Jiang Yuetong coldly swept her gaze around, and some of the more timid ones quickly looked away.
Some of them were glaring at her with hatred.
"Master, should I go and handle this?" Ru Jing asked softly.
Jiang Yuetong didn't take them seriously at all, her red lips curving slightly: "No need, they're just defeated opponents."
This is someone else's territory, so it's best to behave yourself.
At this moment, two more groups of people appeared in mid-air, landing on either side of Jiang Yuetong's group.
Yi Ci, dressed in blue, strode over, keenly noticing that most people's eyes were on them.
His intuition told him that something bad must have happened here before.
"Were you bullied?"
Yi Ci stared at Jiang Yuetong's exquisite face, his eyes narrowing dangerously into slits, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowing.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at him, retorting, "Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Oh dear, look how unhappy this young lady looks. Our Lord Yi Ci is heartbroken. He should show her some more concern." Yuan Shuchen raised an eyebrow and smiled.
As the governor of Cangyun Prefecture, the three of them had known each other for nearly a hundred years, so they naturally knew about Yi Ci's little scheme.
He just wants an older man to mate with a younger woman.
Jiang Yuetong looked at Yuan Shuchen and smiled without saying a word.
In the book, this guy is actually a deeply affectionate second male lead!
He has a powerful background and great strength. He was originally a womanizer, but after meeting the female lead, Li Qingrong, he has remained chaste.
He helped Li Qingrong many times, helping her rise to the top step by step, but unfortunately, Li Qingrong did not like him in the end.
This guy played a crucial role in Li Qingrong's ability to kill her in her past life.
This time, she's going to cripple Yuan Shuchen!
As time passed, night soon fell.
Suddenly someone shouted: "The secret realm has opened!"
A commotion arose in the crowd, and the Holy Sword Sect disciples who were closest to the entrance were the first to enter the secret realm.
Jiang Yuetong stared at the group of people for a long time before finally catching a glimpse of Li Qingrong at the very back.
She followed closely behind with the people behind her.
"Remember not to get separated," Jiang Yuetong instructed.
Then, the roar of a monster echoed from the sky.
"Look! The people from the Wu Tian Empire are here again!"
...
Jiang Yuetong had originally been following Li Qingrong, intending to kidnap her again when no one was paying attention.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they landed on a cliff.
The mountains are dark and boundless, with cliffs as sharp as if carved by a knife and axe, reaching to the sky. The winding, interconnected mountains seem to compete with each other, each one taller than the last.
“Master, there’s a small path over there,” Rujing said, pointing in a direction.
They searched the surrounding area and found no magical beasts, only a path leading directly to the ground from the edge of the cliff.
Jiang Yuetong turned and strode away, saying calmly, "Let's find a place where we can train."
Although we failed to kidnap Li Qingrong, the secret realm will be open for a month, so there will always be a chance to meet her again.
No rush.
"Yes!" Ru Jing and the twenty-eight elites quickly followed.
As soon as the group reached the foot of the cliff, the roar of a monster came from not far away in the forest.
"Judging from the weak sound, it must be an injured ironback bear."
Jiang Yuetong withdrew her gaze, glanced at Ru Jing and the others with a slight tilt of her head, and said softly, "Go and get it."
Ru Jing nodded and led her people over.
Jiang Yuetong walked behind them, unhurried and calm.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Yuetong finally approached the location of the Iron-Backed Bear.
An angry voice rang out.
"We were the ones who injured it first, you were just picking up the scraps, why can't we get half of this monster?!"
Ru Jing held a blood-stained sword in both hands, standing alone in front of the group, with the Iron-Backed Bear being dismembered behind her.
