Ling Ling sighed in relief, and she said to Bing Xue. "You are too selfish, Grandmaster! Doesn't that mean you want Sister Bing to die? Yun'er can help her to get through her lightning tribulation, but you forbid her from seeing him again."
"Ling'er-"
Bing Xue immediately stopped Lian Bing, and she allowed Ling Ling to continue speaking.
"Do you think we humans are better than the demons, Grandmaster?" Ling Ling asked as calmly as possible; Bing Xue frowned at that, and she continued. "Just look at the reality out there; many humans are far crueler than demons!"
After saying that, Ling Ling hurriedly left them, but they could hear her muttering. "I'm disappointed to be a Lotus Sect disciple because your mindset is too short-sighted, Grandmaster."
"Master, please don't blame Ling'er; she-" However, Bing Xue suddenly fell to the ground and fell asleep, startling Lian Bing. "Hmm? This must be Ling Yun's doing."
Ling Yun chuckled and appeared before her. "Don't worry; I just wanted to talk to her to convince her."
"All right, please don't do anything to her." Lian Bing replied with a nod of approval.
After that, Ling Xi brought Ling Yun back home, and he immediately pulled Bing Xue into the dream space.
.
.
Bing Xue opened her eyes, but she immediately frowned to find herself in another place, and she was now in the middle of a small lake.
"Come out, whoever you are." Bing Xue said calmly as she sat cross-legged on the ground. Even though she was aware that she was in enemy territory and was currently unable to use her cultivation, she didn't seem panicked.
"A senior cultivator like you is truly different, Senior." Ling Yun said as he appeared before Bing Xue.
Bing Xue raised her eyebrows upon seeing Ling Yun. Although there was no significant change in her expression, her heart and mind were filled with many questions about him.
"Why did you bring me here?" Bing Xue had no intention of asking how Ling Yun brought her into the Dream Space, for she felt sure he was not a fool who would reveal his secrets.
"To the point, huh?" Ling Yun muttered as he sat cross-legged in front of Bing Xue. "You can say that this is my special realm, and I brought you here just to ask you a few things."
"What do you want to ask me?" Bing Xue asked him back with a frown.
Ling Yun smiled and asked her. "Are you a good person, Senior?"
Bing Xue was stunned by Ling Yun's question, and she thought for a moment before answering him. "Of course, I'm a good person."
"Really?" Ling Yun was still smiling.
"Of course!" Bing Xue answered quickly as she frowned. "So what do you mean?"
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed softly and asked again. "Have you ever killed anyone?"
"Of course, I've killed many people before." Bing Xue was starting to feel confused by Ling Yun's question and thought he was too naive. Which cultivator has never killed another person?
Ling Yun clasped his hands, then asked her again. "Then what's the difference between you and a demon? Demons often kill people, and you also often kill people. Even though your reasons may differ from theirs, you're still a murderer, right?"
Bing Xue's face darkened upon hearing that, and she lost her composure when Ling Yun said she was no different from a demon. She glared sharply at him, and a strong killing intent leaked from her body. Even if she couldn't use her cultivation, that didn't mean she couldn't use anything else.
Ling Yun didn't feel daunted by Bing Xue's killing intent; instead, he chuckled and mocked her. "See? I'm just speaking casually, but you already want to kill me. And you dare to say that you are a good person?"
Bing Xue quickly calmed herself down and immediately retracted her killing intent. After all, she was also aware that she couldn't do anything to Ling Yun within his realm, and she was the one who was in danger if he had any ill will towards her.
"I heard you forbade Lian Bing to have a relationship with me just because I had a relationship with female demons." Bing Xue raised her eyebrows again, but this time she had no intention of interrupting him. "But did you know that one of the demons you're referring to lived as an ordinary woman for 42 years?"
"I don't believe you!" Bing Xue shouted at him.
Ling Yun shook his head. "For 42 years, she didn't even know she was a cat demon because her bloodline was sealed, and the seal only opened recently."
