Chapter 27 The Scapegoat



Jun Yunyan stopped staring at her, and Bai Suning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment later.

She looked at the bed, and after struggling for a while, she said, "You should sleep here tonight. I'll sleep in my father's room. It's a waste to leave it empty."

"Are you afraid of me?" A trace of deep thought flashed in Jun Yunyan's eyes, and he looked her over.

In the past, Bai Suning would never speak to him in such a tone.

Not to mention this kind of negotiating tone.

"I'm afraid of you?" Bai Suning was panicking, but she pretended to be surprised. "I just want to be nice to you, my husband. Don't let me get too cocky."

Jun Yunyan raised his eyelids and looked at her with eyes that clearly said, is that so?

Bai Suning naturally looked away and started to pick up the teapot and pour water again: "If you don't want to be spoiled, I don't mind treating you with the same attitude as before."

Jun Yunyan stared at her.

Upon closer inspection, the girl's expression was calm and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Could it be that he was really overthinking it?

"We'll be heading up the mountain at the first quarter of the morning," Bai Suning reminded him, her eyes fixed on the cup and teapot in her hands. "Remember to get up early and dress and wash up."

"The flying time up the mountain with a sword will not exceed half an hour, and the summit will not start until noon." Jun Yunyan exposed it mercilessly.

"Don't you know I can't fly with a sword?" Bai Suning felt that this man was too ignorant. If she hadn't known he was a big shot, she would have definitely given him a good beating. "We have to go up!"

She sighed a little when she thought of the steep hill tomorrow.

A dignified sect established in a place like this would not be afraid of not being able to recruit disciples.

Jun Yunyan looked at her with unfathomable eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Bai Suning felt a chill down her spine when he looked at her. She pursed her lips uncomfortably and said casually, "If you don't want to leave, just wait here until we finish the summit and come pick you up."

Jun Yunyan didn't say anything else, didn't even look at her. After hearing what she said, he got up and went to sleep.

Bai Suning's tense heart suddenly relaxed.

Early the next morning.

Before dawn, Bai Suning checked out and hiked up the mountain with Jun Yunyan.

Due to the steepness of the mountain, almost all practitioners who went to attend the summit flew there on swords, which directly led to the difficulty of walking on the mountain road.

At the foot of the mountain.

Bai Suning looked at the road that seemed to have no end, and tears welled up in her heart.

“Who is it?”

A scolding voice suddenly appeared.

Bai Suning looked in the direction of the voice and saw several people wearing the robes of the Chixiao Tower sect standing with swords in their hands. The black and white robes on their bodies were quite visible in the hazy sky.

“Swish!”

"If you don't tell us your names, don't blame us for being rude!" Both men drew their knives.

"Bai Suning from Yuxiao City." Bai Suning announced her name and glanced at the two of them. "Can we go up now?"

"Bai Suning?" One of them asked doubtfully, frowning and looking at his friend, "Do you know?"

Another shook his head: "Never heard of it."

After both of them were sure that the other hadn't heard it, their attitude towards Bai Suning became very bad: "Leave here immediately, or don't blame us for being rude to you!"

"I was invited to the summit by your eldest lady." Bai Suning was particularly helpless. However, it was not the fault of these two people. "If you don't believe me, you can send a message back to Chixiao Tower to ask."

"Stop talking nonsense. Our young lady only knows geniuses from various sects. How could she know a nobody like you?"

"that is."

In response to the two people's complaints, Bai Suning remained silent.

The name Bai Suning is particularly famous in Yuxiao City.

But outside of Yuxiao City, few people knew about it.

"Believe it or not, it was your eldest lady who invited me to attend. If I don't show up on time, it's not me who will be held responsible." Bai Suning was too lazy to talk nonsense and didn't want to waste too much time.

After these words were spoken, the two looked at each other.

Now is a critical period for the summit. If we really delay the visitors, the host will definitely blame us.

Thinking of this.

The man on the left made a decision: "Please wait a moment while we inform the host. Once someone upstairs confirms your identities, we'll let you in."

"Can."

Bai Suning didn't act unreasonably and found a tree to lean against.

Jun Yunyan frowned and said nothing.

The two of them immediately fired flares.

Less than half an hour.

I heard someone coming, and it looked like he was flying on a sword.

"Miss!" The two men saluted and shouted in unison.

"What's the point of sending out signal flares?" Fang Ye looked at them seriously, his voice extremely serious.

"There are two people here who say that you invited them to attend the summit at Chixiao Tower. We have never heard of their names and cannot be sure of the authenticity of their words, so we specifically asked you to come and confirm it." The guard spoke word by word, very honestly.

In Chixiao Tower, there are different signal flares for different events.

What was just sent out requires someone at Fang Ye's level to handle it.

After Fang Ye heard what they were saying, he looked in the direction they pointed. When he saw Bai Suning and Jun Yunyan, his brows furrowed slightly: "Miss Bai?"

"Miss, do you know him?"

"The second young lady of Yuxiao City has an excellent talent for cultivation." Fang Ye explained.

When they heard that they really knew each other, cold sweat immediately broke out on their foreheads.

When Bai Suning saw that the person coming was Fang Ye, she felt a little embarrassed, but her face was still smiling as before: "I didn't expect they would call you. Such a small matter, and you're still bothering to come all the way here."

"Why are you here?" Fang Ye looked back and forth between them, his brows full of confusion. "Don't we have to go upstairs to get to Chixiao Tower?"

This is a place for those who want to enter Chixiao Tower.

Only those who walk up there on foot are eligible to enter the assessment of Chixiao Tower.

how……

"I just... just walked and walked and walked here." Bai Suning answered casually without further explanation.

Fang Ye didn't ask any more questions, and simply said, "Since we're already here, please come with me, Miss Bai."

Bai Suning: "..."

If she went with her, wouldn't her fear of heights be discovered?

Thinking of this, she refused: "No, I plan to walk up with Jun Yunyan."

"Go up?" Fang Ye seemed to have heard something incredible.

"Yeah." Bai Suning nodded seriously, looking towards Jun Yunyan, and without hesitation, she shifted the blame, "His physique is too poor. Let him climb some mountains and exercise."

Jun Yunyan glanced at her sideways, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.

Bai Suning felt a chill down her spine, but she still maintained a forced expression.
