After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad! Chapter 102

What does he an by saying that heaven has won?

Xiao Hongyi was utterly perplexed.

She didn’t understand the aning of these words, but she etched them firmly in her mind.

She thought that perhaps only by returning to reality and asking Jiang Chen could she unravel the mystery.

But soon, she understood.

After this incident, Jiang Chen’s ‘misdeeds’ began to appear frequently, all with conclusive evidence.

But without exception, they were all ‘coincidences’!

The personal clothing of a female disciple from the Ninth Peak was lost, and Jiang Chen happened to pick it up, only to be caught by the owner just as he did so.

The young Qingning was extrely dependent on Jiang Chen and entered dangerous situations many tis to make him happy. Yet there would be witnesses every ti she returned and gave the items to Jiang Chen!

Lin Mubai couldn’t stand it and verbally reprimanded Jiang Chen many tis.

Every ti, Jiang Chen wanted to patiently explain, but before he could speak, so younger disciples would attack Lin Mubai with punches and kicks to get his favor.

Even if Jiang Chen scolded them harshly afterward, these disciples would still act recklessly the next ti. They would later say they were too angry to control themselves.

Undoubtedly, these misdeeds were all attributed to Jiang Chen.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongyi felt a pang of heartache.

She finally understood. It seed that heaven was targeting her disciple.

She began to cry.

She cried for Jiang Chen’s experiences and for her own mistrust.

She had clearly said that as long as Jiang Chen walked the righteous path, she would always believe in him.

She had clearly said that as long as Jiang Chen was kind-hearted, the master and disciple would be united as one, never to part.

But what was the result?

She, as a master, had repeatedly broken her word.

In the face of nurous conclusive ‘evidence’, she, like others, had repeatedly misunderstood Jiang Chen and continuously punished him!

This situation lasted for years.

During this ti, Mu Kui and Jiang Lianyue beca disciples in succession.

……

Jiuyan Sect, Elixir Peak.

Jiang Chen rarely visited because the elders and disciples of Elixir Peak despised him.

But this ti, he ca.

Despite the cold treatnt, he still used his few rits to exchange for the opportunity to personally refine pills in the pill room.

In the narrow and hot pill room, Jiang Chen was studying the pill formula.

Xiao Hongyi didn’t know why he had co here, she just stood quietly by Jiang Chen’s side. Her beautiful eyes were swollen from crying and her face was full of heartache.

Though she was mired in self-reproach, she was even more bewildered.

Her mory discrepancies were growing.

She kept noticing that sothing was off, and there were many things she had no mory of at all!

She also noticed that this eldest disciple in front of her was completely different from the Jiang Chen in reality.

Although they looked the sa, the difference was like day and night, making it hard to associate them together.

All of this felt unreal to her.

But every ti she resisted and didn’t want to believe, she could clearly feel Jiang Chen’s emotional changes.

She could feel Jiang Chen’s disappointnt, his gloom, and the indescribable pain when he was punished by the version of herself in the vision.

Everything felt terrifyingly real as if it had truly happened…

Xiao Hongyi looked up.

Although she was inside the pill room, her gaze seed to penetrate the stone walls of the pill room, through the mountains of Elixir Peak, and directly into the sky.

【First Life】

The golden characters hung in the clouds, even more dazzling than before.

The sword-like golden radiance they emitted seed capable of piercing through all things in the world, piercing through people’s hearts.

When Xiao Hongyi first saw these golden characters, she was extrely bewildered.

But now, her beautiful eyes snapped open.

Despite finding it unbelievable, shocking, and feeling that only a fool would make such an association, she…

Still burst into tears.

With tears that seed to choke her, she took a long ti before she finally managed to sob out,

“… Disciple, how many lifetis have you been through?”

Jiang Chen couldn’t hear these words.

Though he couldn’t hear, he was sighing, “This Fire Impurity Pill can only be refined by a fifth-grade pill refiner, which is a bit troubleso. But with my talent, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Fire Impurity Pill?

Hearing this na, Xiao Hongyi was taken aback again.

