Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

”BAI QING!”

The voice of the Child of Darkness was like a thunderbolt from the clear skies, ringing out loud in Qin Wentianʼs mind. His eyes instantly turned towards the priestess as great waves rose in his heart.

How could he ever forget this name? This familiar name.

Although Qin Wentian was already a peak-level genius of the immortal realms, he would never forget those innocent times he spent during his youth with her. How could he ever forget that lovely lass who always loved to cling on him and call him Wentian gege?

Even when the Bai Clan betrayed him, annulling the marriage engagement, that innocent young girl always stood beside him. In fact, she even became a devil cultivator for the sake of helping him.

”The Judiciary Priestess is that little lass Bai Qing?” Qin Wentianʼs heart trembled. He actually moved towards her, he has already forgotten where he was and what situation he was in now.

Given Qin Wentianʼs cultivation realm, he should be able to control the waves buffeting his state of heart. But Bai Qing was too important to him. When he returned to his particle world, he did try and look for her but to no avail. Now that he suddenly received news of her, and the fact that she was just standing right in front of him, how could he not be agitated? In fact, all sanity and logic has already been pushed to the back of his mind.

The priestess also turned her gaze to Qin Wentian, her originally cold eyes flashed with a trace of panic, which was coincidentally seen by Qin Wentian.

”Little lass Qing`er, is that you?” Qin Wentianʼs heart trembled as he called out.

As his voice faded, the entire space faded to silence. Initially, the attention of everyone was focused on the Child of Darkness but at this moment, everyone was paying attention to the priestess as well as Qin Wentian who seemed to have somewhat lost control.

Right now, Qin Wentianʼs gaze was filled with heat, he was extremely agitated.

Little lass Qing`er?

On the Devil Mountain, only a grand priest had the qualifications to refer to Bai Qing as Little lass Qing`er

An immortal realms cultivator actually referred to Bai Qing as such?

”They seem to be acquainted with each other.” The eyes of everyone flashed. The panic in Bai Qingʼs eyes grew even stronger, showing hints of evasion.

”The priestess of the Judiciary Hall truly did give a ʼfairʼ judgement.” At this moment, Mo Xie who had been silent, suddenly spoke. His eyes were incomparably cold. Back then in the sacred academy, it was this priestess which caused him to lose so much face, failing in his mission to devour Little Rascal. Now, he finally understood the reason why the priestess acted to stop him back then.

”Back then in the sacred academy, you brought experts of the Judiciary Hall to deal with me, someone similarly from the Devil Mountain. What judgement was that? To think you actually have private dealings with this man. And now on the Devil Mountain, you proclaim others as shielding the Child of Darkness while you falsely pretended to be the face of justice. Who could have thought that…”

Mo Xie coldly laughed, no longer speaking. The countenances of everyone here changed. The Child of Darkness also laughed uproariously. ”What a good priestess of the Judiciary Devil Hall. So it turns out to be like this, because of a private connection with this man, you actually sought to act against my Darkness Hall, and cripple a devil king from my faction, expelling me from here. Now, the person who should be judged instead is you.”

The experts beside the priestess all frowned as they berated, ”Stop talking nonsense, the priestess has always been cultivating in our Judiciary Devil Hall, what private connection would she have with this man?”

As the priestess of the Judiciary Hall, she was prohibited from allowing personal matters to affect her judgement or her position would be taken away. As a judge, she has to scrupulously abide by the will of the Myriad Devil Sovereign, not allowing other emotions to cloud her judgement. Hence, the words ʼprivate connectionʼ was especially damning and ruthless.

”He even calls you little lass Qing`er. Also, from what Mo Xie has said, Bai Qing also helped this man during the sacred academy. Is there even a need for more proof?” The reaction of the Child of Darkness was extremely fast as he denounced Bai Qing.

”Priestess.” Those experts turned their gaze onto the judiciary priestess only to see that there she was still staring at Qin Wentianʼs face which was filled with anticipation.

The priestess stretched her hand out and slowly removed her visor, revealing a face of supreme beauty, noble-like and cold. When her features matched with that judiciary robes and blood-colored laurel, she exuded an imposing elegance, resembling the daughter of a devil god.

However when he saw her face, Qin Wentianʼs heart pounded even more rapidly. At this moment, a wild joy could be seen in his eyes.

Although the face before him had some changes due to passing time, the innocent looks now changed to a noble-like cold beauty, increasing her alluringness, no matter how much time passed, she was still her. In Qin Wentianʼs eyes, Bai Qing was still the young girl who didnʼt mind sacrificing so much for him.

At this moment, that cold and noble-looking face suddenly changed as a radiant smile appeared. In that instant, the scene before his eyes and the scenes in his mind superimposed on each other. Qin Wentian smiled as well, an extremely brilliant smile.

”Wentian gege.” A melodious voice sounded out from the priestess. Time seemed to have reversed and this woman before him was no longer the lofty and cold judiciary priestess but was the young girl who always loved to hang out around him, that naive and innocent little lass Bai Qing.

