The Cub I Raised Turned Out to Be a Reborn Boss (GL) - Chapter 2

Li Wan’s eyes were red. She had not expected Yan Ming and Yan Zi to use so many methods to provoke her, only to force her onto the martial stage in the end. She had even dragged Song Xi into it. She did not have much ability, but she did not want to implicate Song Xi.

She forced herself to suppress the taste of blood in her mouth and said in a tearful voice, “Xixi, later, I’ll hold them back. You run first. They wouldn’t chase you down inside the sect…”

“Shut up.”

Song Xi’s tone was cold. The killing intent in her voice frightened Li Wan for an instant. It felt as though Song Xi was a little different from the Song Xi she usually knew.

Song Xi could not listen to Li Wan at all. What a joke. She was the dignified Netherworld King. The Netherworld King did not need others to save her. She was the only one who saved others. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be if word got out?

“You only know how to bully the weak. So this is what senior brothers and sisters of Yuqing Sect are like.”

The corner of Song Xi’s mouth lifted into a faint cold smile, and her gaze carried a fierce killing intent as she charged forward.

Even though she had not cultivated the secret manual yet, some secret techniques were still stored in her mind. If they truly pushed her into a corner, even if she had to expose those techniques and suffer serious injuries, she would drag these two people before her down to hell.

Yan Ming had lost face just now, so he definitely had to win it back now.

“Ah Zi, useless trash isn’t suited to stay in Yuqing Sect. Why don’t we just cripple her foundation and expel her?”

“All right.”

Yan Zi smiled faintly, her face pure and innocent, but the sword in her hand drew a purple sword-shadow as it shot straight toward Li Wan.

In that flash of lightning, both sides actually attacked at the same time, and the audience below erupted into an uproar. Although Yan Zi’s cultivation was higher, somehow, the little girl opposite her seemed to have an even stronger aura.

Crack—

A faint shattering sound suddenly rang out on the martial stage. Everyone could not help turning their gazes over. The sword that had carried such mighty force had actually stopped in midair, its blade covered in a dense layer of spiderweb-like cracks.

Everyone could not help sucking in a breath of cold air. Yan Zi’s sword was a spiritual weapon, yet it had shattered just like that…

Standing in front of the sword was a woman with cold, elegant features. Her lashes lifted slightly. She reached out and swatted Yan Zi’s spiritual sword away. Her voice was so cold it seemed capable of condensing into ice.

“Yan Zi, did Master teach you those skills so you could bully your junior brothers and sisters?”

“It’s Senior Sister Jiang.”

“Why would Senior Sister Jiang help those two little girls?”

Everyone could not help whispering among themselves. Everyone knew that the Yan siblings and Jiang Yixue could barely be considered fellow disciples from the same master’s lineage. Yet now, she was clearly protecting those two little girls. The situation before them seemed to have suddenly changed drastically, leaving the surrounding disciples somewhat confused.

“My sword!”

Seeing that her spiritual sword had actually been destroyed, Yan Zi could not help feeling angry. But the person opposite her was Jiang Yixue, so she could only stamp her foot and lower her head.

Yan Ming also froze for a moment. “Senior Sister, wasn’t it you who…”

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Jiang Yixue’s back. He absolutely could not say that in front of Song Xi.

Anxious and swift, she interrupted Yan Ming with a cold expression. “I only stopped watching you for a short while, and you two went outside and did something as disgraceful as bullying the young with your age and strength. Both of you, go to the Ice Prison and reflect for three months. After you return, take the initiative to find Master and admit your mistake.”

“This…”

Yan Ming’s eyes widened.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Yixue had not actually ordered them to do anything. She had merely shown dissatisfaction in front of them about Song Xi becoming Han Yansu’s disciple.

They had taken the initiative to create today’s scene in order to curry favor with Jiang Yixue.

Could it be that they had misunderstood her meaning?

Spiritual power could not be used in the Ice Prison. One had to rely entirely on resisting the severe cold, while also being careful of the astral winds. Staying there for three months would probably peel off a layer of skin.

