At this moment, Ling Mo Xie stepped out of Ling Siwen's tent, lowering his head as he walked towards his own tent, pondering, "Ji Chen, at the early stage of Golden Core? I'm only level seventy-one; I should level up a few more times before going. The resentment disaster in Tianfeng City is severe, and many people are beyond saving. They should also be counted as monsters."
"Bang!" Just as Ling Mo Xie was lost in thought, muttering to himself while walking, he suddenly bumped into something. The force of the collision caused him to stumble back involuntarily, while the object fell to the ground.
Ling Mo Xie looked up in surprise to see it was Shangguan Ying'er, who was glaring at him with puffed cheeks.
"What are you doing here?" Ling Mo Xie took a few steps forward and reached out to help Shangguan Ying'er up.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's indifferent attitude, Shangguan Ying'er felt frustrated. However, her good upbringing prevented her from acting rudely or cursing like a hot-tempered woman.
Shangguan Ying'er brushed off the dust from her clothes and tidied herself up before casually saying, "I came to inform you about the situation regarding the resentment. Didn't you say yesterday that you'd come to ask me when you had time? Since you didn't come, I came myself."
As she spoke, Shangguan Ying'er furrowed her brow slightly, feeling uncomfortable. It seemed like she was eager to inform Ling Mo Xie, when it should have been him seeking her out instead.
So, she quickly added, "After all, you're going to compete with the disciples of our Azure Emperor Sect. We've been studying for over half a month while you know nothing. That would be too unfair. I'm here to tell you this so that others know our Azure Emperor Sect values fairness!"
Upon hearing Shangguan Ying'er mention the Azure Emperor Sect, Ling Mo Xie, who had previously smiled at her elegant and charming demeanor, immediately wiped the smile off his face. He lifted the curtain of his tent with a neutral expression and politely said, "Please come in and sit down so we can talk slowly."
Afterward, as Shangguan Ying'er observed Ling Mo Xie's sudden change in expression, she muttered, "Are you dissatisfied with the Azure Emperor Sect? With such a large sect, there are bound to be some bad apples."
At this point, Ling Mo Xie and Shangguan Ying'er had entered the tent. After inviting her to sit down, Ling Mo Xie finally curled his lips into a sarcastic smile and said, "How could I dare to be dissatisfied with the Azure Emperor Sect? It's one of the three major sects of the State of Youyun!"
Shangguan Ying'er looked up at Ling Mo Xie and opened her mouth to say, "That was just Ning Qi's doing; please don't implicate the entire Azure Emperor Sect."
Ling Mo Xie did not respond to Shangguan Ying'er's words but turned to shout towards a separate room in a tent, "Zeng Zhou, could you come out for a moment?"
"What is it?" Zeng Zhou, feeling grateful to Ling Mo Xie, quickly set aside what he was doing and stepped out.
Upon seeing Shangguan Ying'er, he paused for a moment, recalling that she seemed to be from the Azure Emperor Sect.
Zeng Zhou walked up to Ling Mo Xie and asked, "Did you call me for something?"
"I heard you mention that the Azure Emperor Sect seems to have taken more than just you for those alchemical experiments, right?" Ling Mo Xie looked up at Zeng Zhou standing beside him and inquired.
Zeng Zhou glanced at Shangguan Ying'er and nodded, "Yes! I don't know how many there are, but it must be a lot because there were over ten people experimented on with me. I heard they were divided into several small groups."
"Can you tell me the specifics?" Ling Mo Xie continued to ask Zeng Zhou while noticing Shangguan Ying'er's somewhat gloomy expression.
Zeng Zhou complied with Ling Mo Xie's request and said, "As for the specifics, I'm not very clear. I was knocked out when I was taken away and woke up in the place where they conducted the experiments. They threw us into the collected resentment and waited for it to invade us before giving us different alchemical pills. Some were even vivisected to observe the interaction between the pills and the resentment in order to research better alchemical pills."
As he spoke, a look of pain appeared on Zeng Zhou's face, clearly recalling the terrifying scenes from that time.
Ling Mo Xie quickly comforted him and told him to take a break.
"The Azure Emperor Sect has captured so many civilians as test subjects. Your tents are not far apart, right? Elder Feng often goes to discuss matters with Dead Demon regarding the resentment, doesn't he? You interact daily; have you really not noticed anything at all? Is Ning Qi really just a rat's droppings?"
Ling Mo Xie stared intently at Shangguan Ying'er, his eyes filled with questioning intensity.
Shangguan Ying'er was taken aback, a hint of hurt flashing in her eyes as she asked incredulously, "You don't believe me?"
Ling Mo Xie averted his gaze and answered evasively, "You need to be worthy of my trust."
Shangguan Ying'er fell silent for a moment. "Back then, why did you give me such a precious elixir?"
Ling Mo Xie uncomfortably crossed his legs and began to shake them, his voice calm and deep. "Because you are my friend."
Just... a friend? Shangguan Ying'er's expression dimmed. Before Ling Mo Xie could react to comfort her, her face brightened again with a radiant smile as she said, "Regarding the matters of the Azure Emperor Sect, I believe you won't speak of it. After all... Elder Feng is the judge for your match against Ning Qi!"
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback, unsure why Shangguan Ying'er suddenly said that. He had no intention of speaking about it, but he had also resolved to save those civilians himself. That should count as a great deed recognized by the System, right?
"Next! I'll tell you about the current situation regarding the calamity of resentment. It will help maintain the fair and just image of my Azure Emperor Sect." Without waiting for Ling Mo Xie's response, Shangguan Ying'er wore an elegant smile and spoke calmly.
"Uh, okay!" Ling Mo Xie could only nod in a daze. He felt somewhat unaccustomed to this side of Shangguan Ying'er, but upon reflection, it seemed she should be like this—elegant and composed, always wearing a smile that felt like spring breeze, yet her eyes were calm and wise.
"The calamity of resentment has been spreading since the day it appeared. Currently, the camp is protected by formations set up by my master and Elder Feng, so we are not affected by the resentment. However, within the city, it has become a paradise for those infected by resentment. They have lost their sanity, and the longer they are infected by the resentment, the stronger they become!"
"Isn't the State of Chuyun doing anything?" Ling Mo Xie suddenly asked.
Shangguan Ying'er glanced at him. "You know Dongfang Siyu; you should also be aware that the State of Chuyun is currently engaged in external battles. Since we already have people from our Azure Emperor Sect here, as well as representatives from Qi Sect and Divine Martial Sect, how could they send more people?"
