After Feigning Amnesia, My Sworn Enemy Takes Revenge Chapter 67

“Ah!”
Faint screams always echoed through the Chongxiang Sword Sect , but the disciples here didn’t spare them a glance, showing no concern, as if they were completely used to it.
Except for Huo Xing, a newly admitted outer disciple.
Ever since Baili Xianrong became the target of public criticism, the Chongxiang Sword Sect ‘s status had plummeted. Now, they had loosened admission requirements, allowing poor families from remote areas like hers to join the sect and cultivate.
She had heard many rumors but had seen very little in reality.
No matter how she asked the senior sisters, everyone just shook their heads silently, followed by sighs.
Until that day, a person with a head full of white hair fell in front of her, blocking her path to the training grounds.
“H-help, help…”
That person tremblingly stretched out a hand towards her, her head tilted, and she fell without a sound.
Huo Xing was startled and quickly took her back to her disciple quarters. Luckily, her roommates had all gone to cultivate, so there was space to help the girl onto the bed.
She checked her spiritual energy; the girl was just asleep, not unconscious.
The girl’s silver hair was scattered. She looked about fifteen or sixteen. Her sleeping posture was relaxed, showing no hidden thoughts or schemes, and she didn’t look like someone who had been chased here.
Under the strict management of Sect Leader Yun, would someone still want to harm such a girl?
Huo Xing watched over her for half a day, having nothing much to do. She wondered whether to tell the senior sisters, or maybe the sect leader.
While she was still hesitating, the girl seemed to sense danger. She suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed Huo Xing’s wrist, and stopped her actions: “Water…”
She opened her mouth, asking for water.
Huo Xing nodded, went to get her a cup of tea, and watched her gulp it down.
The girl let out a long breath, her expression wary as she stared at the doorway.
Huo Xing got up and closed the door. Only then did the girl relax her gaze.
“You, are you a disciple of the Chongxiang Sword Sect ?” she asked curiously. “Who wants to harm you? Wait for me, I’ll go tell the sect leader right away and have her come…”
“Don’t go!”
This time the girl firmly grabbed her shoulder, pulling her towards the edge of the bed and shaking her head desperately.
“Please, don’t go, don’t go…”
Huo Xing was confused, but on second thought, she felt that the person opposite might have some hidden difficulties that were hard to explain, so she quickly agreed: “Okay, I won’t go.”
Dusk was approaching, and the outer disciples would soon finish cultivating and return. The two didn’t talk much, only exchanging names.
The white-haired girl was named Wu Bei. Her name was strange. Huo Xing knew very little about the cultivation world, only general rumors, and didn’t understand the past events, so naturally, she hadn’t heard this name.
Wu Bei placed her hope in her, full of expectation, holding her hand: “Please, older sister, tell me how I can get down the mountain. There are too many restrictions on this Chongxiang Mountain, I can’t find the way!”
“I don’t know either, I’m new…”
Huo Xing was very troubled. The sect leader had placed restrictions all over the mountain. She could only go down when it was necessary, and only with a senior sister accompanying her.
Wu Bei’s eyes instantly lost their light. Her eyelashes were long, and her small face twisted in distress, looking utterly pitiful.
“Otherwise…” Her eyes darted, and she thought of another way. “Otherwise, could you help me go down the mountain once? Help me take this paper kite with wings down the mountain. It will find its destination and fly there itself.”
This girl was much younger than her, and Huo Xing couldn’t bear to see her so sad.
Helping innocent and pitiful people—that’s what cultivators should do.
She accepted the paper kite with wings and promised to do it.
Before the disciples from her shared room came back, she had Wu Bei hide in the backyard to avoid being seen by others.
Early the next morning, she skipped cultivation again and begged an inner disciple senior sister to take her down the mountain, saying she wanted to buy pastries.
After taking a winding path down the mountain, she secretly released the paper kite on the street.
The senior sister accompanying her didn’t notice her actions. Her gaze was a bit distracted, seemingly deep in thought.
“Huo Xing, have you seen…”
The senior sister stopped halfway through her question, waved her hand: “Never mind.”
Huo Xing returned to the Chongxiang Sword Sect and excitedly went back to tell the bored Wu Bei, who was lying on her bed: “I sent the paper kite! It flew away in an instant. I didn’t expect you to be so much stronger in spiritual energy than me, even though you look young. I haven’t even learned communication spells yet.”
Hearing the praise, that person became proud: “Of course! I’m… I’m a genius.”
Seeing her hesitant expression, Huo Xing tilted her head.
This paper kite sends messages quickly. According to Wu Bei, within less than a day, that person would be able to arrive at the Chongxiang Sword Sect in time to rescue her.
Hearing this, her admiration was evident.
Would she be able to do this in the future too?
After several days of not going to cultivation, she finally attracted the senior sisters’ attention. Huo Xing was on her way back to her quarters, secretly taking food from the dining hall, when a hand landed on her shoulder.
“You are… called Huo Xing, right?”
“Yes, Senior Sister Feng…” Huo Xing sagged her face. Just her luck to be caught by Inner Disciple Senior Sister Feng Ruiyan. She was known for being fierce, and now she couldn’t escape the punishment of copying cultivation manuals.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ruiyan just smiled and patted her: “Which courtyard do you live in? Shall I take you back?”
There was no room to refuse.