Ling Yun then touched Bing Xue's forehead, and he shared the memory of when Zhao Yao awakened her bloodline.
Bing Xue didn't immediately believe him; she looked at the memory several times. And after she felt sure, she looked at Ling Yun in disbelief.
"Now tell me. Who is the better person between you and Yao?" Ling Yun asked with a mocking smile.
Bing Xue was speechless to answer. If Ling Yun asked like that, the answer would be Zhao Yao, who was the better. Even though she's a demon, she's never killed anyone before.
"Good or Evil, it all depends on one's point of view. If I compare you to Yao, you are the evil one, Senior." Bing Xue could only remain silent and couldn't refute his words. "Not all humans are good, and not all demons are evil. As a senior, you should be able to think wisely and not carelessly accuse others of evil, especially towards people you don't know."
Bing Xue did not say anything and only continued to look at Ling Yun in a complicated manner, she did not know them, and she decided it was only because they were demons.
Ling Yun smiled at her and said again. "Oh, anyway, the other two female demons. One became a demon after she died, and the other was my slave because she wanted to kill my aunt."
"Hmm?" Bing Xue raised her eyebrows upon hearing that.
"If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself." Ling Yun then touched Bing Xue's forehead, and she shared the incident of Yun Mingyue turning into a demon fox and about him enslaving Kate.
After a while, Bing Xue sighed heavily. "Please get me out of here."
"All right." Ling Yun immediately sent Bing Xue out of the Dream Space.
.
.
'He's so terrifying; he could even take me to his special realm without me even realizing it.' Bing Xue muttered in her heart as she shuddered. She was horrified by Ling Yun's abilities and knew he could kill her easily. Fortunately, he had no malice against her. 'It seems I have misjudged them, and I really didn't expect that woman to be such an innocent cat demon, and the demon fox was also just an ordinary human before.'
"Master?" Lian Bing then helped Bing Xue to stand up. "Did Ling Yun do something to you?"
"So you already know about his abilities and relationship with those demons?"
Lian Bing nodded to her. "Yes."
Bing Xue sighed after hearing that and spoke to her again. "I won't stop you from seeing Ling'er's little brother again, and I was the one who misjudged him and his women."
Lian Bing asked in disbelief. "Is that true, Master? Are you really not going to forbid me to meet him?"
Bing Xue was stunned for a moment seeing Lian Bing's reaction like that, and she inwardly sighed, for she had never seen her react like that to the opposite sex before. "Yes, you can meet him whenever you want."
"Thank you, master." Lian Bing replied with a sweet smile. Even though she had not completely fallen for Ling Yun, her feelings had already begun to change, and she was grateful that Bing Xue had not prevented her from seeing him.
'Sigh, it looks like Bing'er already has feelings for that young man.' Bing Xue muttered in her heart. "Anyway, when will you bring Ling'er back to the sect? And I remember that you also accepted a new disciple; I think you can also bring her back to the sect."
Lian Bing then explained to her. "Ling Yun plans to bring his women into seclusion, and I will go with them to train Ling'er and Jing'er, but I don't know how long we will be in seclusion, so we will return to the sect only after we're done."
"All right, you guys must come back soon after coming out of seclusion."
"Yes, master." Lian Bing answered with a nod of approval, and Bing Xue immediately disappeared from her sight; she then returned to the house to meet Ling Ling.
.
.
"What about the grandmaster, Sister Bing?" Ling Ling immediately asked as soon as she saw Lian Bing.
Lian Bing smiled and rubbed her head. "You don't need to worry; master won't forbid me again."
"That's good!" Ling Ling exclaimed happily and hugged Lian Bing tightly, and she then glanced at Ling Yun, who was smiling at her. "Thank you, Yun'er."
"Why are you thanking me?" Ling Yun replied with a shake of the head; he then said to his women. "Let's enter seclusion now, and we will come out after I break through to the Core Realm."
After saying that, Ling Yun opened a portal into the Yin-Yang Chamber, and they followed him in, including Zhang Bing and Yuan Meng, who decided to join them.
