Ling Xiaotian had been very kind to Li Changqing, and Li Changqing was loyal to him. But since when did Li Changqing begin to feel the pressure from the Sect Leader grow heavier? Simply standing there and answering a question made Li Changqing feel like he was on the verge of a life-or-death struggle.
After Li Changqing left, Ling Xiaotian pondered for a while, then stood up and returned to the back hall.
Ling Xiaotian was in a very bad mood, so bad that he couldn't help but want to kill someone. Over the past few days, one thing after another had made Ling Xiaotian's mood extremely bad. The blood of the two Taoist children this morning finally calmed Ling Xiaotian down a little.
The news that Xie Hanmei went to Maoshan Sect made Ling Xiaotian feel relieved, and his mind quickly calmed down.
Xie Hanmei’s matter is important, but another matter is more important.
Ling Xiaotian had carefully planned out a retreat route, but it was suddenly and inexplicably cut off a few days ago.
He Jingjing's escape from the secret realm was tacitly approved by Ling Xiaotian. Otherwise, just because He Jingjing knew the details of how Ling Xiaotian became the head of the sect, she would have been killed by Ling Xiaotian long ago.
The reason why Ling Xiaotian didn't kill He Jingjing was not because of Wu Xiuyun's face, but because of his own face.
He Jingjing was once Ling Xiaotian's host. Ling Xiaotian's soul magnetic field was similar to He Jingjing's. When Ling Xiaotian took over Liu Jingyu's body, he did not extract all of his soul from He Jingjing's sea of consciousness, but left a trace of it inside.
This wisp of soul was Ling Xiaotian's escape route. Ling Xiaotian had practiced the art of soul puppetry. As long as He Jingjing survived, his soul would remain indestructible. Even if Liu Jingyu's body was destroyed, Ling Xiaotian could find a new one to possess.
It can be said that with the soul in He Jingjing's sea of consciousness, Ling Xiaotian is equivalent to being immortal.
A few days ago, Wen Ziqing accidentally used the Soul Thorn on He Jingjing, which just happened to disperse the soul that Ling Xiaotian left in He Jingjing's sea of consciousness.
Ling Xiaotian's own soul had a slight connection with that fragment of soul. When the fragment of soul was destroyed, Ling Xiaotian sensed it and suffered considerable damage.
The damage to the soul is different from the damage to the body. Ling Xiaotian secluded himself for a few days before the injuries were suppressed. If he wants to recover, he can only rely on slow nursing.
Even if Ling Xiaotian wanted to seek revenge on the person who destroyed his soul fragment, he couldn't. He Jingjing was far away in the secular world, and Ling Xiaotian, as the head of the Yushan Sect, was busy with his duties. By the time Ling Xiaotian recovered from his injuries and arranged the sect's affairs, it would take months to catch up with him in the secular world. After such a long time, the "murderer" had escaped, and Ling Xiaotian was completely helpless. This was the main reason why Ling Xiaotian was furious.
Kyoto City, Wen Yiran's home.
He Jingjing didn't know how lucky she was. The remnant soul that had been following her was accidentally destroyed by Wen Ziqing.
During lunch, He Boyuan was picked up from the train station by Wen Yiran's driver Xiao Zhang.
Before He Boyuan entered the house, he saw He Jingjing standing outside the door to greet him from afar. Looking at the beautiful and charming He Jingjing, He Boyuan felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
When she was little, He Jingjing was adorable and sweet-mouthed. She knew how to flatter He Shumin at a young age. He Boyuan was scolded by He Shumin several times, and it was He Jingjing who helped smooth things over. Honestly, He Boyuan really liked his niece, He Jingjing.
It’s a pity that He Jingjing has been sick all the time. Seeing that she is in poor health, the He family can’t help but indulge He Jingjing a little, which has led to He Jingjing’s arrogant and selfish habits.
He Boyuan and his wife were away from Kyoto. To prevent He Shumin from forgetting their family, they left their children in Kyoto for school, allowing them to spend more time with He Shumin. Fearing that her other cousins would dilute He Shumin's attention, He Jingjing bullied the children over the years. Consequently, He Boyuan's wife, Liu Xiaoyan, never liked He Jingjing.
He Boyuan had a tough time in recent years. After He Shumin's death, He Boyuan was left without support. Furthermore, his eldest brother, He Boqian, had his own problems. His entertainment venues were exposed for numerous illegal activities, leading to He Boqian's imprisonment, and this also implicated He Boyuan, who could have made great strides.
After being dragged down by He Boqian, He Boyuan has spent a lot of effort over the years to maintain his current position.
Liu Xiaoyan was full of resentment towards He Boqian, which was why He Boyuan had not planned to go to Kyoto City to pick up He Jingjing before.
He Boyuan still couldn't get over his conscience and couldn't do anything to let his niece wander around alone. Taking advantage of the few days of the Chinese New Year holiday, He Boyuan personally went to Kyoto City to pick up He Jingjing and take her home.
"Uncle, why have you lost weight?" He Jingjing's misfortunes in recent years have been the best training for her. When she saw He Boyuan again, He Jingjing was much more talkative than before.
"Hehehe... Not bad, not bad." He Boyuan was a little embarrassed. How could he not lose weight when the sky above his head collapsed overnight?
"Boyuan, long time no see. Please come in." Wen Yiran saw that He Boyuan and his nephew had been standing by the door and quickly let He Boyuan in. There was no shortage of curious people in the compound. Who knew how many different versions of the rumors would emerge about He Boyuan's visit to the Wen family? I believe He Boyuan doesn't mind people saying that he has "climbed" Wen Yiran now, but Wen Yiran will retire in a year and has no interest in becoming fodder for gossip.
After having lunch at Wen's house, He Boyuan chatted with He Jingjing alone for an hour and then said goodbye.
Before leaving, Uncle He thanked Wen Yiran for the Wen family's hospitality to He Jingjing over the past few days, but he did not mention a word about taking He Jingjing back.
Wen Yiran and his wife were left standing at the door, watching Uncle He's back as he walked away, his hair disheveled in the wind. He Boyuan's words before he left made Wen Yiran and his wife look at each other in bewilderment, their minds in a turmoil.
He Boyuan said that He Jingjing was already a member of their Wen family and she was unwilling to leave with He Boyuan. As her uncle, he could only wish her the best.
It seems that He Boyuan is trying to get He Jingjing to rely on the Wen family. The Wen family doesn't need He Jingjing's livelihood, but isn't this to avoid suspicion? He Jingjing keeps pestering Wen Ziqing, making General Zhou angry. What should he do?
Wen Yiran was apprehensive, but He Boyuan was overjoyed. He Boyuan was thankful to have made this trip; otherwise, in just a few years, he would never have imagined that the once naive He Jingjing had become such a sophisticated person. Only if... only if He Jingjing could truly marry into the Wen family, would his future be bright again.
After dinner, He Jingjing went upstairs early. Tonight, He Jingjing planned to find out who was pretending to be Wen Ziqing. Her bargains were not so easy to earn.
Zhou Yuanyuan, who was far away in Zhaojiagou, was unable to sleep in.
