Chapter 543 Situ Luan’s Identity Revealed
543 Situ Luan’s Identity Revealed
“Hmm?” Yu Mei frowned when Situ Lian used her technique on her; she could feel something invading her mind and subconscious.
Luckily, Ling Xi had already imparted a technique to Yun Mei, or else she would have experienced the same thing with Nalan Qing earlier.
“Your technique doesn’t work on me.” Yu Mei said as she shook her head.
Situ Luan was dumbfounded after hearing that. ‘What happened? Why isn’t she affected by my technique?’
Seeing that, Yu Mei immediately jumped into the sky and used her Ice Qi, and ten ice spears appeared behind her. She waved her hand, and the ice spears shot toward Situ Luan at lightning speed.
“Shit!” Situ Luan cursed as she activated her Qi, and a firewall surrounded her, melting Yu Mei’s ice spears.
However, Situ Luan didn’t have time to feel relieved, for Yu Mei had already attacked her again with several other ice spears.
“Tch!” Situ Luan gritted her teeth, created a bow of Fire Qi, and shot several fire arrows toward the ice spears. Their attacks collided directly, causing a considerable wave of Qi to blast all around.
Yu Mei raised her eyebrows when Situ Luan suddenly disappeared, but she was startled by her voice coming from behind. “I admit your strength is much higher compared to the last competition, but you won’t be able to beat me just like that.”
Before she could react, Situ Luan had already pressed her palm against Yu Mei’s back, and there were several needles between her fingers. “Ahh!” 𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
Afterward, Yu Mei lost control of herself, causing her to quickly fall to the ground, and her body became very strange. She felt her body become extremely hot from within, and her secret garden became wet. ‘Damn it! I should have guessed that she would definitely cheat! She must have injected something into me!’
Before Yu Mei hit the ground, Situ Luan was already below her and smirked slightly; she then created a fiery whip and slashed it at her back.
Situ Luan’s strike hit Yu Mei squarely on her back, tearing the back of her dress, and she groaned in pain. “Gah!”
After that, Situ Lian’s fire whip bound her feet, but Yu Mei directly used her Ice Qi to protect her feet.
However, Situ Luan immediately spun her around midair and shot several other needles at Yu Mei, which directly stabbed into her back.
“Gah!” Yu Mei became increasingly out of control, and her mind was quickly clouded with lust, for Situ Luan’s needles were already covered in aphrodisiacs. ‘Shit! At this rate, I will lose to her!’
After all, the current Situ Luan was different from the old her, for Lu Wan’er had already taught her how to fight as a dual cultivator, and she had also given her many things that could help her deal with other cultivators, even if she had to act underhanded.
Situ Luan’s actions did not escape Feng Ruxue, Xuanyuan Xue’er, and Long Wei’s scrutiny. However, neither said anything, for such things were common among cultivators.
*Bam*
“Argh!” Yu Mei screamed in pain as Situ Luan slammed her on the ground hard, and a lot of blood spurted from her mouth, causing her to crumple. The pain brought her back to her senses, but she still couldn’t escape the aphrodisiac’s effects. ‘Ugh! I can’t stand this anymore!’ “I didn’t expect you would use underhanded means against me!”
“Heh.” Situ Luan snorted, pulled Yu Mei towards her, and wrapped her fire whip around her neck. “We are cultivators, and all tactics are fair in battle. Do you expect your enemies to fight you fairly?”
“You- Argh!” Yu Mei didn’t have the chance to curse at her yet, but a fier dagger appeared in Situ Luan’s other hand and directly thrust it into her stomach, causing her to feel great pain, and her consciousness slowly started to fade.
“Argh!” Yu Mei groaned in pain again when Situ Luan pulled the fire dagger out of her stomach, and a fair amount of blood flowed out.
However, just as Situ Luan was about to thrust his fier dagger into Yu Mei’s stomach once again, Ling Xi suddenly appeared above them and activated something that she had instilled into her soul earlier; she then touched the back of her head and altered her memories a bit.
Instantly, Situ Luan’s fire whip and dagger disappeared, causing Yu Mei to fall to the ground, and she immediately used her Ice Qi to seal the wound on her abdomen. However, she was also confused by her opponent’s demeanor, and she looked at her with a confused look, especially after she saw her complicated expression.
“Ugh! What happened to me?” Situ Luan muttered to herself, for she felt confused by the sudden change in her memories. She then held her head and turned towards Lu Wan’er, but her gaze was now filled with hatred, unlike before.
