Chapter 295 The World of Amnesia 9
"Crazy" was Qingyu's inner assessment of Rong Jinnian. They had only just met, yet this man was like a peacock, fawning over her every day, which was utterly annoying.
And Lan You is actually his... What exactly does he want to do?
The panic in her heart kept Qingyu silent, only lowering her eyes to watch the unfolding events. Seeing this, Rong Jinnian sighed, his eyes filled with a lingering infatuation that enveloped his entire heart like wisps of smoke.
It's so nice that she's so innocent and shy.
This time, he wanted her to belong entirely to him, and no one else could touch her.
It's just a pity that the male protagonist of this world has some luck, but so what?
Anyone who stands in his way must die.
A cruel and cold smile appeared on Rong Jinnian's lips, which was seen by the person hiding in the shadows.
Before her, Lan You continued to argue, her eyes wide with anger as she roared, "Someone must have framed me!"
"Then produce the evidence!"
Lan You couldn't produce it. He could only remain silent with a stiff face.
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Rong Jinnian suddenly stepped forward. He examined the treasure carefully for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips. "This treasure looks genuine, but it is actually a fake."
The others were shocked. The leading man raised an eyebrow and instinctively wanted to rebuke her, but when he met Rong Jinnian's icy gaze and realized that the other party's cultivation was not low, he finally suppressed his anger and asked, "What makes you say that?"
They just brought this out!
Rong Jinnian scoffed. If he didn't want to get entangled with these people and affect what happened later, he wouldn't have bothered with them.
He immediately took out a jade pendant and gently touched the treasure, and the treasure's radiance instantly diminished.
The crowd was in an uproar.
The people from Lingyin Pavilion looked embarrassed. They knew the properties of the treasures they had taken out, and now they had to admit it too. The one in their hands was fake!
This made them even more panicked! Oh no! They hadn't found one item, and it seemed like the other one was missing too!
The man in the lead gritted his teeth, "Hmph, even so, she is still a suspect."
Rong Jinnian said calmly, "Even if there is suspicion, you should produce evidence... I have always heard that Lingyin Pavilion is fair in price and reasonable in handling affairs, but this is... quite an eye-opener."
Upon hearing this, the man's expression grew even more unpleasant, but he also understood the logic in what he said. After weighing the pros and cons, he still left with his men.
But his eyes held a hint of resentment, suggesting that he would not give up easily.
Lan You breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Rong Jinnian with a hint of gratitude.
Fortunately, the master is smart.
With the matter resolved, everyone made some repairs and prepared to continue their journey.
As for Lan You... she followed Long Aoyu, and the two chatted happily. Before long, they sat down together intimately.
Yun Sisi ignored the situation over there. She had Yun Ruoqing kept under guard, and then ran over to apologize to Qingyu, "I'm sorry, Qingyu, I didn't manage people well and almost got you into trouble."
As she spoke, she took out an extremely beautiful hairpin, which was full of spiritual energy and was clearly not an ordinary item.
"This hairpin suits you very well, please accept it."
Qingyu hesitated for a moment, but seeing Yun Sisi's sincere eyes, she thought it wouldn't hurt to accept the hairpin, so she reached out and took it, saying politely and distantly, "Thank you."
Yun Sisi smiled happily.
After the group set off again, Qingyu always felt that Rong Jinnian's gaze would fall on her from time to time, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Due to previous delays, the team was still behind schedule on the road, but this time they sped along without stopping for long.
Qingyu thought that Long Aoyu would leave with Lan You, but unexpectedly he continued to follow the group. For some reason, there was another woman by Long Aoyu's side, a beautiful but ordinary-looking woman.
The three of them looked happy and harmonious, but Qingyu was speechless and felt that the scene in front of her seemed familiar.
"You've been paying too much attention to him lately." Rong Jinnian's voice suddenly appeared in Qingyu's ear. Smelling the fragrance on the beauty's body, the former's thoughts were in turmoil, and he almost couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart, wanting to hug her into his arms.
Qingyu has been really annoyed lately. It's one thing for Yun Sisi to keep getting close to her, but Rong Jinnian has gone crazy and keeps trying to curry favor with her.
Or just rambling nonsense.
Qingyu's face turned cold, and her eyes darkened slightly. "What's it to you?" After saying that, she hid in the carriage again, finally finding some peace and quiet.
Despite being rebuked, Rong Jinnian's expression remained unchanged; instead, his smile deepened, and the glint of excitement in his eyes vanished in an instant.
------------
After traveling for about a week, Yun Sisi felt no frustration at all. She was even glad that she had promised her father to bring ordinary people with her. Otherwise, if she had flown away on her sword, she probably wouldn't have been able to stay with Qingyu for so long.
She was truly a beauty in the making, and every smile and frown of hers turned the emperor into a tyrant, his mind filled with nothing but Qingyu.
But eventually they were about to reach their destination, and everyone felt a little lighthearted as they approached the Immortal Sect.
But as they walked, a misty forest suddenly appeared ahead, exuding a faint sense of danger.
Everyone stopped in their tracks. Before Yun Sisi could speak, Long Aoyu stepped forward and said, "This forest looks very strange. Everyone, please be careful."
Lan You nodded in agreement.
Yun Sisi's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but feel that her impression of Long Aoyu had worsened. She didn't know what was wrong with this guy; he always seemed to be the leader. If it weren't for the past relationship between the two families, she would definitely have kicked him out.
However, they were almost at the sect, so she didn't bother to argue anymore and explained in a deep voice, "This is a threshold that has been set up. Once you pass through here, you can enter the sect."
The group suddenly realized what was happening. After exchanging glances, some people became worried and immediately stopped and suggested leaving.
Yun Sisi did not stop them. After a moment of panic, the crowd had dwindled to a third.
The remaining people were all those who wanted to enter the territory of the Immortal Cultivation Sect.
Yun Sisi glanced around, then waved her hand, "Let's go!"
After the group entered the forest, they heard all sorts of strange noises.
Qingyu had already been pulled to the front by Yun Sisi to ensure her safety. She wasn't too worried about the terror of the forest. After all, it was the territory of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and they couldn't just set it up to kill people, could they?
However, no sooner had this idea come to mind than suddenly, a group of bat-like but enormous creatures rushed towards them.
Everyone was prepared and took out their weapons to deal with the situation. Qingyu was also a little nervous and clenched her hands.
Rong Jinnian quietly approached Qingyu and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After saying that, he raised his hand and released a powerful force, temporarily repelling the monsters.
Qingyu: "..." She was speechless.
A conspicuous bag.
Qingyu glared at Rong Jinnian, then turned around to help defend against the monster.
Her cultivation level has recently increased, so it's not too strenuous for her.
