My true self wouldn't abandon me, would he?
She definitely wouldn't compromise.
If she insisted, then Li Ye...
No, I couldn't make things difficult for him.
Xiao Xiaoxian stood quietly in the courtyard, her thoughts in turmoil.
"Tonight... might be the night I die."
Xiao Xiaoxian thought.
Creak!
The palace doors opened, interrupting her thoughts. Xiao Xiaoxian's heart tightened, and she hurriedly looked over.
She had already prepared herself for the worst.
A white boot landed lightly on the ground.
Li Ye came out and gave her a reassuring look. Then he asked the Great Elder to arrange another palace hall for him.
The halls in Jade Tree Palace were all extraordinary. Each had its own formation, whose rippling light shimmered hazily, making the interior glow like a splendid underwater dragon palace and blocking out all sound.
Curious, Xiao Xiaoxian followed Li Ye inside. After the Great Elder closed the door behind them, she couldn't help asking, "What did you say to her?"
Everything seemed to have gone peacefully.
Had her true self decided to spare her?
She could hardly believe it.
"Master has given up on merging with you..."
Li Ye explained everything to Xiao Xiaoxian.
"That's it?"
She looked utterly astonished.
"That's it."
Li Ye smiled.
Xiao Xiaoxian stood there, stunned. Her true self had actually indulged Li Ye this much.
Just because he asked, she had given up on merging with her.
That was the fastest way for her to become an immortal.
"But... you've deceived her again."
Xiao Xiaoxian murmured.
"There was no other way."
Li Ye sighed.
"But sooner or later, she'll find out. What will you do then?"
Xiao Xiaoxian said, "You know my true self's talent. She could very well cultivate the Ten Heavenly Dao Divine Abilities. It's only a matter of time."
