Chapter 181 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 30
However, before she could say a word, she was kicked.
Lin Yao'er covered her head, curled up, and braced herself for a beating.
But today the man seemed to be in a good mood and didn't continue hitting her. He just scolded her, "Get out of here and cook!"
Lin Yao'er felt as if she had been granted a pardon and hurriedly stumbled and ran to the kitchen.
Although he was lucky enough to escape a beating, he was still feeling particularly unwell, perhaps because he heard about Zong Yunze outside today and was frightened again.
Her heart, which had long been numb, suddenly felt particularly wronged and sad.
The thought of not knowing how much longer she would have to live like this filled her with despair.
She didn't know what went wrong that led her to this state.
Originally, her talent, though not exceptional, was not bad either. After all, she had passed the assessment of the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect. If she had gone to a small sect, she would have been considered a genius.
Moreover, she was fortunate enough to become the disciple of Immortal Venerable Yunze, which would surely make many people envious.
But now, she has become a mortal who cannot cultivate, and is even more miserable than ordinary people.
Thinking of the person who had tortured her so terribly, she could no longer remember what he looked like back then; now he was a demon!
She only found out that the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect hadn't accepted him after he took her in.
Those who passed the initial assessment were all retained by the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect. At the very least, they could become outer disciples, and if they performed well in the future, they would have the opportunity to enter the inner sect.
Only he was confiscated by the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect.
He said it was all because she was scheming, vicious, and selfish, and deliberately lured him into giving up such a good opportunity to become the disciple of Immortal Venerable Yunze, which caused him to be rejected by the Liuyun Immortal Sect.
But can we blame her?
He was the one who voluntarily gave up the opportunity; it wasn't her who made him give it up!
At first, she tried to explain to him in the face of his resentment, but each time it only made him more agitated and violent, and he beat and abused her more.
Later, she stopped trying to explain. Letting him vent his anger silently was easier than trying to explain.
Later, she learned to admit her mistakes and kneel down to beg for forgiveness.
After being thrown out of the Liuyun Immortal Sect, she lived a hellish life, which led Lin Yao'er to have mixed feelings of love and hate for Zong Yunze, because all the torment she suffered was related to Zong Yunze.
As Lin Yao'er was lost in thought, a sudden noise came from outside, as if something had been accidentally kicked over. The sound wasn't loud, but it startled Lin Yao'er.
She quickly wiped away her tears and started cooking.
The boy who gave up his chance to become Lin Yao'er's apprentice has lost his former honesty and looks quite gloomy.
At that moment, he was fiddling with herbs in the yard, his eyes filled with intense hope.
In fact, the reason why his temperament changed so drastically was not just because he failed to enter the Liuyun Immortal Sect.
When he was rejected by the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect, he was surprised and at a loss, but in the end he was only a little annoyed and regretful, and did not harbor resentment.
He even actively sought other options, thinking that if the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect didn't work out, he would go to other sects, even if he could only enter a small one.
He believed that as long as he worked hard, he would eventually grow and improve.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined.
He did indeed successfully enter a decent sect and even became sworn brothers with the sect leader's son for a period of time.
However, he foolishly opened his heart to the man, unaware that the sect leader's son was a petty and spoiled person, somewhat lawless.
The person the sect leader's son admired most was Immortal Venerable Yunze.
When he learned that Immortal Venerable Yunze had wanted to personally appoint him as a disciple, but he had refused to give him face on the spot and forcibly given the opportunity to a woman, his expression instantly changed, filled with both jealousy and anger.
Then he began to be targeted and bullied in various ways.
At first, it was just minor squabbles, which he silently endured. But later, the trouble escalated, causing him immense suffering. Finally, he could no longer bear it and begged the sect leader to uphold justice.
However, the sect leader doted on his only child, and after a few words of verbal reprimand, the matter was over.
However, he was met with even more egregious retaliation from the sect leader's son.
In the end, his spiritual root was damaged, and he could no longer cultivate. He could only leave the sect in a sorry state.
This experience was the fundamental reason for his dramatic change in temperament.
He often wondered what would have happened if he hadn't been foolish enough to give up the opportunity to become Lin Yao'er's apprentice.
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it and the more she resented Lin Yao'er, feeling that it was all her fault.
Because of his regret and resentment, he often couldn't help but linger outside the gates of the Liuyun Immortal Sect.
That's why they happened to find Lin Yao'er when she was frozen solid and thrown out.
After learning what had happened to Lin Yao'er, he felt it was fate.
Lin Yao'er simply didn't have that destiny, so even though she became a disciple of Immortal Venerable Yunze, she was eventually expelled from the sect.
His spiritual root was damaged by Lin Yao'er, and now Lin Yao'er's spiritual root has also been destroyed. This is retribution.
Lin Yao'er just happened to fall into his hands, which was retribution.
The herbs he is currently processing are said to be able to repair spiritual roots, but he went to great lengths to find them, and he desperately hopes that his spiritual roots can be restored.
When Lin Yao'er finished cooking despite her physical pain and came out, she found the demon that terrified her lying on the ground in the middle of the yard, clutching its own neck with both hands, its face contorted in pain, its eyes wide open, and blood and an unknown green liquid at the corner of its mouth.
She was so startled that she took two steps back and almost fell. After coughing for a while while clutching her chest, she calmed down a little. Seeing that he was still motionless, she cautiously walked over to check on him.
She reached out to check the man's breathing and, upon discovering that he had stopped breathing, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
Thinking about how this person wouldn't let her see a doctor, fed her spoiled food, threw steamed buns on the ground and crushed them with his foot before making her eat them, and scolded and beat her at the slightest provocation, and also...
She did consider running away, but her health was too poor, and she couldn't run very far. If she were caught and brought back, she would only be tortured even more. So she stopped trying to run away.
Now that demon is finally dead! She is finally free!
Lin Yao'er couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

The Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect quickly received news of the appearance of demonic cultivators in Yucheng.
However, this matter was not enough to alarm Zong Yunze.
Although Qi Yu was able to go into seclusion with peace of mind because Zong Yunze was in the sect, the sect's affairs were actually managed by other people.
However, Zong Yunze discovered that Yun Qing was too engrossed in cultivation, and what's more, she wasn't even into dual cultivation.
So he decided to help her improve her mental state, not just her cultivation level.
In short, it means taking her out to eat delicious food.
Since Yucheng was the closest to Liuyun Immortal Sect, the two went there.
Yun Qing, who had originally shrunk to a tiny size and was lazily hiding in his clothes, immediately crawled out when she smelled the aroma of food, returned to her normal size, and pulled him toward the stall.
"Senior brother, these wontons look good."
