Feng Feiling told herself over and over again in her heart that Tang Guo was here to shake her state of mind during the tribulation, and she must not fall for it.
Barely managing to suppress her racing heart and preparing to face the thunder tribulation, a gentle voice suddenly sounded right by her ear, making her expression change dramatically.
“Feng Feiling, take a look at who I am?”
Feng Feiling instinctively looked toward the source of the voice. Among the group of people dressed in white, she saw a slender figure. That person removed her bamboo hat, and a breathtakingly beautiful face appeared before Feng Feiling’s eyes, shocking her so much she stumbled back several steps.
“You… you…” Why are you still alive?
Feng Feiling simply couldn’t believe it. She had personally seen Pei Xue’s soul be scattered by demonic cultivators. How could she possibly be standing there perfectly fine?
Pei Xue wore a calm, faint smile. “I’m still alive. Are you surprised? You slandered me for harboring feelings toward Leng Yeling, ruined my reputation, and conspired with demon cultivators to frame me so I could never redeem myself. I, Pei Xue, ask myself if I’ve ever done anything to wrong you. Feng Feiling, why did you have to treat me like this?”
“That’s what you deserved.”
Feng Feiling completely forgot about her current situation and shouted without thinking, “You deserved it, you deserved every bit of it!”
Back then, when she was being toyed with by several demon cultivators, Pei Xue and Ji Chengshan next door were still acting all lovey-dovey every day. Did they ever think to come save her, that pitiful little girl? So, Pei Xue deserved it. She deserved that fate.
“Feng Feiling, look again. Do you see who I am?”
Gu Qin took off her hat, revealing a playful face in front of everyone. Seeing Feng Feiling’s confused look, she kindly explained, “My name is Gu Qin, Five-Element Spiritual Root.”
She didn’t quite know why Master wanted her to introduce herself that way, but when she saw Feng Feiling’s expression twist in shock, she understood this was very important to her.
“How is this possible!!”
Feng Feiling’s mind was in complete chaos, and she could no longer stay calm.
“Feng Feiling, my name is Wen Yi.”
“Feng Feiling, my name is…”
“Feng Feiling…”
One by one, familiar names of geniuses rang in her ears. Feng Feiling seemed to have fallen into a curse. She clutched her head in pain. She had worked so hard for so long to cut off these geniuses’ opportunities and keep them from having any chance to grow.
There were even some she had secretly schemed against, leaving them crippled and without cultivation, their limbs broken. Why were all of them standing here now, perfectly fine?
Suddenly, she remembered someone. She fixed her gaze on Tang Guo’s spot and said in a twisted, ferocious voice, “It was you!!”
“It was me.”
“You too?”
Feng Feiling had no choice but to admit that if Tang Guo knew she was reborn, then she herself was probably also a reborn person. She suddenly felt the heavens were truly unfair. It was already enough for her to be reborn. Why did her enemy get to be reborn too, and even do better than her after rebirth?
So it really was true. She had been targeted by the heavens.
Tang Guo gently shook her head. “I’m not.”
She really wasn’t a reborn person.
Clearly, Feng Feiling didn’t believe her at all.
Rumble—
The thunder tribulation was already fully formed, crackling in the sky overhead. Feng Feiling forced herself to calm down. No matter what, she absolutely could not die under the heavenly tribulation.
“I won’t let you have your way.”
She looked solemn, preparing to withstand the final thunder strike.
At the moment when the ninth thunderbolt came crashing down to engulf Feng Feiling and Leng Yeling, Tang Guo’s voice reached Feng Feiling’s ears, clear as day. She wasn’t speaking to her, but to Wen Yi and the others.
“Alright, you can begin ascending now.”
In an instant, Feng Feiling’s eyes widened. She watched as that group of people in white release their cultivation. Even she was affected by the overwhelming force they released. Seeing them rise into the sky, all smiling brightly, she was so furious that she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
