Chapter 119

"Brother Jiang stands in the light, unable to make out the various details within the dark abyss, and so cannot understand why the people inside would develop such strange thoughts."

Jin Lingzhi looked at Bai Feifei deeply.

Thinking that the person before her came from Ghost Palace and also had a tragic past, she suddenly understood why Bai Feifei could have such an insight.

Because before meeting Jiang Sishui, her situation and Yuan Suiyun's were originally similar....

Yet she, Jin Lingzhi, the precious young lady of Wan Shouyuan, who had grown up carefree and willful, was clearly also a "person raised in the sunlight."

She had just finished listening to Bai Feifei's words when she saw the diary write—

【But that's how it's written in the book, so let's just leave it at that】

【And if it were only this, Yuan Suiyun would at most be a schemer and an ambitious man】

【There are countless such ambitious men in the world, new ones in every generation, nothing rare about them】

【But beyond that, Yuan Suiyun is also a complete pervert!】

【He did something utterly inhuman on Bat Island!】

【He trapped a group of women on Bat Island, sewed their eyelids shut, and forced them into prostitution to receive clients, so that they could never again have dignity, freedom, or light】

【And the reason he did this was probably because he himself was blind, and so he was unwilling to let others see the light, wanting others to share his suffering】

Sew a person's eyelids shut, turn them into blind people like himself, and then make them receive clients?!

Jin Lingzhi spontaneously felt a chill of revulsion, gooseflesh rising all over her body.

Is this really her beloved?

Why... why would he be so perverted that even she, who fears nothing under heaven or earth, could not help but tremble?

Bai Feifei, beside her, was silent for a moment, then said: "It seems he's even more perverted than I imagined."

……

At the same time, Yuan Suiyun's deeds also roused the indignation of the women.

Some, skilled in Wu Gong, had already resolved that if they happened to run into him, they would make this "blind bat" clip his wings!

"Wuzheng Shanzhuang... perhaps we can find him there!"

Some quick-witted heroines even set their sights directly on Yuan Suiyun's old home.

Bat Island is hard to find, but your Wuzheng Shanzhuang can't run away, can it?

Others, kind-hearted, planned to find out Bat Island's location and then rescue the pitiful women inside.

"Bat Young Master" Yuan Suiyun, at this moment, had suddenly become the target of everyone's arrows.

【Yuan Suiyun auctioned off goods, and Jin Lingzhi was one of his "customers"】

【She bought the Mount Huashan Sword Technique ultimate skill—"Clear Wind Thirteen Forms"—from Yuan Suiyun!】

Shanzhou, Mount Huashan.

Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan sat facing each other in silence.

Based on the previous diary entries, they knew this "Clear Wind Thirteen Forms" had been embezzled by Master Kumei.

132 Bai Feifei: Not competing is the greatest competition

Yue Lingshan suddenly said: "Mother, I heard that a few days ago Senior Sister Hua went to Uncle-Master Kumei's place of closed-door cultivation, didn't find anyone, and went down the mountain."

Ning Zhongze was silent for a moment, then said: "Your Senior Sister Hua must also have a copy of the diary. And I'm afraid she's not as simple as she appears on the surface."

Hua Zhenzhen first went to Master Kumei's place of closed-door cultivation, then went down the mountain, so her purpose was very clear.

Nine times out of ten, she was going to investigate the truth and then call him to account!

Then what gave her the confidence to investigate and hold accountable a grand master of the Yiweida Sect?

The protection of the Kunji Seal?

That certainly wouldn't work.

A treasure that only defends and does not attack could only keep her safe, but could not let her overcome her enemies.

Then where did Hua Zhenzhen's confidence come from?

Connecting with the earlier content, Hua Zhenzhen had once rescued Hu Tiehua from the joint siege of Master Kumei and Gao Yanan, so Ning Zhongze had a guess in her heart.

Yue Lingshan, hearing her mother's words, nodded; clearly she too had noticed something amiss.

As for Gao Yanan, who had rushed back to Mount Huashan from thousands of miles away, she was destined to make the trip for nothing.