Although Ling Xi had slightly altered Situ Luan’s memories, she had not erased some of her memories with Lu Wan’er, including her dual cultivating with Situ Liang, which made her extremely angry towards her.
After a while, Situ Luan returned to her original form, shocking Yu Mei and the other spectators.
.

Lu Wan’er, who noticed Situ Luan’s strangeness, immediately raised her eyebrows, but she still couldn’t move or speak under the pressure of Ling Xi’s aura. ‘What happened to her? Why is she looking at me with that look? Could it be that the little girl had done something to her?’
Yun Zhu was also confused by the sudden change in Situ Luan’s demeanor, for she had never met a cultivator who could escape the effects of their two potions.
Meanwhile, Su Xin was still oblivious to the strangeness of the two women, for she could not feel Ling Xi’s aura pressing down on them.
Luo Yan, who had just returned to their side, was also still unaware, especially since she kept glancing hatefully at Ling Yun’s women.
.
.
“Luan’er!”
Situ Han and Nie Shuang shouted loudly as soon as they saw their daughter, but just as they were about to move toward Situ Luan, Feng Ruxue immediately stopped them. “They’re still in the arena, so you two can’t go there now.”
“But-”
“Sigh, calm down, Nie Shuang.” Feng Ruxue directly interrupted her. “Your daughter has already been freed from Lu Wan’er’s influence, so you don’t need to worry about her, and she will definitely return to you later.”
Hearing that, Situ Han said to his wife. “Wife, you better listen to Madam Feng’s words, and we only need to wait a little longer to be reunited with our daughter.”
“All right.” Nie Shuang nodded to her, but her eyes never left her daughter’s figure, and tears of joy flowed from the corners of her eyes. “Luan’er… Mother can finally see you again.”
.
.
.
Situ Luan turned to her parents and smiled at them, and she then said to them. “Father! Mother! I’m back!”
Hearing that, Situ Han and Nie Shuang nodded to her with happy smiles, but they still weren’t relieved because their son still hadn’t returned.
Situ Luan squatted beside Yu Mei, took out a pill from her storage ring, and stuffed it into her mouth. “Swallow it; it will neutralize the aphrodisiac in your body.”
Yu Mei nodded and immediately swallowed the pill, and she hurriedly used her Qi to dissolve it, for she felt more and more uncomfortable by its effects. “What happened to you? Why do I feel like you have multiple personalities?”
“Honestly, I do not understand what happened to me, but I’m grateful to be back to being myself again.” Situ Luan replied as she helped Yu Mei up; she then turned to Feng Ruxue. “Madam Feng, I give up this match.”
“You don’t need to blame yourself.” Lian Bing answered Situ Luan with a shake of the head. “I know
you were under Lu Wan’er’s influence before, so it’s natural for you to use such underhanded means.”
Feng Ruxue nodded in agreement and announced the results of the match. “Since Situ Luan decided to give up, the match between them was won by Yu Mei.”
Even so, the spectators didn’t cheer like before, for they were still confused by what was happening in front of them, especially after Situ Luan’s identity was exposed, plus her demeanor had also become different from before.
.
.
.
After that, Situ Luan supported Yu Mei back to where Lian Bing and the others were, and she said to them. “I’m sorry, I’ve used underhanded measures against her.”
“You don’t need to blame yourself.” Lian Bing answered Situ Luan with a shake of the head. “I know you were under Lu Wan’er’s influence before, so it’s natural for you to use such underhanded means.”
“Are you all right now, Luan?” Mu Lingxue asked her.
Situ Luan nodded to her. “Yes, I’ve realized everything that happened before.”
“That’s good.” Mu Lingxue nodded with a smile.
.
.
.
Afterward, Situ Luan walked toward her parents, but she kept glancing at Ling Yun, and her gaze seemed a little strange. ‘What really happened to me? I remember that I only met him once in Feng City.’
“Luan’er!” Nie Shuang immediately pulled Situ Luan to sit in the middle of them, hugged her, and cried loudly. “I… really… happy… my daughter… is back.”
Situ Luan sighed heavily in her heart, hugged her mother, and rubbed her back. “I’m sorry I worried you, Mom. But I’m back now, and I’ll never leave you again.”
Situ Han smiled at seeing them and contacted his parents and parents-in-law, and he informed them of Situ Luan’s return.
Suddenly, Long Wei shouted. “You can rest for three hours before we start the second round.”
