Jiang Yuetong chuckled and shook her head, saying calmly, "Then it's probably too late."

"What do you mean?" Yi Ci asked, puzzled, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

“Wen Tian, ​​one of the four hall masters under my command, was expelled from Huanhai Prefecture this morning for theft. When the Grand Elder and the others found out, they took action, and she died in the street in less than an hour.”

Upon hearing this, Yi Ci frowned and said matter-of-factly, "If you can't bear to take action, someone else will help you, but why are you telling me this?"

She has always disliked outsiders interfering in her affairs, and you can't even ask her questions, but what's wrong with her today?

Jiang Yuetong was deliberately stalling for time, thinking that the Grand Elder and the others might have already caught Wu Ran. She smiled slightly and said, "Guess who she stole the pills for?"

Yi Ci's expression changed slightly, and without thinking, he said directly, "Impossible! How could Wu Ran be involved with your people?"

Despite saying that, he turned and quickly left.

Watching his receding figure, Jiang Yuetong's lips curled into a cold smile.

Wu Ran was someone Yi Ci had taken in and raised since childhood, and had worked alongside him for many years. Now that Wu Ran is gone, he probably won't be around for quite some time.

"How much longer do you want to see the moon?"

A sour voice came from behind me.

Jiang Yuetong turned her head and gave him a cold glance, then snorted, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. From now on, mind your own business, or go back to your demon clan!"

Lu Jingliang walked towards her with a gentle smile on his face: "Yes, madam."

Jiang Yuetong frowned slightly, but did not refute.

"Come here." He said, then turned and left.

Lu Jingliang raised his eyebrows slightly, his captivating eyes fixed on her back as he walked towards her with steady steps.

"They're here!"

...

Inside Wangxi Pavilion, Jiang Yuetong sat elegantly and dignifiedly in a chair, looking at the person opposite her with a serious expression.

Lu Jingliang was being scrutinized by her with a calm expression.

Neither of them spoke, and the surroundings were silent, but they didn't feel awkward; instead, there was a hint of ambiguity.

The main problem was that Lu Jingliang's eyes were filled with ill intent, and Jiang Yuetong quickly lost her temper and said bluntly, "Why did you ask Yao Yao for herbs when you first arrived?"

Lü Jingliang: "..."

Judging from that serious little expression, it was as if he was about to be asked if he had any ulterior motives.

"There are two reasons. First, I really don't have any herbs to refine pills. Second, even if I had the white jade bracelet, you would probably still kick me out if I didn't ask her to intercede for me."

Jiang Yuetong blinked, then remembered that she had taken all of Lü Jingliang's wealth.

Now that he has left the Wanchuan Forest alone, if he doesn't take the money from the Demon Clan's treasury, Lü Jingliang is poorer than a beggar. Even if he gets any treasures later, he will probably have used them all up while being hunted down.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared before her in such a disheveled state.

As for his second reason, Jiang Yuetong thought about it carefully and realized that she had indeed considered driving him away at the time.

After all, she had no recollection of it and thought it was just a tragic love affair. Since Lu Jingliang returned the white jade bracelet, she would just give him something as a small compensation and that would be the end of it.

Who would have thought that her memory would return?

Jiang Yuetong's expression was somewhat complicated. She looked up at him and coughed awkwardly, "Then what do you still want to do by my side? We've already..."

He didn't say the rest because Lü Jingliang's expression looked a little off.

Jiang Yuetong felt a little uneasy.
