Chapter 469 Your backer is really unlucky
Lingyun Zhenren pondered for a moment and found that what You Bingyue said seemed to make sense.
Shortly after they entered the city, they encountered the two young ladies of the Yuan family. At the time, the two were isolated and helpless. After he resolved the chaos in the city, he took them back to Freedom City.
Thinking it over, he nodded: "If they are grateful, then accept it."
He glanced at You Bingyue and said, "Since you're by my side, you'll definitely encounter many similar situations in the future, so don't feel guilty."
You Bingyue smiled gently: "I will adapt as soon as possible."
She had experienced plenty of situations where she stood next to powerful people.
However, she has no intention of undermining the project.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye and instinctively frowned.
Yu Zhiyi, what is she doing here?
As if thinking of something, she deliberately raised her eyebrows.
This woman probably never dreamed that her elaborate scheme to kill herself would not only fail, but would also help her get involved with a true cultivator.
If that woman finds out the truth, she will be furious.
"Sir, I ran into an acquaintance. I'll be right back."
Following her gaze, Master Lingyun saw that You Bingyue was heading in the direction where Yu Zhiyi was standing, and he subconsciously frowned.
If he remembers correctly, Qingfeng deliberately targeted Yu Zhiyi because of You Bingyue.
These two people have a grudge.
He didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, but he couldn't let anything happen to You Bingyue, so he had to protect her.
You Bingyue had no idea what Lingyun Zhenren was thinking.
In fact, although she had already begun cultivating, she didn't have a deep understanding of the abilities of cultivators. At most, she knew that most cultivators were very powerful, able to fly, and could conjure various spells.
She was unaware that cultivators were all sharp-eyed and keen-eared, and that someone at the level of Lingyun Zhenren could easily pinpoint any movement within a radius of dozens of miles if she wanted to.
Not to mention, these two people weren't far from him.
Therefore, he clearly heard You Bingyue's cold and arrogant voice: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky, surviving being chased by Qingfeng Zhenren for so long."
Yu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow: "Don't you know that Master Qingfeng has already been killed?"
You Bingyue's eyes widened in surprise.
Of course she knew.
Upon learning that Master Qingfeng had been killed but Yu Zhiyi was still alive, she cursed Master Qingfeng in her heart.
If you can't even kill a mere ordinary person, how can you claim to be a cultivator?
Of course, she didn't believe that Yu Zhiyi was responsible for all of this.
Master Qingfeng once said that with his strength, if he weren't afraid of the people of Shengjing, crushing Yu Zhiyi would be as easy as crushing an ant.
From Yu Zhiyi's behavior, she could also guess that Master Qingfeng was not lying, and that Yu Zhiyi was indeed very wary of Master Qingfeng.
The thought had barely formed in her mind when she heard Yu Zhiyi say again, "It's a pity you weren't there, otherwise I would have killed you too."
She clicked her tongue and shook her head, her face full of regret.
You Bingyue stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "What did you say? You killed Master Qingfeng? Impossible!"
The people from the Taixu Sect once asked her to investigate the cause of Qingfeng Zhenren's death. She told them everything she knew, and then they never contacted her again.
Even when Master Lingyun appeared and brought her to the Hidden Realm, he was too silent. Often, she would say a hundred words, but he wouldn't say a single one.
Such a person would be even less likely to reveal any information to him.
Despite her attempts to subtly inquire, she still couldn't find out who had killed Master Qingfeng.
I never expected to encounter Yu Zhiyi's self-disclosure today.
Her first reaction was disbelief.
Yu Zhiyi sneered: "Your backer is the Supreme Elder of the Taixu Sect. If you don't believe me, go and ask him."
Her expression turned cold: "Or do you think that only it's reasonable for Master Qingfeng to kill me, and that I deserve to die?"
"You deliberately brought Master Qingfeng to Shengjing, deliberately exaggerated our grudges to him, and had him back you up. In your expectations, he should have easily killed me. You never thought I would fight back, did you?"
You Bingyue clenched her jaw and did not reply.
Her entire mind was preoccupied with the cause of Qingfeng Zhenren's death, and she had no mind to think about the sarcasm in Yu Zhiyi's words.
“You Bingyue, when we first met you mocked me as a pathetic wretch who relied on the protection of a wealthy family, and said I was ignorant and shallow. Your eyes and brows were full of contempt for me.”
Yu Zhiyi relaxed her body and calm expression, but there was an unspeakable sarcasm in her eyes: "Actually, I don't understand where your sense of superiority comes from?"
"As far as I know, all the expenses you incurred after arriving in Shengjing, and the capital you used for those so-called businesses, were obtained from your male confidants."
"You boast about how capable you are, but after getting the principal, you didn't make a single penny; instead, you lost it all."
"Don't even mention that I've been trying to earn money to support myself since I was ten years old. Even if I didn't have the ability to earn money, even if I really grew up under the love and protection of the Yu family, what right do you have to look down on me?"
"Is it based on those who lost their jobs and lost money because of you, or on Master Qingfeng who was killed by you?"
She crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly: "Now you've set your sights on Master Lingyun..." She smiled: "Have you noticed that every man you've set your sights on has met a bad end?"
"I'm very curious about what kind of fate awaits Master Lingyun."
"Enough!" You Bingyue was furious. "Stop talking nonsense! When have I ever harmed anyone?"
"Those people failed because they weren't skilled enough. What does that have to do with me? As for Master Lingyun, he's at the peak of the Hidden Realm. Who can do anything to him?"
Yu Zhiyi shrugged: "Before you met Master Lingyun, wasn't Master Qingfeng the strongest person you knew? Yet he still died."
You Bingyue felt as if an arrow had struck her chest: "You!"
Yu Zhiyi waved her hand: "Your backer is here, so I won't touch you for now. Remember, stay hidden by his side from now on, and don't come running to me alone again. If you anger me one day, he might not even have time to save you when I explode."
"Yu Zhiyi, you're too arrogant!"
Watching that receding figure, You Bingyue gritted her teeth in hatred: "I've started cultivating too! With my talent, I'll surpass you one day, so don't get too cocky!"
Unfortunately, Yu Zhiyi could no longer hear this sharp retort.
When You Bingyue returned to Ling Yun's side, Ling Yun Zhenren had already withdrawn his gaze, his jade-like face showing no emotional fluctuation.
Unaware that he had overheard all her rants, You Bingyue feigned nonchalance and smiled, "Master, I'm back. The banquet is about to begin, shall we go in?"
She wanted to show that bitch that even though she was weak now, she could still occupy the center position in the crowd.
