Even though the two of them had completely different temperaments, Nan Zhijin still felt extremely strange inside.
Bai Lingyi looked at him as if he were a stranger, but the emotions hidden deep in her eyes revealed a bit of familiarity.
Nan Zhijin looked at Immortal Huiyan and asked, "Is the surprise the Immortal mentioned this woman? What does the Immortal mean?"
Immortal Huiyan patted Nan Zhijin on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I know you're a person who values affection, but you should also place your feelings on the right person."
"Lingyi is a subordinate I've taken a fancy to. From now on, you two will fight side by side and become my right - hand and left - hand men. During this period, you should first develop a good relationship with her so that you can complete tasks more smoothly in the future."
Nan Zhijin frowned and was about to refuse, but Immortal Huiyan's face darkened and gave him a look that brooked no refusal.
Under the pressure of that look, Nan Zhijin reluctantly lowered his head and said to Immortal Huiyan, "Yes, this subordinate understands."
Immortal Huiyan nodded in satisfaction. "Seeing that you're so sensible, I'm relieved. I'll leave Lingyi to you. You two should get along well and be loyal to the Main God Temple in the future."
"Yes! Lingyi understands!"
"Yes! This subordinate understands!"
Immortal Huiyan left silently, leaving only Nan Zhijin and Bai Lingyi in the yard.
Bai Lingyi took two steps closer, with a gentle smile on her face. "Fellow Daoist Nan, your look just now seemed to be full of shock. Immortal Huiyan has also told me about your matter. I'd like to ask, do I really look that much like your former junior sister?"
There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and she blinked playfully, like a rabbit bursting with curiosity.
But this action made Nan Zhijin feel extremely terrified.
Bai Lingyi's action was exactly the same as Lin Yibai's before!
Nan Zhijin's face darkened, with a hint of resistance and vigilance. "Who exactly are you?"
Bai Lingyi showed a confused expression. "What do you mean? Immortal Huiyan has already told you about my origin. Are you doubting Immortal Huiyan?"
"Of course, I wouldn't dare," Nan Zhijin quickly showed his loyalty, but he still had doubts about Bai Lingyi's identity.
"Are you from the Demon Realm?"
"What's your status in the Demon Realm?"
"Moreover, why aren't you a demon cultivator even though you're from the Demon Realm? When our cultivators enter the Demon Realm, we'll all be injured by the demonic qi, but why are you unharmed?"
A series of questions were thrown at Bai Lingyi. Her expression froze for a moment, and then she answered them one by one.
But secretly, Bai Lingyi gritted her teeth in anger. She endured her impatience and forced a naive smile.
If it weren't for taking revenge on Nan Zhijin, she wouldn't have changed her appearance. She asked Ji Chongming to take her to the Main God Temple, changed her name to Bai Lingyi, and asked Immortal Huiyan to introduce her to Nan Zhijin.
Immortal Huiyan had always been on good terms with Ji Chongming and wouldn't refuse such a request. Although he knew her real identity, he still cooperated and told Nan Zhijin her alias.
Yes, Bai Lingyi was actually Lin Yibai with a new name.
Before she died, everyone saw that her appearance became extremely ugly, like an old woman.
But after changing her appearance, even her aura and spiritual power in her body seemed to have become someone else's.
When she stood in front of Nan Zhijin again, he definitely wouldn't recognize that she was Lin Yibai.
Even if Nan Zhijin had doubts in his heart, Lin Yibai was confident that he wouldn't recognize her.
Before, in the Qingyun Sword Sect, Nan Zhijin, along with True Person Hengling and Pei Xuanjin, had all seemed to treat her as their unique junior sister on the surface.
But in the end, when she was being dealt with by Shen Qing and wanted their help, they just coldly watched as Shen Qing tortured her to death.
Such hatred was engraved in Lin Yibai's heart day and night!
She had once thought about asking Ji Chongming to attack the Qingyun Sword Sect directly, but no matter how she persuaded him, Ji Chongming refused to do as she said. He said something about the grand plan of the Main God Temple and that they had to spare Shen Qing's life for now.
He also said that those people in the Qingyun Sword Sect were the sons of fortune and that keeping their lives would be of great use.
She had to wait until the grand plan of the Main God Temple was accomplished before she could take revenge.
But Lin Yibai really couldn't wait that long. So she used the excuse of missing her senior brother and asked Immortal Huiyan to bring her to Nan Zhijin's side.
She wanted to gradually occupy Nan Zhijin's heart again, just like before, and then sow discord among the people on Nianbai Peak and make them kill each other.
It would be best if they could kill Shen Qing for her before they all died!
If she weren't afraid that suddenly appearing in front of those people would arouse their great suspicion, she wouldn't have begged Immortal Huiyan.
Wait, Nan Zhijin. She, Lin Yibai, would start with you and then wipe you all out.
Seeing that Bai Lingyi had told her life story one by one without any flaws, Nan Zhijin's resistance on his face lessened a bit.
"So, you're a cultivator who accidentally entered the Demon Abyss and was trapped in the Demon Realm for many years. You weren't eroded by the demonic qi because your spiritual root was already damaged and you had been hiding on the edge of the Demon Realm, so you managed to escape."
"How did you meet Immortal Huiyan then?"
Bai Lingyi lowered her head, took a deep breath secretly, and after much self - restraint, said in a normal tone, "Immortal Huiyan has a favor for my father. My father was a guard of the God Temple who served here before. He died in a mission. That's why I've decided to be loyal to the Main God Temple."
Seeing Nan Zhijin stunned when he heard her life story, Lin Yibai secretly felt proud for a moment.
If you want to get close to someone, you have to cater to their preferences and fabricate a life story similar to theirs, which can quickly draw them closer.
Lin Yibai thought that Nan Zhijin would put aside his guard against her when he heard her mention her father, but she didn't expect to see Nan Zhijin sneer.
"Humph, what kind of father? He's just a lackey of the Main God Temple. Didn't he tell you that you have to do some dirty things when you enter the Main God Temple?"
Bai Lingyi's smile froze. "What are you talking about?"
Nan Zhijin said with a cold face, "It's nothing. Just a lie."
"Immortal Huiyan asked me to develop a relationship with you, so we can't let him down. Let's go."
After saying that, Nan Zhijin turned around and left.
Bai Lingyi followed behind Nan Zhijin and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
Nan Zhijin walked in front quickly, not caring about Bai Lingyi behind him at all.
"Of course, I'll take you to a good place. What? Are you scared? Don't want to go?"
Bai Lingyi wouldn't miss any opportunity to be with Nan Zhijin. She quickly shook her head and said in her most delicate voice, "I trust you. Wherever you take me, I'll follow."
It was another sentence that Lin Yibai had said before.
Seeing Nan Zhijin's movement freeze again, Bai Lingyi curled her lips into a proud smile.
She was gambling that Nan Zhijin still had a trace of affection for Lin Yibai in his heart.
After all, she had spent a lot of effort to pursue Nan Zhijin before, and such feelings couldn't be cut off easily.
But Lin Yibai didn't see the frost gathering in Nan Zhijin's eyes, extremely cold.
