The woman in black looked at the dark mark on Chu Qianli's brow and sneered.
"Yu Linglong followed Wuchenzi for so long, yet only learned such superficial tricks? It's neither here nor there, simply useless!"
Her words made the light in Chu Qianli's eyes shine even brighter.
"Senior, what do you want?"
"You are still a clever child, but I haven't quite decided what I want you to do."
She seemed to be genuinely contemplating, "Although you are indeed very useful, if Wuchenzi cannot restore your face, then you will be utterly worthless."
"..." Chu Qianli was somewhat speechless.
So, in the eyes of a true connoisseur of beauty, ugly people were truly valueless.
It was as if even breathing in this world was a mistake.
"At least, there's still a chance for restoration, right?"
Knowing that she could cure her amnesia, Chu Qianli was determined to hold onto this powerful ally.
"You've already saved me once anyway, senior. Why not grant me a little more favor? Once my face is restored, I can work for senior, can't I?"
She truly had value, and senior shouldn't overlook it!
The woman in black glanced at her face, and the sight of it still filled her with disgust.
It wasn't that she detested everyone who was unattractive, but this girl's association with Feng Yexuan, and her current ugliness, was something she simply could not accept.
Even knowing her great potential value, it was still difficult to bear.
"Fine, come here."
Chu Qianli breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked to her, sitting on the ground as instructed.
"Aren't you afraid I'll harm you?" You told her to close her eyes, and she actually did. Was it a lack of cunning or a lack of caution?
"Senior's martial arts are far superior to mine. If senior wanted to kill me, it would be as easy as flipping a hand. But if senior wanted to kill me, there would be no need to risk the secret passage being discovered to save me."
As long as she was ignored in Ronghua Hall, allowing her to be sliced and diced by the Shadow Killers, the secret of the sleeping chamber's hidden passage would not be revealed.
Now, by bringing her out when Ronghua Hall was empty, the Shadow Killers would naturally turn the entire hall upside down.
After all, such a living person disappearing into thin air was impossible.
Therefore, the secret passage would definitely be discovered.
The woman in black would not kill her for the time being; she was definitely valuable in the woman in black's eyes.
Things were becoming increasingly complicated. Without her memories, Chu Qianli knew there were many matters she couldn't handle.
The woman in black's long fingers landed on Chu Qianli's forehead, slowly moving towards her brow.
"Yu Linglong learned Wuchenzi's forbidden arts but was not skilled enough. The disguise蛊 (gu) was poisoned and remained in your body, mutating and becoming a three-corpse worm that devoured your vital energy."
"This, I suspect, Yu Linglong did not anticipate either."
"However, she wanted your face, so she must have intended to kill you. Therefore, she wouldn't care what happened to the蛊 (gu) worm in your body."
A bunch of fools.
The woman in black's long fingers pressed onto Chu Qianli's brow.
Suddenly, her fingertip exerted force.
Chu Qianli felt a sharp pain in her brow.
The pain was so intense that she almost fainted.
Her consciousness instantly became blurry.
Everything before her eyes seemed to become hazy. In her daze, she only saw the woman in black's fingertip drawing a bloody gash with her own true qi.
Chu Qianli had no idea what was happening to her brow, only that it hurt, hurt terribly!
Her head felt like it was about to explode!
Was something trying to crawl out of her head, through her brow?
It hurt so much!
It hurt to the point of near suffocation!
