Chapter 283 The Witch of the Martial World 24
Naturally, no one would want to take it.
Guo Xiao was the first to come to his senses, shaking his head hastily, his eyes filled with deep affection. He took out the red silk from his chest and asked wistfully, "Do...do you still remember me? I..."
Qingyu frowned, her gaze sweeping over the red silk. Then, as if remembering something, she relaxed and teased, "What? Young Master Guo likes this?"
Guo Xiao's ears turned bright red. She didn't dare to look the person opposite her in the eye. Her thin lips were tightly pursed, and she nodded hurriedly, "I like it."
I like you more.
He didn't dare say it aloud, but everyone present understood.
Lin Shinian was the first to be unable to bear it, his gaze following Qingyu's every smile and frown. The more he looked, the deeper his heart fluttered, which made his eyes turn red. But in the end, he still couldn't help but stare at Qingyu.
Lin Shiwan, standing to the side, felt alarmed. She quietly approached Qingyu and said as if asserting her ownership, "This is something I went through a lot of trouble to get and present to Qingyu."
Don't try to make a fuss about it!
Don't even think about doing anything reckless!
Qingyu smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with laughter. "Don't worry, no one will steal it."
After saying that, she lightly touched the cultivation manual with her finger, and a strange light flashed. To everyone's surprise, the cultivation manual was directly ignited, as if starlight dissipated in the air.
"You..." Lin Shiwan's eyes widened, then she immediately stopped, a smile on her face.
It's alright, as long as Qingyu is happy.
Qingyu remained calm, her face radiating righteousness. "In this world, people fight endlessly for cultivation techniques. What's the point of keeping such a source of trouble?"
System: "..." Don't think it didn't see it. Qingyu has already switched the pieces. What was burned was a fake technique!
The others, unaware of this, fell silent for a moment before bursting into praise for Qingyu, showering her with compliments.
As Xue Lingyuan strode into the hall, he glanced around and was quite displeased with the people crowding around him.
He was exhausted from following Qingyu back, and Qingyu hadn't had a chance to rest for long before this group of people eagerly surrounded him.
shameless!
"Qingyu, you haven't been getting enough rest lately. Don't pay attention to them. Go back to your room and rest."
Qingyu nodded slightly. She was indeed quite tired. The days of traveling had left her limbs sore and weak. If it weren't for the chaotic situation outside and her desire to come back and watch the show, she definitely wouldn't have returned.
Unexpectedly, these people surrendered their techniques without even fighting.
She stood up gracefully, glanced around at everyone, and said, "That's the end of it. As for the rest... you can discuss it with the sect leader."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away with Xue Lingyuan, quickly disappearing from sight.
They left the others behind. They wanted to give chase, but the cultists who came from all sides surrounded them, making it clear that they couldn't catch up.
After a long silence, Lin Shinian sighed, shook his head with a bitter smile, and said, "It turns out we are all just pawns in someone else's game."
Lin Shiwan seemed lost in thought, while Guo Xiao gazed in the direction where Qingyu had disappeared and muttered to himself, "So what? Being able to stay by her side as a pawn is a blessing in itself."
Lin Shinian was speechless.
----------
After Hua Wuyi returned, the followers briefly recounted the events, embellishing the story and exaggerating the wrongdoings of those individuals while showering Qingyu with praise.
To them, Qingyu was beautiful and kind-hearted, and had absolutely no faults!
Therefore, the destruction of the cultivation technique was also the fault of that group!
Hua nodded indifferently. Now the Demonic Sect has seized the initiative, and the court's conspiracy will automatically fail in a few months. Although that technique is indeed powerful, it cannot compare to Qingyu's smile.
If it's worth it, that's fine.
However, those few people could not stay in the Demonic Sect. They either had to continue working for him and resolving the conflict between the martial arts world and the Demonic Sect, or they had to get out of there.
This is a choice that Hua Wuyi has made for everyone.
Guo Xiao did not hesitate to continue working for Hua Wuyi, as long as he could stay near Qingyu, he was willing to do anything.
He was captivated the first time he saw Qingyu, and now he is completely infatuated. Even if it means leaving the Guo family, he will still be with her!
Furthermore, given what his father did, he had no intention of going back.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Shinian made the same choice. He wanted to explore the inexplicable feelings he had for Qingyu deep in his heart.
At the same time, he wanted to investigate the truth behind the Demonic Cult's killing of the Lin family, and after meeting Qingyu, he felt it was necessary to investigate.
He didn't want to become enemies with Qingyu.
Although Lin Shiwan was unwilling to let the others stay, she had no choice but to stay as well, trying to protect the beauty.
The Demonic Sect suddenly gained several capable henchmen, but Hua Wuyi was not happy. Instead, she was already planning when everything would settle down and she would drive everyone away.
Although Qingyu didn't know the general outline of everyone's thoughts, she could basically guess them, so it wasn't surprising.
She has many suitors.
hum~
Life became much simpler after that. Qingyu basically spent her days watching the drama unfold. Most of the main and supporting characters sided with Qingyu, and they were very justified in protecting the Demonic Sect. First, Xue Lingyuan used his power to dismiss some of the court's ministers, and then the court clashed with some of the leaders of the martial arts world.
The sect leaders had many disciples, and soon they caused trouble among the common people, further damaging the imperial court's reputation.
Finally, the Emperor intervened and issued some policies, no longer restricting martial arts practitioners from entering and leaving the capital, and eliminating the need for them to pay fees. However, at the same time, martial arts practitioners were required to abide by the law...
A series of reciprocal demands brought a temporary truce between the two sides.
However, the Demonic Cult continues to develop very well. Some people wanted to criticize it, but after visiting the Demonic Cult once, they voluntarily gave up everything and desperately wanted to join the Demonic Cult.
It was clearly a rejection.
Before long, rumors about the saintess's unparalleled beauty spread and became widely known throughout the martial arts world.
Qingyu only learned some things later, such as that Princess Jiayi was not dead, but was controlled by Hua Wuyi and turned into a lowly assassin, ordering her around and extracting all the secrets about the court.
As for the Guo family, Qingyu had never met Guo's father, but Guo Xiao went back once later. After returning, he became much more depressed and gloomy, with more sorrow in his eyes than Lin Daiyu. Yet, he still liked to pretend to be a cheerful and sunny boy in front of Qingyu.
This made Qingyu even more displeased with seeing this person.
I'm filled with negative energy.
Later, the system told her that Guo Xiao had broken ties with her family and almost broke ties with Lin Shinian. The reason was the massacre of the Lin family years ago. Although it was the fault of the former leader, it was Guo Xiao and her husband who angered the Demonic Sect first and sought help from the Lin family, which led to the latter's defeat and death at the hands of the Demonic Sect.
This complex web of relationships made it impossible to bridge the chasm between the Lin siblings and Guo Xiao.
So... the male and female leads broke up?
