Chapter 1324: Used By Everyone
Xiao Susu had successfully entered Immortal Sect, and even managed to become the disciple of Lord Qing Hua.
Lord Qing Hua was the man with the folding fan just now. In the cultivation world, he was known as the youngest expert at the soul formation stage.
He had top-notch spiritual roots and a devil-may-care temperament. He seemed like the sort that wished for the whole world to be in chaos, a true bad samaritan.
As time went on, Xiao Susu eventually grew to have feelings for this celestial-like master of hers. She had ended up falling in love.
However, the one Lord Qing Hua doted on was the other disciple he had accepted at the time, Yu Linger. Yu Linger was the ribbon-wielding little girl.
She used to be a princess in the mortal world, but seeing as how she had double spiritual roots, the royal family sent her away to the cultivation world. This little girl had the pride of a princess, but her personality was rather simple and straightforward.
Because of her personality, she was often teased by their fox-like master.
Xiao Susu had low self-esteem and was always very respectful towards her master. She couldn’t be as free-spirited as Yu Linger, so her existence was greatly overshadowed by Yu Linger’s.
Compared to staying in the demons’ territory, Xiao Susu preferred to stay at Immortal Sect. Lord Qing Hua would guide her cultivation and it gave her the chance to see him, which made her feel very happy.
In order to stay here, Xiao Susu endured the painful seizures brought on by the seal. The seal didn’t just hide her demon bloodline, it also caused seizures after being used for a period of time. The seizures hurt like a thousand ants were gnawing away at her bones.
Furthermore, if her dad, who was in the distant demons’ territory, wanted to kill her, he could do so with just a thought and Xiao Susu would have to accept her death silently.
However, one time, during one of her seizures, someone discovered the fact that she possessed demonic energy.
The human clan’s hatred for demons ran deep and they usually killed demons on sight. Not only did the demons absorb the life force of cultivators, they also drained the blood of ordinary humans.
Hence, the two races were irreconcilable enemies.
Immortal Sect naturally wanted to kill Xiao Susu. However, Lord Qing Hua went against the sect’s decision and saved Xiao Susu.
Xiao Susu was very moved by the fact that Lord Qing Hua saved her, so she confessed about her purpose in coming to Immortal Sect.
Lord Qing Hua said that Xiao Susu couldn’t stay among humans anymore and gave her the Xuanyuan Sword.
Xiao Susu tearfully carried the Xuanyuan Sword back to the demon race and handed it over to her dad.
However, as soon as her dad touched the sword, it exploded. The strength of this explosion wasn’t powerful enough to injure her dad, but the blood-sucking worm hidden inside the Xuanyuan Sword had managed to take advantage of this momentary distraction to bore into her dad’s heart.
Lord Qing Hua really did whatever he pleased. Most people in orthodox sects were always worrying about how things would affect their reputation or image, but Lord Qing Hua didn’t care as much. As long as something worked, he would try it, so he used Xiao Susu to launch a sneak attack on her dad.
And this method was obviously effective.
The demon race depended on their lifeblood to cultivate. Hence, once the blood-sucking worm entered Xiao Susu’s dad’s heart and devoured his lifeblood, his cultivation rapidly regressed.
Xiao Susu’s dad was extremely furious and immediately sucked Xiao Susu dry. In the demon race, blood relations didn’t count for anything. All that mattered was strength; power was everything.
When Xiao Susu was first born, she was already destined not to have a good life because of her bloodline. The human race couldn’t tolerate her because of her demon blood and the demon race cared even less about a half-human half-demon like her. She didn’t even have any of the innate abilities of a demon.
On top of that, the master she had respected and loved so much had also used her. Xiao Susu was heartbroken at being treated like this by the person she loved. This betrayal was even more painful than when her dad had drained her lifeblood.
Lord Qing Hua had warmed Xiao Susu’s heart with the little bit of gentleness he had shown to her, but he had then cruelly taken back that warmth.
Xiao Susu was at a loss. She didn’t even know what this life was for. She wanted Ning Shu to counterattack for her to help her free herself from the pain that her bloodline had caused her.
The source of Xiao Susu’s pain was that she wasn’t strong enough. She didn’t have the power to resist when her dad placed that seal on her, and the reason Lord Qing Hua had used her was because she was as weak as an ant, so there was no need to care about her.
The unending wars between the two races caused their hatred for each other to become deeply rooted. As soon as Xiao Susu’s identity was exposed, Lord Qing Hua no longer regarded her as his apprentice.
To put it bluntly, everything that had happened, had happened because she lacked strength.
