Tian Liuli had cultivated in her previous life until the point of Ascension, and even during her time as a supreme being in the Immortal Realm, she had never encountered an Artifact Spirit appearing in such a manner.

Liu Ruoxue felt the same.

After Xu Yuan told her that the object was very likely an Artifact Spirit, she had also secretly tried to awaken it, but alas, to no avail.

"I indeed have the ability to awaken this Artifact Spirit, but how do I know … whether you will keep your promise?"

Lin Qingque caressed the Artifact Spirit in her hand, her lively eyes filled with reluctance.

In the depths of her heart, she felt as if this object was born specifically for her, just as she was fated for her senior brother.

But …

Would the other party really keep their promise?

The first thing she did was to distance herself from him, presumably so he couldn\'t read her Heart Voice, right?

"So, you don\'t want to, do you?"

Liu Ruoxue narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice calm and indifferent as if she had anticipated this response.

"It\'s not that I don\'t want to."

Lin Qingque\'s gaze fell upon Xu Yuan, who she was holding in her hand, and she smiled slightly, saying, "Come down a bit, let me know what you\'re thinking."

"That\'s too close."

Liu Ruoxue shook her head: "I still remember the lesson from what just happened very clearly."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Tian Liuli.

"Then … if she steps back a bit, would that be acceptable?"

Lin Qingque looked towards Tian Liuli.

Tian Liuli\'s brows furrowed slightly, but then she stepped back a little.

"No need to deceive me anymore, just make a decision quickly,"

Liu Ruoxue said expressionlessly, "Compared to the previous conditions, mine is already much more lenient, isn\'t it?"

" … "

Their words left both parties slightly silent.

Seeing the hesitation in Lin Qingque\'s eyes, this time it was Tian Liuli who urged her.

"Make a decision quickly."

Her eyes held a trace of a smile.

"Or are you saying that for Mr. Xu, you can\'t even make this kind of sacrifice?"

Tian Liuli\'s words made Lin Qingque pause for a moment, then her eyes turned cold.

"How could that be? Do you really think … I could be that kind of person?"

"Hard to say,"

Tian Liuli chuckled lightly: "After all, when you hit me just now, you didn\'t hesitate, quite decisive indeed. And now, just for a small Artifact Spirit, you\'ve hesitated for so long."

"Hmph."

Lin Qingque let out a cold snort, fully aware that her current state was clearly noticed by the other.

"I understand."

She took a deep breath. Although she knew the object in her hand suited her very well, for the sake of her senior brother, she still chose to make the painful sacrifice.

No sooner had she finished speaking than the Jade Pendant in her hand suddenly shone brightly, transforming into a small butterfly in the blink of an eye.

"This is the Artifact Spirit?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tian Liuli focused her gaze, immediately understanding why Lin Qingque was so reluctant.

This was an Illusionary Path Treasure, which, if combined with her Dao of the Heart, could perhaps instantly elevate her strength to a level nearly on par with her own.

Lin Qingque grasped the fluttering little butterfly and tossed it towards her.

"Return the person to me."

Just as the butterfly reached midway, it suddenly seemed to lose its strength and fell from the sky.

Liu Ruoxue hesitated for a brief moment before rushing downward with Xu Yuan in tow.

"As expected."

Tian Liuli\'s eyes flickered with unsurprised hues, her other jade hand held behind her back forming seals.

The next instant, her figure subtly blurred, stepping through the void and away.

She was well aware of Lin Qingque\'s intentions, knowing that she planned to retrieve Xu Yuan first and then snatch back that Illusionary Path Treasure.

Of course, Tian Liuli did not wish for the item to end up in her hands.

Lin Qingque noticed her thoughts and, with a flicker of her silhouette, also surged upward.

Just as the three were about to collide, Liu Ruoxue suddenly extended her hand and flung Xu Yuan into the distance, sending him plummeting to the ground like a streak of light.

"Senior Brother!"

Lin Qingque made no hesitation, turning directly towards him.

As for Tian Liuli,

She merely glanced briefly in that direction, her target remaining unchanged.

All she needed to ensure was that the strongest person on the field was always her.

Liu Ruoxue had foreseen this scenario, and everything unfolded nearly as she had anticipated; with one hand capturing the butterfly, her ancient sword suddenly burst forth with bright light.

But at that moment, the afterimage that Tian Liuli left behind started to dissipate slowly, and her figure, emanating boundless indifference and dominance, emerged behind her.

"Hmm? A burst-type secret technique?"

She raised an eyebrow slightly, "Planning to leave?"

Tian Liuli gently swept her palm downward.

The next moment, piercing sword qi soared into the sky; Liu Ruoxue in Sword Unity, transformed into a dazzling snow-colored sword light, turned towards the direction where Xu Yuan had fallen.

"Bang!"

Simultaneously, Tian Liuli\'s palm, heavy with powerful intent, struck down upon her back.

Liu Ruoxue\'s face went pale.

But still, she continued with her sword control, taking advantage of the strike to reach Xu Yuan even before Lin Qingque could, and snatched him away.

Seeing her plan nearing completion, Liu Ruoxue couldn\'t help but breathe a sigh of relief, then without any hesitation, she slipped the newly awakened, still dimly sentient butterfly Artifact Spirit secretly into a cut on Xu Yuan\'s body.

Right after that, she fled in panic under the sudden outburst of Lin Qingque\'s wrathful fire from behind.

Meanwhile, as she escaped, she appeared to inadvertently release the disciples below.

Tian Liuli, seeing her actions, couldn\'t help frowning, but she knew what was most important was to prevent Lin Qingque from obtaining the treasure, so she followed suit.

...

An hour later, blood splattered across the moonlit sky.

The two stood facing each other silently; one expressionless, holding the unconscious Liu Ruoxue, the other cradling Xu Yuan\'s body.

"I will interrogate her."

Tian Liuli looked at Lin Qingque and spoke indifferently, "Mr. Xu should be fine, but there are indeed traces of sword qi on his back. It seems I was mistaken."

"Hmph, haven\'t I said that Senior Brother would never conspire with others to deceive us?"

Lin Qingque snorted coldly.

She glanced at the ashen-faced Liu Ruoxue in Tian Liuli\'s grasp and said, "Just don\'t kill her, remember to find out how to leave this place and where the Artifact Spirit from earlier went."

"I know."

Tian Liuli nodded, her gaze falling on Xu Yuan, "I have no objections to you healing Mr. Xu, but don\'t think about doing anything else to him, otherwise…"

"Rest assured, I\'m well aware of the effects of your United Heart Curse,"

Lin Qingque nodded with a trace of reluctance in her expression.

It wasn\'t until she took Liu Ruoxue away that Lin Qingque\'s face turned, revealing a sly smile.

"Who says there\'s only one kind of thing between a man and a woman? Besides, there are many ways to heal."

Her eyes settled on Xu Yuan, her cheeks flushed with a sickly pallor.
