Chapter 257 The Immortal Master who killed his wife to prove his truth
"Oh~ That's indeed the result of my discussion with the elders. And Junior Brother, you never had a specific position to begin with. You were just helping my father with some affairs before, isn't that right?"
Su Lan slowly stood up and walked towards the man with light steps. A gentle smile spread across her face as she softly consoled him, "Junior brother, I have a reason for acting this way."
"You should also know that my status has changed now. Naturally, I can no longer be as overly partial to you as before. If I continue like this, it will definitely attract a lot of criticism and alienate many of our Taiyi Sect disciples from me."
"But I..." Cang Yi's face was full of resentment. He was about to argue again, but was interrupted by Su Lan's unquestionable words.
Su Lan made a solemn promise with a serious expression: "Junior brother, you can relax. When my strength is improved enough to ascend to the position of sect leader, I will definitely promote you to elder. Not only will I restore all the privileges you once had, but I will also give you real power."
She thought to herself: It's just a play. Painting a rosy picture for the male lead is a piece of cake for me. I can do it easily.
Cang Yi had created a persona for himself that was that of a deeply devoted wife. Now that Su Lan had said so, he could no longer object and could only respond with a fake smile, "Alan is indeed very thoughtful. It's me who is narrow-minded. You go ahead and do your work. A disciple just came looking for me. I'll go check on him."
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly left Su Lan's main peak. Cang Yi couldn't pretend any longer if he stayed. He didn't expect Su Lan to change so much. He originally wanted to boil the frog in warm water and guide Su Lan into the devil, but now he just wanted to increase the dosage of the medicine and activate Ling Ke'er as a chess piece at the same time.
"Host, the male protagonist is feeling depressed again," Tuanzi's voice suddenly came out.
"I'm just afraid he'll act too late. After all, the protagonist's halo still needs to be polished for a while. Killing him now will only bring about the backlash of heaven."
Su Lan hated these ungrateful people the most. Since the original owner's wish included killing people, she was really looking forward to that day.
After chatting with Tuanzi, Su Lan sat back at the desk and continued to memorize the sword manual and magic array. She planned to improve the overall strength of Taiyi Sect through cultivation methods.
On the side peak where Cang Yi lived, Ling Ke'er was holding the roasted spirit bird she had just made and waiting eagerly for her master to come back.
The man who looked like a banished immortal seemed to have lost his luster and returned with a lonely look on his face, which made Ling Ke'er, who was waiting for him, feel very distressed.
"Master, Su, did Master's Wife bully you again? You are obviously a respectable Nascent Soul cultivator. If you were in those medium-sized sects, you would have become an elder long ago. Only you are grateful and not only formed a pact with Su Lan, but also worked for the sect without regrets."
Cang Yi looked at Ling Ke'er's angry expression, his heart filled with love. He patted Ling Ke'er's head gently and said, "Don't worry, Ke'er. I have my own plans for this matter."
As he spoke, a hint of coldness flashed across Cang Yi's eyes, but he was also satisfied with his young disciple's attitude. He continued to comfort Ling Ke'er, "It's a pity that her temper is unstable right now. I'm afraid she might hurt me, so I was thinking of sending a disciple to help her. At the same time..."
Cang Yi said that he was worried, but in fact he arranged for a spy to be close to Su Lan and drug him.
When Ling Ke'er heard Cang Yi's words, her heart felt as if it was pierced by countless sharp thorns, and her jealousy towards Su Lan grew deeper like a tide.
Her slender fingers tightly grasped the hem of Cang Yi's clothes, as if it was her only support, afraid that if she loosened her grip, Cang Yi would leave her. She whispered softly, "Master, Ke'er will do her utmost to share your worries and will never let you down."
Cang Yi looked at the well-behaved little disciple before him, a gratified smile flashing across his eyes. He gently stroked her head and said softly, "Ke'er is the one who understands a master's heart the best. You have just entered the Qi Refining Stage. Training at the main peak, where the spiritual energy is abundant, will definitely benefit your cultivation. Starting tomorrow, you will serve your master's wife well."
After saying this, he took out a packet of medicinal powder with a faint medicinal fragrance from the mysterious Qiankun bag and slowly handed it to the little disciple. "This packet is a calming powder. You only need to take out a little every day and put it in the incense burner in her training room. Remember, you must not let her notice anything. This is a kind gesture from your master. I just want her to work less, so..."
However, Ling Ke'er was completely immersed in her own thoughts at the moment. She held the medicine bag tightly, as if the medicine bag was Su Lan's neck.
When Cang Yi finally finished speaking, she slowly raised her head, revealing her signature standard Little White Lotus smile, with a cunning glint in her eyes. "Yes, Ke'er will definitely follow Master's instructions and obey Master's arrangements in everything."
I will definitely let you see the true face of Master's Wife, and let you know that in this world, I, Ling Ke'er, am the only one who loves you the most.
The sixteen-year-old girl fell in love with this immortal who was as elegant as the breeze and as bright as the moon at the first sight when she saw the man on the street. When she heard him say that he would take her back to the sect, her heart was no longer able to be taken away.
But after she came back, she found out that the man only accepted her as his apprentice, and he had dozens of disciples before her. What Ling Ke'er could not accept the most was that her master had a wife, that otherworldly and cold fairy. She was jealous and wanted to destroy Su Lan and replace her.
Cang Yi didn't understand the twists and turns in Ling Ke'er's heart, but he knew "Su Lan". She was a woman who was extremely jealous and uneasy. Every time he wanted to accept female disciples, she came out to stop him, which led to him accepting ten male disciples.
So this time, Cang Yi deliberately accepted the young and playful Ling Ke'er in order to make Su Lan jealous and start to rely more on him, and also to disturb her mind from practicing, killing two birds with one stone.
"Host, do you think the heroine will add the "calming" powder into the incense burner obediently?" Tuanzi has seen too many such scenes. If Cang Yi says that this is a good thing, will Ling Ke'er, as his love rival, really put it in?
"Yes, no matter how jealous she is, she has to let go. This is what her beloved master ordered." Su Lan said affirmatively without even raising her eyelids, her hands still drawing something.
"Host, in fact, there are quite a few techniques and experiences in the system mall that are suitable for the cultivators of this world to practice." Tuanzi didn't understand why Su Lan stayed up late at night to write.
Su Lan paused, then calmly put down her pen. She grabbed the ball in the space, rubbed it a few times, and said with dark circles under her eyes, "Why didn't you remind me earlier? I was already halfway through reciting it."
"Because you, the host, didn't ask..." Tuanzi's voice became very low.
Finally, Su Lan frowned, thought for a moment, and then resolutely spent fifteen points, handing them over as easily as flowing water, in exchange for two precious high-grade skills: one sword technique, with sharp sword strokes that seemed to be able to cut through the void; and one array formation and alchemy experience.
To develop a sect, it is natural to achieve full bloom, just like a hundred flowers blooming in spring.
