Seeing Qin Fengxian and Ao Ling's reactions, Dongfang Yue knew they must have thought of something, and she felt a strong urge to know, like an itch being tickled in her heart.
"What have you come up with? Tell me, you're driving me crazy."
Seeing her anxious expression, Ao Ling chuckled, but without keeping her in suspense, she revealed the truth.
"Do you remember Murong Yi from before? The one who caused us trouble because of Xue Yu?"
Dongfang Yue naturally wouldn't forget; this hadn't been long since it happened. She exclaimed in surprise:
"Of course I remember. You mean the person who can cultivate Soul Fruits, but what is his relationship with Sima Jie?"
You're not suggesting that Sima Jie, like Murong Yi, is also a special clone, are you?
They don't even look alike; they seem like they'd never be related at all.
Ao Ling explained:
"You can't judge a book by its cover. It's hard to say for sure what's going on. As you said, they do look different, and they live in completely different places."
That doesn't mean they have no connection. He gave me a similar feeling to when I first met Murong Yi.
You might try putting them together and carefully recalling their similarities, beyond just appearance, such as expressions, movements, habits, and even their scent.
Dongfang Yue was lost in her memories. She tried to connect Murong Yi and Sima Jie, but she could never see them as the same person.
It's not really her fault. She wasn't familiar with Murong Yi and Sima Jie at all. To be able to tell them apart after only meeting them once or twice would be too much of a feat.
Not everyone can have the same extraordinary keen sense of things as Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, and Ao Ling.
Like Dongfang Yue, Dongmei couldn't connect the two of them no matter how much she thought about it.
Dongfang Yue's confused eyes revealed deep bewilderment as she asked:
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? I don't think they look alike at all."
Besides, he's the young master of the Sima family. If he really had any problems, Uncle Sima couldn't have missed it.
Before Ao Ling could say anything more, Qin Feng interrupted, saying calmly:
"This is just our speculation at the moment, and we can't confirm it yet, but it's always good to be cautious."
If Sima Jie is truly like Murong Yi, then his covetousness towards you is not so simple. You must know he's a ruthless man who will devour you without a trace.
Sima Jie's matter is currently just speculation. He naturally trusts his own feelings, but it's not something he can discuss with anyone outside of them.
Just as Dongfang Yue said, Sima Jie is the young master of the Sima family and an important figure in the family.
If this were told to the Sima family, how would they react?
They definitely won't believe it, and will instead accuse Qin Feng and his group of slandering their young master.
Dongfang Zhengyu also found it difficult to handle this matter. For the time being, it was best to say nothing and just let Sima Jie not provoke him.
At first, Dongfang Yue didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was still very safe in the Purple Origin Immortal Realm. But when she thought of Murong Yi's methods, she began to feel scared.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful. When I get back, I'll tell my father about this. No matter what his purpose is, I won't let him succeed."
Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Leng Yuexi and said softly:
"Yuexi, you're so observant. I almost overlooked it if you hadn't reminded me. What do you think about this?"
Leng Yuexi said calmly:
"Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, it's best not to tell outsiders for now. We just need to be careful ourselves."
If we rashly take action against Sima Jie, it will only provoke retaliation from the Sima family.
We don't want to be retaliated against for doing good deeds.
Moreover, judging from Sima Jie's behavior when he saw us, he seemed not to recognize us at all.
It seems that there is no connection between their clones; they are all independent individuals before they merge into one.
This Sima Jie is Sima Jie, and has no relation to the previous Murong Yi. Just treat him as a completely new person.
He poses little threat to us, and we don't need to worry about him too much.
"If he really intends to attack us, then we don't need to care who he is."
Qin Feng nodded; this was similar to his own idea.
Ao Ling nodded silently.
Leng Yuexi paused, then looked at Dongfang Yue with her beautiful eyes full of curiosity and asked:
"As for Miss Dongfang, I'm a little curious. Why is he so fond of you? What is it about you that attracts him?"
The people in the private room also looked at Dongfang Yue with curiosity.
Dongfang Yue had no idea; she herself was completely bewildered. She helplessly shrugged and said:
"I also want to know, what is it about me that she likes? Can't I change it? Our families are close, but I just don't like her for some reason."
Leng Yuexi stared at her intently for a long time before suggesting, "Would you be willing to let me take your pulse? Perhaps I'll find something useful."
This request is actually a bit excessive; one would never allow someone to spy on them unless they were someone they trusted completely.
She considered Dongfang Yue, Qin Feng, and the other two as her saviors, and since she didn't mind, she readily agreed, "Okay."
She extended her right hand to Leng Yuexi.
Leng Yuexi placed her jade-like fingers on Dongfang Yue's wrist, and after a moment, she probed in with a wisp of immortal energy.
Dongfang Yue noticed it too, but she didn't stop it, letting the wisp of immortal energy flow through her body.
Soon, Leng Yuexi's wisp of immortal energy returned to her hand, and she looked at it thoughtfully.
This wisp of immortal energy has changed slightly, only imperceptibly, growing a tiny bit stronger.
Although it was small, it had indeed grown. Others might not have noticed, but she was the owner of the celestial energy and discovered it when she took it back.
Seeing that Leng Yuexi was deep in thought and not speaking for a moment, Dongfang Yue didn't dare to disturb her and instead showed an expectant expression.
Ao Ling couldn't help but ask on her behalf, "How is Sister Yuexi? Has she found anything?"
Leng Yuexi nodded and smiled at Dongfang Yue, "Indeed, we have made a discovery, and a major one at that."
Dongfang Yue couldn't hold back any longer, "Ah, then just say it, you're driving me crazy."
Leng Yuexi waved her hand, "No rush, let me double-check. Brother Feng, can you help me out?"
Qin Feng looked at Leng Yuexi curiously, "Yuexi, what do you need me to do?"
Leng Yuexi said softly, "It's very simple, I'll lend you a wisp of my breath."
Qin Feng pointed his finger, and a small wisp of immortal energy appeared in Leng Yuexi's hand.
Leng Yuexi took a wisp of the immortal energy and, just like last time, infused it into Dongfang Yue's body.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yue's eyes darted around, as if she had thought of something, but she wasn't sure yet.
A moment later, the wisp of energy that Leng Yuexi had just injected returned after completing a cycle.
This time was different from the last. This time, the immortal energy belonging to Qin Feng was much stronger than before, and the effect was very obvious.
Now everyone understands why Sima Jie wanted to marry Dongfang Yue.
He wasn't attracted to Dongfang Yue's beauty, but rather to the miraculous effects of her body.
What's intriguing is that even Dongfang Zhengyu and Dongfang Yue themselves didn't know, so how did Sima Jie find out?
