Su Nuo didn't want to look at the West Tomb right in front of her eyes, but she couldn't concentrate at all. A single moment of inattentiveness and her finger was cut open. Ning Fei saw it and immediately took Su Nuo's finger and placed it in his mouth.

Xi Ling, who had already taken a step forward when he saw Su Nuo's injury, froze on the spot when he saw this sudden change in scene. He then glared furiously at Su Nuo.

Su Nuo was surprised by Ning Fei's audacity and wanted to reject it, but she didn't want to do anything in front of Xi Ling. Thus, she could only lower her head and allow Ning Fei to help her stop the bleeding.

"Your hands are bleeding, too." Suddenly, he realized that the leaf had been too hastily thrown by Xi Ling. A deep cut had also been made on his finger, and it was definitely stronger than Su Nuo's!

Xi Ling did not even look at his bloody hands and only ridiculed, "It's not a big wound. No one will die." As he spoke, he stared at Su Nuo.

Xi Ling felt as if his heart was on fire. It was extremely painful, as if his entire body was being dug dry. And all of this was because of this damnable, shameless, ugly woman. She actually kissed me and my little white face in public without any shame at all.

Although Qingruo was afraid, looking at Xi Ling's injured finger, she mustered her courage and rushed to bandage it. Xi Ling acted as if he didn't have any reaction and just let Qing Ruo do as she pleased.

Su Nuo could only smile at this situation. She could only smile at herself. There was nothing else she could do. But in the end, Su Nuo could not smile anymore, because no matter where she went, she would always be able to see Xi Ling. It wasn't that Su Nuo didn't want to see him from the bottom of her heart, but every time she saw him being so intimate with another girl, no matter how strong she was, she would break down.

Su Nuo was the same! Because the West Tomb had truly settled down in the Demon Sect, just like his own home! Although Su Nuo wasn't in a good condition, she still noticed that Ning Fei's complexion had gotten worse. She wanted to ask Ning Fei, but she thought better of it, even if she did, Ning Fei wouldn't tell her about it, so she went to ask Qing Ruo.

However, the moment Su Nuo thought of going to see Qing Ruo, her scalp went numb. She did not blame Qing Ruo, but no matter what, meeting her like this would definitely not be an easy task. However, after hesitating for a while, Su Nuo still went.

"Sister Su." When Qing Ruo saw Su Nuo, she was very surprised. Indeed, ever since Xi Ling had come, the relationship between the two of them, which could originally be considered close, had suddenly become extremely complicated.

Qingruo originally had a lot of guilt towards Sun Nuo, but now she was even more solicitous. She quickly moved the chair away from Su Nuo and poured some tea for her, making Su Nuo feel very embarrassed. In the end, the two of them sat down in silence and started to feel awkward.

It was Su Nuo who broke the mood and said, "About that, I think Ning Fei's complexion hasn't been too good these two days. Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing that, Qing Ruo stood up. "Sister Su, you saw it too."

Su Nuo was shocked. What Qingruo said meant that something was wrong. However, she did not know what was going on, so she quickly asked, "What happened to Ning Xuemo?"

Qingruo hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Su Nuo and said, "Actually Sister Su, we already told you before, but the Sect Leader didn't allow us to say it. I'm afraid you're worried."

Su Nuo grew even more anxious. "What happened to him?"

"Sister Su, don't worry, I'll tell you." "Actually, the Sect Leader is not sick, it's because he is no longer practicing the ninth level of the Demon Resisting Ghost." Su Nuo did not understand and shook her head. Qingruo explained, "The ancient martial arts of the Demon Resisting Demon Cult and secret arts are incompatible with each other, and as long as you practice successfully, you can completely suppress the side effects of the secret technique. But the problem is, if you do not practice all of these, then these side effects will only become more and more powerful."

Su Nuo stood up immediately and said, "I'll let Ning Fei practice ghost control now."

Qing Ruo pulled her back, "Sister Su, don't you understand?"

"Understand what?" Su Nuo was completely unfamiliar with martial arts.

Qingruo let out a deep sigh and said, "If training with the Imperial Ghosts was a simple matter, the High Priestess wouldn't waste time. Instead, she would make his body feel worse and worse."

Su Nuo knew that it was hard to train with the Imperial Demons, but what she didn't understand was, could it be that Ning Xuemo didn't want to practice just because it wasn't easy?

Qingruo saw through her thoughts and said: "Elder sister Su, Sect Leader is not the type of person who fears difficulties. On the contrary, there is no one in this world who is as persistent as him."

Su Nuo completely approved of this. She could understand it just by looking at Ning Fei's eyes.

