Yan Xuehen's face was ashen. She had thought that the demoness had just guessed the truth by mistake, but she never expected that even Jing Teng, who was indifferent to worldly affairs, would know about it now.
If the company commander knew about this while she was in the blessed land, then wouldn't all the other girls know about it?
The reason why people don't say anything is probably just to save face.
Thinking of this, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and decided to draw her sword and end it all.
To everyone's surprise, Jing Teng stared at her hand as she drew her sword with suspicion: "What are you going to do? Even if you and Yun Jianyue don't get along, you can't attack her while her soul is not in motion, can you?"
"Huh?" Yan Xuehen looked bewildered, not understanding why Guan Yunjianyue had anything to do with her need for liberation.
"I knew I shouldn't have told you this!" Jing Teng seemed a little angry, looking like he hadn't expected you to be such a despicable person who took advantage of others' misfortunes.
Yan Xuehen was truly dumbfounded. Only then did she notice that the other person's socks had turned black, as if her younger sister Jing Teng was talking to her.
"You've misunderstood. I don't intend to harm Yun Jianyue." She knew her younger sister was somewhat unpredictable and more like a witch, so she really didn't want to provoke her.
Hei Jingteng then revealed a slight smile: "I knew you weren't that kind of person. Even if someone stole your disciple's man, you wouldn't be this angry."
Yan Xuehen: "???"
Didn't I steal my apprentice's man? Who is the other person?
"That Yun Jianyue looks like a grandmaster, but I never expected him to do such a thing. But what's even more infuriating is that Qiu Honglei. Her man was stolen, and she didn't say a word. She's still very close to him," Hei Jingteng said angrily.
"You mean Yun Jianyue..." Yan Xuehen's pupils widened in shock. She wasn't stupid and immediately realized what was going on.
All the past events came flooding back, and many doubts suddenly became clear.
She always felt that there was something wrong with the relationship between Zu'an and Yun Jianyue. They seemed like friends, but they were much more familiar and natural than friends.
Previously, due to her special status and the witch's past behavior, she hadn't thought about it in that way, but if she could get together with Ah Zu, why couldn't the witch?
During that secret realm encounter, we were both embraced by Azu. At the time, there was a reason for it, so I didn't suspect anything. But now that I think about it, what kind of person is that demoness? In her entire life, she has never had any contact with other men, let alone embraced them around the waist.
No wonder Ah Zu always treated everyone equally in front of us, covering for her in every way; now I know why…
Just as her heart was in turmoil, the Jing Teng stockings opposite her turned white at a visible speed. A hint of apology flashed across her face: "Miss Yan, please don't misunderstand. My sister was just talking nonsense."
Seeing the sisters switch between poses so frequently, Yan Xuehen felt a little uneasy: "Your sister wouldn't be making things up without reason, would she? Does she know something?"
Bai Jingteng looked a little embarrassed, knowing that the other party was not so easy to fool, so he could only say, "It's just that once she overheard a conversation between Yun Jianyue and her disciple, which seemed to be about stealing their disciple's man or something, so she misunderstood. We can't ask them for the specifics."
At this moment, the dark side of her mind was raging: "Why didn't you tell her the truth? That Yun girl just stole her disciple's man, no, she stole our man too! What's wrong with me causing her some trouble!"
Bai Jingteng explained irritably, "Gossiping behind someone's back is the act of a despicable person!"
Hei Jingteng rolled her eyes: "I've never been a gentleman. You think you're so high and mighty? You don't even say a word when someone else steals your man."
“Azu was never the kind of person who was pure and devoted to one person. Are you only realizing this now?” Bai Jingteng said calmly.
Hei Jingteng was speechless for a moment: "Auntie is one thing, but what about that woman surnamed Yun? She's Honglei's master, and she can do something like this. I can't stand it."
Over the years, she and Qiu Honglei spent a lot of time together and often chatted, so they developed some feelings for each other.
Seeing his sister's sullen expression, Bai Jingteng had to try a different approach to persuade her: "But have you considered that if we do this, Azu will think we're stirring up trouble and will develop a bad impression of us? We won't even mention Yun Jianyue's hatred, and Qiu Honglei might not be grateful to us either. At that time, the other girls will also become wary of us, and we'll become the target of everyone's hatred. We might not even have a place to stay anymore."
Hei Jingteng was taken aback. She wasn't afraid of making enemies with other women, but the thought that it would be very bad if it made Azu hate her.
Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Bai Jingteng continued to say to Yan Xuehen, "This matter is most likely a misunderstanding, and it may not be what my sister thinks. Miss Yan, please don't take it to heart."
Yan Xuehen forced a smile, gave a few perfunctory replies, and then made an excuse to take her leave.
At first, I thought Yun Jianyue and Azu were having an affair, but later, after hearing what Bai Jingteng said, I realized that Yun Jianyue was probably referring to herself when she mentioned stealing her disciple's man.
We've come full circle!
I realize that I can't keep my affair with Ah Zu a secret for much longer.
We must have a good talk with Ah Zu when he gets back.
However, she quickly thought of what Hei Jingteng had just said. Could it be that Yun Jianyue really had something going on with Azu?
In that case, even if I ask Ah Zu, he won't tell me the truth, and he certainly won't help me...
Having figured all this out, my usually calm state of mind became restless.
So she decided to talk to Xie Daoyun and Ji Xiaoxi. They had been with Azu for a long time and should know more about what had happened to him over the years.
