Chapter 138 I'll definitely go along with him.
Because of her terrifying possessiveness towards An Liuyu, Linghu Zhuxu never allowed women to enter the inner city. Even the maids serving her were controlled by her "object manipulation technique".
This time, Linghu Zhuoyu brought that ugly monster into the inner city, and she didn't believe that Linghu Zhuxu would have no reaction after finding out.
“Ah… a woman…” Linghu Zhuxu gripped An Liuyu’s hand tightly for a moment, then released it. “This is the first time he’s brought a woman into the inner city. She’s probably someone he admires or likes.”
What?
Not angry?
How could she not be angry that such a madwoman treated Linghu Zhuoyu like that!
Shen Ningyu's heart was in turmoil, and she was about to add fuel to the fire when she heard the other person say in a sweet voice, "Yulang, he's grown up and has someone in his heart now. He'll be as happy as we are, won't he?"
An Liuyu pulled Linghu Zhuxu into her arms, "Xu'er, you definitely will."
Shen Ningyu finally managed to control her emotions and shut up. She knew that if she continued to talk, she would only annoy this crazy woman. Even though she was unwilling, she could only leave.
She concluded, "Miss Linghu, your love for Young Master An remains unchanged year after year. This Peach Blossom Banquet will surely be admired by nine out of ten people."
She had to take her leave; Shen Ningyu couldn't stand staying in this awful place for even a second longer.
“Unwavering love…” Linghu Zhuxu murmured the words, a dark light flashing in her clear eyes. She looked up at the expressionless An Liuyu, her mind drawing upon her divine sense, wanting to prove a conjecture.
What's wrong?
Did she say something wrong?
Chen Ningyu's heart pounded like a drum.
A moment later, Linghu Zhuxu looked at An Liuyu, who remained motionless even after her divine sense had been drawn out, and her smile vanished, her expression instantly turning cold.
No wonder.
No wonder she felt that Yulang had been unusually well-behaved lately. She thought it was because of the Gu poison and her improved object manipulation skills. She never expected that Yulang's soul was no longer here, and only an empty shell remained!
Who else could do this right under her nose but that person?
Very good.
“Shen Ningyu, I know what you’re thinking,” Linghu Zhuxu’s naive demeanor vanished, her tone nonchalant. “On the day of the Peach Blossom Banquet, throw that woman into the snake pit and kill her. I told you.”
Now that Yulang's soul has been taken away, she naturally no longer needs to pretend to be the pure, innocent person he likes.
Shen Ningyu was startled, delighted by the other party's sudden change in attitude, yet slightly uncomfortable at being seen through. "But... but that woman's cultivation seems to be very high. I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat her, especially with Master Chi present..."
“Tsk,” Linghu Zhuxu looked down on such a stupid and low-level woman, but still patiently said, “I will take care of him. As for that woman… well…”
Shen Ningyu tremblingly caught a petal that the other person had thrown to her, which she had casually picked up in the wind. A transparent membrane covered the petal in her palm, making it seem as if it were floating.
"this?"
"I have inscribed this petal with my divine sense. I will use a wisp of true energy to peel away the outer membrane and place it on that woman."
Amazing! A petal picked casually can be made into a small magical artifact!
Linghu Zhuxu watched Shen Ningyu leave, unable to hide her smile, and then turned her gaze back to An Liuyu. She raised her hand and once again channeled her divine sense into the man's body, watching him smile again.
"Gratitude, love, unwavering."
She spoke each word clearly, then raised her hand and beckoned with her fingertip. Instantly, a command was given to the maidservant on the other side of the peach grove—
"Go and investigate his recent movements, as well as that woman who recently entered the city."
——
An inn within the territory of the Xuan Shuang Sect.
The storyteller in front of the wooden platform was speaking eloquently, "Everyone says that the Holy Son of the Holy Lotus Pavilion is in love with the eldest daughter of the Xuan Shuang Sect, but things are different now. He was so enraged for the sake of a beauty that he directly killed the Grand Elder and his daughter who wanted to kill her at Lianquan, and even alarmed the Pavilion Master who was in seclusion for cultivation..."
"Hey, hey, hey, you're wrong about that. Aren't the Grand Elder and his daughter traitors who colluded with demonic cultivators?"
"What will happen to our young lady if the Holy Son falls in love with the beauty brought back from the secret realm?"
"Go to hell! Our young lady came back from the dead last time to quell the internal strife in the sect and is also a cultivation genius. She's no longer the same as before. Why would she care if he likes her?"
A noisy argument erupted from the audience.
In a corner of the inn, a woman dressed in a dark blue dress, with a cold expression, tossed down a few spirit stones and left.

Mu Jianjian had a few rare days of leisure. On the third day after she had eaten at every restaurant in the city, Linghu Zhuoyu told her that he was free the next day and they could go to the market together.
"Isn't there a peach blossom banquet tomorrow?" she asked curiously, munching on a pastry.
“Sister, the Peach Blossom Banquet is crowded and chaotic,” Linghu Zhuoyu paused, his bright heterochromatic eyes filled with hope as he tentatively asked, “Or… do you want to go to the Peach Blossom Banquet, sister? If you want to go, I can too—”
My sister is so kind and lovely, she'll definitely go along with him.
"No, no, no, let's go to the market instead." Mu Jianjian couldn't bear it.
