"Oh right, I still don't know your name?" The lady in white suddenly asked.
"Lu Xuan." Lu Xuan answered casually. Then, he asked, "I heard them call you Miss Bing-er. Is your name Bing-er?"
"Yes, Zhao Bing-er." The lady in white nodded. Then, she glared at Lu Xuan and said, "Bing-er is not for you to call?"
Lu Xuan smiled awkwardly. Just now, the atmosphere was so relaxed that he had forgotten about Zhao Bing-er's strength. With her strength, not to mention calling her by her name, he could even call her senior. However, Zhao Bing-er's age made it impossible for Lu Xuan to call her senior.
After a short pause, Zhao Bing-er opened her mouth and said, "Lu Xuan, let me tell you a story."
"Go ahead, I'm listening." Lu Xuan knew that the story Zhao Bing-er was telling him was probably her own story.
Zhao Bing-er's eyes gradually became misty. It was obvious that she was lost in her memories. After a while, she opened her mouth and said, "There was once a little girl. She was an orphan. She didn't know who her parents were. However, she was much luckier than other orphans. When she was very young, she was adopted by a strong cultivator. From then on, she had a teacher, a teacher who was like a mother to her."
"The teacher treated her very well. He treated her like his own daughter. Everything he gave her was the best. The little girl was also very talented. She was very hardworking. Very quickly, the little girl stood out from the younger generation of the Sect. She became the center of attention and was sought after by many."
"Slowly, the little girl grew up. She was slender, elegant, and beautiful. Many of her fellow disciples fell in love with her. Naturally, the Eldest Senior Brother of the sect was also included."
"Everyone knows that Eldest Senior Brother likes the little girl. Eldest Senior Brother is very strong, the strongest among all the disciples. He is also one of the candidates for the next Sect Master. Furthermore, Eldest Senior Brother is a very good person, and takes good care of the little girl. It's not just all the disciples, even all the elders and seniors think that Eldest Senior Brother and the little girl are a match made in heaven, and they are thinking of ways to bring them together."
"However, the little girl doesn't like Eldest Senior Brother. When it comes to feelings, it's hard to explain. If she doesn't like him, then she doesn't like him. No one can force her. Therefore, the little girl rejected Eldest Senior Brother. The little girl is very lucky because she has a master who is like a mother to her. As long as she doesn't like him, no one can force her."
"The little girl is living a happy and fulfilling life. How great would it be if everything could continue like this …"
At this point, Zhao Binger sighed softly. Lu Xuan's eyelids twitched. He knew that the turning point had come.
"Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable, and people have their ups and downs. The little girl's master went missing while exploring a secret territory. The little girl was very worried because her master was the closest person to her in the world. She couldn't live without her master."
"However, the little girl was still too naive. She had no right to worry about her master, because she couldn't even protect herself. Without her master's protection, the little girl's status in the Sect plummeted. Even if her strength and talent were not bad, how could she compare to Eldest Senior Brother?"
"Therefore, the elders of the Sect began to force the little girl to marry Eldest Senior Brother. However, the little girl refused because she didn't like Eldest Senior Brother. But, what could she do? Without her master's protection, she had no ability to resist. "
"Eldest Senior Brother promised the little girl that as long as the little girl married him, he would ask all the elders of the Sect to help find the little girl's master. The little girl was moved, not because of Eldest Senior Brother, but because she could find her master's whereabouts. As long as her master could return safely, what's the point of sacrificing herself? If nothing happened later, the little girl might have already married Eldest Senior Brother. "
Speaking up to this point, Zhao Bing`er's skinny shoulders trembled slightly. It was obvious that she wasn't calm. She wasn't sure if she was angry or something else.
"By chance, the little girl went to Eldest Senior Brother's residence to look for him. She accidentally overheard Eldest Senior Brother talking to a few of his close disciples. Eldest Senior Brother laughed and said that he actually didn't like the little girl at all. Although the little girl was beautiful, he only saw her as a plaything."
"The reason why he wants the little girl so strongly is because of the little girl's special physique. The little girl's cultivation speed is so fast because the little girl has an extremely rare Profound Ice Body. If he can obtain the Profound Ice Body's virgin Primordial Yin, it will greatly benefit his cultivation!"
"He, he even said that after he obtained the little girl's virgin yin, he could give it to his followers to play with as they pleased!"
At this point, Zhao Bing`er's shoulders trembled even more violently. It was obvious that she couldn't hold back her anger.
