JSCMU-Chapter 116: From Now On, Only Live for Herself

Ye Danxia forced out a smile. “Senior brothers, perhaps you’ve misunderstood me. This time, I was actually framed, I…”

Zhou Dai couldn’t help but ask seriously, “Then how exactly were you framed?”

He wore a look of sincere curiosity.

Ye Danxia was stunned again.

She was about to go crazy. She already said so much, can’t they just believe her?

Why must they dig to the bottom of it?

Are we not fellow sect siblings?

“Junior Sister Ye,” Zhou Dai said gently, “there are some things in the storage pouch that should be useful to you. If you need anything, you can use the communication talisman inside to contact me directly. But at the end of the day, you are someone with charges against you. We can’t visit too frequently, so please don’t contact us unnecessarily.”

Ye Danxia. “…”

She hadn’t even tried to contact them yet, and they were already afraid she’d do it too much?

Ye Danxia realized.

She is being disliked.

She bit her lip hard.

It shouldn’t have turned out like this.

She has a Celestial Spirit Root, a favored daughter of the heavens, meant to soar to the skies and look down upon the world.

But now?

Every step was full of hardship, and she was imprisoned in this cave dwelling, without freedom!

In the past, if she saw the Zhou brothers showing dislike, Ye Danxia would definitely keep her distance.

But this time is different.

Being imprisoned alone in this bitterly cold place, not only was the environment harsh, but the feeling of being the only person in all of heaven and earth was truly terrifying.

Even after knowing the Zhou brothers didn’t like her, Ye Danxia still spoke through tears, “Senior brothers, let’s not speak of the past. Ending up like this is already punishment enough. But to keep me locked here, not allowed to leave. It’s really… it’s really hard for me. Could you please speak up for me? Even if I must still be confined, let me return to the sect? Even if I remain locked up in the Discipline Hall, I’m willing!”

At least the Discipline Hall had some human presence.

But here, it was so lonely it’s terrifying.

“Sorry, these are not decisions we can make. Junior Sister Ye, since you’ve come, you might as well settle in. You’re just not used to it yet, but after some time, you’ll naturally adapt.” Zhou Dai said.

Ye Danxia. “???”

You’ll get used to it with time?

Is that even something a human would say?

She still wanted to say something, but Zhou Dai dragged Zhou Li away.

Ye Danxia instinctively wanted to chase after them. Once they left, the barrier instantly reactivated.

Ye Danxia angrily threw spells at the barrier.

But unfortunately, the barrier was set up under the supervision of all the peak lords. Unless one reached Fusion Stage, it was unbreakable.

She hadn’t even reached Foundation Establishment Stage. There was no way she could shake it in the slightest.

After exhausting all her spiritual power, Ye Danxia sat helplessly on the ground.

Her expression shifted back and forth, recalling the glory she had when her Celestial Spirit Root was first revealed.

Then remembering the many humiliations from being repeatedly suppressed by Yun Jin.

Finally, she looked around. The cave dwelling was nothing but white upon white.

Ye Danxia finally couldn’t bear it any longer and broke down in sobs.

She hates it!

Hates Yun Jin!

Hates Gu Jinghong!

Hates Zhou Li and Zhou Dai!

Hates Zhao Wuji!

Hates everyone in this Tianxing Sect!

All the humiliation she endured today was forced on her by these people!

If she ever got the chance to turn things around…

A glint of madness flickered in Ye Danxia’s eyes.

After venting her emotions for a long while, once she barely calmed down, she began inspecting the contents of the storage pouch.

Zhao Wuji was already extremely thoughtful. Aside from basic daily necessities, he also prepared various pills, including five Foundation Establishment Pills to help her break through.

Ye Danxia only sneered coldly.

He didn’t protect her back then.

Now he’s coming around pretending to care about her, what’s the use?

Isn’t it just because she has a Celestial Spirit Root, and if nurtured, could become useful to him later?

Once, she did think that way.

She thought when she became stronger, she would repay Zhao Wuji.

But now?

She only found it ridiculous.

She was too concerned, too kind.

From now on, she would only live for herself.

Aside from pills, Ye Danxia found a few jade slips.

They contained basic knowledge for apothecaries and alchemists, and one sound transmission talisman from Zhao Wuji.

Expressionless, Ye Danxia channeled spiritual energy into the talisman.

Zhao Wuji’s voice emerged.

“Danxia, life in the cave dwelling may be bitter, but as your master, I will have your two senior brothers bring you supplies often. If anything is missing, just tell them and they’ll prepare it. These pills are enough to help you reach Foundation Establishment. Focus on your cultivation. Additionally, study the contents in the jade slips carefully. If you can become an alchemist one day, I can speak up for you again.

Treat this time as a secluded cultivation period. Let cultivation be your priority, remember this.”

Zhao Wuji had truly done everything he could for her by considering every detail.

But Ye Danxia only let out a cold sneer.

Zhao Wuji seemed to treat her well.

But if he truly cared, how could he have let her fall this low?

Now, saying these insincere words was only trying to win her back.

After all…

She has a Celestial Spirit Root destined to cultivate to the highest realm!

In the past, she might’ve been fooled by Zhao Wuji’s petty kindness.

But now…

She only found it laughable!

After mocking him in her heart, Ye Danxia immediately took out the pills Zhao Wuji gave her and began cultivating in earnest.

Didn’t that Yun Jin only barely reached Foundation Establishment thanks to some rare treasures?

As someone with a Celestial Spirit Root, her cultivation speed was more than a hundred times faster than Yun Jin’s!

Whatever Yun Jin could do, she could do too!

The next day, at Heavenly Sword Peak.

Gu Jinghong stood respectfully outside the door. After a while, he finally saw Yun Jin come out.

“Master, are we going to meet that Ye Cheng today?” Gu Jinghong asked respectfully.

“Let’s go,” Yun Jin said.

Gu Jinghong nodded and automatically retreated behind Yun Jin.

Yun Jin glanced back, somewhat satisfied.

This Gu Jinghong was becoming more and more self-aware.

If he remained this tactful, Yun Jin wouldn’t mind giving him a small reward, such as helping him resolve the hidden danger of his Blood Qi Technique.

After all.

Now that he was her servant, the stronger her servant was, the more things he could help her with.

Aside from botany techniques, other fields like talismans, formations, and the like. If she had enough servants and simplified those tasks enough times, she could brush up on all those secondary professions too.

While Yun Jin was mulling over this, they arrived at the spirit field shortly after.

“Yun Jin!”

“It’s Yun Jin!”

“She actually dares come here?!”

All at once, countless eyes fell on Yun Jin.

Yun Jin sighed.

There was nothing she could do, she was helpless as well.

But being too outstanding was just like that. No matter where she went, she was the center of attention.

How troubling.

Right now, even though she hadn’t yet seen Ye Cheng, Yun Jin still tentatively gave a command, “System, scan Ye Cheng.”

As long as he was within scanning range of the system, whether she could see him or not wasn’t important.
