So.
This thing was called the "Shadow Stealing Demon Pearl". It was a magic tool refined by her master, Bai Qingling, using the magic nuclei of flying flies in a blood pool. It could monitor other people's every move and follow the will of the owner of the magic tool to feed back the images!
Ever since they joined the sect, their every move had been monitored by that man!
In the second senior sister's words…
In that man's eyes, they were not disciples, but tools raised in captivity!
They were his exclusive property that he could defile as he wished!
"On the second senior sister's instructions, I've endured all these years and pretended not to know about the existence of these pearls, allowing him to spy on me like a pervert…"
"But… Why did he take the initiative to show this to me?"
The girl's thoughts were in chaos, and her small hands were sweaty from rubbing each other behind her back.
She didn't dare to look at the man beside her who was as shrewd as an abyss.
"Xing'er, raise your head and look carefully."
In the dead silence, Venerable Demon Qingling spoke again, and his voice was still indifferent as before.
"Yes, Master."
Cen Xing'er bit her lip and looked up. There were about a dozen Shadow Stealing Demon Pearls above her head. At the same time, they refracted a red pillar of light. The pillars of light intersected with each other and toasted each other.
In the blink of an eye, a huge light screen condensed in the void.
At the same time.
Lifelike scenes appeared on the light screen.
The first scene appeared.
In the scene, a braided girl who was about five or six years old knelt in front of her parents' corpses and wailed. Behind her was a fierce-looking man who looked like a bandit. He was holding a cold saber.
It seemed that the little girl's cries had already made the bandits a little impatient.
Pfft.
In the end, the steel knife was still extended toward her.
The little girl closed her eyes in despair.
At this moment, the bandits' sinister laughter stopped.
Immediately after, the sound of the wind and leaves in the surroundings disappeared.
Time and space seemed to have frozen.
A young and handsome black-robed man appeared on the screen.
He stepped over the corpses of a group of bandits and walked up to the girl step by step.
Until a tall figure drowned her thin frame.
Only then did the little girl come back to her senses. She looked at her savior's face and asked bitterly,
"Who… who are you?"
"My name is Bai Qingling."
"Are you an immortal from heaven? Please save my parents!"
"The gods and buddhas do not care about the people. The demonic path does not abandon all living beings."
The man looked at her and enunciated each word with an irresistible bewitchment in his voice. "Child, follow me."
"Where… where are we going?"
"Home."
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the man reached out his pale hands and gently held the girl's red face.
The scene froze.
"Master…"
Memories of the past surfaced in her mind again. Cen Xing'er could no longer hold back her tears!
It was Master!
At that time, he was still the powerful and gentle master she relied on the most!
She could even recall the warmth of the pair of large hands reaching for her!
Amidst her mixed emotions, she stole a glance at the man beside her.
The other party was still expressionless and only said indifferently, "Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Cen Xing'er held back her tears and looked again.
In the next moment.
The light screen in the void changed again, revealing another scene.
That was the scene of her master personally combing her hair and changing her into the sect's outfit!
Her eyes turned red again.
Swish, swish, swish.
In the following period of time, the scenes on the light screen kept changing.
The female lead in the scenes also changed from a chubby girl to a graceful young lady.
However, the frequency of the image of the silent man decreased…
At this moment, Cen Xing'er seemed to have completely forgotten the purpose of this trip. She covered her face and cried bitterly.
Bai Feng secretly glanced at the other party's reaction from the corner of his eye and heaved a sigh of relief.
Only after dealing with this girl could he continue with his plan to defy the heavens and change his fate!
He sighed and said,
"Xing'er, as you can see, your every move over the years was under my control."
"You lost your parents when you were young and your childhood was miserable. At that time, I only hoped that I could protect you in the future and not let you suffer any harm."
"However, I know that it's difficult for me to do so…"
"I had been fearless and wilful, and had made countless enemies. All of you are my disciples, so you would naturally be targeted by many people."
"I had been busy cultivating and couldn't be with you all the time, so… I refined these Shadow Stealing Heavenly Pearls so that I could protect you in time when you were in danger…"
"However, in my opinion, this was far from enough…"
"Therefore, all these years, I deliberately enslaved you and scolded you. I trampled on your dignity in front of everyone and let the world know that he treated you harshly. In this way, if people should attack in the future and if I should accidentally perish, the three of you could still have an excuse to stand against me and protect yourselves…"
"I had originally planned to bury this secret for the rest of my life, but now…"
"Seeing how much you hate me and even have the intention to kill me, I… Sigh!"
At this point, Bai Feng pretended to sigh heavily in pain.
"Forget it, forget it."
"I… only hope that my Xing'er can be safe and happy for the rest of her life. As for the rest, it's not important…"
As soon as he finished speaking.
With a "wu", the girl beside him cried out loud!
"Master! Xing'er was wrong!"
"Xing'er shouldn't have listened to others sowing discord! Xing'er is a big fool! Xing'er should have known long ago that Master is the person who treats me the best in this world!"
"Xing'er is really wrong! Please forgive me, Master! Xing'er is actually…"
"I really love Master… Boohoohoo…"
The girl smashed the pill bottle in her hand and knelt in front of the man.
At this moment, her hair was blown over her face and her eyes were filled with tears. Her pretty face looked even more beautiful and stirring.
"That won't be necessary."
Bai Feng shook his head in pain. Then, he leaned down and gently pinched the girl's warm cheek.
"It's hard to reconcile a broken mirror."
"Since you already have the intention to kill your master, our master-disciple relationship ends here."
As he spoke, his hands slid down the girl's cheeks to her fair and slender neck. Then, he placed them on the Beast Taming Collar…
He raised his hand gently.
The collar was removed.
"You're free."
"From now on, the world is huge. You can stay or go as you wish."
"Go. Don't force me to change my mind."
Bai Feng had just finished speaking coldly.
In the next second, something unexpected happened!
Cen Xing'er gently took the collar from his hand and put it back on her neck!
Then, in front of his knees, she sat obediently and raised her cute little face. She smiled with tears in her eyes.
"No way!"
"Xing'er… I'm willing to be Master's puppy for the rest of my life!"
