"If you say so,"

"Well, Li Na don't you think there is something else aunt needs to know since you are so curious to know where she was last night?" Li Jing questioned, with a threatening smile at Li Na who froze at a spot the moment Li Jing threatened her.

"Aunt, do you ever check your messages or mails?" Li Jing questioned 

"What are you talking about?" Yu Yan asked

"Aunt, he is just asking because he messaged you that you should buy him some street food when you are returning but you didn't respond so he was crossed, silly Li Jing," she grinned suspiciously then she turned to Li Jing, dimming and widening her eyes to signal him.

{Please....}

{If you do my homework for me...}

{Alright, I will,}

Their eyes did all the talking, Yu Yan just nodded her eyes, deciding to ignore whatever it is.

"I will be going to bed now, good night," she stood up from her seat.

"When is he visiting?" her mom questioned

"If you are referring to Chen Kai then I don't know, his parents just came by the hospital so it seems like he will be busy for a while, he will visit soon, don't worry, mom," 

"And have you decided to tell his parents?"

"Yes, next tomorrow," she picked up her bag and walked to her room.

Slumped on her bed and buried her face in her palm, she was now wishing Chen Kai never returned then she would use his absence as a reason why he still hasn't introduced her but the sigh of relief he heaved when he realized his mother didn't find out about them bothered her.

{What if he doesn't do it....can I bear to leave him?}

She pondered.

She didn't back out of the relationship after so long so she isn't sure if she can do it now.

Parallel world 

Tension filled the whole place as almost everyone without duty in the sect gathered in front of the mind-destroying pagoda, they all looked nervous, anxious, worried thinking that today is the D-day and if Huo Li doesn't survive the pagoda or if she doesn't come out now then they would have lost her forever.

However, not everyone is praying for her to leave the pagoda, after all, if she disappears, her position in the sect will be given to someone else, especially now that the positions means more they are now open to the outside world.

Wu Que squinted his eyes as he fixed his eyes on the pagoda while hoping she would just stay in the pagoda forever (If you don't remember who he is, refer to chapter 114, he is the one who wants to replace Huo Li,).

Li Bing who is standing beside him recognised the look on his face. (Li Bing character can also be found in chapter 114, she is Huo Li loyal underling).

{This scumbag must be wishing she doesn't come out, your wish will never come true}

"If you are thinking she won't come out then you can dream on..." she turned to him with a fierce and hateful glare on her eyes.

"She can never be so easily defeated," she continued then she folded her arms on her chest and turned to her front but she turned to him again when she heard him scoff.

"Why don't we make a bet, If Huo Li comes out then I will leave you to do whatever you want to me but if she doesn't then you will support me in becoming the next head disciple," he whispered into her ear to prevent the others from hearing.

"support you..." 

"Yes, you see...since Huo Li used to take you as her most loyal underling, as long as you vote for me after the competition, everyone else will definitely support, so what do you say?" 

"I.n y.o.u.r d.r.e.a.m.s," she blankly whispered back to him with her hateful gaze showing just how determined she is and how much she spites the idea of ever helping him become the next head of the advanced disciples.

"And here I was thinking you believed in her if you believe she is going to come out then why won't you take the bet, it seems like your trust in her is very empty," the best way to make both girls do your bid is by taunting them since they are both hot-tempered.

"You..."

"You had better keep your voice down, you don't want the guardians hearing our conversation," he whispered, holding down her hand that was about to hit him then he smirked and released her hand.

"Alright...as long as you keep your own end of the bet, I will definitely treat you well the moment senior disciple Huo Li walks out of that pagoda," she curled up her lips then she moved away from him.

"Do you think she is going to come out safely?" Huo Mei questioned the other guardians and Huo Ying who are standing behind the elders and the sect madam.

"I believe she is going to come out, Huo Li is stronger than we all think but I am not sure of safely, no one has ever survived the pagoda so even if she comes out, we can only hope her condition won't be out of our control," Huo Qiang answered, amongst them all, he is the only who looks calm despite the tense situation.

Bingchen who was listening balled his fist hearing Huo Qiang statement, he really wished he could think of a way to bring her out of the pagoda without any complications, somehow, ever since Huo Li left for the pagoda, he has always felt restless and ache in his heart.

{Huo Li....}

His mind flashed back to when he pissed her off on the training ground.

The moment of her lunging into the air and almost landing him a hit with a ball of flame in her hand until he turned his face away....the fierce and angry glint in her eyes when her attack was stopped by the sect madam, he missed it.

The flashback of when they infiltrated the vitality sect when she almost fell off the tree and he lunged into the air to catch her with his hands around her waist....her startled expression.

The moment she removed her hairpin when they infiltrated the vitality sect didn't escape his memory, her long hair cascading her back...he really wanted to touch her hair back then....he chuckled inwardly....he was really scared she would flip out if he dared touch her hair without her permission.

Inside the pagoda, Huo Li was still struggling to fight off the demons, the demons with bodies and the spirit demons in the thirteenth level of the pagoda are all of high levels and they cannot be underestimated. The only reason why she is still alive is because of the sudden surge of energy she felt after she woke up after fainting.

"I-I will definitely leave here today and none of you will be able to STOP ME!" she ran towards them, lunging into the air, she threw her sword into the air then she grabbed it again, her flame power surged into her sword, making it more powerful then she landed with a tremendous hit on the ground, causing all the demons to fly in all directions.

She swung her sword around then she slid under one of the demons, cutting it in half, blood spilt all over her dirtied face but she didn't mind it, she continued taking out as much as she could, after all, the mind-destroying pagoda is just like a game, defeat all the demons and monsters in the pagoda, if you manage to leave then all the demons and monsters will be resurrected again for the next player.

"You cannot escape this pagoda" the demons and monsters started chorusing continuously as they circled her with hysterical touches of laughter, their voices were tormenting her. She felt her anger starting to rise, knowing her anger would only make her give in to her inner demons, she tried to suppress her anger but they are pushing her limits.

"Shut up! all of you shut up!" she screamed as she shut her ears.

"You are just a child born from an evil and lustful disciple who defected, you are just the same...even worse,"

"You should give in, stop fighting it...fighting it would only make things worse,"

"Yes give in...it will only make you stronger, how do you feel when it takes control over you...remember how powerful you feel,"

"I SAID SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU," she screamed, shutting her eyes as tears fell out of her eyes while she dropped on her knees, their words were infuriating her and she could feel the urge to let it out...all her anger, her inner demons, letting them take control.

She opened her eyes again but they were gone, all of them including the pagoda itself.

She found herself standing in the midst of a dark mist without no boundary but then they appeared again this time, they are all spirit demons until a familiar face appeared.