She knew that the Fire Impurity Pill was being refined for Jiang Lianyue, but she never knew that her eldest disciple could refine pills…

Afterward, Jiang Chen began to imrse himself in studying the pill scriptures, neglecting sleep and food.

He had fainted from severe ntal exhaustion and had been burned when he went to the depths of Elixir Peak to gather pill fire.

During this ti, Xiao Hongyi remained silent.

She had no mory of this and didn’t know what would happen.

But she guessed that this matter might not end well, as it had always been the case in the past.

Yet, she did not stop him.

Apart from knowing that stopping him was futile, a more important reason was…

As his master, she couldn’t hinder Jiang Chen from walking the right path. She couldn’t stop Jiang Chen from caring for his junior brothers and sisters.

Even though she knew that under constant misunderstandings, Jiang Chen was already exhausted in body and mind.

Even though her heart ached as if it were being cut by knives, she still couldn’t utter the word ‘give up’.

Because… wasn’t that her only demand of Jiang Chen?

……

Ti unknowingly passed.

“Haha! I’ve succeeded!” Jiang Chen laughed heartily.

He collected the freshly refined pills and quickly left the pill room, leaving Elixir Peak.

Xiao Hongyi followed him.

But just as they were about to leave, she overheard whispers behind her:

“Elder Ma, this Jiang Chen has quite the talent for pill refining!”

“Hmph, what does it matter if he’s talented? In the end, he’s just a disgrace to the sect!”

“Indeed, but there was no need for you to tamper with that pill fire, causing it to dissipate on its own!”

“Such a disgrace doesn’t deserve to refine pills! I did it for the sake of the sect! If he really got the pill fire, wouldn’t he use it to refine poison pills every day?”

“I see. Elder Ma is taking precautions, admirable indeed.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongyi stiffened.

She knew that Ma Wu had a big problem with Jiang Chen, but she never expected it to go this far.

This ans that if another misunderstanding occurs and Jiang Chen’s pill fire dissipates, it will be difficult for him to prove his innocence.

After all, what kind of pill refiner would he be without pill fire?

Her guess was soon confird.

Inside the Ninth Peak Cloud Soaring Hall,

Jiang Chen was caught red-handed peeping at Jiang Lianyue bathing.

Seeing him being accused by everyone, Xiao Hongyi felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Her mories overlapped with the scene before her, yet there were differences.

She clearly rembered that Jiang Chen had readily admitted his guilt in the past.

But the Jiang Chen in white before her kept explaining that it was a misunderstanding.

But what was the use of explanations?

Without pill fire, he could not be a pill refiner.

Without the Fire Impurity Pill, he couldn’t prove his innocence.

This was another ironclad ‘evidence’.

And this ti, the one who imposed the greatest punishnt on Jiang Chen because of this ironclad evidence was herself.

She had personally destroyed Jiang Chen’s Core Formation.

She had misunderstood Jiang Chen, yet she acted with a broken heart like a victim…

Jiang Chen fell to the ground unconscious, with no one to care for him.

She, the master who had gone back on her word again, was comforted by many elders and disciples.

All of this made Xiao Hongyi feel for the first ti…

Sin.

Heaven was targeting her disciple.

Ma Wu, Li Fadu, and other ‘righteous people’ were also targeting her disciple.

As his master, she not only failed to protect Jiang Chen from the storm and failed to choose to believe in him, but she also personally took action, plunging a deep knife into his already battered heart.

Such sin is even heavier than that of others.

Outside the hall, the rain poured down, and thunder rumbled frequently among the clouds.

Xiao Hongyi in the void gave a pale smile.

She was always insecure, always asking others whether she had failed as a master whenever her disciple made a mistake.

Now, she finally got the answer.

She was more than negligent, she was burdened with sin!

She didn’t even deserve to hear Jiang Chen call her ‘Master’!

If one has a heart towards goodness and follows the right path, and all it brings is injustice in the world, then why should one humble oneself?

“Disciple, give up.”

After a smile of despair, Xiao Hongyi whispered softly, “Master is unworthy, and this world is also unworthy, unworthy of having you leaning towards goodness…”
