Xie Linyuan suddenly raised his eyes slightly, gazing at the deepening twilight outside the window. A perfectly timed glimmer of water actually welled up in his deep, still eyes: "It's already this late..."
"She promised to take me to the Flower Festival today."
"This journey may be difficult to complete, and if we are ultimately no match for the will of Heaven, this may be... the last time we meet."
Yunji stood by with his arms crossed, watching coldly, and sneered inwardly. Here it comes, this guy's usual self-inflicted injury trick.
He wanted to see what new tricks this peacock could pull off this time.
However, Xie Linyuan seemed completely oblivious to Yun Ji's cold gaze. He remained immersed in the atmosphere of being abandoned, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, continuing to deliver astonishing lines with that aloof and noble demeanor.
"If the mind is preoccupied, the spirit will be distracted. If this regret causes a momentary lapse in concentration when battling against the will of Heaven, it will reveal a weakness..."
He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over Yun Ji as if it were nothing, "When the time comes, the Heavenly Dao will settle accounts, and the first to bear the brunt will naturally be this Venerable One."
"I just wonder... if Immortal Lord Yunji, who is so close to me and knows so much about the inside story, can... keep himself out of trouble?"
Yun Ji's relaxed, detached expression froze instantly, her pupils shrinking sharply: "...Xie Linyuan, you bastard, you're threatening me?!"
Yes.
How could Xie Linyuan, that bastard, be able to contend with the Heavenly Dao until now, and even subtly gain the upper hand? He must be a lunatic who only knows about romance and nature.
This dog's greatest skill is using its naturally beautiful face to put on the most innocent expression, then turning its head and babbling out the most deadly things!
Looking at Xie Linyuan again, he simply turned his head slightly to avoid Yun Ji's almost fiery gaze, his tone still calm, even carrying a hint of grievance at being misunderstood: "How could that be? I was just worried and inevitably overthought things, so I just thought too much."
Yunji was so angry that her fingertips were trembling.
He stared intently at Xie Linyuan's handsome face, which now seemed incredibly hateful, wishing he could immediately pack up this scourge and throw it back to the Ninth Heaven.
But reason told him that although the scoundrel's words were outrageous, they were not untrue.
If this love-struck person really messes things up because of this "regret," then Heaven will be the first to punish this "accomplice."
Even though a thousand curses were running through her mind, Yunji finally gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words almost from the depths of her throat.
"...Wait!"
Then, Yunji appeared in this damp water dungeon, cleaning up these unsavory troubles for a certain fussy boss.
Thinking of this, he looked at Yun Wan'er, who was barely able to stand and whose face was as pale as a ghost, and the disgust in his eyes was almost tangible.
It was all because of these ants stirring up trouble that Shen Zhaozhao's steps were hindered, indirectly causing him to have to endure this filth here!
This pent-up anger, with nowhere else to go, was unsurprisingly poured entirely onto the instigator!
Start blasting!
He's about to unleash a torrent of abuse!
bring it on!
Utterly insane!
"I have roamed the Nine Heavens for over a thousand years, and I have seen all kinds of oddballs. But someone like you, who has the words 'having your cake and eating it too' etched on your forehead and still thinks you are infinitely glorious, is truly one of a kind in the Nine Heavens!"
"What? You think all the opportunities in the world are meant to be yours, and all the men in the world are meant to revolve around you? You think that if you just frown, people will pluck the stars and the Milky Way from the sky to embroider your shoes? Who do you think you are? Is the Heavenly Dao your pet dog, so obedient to your commands?"
"A chosen one of destiny? Bah!"
"You always put on that weak and helpless act, and the abacus beads in your mind are practically falling off my face!"
Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I have words written on my face?
"Still acting like that, ah~ 'Why, why?' Because you're bad! Because you're stupid! Because you're greedy and yet you feel wronged!"
Yun Wan'er was stunned by the barrage of vicious insults, each one piercing to the heart, leaving her dizzy and her ears ringing.
Wait, is something wrong somewhere?
She... she just needs to stand there quietly, and someone will willingly hand her opportunities, right?
Shouldn't she be the most popular junior sister in the sect?
Shouldn't she be the chosen one, pampered by all men, with someone clearing all obstacles for her with just a frown?
Why? !
Why are these men attacking her, one by one, as if they're possessed?!
She simply admired a man and wanted to stand by his side, so why was she inexplicably insulted like this?!
Why can Shen Zhaozhao do it, but she can't?!
However, just as Yun Wan'er was gritting her teeth and teetering on the brink of collapse, her mind a complete mess, Shen Zhaozhao suddenly pulled Yun Ji Xianjun, who was still frantically outputting information and wished he could drown Yun Wan'er with his spittle.
Yunji was in the middle of a passionate speech when she was suddenly pulled away. She glared at Shen Zhaozhao with extreme displeasure, her eyes clearly saying—
what!
I haven't had my fill of spitting yet!
This stuff has been polluting the environment for so long, am I not allowed to act on behalf of heaven?!
Shen Zhaozhao gave him an apologetic look, then glanced subtly at the darkening sky outside the water prison. If she let him continue spewing nonsense, the Flower Festival might really be too late.
The thought of Kongque at home, whoever gets stood up and who knows what kind of outrageous things she might do next, made Shen Zhaozhao's brain tremble.
Immortal Lord Yunji had obviously thought of this as well, and his face instantly turned even uglier. But in the end, he shut his mouth in a huff, crossed his arms, and stood aside, continuing to silently torture Yun Wan'er with his eyes.
Shen Zhaozhao then turned her gaze back to Yun Wan'er, whose face was pale and eyes were unfocused. There was no extra expression on her face, only a pure curiosity, as if she had just asked an unimportant question casually.
