Chapter 336: Another One Who Regrets It
Lan Zi Yu’s eyes were bloodshot, his face had gone a sickly green, and his lips were pressed into a straight line. He was clearly forcing himself to endure.

Yu Zhao actually did not want to pay any attention to Lan Zi Yu.

She had already learned from the Heavenly Tome that this was Lan Zi Yu’s final lifetime. After he died, he would no longer enter the Cycle of Reincarnation, but would disappear completely, never to exist again.

Yu Zhao was very satisfied with that ending for him, so she had no plans to waste her already precious time on him.

But Lan Zi Yu just had to use his awful acting to pollute her eyes and ruin her mood. Now she felt upset. If she was uncomfortable, then Lan Zi Yu could forget about having a good time.

Yu Zhao sneered: “Lan Zi Yu, do you think that by pushing all the blame onto Ye Cong Xin, the grudges between us can just be wiped clean? How ridiculous! Was it Ye Cong Xin who forced you to hate me, target me, and beat and scold me?”

She curled her lip: “She is a Malevolent Spirit, and you are not any better.”

She continued: “No, if anything, Ye Cong Xin is a little better than you. At least she knows she is bad. You only want to shove the blame away, yet you still have the nerve to ask me to go back?”

She spat out one last word: “Get lost!”

That last word, Yu Zhao said with sharp, ringing force.

Lan Zi Yu was always arrogant and proud. When had anyone ever cursed him to his face like this, and so harshly? And the one scolding him was Yu Zhao, the person he had once looked down on the most.

A powerful wave of humiliation surged over him. His body trembled slightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Just when Yu Zhao thought he could no longer endure it and would explode, he actually lowered his tone and started apologizing humbly: “Yu Zhao, I never meant to hurt you. I already know what I did wrong. Can you give me another chance?”

He hurried on: “I promise I will never make the same mistake again. Don’t you like the flutes I carve by hand the most? However many you want, I will make them for you. I won’t give them to anyone else, only to you.”

He stretched out a hand: “Come back. I need you, and Lone Moon Peak needs you too!”

Yu Zhao could not help giving Lan Zi Yu a slow look up and down, amusement flickering in her eyes.

Lan Zi Yu was not someone who would admit he was wrong first. Even if he knew he was at fault, he would still stubbornly refuse to say it. Only after others laid a step down for him would he reluctantly lower himself to accept it. Yet this time, even though she had not threatened him at all, he had lowered his stance and backed down again and again.

Yu Zhao let out a cold snort: “Lan Zi Yu, just say directly what you are trying to do.”

“I… I’m not trying to do anything, I truly came to apologize to you,” Lan Zi Yu said, his gaze flickering.

Yu Zhao used her Spirit Power to shove him to the side, then lifted her foot to leave.

He panicked and shouted: “Don’t go! I’ll say it!”

Yu Zhao stopped, her gaze landing on Lan Zi Yu’s tangled expression.

Now she really was a little curious. For someone as shameless as Lan Zi Yu to actually find something hard to say, how outrageous must his request be?

Lan Zi Yu clenched his teeth, then blurted everything out in one breath: “I heard that you have a share in the furnace of pills Sect Master Wu Sang just refined. My Cultivation Level has been stuck lately, so I wanted to ask you for one pill.”

After he finished, he seemed afraid that Yu Zhao would say something even harsher, so he hurried to add: “I’m not asking you to give it to me for nothing. After I become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, I’ll repay you.”

Silence.

A long silence.

Yu Zhao did not speak for a long time, and Lan Zi Yu grew anxious.

He had only been forced into a corner before he could bring himself to ask Yu Zhao.

Ever since he had sparred with Quan Ye, it felt as if he had been trapped in a huge Cultivation Bottleneck and could not move forward at all. His body was also much worse than before. He often felt that his strength could not keep up.

He could not accept being mediocre, so he could only try every method he could think of to change his situation. But he had tried several ways with no effect, until today, when he saw the heavenly phenomenon descend as Sect Master Wu Sang finished refining his pills. Then his heart was moved.

