Chapter 196: Seem ordinary from afar, but hideous up close.



Xu Xingzhi spoke with such righteous indignation, as if he had suffered a great injustice because of his relationship with Xi Ling'er.

Not to mention Rong Zi and his group who were secretly eavesdropping.

Even Yun Qin was speechless.

With Xu Xingzhi's looks and talent, becoming Xi Ling'er's fiancé is surely a great honor for him.

This person seems to have absolutely no self-awareness...

Yun Qin lost patience with Xu Xingzhi, and her voice deepened.

“No matter how much you don’t like her, she is still your fiancée. I, Yun Qin, am not the kind of person who would interfere in other people’s relationships. Please, Fellow Daoist Xu, do not say those kinds of things to me again.”

She thought that Xu Xingzhi was, after all, the eldest son of the Xu family, one of the seven great cultivation families, and he clearly had feelings for her. Keeping him hanging on might be useful in the future.

Although his appearance and talent were both poor.

But he's so good at putting on an act, and he's quite successful at cultivating a gentle and refined image, so he must be fairly calm and composed.

But it seems that she made a mistake.

Xu Xingzhi is probably just an actor, all he does is put on an act.

As for temperament.

Someone like him isn't even worthy of carrying Song Tianyu's shoes.

It probably won't be of much use in the future.

Thinking of this, Yun Qin was too lazy to deal with Xu Xingzhi anymore, and cupped her hands and said a few words.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

After finishing her own words, she turned and left alone.

Xu Xingzhi watched Yun Qin's departing figure, his brows furrowed. He raised his hand and called out, "Miss Yun."

Yun Qin pretended not to hear, quickened her pace, and soon disappeared from his sight.

Xu Xingzhi stood there, watching the direction she had left, his eyes filled with greed and obsession. He muttered something to himself.

"It's all Xi Ling'er's fault. If it weren't for her, Yun Qin would definitely have accepted me."

"If only Xi Ling'er could disappear..."

...

After finishing their meal, Rong Zi and the other four left quietly.

Zhu Haohao angrily cursed, "That Xu Xingzhi is shameless! He already has a fiancée, yet he still confesses his love to another woman!"

"He always puts on such a respectable act, I never expected him to be this kind of person!" Shen Wanxin echoed.

Qi Yufei frowned as he thought about Xu Xingzhi's last moments. "Judging from the way that Xu looked just now, I have a feeling he might do something to Wu... to Miss Xi."

Zhu Haohao was shocked. "No way?"

No matter how much he dislikes her, she's still his fiancée.

Surely he wouldn't be that heartless and insane?

Shen Wanxin continued, "It's probably impossible. With his cultivation level, Miss Xi could take on both of them by herself. Besides, given the relationship between the Xu and Xi families, he probably wouldn't dare to do anything to Miss Xi. At most, he would just break off the engagement with her."

It's better to break off the engagement with a man like that.

He is not good enough for Xi Ling'er.

Rong Zi listened quietly to their conversation, her eyes narrowing subtly.

That's quite possible.

In the original novel, Xu Xingzhi made a move against Xi Ling'er not long after confessing his feelings to Yun Qin.

It was getting late, and after chatting for a while, Zhu Haohao and Shen Wanxin said goodbye to Rong Zi and the others, and went back to their respective residences.

Rong Zi and his two apprentices lived in a small courtyard.

Moreover, the courtyard where they lived was very remote.

Logically speaking, Ling Mo, being a Nascent Soul cultivator, should have been able to live in a better courtyard after joining the Demon Extermination Team. However, because Rong Zi, a Qi Refining cultivator, was there, the courtyard they were assigned to was a bit remote.

But this was exactly what Rong Zi wanted.

After all, living in a decent location makes it inconvenient to cause trouble...

On their way back, Rong Zi and his two disciples turned a corner and accidentally discovered that the illusion spell on Ling Mo had failed.

She paused for a moment, then asked, "The illusion on you has worn off?"

Even though Rong Zi and the others had consumed its petals, the illusions cast by Little Sunflower could only reveal some abnormalities.

To completely see through its illusion, one needs to channel one's spiritual power into one's eyes.

Therefore, when Rong Zi and Qi Yufei face Ling Mo, what they see is actually the same as what everyone else sees.

They all have that same face that looks ordinary from afar, but is incredibly ugly up close.

When Rong Zi suddenly saw Ling Mo's handsome face, she almost didn't react.

Ling Mo touched his face and then asked Qi Yufei beside him.

"What time is it now?"

Qi Yufei replied, "Hai Shi (9-11 PM)."

Ling Mo: "It is indeed time."

Last night, Little Sunflower cast an illusion on him at Hai Shi (9-11 PM), and it's been exactly twelve hours now.

Qi Yufei looked around and asked Rong Zi in a low voice, "Master, what do we do now? If someone sees his face, we're doomed!"

This is the headquarters of the Demon Extermination Squad!

The portrait of the third senior brother is posted everywhere.

It's safe to say that the people here are probably more familiar with the Third Senior Brother's face than with their own.

If someone sees this...

Rong Zi quickly took out a Transformation Pill and handed it to Ling Mo, saying, "Take one before anyone sees."

"Um."

Ling Mo nodded and was about to swallow the Hundred Transformations Pill when a person suddenly walked towards him from the other end of the corner.

The other party seemed to have not expected to encounter someone here at this time, and lost control of their footing, almost bumping headfirst into Qi Yufei.

Fortunately, the other party was quite skilled and dodged Qi Yufei with a quick movement.

only.

Qi Yufei avoided it.
