Confronting Xian Ye

Since then, Xiao Yan showed her love and affection to Mu Yue in a more brazen way. She doesn't kiss frequently as she knows it might annoy Mu Yue. They were still not that close and she was slowly working on it.

She just shows their relationships to other people. Even the whole school now knows it as the two of them are the highest rankers, which attracts more gossips. Some of the boys were sad at this as both of the two goddesses are now taken by each other.

This did not escape the principal's ears. Although he was no longer in the school, the teachers reported to him because this was related to Xiao Yan. He did not care about this as he knows Xiao Yan would not do things without thinking of their consequences.

He also did not dare to be the one to tell Xiao Yan's family about this. Who knows how they will react and might even blame him for not supervising their daughter. He just sent a message to Xiao Yan to not play with Mu Yue's feelings.

During the second ranking battles, Xiao Yan challenged the people that could threaten Mu Yue's top rank. She also holds the second place so she could challenge Mu Yue at the last moment and not let others use this as a chance to take the first rank. She purposely loses to Mu Yue, ensuring that Mu Yue will hold the top rank.

She then received a scolding from Mu Yue telling her to not do that again. Mu Yue feels like this is cheating and might offend the others. It was just some points and there wasn't too much problem if she loses it.

There was one time when Xian Ye hired some cultivators to target Mu Yue when they were outside the school. However, she only managed to hire some Qi Condensation Cultivators. She however failed as Xiao Yan was with Mu Yue at that time. Since encountering the Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Xiao Yan decided to carry more life-saving items as well as items that can kill strong cultivators.

Mu Yue then learned from the attackers that Xian Ye hired them. The teachers offered to expel Xian Ye but Mu Yue rejected this and decided to be the one to confront Xian Ye.

"W-what are you doing here, Mu Yue?!" Xian Ye yelled when she saw Mu Yue approaching her. She thought that the cultivators she sent were enough to kill her.

"Are you surprised that I wasn't killed by your hired thugs?"

When Xian Ye heard this, she inwardly cursed the cultivators she hired for being weak and even revealing her identity.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Xian Ye denies the accusation as she knows that if she admits it, then she might get expelled.

"Even if you don't admit it, the teachers already know. As for evidence, even if I don't have one, I could just have Xiao Yan ask the principal to expel you." Threatened Mu Yue.

Xian Ye despaired at this. If she did get expelled, the Ling family might disown her. She knows her life would turn upside down if that happens. Knowing that there is no escape, she kneeled and begged for forgiveness, "I-I was the one who hired them. You can hurt me back but please do not expel me from school. I will do anything you ask of me."

"Then swear an oath of complete obedience to me!" Mu Yue commanded. An oath was a shackle, which a person cannot disobey as the heavens will strike the person down if it was broken.

Xian Ye hesitated. This oath could become something worse than being expelled if Mu Yue wishes so. However, she can only take a risk as this was only a possibility.

"I, Xian Ye, swear an oath to the heavens that I will follow Mu Yue's orders in complete obedience." As she finishes creating an oath, her heart ached like something was grasping it. The pain then disappeared and now she looked at Mu Yue, afraid of what she might order her to do.

"Then I want you to not do anything that will cause me or Xiao Yan any harm. Also stop being a bitch that keeps on bothering me." Mu Yue commanded.

Xian Ye had been expecting the worst and can't help but cry when she heard this. She also repeatedly thanked Mu Yue for giving her mercy and promised to return the favor.

Although Mu Yue knows that she might have died if the cultivators that were sent against her were stronger and if she wasn't with Xiao Yan, she still decided to give Xian Ye a chance when she saw her admitting and even asking for forgiveness.

Anyways, she now essentially holds Xian Ye's life and can deal with her anytime. It was better than expelling Xian Ye out of the school. Xian Ye was also the reason why she met her master and Xiao Yan so she took this to the account of Xian Ye being a help to her.