"The little girl suddenly became extremely angry. She never would have thought that Eldest Senior Brother, who usually seemed like a good person, would have such an evil and unbearable heart! Perhaps because she was extremely angry, the little girl's aura unconsciously emitted, and Eldest Senior Brother and the others immediately noticed it. "
"When he realized that he had been exposed, Eldest Senior Brother immediately rushed out and wanted to capture the little girl. However, the little girl was already prepared. She knew that no one in the sect would believe or help her, so she decisively chose to escape. Eldest Senior Brother immediately sent people to chase after her before she could capture the little girl in time."
"There were many people chasing after the little girl, and there was no lack of strong cultivators among them. The little girl was injured, very seriously injured. The moment she was injured, the little girl truly believed Eldest Senior Brother's words. He only wanted the little girl's virgin yin, because if it wasn't for Eldest Senior Brother's order, the people chasing after her would never dare to hurt her. At that moment, she completely gave up …"
"She definitely couldn't let that beast have his way. She would rather die than let him have his way. She also began to kill, killing a few people from the sect, because they were all the people of that beast's eldest senior brother. She wouldn't regret it, and as she fled aimlessly, she finally escaped to an unknown mountain range. After that, you know what happened."
Zhao Bing`er took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She slowly opened her mouth and said, "That's right, that little girl was me."
After telling the whole story, Zhao Bing`er immediately closed her eyes. Lu Xuan was the first person to hear about it, and it was also her first time narrating it. She realized that after telling the story, she felt a lot better. At least there was someone who could share the sadness and anger in her heart.
"The meat is done. Have a taste, it's pretty good. This beast's meat is the most fragrant. Usually, I can't bear to eat it, but since you're here, I brought it out." Lu Xuan handed the meat skewer made from the high-grade human class sword to Zhao Bing`er.
Zhao Bing`er stared blankly at Lu Xuan. She didn't know how to react for a moment. She thought that after hearing her story, Lu Xuan would comfort her, pity her, or help her scold that beast.
However, he did not expect Lu Xuan to suddenly say something that had nothing to do with him.
Looking at Zhao Bing`er's eyes, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, this sword has never killed anyone. It's very clean."
Looking at Lu Xuan's sincere smile, Zhao Bing`er felt that this was pretty good. Anyway, she felt a lot better after telling it. She immediately reached out and took the sword. She didn't notice it when she was reminiscing, but now that she smelled it, the meat was indeed fragrant, much more fragrant than anything she had eaten before.
For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little hungry. She carefully took a bite. She had to admit that the meat tasted even better than it smelled. The texture was very good. After being processed by Lu Xuan's yuan qi and sword intent, the meat became very soft and could be easily bitten through. But because the meat itself was very compact, it didn't feel greasy. After taking a bite, she couldn't help but want to take a second bite.
Seeing that Zhao Bing`er was enjoying it, Lu Xuan instantly smiled. This was a skill that he had honed for a few months. Apart from himself, Zhao Bing`er was the first person to taste the food made by him, Chef Lu.
He immediately took a bite, but the way he ate was not as elegant as Zhao Bing`er. Moreover, he didn't feel that it was very fragrant. After eating the same food for a few months, not to mention fragrant, it would be good if he didn't vomit.
After swallowing a piece of meat, Lu Xuan pondered for a moment before saying, "The first half of this story is very cliché, and the second half is also very cliché. Because similar stories like this have happened many times in the secular world. In fact, many people were even more miserable than you because they couldn't escape and eventually fell into the devil's clutches."
"But you are lucky. At least you managed to escape. So, let those cliché stories of the past be in the past. Your story has only just begun."
Zhao Bing`er, who was taking small bites of meat, suddenly froze when she heard Lu Xuan's words. She raised her head and looked at Lu Xuan. She repeated what Lu Xuan said, "My story has only just begun?"
"That's right. Even if you recall those things now, it will be useless. It will only add to your worries. I believe that your master doesn't want to see you like this. What you need to do now, isn't it to quickly recover from your injuries and have enough power to protect yourself? Then, work hard to improve yourself and think of a way to find your master?" Lu Xuan asked.
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Zhao Bing`er suddenly felt as if she had been enlightened. That's right, I have already escaped and should have my own goal. Why should I feel sorry for myself?
That's right, I should first protect myself and then work hard to find my master. Zhao Bing`er's gaze gradually became determined.
"Are you … really only 17 years old?" Zhao Binger asked as she looked at Lu Xuan in confusion. Lu Xuan was able to get her through to him with just a few words. She found it hard to believe that this seemingly carefree young man was actually a few years younger than her.
After taking another fierce bite of meat, Lu Xuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't think that you are older and stronger than me. You might not have experienced more than me."
Zhao Bing`er immediately fell silent. She suddenly realized that Lu Xuan was actually quite mysterious.
