"Your people?" Su Luoyin repeated in confusion, with a hint of doubt on his face.
Seeing Su Luoyin's expression finally change, Qian Yue felt a surge of joy in his heart. Was she finally not so calm anymore? He hated her like this, as if she was always so indifferent. He really wanted to tear her feigned composure apart and make her return to normal.
"Why, aren't you surprised? Back then, when Xi Chen was trying to steal the ancient jade at Shenghan Mountain, he was injured by the Shenghan Mountain's formation. Although he was lucky enough to be treated by you, Shenghan Mountain also increased its security after that."
"And he escaped unscathed?"
"It's you..." Su Luoyin's face turned pale and she looked up at Qian Yue who was staring at her on the podium.
"I helped him escape and treated him, so naturally he wants to repay me." Qian Yue continued as a matter of course, "Besides, his Xi family and his father submitted to me a hundred years ago."
"So from the moment you met Xichen, you began your plan." Su Luoyin continued Qianyue's words, "So, he knew from the beginning that you had left Shenghan. Everything that followed, from the small things like the Dongcheng family, the Great Dao Demon Realm, and Shenghan Mountain, was slowly planned by you and Xichen."
Qian Yue didn't say anything and didn't comment on Su Luoyin's words.
Yes. I was foolish. Su Luoyin couldn't help but curl her lips in a sarcastic tone, her face turning even paler, as if something inside her had suddenly shattered. She had been so foolish and naive, even helping them hide, even staying by their side as their spiritual cultivator. But as everyone knows, who had ever needed her? Xi Chen? Qian Yue? No, none of them.
She should have thought of it earlier, but what happened that day was too serious. All the disciples of Shenghan Mountain, the two masters Rong Hua and Daosong, and everyone in Shenghan Mountain never mentioned this matter. And she didn't know Qian Yue or Xi Chen at that time. Even after they met and recovered their memories, she never thought of the two together.
Is this the key?
"So, you have a way to cure Xichen's illness, and you will help him." Su Luoyin thought for a moment and suddenly changed the subject.
"This is one of the promises." Qian Yue affirmed calmly.
"But he still found me." Su Luoyin said calmly.
Qian Yue glanced at Su Luoyin lightly, without any annoyance on his face. "It's just adding another bargaining chip for myself. Who would complain about not having enough ways to save their lives?"
"Yeah, who would think it's too little?" Besides her influence on Xi Chen, coupled with her special abilities, how could Xi Chen let her go? Su Luoyin sighed faintly. Even though she knew Xi Chen's true intentions, his scheming, and the depth of his acting, she still couldn't dislike him.
"But can't you see what happened afterwards?" Qian Yue smiled sarcastically and reminded Su Luoyin when he saw that she didn't understand his thoughts.
"What's the matter?" Su Luoyin frowned slightly, not knowing what Qian Yue was talking about.
"Even though he reached an agreement with me early on, he could have used you to contain me later. However, he was extremely protective of you. Even though he knew your identity was different and it was extremely dangerous for him to do anything, he still kept you by his side without hesitation, concealing your identity and protecting you. He would take you with him wherever he went because he was afraid that the hostile forces within the Xi family would harm you if he left. He was willing to let you misunderstand in order to keep you by his side."
