Ma Xiaotao felt a little creeped out by these words.

Wrong is wrong, right is right, only believe your own heart…

If you really wanted to translate it literally, the meaning would probably be: I believe I haven't made a mistake, therefore I haven't made a mistake.

The Resident Elders punished me, and I didn't argue, but in reality, I've already classified the Resident Elders as birds of a feather, all Evil Spirit Masters.

This was the first time Ma Xiaotao had heard someone speak so directly from the heart.

No wonder the Soul Masters with the Angel Martial Soul never let an Evil Spirit Master go. Is this because they can't possibly go against their Martial Soul's heart and vows?

However, after understanding the situation, Ma Xiaotao also believed Xu Sanshi had made a mistake.

He deserved to be punished.

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw Qian Chaoyun's serious expression.

Stubborn, rigid, arrogant.

Now look at him, confined to the Inner Court, unable to show off in the Outer Court.

Qian Chaoyun frowned, confused, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Ma Xiaotao bared her teeth and smiled, saying softly, "If I become an Evil Spirit Master one day, but I haven't harmed anyone, would you take your sword and kill me?"

Qian Chaoyun frowned, confused.

What was Ma Xiaotao thinking, to ask such a question? Had the Evil Fire burned her brain today?

Forget it, I won't answer.

This would hurt a girl's feelings a little.

However, seeing that he didn't speak, Ma Xiaotao nudged him and shouted, "Hurry up and say it! Chaoyun, say it quickly."

"Isn't that a ridiculous question? Evil Spirit Masters shouldn't live, should I die?"

Qian Chaoyun answered seriously.

This woman insisted on hearing the truth, and he couldn't go against his own heart and the system.

He didn't understand why women liked to ask such fatal questions.

Like, if my mom and you fell into the water, who would you save?

Does that even need thinking about? My mom gave birth to me and raised me, of course, I'd save my mom. Mom is never a multiple-choice question.

The smile on Ma Xiaotao's face froze, and she fell silent.

She got the answer, but it wasn't what she wanted to hear. She felt a little disappointed for some reason.

But if Qian Chaoyun had really lied to her, Ma Xiaotao would have been very happy at the time. Afterward, she would have thought Qian Chaoyun was hypocritical, just like Xu Sanshi, who was full of schemes.

Angel Soul Masters never went against their Martial Soul vows.

Ma Xiaotao thought for a moment and continued, "Then, will you regret killing me? You stepped on so many Evil Spirit Masters to become a Titled Douluo, will you still be humble?"

Qian Chaoyun thought for a moment, looked at the Angel Holy Sword in his hand, and said, "Humble? Why should I be humble? What is humility? I was humble when I was weak. After truly becoming a top expert, how can I be humble?"

"Why should I, a Titled Douluo, bow down to a weak ant?"

"As for whether I regret killing Evil Spirit Masters, I never regret it, because the Evil Spirit Masters who died by my sword were all deserving of death. Therefore, I will not be backlashed by resentment."

After hearing this, Ma Xiaotao was completely out of ideas.

This guy was truly a block of stone.

If it weren't for her taking care of him for the past year, Qian Chaoyun would have probably already pointed his holy sword at her neck.

Dai Yueheng was a good example. He showed compassion to a female Evil Spirit Master, and in the end, he fought with Qian Chaoyun.

Besides Senior Disciple Sister Zhang Lexuan, whose words carried weight, others were really useless.

However, she felt that Qian Chaoyun's personal charm was off the charts. If she truly became an Evil Spirit Master one day, dying by his sword might not be a bad thing.

Qian Chaoyun turned to look at Ma Xiaotao and sighed, "You women are strange, you know?"

"Why do you find it strange?"

Ma Xiaotao tilted her head and asked, a little confused.

Qian Chaoyun said lightly, "You know the outcome, yet you still ask. It's like me asking you, can you control your Evil Fire?"

"Of course, I c-can't control it."

Ma Xiaotao wanted to say she could control it, but on second thought, she didn't say it.

If the Evil Fire truly took over, she would lose her mind. She couldn't deceive herself about this, nor could she deceive others.

Qian Chaoyun looked at Ma Xiaotao's bewildered expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "So, your question just now was pointless. You ask an Angel Soul Master if they would let an Evil Spirit Master go, isn't that like peeing through your pants to get to your balls?"

"You..."

Ma Xiaotao's mouth felt as if it had been stuffed, and she couldn't refute him. She directly punched Qian Chaoyun.

Then, she said, "Actually, sometimes I don't know why I ask you these questions. Maybe even I don't know when I became like this.

On the day of my Martial Soul awakening, my parents discovered the existence of the Evil Fire and sent me to Shrek Academy. Later, I relied on my own efforts to become a Personal Disciple of Dean Yan Shaozhe of the Martial Soul Department."

In the academy, I've always been treated as an outsider by the inner court disciples. I have to suppress my cultivation because I advance too quickly, otherwise, I'll lose my mind.

Several times, I attacked inner court disciples, and each time I asked myself why I did it.

But I also want to be like them, a normal Soul Master, and then I met you. Later, I realized that there aren't many people in my world, so I can only talk to you to court death..."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but lower her head, realizing her mistake.

Qian Chaoyun stood up and said with his back to Ma Xiaotao, "Don't worry, I will help you remove the Evil Fire, but if you ever become an Evil Spirit Master, I will never show mercy."

After speaking, he turned and returned to his room.

Ma Xiaotao looked at his retreating figure, unsure whether to be happy or sad for a moment.

Qian Chaoyun's personality is really a bit strange.

Is this considered a personality that clearly distinguishes good from evil?

After thinking for a long time, Ma Xiaotao couldn't figure it out and turned to leave.

Anyway, Qian Chaoyun will be confined to the Inner Court for three days, so she might as well bother him a bit more.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao suddenly remembered something important and said to the person inside the house, "Senior Sister Le Xuan asked me to tell you that you don't need to participate in the freshman competition. The inner court assessment has been released, and you might have to go execute your inner court assessment mission before the freshman competition begins."

"I know."

Qian Chaoyun sat in the room, his tone indifferent.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao turned and left Qian Chaoyun's cabin, transforming into her phoenix form.

Only after she left did Qian Chaoyun breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't expect the inner court assessment mission to be released so quickly.

This Outer Court is indeed boring. It's more enjoyable to kill Evil Spirit Masters. After completing this mission, he will be close to advancing to the Sixth Ring. Then, he can go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his Sixth Spirit Ring.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in his Sea of Consciousness jumped up and scolded, "Kid, you need to be more careful with your words in the future. I almost died with you."

Qian Chaoyun rolled his eyes and looked at the Big Bug, saying, "What are you afraid of? I'm not scared. Do you really think my old mentor from the Holy Spirit Cult is just for show? I have a background too."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm felt a lingering fear and then said, "Do you know how terrifying your words were just now? You have too deep-seated prejudices and too much hostility. If you had said that to the Beast God Di Tian, you might have been classified as a potential threat and turned into fertilizer on the spot."

"I know."

Qian Chaoyun responded impatiently, not wanting to deal with this timid Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Being afraid of death, will being afraid of death allow one to survive?

If he were truly full of lies, Mu En would be the first to not let him off.

Dare to speak and dare to act, this is his style of conduct.

After thinking for a while, Qian Chaoyun sat down cross-legged, planning to use cultivation to get through the three days of seclusion. It would be a good time to pick up his inner court mission.
