Master and Disciple Sever Ties

True Person Ziwei believed she had done everything she possibly could for Ye Qingyun.

When he was at his lowest, she took him in as her personal disciple and taught him everything she knew.

Ye Qingyun's rapid breakthroughs in his Realm were all thanks to True Person Ziwei's assistance with numerous pills.

Even when Ye Qingyun was imprisoned in death row.

She, a Peak Saint stage expert, did not hesitate to humble herself and beg Qin Anlan for leniency.

But how did Ye Qingyun treat her in return?

Not only did he fail to understand her difficulties, but he also endlessly humiliated True Person Ziwei.

Did he think she was just some woman who would sell herself for benefits, becoming the consort of the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis?

What did he take True Person Ziwei for?

A woman who would sell her body for personal gain?

True Person Ziwei had given everything for Ye Qingyun, and she never expected anything in return.

Yet, Ye Qingyun not only showed no gratitude but constantly lashed out at her with cruel words.

From this, one could see.

Ye Qingyun was cruel and ungrateful, with a narrow mind.

Ye Qingyun's background was tragic, and his early life was filled with suffering.

It was precisely this upbringing that had made his temperament so extreme.

He would stop at nothing to climb higher and gain immense power.

True Person Ziwei's face was filled with nothing but disappointment.

"Qingyun, I still call you Qingyun, and I still consider you my disciple."

"I am determined to take this Heaven-Seizing Fortune Pill."

"If you cannot bear to see it, you are free to leave. I will not stop you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyun became enraged, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Fine.

So in your heart, I, Ye Qingyun, am nothing more than a disposable pawn.

Qin Anlan only needed to offer a mere pill to buy you over.

You're willing to discard years of master-disciple affection for it.

"True Person Ziwei, you will regret this. You will surely regret all that you have done."

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Do not bully a young man in poverty."

Ye Qingyun's eyes widened in fury as he let out a hysterical roar.

As he spoke these words, he noticed that the array formation of the death row cell had been deactivated.

Without a second thought, he stormed out of the death row cell in a fit of rage.

Hearing his words, True Person Ziwei's delicate body trembled with anger.

This Ye Qingyun before her was simply a madman.

No!

He was a rabid dog.

How could she have been so blind before to think Ye Qingyun was a gem waiting to be polished?

To have taken such an ungrateful wretch, a wolf with a dog's heart, as her personal disciple.

"Enough, enough. At least I had the chance to see a person's true colors."

"I'll consider my past actions as having been truly blind."

True Person Ziwei shook her head.

Clearly, she no longer wished to have any connection with Ye Qingyun.

She lowered her head and looked at the Heaven-Seizing Fortune Pill in her hand.

This caused True Person Ziwei to fall into silence once more.

She couldn't help but recall her two encounters with Qin Anlan.

His elegant demeanor, kind nature, and lack of pretension.

These had already earned True Person Ziwei some goodwill.

Coupled with his willingness to give her the Heaven-Seizing Fortune Pill unconditionally.

Even though True Person Ziwei knew Qin Anlan's objective was to recruit her.

She felt no aversion towards Qin Anlan's methods.

Instead, her inner feelings of goodwill only grew stronger.

In just a few short days, Ye Qingyun and True Person Ziwei, a master and disciple who were once inseparable, had already walked down the path of estrangement.

The first to receive the news, besides Qin Anlan, was one other person.

That would be the Left Prime Minister.

The Left Prime Minister's Estate.

"Estranged?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the Left Prime Minister also fell silent.

He raised his head and gazed at the sky.

In the direction of his gaze, the words "Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate" seemed to appear before his eyes.

"Such cunning, such methods. The younger generation truly surpasses the old."

"More ruthless and venomous than your father."

"It seems the road to assisting His Majesty in achieving that grand undertaking will be long and arduous."

While a hint of shock appeared on the Left Prime Minister's usually composed face, a deep sense of apprehension also arose in his heart.

In the past, his apprehension was directed towards the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Now, it was directed towards Qin Anlan, this newcomer who, from the moment he emerged, had displayed such terrifying means and schemes.

His apprehension was for the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Within Qin Anlan's mind, the system's prompt sounded.

"Ding! Due to the host's actions, the relationship between the Child of Destiny, Ye Qingyun, and True Person Ziwei has completely broken. The host has gained 100,000 Villain Points and 400 Destiny Points."

This voice made Qin Anlan overjoyed, and he burst into laughter.

In just a few days, he had gained such a large sum of Villain Points again.

Most importantly, he had plundered 400 Destiny Points from Ye Qingyun.

This also caused Ye Qingyun's luck to diminish once more.

Now, without True Person Ziwei's support, Ye Qingyun could only rely on the remnant soul in the ring and the title of a disciple of Heavenly Firmament Academy.

Through the events of the past few days, Qin Anlan had understood that although the Left Prime Minister wished to protect Ye Qingyun, he would not directly intervene. As long as Qin Anlan did not go too far and could handle the aftermath, the Left Prime Minister would at most watch from the sidelines, curious to see Qin Anlan's capabilities, without any interference.

Qin Anlan was fully prepared. Even if the Left Prime Minister eventually decided to intervene, he would not be afraid.

To be fair, Ye Qingyun, despite his schemes to have both Liu Ruyan and Liu Ruxue, was not an utterly wicked person. At least outwardly, he appeared to hate evil and possess a firm will. Because of his difficult background and suffering since childhood, he had always held onto a sense of justice deep down. It was precisely these external virtues of Ye Qingyun that easily garnered favor from others. True Person Ziwei had taken him as a disciple precisely because of this.

However, Ye Qingyun had a flaw, a fatal one. His actions were too extreme. When faced with power, or when Qin Anlan, who had stolen the woman Ye Qingyun had claimed, appeared, he would completely lose his reason.

The terrifying aspect of Qin Anlan lay in the fact that he seemingly did not instigate any discord, nor did he speak ill of Ye Qingyun to True Person Ziwei. Instead, he magnanimously let go of this enemy who had repeatedly defied him and was weak and pitiable. Even if it was just a scheme, a few trivial matters...

He would infinitely magnify Ye Qingyun's character flaws.

Magnify them until Ye Qingyun completely broke ties with True Person Ziwei.

A faint smile played on Qin Anlan's lips.

He was already handsome, dashing, and debonair.

This smile was as if it could captivate all beings.

Ming Yue, who had just entered the great hall, couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Reporting to the Young Lord, that Demonic Cultivator has been captured by us."

"He has now been locked up in the secret prison, awaiting the Young Lord's judgment."

Ming Yue suddenly thought of something and respectfully cupped her hands in greeting.
