If it were someone else, it wouldn't matter, but she was facing Wenmo, someone she wanted to kill and compete with, someone she considered a rival in love. How could she back down?
She gritted her teeth and remained silent. After a long while, she said proudly, "Sect Leader Chunyu, I am not a disciple of your Myriad Paths Sect, and I cannot obey your orders."
The sect leader of the Myriad Paths Sect had a hint of anger in his eyes. His words were tantamount to regarding Luo Ran'er as a disciple of the Myriad Paths Sect and protecting her under his wing. He did not expect her to be so ungrateful.
If they keep saying they're not disciples of the Myriad Paths Sect, what kind of logic is it that they treat the Myriad Paths Sect as a backer when they encounter ghosts and monsters and need help?
The sect leader of Wandao Sect snorted coldly and didn't say another word.
Chunyu Xunfeng's face turned pale, as if he had lost his soul. He barely managed to stand up and said to Linghu Lan, "Wenmo, I'm sorry. I was reckless today. Please forgive me."
"It's alright!" Linghu Lan chuckled.
Ming Hong's sharp gaze swept over Chunyu Xunfeng, who met his gaze.
Ming Hong smiled slightly, and instantly it felt as if ten thousand flying needles shot out from his body. Chunyu Xunfeng's eyes stung, and he had no choice but to look away. A warning from Ming Hong echoed in his mind: She is mine, and you can't afford to covet her.
A chilling aura emanating from the netherworld sent a shiver down Chunyu Xunfeng's spine. The cold penetrated to his very bones, chilling him to the very core, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The sect leader of Wandao Sect then realized something was wrong and hurriedly helped Chunyu Xunfeng up, quickly channeling his true energy into him. However, it was only a drop in the ocean compared to Ming Hong's powerful ghost energy. He couldn't help but look up and say, "Miss Wen, today it was my Wandao Sect that meddled in other people's business. It was all my fault. Please forgive him."
Linghu Lan looked at Ming Hong with a puzzled expression. "You did this?"
Ming Hong blushed slightly. "Mm!"
Linghu Lan was speechless, and muttered to herself, "That's good!"
Ming Hong looked at Linghu Lan with some surprise. She didn't blame him, but praised him instead? Sure enough, she was the woman he had chosen.
Overjoyed, Ming Hong quickly stopped.
Chunyu Xunfeng's expression finally softened. He looked at Linghu Lan and was completely heartbroken. In Chunyu Xunfeng's heart, if Linghu Lan's heart was not yet settled, he would have dared to pursue her even at the cost of his life. However, her praising that man was quite good, those two simple words instantly plunged Chunyu Xunfeng into the deepest abyss.
Hello, Wenmo!
He glanced at Luo Ran'er, seemingly understanding her feelings of unrequited love. But deep down, if he wasn't willing to settle, wouldn't Wen Mo also be unwilling to settle? Was that man her final choice?
Chunyu Xunfeng's mind was in a mess.
The leader of the Wandao Sect glanced at Bei Yusheng, who had been sitting motionless on the sofa the whole time, and sighed, "Mr. Bei, I have done my best, but I'm afraid I really can't help you today."
Bei Yusheng looked up at him and gave him a gentle smile: "It's alright, thank you, I will pay you back as promised."
"I dare not accept any more payment." The leader of the Wandao Sect glanced at Bei Yusheng, slowly took a wooden plaque from his own neck, and placed it around Bei Yusheng's neck, saying slowly, "This is an amulet passed down from my ancestors to ward off evil. Whether it works or not, I can't say for sure. I'm giving it to Mr. Bei as a token of my appreciation!"
Bei Yusheng stroked the wooden plaque and suddenly said, "Made of wisteria?"
