"Ye Xiuwen?!" Qin Lingyu didn't expect that the person who suddenly appeared to stop him was actually the first disciple of Lintian Peak, Ye Xiuwen, who always kept his nose in other people's business.
Ye Xiuwen was dressed in white and stood tall in front of Jun Xiaomo. The sword in his hand made a subtle buzzing sound and reflected a cold light. Although Qin Lingyu couldn't see clearly the expression on Ye Xiuwen's face through the curtain, the sword energy just now was not fake. If he hadn't retracted his hand in time, this sword might have cut off half of his palm!
Although Qin Lingyu and Ye Xiuwen are both at the top of the twelfth level of Qi training, in terms of overall strength, he is not as good as Ye Xiuwen. In previous sect rankings, he lost to the sword-wielding Ye Xiuwen. . Ye Xiuwen's swordsmanship is flexible and versatile, and can be used both offensively and defensively. Sometimes even the magicians in the foundation-building stage are no match for him, let alone Qin Lingyu whose cultivation foundation is not stable
Although Qin Lingyu is highly talented, the reason why he was able to reach the peak of level 12 Qi training at the age of twenty-two is closely related to the fact that he was able to obtain a lot of miraculous elixirs. Unlike Ye Xiuwen, who has cultivated his skills step by step through his own efforts. Xi Jinping’s level is simply incomparable. If Jun Xiaomo's identity makes many female cultivators jealous, then Ye Xiuwen's strength also makes many male cultivators of similar levels jealous.
Qin Lingyu was not willing to lose to Ye Xiuwen every time, but he was not very worried about Ye Xiuwen's existence - Ye Xiuwen, like his master Jun Linxuan, was a cultivator who focused on cultivation and did not have many connections or power. Qin Lingyu felt that people like Ye Xiuwen who didn't know how to work hard would die at the hands of others sooner or later, so there was no need to worry about it.
But Qin Lingyu never thought that if he could defeat ten groups with one force, all the conspiracies and tricks would be impossible to carry out when the power disparity was too great.
What's more, Ye Xiuwen is not the kind of fool who easily falls into other people's traps.
Seeing Ye Xiuwen standing in front of Jun Xiaomo, Qin Lingyu frowned, wondering when the two people had such a good relationship. Many of the elixirs in Qin Lingyu's storage ring were given by Jun Xiaomo. Naturally, he didn't want to see Jun Xiaomo's thoughts falling on others.
However, he was obviously disappointed this time.
"Senior Brother Ye!" Jun Xiaomo happily ran to Ye Xiuwen's side, hugged his arm that was not holding the sword, and raised the corners of his lips in a big arc. He looked up at Ye Xiuwen with eyes that were filled with tears. Full of bright sunshine, her curved eyelashes let people see her good mood at a glance.
Compared with the attitude towards Qin Lingyu just now, it was completely different.
Ye Xiuwen put his sword into the sheath, turned his head, and looked into Jun Xiaomo's bright eyes. He was slightly startled, then sighed and said helplessly: "You are sure that I will always be watching, so Are you so willful and random?"
If he hadn't taken action just now, or if he hadn't been present today, Jun Xiaomo would have been seriously injured again.
Jun Xiaomo stuck out his tongue and said to Ye Xiuwen: "Absolutely, but I didn't know that Qin Lingyu was so intolerant of provocation. He would become so angry after just a slight flirtation."
The veins on Qin Lingyu's forehead twitched: Is this called "gently teasing"? ! He dug into Jun Xiaomo's body with cold eyes.
As if he guessed Qin Lingyu's thoughts, Jun Xiaomo let go of Ye Xiuwen, crossed his arms and showed a mocking smile to Qin Lingyu, and said: "Isn't this considered a 'gentle tease'? I didn't put those two I gave you the fifth-grade Guiyuan Pill, and I just used words to stimulate you. Did I do something to you, or did I hurt your life? And you, it was because you failed to get the Guiyuan Pill that you acted like Who wants to take my life is more outrageous!"
Qin Lingyu's mind gradually calmed down, and he finally understood that he had almost caused trouble just because of his impulse.
If he hurt someone else in the sect, it wouldn't be a big problem. After all, the other party was at fault first. But the person he almost hurt just now was Jun Xiaomo. With Jun Linxuan and Liu Qingmei's protective temperament, he would definitely not be able to bear the consequences!
Thinking of this, a slight chill came from Qin Lingyu's back.
"And..." Jun Xiaomo added, "Qin Lingyu, ask yourself, are the elixirs and spiritual weapons I gave you before still enough? I even broke through the forbidden area for you and almost died there! And! What about you? If you even half remembered how good I was to you in the past, how could you have killed me without hesitation just now!"
At the end of the sentence, the sarcasm in Jun Xiaomo's eyes gradually faded away and turned into deep indifference.
This is a kind of sobriety and indifference after completely burning away the previous feelings.
Qin Lingyu met Jun Xiaomo's eyes that had been devoid of all love. There was a deep black silence inside, like a bottomless pit that could suck people's souls in, and like a mirror that showed the ugliest part of themselves. All aspects of it were illuminated.
