Chapter 94 Living like a monk, striking the bell for a day; working like an ox, going crazy for a day.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Ji could only silently curse her boss a thousand times in her heart before reluctantly accepting the arduous task of "keeping watch."
Who would have thought that he had just crept down, suppressing his aura with all his might, preparing to find the best observation point, when he witnessed such a mind-blowing scene.
no?
In broad daylight, under the clear sky, Qin Zhenzhen's sticky, strangely satisfied breathing sound was precisely carried by the wind into Yunji's ears.
Immediately afterwards, that lowered yet still crystal-clear, raunchy phrase struck him like a thunderbolt from the heavens, leaving him utterly scorched and battered.
Yunji: "!!!"
Stir-frying, stir-frying all the time?!
Is this his understanding of "stir-frying"?
Has the atmosphere in Lingzhou become so open-minded?!
Yunji felt her worldview was crumbling into pieces, beyond repair.
He watched as Shen Zhaozhao sprang away like a startled rabbit, observed Qin Zhenzhen's regretful expression as if she hadn't had enough, then looked at Tu Shanche's stiff, shocked expression—"I didn't see anything, but I'm utterly shocked"—and Murong Xiao's strangely excited expression of "Holy crap, you can do that? I've learned something new!"
Yunji's already distorted face was now quite a sight to behold.
Shock, bewilderment, and a hint of... eerie excitement...
Yunji chuckled twice.
Xie Linyuan, who takes advantage of his good looks and acts recklessly, showing off in front of him every day and provoking him, a "plain-looking" working man!
Isn't this a ready-made opportunity for revenge?!
So you want him to keep an eye on you?
Sure!
He'll go back now and give the Immortal Venerable a proper report on the "important intelligence" he's "monitored"!
Yun Ji rubbed his hands together, and his eyes, which had become somewhat dull from years of overtime work, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented green light!
Adding fuel to the fire?
Absolutely!
Adding fuel to the fire?
Basic operation!
Let's make it as exciting as possible!
Immortal Lord~ Shen Zhaozhao is going to marry someone else~ You'll be a widow~
Yun Ji was so excited that his whole body was trembling. He could almost see Xie Linyuan's handsome face, which was always calm and composed, crack and twist in an instant after hearing this news!
Let you get away with this!
There's an old saying that goes, "A monk rings the bell for a day, and a beast of burden goes crazy for a day!"
Today, even if the Heavenly Dao itself descends to earth, it won't stop him from causing trouble!
...
at the same time.
On the top floor of Liuyun Pavilion, in the private room reserved for the Tianyan Sect, the air was so thick it felt like you could wring water out of it.
Gu Xuanchen stood with his back to everyone by the carved window, his fingertips digging into the window frame. The humiliation from the tattered package at the pre-auction auction was still burning inside him, and Yun Wan'er's gaze behind him made him even more uncomfortable.
What's there to explain?
He spent a thousand top-grade spirit stones to buy a humiliating experience, and it was all burned to ashes. He still feels very aggrieved when he thinks about it.
Shen Zhaozhao... she's truly ruthless!
Suddenly, Gu Xuanchen's mind was filled with images of Shen Zhaozhao chattering around him in the past, impossible to get rid of, and now she looked at him as if she wanted to trample him into the mud...
An inexplicable, venomous fire suddenly surged up, burning his chest with a dull ache and a sense of restlessness, as if he couldn't grasp anything.
He flung his sleeve in frustration, and the resulting gust of wind swept a potted plant of precious spiritual energy from a low table next to him to the ground with a loud crash, shards of porcelain mixed with spiritual soil scattering everywhere.
No one dared to utter a sound.
Yun Wan'er sat in the shadows in the corner, half her face hidden in the dark, her whole being so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
She gripped the hem of her skirt so tightly that her knuckles turned white, waiting for Gu Xuanchen to come over, even if it was just to say a kind word... But what happened?
She waited and waited.
Time seemed to be soaked in thick ink, each breath dragging on endlessly.
