Chapter 16: The God with a changing face and a sarcastic expression.
Forcefully suppressing his emotions, Fu Lanting didn't respond to his words. He just put on a cold face and said in a cold voice: "Strong people need experience. You pampering your disciple so much will only backfire."
"You are here today too."
Lin Bozhou glanced at him and spoke in a rude tone.
Although he was a good friend of Fu Lanting, even good friends could not say anything bad about his disciples.
"I'm not here to protect Jiang Qiying."
"Why can't I see anyone here who would bother the dignified Qiling Xianzong's headmaster to make this trip?"
"It's none of your business."
Fu Lanting tightly grasped the jade pendant and looked down at the monks under the clouds. It was impossible to tell where his gaze was specifically fixed.
Lin Bozhou suddenly stared at him carefully, with a trace of inquiry on his face.
He lowered his voice, as if chatting casually: "You are not really in love with a girl, are you?"
What he said just now was just a joke. It was just an ornament and insignificant. But now he really felt that something was wrong.
Fu Lanting has always been a man of his own accord. Even Jiang Qiying cannot get his favor. He can remain calm even if the sky falls. Lin Bozhou really can't think of anything else that he can hide.
"Did I tell you that if you have time to worry about me, you might as well worry more about your disciple and ask her to come to my disciples less."
Fu Lanting turned his head to look at him, and his eyes met his. There was no trace of avoidance in his gaze, only calmness and tranquility.
"When has my Zhaoyue ever harassed your disciple? Stop slandering me."
Perhaps he felt that there was nothing abnormal about him, so Lin Bozhou retorted, then retracted his gaze and continued to look under the clouds.
Fu Lanting felt a little relieved, but he still spoke tough.
"You spoil your apprentice."
Because of the jade pendant, he didn't plan to stay here for long. Lin Bozhou doted on his disciples and would secretly watch them when they came to explore the secret realm, but he didn't have the time for that.
After saying this, he turned and was about to leave.
At this moment, a golden light flashed towards his face from the right, carrying endless sharpness.
Fu Lanting was holding the jade pendant with his right hand, but when something unexpected happened, he raised his hand to block it.
Although the golden light was very sharp, he easily blocked it, but Fu Lanting's expression did not improve.
Although he quickly realized it and covered it again, that moment was enough for a strong man at the Palm Master level.
Lin Bozhou narrowed his eyes and stared at the jade pendant with an unpredictable expression. After a while, he spoke in silence.
"The bright moon shines on the rivers..." He looked up at Fu Lanting, smiling: "Brother Fu, your jade pendant looks a little special."
Fu Lanting's throat moved slightly, his face did not show panic, but his heart beat faster for a moment.
It's not that he was afraid of Lin Bozhou. They were strong men of the same level, and Lin Bozhou might not be his opponent. But in this world, there are only a few people like Jiang Zhaoyue who don't care about anything.
Even someone as cold and indifferent as the leader of the Qi Ling Xian Sect would care about his face.
If his friends discovered that he was having an affair with his apprentice, Jiang Zhaoyue could still say that he was a junior, young and ignorant, but he was not a junior...
Fu Lanting couldn't imagine how he would face it.
At this moment, he even regretted why he agreed to Jiang Zhaoyue's request.
Time suddenly became so long that even the heartbeat was clearly audible. Lin Bozhou looked at him for a long time with a half-smile in his eyes, and finally smiled and said:
"The bright moon shines on the rivers, and the rivers reflect the bright moon. Full Moon Pendant, your little lover, who is so beautiful that he can bloom, could she be a disciple of the Jiyue Immortal Sect? Brother Fu, why are you hiding it? Even if you like a little girl, I won't laugh at you."
Fu Lanting's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly settled down again. He paused for a moment and wanted to deny it, but the words went around in circles on his lips before coming out. After all, denial would require more explanations, and the most taboo thing about words is that the more you say, the more mistakes you will make.
After repeated ups and downs, he finally continued Lin Bozhou's words vaguely: "Yeah."
The disciples of the Jiyue Immortal Sect do like to use the full moon as an accessory.
"Is he really a disciple of the Jiyue Immortal Sect?" Lin Bozhou rarely got to hear gossip about his cold-hearted friend. He raised an eyebrow at Fu Lanting with a hint of curiosity: "Tell me, which disciple? The next time you see that bastard Lian Yueqing, won't you be a generation inferior to him?"
"Never mind your business, just take care of your apprentice."
Fu Lanting didn't want to say more.
"Okay, okay, it's rare to see your iron tree bloom, so it's not a bad thing."
Lin Bozhou was just curious and didn't want to get to the bottom of it. Seeing that he really didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any more questions.
Fu Lanting's heart finally calmed down, but he immediately felt even more annoyed.
It takes a thousand lies to cover up one lie.
He was not familiar with any of the disciples of the Jiyue Immortal Sect. If Lin Bozhou felt like checking them out one day, he would find that there were too many loopholes in his words, and it was impossible for him to really find a disciple of the Jiyue Immortal Sect to pretend to be his lover.
