This was the first time Bai Luochu had noticed Hua Sen. When she was conversing with Lu Wenshu, she didn"t notice his presence. She also failed to recognize him as he wasn"t present in her past life.
"Don"t you hate me? Don"t you feel that I am the one that caused your senior"s death?" Bai Luochu was rather astonished by Hua Sen"s composure.
Hate? It wasn"t possible as it was too difficult to hate a person. Hua Sen had resided in the Reflection Cliff for a whole two years. He comprehended the meaning of life and death and realized that it was pointless to hate a person. After all, he shouldn"t be blaming Bai Luochu as everything that happened was the fault of the greedy elders in his sect...
"Will Young Lady Bai please give me some time... After I arrange the burial of my senior, I will follow you to eliminate the sect elders."
Hua Sen didn"t answer Bai Luochu"s question and used his actions to express his feelings. Bai Luochu was also startled as she didn"t think that Hua Sen would actually choose to help her. She glanced at Pei Qingfeng and realized that he was also looking at her with a confused expression.
Hua Sen saw their interaction and he said, "I only blame the elders in the sect. Because of their greed, Senior wasted his entire life and died with regrets. They need to learn their lesson.”
Because of their age, the elders were obstinate and self-opinionated. That was something that Hua Sen hated the most. The elders made use of the disciples in the sect as tools and it caused Hua Sen to feel endless disgust.
Bai Luochu never thought that Hua Sen was able to see through the state of his sect. She nodded with approval and swung her hand to remove the restriction on Hua Sen.
"Your restriction in the Reflection Cliff has been removed. You can just relax and bury your senior." Bai Luochu waved her hand and instructed Hua Sen to do whatever he wanted.
Hua Sen carried Lu Wenshu"s corpse and bowed deeply before saying to Bai Luochu, "Many thanks." he refused to say anything else and he left with the corpse over his shoulder.
Pei Qingfeng saw how Bai Luochu removed the restriction on Hua Sen in such a straightforward manner and felt ill at ease. What if Hua Sen suddenly turned on us? Just as Pei Qingfeng wanted to ask, Bai Luochu spoke first, "He won"t."
As though they were able to reach each other"s thoughts, Bai Luochu replied Pei Qingfeng before the question could leave his mouth. After fully experiencing the feelings people held for her for two lives, she understood that everything other than love and hate could be concealed from the other party. No matter what happened, the eyes were the windows to the soul.
Hua Sen looked at the two of them with indifference. However, the hatred in his eyes couldn"t be concealed when he spoke about the elders.
Bai Luochu understood that if she could make use of Hua Sen, he would be of great a.s.sistance.
Just as Bai Luochu expected, after Hua Sen buried Lu Wenshu, he returned to the Reflection Cliff. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Bai Luochu and Pei Qingfeng were both present.
"This isn"t a good time to make a move. If we are planning to move against them, we need to wait for the elders to enter a state of cultivation. They usually cultivate in the night, and that would be the best time to take them down."
Hua Sen had followed Lu Wenshu for a period of time and when he saw that someone was willing to exact revenge for his senior, he spilled everything he knew about the elders.
Bai Luochu nodded and didn"t say much. A plan had already been formulated in her heart and she wouldn"t allow the elders to die a meaningless death.
Nighttime finally fell, and the sect fell into complete silence. Lu Wenshu"s sect was rather special and everyone cultivated through the night. Now that it was time, they naturally started their meditation.
Bai Luochu and Pei Qingfeng sneaked in quietly and prepared to a.s.sa.s.sinate the elders without leaving a trace.
Just as Hua Sen and Pei Qingfeng were preparing to enter and kill, they were stopped by Bai Luochu.
"There is no need to hurry. They ought to have a taste of the suffering I felt in the past." After speaking, Bai Luochu blew a puff of sleep incense into each of the elder"s rooms. The incense wasn"t a normal one and those who breathed in even the slightest amount would lose their minds.
"What is that?" Hua Sen took two big breaths as he wanted to know what it was.
Bai Luochu immediately handed an antidote to Hua Sen and said, "This isn"t an ordinary sleeping incense. Are you crazy? Are you planning to kill yourself?”
How could Hua Sen know that such a pleasant-smelling thing would actually be fatal? He wasn"t willing to die before the old fogies in the sect. As such, Hua Sen didn"t hesitate and he swallowed the antidote.
Bai Luochu had given the elders the Three Day Intoxication that was laced with additional ingredients. After considering the elders" strength, Bai Luochu had refined the elixir with some other ideas in mind.
The medicine included Jimsonweed that didn"t just increase the toxicity. Due to the dark and moist location the plant bloomed, the worst memory of the victim would be brought out. Bai Luochu wanted the elders to die from the most painful death possible.
"Is that the Three Day Intoxication?" Pei Qingfeng naturally knew the kind of poison Bai Luochu had been concocting,
Bai Luochu didn"t say anything and nodded silently.
Hua Sen was rather surprised. He already knew that the evil dao witch was eccentric, but he never expected her to be able to think of such a formless way to eliminate all her opponents.
When she felt a change in the aura the elders emitted, Bai Luochu knew that her poison had taken effect. She turned around and walked to the Reflection Cliff.
"Where are you going?" When Hua Sen saw them leaving, a wave of confusion washed over him. The elders seemed fine, and he didn"t understand why they were leaving.
Bai Luochu looked at Hua Sen. He seemed rather quick-witted earlier, but he"s acting brainless now...
"If you want to wait here for people to discover you, who do you think will be blamed for their deaths?”