But Jiang Yixue was deeply favored by Xue Qiancheng, and the disciples under Xue Qiancheng were all managed by Jiang Yixue. Yan Ming did not dare disobey her. In the end, he bowed and said, “Yes. We understand.”

Song Xi lowered her head, but her hands were clenched tightly into fists, her fingertips digging painfully into her palms.

A voice kept screaming in her mind: Kill her. Kill her. Kill the woman in front of you…

She did not need anyone to save her, especially not this woman in front of her.

In her previous life, Song Xi’s fall into the demonic path had a great deal to do with Jiang Yixue.

Jiang Yixue had always hated Song Xi. Within the sect, she had repeatedly framed her, causing her to almost be expelled from Yuqing Sect several times. In the end, it was also Jiang Yixue who publicly revealed to the world that Song Xi possessed a divine bloodline, causing her to fall into endless pursuit and slaughter.

Thinking of the past, the corner of Song Xi’s mouth lifted in a cold smile. In the end, she really had to thank Jiang Yixue. If she had not fallen into the demonic path, she would not have received Mo Daozi’s inheritance, nor would she have been able to become one of the top experts in the Three Realms within just a few short years.

A thousand years of flames burning her soul. Every time she thought of that unbearable pain where she could neither live nor die, Song Xi felt the faint taste of blood rise in her throat. Since heaven had favored her and allowed her to start over, all those people would have to pay the price.

Seeing that the tragedy from the plot had not happened, Jiang Yixue let out a breath of relief and slowly said, “It’s good that I arrived in time. Junior Sister Song, are you injured?”

Was she trying to emphasize her own kindness?

Song Xi pressed her lips together and said lightly, “I don’t need anyone’s pity.”

She was clearly a weak and tiny-looking girl, yet her face was full of stubbornness, refusing to yield.

Although the little girl before her looked disheveled, one could still tell that she was tender-skinned, fair, and delicate. Even with blood and dirt staining her little face, her exquisite appearance was not diminished.

Although she was still very young, she was already a breathtaking little beauty.

Jiang Yixue instantly melted.

Was this the happiness of breaking through dimensions and seeing a paper person with her own eyes?

A three-dimensional paper person was actually even prettier than the 2D model!

Clearly sensing Song Xi’s displeasure, Jiang Yixue quickly understood. This girl had a proud and stubborn temperament.

So she hurriedly changed her words. “Junior Sister Song misunderstood. I didn’t mean to pity you. Yan Zi and Yan Ming are disciples of Wanxue Peak to begin with. Since they acted improperly, I naturally had to hurry over and stop them, lest they cause a major disaster.”

Still just as hypocritical…

Song Xi could not help feeling disgusted in her heart, but she still suppressed the resentment in her eyes. With her current cultivation, even if she used all her strength, she could not injure Jiang Yixue. She could only plan slowly.

“If Senior Sister has nothing else, we’ll go back first.”

“Don’t be in such a hurry…”

Jiang Yixue felt a little reluctant. This was her favorite doll, and she had barely even looked at her before she was about to leave.

Song Xi frowned and asked, “Does Senior Sister have any other instructions?”

Realizing that she seemed to have lost her composure a little, Jiang Yixue coughed softly twice and added, “Yan Zi and Yan Ming are my junior brother and sister. Now that they’ve injured you, I’m also responsible. I know Martial Uncle Han had urgent matters and left the sect after accepting a disciple. You definitely don’t have any spiritual medicine right now either. Why not take your friend to my place first to treat her injuries?”

Song Xi took a step back, raising her guard. “No need.”

Seeing Song Xi shrink back as if she were afraid, Jiang Yixue instantly felt helpless. Song Xi’s wariness was too strong.

In the original story background, Song Xi was a pitiful little thing with no one to love her and no one to care for her.

When she was young, she lived with her father in a small mountain village. But by chance, the demon beast clan, the Heaven-Swallowing Pythons, discovered the divine bloodline in her body. In order to obtain the divine bloodline, the Heaven-Swallowing Python clan directly slaughtered the entire village.

Fortunately, she happened to encounter Yuqing Sect disciples who were out gaining experience at the time. She narrowly survived and was brought back to Yuqing Sect.

