Chapter 32

◎What did he do wrong?◎

Jing Shuxing doubted if he had gone mad.

After hearing a familiar voice, he shamelessly reached out towards the direction of Chi Lu, as if forgetting the pain all over his body.

As if in the next moment, there would be a warm palm overlapping with his.

Naturally, no one responded to him.

He sighed unconsciously, and the forgotten pain surged all over his body again. Just a small movement just now caused the spiritual power in his body to overflow, gathering into an invisible force pulling him up.

“Be careful!”

Chi Lu saw Jing Shuxing retreating step by step, looking like he would fall at any time, and quickly grabbed his wrist.

Separated by a thin layer of sleeve.

Even separated by a layer of fabric, the moment she touched Jing Shuxing, Chi Lu’s mind was still uncontrollably filled with Ying Lianyi’s nagging.

What “a profligate”, “a debauchee”, all rushed into her ears, buzzing in her mind.

Chi Lu helped Jing Shuxing to sit on the couch properly, and like touching a hot iron, she quickly let go of her hand and consciously stepped back three steps.

She heard Jing Shuxing ask in confusion, “Did I offend you somewhere?”

“Of course not.” It’s me who offended you.

Chi Lu subconsciously shook her head like a rattle drum, and in order to maintain her dignity, she even started to shift the blame flexibly: “It’s all because the Young sect leader made me do this.”

Caught off guard by her words, Jing Shuxing couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

He frowned, “Young lady, you practice the Linghua Sect’s method, and your strength is indeed a bit inadequate, but in terms of talent and purity of spiritual power, your cultivation is not inferior to the Young sect leader herself. Moreover, you have defied his will many times before, why did you change so quickly this time…”

“What changed?” Before he finished speaking, he was denied by Chi Lu, “I’m not, I didn’t.”

Jing Shuxing leaned on the soft pillow, his mood fluctuated for a moment. The pain all over his body was like being gnawed by millions of ants, but it became a good medicine to comfort him, allowing Jing Shuxing’s brain to turn clearly.

Could it be that he did something wrong somewhere, inadvertently angered her, and she found such a poor excuse out of face.

If it weren’t for her kindness in helping him, she(The Young sect leader) probably wouldn’t even be able to touch him today.

“Are you okay? Did the Young sect leader go too far, making you unable to bear it all at once?” Seeing that Jing Shuxing did not answer her, Chi Lu suddenly became anxious, fearing that he would turn against her in the next second and harshly criticize her for all the improprieties she had committed along the way.

After much thought, she finally broke the silence timidly.

Jing Shuxing suddenly came back to his senses from his thoughts, savored Chi Lu’s words, and laughed dumbfoundedly.

It was because the warmth he had received over the past decade or so was too little, which made him lose his mind. To him, Chi Lu’s retreat was like the spiritual power being drawn out of his body, extremely uncomfortable.

Jing Shuxing shook his head, indicating that it was okay, which was considered a reply to Chi Lu.

He forced himself to get up, took several deep breaths in succession, and after his breath stabilized, he asked Chi Lu, “What does the maid who just came look like?”

“You mean Yun Pianpian?” Chi Lu was surprised.

When she learned the real name of the maid, she was shocked once, and even now when she thinks back, she still can’t help but feel surprised.

And she once again criticized the plot provided by the system, which was simply full of loopholes.

In the book 《Heavenly Fate》, Yun Pianpian is the childhood sweetheart of the male lead, Jing Luoyun. The two grew up together, and when they were only eighteen, they privately decided to spend their lives together. Who knew that before they could report it to the city lord, Fengyue City was destroyed by Jing Shuxing.

The two of them happened to be traveling in the mortal world, so they narrowly escaped a disaster.

Afterwards, Yun Pianpian served as Jing Luoyun’s wise helper. As an eloquent and understanding flower, she accompanied him all the way, taking care of all the matters behind him, helping him to revive his sect, breaking through the void, and ascending before her.