As soon as Wu Bei heard movement outside, she immediately rolled off the bed and hid under it. This was what she was best at.
Seeing it was Huo Xing, she let out a sigh of relief. But the person following behind made her eyes widen again.
Feng Ruiyan looked around the room, raised an eyebrow, and sat down on a chair by herself.
Huo Xing stood hesitantly beside her, wanting to explain: “Senior Sister Feng, I didn’t intentionally skip cultivation, I just, just felt a bit…”
“No need to say more,” Feng Ruiyan interrupted her, her smile deepening. “I’ve heard from others that you usually cultivate diligently, so I’m sure this wasn’t intentional. Remember to rest more and take care of yourself.”
As she spoke, she even pointed out a few common mistakes in the cultivation manual, her demeanor gentle like water, unlike her usual fierce appearance.
Just before leaving, she turned her gaze and glanced at the room.
“Senior Sister Feng is amazing…” Huo Xing, who had just been daydreaming with her face in her hands, was pulled out of her infatuation when Wu Bei scrambled out from under the bed and tugged at her, staring at her.
“What do I do, what do I do, Huo Xing, what do I do? That person must be looking for me!”
She was flustered, her eyes darting around.
“How long has it been? Has it been a day? Why isn’t Yue Jin here yet? I’m dead! I, I have to leave now!”
“Don’t panic, don’t panic,” Huo Xing was dizzy from being shaken by her, trying to get her to stop moving wildly. “Who’s looking for you? That’s Senior Sister Feng, she’s not a bad person, don’t worry, she won’t hurt you.”
“That’s why I’m scared of Feng Ruiyan!”
Wu Bei’s face crumpled: “Feng Ruiyan being here means that person…”
“Which person?”
As soon as Huo Xing spoke, the door opened by itself without any wind, creating a gap that allowed the light spilling from below to stretch further and further across the floor.
She looked at Wu Bei’s desperate face and slowly turned her head back in surprise.
Standing behind her was their current Sect Leader of the Chongxiang Sword Sect – Yun Lingyue.
This person was ten times fiercer than Senior Sister Feng!
Why did she happen to come here? Was she also here to catch her for not cultivating?
“So bold.”
Yun Lingyue walked inside. Huo Xing was so scared she closed her eyes, but the expected punishment didn’t fall. Instead, Wu Bei’s frantic grip on her loosened.
She opened her eyes, and what she saw was her own sect leader, pulling Wu Bei close to her side, a faint smile hanging on her lips.
“How bold you are, Xiao Bei. You’ve been away from my side for three days this time.”
Huo Xing only felt someone gently pull her, drawing her backward.
A splash of dazzling red caught her eye.
The owner of the red clothes burst into laughter, and beside her was a woman in green clothes. The two were standing very close. Huo Xing was so mesmerized by the woman in red that the woman gave her a warning look.
“It can’t be helped, Wu Bei, you know, Fu Lingyi can also track the Paper kite messenger.”
The woman in red couldn’t stop laughing and shook her head: “Why don’t you just be honest? Pulling stunts like this every few days, doesn’t it force the two of us to come to the Chongxiang Sword Sect for free food and drinks?”
The woman in green tugged her hand: “Call me A-Ling.”
“Yue Jin, you’re unreliable!” Wu Bei yelled loudly. She met Yun Lingyue’s eyes, and then fell silent, not daring to say more.
The woman in red, called Yue Jin, shrugged.
Yue Jin…
Huo Xing’s eyes were full of stars. Could she be that Yue Jin, the Palace Master of the Qingyuan Palace? Then the person beside her, wouldn’t that be her Dao companion, the former Head Senior Sister of the Chongxiang Sword Sect …
“Xiao Bei, am I not good to you?”
Huo Xing watched the sect leader brush away Wu Bei’s white hair and rub her cheek: “Tell me, am I not?”
“Good, too good…” She wanted to cry but had no tears.
“I’ll give you whatever you want, I’ll accompany you in whatever you want to do. What’s more, didn’t you say back then that you wanted me to reward you?”
With others present, Wu Bei’s face flushed red.
“I, I did say that, but I don’t want, don’t want it all the time…”
“Oh,” Yun Lingyue leaned close to her ear, lightly bit her earlobe, “All the time… what?”
Fu Lingyi covered Yue Jin’s eyes, who was happily watching.
“All the time… all…”
Wu Bei couldn’t speak. She lowered her head, almost burying it in Yun Lingyue’s embrace.
Huo Xing watched, dumbfounded.
“Let’s go back. If you sneak out again, I’ll punish you by forbidding you from leaving the mountain for three months.”
The Sect Leader of the Chongxiang Sword Sect thus dragged Wu Bei away. Before leaving, she still looked at Yue Jin with a pleading face.
Yue Jin, holding the person next to her, waved at Wu Bei: “Next time I’ll definitely save you. This time, just forget it. A-Ling is making me food today.”
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Huo Xing, a smile filling her face: “You’re the disciple Wu Bei mentioned, what’s your name?”
Facing that overly enchanting face, Huo Xing instantly stammered, not knowing what to say: “Huo, Huo Xing.”
“Nice name, nice name. How old are you…”
Yue Jin was halfway through her question when Fu Lingyi beside her grabbed her collar and dragged her outside.
The disciple quarters, which had been lively just now, became deserted again.
Huo Xing blinked and heard that scream from the distance.
Now she finally knew where those screams came from.