【Unlike others, Jin Lingzhi bought "Clear Wind Thirteen Forms" not with gold and jewels, but with her own body】

【Of course this wasn't because she lacked money】

【Wan Shouyuan was a great and prosperous house; she wouldn't have fallen to such a state】

【The reason she did this was that she had originally admired Yuan Suiyun】

【Of course, whether Jin Lingzhi knew Yuan Suiyun's true nature when she gave herself to him, that is unknown】

【But I reckon she was tricked into giving her body first, and only afterward learned of Yuan Suiyun's dark nature; only after boarding the pirate's ship could she not get off】

【Because when the story of "Legend of the Bat" officially begins, a servant of Yuan Suiyun's named Ding Feng could already give her orders】

【Jin Lingzhi was bratty and willful, a typical young lady's bad temper, yet one word from Ding Feng and she had to rein in her nature, becoming as docile as a lamb】

【This clearly meant she had a hold over her】

【And from this one can also see that her position in Yuan Suiyun's heart was not high, even lower than that of a servant】

【In this situation, unless Jin Lingzhi was a masochist, she would never have given herself to him again after learning his true face】

"So that's it, this is how I became his mistress..."

Jin Lingzhi, suddenly enlightened, also felt a touch of self-mockery.

This really was a case of being blinded for a moment, and bringing it upon herself.

The most hateful part was that she had already given her chastity to Yuan Suiyun, yet her position in his heart was so low that even a servant dared to boss her around in front of her.

Thinking of the aggrieved scene of herself being lorded over by a servant swaggering above her, yet held in check and daring not to act out, Jin Lingzhi ground her back teeth so hard she nearly bit them to bits.

"What a masochist! If I'd known he was that kind of pervert, I'd have to be sick in the head to go and like him!"

Jin Jin Lingzhi was so angry her face turned green.

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened!

【But as one reaps what one sows, Yuan Yuan Suiyun never took Jin Jin Lingzhi seriously, and in the end he died at her hands.】

"I killed Yuan Yuan Suiyun? What happened?" Jin Jin Lingzhi was a bit dazed.

Since Jiang Sishui said Yuan Yuan Suiyun could have become the Wu Lin Alliance leader just by setting up an open martial arena, his Wu Gong must be extremely high—and for such a treacherous man to actually die at her hands?

【Chu Chu Liuxiang got mixed up in it when Ding Feng tried to take control of the "Twelve Linked Fortresses" faction, and by a twist of fate he and a group of friends ended up on Bat Island.】

【The two matched wits and courage, and in the end he exposed Yuan Yuan Suiyun's true face.】

【But although Yuan Yuan Suiyun was blind, his Wu Gong was even higher than Chu Chu Liuxiang's, and his mind was meticulous—after a careful scheme, he was about to trap Chu Chu Liuxiang's group on the deserted island and slip away himself.】

【At this point Jin Jin Lingzhi pretended to be cowardly, left Chu Chu Liuxiang's group, and begged Yuan Yuan Suiyun to take her with him.】

【Once she got close to Yuan Yuan Suiyun, she seized the chance to launch a sneak attack, sealed his acupoints, and dragged him down into the deep sea with her.】

【In the end Yuan Yuan Suiyun died, and she narrowly escaped with her life.】

【But Jin Jin Lingzhi only lived a few years longer; her cause of death was never made clear—it might be that Yuan Yuan Suiyun had poisoned her with something requiring a periodic antidote, or it might be that her heart died and her spirit withered away.】

Jin Jin Lingzhi: "..."

Um, didn't that mastermind behind the scenes die a bit too casually?

So many people couldn't kill him, yet he was easily ambushed by a woman nobody took seriously?

That's just too theatrical.

And she herself died even more casually.

Just a flat "cause of death unknown"?

That left her feeling sullen.

【Seeing Jin Jin Lingzhi today, I have to say, this girl really is something!】

【She's a spoiled little hot pepper through and through—looking at her makes you want to conquer her.】

【Just don't know how many identities she's got now, or whether, like in the story, she's already given herself to Yuan Yuan Suiyun?】

【To get the answer, I seized the chance when she threatened to size me up, deliberately teasing and provoking her on purpose.】

【Jin Jin Lingzhi is hot-tempered—when she's furious she goes brainless, and whatever trump-card Shouduandou Society she has she'll throw them all out.】

【But from start to finish, her Sword Technique was utterly unremarkable.】

【Although I've never seen the "Thirteen Styles of Clear Wind," I'd guess this Sword techniques shouldn't be that weak.】

【So Jin Jin Lingzhi definitely doesn't know the "Thirteen Styles of Clear Wind."】

【Then she shouldn't have any relationship with Yuan Yuan Suiyun right now.】

"So! Turns out this guy was deliberately provoking me to probe my skills and background!"
