Chapter 2

( Imma do some fast updates cuz i have school for tomorrow OhOHOhOHo )

The Senior Yun Sect disciples trembled in fear and compressed themselves in the corner of the alley while looking at Lian Ren's glowing blue eyes. One of the Senior Yun Sect disciples jabbed his companion and cursed at him,

His companion frowned at him and also jabbed his shoulders,

Lian Ren stared at his glowing blue spiritual qi and lifted his gaze at them full of killing intent.

The Senior Yun Sect disciples shrieked and pushed each other to hide in the corner, one of them couldn't take the intimidation anymore and left his comrades then ran away from Lian Ren. The glowing blue spiritual qi swiftly went in front of the running Yun Sect disciple and turned into an sharp ice spikes, the tip of the spikes slightly brushed on the throat of the Yun Sect disciple, leaving a shallow cut with a blood slowly dripping down his chest and staining his plain white robe.

Lian Ren sneered at him,

Another wave of sharp ice spikes rushed through the Yun Sect disciple's direction and pierced through his both shoulders. The sharp cold pain made him shudder and roar in pain, Lian Ren scowled at him while staring at his direction with his bloodshot eyes.

One of the grouped Yun Sect disciples who were hiding in the corner shouted.

Lian Ren chuckled and replied at him,

All of the disciple's eyes shrunk at what he said. They now realized that Lian Ren was not joking on killing them inside the Yun Sect, all of the Yun Sect disciples kneeled down and kowtowed to him while pleading for their lives,

Lian Ren's glowing eyes twinkled as he lowered his gaze at them, he slightly waved his hand and a glowing blue spiritual qi flowed out of his palms and molded it's shape into a beautiful snowflake.

The Yun Sect disciples lifted their gazes at him in a terrified expression,

Lian Ren laughed out loud, as if he was mocking their sincere pleads and laughing at the value of their lives. The beautiful glowing blue snowflakes on his hand divided into many pieces and was about to rush on the Yun Sect disciple's direction when Lian Ren felt that someone had broke his soundproof barrier. He withdrew his stretched palms and curled it in a fist, the beautiful snowflakes bursted into nothingness.

Lian Ren shifted his gaze at the person who had just arrived and slightly raised his eyes,

Shao Ling was wearing a night robe and holding a lantern on his left hand, his hair that length down to his knees were loose and straight and his face was slightly drowsy, as if he hadn't sleep for days. He shifted his gaze at Lian Ren's direction and lowered his gaze at the Yun Sect disciples who whose face were brightened as if they had their salvation.

Shao Ling arched his brows and shifted his gaze at Lian Ren, ?"

Lian Ren glared at them with his glowing blue eyes, the Yun Sect disciples shrieked and shuddered while they tried to compress on each other like a wriggling worms covered with salt. One of the Yun Sect disciples said, trying to resist his fears.

His comrades nodded aggressively and forced a crying smile on Shao Ling's direction.

Shao Ling put his other hand on his back as he stood there with his brows arched.

Lian Ren snorted. The Yun Sect disciples realized that their reason were unbelievable, they jabbed each other to fish out some words to say until one of the Yun Sect disciples spoke,

Shao Ling's brows lowered and it seemed like he believed the Yun Sect disciples, the Yun Sect disciples heaved a breath of relief while Lian Ren stood still on his place as he crossed his arms. Lian Ren asked while looking at the lantern Shao Ling was holding.

Shao Ling glanced at him and immediately answered,

He answered my question? He usually looks at me with disgust and ignored my every single words... Lian Ren was confused on the inside but he was calm and poised on the outside, he raised his hand and caressed his grinning mouth as he stared at Shao Ling who was slightly nodding off from his drowsiness. How amusing.

Lian Ren took a step forward on Shao Ling's direction with a smile,

Shao Ling was taken aback and he stopped nodding off, he slightly shook his head to ease his drowsiness and glanced at Lian Ren in a daze.

