Chapter 39 Don't Trust Others Easily
Sui Yu looked up and saw that the woman was wearing a silver-gray fairy robe that she couldn't see through, her hair was casually tied up, and her face was also gray and not very clear.
Sitting on a tree branch, one leg bent and the other dangling in the air, swaying from time to time, with one elbow resting on the bent leg, propping up her cheek, she tilted her head and looked over with a smile.
The moonlight made her face even less visible, but Sui Yu could clearly see her genuine smile.
She was unlike any other human Sui Yu had ever met. Those humans all appeared genuine, but after a while, their hearts were all fake. As for that girl, her heart was empty…
The person in the tree seemed to be fake, but Sui Yu saw half of her sincerity and half of her emptiness.
Where did she lose that half of her heart that was empty?
Sui Yu couldn't help but think.
"Is that you, sister?"
Sui Yu's question was too sincere.
"No, you'll meet soon. If you don't mind, I can take you to her. If you do mind..."
"do not mind."
"..."
I was just being polite. Are you really not afraid I'll sell you out?
Sui Yu rolled ashore and said very seriously, "Let's go."
"..."
There's no need to be that efficient.
Liu Xingxing jumped down from the tree and walked towards her. Looking at her still indistinct face, Sui Yu became even more certain that this human had used a disguise technique and that she didn't actually look like this.
Since Sui Yu isn't being polite, why should she be? But Lu Xihan should have just run into Wei Qiushuang and the others. The show has only just begun, why is she causing trouble?
"I can take you there, but you have to revert to your original form. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to the villagers. That woman knows what you used to look like. If you mind..."
"do not mind."
Without saying a word, Sui Yu transformed back into her original form, a palm-sized piece of green jade with a small chip in it.
"..."
Is it really okay for you to trust me so much? It's making her lose confidence.
Liu Xingxing sighed and remained silent for a while. Mu quickly picked up the jade stone and put it in his pocket, glancing at the distant east with an unreadable expression.
The air was filled with a faint aura of the demon race, which might not be noticed if one did not look closely.
"Oh ho, everyone's here..."
Liu Xingxing murmured almost imperceptibly, then vanished in a flash, leaving only a few blades of grass swaying on the ground.
……
Lu Xihan never expected that despite all her efforts to hide, Wei Qiushuang would still appear in this place.
Is it really impossible to change?
She has already obtained the "Marrow Cleansing" technique, and she is only one step away from obtaining the Suiyu Essence. She cannot back down!
Yu Yunyang was still glaring at Su Jiangling with a sour face, while Xiao Yiyi was also on guard against Wei Qiushuang.
Wei Qiushuang seemed quite at ease, even having time to chat with the disciples of Thousand Caves who followed her.
"What are you doing here!" Xiao Yiyi said irritably.
The one who answered was a disciple who was with us: "Senior Sister Wei already said it once. We just came down the mountain for training and happened to meet a fellow cultivator from Thousand Caves who asked for help, so we helped them investigate. Hey, who knew we'd run into the three of you?"
"Exactly, it's not like we're stalking you."
Another junior sister spoke up, seemingly referring to Lu Xihan from a few days ago.
"We accepted the mission assignment, and now you're saying it's the same perpetrator? Wei Qiushuang, are you trying to steal the credit?!"
Xiao Yiyi retorted, not to be outdone.
Wei Qiushuang frowned slightly, clearly displeased.
Su Jiangling noticed this too, stepped forward and pulled her behind him to shield her, then looked at Lu Xihan with gentle eyes, but a hint of impatience that she tried to hide in her eyes was also evident.
“Junior Sister Lu, we were just helping the fellow immortals of Thousand Caves Cave, and there was no question of us taking credit for them. Also, Junior Sister Xiao, I was the one who spoke up first, and it has nothing to do with Qiu Shuang. You shouldn’t have spoken to her like that. Moreover, in the Xuanshan Sect, you should also call Qiu Shuang Senior Sister.”
"Tch, hypocrite."
At this moment, Yu Yunyang spoke first.
Lu Xihan looked at him, her smile sarcastic: "So what does Senior Brother Su plan to do? Hand over the murderer to them? What about my mission? Failure means a penalty of half the commission, half, you know..."
Su Jiangling remained silent for a while, and several pairs of eyes stared at him.
He helped Qiankudong but harmed his fellow disciples. When he returns, he will surely be talked about by his fellow disciples. He helped the outer sect but not his fellow disciples, which will also implicate Qiushuang.
Qiu Shuang was the one who suggested helping out, but she didn't expect to get involved with Lu Xihan and the others. Now that he's taken on the responsibility, he's caught in a dilemma.
