After speaking, Luo Bingli carefully sensed her surroundings. Only when she finally confirmed the system had quieted down did she let out a sigh of relief.
Her entire body then slumped onto the bed, completely succumbing to a state of utter despair.
‘Damn this system,’ she silently cursed, ‘you’re going to be the death of me!’
‘Ah, forget it. Tomorrow, I’ll just meet Ye Xiaozi directly and tell her the truth.’
With that, Luo Bingli drifted off to sleep.

Having returned from the mine, Ye Xiaozi finally made it back to her dwelling after receiving a stern warning from the Vice Palace Lord.
“Phew, I’m finally back!” Ye Xiaozi exhaled deeply.
“Xiaozi, you’re finally back! Senior Sister Qian waited here for a long time. She only left about ten minutes ago when you hadn’t returned!” As soon as Wang Xiaomei saw Ye Xiaozi, she rushed to her side and recounted what had happened earlier.
“What? Why did Senior Sister Qian come looking for me?” Ye Xiaozi was startled, puzzled as to why Senior Sister Qian would seek her out.
“Oh, I know about that. Senior Sister Qian told me. The few people who kept bothering you a couple of days ago — didn’t they offend Senior Sister Qian? Although they ran away for a few days, Senior Sister Qian still caught them and taught them a good lesson. Moreover, she got some bad news from them. Apparently, they were bothering you because a high-ranking figure in the Hundred Flowers Palace wanted to cause you trouble.”
“Trouble for me?” Ye Xiaozi blinked, feeling a strange sense of familiarity with this turn of events.
“Exactly! I heard they were given several hundred spirit stones. I wondered why that person changed her skirts so many times in such a short period! It turns out it was a reward for bothering you. She’s so vain!” Wang Xiaomei couldn’t help but feel upset about Ye Xiaozi’s predicament.
“So that’s it!” In that moment, Ye Xiaozi suddenly recalled that the Regional Manager had just explained something similar to Elder Wu. But could it truly be? Had the Saintess really taken an interest in her?
Thinking of the lofty Saintess, who would actually take an interest in a plain duckling like herself, Ye Xiaozi couldn’t help but lower her head, her cheeks flushed with shyness.
“Uh… you must already know the whole story, right? And who the mastermind is, right? From the way you’re acting, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing!” Wang Xiaomei looked at Ye Xiaozi, a helpless expression on her face.
“That… this… indeed!” Ye Xiaozi eventually lowered her head, admitting the truth.
“It seems Senior Sister Qian came for nothing then.” Wang Xiaomei pouted, looking as if she felt wronged on Senior Sister Qian’s behalf.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaozi scratched her head awkwardly. Although she now knew the reason, Senior Sister Qian’s kind intention still made Ye Xiaozi feel that there were many good people in the world.
She immediately decided to thank Senior Sister Qian tomorrow. As for tonight… sleep.

“Yes… that’s right, I need to take leave to visit my family!” Wang Qiu’er looked at the elder in charge of the Inner Sect Disciples’ affairs with utmost seriousness.
As a diligent disciple, one naturally needed to report to the sect if they planned to be away for an extended period. Otherwise, if the sect needed them and couldn’t find them, whose fault would that be?
A scolding afterward would be the least of it. Sometimes, if one was unlucky, the sect might even consider it an act of betrayal and issue a warrant for their arrest.
Therefore, if one accidentally transmigrated and joined a sect, and then left for several years due to some matter, only to return and find themselves a wanted criminal, they shouldn’t blame the sect entirely. Sometimes, it might just be their own bad luck, shouldering a burden they couldn’t possibly bear.
The elder nodded upon hearing this. “Since the Saintess herself has asked you to go home and rest, then take a good period of rest! After all, you’ve reached the Core Formation stage at such a young age, and you even formed a purple core. Your future path is still very long, and it’s about time you had a good rest!”
“Thank you, Elder. I heard the Saintess say you are the kindest-hearted among all our elders. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I do.”
“Oh, really? The Saintess actually said that about me! I am truly honored!”
“Yes, the Saintess said exactly that! Since that’s the case, I will head home now!”
“Understood! Then, Little Qiu’er, take care on your way! Give my regards to your Saintess!”
“Of course!”
Watching Wang Qiu’er depart, the inner sect elder couldn’t help but shake their head, muttering, “They all say Wang Qiu’er is a despicable sycophant, but I think those who say such things are wicked-hearted and prone to jealousy. How could this girl Qiu’er, being so polite, be the kind of person they claim?”
Perhaps due to Wang Qiu’er’s politeness, the elder felt ashamed for those who spoke ill of her. They never considered that if not for their special position, they would have likely been enraged by Wang Qiu’er’s verbal abuse long ago.
****
That night, looking at the Hundred Flowers Palace bathed in moonlight, Wang Qiu’er couldn’t help but clench her fists.
“Saintess, please rest assured! When it’s your turn to make a move, I will certainly make sure you experience what true smoothness is! Hehe… Damn you, Xiao Yan’er, just you wait for me to rip into you!”
And so, Wang Qiu’er, filled with excitement, set off towards Wuyin City.

The next morning, Luo Bingli opened her eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling, then let out a soft sigh.
What needed to be done still had to be done. After all, no matter how much she sighed, that damn system wouldn’t cancel the task.
However, why hadn’t Little Xue returned today? She wondered if her mother had kept her home.
Thinking this, Luo Bingli shook her head. Without calling for an intermediary or asking anyone else to go on her behalf, she headed directly to Ye Xiaozi’s dwelling.
After all, no matter what, she had pushed Ye Xiaozi off a cliff. The girl would eventually climb back up, and when she did, she would naturally know who had pushed her.
So, rather than being secretive with Ye Xiaozi, it was better to be open and direct: ‘Jump from here, and I’ll give you a quick end. Then, in the future, you can give me a quick end too!’
Perhaps, her future retaliation would be tempered by Luo Bingli’s honesty today, truly granting her a swift end.
It would certainly be better than the scenario in the original plot, where she was thoroughly ‘disciplined’ into a docile plaything by various immortals.
As for being let off the hook? Please, where in the world does such a good thing exist?
With these thoughts, Luo Bingli left her residence and set off for Ye Xiaozi’s home!
