yet. She wanted to hold on to Luo Qi tightly...

But she was wrong, she was really wrong. There was only one Elder Ruqing in the world, and he was irreplaceable.

"Elder Ruqing, he is not you after all..." Wang Xueer muttered to herself with tears in her eyes, staring at the tablet absent-mindedly.

In Beiqizhou, in a demon cave——

"The spies we planted in the Yunshan Sect have been almost eliminated by them. We must arrange some more, otherwise we won't be able to grasp the movements of the Yunshan Sect in time..." Ye Li said as he looked at the list in his hand.

"The news we just received is that the Demon Tree in the holy land has completely died, and there are only a few demon seeds left. The Demon Lord has given up the demon seed plan. We only have a dozen demon seeds in our hands now, and they will be gone once we use them up. We must choose our people carefully..." Ye Chi said expressionlessly.

"... Let's go with this one. This person is very close to Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun, and he has a bad character. He is easily provoked and is jealous of Pei Yun. This person is the best candidate." Ye Li carefully checked the list in his hand and finally selected the right person. "This time I will go and recruit him personally... Pei Yun! Humph!"

"Whatever you want!" Ye Chi stood up indifferently and was about to leave.

"...Aren't you afraid that I will report to my father that you rescued Pei Yun and attacked me?" Ye Li raised his eyebrows and threatened.

"You can tell me if you want to."

"Humph! This Pei Yun is really charming. He made you two sacrifice your lives to save him..."

Ye Li recalled the scene of Qin Yun and Pei Yun fighting side by side against her, and with a look of jealousy on her face, she said sarcastically, "I remember that you and her didn't have much in common, right? Do you like her so much that you would risk your life to save her?!"

"…You think too much."

Ye Chi replied and left on his own. He didn't like the Pei Yun in reality. What he couldn't let go of was the Pei Yun in the reincarnation mirror who stayed by his side and gave him warmth.

Ye Li smiled coldly, then looked down at the list, tapping a name with his fingers -

Wang Xueer.
