Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Chapter 1952

"I have two conditions. If the elder can agree to them, I can naturally become your disciple."

"Oh?"

Negotiating with an elder is probably a first even among the other peaks.

But Li Lan felt that Xiao Rong was different from the other elders. This was his intuition, and also his trust in his creator god, Yi Jun.

Since Yi Jun was able to choose the woman in front of him as his Daoist partner, she must be different from those evil cultivators in the Great Black Heaven.

"The first condition is that my brother Da Niu also become your disciple."

"As long as I have the status of a formal disciple, that's enough. I won't trouble you with anything else, Elder."

Upon hearing this request, Xiao Rong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I would have taken them under my wing without you even having to tell me."

“That child is kind-hearted and, although somewhat naive, not stupid. I am considering taking him as my apprentice.”

"However, he is still lacking in talent if he were to become my last disciple."

"As for you, if you could become my last disciple, I believe the sect leader and the elders of the other peaks would have no objections."

"It's impossible."

Li Lan nodded and became Xiao Rong's last disciple.

Although it was an attempt to build a relationship, given Xiao Rong's opinion of him, he believed she wouldn't ask him to do too much.

"Now that we've become master and disciple, I still want to learn about some of your experiences, Master."

"The second condition is that you need to tell me what exactly happened back then that made you stay in the Star Devouring Sect even though your appearance was ruined."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rong's expression changed drastically.

When Xiao Rong mentions this event that has caused her lifelong heartache, she can still feel a faint pain in her face.

"No, this is the only thing I cannot agree to."

"why?"

Li Lan understood that this was a knot in Xiao Rong's heart, and she wouldn't easily reveal it.

But he wasn't just asking about Xiao Rong's past experiences; he was asking about her current attitude.

If he doesn't even know this, then there's no need for him to stay by Xiao Rong's side any longer.

"Don't you want to see Yi Jun again?"

As expected, Xiao Rong was moved by Li Lan's provocation.

"What?! You're saying Yi Jun is still alive?!"

After listening to Yue Nu's story, Li Lan knew that Yi Jun could not possibly still be alive.

However, his remains are still there, and Xiao Rong probably doesn't know that the Star Devouring Sect has been occupying Yi Jun's remains.

"I don't know if he's still alive, but I do know that if he is, he must still be inside the Star Devouring Sect."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rong's expression immediately changed.

However, she quickly realized that under the siege of the elders and sect leader of the Star Devouring Sect, it was impossible for Yi Jun to still be alive.

Since the person in front of me said that, it proves that he knows something.

"Li Lan, what exactly do you know, and what do you need me to do?"

Xiao Rong had already stepped down from the platform and stood in front of Li Lan.

"Answer my question first. This is our deal, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Li Lan's reply, Xiao Rong's delicate body trembled.

"Hehe, it won't hurt to tell you."

"You must have learned about this from a disciple within the Star Devouring Sect, right? About Yi Jun?"

Li Lan did not answer, but simply waited quietly for the answer he wanted.

“My husband and I made a promise back then that once he cultivated to the quasi-god realm and obtained the family’s inheritance, he would come back to get me.”

"Then we can leave this awful place and live happily in the Heavenly Realm."

"But how could I not know that a man as outstanding as my husband should not have a burden by his side?"

"At that time, the Star Devouring Sect was the most powerful sect in the entire Great Black Heaven. If I didn't want to become a burden to my husband, I had no choice but to come here to cultivate."

"I originally thought that as long as you pass the test, you can be treated as a fellow disciple by the sects that stand at the top in this dark world."

"But I was wrong, terribly wrong."

"So the reason why the Star Devouring Sect has always been at the top in the Great Black Heaven is because of their inhuman methods."

“But I am different, my husband is different.”

“If he knew that I had already lost my chastity and had even become someone else’s puppet, even if my husband did not abandon me, I would have no face to follow him anymore.”

"What does my appearance matter compared to a lifetime of chastity?"

"In order to wait for my husband to come and get me, I had no choice but to disfigure myself and become an abandoned pawn of the Star Devouring Sect."

Hearing this, even Li Lan, who had experienced countless events in life, was somewhat moved.

With such a woman, what more could a husband ask for?

To preserve her chastity, she would rather ruin her appearance than be defiled.

In contrast, Su Yao and the other two were worlds apart.

If it weren't for Da Niu's desperate pleas and his own intervention, Su Yao would probably have already become someone else's vessel.

"Originally, I wanted to slowly accumulate cultivation in the Star Devouring Sect, and then find a way to get rid of the Star Devouring Sect when I was strong enough."

"But who would have thought that my husband somehow found out about me and rushed over from the Azure Heaven Realm, and even got into a conflict with the Star Devouring Sect."

"At that moment, I knew that everything I had done was worthwhile."

This did not contradict the description Li Lan had heard before, and coupled with Xiao Rong's behavior, he felt that it was all true.

"And then? After Yi Jun clashed with the Star Devouring Sect, did you never see each other again?"

Xiao Rong shook her head bitterly.

"I was imprisoned when Yi Jun caused havoc in the Star Devouring Sect."

"A few days later, the sect elders discussed the matter and concealed everything."

“I don’t know what happened after that, and I don’t know how my husband is doing.”

"All I know is that since that day, I have been promoted to the seventh elder of the sect and have been in charge of managing this medicinal garden."

"As for the reason, I understand. It's nothing more than the sect being worried about retaliation from the forces behind my husband, so they pinned all the blame on me."

As the person involved, Xiao Rong naturally knew better than anyone else.

It seems she has suffered a lot over the years.

"Since that's the case, why don't you choose to find a chance to escape and explain everything clearly? I believe no one will be left to avenge your husband."

Yi Jun's background is anything but simple, as can be seen from the Star Devouring Sect's deliberate concealment of it.

If they knew everything, the Star Devouring Sect probably wouldn't fare too well either.

Xiao Rong shook her head, and Li Lan heard her sigh.

"How could I not want to avenge my husband?"

"Even though I have become the seventh elder of the Star Devouring Sect, my personal freedom has long been controlled by Mo Chen, and there is no way I can escape."
