ACER-Chapter 20: Completely Broken

Along with Di Yange and Xiao Jue being thrown out, there was also Wuchen Zhenren.

After all, this was a large-scale event involving several sects. There had to be someone leading the group, and as their master, Wuchen Zhenren became the best candidate.

Wuchen Zhenren was also quite willing, he had already planned on fleecing Di Yange along the way.

After all, over the past two years, ever since he had taken Di Yange’s waste pills, he had successfully broken through to peak Foundation Establishment.

As soon as the three left the city, Wuchen Zhenren took out a pile of spiritual herbs.

“Disciple, I know you like refining pills, these herbs are all for you.”

Di Yange was overjoyed, she hadn’t expected that the outwardly righteous but inwardly selfish Wuchen Zhenren from the plot would suddenly change and give her so many herbs.

She glanced at him, his eyes were filled with undisguised greed.

Fortunately, it’s still the familiar formula.

She naturally welcomed the spiritual herbs delivered to her door.

She even had to thank them. Because if it wasn’t for them, she wouldn’t have developed a method to replace these spiritual herbs with ordinary medicinal plants. Although the effect was slightly worse, it was enough for ordinary people.

“Old man, you’re really good to me. In the future, I’ll give you all the pills I refined.”

Those pills were useless to her anyway.

Giving Wuchen Zhenren some benefits would ensure he provided her with more materials. It was mutually beneficial, and she lost nothing.

“Good… good child.”

The greed in Wuchen Zhenren’s eyes deepened. He even didn’t mind her way of addressing him, “Disciple, refine pills as you wish along the way. I will find whatever herbs you need for you.”

In his eyes, Di Yange was still a child, and he didn’t bother to hide his greed.

Xiao Jue and the people outside the light screen could see the greed in his eyes clearly.

Especially Luo Ziyin, he wished he could rush in and warn the naive Di Yange.

“Damn Xiao Jue. He clearly saw it, why didn’t he remind him? Brother was still a child then. If not for these scheming people, he wouldn’t have become like that later.”

Someone beside him said, “So what? That’s not a reason for him to turn bad. He was rotten to the core. If he was truly kind, how could he have done those insane things later? He even…towards me…”

“Di Yange is simply a beast.”

“Shut up!!!” Luo Ziyin shouted angrily.

Di Yange, who was resting with her eyes closed, watched the quarrel without intending to interfere.

…

With three peak Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could’ve reached the secret realm quickly by sword flight.

But only Wuchen Zhenren and Di Yange had spiritual swords. Xiao Jue’s sword appeared to be an ordinary one, and Di Yange had been busy studying basic techniques, so she didn’t know how to fly on a sword.

Wuchen Zhenren could carry one person, but not two.

In the end, they chose to travel by carriage.

Since Di Yange needed to refine pills along the way and it was inconvenient to hire an ordinary person, Wuchen Zhenren decided to drive the carriage himself.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Jue, dressed in white, sat cross-legged, regulating his blood and qi. Opposite him, Di Yange summoned a fireball and added a layer of ice around it to prevent the carriage from burning.

Seeing the heat was just right, she began adding herbs one by one.

“I heard you’re going to the secret realm for your younger brother?”

The sudden voice made her hand tremble slightly.

She glanced at Xiao Jue, “Where did you hear that?”

What did this have to do with Luo Ziyin?

“He’s not your real younger brother. Why are you so good to him? Just because his parents once helped you?”

Xiao Jue had stopped cultivating at some point and was looking at the youth in front of him.

The young man wore the sect’s cyan robe, hair tied with a silver hairpin, upon closer inspection, one can see that it was shaped like a small sword.

Her already striking face, especially those bright and captivating eyes, made Xiao Jue momentarily distracted.

“Where did you hear that?”

Di Yange thought for a moment, has she ever said such things?

“Answer my question.”

“None of your business. I’m not familiar with you.”

She coldly refused to continue the nonsense with Xiao Jue.

If she unluckily survived the secret realm, then they would become enemies.

If she got too friendly now, how would she deal with him later?

Xiao Jue was angered but continued, “You’ve done so much for him, but he knows nothing about it. Is it worth it?”

Over the past two years, because Di Yange attracted his hatred, Xiao Jue had gathered information about her.

Later on, he unknowingly found out that Wuchen Zhenren was investigating her and Luo Ziyin.

It was also then that he learned about what she had done for Luo Ziyin.

He really couldn’t understand why Di Yange would do those things.

He even felt a bit envious of Luo Ziyin.

They had both lost their families, but Luo Ziyin had Di Yange’s protection. He didn’t have to do anything and lived carefree days. Even if he couldn’t cultivate, he still had Di Yange. She not only provided him pills, but even risked her life for him by going into the secret realm.

As for Xiao Jue, he had nothing. Even in the dead of night, he had no one to confide in.

“None of your damn business.”

Di Yange rolled her eyes at him again, “You’d better stop talking, or I might lose control again.”

Of course, after two attempts, she was quite confident in her fireball now.

Seeing Xiao Jue finally fall silent obediently, she continued refining while planning ahead.

If she unfortunately returned, she would look into the Three-Legged Crow tattoo. As Tian Xuanzi had said, one shouldn’t inquire about it below Golden Core Stage, it clearly wasn’t something simple.

There’s also the troublesome matter of the inheritance of Xuan Medical Immortal Sect.

Before entering the secret realm, she had to pass it on.

If she couldn’t find someone, she glanced at Xiao Jue. Then she would have to give it to him before dying, what a good deal for him.

Xiao Jue looked up, and their eyes coincidentally met.

Outside the light screen, Luo Ziyin exploded with anger.

“Damn Xiao Jue, what are you looking at? And what did he mean by that? What is it worth it? Of course it’s worth it for brother to do all this for me!”

Then he sighed again, looking at the Di Yange in the light screen, “Brother, don’t go to the secret realm, don’t risk your life for me again.”

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault, you did everything for me.”

His words made everyone present break down again.

This guy sounded like he was showing off.

Compared to what Di Yange had done to them, their hands suddenly became itchy again.

“Shut up, Luo Ziyin. Stop flattering yourself. I’vehad always done things for myself, don’t put yourself on a pedestal.”

Di Yange couldn’t stand it anymore.

A once cold and composed beauty had become like this.

Luo Ziyin turned back, his gentle eyes looking at her, his face flushed with excitement.

“Brother, are you finally willing to forgive me? No matter what you’ve become, you’re still my brother. I’ll always stay here with you. Even if you’re struck by lightning, die without burial, never reincarnate, and your soul is destroyed, I’ll stay with you.”

“…” Di Yange’s face turned green with anger.

Can he even speak properly?

“Get lost!”
