Chapter 112 Qingyu Zhenren actually has a lover?
"Master... Qingyu Zhenren?"
Ye Li was quite surprised. It was strange enough that she was in this prison, but it was even more puzzling that Master Qingyu came to see her.
"Where is this? How did you get here?"
Ye Li's question went unanswered. Instead, Qingyu Zhenren walked up to her carrying a food box.
Seeing him open the food box with his hands that seemed untouched by worldly dust, Ye Li felt an extreme sense of unease.
After all, Qingyu Zhenren usually wouldn't even touch these foods, let alone frown at the sight of them, so much so that the Lotus Sect members didn't even dare to eat in front of Qingyu Zhenren.
How could he end up in a place like a dungeon and do something so contrary to his character?
Just as Ye Li was looking at Qingyu Zhenren with surprise, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Wait a minute, this Qingyu Zhenren in front of me is... not quite the same as the one I know?
Although their appearances and demeanor were not much different, the Qingyu Zhenren in front of her was clearly not the one she knew; her face was as cold as ice, and she was indifferent all day long.
Especially when he picked up the pastry and looked at her, worldly emotions appeared in his eyes.
However, the emotions were too complex, and Ye Li couldn't figure them out for the time being.
He said, "These are your favorite snacks. Why don't you have some?"
This short sentence reveals the extraordinary relationship between the two.
This made Ye Li even more puzzled.
Judging from the reactions of those guards, they had all returned to a memorable moment from the past.
Logically speaking, what she saw should also be her past, but in her twenty-five years of memory, she had never been locked up in such a place.
Moreover, judging from Master Qingyu's attitude towards her, if she had really committed a crime that would lead to imprisonment, he would be being lenient by not punishing her; there was no way he would condescend to come and see her.
Could it be a past life?
Just as Ye Li was completely baffled, her hand suddenly moved against her will.
The woman reached for the plate of pastries, and to make it easier for her to take them, Master Qingyu pushed it forward slightly.
Just as Ye Li thought she was about to pick up the pastry, she suddenly raised her hand and overturned the box of pastries.
The delicately shaped pastry was smashed on the ground, turning into crumbs.
The woman's voice was as sharp as a cold wind, carrying a powerful and intimidating force.
"You think you can trade a box of pastries for my life?"
Master Qingyu did not move. His gaze towards her seemed to contain a thousand unspoken words. Then he closed his eyes slightly, his brows furrowed, as if he were enduring immense torment.
He called out, as if in a sigh, "Moonlight."
Moonlight?
Sure enough, what she saw was not what was happening in the real world.
But who is Yuehua?
Master Qingyu's voice was hoarse, each word carrying a deep sense of powerlessness, "You know, this was not my intention."
The woman he called Yuehua didn't buy it. She smiled sarcastically, "Would I be here if it weren't your intention? Qingyu Zhenren, you are truly impartial, even towards your own lover. You will surely be able to prove your innocence and ascend to immortality!"
This sentence contained so much information that it took Ye Li a while to process it.
How could someone as pure and detached as Master Qingyu have a lover?
Could his lover be her past life?
This absurd guess startled Ye Li.
No, that's not right.
Those who cultivate immortality are not subject to reincarnation. If this woman named Yuehua truly dies, she will not be reborn, and it will certainly not be her.
Master Qingyu: "Yuehua, if it weren't for your insistence... I wouldn't have done this."
"Yun Qingyu!"
A low shout rang out, and the heavy clanking of chains echoed from inside the cage.
The woman tried to pull Qingyu Zhenren away, but stopped a few inches away from him.
Ye Li then realized that the woman's hands and feet were bound, and the heavy shackles restricted her movements, preventing her from extending her arms.
That's why her sleeves were turned up, revealing her arms.
When Ye Li saw the mark on her arm, her pupils contracted slightly.
This is……
She still remembered asking Elder Ge of Shuiyun Sect why Master Qingyu had brought back Su Ying'er, a mortal, and even made an exception to accept her as his personal disciple.
Elder Ge mentioned that Master Qingyu changed his mind after seeing the crescent-shaped birthmark on Su Ying'er's arm.
At that moment, Ye Li was shocked to discover that the woman had a crescent-shaped birthmark on her arm.
So, Master Qingyu took Su Ying'er as his disciple because her birthmark was the same as Yuehua's?
As Ye Li's thoughts raced and she tried to sort things out, a sharp pain struck her.
It turned out that the woman's violent struggles had triggered the cage's restraints.
The runes flickered, emitting a blinding and dangerous red light.
The chains tightened suddenly, quickly wrapping around the woman's body and violently slamming her against the cage bars.
"Moonlight!"
As Qingyu Zhenren called out, the woman slammed heavily against the fence, making a dull thud.
The chains never stopped, tightly binding her body.
The dark bars instantly turned into red-hot branding irons, and the sizzling sound of flesh being roasted upon contact was enough to show how cruel it was.
Perhaps because Ye Li was currently in a woman's body, she felt the pain as if it were her own.
The woman let out an angry, mournful cry, her head tilted back, looking up at something unknown, her hoarse voice shrill and piercing.
Qingyu Zhenren, abandoning his usual silence and indifference, strode over, his pupils filled with struggling pain. He opened and closed his lips as if to say something, but Ye Li couldn't hear him at all.
Her body was pressed tightly against the cage, the scorching heat seemed to have burned through her back, and she was unable to think at all.
In that instant, a name appeared in her heart.
Li Yuehua.
The woman's name was Li Yuehua.
She felt a strange sense of familiarity with the name.
Li Yuehua.
who is she?
"..."
-
Meanwhile, in Jiangjiawan.
Master Qingyu frowned slightly as he looked at the endless stream of people around him.
According to his disciples, Ye Li was last seen at Jiangjiawan. He then refused Wen Yao's request and came alone, determined to personally bring Ye Li back to the Tianmen Sect!
After questioning and confirming that "Jiang Li" had indeed returned here, he felt a few doubts.
Since Ye Li possessed Jiang Li's body and was living in her appearance, everything about Jiang Li should be irrelevant to her. What is she doing in Jiangjiawan?
Just as he was about to ask Ye Li what she had done after arriving, he suddenly heard a commotion.
Madam Jiang was pointing at the gate of the Jiang residence and shouting, "This is our residence! Why are you kicking us out! Do you know that my father is a high-ranking official!"
The guard at the door sneered, "A high-ranking official? Can he be higher than the Crown Prince? Let me tell you, kicking you out is just the beginning. Once the accounts are settled, it's not impossible for you to be thrown into prison."
Jiang Gong was terrified and grabbed her, saying, "Let's go quickly!"
Madam Jiang was also frightened and only dared to curse after walking a long distance away.
"It's all that bitch Jiang Li's fault! She must be the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, otherwise why would she have gone to the inn so early!"
"Alright! What's the use of saying all that? All my money has been taken from me. Let's think about what to do next!"
"..."
The noise subsided, and Master Qingyu emerged.
Upon hearing that Jiang Li was at an inn, he skipped a few places and arrived at the inn where Liu Niang was.
When Liu Niang came out and saw that Master Qingyu had an otherworldly and dignified air about him, she politely asked, "May I ask who you are? Do you need something from Xiaoli?"
"I am her master, Qingyu Zhenren of Tianmen Sect."
Upon hearing that she was from the Tianmen Sect, Liu Niang bowed repeatedly, "So it's you, elder. I'm so sorry for not greeting you properly. But Xiao Li isn't here right now. Would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea while we wait?"
Where did she go?
"It seems to be Baiyun Mountain."
