It did sound plausible. Ye Qiuhan picked up on the subtext in Qian Lin's words, and everything was understood without needing to be said.
"The Blood Sea Sect, as the name implies, is a Sect for Demonic Path Cultivators who Cultivate blood energy. Under the influence of the Blood Sea Sect's Cultivation Technique, the Spiritual Qi within their bodies transforms into blood spiritual qi, which is far more violent and sinister in nature. At the same time, they gain the ability to absorb the blood energy of other Cultivators to enhance their own cultivation base." Qian Lin explained the general situation of the Blood Sea Sect to Ye Qiuhan. "And when they communicate, they use a special method unique to them."
"Cultivators who do not possess blood spiritual qi cannot deceive them, so we have no way to lure her out using the Blood Sea Sect's methods."
Although Qian Lin was a Demon Path Supreme, she had no involvement with the Blood Sea Sect and had no interest in switching to Cultivate blood spiritual qi.
"We can't use the Blood Sea Sect's methods... then what should we do?"
"Of course, we use a different method. Stupid Girl, get me a piece of paper."
"I'm not stupid! Can you please stop calling me Stupid Girl!" Ye Qiuhan pouted, looking somewhat unhappy.
Qian Lin blinked. She didn't want to call her that either, but this girl still hadn't told Qian Lin her name. What else could Qian Lin do?
She had no choice but to use a nickname, right?
"I can stop calling you Stupid Girl, but you have to tell me your name, right? Otherwise, what am I supposed to call you?"
"My name? It's Y..." Ye Qiuhan had just started to say her name, but after only uttering the first syllable, she abruptly shut her mouth and swallowed the rest of her words.
She didn't know why, but she felt that now was not the time to tell Qian Lin her name.
"I'll tell you after this matter is over."
"Huh? So mysterious? Then I guess I'll just have to keep calling you Stupid Girl." Qian Lin scratched her head, unable to understand why this silly girl wouldn't say her name.
Could it be that her name was very important, the kind that couldn't be spoken aloud?
"No... um, you can just call me Haner. That's what my Master and the others call me."
Oh, Haner, huh... Wait?!
"What did you say your name was?!" Qian Lin's eyes widened. This Stupid Girl's name contained the character 'Han'!
And she even said her name was Haner!
"Haner, is there a problem?" Startled by Qian Lin's suddenly raised voice, Ye Qiuhan shrank back a little in fear.
She knew the name Haner would make Qian Lin's imagination run wild, but she didn't want to keep being called Stupid Girl by Qian Lin either.
Besides, no matter what Qian Lin asked, she would just deny everything. As long as she didn't admit it, Qian Lin couldn't be sure she was the future Yaochi Saintess, right?
"You wouldn't happen to be a Disciple of Yaochi, and you wouldn't happen to be named Ye Qiuhan, would you?" Qian Lin asked in a trembling voice. If the Stupid Girl in front of her was that Yaochi Saintess, then... well, she couldn't really do anything about it, could she?
What happened in her past life was in the past. What could she possibly do to Ye Qiuhan now?
Nothing at all.
Kill Ye Qiuhan? Wouldn't that just force her onto the same path of the Demonic Path as in her past life, but on a higher difficulty setting? Starting off by offending Yaochi, one of the Holy Lands, to the death?
Ye Qiuhan shook her head.
But she looked away, feeling somewhat guilty.
You really are Ye Qiuhan! Qian Lin felt like she was suffocating. She had thought about this Stupid Girl's identity, but she truly hadn't expected that this silly-looking girl was the future Yaochi Saintess who would dominate the world and stand at the pinnacle of the Righteous Path!
Is my luck too good? I just randomly picked a little girl to scam for Spirit Stones, and I ended up scamming the future Yaochi Saintess!
"In any case, I'll just call you Haner now. I don't want those one thousand Spirit Stones anymore either. Once this matter is resolved, I'll move out immediately, and we won't have anything to do with each other from now on, okay?" Qian Lin made up her mind. Regardless of whether this Haner was truly Ye Qiuhan, she didn't want to have any more dealings with this person!
This was that cold-blooded Righteous Path Saintess who killed without blinking! When she pierced through Qian Lin's chest with her sword, it had hurt so much!
Just thinking about how this black-haired girl might grow up to become that Yaochi Saintess made Qian Lin's chest ache, as if she had been stabbed viciously by a sword.
"Eh?" Ye Qiuhan looked at Qian Lin with some surprise. "I..."
"Don't say anything. I'll pretend you aren't, and you pretend I'm not. Let's just be strangers in this life. I'll go to the Heavenly Dao Sect or Penglai, and you can continue being your Yaochi Saintess." Qian Lin patted Ye Qiuhan's shoulder and said with a serious expression, "You've already killed me once; can you please not kill me a second time?"
"I think our Yaochi is much better than the Heavenly Dao Sect and Penglai..."
Are you seriously hung up on this, my sister! Qian Lin was absolutely stunned. What on earth did this Stupid Girl go through to become that breathtakingly beautiful and ruthless Yaochi Saintess?
Your priorities are completely wrong!
And you're not even denying that you're from Yaochi anymore. You can't even be bothered to act, can you?
Wait a second... Qian Lin recalled Ye Qiuhan's strange state from a little while ago, and a bold thought suddenly popped into her mind.
Could it be... that that Saintess has also returned?
Otherwise, Ye Qiuhan's state couldn't be explained. It couldn't be that she was originally a single body with two Souls, and now this silly Ye Qiuhan was being suppressed by the future Saintess Ye Qiuhan, unable to come out, right?
That wasn't very likely. Qian Lin preferred to believe that the Yaochi Saintess was hauntingly pursuing her.
"Yaochi is fine, but Ye Qiuhan is there, so I don't want to go." Qian Lin stated her position clearly. It wasn't that she didn't like Yaochi; she simply didn't want to be with Ye Qiuhan.
Who would want to stay with their mortal enemy from a past life? It would be a nightmare!
"Ha..." Ye Qiuhan scratched her face awkwardly. She didn't know how to persuade Qian Lin. Although she had thought about what Qian Lin's attitude would be after finding out her true identity, such a firm reaction was still beyond her expectations.
A sigh seemed to sound in her heart. Ye Qiuhan felt a wave of regret; she should have just said nothing and kept it hidden from Qian Lin.
Although Qian Lin would eventually figure out the truth one day, that would still be better than completely cutting ties right now, right?
"However, I won't go back on what I've already promised you. Since it's a judgment you've made, I believe there won't be any problems." Qian Lin muttered with a strange expression. Originally, she had been a bit skeptical of Ye Qiuhan's intuition, but now, she completely trusted Ye Qiuhan.
This was the future Yaochi Saintess, or perhaps even the future Saintess herself. What was there to doubt?
Just believe it, and that's that!