In the past... there was no need for her to do this.
As soon as she furrows her brow slightly and shows a hint of grievance, Senior Brother Gu will immediately drop everything and coax her gently, wishing he could present her with the best things in the world.
But what about now?
Senior Brother Gu not only wasted a thousand top-grade spirit stones on that piece of junk, but he also... he actually told her to "stop making trouble" in front of so many people!
How could he... speak to her in such an impatient tone?!
She was treated as some unreasonable, annoying burden!
"Bang."
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, interrupting Yun Wan'er's almost bursting out of resentment.
Elder Qingxuan walked in, his face showing obvious fatigue. His gaze swept over the mess on the floor and Yun Wan'er's pale face in the corner, finally landing on Gu Xuanchen's stiff back. He sighed, but when he spoke again, his voice tried hard to suppress his anxiety, revealing a forced gentleness.
"Well, what's done is done, there's no point in regretting it now."
"I just sent an urgent message back to the sect. The reserves of top-grade spirit ore from the Xuanjing Jade Mine are still sufficient. I need to personally arrange for a batch to be brought over to prepare for the formal auction in a few days."
"You don't need to worry too much about what happened today. But after this incident, you should be more careful in your future actions."
He glanced at the core disciples in the private room: "Today we were at a disadvantage in the Yuntai Immortal Market. The loss is not only in spirit stones, but may also affect the sect competition in a while."
"You should know that the results of the sect competition are directly related to the future resource allocation and voice of our Tianyan Sect in Lingzhou."
"You are all the future hope that the sect has been nurturing with all its might, and the pillars of the sect. From now on, you must think twice before doing anything or saying anything, and think more about the consequences and the future of the sect."
His words were earnest and heartfelt. Although he suppressed his anger, every word he uttered was for the sake of the sect and for the younger generation. He himself silently took on the arduous task of dispatching personnel to the mine.
Gu Xuanchen looked at the weariness that Elder Qingxuan couldn't hide in his eyes and the forced gentleness he was trying to maintain. He lowered his eyes, and unusually obediently bowed in Elder Qingxuan's direction, his voice deep and muffled: "Yes, disciple... will follow the elder's teachings."
Seeing that his attitude was acceptable, Qingxuan's tense expression eased slightly. He nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave the private room in a hurry, clearly intending to immediately deal with the troublesome mineral vein matter.
However, Gu Xuanchen's bowed head and his words "I will follow your teachings" sounded particularly grating to Yun Wan'er, who was in the corner.
...Senior Brother Gu would rather bow his head and admit his mistake to Elder Qingxuan, and listen to those rambling words about "the future of the sect," than...would rather come over and coax her.
He didn't even... glance in her direction!
The immense sense of loss was like a red-hot, dull knife, stabbing fiercely into Yun Wan'er's heart, stirring wildly within.
Where is Senior Brother Gu, who used to cherish her like a precious treasure?!
What about Senior Brother Gu, whose mere frown would break her heart?!
A sudden wave of intense dizziness washed over Yun Wan'er, and her vision blurred. She gripped the armrests of her seat tightly, her heart pounding with a heavy weight. Gu Xuanchen's indifference filled her with an unprecedented sense of panic. All the resentment, humiliation, and bitterness in her heart seemed to desperately need a clear outlet—
Shen Zhaozhao!
Yes... it must be her, it must be that bitch!
Ever since the newcomer competition began, this persistent scoundrel has been like a leech clinging to my bones!
Time and time again, they stood between her and Senior Brother Gu!
Using those despicable means to drive a wedge between Senior Brother Gu and her!
She originally... thought of sparing that bitch's life, letting her watch helplessly as Senior Brother Gu fell deeply in love with her and elevated her to the highest level, letting her rot in pain and jealousy!
But now...
Yun Wan'er's beautiful eyes were filled with deep, venomous resentment. She only wished that—that damned Shen Zhaozhao—immediately! Right now! Go to hell!
