In the following days, Feng Feiling traveled around with Leng Yeling. On the surface, they were training and searching for opportunities, but in reality, wherever Feng Feiling went, conflict always followed.
Anyone who clashed with her never met a good end.
Leng Yeling couldn’t stand seeing anyone bully Feng Feiling and never held back. While he didn’t kill them, he left them crippled.
Feng Feiling watched as one former genius after another was ruined by Leng Yeling, unable to suppress the laughter in her heart.
Geniuses, those once-proud geniuses. Did they like the gift she had given them?
She knew that some geniuses were arrogant and full of themselves. A little provocation was all it took to start a conflict.
Having lived two lives, she knew exactly how to use this to her advantage. In the end, she crippled those people without leaving any fault to be found. She spared their lives, and in the eyes of others, they even owed her gratitude.
Leng Yeling felt nothing about any of this. Wasn’t this just how the cultivation world worked? Even if you avoided trouble, it would still come to you. Ling’er was also incredibly beautiful, so it was only natural that many people resented her.
Fortunately, he was there to protect her. Otherwise, who knew how many people would try to harm her? He had already vowed that he would never let anyone bully Ling’er.
Feng Feiling noticed that Leng Yeling was treating her better and better, and she felt a slight sense of relief. As the young master of the Demon Sect, he was not someone easy to control. She had to become someone he treasured in order to make him willingly do things for her.
Her cultivation would remain stagnant for over a year before she could make any progress. If not for the many opportunities she had missed earlier, she might have already resumed her cultivation.
Thinking about it, sacrificing three years of progress just to scheme against Tang Guo had not been worth it. The thought of Tang Guo made Feng Feiling’s heart sink again. She had no idea where that woman had gone.
She had searched for a long time in secret, but there was no trace of her.
Could she be… dead? If she had really died just like that, then she had gotten off too easily.
The Demon Sect disciples had been unusually excited these past days. In fact, ever since the Holy Maiden Aunt arrived at the sect, they had been in a constant state of excitement.
The only thing that confused them was that recently, the Holy Maiden Aunt had been acting strangely. She kept bringing back “cripples” and taking them in as disciples.
Wen Yi and Gu Qin, the senior brother and sister, were assigned to take care of these so-called “disabled” junior disciples every day.
For the past six months, their master had been taking people out on trips. Every time she returned, she would leave two people in their care. Some were missing limbs, others had their cultivation destroyed, their meridians shattered, or their spiritual roots ruined.
As she handed them over, she would casually add, “This is your third junior brother, your fourth junior sister, your fifth junior brother, your sixth junior brother…”
At first, Wen Yi and Gu Qin were completely shocked. Now, they had grown numb. They simply could not understand why their master had a habit of accepting “cripples” as disciples.
Was it… some kind of personal preference?
Later, they noticed that these “cripples” gradually recovered and were even able to cultivate again. Their cultivation speed was no worse than their own, and only then did they start feeling a sense of crisis. Through occasional conversations, they came to understand that these junior brothers and sisters had once been talented cultivators.
Because they had clashed with others and been crippled, no matter how talented they once were or how strong their cultivation had been, the moment they became useless, their sects and clans no longer valued them.
Many of these geniuses had been arrogant in the past. They didn’t know how many people they had offended in the past. Now that they had fallen, others seized the chance to trample on them even further, doing everything they could to make their suffering worse..
A worthless cripple was of no concern to any sect or family.
It was only in their downfall that they finally saw the truth. Just when they thought it was too late to change anything, a woman wearing a light veil and bamboo hat appeared, offering to take them away.
In their despair, this was their only hope. Not a single one refused.
