Yue Ya'er, who had been kneeling on the execution platform with a heart already turned to ash, felt a surge of overwhelming emotion mixed with deep distress upon seeing Chen Xuan’s face appear in the image. He might very well die here for her sake!
"Is this the person I am meant to kill for my first trial..." Unlike Yue Ya'er, Shen Binglan had only one conviction in her heart since stepping onto the platform: to strictly follow her master's command and execute the new Demon Sect Saint Sovereign, Chen Xuan. As for who this new Saint Sovereign was or what his relationship might be to Yue Ya'er, she cared not.
Moreover, unlike when she first saw Yue Ya'er, no memory fragments were triggered by the sight of Chen Xuan. This was because when Wu Mengyao had erased Shen Binglan’s memories, the parts concerning Chen Xuan had been the most thoroughly wiped. Therefore, even with Chen Xuan standing right before her, Shen Binglan remained completely unmoved.
