"Since you're here, let's sit down and eat together." Qu Lingyuan waved leisurely and invited Shi Ran to sit down with him.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was weird, but Qu Lingyuan didn't care and ate until her stomach was full.
Jin Jiang still acted indifferent to Shi Ran, guessing that she still had something to say to Qu Lingyuan, so he left immediately after dinner.
Qu Lingyuan glanced at the seat next to her and found that Yu Jinjiang's sword was left on the table.
With the sound of the door closing, Shi Ran's expression changed immediately.
With a gloomy face, she asked Qu Lingyuan, "Why didn't you tell me that the jade pendant had been taken away?"
Qu Lingyuan's face was full of innocence: "You didn't ask me..."
She learned this trick from Yiling. It is very effective in making people angry and it works every time.
Shi Ran was so angry that his teeth were itching. For a moment, he couldn't find any words to refute her, so he sat in the chair as quiet as a chicken.
"I went to see Zhao Qi," Shi Ran decided to put the matter aside for now and get straight to the point. "I originally thought he had stolen my jade pendant, but he said I had someone give it to him, and I've never had anyone do that before."
Qu Lingyuan smiled.
I thought to myself, if you had someone else do this, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
"So?" Qu Lingyuan blinked, as if she didn't quite understand what she was saying.
Shi Ran's eyes were deep, and his pupils were fixed on her: "Zhao Qi said that the hand of the person who gave him the jade pendant that day looked very similar to yours..."
With a light laugh, Qu Lingyuan interrupted her calmly, "So Sister Shi... is doubting me?"
Shi Ran didn't answer the question, but just stared at her.
After a few seconds, she lowered her eyelids and said, "Seeing the jade pendant on Zhao Qi, Senior Brother Yu will definitely suspect me. Who knows if you did anything to your face..."
Qu Lingyuan sneered again and raised an eyebrow. "If I'm not mistaken, disguise is only used on stage, right? It can indeed change a person's appearance, but unfortunately, it's full of loopholes when you look closely. Sister Shi, you must find a good reason to slander me. I don't have the ability to change my face yet."
Disguise is still quite common on stage today, but due to backward development, there are no suitable materials to use on the face, and it does not look real.
Therefore, Qu Lingyuan had good reasons to be free of suspicion.
Shi Ran also knew this, so she didn't say these words when Yu Jinjiang was around.
She did suspect Qu Lingyuan, but she just couldn't find any evidence.
Qu Lingyuan was very good at making people angry, which made her extremely furious.
Raising her head, Qu Lingyuan continued, "Besides, what good would it do me to have Brother Yu suspect you? Even if I gave the jade pendant to Zhao Qi, could I have predicted that Brother Yu and Zhao Qi would meet at the foot of the mountain?"
She felt guilty, but spoke with confidence.
It's indeed impossible.
But she is Qu Lingyuan, she can do anything.
Break through the constraints of logic and use logic to trick you.
Everything seems to make sense, but the reality is not necessarily...
Shi Ran was speechless and could only pick out a point to refute her: "What benefits? Don't tell me you don't like Senior Brother Yu. Your pupils light up every time you see him, like a dog seeing a bone. How shameless."
In this situation, she was too lazy to maintain superficial harmony.
It would be easier to get along with each other if we just break up directly, at least we can curse back.
Qu Lingyuan also thought so. She was even more vicious than Shi Ran, and had a better mentality.
After adjusting her collar, she said slowly, "At least Brother Yu is willing to let me nibble on him. He even took the initiative to accompany me for dinner, but he ignores you..."
After a pause, he continued, "Going down the mountain... the night you dragged me out for a drink, you asked those two men in the room, right? Brother Yu really doesn't trust you at all. I just casually said a few words, and he started to doubt you...
No, it was you who did it, so it’s normal to doubt you…”
Qu Lingyuan's tone was full of nonchalance.
If you do it, do it thoroughly.
She just wanted to piss Shi Ran off to death today.
Shi Ran was indeed agitated. She stood up from her chair and said sternly, "It's because of what you, the shameless one, said that Senior Brother Yu treats me like this!"
Seeing her like this, Qu Lingyuan secretly had a plan in mind.
She smiled wickedly, her tone bewitching, and her voice lowered at the end: "Not only that, I also know about the jade pendant, and even... the truth about Gu Chi and the former leader's death. Just wait, sooner or later I will expose you, and then... you will live a life worse than death."
Shi Ran was completely enraged.
At the same time, the emotions are filled with infinite jealousy, panic and anxiety.
The interweaving of multiple emotions made it difficult for her to control herself.
Qu Lingyuan was able to say this because she was definitely certain about it, otherwise she would not have known such a secret matter between Gu Chi and the former leader.
If she were to tell everyone about all this, her entire life would be ruined, and there would be no future for her and Yu Jinjiang...
After calming down a bit, Shi Ran closed his eyes, raised one corner of his mouth, and said meaningfully: "You are still too stupid..."
"Hmm?" Qu Lingyuan tilted her head with an innocent look.
Shi Ran's tone was tinged with threat: "You're telling me your plan now, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you to silence you?"
After saying that, she drew her sword and placed it against Qu Lingyuan's chest, gesturing gently.
This action was just a pretense to make the silly little girl in front of him hide her little thoughts.
After all, she couldn't really kill anyone on Mount Hua.
Qu Lingyuan was silent, as if she was frightened.
Shi Ran smiled with satisfaction: "You'd better keep these secrets, otherwise I can't guarantee what I will do. After all, only the dead are the most trustworthy... Also, stay away from Yu Jinjiang, he can only be mine."
The blade slowly moved in her hand, finally stopping at her abdomen, flashing coldly under the light.
Qu Lingyuan looked frightened, but her heart was calm.
Yi Ling was sitting cross-legged in the air, staring at the positioning system with boredom.
This was the order Qu Lingyuan had just given him.
"Yu Jinjiang is here." He suddenly spoke.
"Yeah." Qu Lingyuan responded faintly in her head.
The sword is as important as life to the people of Huashan Sect. A good sword will gain enough attention from its owner.
She had known for a long time that Yu Jinjiang would come back to get his sword.
Shi Ran was looking very proud when the trembling little rabbit in front of him suddenly smiled. Not only did it not dodge, it also moved forward.
Qu Lingyuan was not wearing thick clothes in the house. The sharp sword blade pierced into the silk cloth, breaking the tender flesh. Blood gushed out and dyed her snow-white clothes red.
"Ah!" she screamed loudly.
It still hurts...
Qu Lingyuan bit her lower lip and frowned.
She has fast healing ability, and as long as the wound does not kill her instantly, all wounds can be healed quickly.
The plan is a good one, if you ignore the pain...
Shi Ran was still dazed by the sudden change. She didn't know what was wrong with this girl and why she suddenly wanted to commit suicide.
The door hinges creaked with a teeth-grinding sound.
Yu Jinjiang opened the door and saw a sea of blood...