Originally it was just a matter concerning his disciples, but now due to some mistaken circumstances, even he himself was implicated.
Even if he solved Jiang Qiying's problem three months later, he would still have a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, he had no intention of staying any longer.
Fu Lanting glanced at Lin Bozhou, who was looking down at the clouds with a smile on his face, and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
On the other side, Jiang Zhaoyue, who had returned to the tent, had no idea that such a wonderful thing had happened in the sky in such a short time.
As the sun was setting, she finally found the 'real person' she was waiting for.
Jiang Qiying was still holding the box.
Even though he had said that they didn't want to see each other again, he still spoke to her with a familiarity as usual.
"Junior Sister Jiang."
For the first time, Jiang Zhaoyue did not respond to him.
She looked at him a little coldly, and her voice was very unfamiliar.
"Brother Jiang, although I am good at dancing and getting along with everyone, I also have my own intentions. What do you want me to do?"
Jiang Qiying froze, perhaps because he didn't expect her to be so direct, or perhaps he had some secret expectation in his heart, hoping that she would treat him as before.
But he was very clear.
There will never be the same again.
After a few moments of silence, he handed over the box in his hand.
"I'm just here to return the favor."
"The jade talisman given to me by Sect Leader Qi Ling is worth any favor."
"Master's gift is Master's gift, it has nothing to do with me."
He looked determined and insisted that she accept it. Fearing that she would refuse, he added:
"If you accept this, I...will not appear in front of you again."
When he said this, his tone was unusually light, and no one knew what emotion was in his lowered eyes.
The silence lasted for a long time.
Jiang Zhaoyue reached out and took the box.
"Okay," she said.
Just like before when he said they didn't want to meet again, she just replied lightly with "Okay".
All the links have finally been severed. No matter the excuses or the reluctance, from now on, the world is vast and the sky is high, and we really have nothing to do with each other anymore.
Jiang Qiying should have felt relaxed and left gracefully after completing the last thing in her heart.
Since it is for the other person's good, since it is what he expects, and since it is said that a short pain is worse than a long one.
But I don't know why.
The vague strange feeling in his heart still did not ease.
The silent atmosphere spread until someone came over.
Luo Huaiyin, who had just walked out of the tent next door, saw this scene as soon as he looked up. He knew what was happening without thinking.
He didn't want to have any more communication with Jiang Zhaoyue today, but when he saw this scene, he curled up the corners of his lips and walked over with a smile.
"Isn't this Junior Brother Jiang?"
Glancing at the silent Jiang Zhaoyue, he stood beside her, his arms folded across his chest, looking at Jiang Qiying opposite him with a smile and a hint of sarcasm.
"What brings you here, Junior Brother Jiang? You're so noble, you're in such a lowly place! We, the people of Yunmiao Immortal Sect, are not worthy of Junior Brother Jiang's attention. Junior Brother Jiang, you'd better go back quickly, or the Qiling Immortal Sect will blame us for leading a good person like you astray."
Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at him subtly, appreciating him in his mind and through the system with great interest.
"Why did his character suddenly collapse? Did this mouth lick the brain of the human-faced spider?"
System: "Ugh—Host, don't be so disgusting."
"Okay, this mouth licked you, are you satisfied?"
system:"……"
The system paused for a moment before speaking: "He and Jiang Qiying are both geniuses of the same era. Jiang Qiying is younger than him, but his strength is no weaker than his. Perhaps it's normal for him to be jealous of others' talents."
Perhaps he felt her gaze, Luo Huaiyin glanced at her and continued:
"My junior sister's admirers can only be counted from here to Xizhou. They are not worth mentioning. We can't even reach the level of the peerless genius of the Qiling Immortal Sect who is the best of our time. Let's go after chatting. What's the matter? You don't still want to use her to seize the Tianyan Dao Fruit?"
He became more and more angry as he spoke, and Jiang Zhaoyue had to interrupt him.
She coughed twice and said calmly, "Brother Luo, my affairs have nothing to do with you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Huaiyin's face turned bad.
"What's the meaning?"
I don’t know if it’s because he’s disappointed in his students or because his efforts were met with disapproval again, but his tone is more aggressive than before.
"Jiang Zhaoyue, he's treated you like this, and you still want to be nice to him? Why are you taking your anger out on me?"
Perhaps the last sentence is the key point.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just turned his gaze to look at Jiang Qiying. After two breaths of silence, he said softly, "Senior Brother Jiang, I won't see you off."
Luo Huaiyin's expression changed rapidly. He put his anger aside for the moment and quickly polished her words.
"Did you hear that? She told you to get out." The author has something to say:
----------------------
Luo Huaiyin: (Changes to a face)
System: I want a tutorial on how to be mean-spirited. I really need it. (Put your hands together) Please!
Luo Huaiyin: ...
Luo Huaiyin: I’m sorry, Junior Sister Jiang and I have the same personality. Sir, you are blind.