Qingruo continued: "Actually Sister Su, the Imperial Censor is not as simple as you think. Sister Su, do you still remember why Sect Leader lost his voice?"

She felt as if she knew something.

Qingruo's eyes looked elsewhere, "Yu Gui, the reason why it is called Yu Gui is because it is a type of martial arts that is even harder to control than the devil. It can suppress the side effects of the secret technique, and the same thing will happen if you fail to break through."

Su Nuo opened her eyes wide, "What you're saying is that as long as Ning Fei doesn't succeed in controlling the ghost, there will always be a side effect, right?"

Qingruo nodded her head, "The side effects of the Imperial Ghosts are determined by the degree of failure. If it's serious, it will be … die on the spot, even Hua Tuo won't be able to save it. That's why those people in the martial arts world have to go through so much trouble to find the Sect Leader's seclusion spot, then choose to assassinate him while he's cultivating."

Su Nuo listened for a long time without saying anything.

The room fell into silence. Suddenly, Qingruo spoke up again, "But at the same time, if you don't break through and stay on a certain level, the Phantom Imperial Ghost's side effect will devour you as well."

"What's the side effect?" Sue felt her voice tremble.

"Accelerate aging." Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Very soon, to an extent that even we can't imagine. I've already shown it to the High Priestess, he is now a Gigabit. Once the side effects start, he won't be able to stop even if he wants to."

Su Nuo stared straight at Qingruo. "How many days until you can start?"

Qingruo stretched out her hand, "At most five days."

Su Nuo's body shook violently. She asked in confusion, "Then what should we do?"

"Sister Su, do you know that this martial art is called 'Evil Subjugation Technique'? There is nothing wrong with it at all, it will make the person who practices this martial art suffer an excruciating death, whether in the heart or the body, unless one can break through it." After pausing for a long time, Qingruo looked at Su Nuo and said, "Sister Su, actually, Sect Leader did not hesitate before, do you know why he stopped this time?"

Qingruo's eyes were staring straight into Su Nuo's, causing her to have nowhere to run. Su Nuo instinctively did not want to hear it, because she felt that she knew the answer.

But now, Big Sister Su, you are right in front of him right now, and you are by his side everyday as well. This has given the Sect Leader a strong sense of nostalgia, and he can no longer remain distracted, only relying on a kind of rootless obsession to continue walking. "

"Because Sect Leader knows that the probability of the ninth level of the Imperial Ghosts' sudden death is too great. It would be better to guard you well, Big Sister Su, and watch until you're done. Then, then …" Qing Ruo could not continue.

Su Nuo just stood there. Her heart was once again in intense pain, but she didn't know what to do. She couldn't find any solution.

She didn't know if she should let Ning Fei take the risk of breaking through to the ninth level, or if she just waited for her death, completely forgetting to refute. She wasn't the person that Qingruo said she was going to wait and protect, she was just someone she met halfway, but somehow felt familiar with.

Qingruo dried her tears and suddenly held onto Su Nuo's hand, cautiously saying, "Elder sister Su, go help us persuade the Sect Leader to let him practice ghost control."

"But..." Su Nuo hesitated.

I think so too. I don't know if this can be considered as seeing things clearly, but we all feel that with Sect Leader's personality, as long as he continues to have this kind of obsession, the Sect Leader will definitely succeed. I think that Sect Leader is unable to see it clearly right now, that's why he decided to stay here and wait for Big Sister Su to die. " Suddenly, Qing Ruo shook her head again, "No, with Sect Leader's personality, once these five days pass, once the side effects of the Evil Emperor begin, he will definitely leave big sister Su. He definitely won't let big sister Su see how he aged."

Su Nuo knew that every single one of these words were correct, not even a single cut or cut, because Ning Xuemo was the kind of person who could die without blinking once for the sake of someone he cared about. He could wait for his entire life out of instinct for the sake of someone he cared about, but he wouldn't let the person he cared about suffer even a little bit of damage, even if it was because of him.

"Sister Su, Sect Leader will only listen to your words." As Qingruo spoke, her voice was filled with sorrow.

Su Nuo clenched her fist tightly before releasing it, saying, "I won't let Ning Fei die."

"Sister Su, you will definitely get the Sect Leader to come back to his senses and break through to the ninth level, right?" Qing Ruo's eyes were like those of a child's, she finally got what she liked with great difficulty.

Su Nuo nodded.

Although he agreed, Su Nuo suddenly had no more confidence.

The gentle sunlight shone down. Su Nuo looked at the house not far away. Ning Fei was inside the house, but she couldn't move her feet even a single step.
