Chapter 39 Spell-Making Prodigy Girl VS. The Demon Lord Who Shares Her Bed 12
"When will that be? This young master doesn't have much time to waste with you. The secret treasure is of utmost importance to my Jiang clan. If we can't find it, then I'll have no choice but to ask our ancestor to intervene."
The members of the immortal sect were shocked; the Jiang clan patriarch was unfathomable. Hundreds of years ago, he defeated a group of powerful figures in the cultivation world with his mortal body. Afterward, he went into seclusion and never came out, and people spread rumors that he had been punished by heaven and perished.
Lingzhen frowned. At this time, the sect leader was in seclusion. If they really provoked the Jiang Clan Ancestor, there would surely be another bloody storm.
Seeing that they didn't answer, Jiang Zhiyi said again, "Where is Ruan Lingyue? Hand her over."
"Young Master Jiang, this matter has nothing to do with her." Lingzhen shielded her behind him.
Seeing this, Ruan Lingyue felt anxious. At this point, she could no longer run away. She could not let her master bear the burden alone.
“Young Master Jiang, it was indeed I who infiltrated your Dark Pavilion to steal the secret treasure that day.”
The crowd erupted in uproar.
"Lingyue!" Lingzhen's face darkened, forbidding her from continuing.
"Master!" She stepped forward, her gaze fixed, as if she had made a decision.
“My constitution is special, and my soul is unstable. As my cultivation level increases, I am showing signs of going into qi deviation. The accidental injury to Senior Brother Suxi before, and today, are both due to the disorder and uncontrollability of my internal energy. The day I stole the spellbook, I was looking for a solution.”
"A man in black injured me midway and stole the treasure. When I woke up, the treasure was gone. It must have been taken by that man in black."
"This matter is entirely my fault and has nothing to do with the sect. Do as you please, I will have no complaints."
Jiang Zhiyi just laughed: "What are you? Is your life worth more than our Jiang family's secret treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Lingyue turned pale.
Jiang Zhiyi glanced at Qi Suihuan again; he was staring at Ruan Lingyue, seemingly lost in thought.
What the hell are you staring at, you idiot? They're here today to get down to business.
"Senior brother," Jiang Zhiyi called out, patting his back heavily.
Qi Suihuan responded and then threw out a man with his hands tied and his head covered from behind them.
"Are these disciples of your Sword Drinking Sect?" she asked.
"Wang Shi!"
Soon someone recognized him: "What happened? Why is he in your hands? A few days ago, he and several disciples went down the mountain on patrol and then disappeared. We have been looking for them for a long time."
"So this is indeed someone from your immortal sect."
Jiang Zhiyi said calmly.
“When we found this person, he was being controlled to use evil magic to harm people. Your other two disciples were already dead.”
“Impossible, how could he possibly use evil magic?” a disciple retorted.
"Believe it or not, we also discovered that he has been placed under a prohibition. If I hadn't kept him alive with the array these past few days, he would probably be dead by now. He is now delirious and doesn't have much time left. Take him back and examine him yourselves."
The sect leaders and elders of the immortal sect all changed their expressions.
"You previously made a huge fuss by trespassing into the Forbidden Abyss, putting a huge accusation on our Jiang Clan. The clan elders instructed me to investigate this matter thoroughly. Now, how does your immortal sect explain this?"
All of these incidents point to the Immortal Sect; those who don't know the situation might think they deliberately set a trap.
“Young Master Jiang, since everything started because of the Immortal Sect, we cannot shirk our responsibility. However, since it is now related to evil magic, we need to consider this carefully.”
"Lingzhen hereby promises that the Immortal Sect will do its utmost to retrieve the spellbook for the Jiang Clan, and will also investigate the matter of evil magic to clear the Jiang Clan's name."
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Zhiyi conceded, "Then I'll give you some more time."
But she had no intention of leaving just like that.
“Your Wangxian Mountain is quite a nice place. Why don’t my senior brother and I stay here and patrol with you?”
Lingzhen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Bu Jingrong and Yue Zhiyao, who both nodded in agreement.
“Of course,” Lingzhen readily agreed.
...
Jiang Zhiyi and "Chenyou" were settled on a mountain peak in Wangxian Mountain.
With flowing clouds and rosy hues, surrounded by ethereal beauty, it is indeed a very comfortable place.
"Qi Suihuan!"
He frowned. She was being spoiled and becoming increasingly unruly, calling him by his full name every day.
"Who gave you permission to call me by my name?"
“I’ll call you that. Names are meant to be called. You call me that usually too. By the way, you probably don’t know my nickname. You can call me Zhizhi.”
"Why have you been staring at Ruan Lingyue all day? What, have you taken a fancy to her?"
Qi Suihuan ignored her nonsense.
Seeing him sitting lazily in the armchair, Jiang Zhi immediately pounced on him.
She straddled his lap, clinging to his chest like an octopus.
"Get down!" He reached out and touched her waist.
"No! Why have you been staring at her all day? I'm not coming down until you explain yourself."
Qi Sui fantasized about pushing the person away; her limp body was now almost entirely leaning against him…
"Release me!"
"I don't want to!"
The two were deadlocked for a time.
Jiang Zhiyi always used both soft and hard tactics, but after making a scene and finding that he wasn't taking the bait, she immediately changed her approach.
She rested her head on his shoulder and said, "You've been staring at her all day. Do you two know each other?"
"I don't know him."
"But you've been paying extra attention to her today. Have you fallen for her at first sight?"
"You're overthinking it," Qi Suihuan said calmly.
Jiang Zhiyi secretly rolled her eyes. He was still blatantly lying. If she hadn't seen the plot, she would have actually believed his story.
In the original storyline, the male and female leads knew each other when they were very young.
Ruan Lingyue is the child of a great demon general from the demon realm and a mortal. This is also the reason why the female protagonist's cultivation in the immortal sect is always hindered - as the child of an ordinary person and a demon cultivator, she is not suitable to learn immortal arts at all, she should be a demon cultivator.
During the chaos in the Demon Realm, the female protagonist lost her family. Lingzhen found her near the Demon Realm.
Jiang Zhiyi knew, of course, that Qi Suihuan wouldn't admit it; she had just been deliberately testing his reaction.
"So, do you think she's prettier or I am?"
She looked up at him, her eyes seemingly filled with spring water, her smile as beautiful as a flower, very touching.
Qi Suihuan concealed her thoughts and slowly replied, "You're ugly."
Jiang Zhiyi looked at him in disbelief.
How dare he say she's ugly? She's clearly so beautiful.
Jiang Zhiyi's lips drooped, and she looked extremely unhappy.
She quickly realized, "It's okay, you're ugly too, we're a perfect match."
"Look at those young cultivators from the immortal sects today. They're all handsome and refined, much better looking than you."
Qi Suihuan said without changing her expression, "Then go find them." She would find one, and he would kill one.
"I won't go, but can I just give you a kiss?" she asked expectantly.
