All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me

Watching Wenren Pingxin stand tall and proud, Yu Hongxiu was also unwilling to show weakness. She thrust herself forward, her eyes narrowed, and said in a cold voice,

"What's my relationship with him? I am his sworn sister!"

"I have already recognized him as my sworn brother! Su Bei now has my Star Moon Sect's Star Moon Command, which makes him part of our Star Moon Sect!"

Star Moon Command? Sworn sister? Wenren Pingxin forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, looking at Yu Hongxiu with a puzzled expression. I know perfectly well what the Star Moon Command signifies! What on earth does this fish see in Su Bei, to bet the entire Star Moon Sect on him? Could it be Su Bei has secrets even I don't know about? And now she's his sworn sister, and he even gave *her* pants, but *he* didn't offer *me* a pair? She's just a fish! What right does she have to be so arrogant? His face instantly darkened, and he retorted,

"Sworn sister? I've cared for Su Bei since he was a baby, feeding him and changing his diapers. Now you just come along to reap the benefits?"

"Heh! You've been such a failure as a senior sister. You don't understand Su Bei at all."

"You understand? You've only met Su Bei a few times. How much could you possibly know about him? Do you know his strengths and weaknesses? Do you know him..."

"Being with you is utterly terrible for Su Bei! Anyway, since Su Bei is now an elder of my Star Moon Sect, I shall recall him. I will take over as his Big Senior Sister!"

Wenren Pingxin's eyelashes quivered. He glared furiously,

"What right do you have? You take over? What can you take over? The Star Moon Sect is all women. If your master in her coffin heard how 'filial' you are, she would probably crawl out of the ground and strangle you! What is your relationship with Su Bei?"

Yu Hongxiu curved her lips into a cold smile, her chest rising and falling continuously,

"You think I can't do it?"

Wenren Pingxin scrutinized Yu Hongxiu carefully, noting that her expression did not seem fake, not as if she were intentionally opposing him. As for Yu Hongxiu's personality, I know it like the back of my hand—what couldn't the Star Moon Femme Fatale do? With her giving out Tokens and becoming a sworn sister, she definitely saw something in Su Bei! Arguing like this is pointless!

With this thought, Wenren Pingxin calmed his emotions.

"Why the shouting?"

"I didn't come here to argue with you, fish!"

The snow continued to fall, layers of mist enveloping the cliffs.

The mountain fog grew denser, tumbling, surging, silent.

Su Bei gazed at Xiao Ruoching, who still had a cold expression, her dissatisfaction clearly etched on her forehead, and he sighed softly.

He reached out to touch her head, but she dodged away.

Su Bei's hand paused mid-air, somewhat awkwardly. He wasn't sure whether to withdraw it or leave it there.

Their eyes met, both of them seeing the flickers within each other's pupils.

Moonlight quietly fell between the two, tranquil and mysterious. It highlighted the unspoken feelings between them. It was as if they could touch each other with a single movement, yet a ray of moonlight created a divide as vast as the ends of the earth.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I took you as my disciple, and I haven't really had a heart-to-heart with you, have I?"

Su Bei weighed his tone, looking at the prodigal disciple before him. It was only now that Su Bei suddenly realized he knew far too little about her. He was not clear on her thoughts or her desires, nor did he know what she liked or disliked.

Gently raising his head, he looked at the moon, then patted the spot beside him, not even glancing at Xiao Ruoching. Regarding this disciple, from the beginning, or even now, my heart was set on having her train quickly to help me grow stronger. But judging from her behavior just now, was I wrong? Was I being unfairly harsh on her? Should I start trying to understand her gradually? Like now, I have no idea why she's suddenly upset. Although, to me, it seems as if she has developed feelings for me, becoming jealous upon seeing Ninth Junior Sister kiss me? Su Bei knew he was quite attractive, but he wasn't so conceited as to expect people to fall madly in love with him at first sight, offering him their hearts and souls.

As Su Bei pondered, he felt someone gently sit down beside him, maintaining a certain distance without pressing close.

"This question sounds very general, something everyone is asked before becoming a disciple."

"I always thought this question was uninteresting and dull, so I've never asked you."

Long hair fluttered in the night wind, reflecting in Su Bei's pupils.

Su Bei turned his head and looked at Xiao Ruoching, who hugged her knees. He asked in a very soft voice,

"What do you want to do after you've succeeded in your cultivation?"

Xiao Ruoching was slightly startled. In the somewhat bleak moonlight, she caught a glimpse of tenderness in her master's eyes. It wasn't intentional, but a natural tenderness, the likes of which she had never seen from him, not in her previous life, nor in this one. Her heart then fell into confusion. Indeed. I've been reborn; what do I want to do after I succeed in cultivation? In my previous life, I cultivated to avenge my clan's extermination. In this life, it seems I'm cultivating simply to kill Master? And after killing Master? What would I do then?

Su Bei did not rush his disciple. He simply propped his chin on his hand, watching her. For the first time, he was truly regarding her as a disciple—not with any ulterior motive, but purely wanting to be a good mentor.

Xiao Ruoching's shoulders trembled lightly. She could feel that the master beside her seemed quite different. And because of this, the resolve in her Dao heart, so firm since her reincarnation, was being gradually eroded by his tenderness. If… if the Master of this life doesn't kill me in the end, wouldn't it be unfair to him if I killed him? And how can I be sure that he will kill me in this life? But as for the Master who killed me in my previous life, who can I even seek revenge against now? My mind is in turmoil; this is a very complex problem.

Xiao Ruoching lifted her head to look at Su Bei, pursed her lips, and declared firmly,

"Your disciple cultivates for the purpose of revenge!"

She had not lied to him. It was just that the target of her revenge had shifted from those who destroyed her clan to the man before her.

Su Bei looked thoughtfully at the disciple in front of him; she appeared somewhat fragile in the moonlight.

"So that's how it is, seeking revenge?"

A charming curve formed on Su Bei's lips. Then, he gently extended a hand and said softly,

"Come, let's make a pact."

Xiao Ruoching, puzzled, looked at Su Bei's outstretched hand. She heard Su Bei's faint words,

"Your teacher has been an incompetent master."

"A rather selfish one, who always likes to weigh gains and losses."

"And a master who doesn't care about the feelings of those around him."

Xiao Ruoching understood what he meant. Her eyes suddenly reddened, her body trembling slightly. She felt as if tears were about to fall.

Then she tentatively raised her small hand. A large hand covered it, much bigger than her own.

Su Bei gently patted Xiao Ruoching's soft, small hand, his eyes shining, and said seriously,

"Such a master, he too wishes to be your mentor."

"He wants to shield this sky in your heart, the one filled with inextinguishable hatred."

The moonlight was cold. They looked at each other, Su Bei smiling tenderly.
