Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 83: Forced by Fairy Feng Ya

The discovery left Ye Wenxin quite surprised. "Could this necklace be..."

Fairy Feng Ya finally reacted with a slight nod.

The conversation halted again, and Ye Wenxin felt like she was going crazy. After a moment's thought, she said, "By the way, Fairy Feng Ya, do you remember your disciple?"

Fairy Feng Ya's attention returned to Ye Wenxin, and her expression finally showed some change.

"Your disciple, Gu Aotian, is about to explode with frustration. He finally found a master, but you never showed up," Ye Wenxin remarked, thinking of the poor Gu Aotian. Despite being the protagonist, it seemed his spotlight had been stolen by her, leaving his life in shambles, even turning him into Hei Tong's accomplice.

"Aren't you my disciple?" This question finally elicited a response from Fairy Feng Ya, but the content left Ye Wenxin speechless again.

"Are you out of your mind? I refused to be your disciple back then, so the sect leader gave the title to Gu Aotian. Wait, don't tell me the sect leader never informed you!" Ye Wenxin recalled the old sect leader of Cangyu Sect and Fairy Feng Ya's obsession with training, realizing she likely didn't know her disciple had changed.

"What does that have to do with me? You were the top, so you are my disciple," Fairy Feng Ya dismissed Ye Wenxin's explanation. She had left intending to discuss this matter privately with Ye Wenxin.

Yet, she hadn't expected her only disciple to take so long to find her.

"What kind of logic is that? I have the right to refuse. If I'd known you were Fairy Feng Ya, I wouldn't have saved you even if it killed me," Ye Wenxin was at a loss. She had heard of forced marriages and even forced... other things, but this was her first time encountering a forced disciple situation with a domineering twist.

If Fairy Feng Ya were a handsome man, Ye Wenxin might have agreed with a smile. But Fairy Feng Ya was a woman, and the one Ye Wenxin hated most in this world.

"Then give back the Eighteen Needles of Soul Calming," Fairy Feng Ya said calmly. The mere suggestion made Ye Wenxin nearly choke, furious.

"Wait, wasn't that a gift exchange for the Eighteen Needles of Soul Calming?" Ye Wenxin quickly corrected the narrative.

"I changed my mind," Fairy Feng Ya squeezed out a few more words, completely shattering her own persona. It was shameless, yet Ye Wenxin found it hard to refute.

"I... I really don't want to be your disciple. You barely talk and are so reclusive. If I were your disciple, you'd probably ignore me, and I'd end up dead without you knowing," Ye Wenxin thought of Gu Aotian's loneliness and felt that aside from being beautiful, Fairy Feng Ya was useless.

"No, as my disciple, I'll protect you no matter what," Fairy Feng Ya said, which was rare for her, and would have moved an ordinary person to tears. But Ye Wenxin's mind was warning her.

Fairy Feng Ya's words were deceitful!

"I don't believe you."

"You will, eventually," Fairy Feng Ya replied without urgency.

"What benefits do I get from being your disciple?" Ye Wenxin, seeing that persuasion didn't work, tried another approach to make Fairy Feng Ya regret her decision.