A very uncomfortable feeling arose inexplicably in his heart. Qin Lingyu originally thought that no matter what he did, Jun Xiaomo would stupidly stay there and wait for him to look back like a charity, and would also stupidly treat him Everything you want is given with both hands, without any complaints.
Unexpectedly, just after being punished for trespassing into a forbidden area, Jun Xiaomo seemed to wake up overnight, and he could no longer find love for himself in his eyes. Qin Lingyu originally thought that this was only temporary, and no one would suddenly say that he had no feelings, so he had no feelings. But now it seems that Jun Xiaomo really did it.
Qin Lingyu often thought that this engagement was not what he wanted and that Jun Xiaomo was not good enough for him. He also thought that one day he would find a way to end the engagement after taking advantage of Jun Xiaomo. But he never thought that Jun Xiaomo would be the first to withdraw and turn his back on this hard-won engagement.
Forcibly dispersing the discomfort in his heart, Qin Lingyu decided to resolve the incident first, lest Jun Xiaomo would directly report the matter to Liu Qingmei or Jun Linxuan.
After brewing his emotions for a while, Qin Lingyu said to Jun Xiaomo in as calm and sincere a tone as possible: "Xiaomo, I'm sorry, I was too reckless just now. In fact, you are right, I took all this for granted. You are right My goodness, I will never forget it. During this period, we were both too busy with our own affairs and failed to communicate properly, which seemed to have caused a lot of misunderstandings. Can we find a time to have a good chat? "
Jun Xiaomo glanced at Qin Lingyu mockingly, raised his chin and said, "Okay, since you want to talk, it's better to wait for another day. Let's finish all the 'talk' here today."
Qin Lingyu looked at Ye Xiuwen, who was standing next to Jun Xiaomo, and said, "Since this is a matter between the two of us, please ask Brother Ye to stay out of the way."
He felt that Jun Xiaomo's indifference towards him and his enthusiasm towards Ye Xiuwen were particularly annoying. In the past, Jun Xiaomo always hung around him, but now it seemed as if he was in another relationship.
This discomfort has nothing to do with jealousy, it's just that Qin Lingyu's self-esteem prevents him from accepting the fact that his fiancée "cheated". He has been favored and pestered by female cultivators inside and outside the sect, and he is extremely confident in his charm. How could he imagine that Jun Xiaomo would fall in love with someone whose appearance was ruined and who did not even dare to reveal his true face?
Ye Xiuwen glanced at Qin Lingyu indifferently and said, "I'd better stay here. It would be bad if Junior Brother Qin accidentally takes action because of your 'recklessness'."
Ye Xiuwen is also a protector of shortcomings. Now that he has slowly begun to accept the existence of Jun Xiaomo, a junior sister in his heart, he will not let others bully him easily.
Qin Lingyu was choked by Ye Xiuwen's words, and for the first time he discovered that the other party was also a sharp-tongued master.
"Yes, senior brother is my father's first disciple. He is just like my brother. Naturally, he is also someone close to me. He is not an outsider. So, Qin Lingyu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush. "Yes." Jun Xiaomo said impatiently, feeling that the man in front of him was getting more and more annoying.
Qin Lingyu was irritated by Jun Xiaomo's attitude. He was originally a proud and arrogant person, but now he was embarrassed time and time again in front of Jun Xiaomo, a person whom he originally disliked completely. Even if he apologized in a low voice, He also failed to receive a few kind words from the other party, but kept making trouble for himself. How could Qin Lingyu endure it? !
"Okay, okay, okay!" Qin Lingyu said the word "Okay" several times in a row, and finally couldn't hold back the hypocritical expression on his face. He instantly turned cold and said to Jun Xiaomo: "Jun Xiaomo, since You've already mentioned this, so go ahead and "love each other" with your close senior brother Ye, haha, I just hope you won't say the word "regret" in the future!"
Qin Lingyu knew that Jun Xiaomo was a beauty addict. Although the story of Jun Xiaomo being frightened by Ye Xiuwen's true appearance when he was a child was not widely spread among the sect, it was still somewhat heard.
I'm afraid Jun Xiaomo has completely forgotten Ye Xiuwen's true appearance under that curtain hat, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't stick to it, as if Ye Xiuwen was some rare treasure.
If Jun Xiaomo saw Ye Xiuwen's true appearance under his hat, he would definitely regret rejecting his reconciliation proposal for Ye Xiuwen today.
Qin Lingyu thought calmly, still feeling that Jun Xiaomo would not fall in love with another person in an instant. It was more likely that she just wanted to use Ye Xiuwen to make herself angry.
In this case, there is no need for him to be shy to please the other party, because his self-esteem does not allow it.
After thinking about all this, the anger in Qin Lingyu's heart also dissipated a lot. He finally gave Jun Xiaomo and Qin Lingyu a cold look, turned around and left.
He was waiting for the day when Jun Xiaomo would cry and beg for forgiveness.
"Senior Brother Qin, goodbye, don't come here again no matter what, you are not welcome here~" Jun Xiaomo shouted at Qin Lingyu's back, and then laughed heartily.
Qin Lingyu took bigger steps and walked faster.
Ye Xiuwen shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
