"It's all your fault, I didn't get tickets to Fairy Chang Ye's concert. I want compensation for emotional damages."
"It's clearly your own problem. The Senior selling tickets said they were sold out a day ago. Even if you went to buy them this afternoon, you wouldn't have gotten any, right?"
"I don't care! I should have been sitting in the auditorium, watching Fairy Chang Ye dance gracefully on stage, listening to her heavenly singing. Instead, now I can only sit here eating flatbread with you, Stupid Girl!" As if in revenge, Qian Lin took a fierce bite of the fragrant flatbread, mumbling indistinctly.
Ye Qiuhan looked at Qian Lin in shock, seemingly incredulous at the shamelessness of the girl beside her.
"What are you looking at? I even bought this flatbread for you!"
Hearing this, Ye Qiuhan's expression grew even more shocked. How dare Qian Lin bring that up? Weren't the Spirit Stones for this flatbread hers in the first place?
One flatbread cost two Spirit Stones, so two cost four. Qian Lin even made a net profit of one Spirit Stone, so why was she acting aggrieved?
"Awoo, I can't believe you still have an appetite," Ye Qiuhan mumbled, taking a bite of her flatbread.
She had just witnessed such a terrifying sight at noon, yet now she could still eat so happily.
Ye Qiuhan had only caught a fleeting glimpse, but she felt that terrifying scene was deeply imprinted in her mind. Even though Qian Lin's movements were very fast at the time, it didn't prevent Ye Qiuhan from seeing something.
Just thinking about the scene she saw at noon made Ye Qiuhan feel a wave of nausea, making the flatbread in her hand seem less appetizing.
"It's just a dead person, I'm the Demon Path Supreme, I've seen plenty of such scenes," Qian Lin said disdainfully. She could even comment on the poor Senior Sister's death pose. "Get used to it early, this world isn't that peaceful and safe. Little fellows like you who scream at the sight of a dead person won't live long."
"You're lying to me again, hmph."
"Think what you want. Anyway, you'll definitely see such scenes again in the future. There are countless insidious methods in this world, and what we saw at noon was just one of them." Stuffing the last small piece of flatbread into her mouth, Qian Lin clapped her hands and stood up from the chair.
Upon seeing the Senior Sister's corpse, Qian Lin had a rough guess. This should be some kind of insidious Demonic Path ritual. Ordinary murder wouldn't involve disemboweling the victim and placing their internal organs on the ground.
As for what ritual it was, she wasn't very clear. There were too many insidious Demonic Path rituals, and even as the Demon Path Supreme, she couldn't know all of them. Not to mention, she, the Demon Path Supreme, had basically put all her skill points into combat power, and knew very little about such methods.
It was truly headache-inducing to think about. She, the Demon Path Supreme, had actually Cultivated using perfectly normal Cultivation methods. During that time, she hadn't done a single thing a Demonic Path practitioner should do, like sacrificing living beings or stealing others' cultivation base. She hadn't done any of it.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but mainly she didn't have the time. Who knew why, but every time she wanted to stir up trouble, the Righteous Path would discover her, leading to a new round of pursuit.
Well, she couldn't do bad things, so she ran.
Running and counter-killing, her reputation grew, and she encountered more pursuers, creating a vicious cycle.
"You said you're the future Demon Path Supreme, so you should know what will happen in the future, right?" Seeing Qian Lin stand up, Ye Qiuhan quickly stood up too. "You definitely know who the murderer is!"
Logically, that should be the case. Qian Lin scratched her head, "But I really don't know."
In her past life at this time, she was still at home being a playboy. And the Qian Family was located in the bitter, cold north, making communication with the outside world inconvenient. Honghu Academy was in Central State, so the news couldn't possibly reach the Qian Family in the north.
So Qian Lin was truly unaware of this incident. However, she could confirm one thing: this murder case ultimately didn't cause any major impact. Otherwise, she should have heard some snippets about it in her past life.
But she had never heard of this matter, which could only mean its impact was very small, and it was likely resolved quickly by the Academy.
"Don't worry, what does it have to do with us? The murderer already made a move today; at most, they'll wait a few days before striking again," Qian Lin stretched lazily, saying with a languid expression, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the dorm. I haven't completed today's Cultivation goal yet."
"Wait a moment, um, can you walk me back?" Seeing Qian Lin about to leave, Ye Qiuhan quickly grabbed her sleeve, pointing at the already dark sky outside with a frightened expression, "I... I'm a little scared."
"I'm a little scared, Stupid Girl. Your psychological fortitude seems a bit too weak," Qian Lin sighed helplessly. "Forget it, I'll see this through. If I hadn't tricked this Little Girl out of her Spirit Stones, she wouldn't have seen such a gruesome sight."
If she hadn't seen that gruesome sight, she wouldn't be so scared.
Taking her back is also on the way, not too much trouble.
"Then let's go. Where's your dorm?" Qian Lin nodded and took Ye Qiuhan's wrist.
Ye Qiuhan stated her dorm's location. As Qian Lin expected, it wasn't far from where she lived, just a few minutes' walk.
Honghu Academy was quite lively at night. From time to time, they would encounter fellow Disciples walking side by side, chatting and laughing, which slightly diluted the unease in Ye Qiuhan's heart.
Once her fear was diluted, her attention focused on the white-haired girl walking ahead. This white-haired girl, who was full of wild talk, was actually very cute. Her white hair, paired with her clear, gem-like light blue eyes, gave her a very fresh feeling.
Her petite figure and energetic back made people involuntarily feel good about such a girl.
She didn't look like a Demon Path Supreme at all.
If someone else had said they were the future Demon Path Supreme, Ye Qiuhan might instinctively think they were lying, but when this white-haired girl said it, there was a strange persuasiveness.
Ye Qiuhan didn't know why this was, but her intuition told her that everything Qian Lin said was true, and all those words about her past life were also true.
It was as if a voice whispered in her ear, "Yes, this black-haired loli is the future Demon Path Supreme, and you are the Yaochi Saintess who will kill the Demon Path Supreme."
"Saintess... I probably believe what Qian Lin says because of this, after all, my greatest wish is to become the Saintess of Yaochi," Ye Qiuhan thought to herself.