As the sound of her voice faded, the expressions of the devil experts beside Bai Qing all changed. The eyes of that judiciary priest had hints of laughter, while a cold light flashed through the eyes of Mo Xie and the Child of Darkness. Yulong Shengtu started in astonishment, while the experts of the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall were all filled with shock. As for Bujie, he could only blink dumbfoundedly. Being able to meet his little lover here on the Devil Mountain? Wasnʼt this Qin Wentian a little too awesome?

As a priestess of one of the three great devil halls which were the protectors of the Saint Devil Hall, Bai Qing actually termed this man as Wentian gege. One could very well imagine what sort of commotion this would cause on the Devil Mountain.

Yet, Qin Wentian actually laughed. Bai Qing was still Bai Qing, she didnʼt change at all. To think that back then in the sacred academy, the one who silently protected Little Rascal and Qingcheng, and even going so far to get her subordinates to block Huang Shatian, was none other than her.

However, Qin Wentian was truly very happy. He always thought that something disastrous happened to Bai Qing and was very afraid that he would never be able to see her again. But now, Bai Qing actually appeared before his eyes. How could he not be happy?

”Priestess of the Judiciary Devil Hall, well done.” The cold voice of the Child of Darkness rang out but it did nothing to mar the happiness of both Bai Qing and Qin Wentian from reacquainting with each other. Qin Wentian was still smiling. He stared at Bai Qing, ”Little lass, why did you intentionally not meet with me when we were both in the sacred academy?”

”Wentian gege, I…” Bai Qing lowered her head, like she was a young girl who did something wrong, she didnʼt know how to explain.

”Itʼs fine. Seeing that you are safe, your Wentian gege is already very satisfied.” Qin Wentian walked over to her, he then stretched out his hand and cradle her gently on her head, exuding the manner of a doting elder sibling. This scene caused immense shock to everyone, yet Bai Qing didnʼt seem to mind. She inclined her head slightly and rolled her eyes at Qin Wentian, before starting to smile again.

So it turned out that being reacquainted with Wentian gege was such a happy matter. Despite so many years, he still remembered her. In addition, he was still so close with her.

In that case, she was also already very satisfied.

From afar, more and more experts were rushing over.

”What happened?” An expert from the Darkness Devil Hall coldly asked. A devil king from his hall was actually sentenced to a crippled cultivation base and the Child of Darkness was being captured.

”The priestess banned me from entering the Saint Devil Hall, crippled one of our devil kings because of her own private connection with this man. Clearly, she intends to shield him all the way.” The voice of the Child of Darkness was extremely cold. Right now, he wanted to blow this matter up as huge as possible to mask the humiliation of his defeat today. When all arrows pointed at Bai Qing, he would have a chance to retreat with his reputation intact.

”Bai Qing, are you willing to give up the position of the priestess?” At this moment, even the priest was staring at her, as he coldly asked. How could he miss out on such an opportunity?

Qin Wentianʼs expression changed. He didnʼt understand the situation in the Judiciary Hall, and it was because he heard Bai Qingʼs name which made him so agitated earlier, causing him to go all out to recognize her in front of everyone. Bai Qing didnʼt deny it either. Now, from that reckless behavior of his, it seemed that he caused Bai Qing to be in an extremely disadvantageous position.

”Although Iʼm long acquainted with him, the judgement I gave today was fair and above board, with no hints of biasness at all. You want me to resign as the priestess? What do you mean by that?” Bai Qingʼs countenance instantly grew cold as she stared at that priest.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Qing seemed to become another person entirely, transformed back into that noble-like and high up priestess of the Judiciary Devil Hall.

Her beautiful eyes swept over to the Child of Darkness, ”You defied the will of the sovereign, selfishly obstructing people from entering the Saint Devil Hall and even had the intention to kill. Whatʼs so sad is that you were actually defeated. Itʼs fine that you lost, but as the Child of Darkness, you donʼt even know shame, allowing your devil king protector to act to kill the opponent who defeated you, I expelled you from here, barring you from entering the Saint Devil Hall ever again. What is the problem with my judgement? Where did you get the courage to talk so much nonsense?”

The expression of the Child of Darkness changed. This Bai Qing was simply ruthless.

”You are not simply acquainted with this man, right? See how intimate both of you are, he is most probably your secret lover. As a priestess of the Judiciary Devil Hall, how dare you claim your judgement is fair in this scenario?”

When Qin Wentian heard that, he couldnʼt help but to coldly look at the Child of Darkness. ”I received the approval from the Myriad Devil Sovereign after passing through the test to ascend the mountain, bringing with me a heart filled with reverence for him. Yet I encountered countless obstacles blocking me from going up the peak. Is this the true attitude of the Devil Mountain? Do you guys, experts of the Devil Mountain, show any respect to the will of the sovereign at all? The Child of Darkness even dared to say such bullshit, wanting to slander others to save his own reputation. How pitiful is this? The Darkness Devil Hall is one of the four original halls. Itʼs truly a shame that they confer upon you the title of a Child of Darkness.”

”Wu. From today onwards, you are no longer a Child of Darkness.” At this moment, a voice rang out from afar, extremely calm-sounding, announcing the final judgement for the Child of Darkness!