Sect Master Wu Sang was not easy to approach, and he would certainly not give him a pill for no reason. Just as Lan Zi Yu was about to give up, he heard from a fellow disciple that Yu Zhao had something to do with the pills Sect Master Wu Sang refined. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to yield to Yu Zhao.

Anyway, there was no deep hatred between them, and wasn’t Yu Zhao just waiting for him to take the initiative and admit he was wrong? He would just treat it as giving way to her this once.

Lan Zi Yu had thought it all through very nicely, so when Yu Zhao did not act according to his expectations, he was shocked and furious.

Yu Zhao finally opened her mouth: “Lan Zi Yu, I see I still underestimated you. How can you say something so shameless out loud?”

“Yu Zhao!!!” he roared.

She raised a brow: “What, you can do it but can’t stand someone saying it?”

Yu Zhao was honestly impressed.

Even if Lan Zi Yu did not know the exact value of the Longevity Pill, he should at least be able to guess that any pill that could make the dignified Sect Master of the Greenwood Sect personally take action to refine it would not be an ordinary item.

Yet he still dared to open his mouth wide and shamelessly ask her for one, even using an apology as his excuse.

Yu Zhao already regretted staying to listen to his nonsense.

Lan Zi Yu’s face twisted: “You… you actually dare to trample on my dignity!”

She shrugged: “Dignity? Don’t insult something you don’t even have.”

“Fine, fine, fine, you forced me into this!” Lan Zi Yu let his anger take over and rushed forward, wanting to teach Yu Zhao a lesson.

Yu Zhao’s eyes lit up.

The only reason she had stayed was to provoke Lan Zi Yu.

As the former Captain of the Disciplinary Squad, she could not knowingly break the rules by taking the initiative to attack a fellow disciple. But if the other party struck first and she then counterattacked, it would be a completely different matter.

Right now, the difference between her Cultivation Level and Lan Zi Yu’s was like heaven and earth. She did not even need to use a Magical Artifact to beat him until he was half paralyzed and crawling around the ground hunting for his teeth.

She formed a spell seal with her right hand, just about to strike.

Bang.

Lan Zi Yu’s body suddenly flew up, then slammed hard into the huge boulder by the roadside.

“Pfft!” A mouthful of bright blood sprayed out.

Lan Zi Yu’s face turned snow white, and it felt as if his internal organs had all shifted out of place. The pain was unbearable.

Yu Zhao’s brows knit together.

A cold voice rang out: “Wicked disciple! You dare to lay a hand on your Junior Sister! Shameless thing!”

“Mas… Master…” Lan Zi Yu’s face lost all color.

He could not understand why his Master was standing up for Yu Zhao. Had his Master not always hated this disciple Yu Zhao the most?

Yu Zhao looked at the man’s back in front of her and also felt it was absurd.

Master Qing Yan was actually standing up to protect her?

But she quickly realized where Master Qing Yan’s strange behavior came from.

It made no sense for Su Ming and Quan Ye to have awakened their past life memories while Master Qing Yan knew nothing.

So he must also have remembered, and now he was trying to atone for how he had hurt her in the past?

But what of it? His guilt had come far too late. She no longer needed it.

Yu Zhao could mock Lan Zi Yu because she knew that Lan Zi Yu no longer posed any threat to her.

Master Qing Yan was different.

He was a Divine Transformation Cultivator, and even the Foremost Divine Transformation Expert. He was someone she could not fight against, at least for now.

Yu Zhao gave a perfunctory bow and said: “Master Qing Yan.”

She then turned, planning to leave.

But Master Qing Yan called out to stop her: “Little Zhao.”

Yu Zhao shivered, a chill crawling over her.

She forced herself to turn back and asked calmly: “Master Qing Yan, do you have any other instructions?”

Master Qing Yan looked at her, his lips tight for a moment, then said quietly: “Little Zhao, I regret it.”

[Great. Another one who regrets it.]

He took a deep breath and blurted out: “Little Zhao, I… I’m not only your Master. I’m also your uncle!”

Yu Zhao was stunned.

Her mind went blank: [What??? Sect Master, save me! Master Qing Yan is having another episode again!]