"Xi Han, Qiu Shuang is your senior sister..."
The meaning couldn't be clearer, but Lu Xihan still felt a chill.
Don't call her that, she can't take it.
If the original owner were here, she would be overjoyed. This must be the first time Su Jiangling has called her by her name like this. Unfortunately, she is not the original owner.
Since you are so heartless, you still expect me to be righteous and honorable in order to enhance your reputation? Su Jiangling, you really are something else!
Lu Xihan gave a deep laugh, then turned into a lovestruck smile.
"Since Brother Ling has said so, what else can I do? We'll just give in."
Sure enough, as long as she was given even the smallest benefit, she would eagerly take it, which put Su Jiangling at ease.
Lu Xihan's smile suddenly became less infatuated: "However... it seems that my master, Venerable Yuefu, only took me as his disciple, and there are no senior sisters. Logically speaking... it wouldn't be too much for you all to call me 'Shishu' (a term of respect for senior sisters).
"Is that so, Junior Nephew Wei?"
Lu Xihan was still smiling.
Wei Qiushuang's eyes darkened, and her hands, hidden in her wide sleeves, unconsciously clenched. Then, she raised her gentle face and smiled, "Uncle-Master is right. Senior Brother Su misspoke. But, Uncle-Master, do you still take what you just said seriously?"
Lu Xihan raised her eyebrows, her smile unchanged.
"Natural calculations will take place."
It seems Wei Qiushuang isn't as boring as I thought; she's quite tolerant, no wonder she's the female lead.
Lu Xihan looked at Wei Qiushuang, who had her back turned, with even more admiration.
Wei Qiushuang said warmly to the disciples of Thousand Caves, "Alright, fellow immortals of Thousand Caves, let's go capture them."
……
No one knew how exciting the confrontation had been, but Liu Xingxing, who was sitting two miles away watching the drama unfold, saw it all clearly. And the second half was even more exciting.
The two female leads had only recently separated after a brief confrontation. While one side was enacting a drama of immortals capturing demons, the other side was starting a melodramatic soap opera about a domineering demon lord falling in love with me.
Lu Xihan gave a few instructions to the two people who were following him and then left for the time being.
The book says that the Jade Spirit is hiding in this area of the stream. Lu Xihan went upstream to investigate, but when he reached the source, he still found nothing.
"Am I too late?"
Lu Xihan was somewhat disappointed and was about to go back to explore again when a figure emerged from the forest.
Lu Xihan immediately went on guard, took out several Swiftness Talismans to prepare to escape immediately, but the next second the Swiftness Talismans were snatched away, and the spiritual power in his hands was suppressed so that he could not use it at all.
A suffocating pressure rushed towards the entrance, and Lu Xihan was restrained and unable to move. He cursed inwardly.
How could she forget that so many people were after the Jade Spirit? There couldn't possibly be only one succubus. She wasn't the female lead; she didn't have that much luck on her side.
"Human cultivators? They're really weak."
The ethereal voice pulled her back to reality.
Lu Xihan was carelessly left behind.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
It took a while before I could really see what this person looked like.
This person was dressed in a long crimson robe, with a slender figure. A black hairpin held back his waterfall-like black hair, which looked casual and languid. There was a strand of silver hair at his temple, which looked like it had been dyed. His face was even whiter and deeper under the moonlight. His eyes were lifeless and endless darkness, like a stagnant pool that had been silent for ten thousand years. The demonic aura that was not concealed all over his body also told his identity.
Lu Xihan exclaimed in disbelief, "Demon Lord Qing Liye?"
Qing Liye stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at her: "You recognize me?"
With that oppressive aura, that demonic energy, and that wisp of taint, it's hard not to recognize it.
Demon Lord Qing Liye is the most prominent figure in the female protagonist's harem. His existence perfectly embodies the saying: "He looks like a god, but his methods of tormenting people are more venomous than a scorpion, and they are endlessly vicious."
This guy is the epitome of a pervert, and he tortured the original owner the most cruelly.
She wanted to stay far away from him, preferably never to get involved with him again—that was Lu Xihan's only thought at that moment.
The instinct for survival forced Lu Xihan to calm herself down, but her body trembled under the powerful pressure, and she couldn't even look the person in the eye.
"What could possibly warrant your personal appearance? The three sects probably don't even know you're here, especially on Xuanshan Sect's territory."
Qing Liye glanced at her lazily, raised his hand slightly, and Lu Xihan was pulled close again and had her neck grabbed by the neck.