She can be described as a selflessly dedicated gentle little white flower.

Chi Lu never associated her with that low-level maid. When she realized Yun Pianpian’s identity and went back to look at the original text, she read a bit of the master-servant tone from it.

She reported Yun Pianpian’s name to Jing Shuxing, but before she could describe what she looked like, Jing Shuxing murmured a word in a very low voice: “As expected.”

His voice was too soft, floating to Chi Lu’s ears, like two sighs.

“What did you say?” She asked subconsciously.

Jing Shuxing shook his head slightly, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

After Jing Luoyun and the others left, Jing Shuxing released his divine consciousness and secretly followed them. But his spiritual power was thin, even if he squeezed hard, he couldn’t squeeze out much. Just in the last moment, his spiritual power completely lost control, and Yun Pianpian’s trace also disappeared from his sea of consciousness.

“You have to be careful of her, Yun Pianpian is not the kind of person who would willingly accompany Jing Luoyun in his nonsense.” Jing Shuxing warned Chi Lu.

Yun Pianpian didn’t realize that someone was stalking her. Since she parted ways with Jing Luoyun, she has been moving around Fengyue City in a gentle manner.

To outsiders, she was too ordinary and common. Her cultivation had just passed the foundation stage, and she was the lowest-ranking maid. A casual stroll in Fengyue City would drown her in the crowd.

She walked all the way to the highest peak of Fengyue City and entered the secret passage under the nine-story tower.

Jing Yi, Lady Ning, and two other elders from Fengyue City were waiting for her in the secret passage. To be precise, City Lord Jing Yi was not present. Perhaps he thought this matter was not important, so he only left a communication phantom, and he himself was still focused on cultivation.

In the center, a cultivator was kneeling, foaming at the mouth, and had long lost his senses. Two soul-searching monsters were lying on him, constantly searching for images in his mind.

Yun Pianpian’s gaze passed over the others and landed directly on Jing Yi’s phantom. “Reporting to the City Lord, I have investigated clearly. The Red Soul Whip on Chi Lu, the Young sect leader of Linghua Sect, is no different from the whip in this Daoist friend’s memory.”

As soon as her voice fell, Lady Ning’s sharp voice interjected, “Are you sure?”

“Yi Lang, it’s clear that Chi Lu has intentions towards my son. After being rejected, she was angry and ashamed, and wore a fake mask to humiliate Yun’er.” Her eyes were shining, “Yun’er… Yun’er(Jing Luoyun) is still very excellent.”

No one responded.

The two other elders ignored Lady Ning and started their own discussions.

“So it seems…” A middle-aged man said in a deep voice, “Could it be that Jing Xiangtian also fell victim to her? But the strength of Linghua Sect is far inferior to ordinary sects. How did she manage to destroy the corpse without anyone noticing?”

“If not her, then who?” Another beautiful woman answered, “Otherwise, did Jing Xiangtian run away?”

She laughed loudly after speaking, as if she had told a great joke.

Jing Yi, who had been silent all along, spoke up, his voice full of indifference: “In that case, invite her to the Xuan You Tower in advance.”

He didn’t take this matter to heart. To Jing Yi, Chi Lu and the others were all items that could be summoned and dismissed at will. Everyone in Fengyue City was under his control, and there was no need to spend too much thought.

“You two, find time to bring her here.” After issuing the order to the two elders, the phantom disappeared.

Only Lady Ning was left, still trying to take credit in front of the air: “My son…”

The female elder smiled and beckoned, and the soul-searching monster spat out its long tongue and moved away from the cultivator. The cultivator’s body fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes wide open, obviously he was not going to survive.

“The Young sect leader of Linghua Sect.” She(the female elder) and another person looked at each other, with a cunning flash in their eyes, “I can’t wait to see what kind of secret treasures she has in her mind.”

The author has something to say:

Little Jing: Let’s set off fireworks! (Cheers)
