"Excuse me, senior brother, did you go out with Miss Su today?" The disciple in white lowered his head, but unconsciously saw Rong Jing's expression with his eyes, and his heart was beating nervously.
Everyone knew Brother Rong Jing's temper. Once he made a decision, he would never change it. Deep down, he held Rong Jing in high esteem. However, they were on a mission, and ever since they'd encountered that enchanting woman on the street, they'd noticed a change in Brother Rong Jing. He was no longer as sharp and composed, and he was often left speechless by that enchanting woman. Everyone was amazed. Was this still the same Brother Rong Jing, the one who was so cold-blooded and never gave anyone a chance to make a move?
For the sake of that woman, he was no longer as smart and calm as before. Their mission was forced to stop because of the appearance of the witch. In the past few days, except for their symbolic tracking, their mission was completely fruitless. It was all thanks to this witch.
That's why they, the brothers, gathered together again today, just to get an answer from Rong Jing.
"Yes. So what?" Rong Jing's voice was low, and it was obvious that his mood had reached the bottom.
The white-robed disciple maintained a respectful demeanor, his once handsome face trembling slightly. Glancing at his fellow apprentices behind him, he mustered his courage and said, "Originally, we have no right to interfere in your affairs, but Miss Su is a demonic Daoist, a member of the Demon King Qian Yue's entourage. She is our greatest bargaining chip against Qian Yue. Senior Brother Rong Jing, you may not kill her, but you absolutely cannot allow her to disrupt our mission again."
These words were reasonable and logical, and the many fellow disciples behind him also agreed after hearing them.
Rong Jing was stunned again. "So what if she's a demon? She used to be from Shenghan Mountain. If she made a mistake, she would naturally be brought back to Shenghan first."
The white-robed disciple bowed his head again, "But Second Master has already said that he has never accepted Su Yin as a disciple. Since there has not been a formal apprenticeship ceremony, then Su Yin cannot be considered a member of my Shenghan School."
"Since she's not from the Holy Cold Sect, then she's a demon. Senior Brother Rong Jing shouldn't spend all his time with demons and forget the real mission of this trip. And what we brothers and sisters want is to kill Su Luoyin right here!"
"Enough!" Rong Jing shouted, clenching his fist and slamming it down on the table. The force was so great that the whole room shook slightly.
"I've never forgotten." Rong Jing's voice suddenly rose. He looked around, realizing he had to give an explanation today. Otherwise, Su Yin's life was in jeopardy. She had already left Qian Yue's side, meaning the golden rune on her head would not pose a threat to her for the time being. But the situation was already very difficult. She had once been a cultivator at Shenghan Mountain, and now she was Qian Yue's leading spiritual practitioner.
He could feign indifference and indifference to her identity and abilities, but if word got out, then she... Fortunately, the former disciples of Shenghan Mountain only harbored vague doubts but never considered Su Luoyin's dual identity. Then, he would have to help her protect this secret.
Having made up his mind secretly, Rong Jing quickly sorted out the whole story in his mind and had an idea in his mind at that moment.
