After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 51

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

During this time, the young Jiang Chen kept his promise.

Whenever someone bullied Qingning, he would appear immediately.

Whenever people from the outer peaks said that Qingning’s talent didn’t qualify her to be a true disciple, he would loudly object, and if objections were futile, he would even challenge them to a duel.

Over the course of three years, Jiang Chen was always at the sparring platform, standing up for Qingning.

This provided the young Qingning with tremendous psychological support.

Although others spoke ill of Jiang Chen to her, and even though during this time, the young Qingning had witnessed Jiang Chen doing some ‘bad things’, she didn’t mind and even felt vaguely happy.

Because Eldest Senior Brother was only good to her…

When she returned from her travels and presented the heavenly and earthly treasures she had obtained through her destiny to Jiang Chen, he would ruffle her hair and say, “Qingning is really amazing.”

When she accidentally made a mistake and was scolded by Xiao Hongyi, Jiang Chen would stand in front of her and say, “Master, I am the Eldest Senior Brother. If Qingning has made a mistake, it’s because I haven’t taught her well. If you must punish someone, punish me.”

All these instances made Qingning believe that her Eldest Senior Brother was the best person to her aside from her Grandma.

Of course, master and Lin Mubai were also good to her, but they could be too strict at times, which made her feel a lot of pressure.

Only by Jiang Chen’s side could she completely relax and enjoy the feeling of being fully cared for.

To repay Jiang Chen and make her Eldest Senior Brother happy, the young Qingning began to go on frequent adventures, even venturing into extremely dangerous regions, and then she would give Jiang Chen the heavenly and earthly treasures that she couldn’t use or that were extremely precious.

“Eldest Senior Brother, this is a fifth-grade treasure fungus. Master said I don’t need it, so I’m giving it to you.”

“Eldest Senior Brother, I found a superior palm technique manual! Can you keep it for me?”

“Eldest Senior Brother, aren’t you practicing swordsmanship? Qingning will give you this mid-grade sword technique!”

“Eldest Senior Brother…”

“Eldest Senior Brother…”

In the image, Qingning would find Jiang Chen first and present him with the treasures she had obtained every time she returned from her travels.

And each time, Jiang Chen would ruffle her hair and say, “Qingning is really amazing.”

Seeing all these images, Qingning felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Back then, she was so naive, naively believing that Jiang Chen was truly praising her and that he was truly proud of her.

But she suddenly realized after the incident where the Jade Spirit Grass was taken from her.

All of it was fake!

The reason Jiang Chen treated her so well and the reason he always stood up for her was to win her favor and then to continuously deceive her in order to obtain more heavenly and earthly treasures!

The image continued.

The young Qingning returned once again.

This time her complexion was pale, her green dress stained with traces of fresh blood, and her fair, tender cheeks still bore obvious marks of dirt.

Even walking required all her effort, yet she still found Jiang Chen first.

Although she was weak and breathless, upon seeing Jiang Chen, she still forced a smile and said excitedly, “Eldest Senior Brother, look! A superior grade spiritual sword! This time Qingning finally found something useful for you!”

This scene was still fresh in Qingning’s memory.

She remembered clearly.

During that time, Jiang Chen repeatedly ‘made mistakes’, angering their master Xiao Hongyi.

Xiao Hongyi believed that Jiang Chen bullied the weak because he relied on being the only son of the Jiang family.

To make his eldest disciple mend his ways, Xiao Hongyi strictly ordered Jiang Chen not to use any of the Jiang family’s items.

Although the order was soon lifted, during that period, Jiang Chen, Ninth Peak Eldest Senior Brother, didn’t even have a decent spiritual sword.

He even lost to a true disciple of the Beast Taming Peak in a sparring match.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s low spirits, Qingning went out again, hoping to obtain a respectable spiritual sword for her Eldest Senior Brother.

But at that time, Qingning was merely a lower four realm cultivator while Jiang Chen had already reached the Core Formation realm.

And the spiritual weapons in the hands of Core Formation cultivators were at least of medium quality! For the young Qingning, this was undoubtedly an enormous challenge.

She couldn’t buy one because she didn’t have enough spirit stones, and unclaimed spiritual weapons of medium quality or higher was certainly not within reach of lower four realm cultivators.

Even so, Qingning refused to give up!

She resolutely went there when she heard that a cave heaven and blessed land had appeared hundreds of li away from the Jiuyan Sect.

With her lower realm cultivation, she followed a group of Core Formation cultivators inside.

After many life-and-death experiences, she managed to secretly bring back a superior spiritual sword without others noticing.

“Qingning is really amazing…”

Jiang Chen rubbed her head again.

The same words, the same gesture.

Upon hearing this, the young Qingning “hehe” laughed, her eyes crescent-shaped, her voice like a tinkling bell.

That sentence seemed to have a better effect than any divine elixir, instantly healing her tired body and soul.

On the contrary, Qingning in the void bit her teeth tightly after seeing this scene, her delicate body trembling non-stop! She was cursing herself!

Why was she so foolish!

She wanted to ask the Jiang Chen in the image.

Couldn’t he see her covered in wounds?

Couldn’t he see her breath was as thin as a thread?

Is there only the spiritual sword she brought back in your eyes?!

Soon, Qingning calmed down and gave a pale smile.

How could he not see? He was just pretending not to notice.

After all, in the eyes of her Eldest Senior Brother, she was nothing more than a tool for obtaining various treasures.From beginning to end, Jiang Chen never truly cared about her.

“Qingning, don’t give me gifts anymore,” Jiang Chen in the scene suddenly said.

“Why? Does Senior Brother dislike Qingning now?” The young Qingning was anxious.

Jiang Chen shook his head while embraced her in his arms, and said softly:

“Qingning, thank you.”

“Everyone misunderstands me, questions me. No matter what others say, only you still firmly stand by my side.”

“Before, Senior Brother didn’t dare to refuse your kindness.”

“Because Senior Brother was worried that by doing so, I would push you away and make you become like everyone else.”

“But now I realize that I’ve been really selfish.”

As he said this, Jiang Chen suddenly knelt down.

He grasped young Qingning’s small shoulders, looking directly into her large eyes.

His hands trembled, tears filled his eyes, and he nearly wailed, “You’re hurt so badly. How on earth did you make it back?! Do you want to break Senior Brother’s heart?!”

Young Qingning was frightened.

It seemed to be the first time Jiang Chen had ever yelled at her…

She should have felt pain, but for some reason, her young heart was filled with warmth instead.

Qingning in the void was also startled.

She had never heard these words before.

She had never seen Jiang Chen show such concern for her!

Memory seemed to have deviated.

Jiang Chen’s face in the vision was so familiar, yet at this moment, it suddenly became strange.

“Who… who are you?”

Staring at the white-clothed Jiang Chen who looked so distressed, Qingning asked blankly.
