Due to Ye Huan being a Cultivator himself, no one understands the strength of a Cultivator's body as it evolves with their level better than he does. For instance, at Ye Huan's current level, even if he stood still and allowed others to attack him, it's likely that the power of a Desert Eagle would struggle to inflict any harm on him. As for Zhao Ziyu, although she has only recently become a Cultivator, with the infusion of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into her body, it would be nearly impossible for an ordinary blade to injure her.
Perhaps the key to the problem lies here. Just imagine, if blades cannot harm Zhao Ziyu, then even if she wanted to form a blood alliance with Jin Ling, she would first have to confront her own formidable physique. Unfortunately, she does not possess any weapon capable of harming herself—except for the Desert Eagle.
Bang!
With a deafening gunshot, just as Ye Huan had suspected, Zhao Ziyu actually fired the Desert Eagle at herself. However, perhaps due to the pain she felt, there was no longer a smile on her face; instead, it was replaced by a look of agony.
Standing quietly at a distance, Ye Huan noticed Zhao Ziyu's expression and his heart ached as he turned his gaze to her hands. Upon closer inspection, he saw that her once snow-white left hand was drenched in blood, with a wound no smaller than one and a half centimeters in diameter—likely caused by the bullet from the Desert Eagle.
‘What on earth is this? Is she self-harming?’
He wished he could take on the pain inflicted by the Desert Eagle for Zhao Ziyu. Just as he was about to rush over and scold her, he remembered that it was Zhao Ziyu who had expressed her desire to form a Brotherhood with Jin Ling. If he charged in now, would it be Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling forming their Brotherhood or him trying to establish one with Jin Ling?
While Ye Huan hesitated about whether to step forward, the voices of Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling suddenly reached his ears: “With the blue sky as witness and white clouds as proof, today Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling shall become sworn sisters of different surnames. We will share fortune and misfortune, never parting ways. Should anyone betray this bond, may heaven and earth condemn them!”
Hiss…
Another strange sound followed right after the two women finished speaking. Jin Ling suddenly produced an ancient-looking long sword from seemingly nowhere and made a swift cut across her hand. Instantly, a long gash appeared on Jin Ling's palm, blood flowing steadily from it.
“Wow, this Brotherhood is quite bloody,” Ye Huan thought.
Standing beside Ye Huan, Yu Wuxia quietly voiced his dissatisfaction with the scene before them. However, Brotherhood was not going to come to an end simply because of Yu Wuxia's discomfort. Just after Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling had paid their respects to the heavens, the two girls approached the edge of the cliff at Yuxu Peak. In unison, they extended their left hands and let their hot blood spill down into the abyss below.
“What is this...”
Yu Wuxia frowned slightly, clearly puzzled by the sight of the two girls pouring their blood onto the grounds of Yuxu Palace. Yet for Ye Huan, who hailed from the Twenty-First Century, he understood Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling's intentions quite well. He spoke up, “Only blood can signify loyalty between each other. If one cannot even shed blood for one another, how can they speak of sharing fortunes and misfortunes or being inseparable?”
“What you say... seems to make some sense.”
Nodding in agreement, Yu Wuxia felt that Ye Huan did not seem like a young man in his twenties. If he did not know Ye Huan's background, he might have even thought that Ye Huan had lived longer and traveled more than he had based on that statement alone.
It was no wonder Yu Wuxia felt this way; as a member of Yuxu Palace, he had spent most of his time atop Yuxu Peak and rarely descended the mountain. His understanding of human affairs was not necessarily greater than Ye Huan's. Moreover, having lived two lives and being influenced by the internet culture of the Twenty-First Century, if it came down to experience, Yu Wuxia might not be able to compete with Ye Huan.
‘Of course, this is something I read in a novel back in the day; how could it lack reason?’
Internally scoffing at Yu Wuxia, Ye Huan maintained a neutral expression upon hearing his words. Fortunately, Yu Wuxia was unaware that Ye Huan's earlier statement was nothing but blatant plagiarism and had no idea what Ye Huan was truly thinking. Otherwise, Yu Wuxia would surely have confronted him.
After a moment of silence, Yu Wuxia finally snapped back to reality from Ye Huan's words. However, when he glanced at Jin Ling, a question suddenly surged in his mind, prompting him to ask Ye Huan, “Ye Huan, do you think Jin Ling and Zhao Ziyu have some ulterior motives?”
“Hmm? Why do you think that? Did you notice something?”
Having found Jin Ling's excessive attentiveness towards Zhao Ziyu somewhat strange earlier, Ye Huan shifted his focus entirely to this matter after Yu Wuxia brought it up. He even asked for Yu Wuxia's opinion.
“Think about it. Regardless of Jin Ling's status in Heavenly Dragon Sect, based on her cultivation level alone, she shouldn't need to lower herself to associate with Zhao Ziyu and Brotherhood. Yet here we are; she has indeed done so. Therefore, I am certain that Jin Ling must be scheming something!”
Furrowing his brows deeply, Yu Wuxia initially spoke with a hint of uncertainty. However, as he continued, it seemed he was stating a fact. This was precisely what Ye Huan had been unable to comprehend earlier. Fortunately, Ye Huan could be certain of one thing: Jin Ling definitely intended to use him. Only by utilizing Ye Huan could Jin Ling emerge victorious in the conflict between the Heavenly Dragon Sect and Yuxu Palace.
"I think you are absolutely right. Jin Ling is indeed not an ordinary woman. However, since she has chosen to ally with Zhao Ziyu and Brotherhood, she will likely stand on our side. Instead of worrying about her true intentions, we should focus on how we can leverage Jin Ling's sensitive identity to eliminate the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong."
Unlike Yu Wuxia, who was overly concerned, Ye Huan believed he did not need to know Jin Ling's schemes. What he truly needed to figure out was how to deal with the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong. If this dragged on for another three to five days, Gu Long might soon make an appearance. By then, if Gu Long came in person, Ye Huan would likely lose any chance to take action...