He really changed. Lian Ren's smile turned into a mischievous grin as he held Shao Ling's back and lead the way. He turned his head and lowered his gaze at the kneeling Yun Sect disciples and gave them a dagger look before proceeding to walk straight at the Azure Cloud Pavilion's direction.

Even if Shao Ling had changed, Lian Ren still hate him and he decided that he will never see him as the reason to stop his revenge in the future, he could kill Shao Ling right now that he had let his guard down if he wanted to but that plan was too boring. He wanted Shao Ling to see how his Yun Sect that he worked hard to manage slowly fall and how the Yun Sect disciples that he had taught betrayed him in the future before killing him.

Even if he wasn't able kill him at the last lifetime, he was satisfied to see how the Yun Sect fell by his sword and how the arrogant elders begged for their life while kneeling and kissing his boots in fear. He had planned to let Shao Ling live and made him live in hell as he saw that the Yun Sect he was so proud of was no more on the cultivation world but he self destructed and the time has turned back.

The disgusted look of the Yun Sect disciples and their mocks and bullying had came back to him, but that alone is not enough to make him feel intimidated. Shao Ling's torment was much more scary than those nasty words and bullying of the Yun Sect disciples. He was once punished by kneeling at the center of the disciplinary hall with salts on his knees in a week, he was starved for four days by Shao Ling after the Yun Sect disciples framed him from stealing the spiritual stones and he had no choice but to eat grass on the ground just to ease his hunger.

He was humiliated in front of the other Peaks and Sects when other disciples from the other Peaks and Sects visited the Yun Sect disciples while he was being whipped outside the disciplinary hall with no fabric covering his body. All of those things that Shao Ling did to him gave him a huge scar that sparked the fire of his hatred and anger that leads to revenge.

He left the Yun Sect and went to the border of the Empire of Qiaochen at the north and randomly found a demon general's soul in front of an high tier underworld gate inside a cave where he had decided to stay for a few days since he had nowhere to sleep to. He made a contract with the demon general about helping him strengthen his cultivation by improving his ice attribute. He stayed at that cave for eight years learning demonic arts to his extent until he succeeded his revenge as the Frost Demon.

Lian Ren was taken aback when he heard Shao Ling's serene voice beside him. He stared at the gate of the Azure Cloud Pavilion and shifted his gaze at Shao Ling whose eyes were half close, as if he was close on falling on a deep sleep.

Lian Ren pursed his lips and pondered for a while, he didn't want to leave because he want to know how far Shao Ling had changed with his own eyes. He leaned closer to his face and stared at it for a long time in a frown, trying to figure out why he had changed all of a sudden. Shao Ling's sleepy eyes glanced up at him, Shao Ling asked with a bewildered expression.

Lian Ren's lips slightly curved as he replied,

Shao Ling frowned and rubbed his both eyes, Before he could say anymore words, he completely fell into a deep sleep and flopped on Lian Ren's chest.

Lian Ren lowered his gaze at him with his brows knitted tightly in a confused state. He sighed heavily and held Shao Ling's waist and thighs then carried him as he went straight inside the Azure Lotus Pavilion. He was surprised that Shao Ling's body was as light as feather, he never dared to carry him in his last lifetime so he never knew his actual weight. He shoved the curtains and gently put Shao Ling down to his bed, Shao Ling slightly moved and his slender hands gripped tightly on the bed sheets as if he wants to hug something.

Lian Ren thought of something and went back to the living room of the pavilion, he grabbed a paper scroll placed neatly on the wooden drawer and went back to Shao Ling's chamber. He placed the paper scroll beside Shao Ling and Shao Ling immediately hugged the paper scroll when he felt that there was something beside him.

Lian Ren stared at Shao Ling's sleeping state in a daze. He unexpectedly found out his Shizun's sleeping habit without being punished for a day, his hand subconsciously stretched out to hold the strand of Shao Ling's long loose hair that was covering him down his knees like a cocoon, he sated at it and caressed it for a while before turning around to leave the Azure Cloud Pavilion.

Change of plans.