When she entered Yuqing Sect, she was only eight years old. Without the protection of relatives, teachers, or elders, her life was extremely difficult. Later, Han Yansu discovered the divine bloodline in her body and accepted her as his personal disciple, but that only intensified the rejection and jealousy of those around her.

Seeing Song Xi so full of vigilance toward her, Jiang Yixue’s first reaction was actually heartache. Just how much had she experienced to become so guarded at such a young age?

Jiang Yixue’s tone softened considerably, and her gentle gaze fell on Song Xi.

“You don’t need to be afraid. My master and Martial Uncle Han are fellow disciples. Since Martial Uncle Han is not in the sect recently, our Wanxue Peak naturally has to take extra care of you. Besides, after becoming his disciple, you still haven’t gone to meet my master. She also wants to see you.”

Upholding the principle that she absolutely could not frighten the little child, Jiang Yixue made her tone as gentle as possible.

There was no way she could let Song Xi return to Yanshan alone right now. Who knew how many people in the sect were jealous of Song Xi? If she simply let the two of them leave like this, there would definitely be others coming to make things difficult for them later.

When Song Xi heard this, she could not help frowning slightly and asked, “Is Senior Sister here today to summon me on behalf of the Sect Master?”

This little girl was very stubborn. She had just been made things difficult for by the disciples of Wanxue Peak, so she definitely would not easily lower her guard.

Jiang Yixue hesitated for a moment and said, “You can understand it that way.”

No matter what, she had to bring her back first and treat her injuries. Especially Li Wan’s injuries. If they dragged it out any longer, she might really be beyond saving.

This matter was bound to become a thorn that could not be pulled out from between Jiang Yixue and Song Xi. Jiang Yixue would not tolerate this happening again.

“All right. I will follow Senior Sister to meet the Sect Master.”

A trace of cold mockery flashed through Song Xi’s lowered eyes.

No wonder this Jiang Yixue had come to save her. So it turned out that Xue Qiancheng wanted to see her.

In her previous life, when she had been made things difficult for by the disciples of the sect in every possible way, she had not known that the person directing things from behind the scenes was Jiang Yixue.

So for a time, she had actually had a very good impression of this senior sister. Jiang Yixue had extremely high talent, and although she treated her junior brothers and sisters distantly, she was not cold. She was like a clear wind blowing through the mountains. One could not see or touch her, yet she somehow made people develop a favorable impression.

But later, when Song Xi’s strength improved and she killed those who had bullied her one by one, those people finally told the truth. Everything she had experienced in Yuqing Sect had Jiang Yixue’s shadow behind it.

Since the Sect Master had summoned her, Song Xi had no choice but to go. Otherwise, it would be a serious crime of violating sect rules.

In her previous life, she had relied on herself alone to step onto the peak of power. In this life, she also had abundant experience. She no longer cared about so-called sect rules at all. But when one was under someone else’s roof, one had no choice but to lower one’s head. Her cultivation was still shallow now, so she had to act according to Yuqing Sect’s rules.

Song Xi bowed slightly and said, “Then I will have to trouble Senior Sister Jiang to lead the way.”

Right, as if suddenly remembering something, Jiang Yixue took out a jade talisman from her robe and handed it to Song Xi.

“This is a jade talisman infused with my spiritual power. If Junior Sister encounters any difficulty next time, just crush the jade talisman and I’ll be able to sense it…”

This way, she could prevent any random nobodies from using her name to bully Song Xi again. Although this kind of jade talisman was very difficult to refine, Jiang Yixue still felt this was safer.

In front of everyone, Jiang Yixue did not give Song Xi any chance to refuse.

Song Xi held the jade talisman and froze for a moment. Then, while Jiang Yixue was not paying attention, she casually stuffed it into Li Wan’s hand.

“I don’t want it. You take it.”

Li Wan froze.

This was a jade talisman given by Jiang Yixue. Jiang Yixue was the Sect Master’s personal disciple.

How could Song Xi throw it away like garbage? And with an expression that clearly said, I despise it. It’s dirty.
