Chapter 14 Both of them need to be tricked
This kind of complete trust is just too much!
After calming herself down, Mu Jianjian said to Aunt Ye, "I can save you, but you have to recount the whole story."
Aunt Ye looked up, her tearful eyes shining brightly, "Really...?"
For Sister Ye, let alone recounting it once, she would do anything if someone was willing to help.
——
Sun Yu followed Mu Jianjian into the front hall. He recalled the scene when the girl gave her pills to the couple. "Sister is so kind. She just gave away the Grade 3 Qi-Boosting Pills like that."
His tone was slightly sarcastic.
So when she saw him trapped in the illusion by his inner demons, she would have saved anyone, right?
Mu Jianjian sighed, "She could have simply said that her opponent was a stranger who was evenly matched with Qiu Bin. There was no need to bring up the name 'Third Young Master of Hehuan Palace' to dissuade us. Besides, revealing the opponent's strength... that would have given us a chance to think and weigh our options."
Mu Jianjian saw things very clearly.
Despite her hesitation, Sister Ye did not deceive or conceal anything from them for personal gain. Even when she was in a difficult situation, she retained her kindness to the greatest extent possible.
That's what touched her the most.
"So, sister, are you going to save Qiu Bin?"
How could that be! She's not a saint. Mu Jianjian chuckled, "I promised her I'd save someone, but I didn't say who I was going to save."
A kind-hearted but principled older sister.
Sun Yu looked into the girl's bright and mischievous eyes, becoming increasingly curious about her true appearance.
"But they were so indifferent to your death before, completely ignoring it." The system's pitiful voice appeared.
“We are all ordinary people. If I were in that situation, I probably wouldn’t have intervened either,” Mu Jianjian replied. “If someone could step in against their own circumstances, they wouldn’t be an ordinary person; they would be a hero.”
In such a cruel world of cultivation, she did not expect the appearance of heroes.
The system was stunned by the girl's words. It thought that choosing a host like Mu Jianjian was truly an extremely lucky thing.
——
As Sister Ye described, Qiu Bin and Cui Wenxiao were locked in a fierce battle in the front hall, and now they were at a stalemate, almost to the point of fighting naked.
Qiu Bin gritted her teeth, barely dodging Cui Wenxiao's attack, and flipped onto the hanging lamp in the corner. Undeterred, she continued to ask, "Third Young Master, we can make peace. Otherwise, if we are pushed too far, we will both perish, and neither of us will benefit."
What a disgusting, perverted freak! Someone several levels above her still resorts to poison and underhanded tactics!
The Luo Yan needles deeply embedded in her back had long since drained her true energy, leaving Qiu Bin extremely exhausted and fighting entirely on her physiological instincts.
Hearing this, Cui Wenxiao almost burst out laughing. If he agreed to make peace, this crazy woman would probably poison him to death!
Despite being three levels taller than this person, he had no suppressive power whatsoever. The bizarre poison technique made him feel as if he were being torn apart and fainting when he used even a trace of his true energy.
If it weren't for his pure and righteous inner energy, he would have almost thought the other party was a demonic cultivator in disguise!
"Give me the antidote first, and I'll remove the Luo Yan Needle from your body, how about that?" Cui Wenxiao smiled sinisterly, a malicious scheme flashing in his eyes.
Once he recovers, he will tear her to pieces!
“Young Master, please take out the Luo Yan Needle first, and I will give you the antidote.” Qiu Bin wasn’t stupid.
Neither of them was willing to back down, and the situation once again reached a stalemate.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside. Hope flickered in Qiu Bin's eyes. Was it Master Ye or Sister-in-law Ye?
As long as someone helps her break this deadlock, she is confident that together they can take down those bastards on the other side!
Cui Wenxiao scoffed lightly, but his eyes unconsciously turned nervously outside.
A black-haired woman dressed in light-colored cloth walked in, her face gradually emerging from the darkness, leaving the two who were locked in a stalemate stunned.
Qiu Bin was incredulous, while Cui Wenxiao was overjoyed.
Wearing the Human Skin Mask 1.0, Mu Jianjian appeared beside the two of them. She seemed to notice Cui Wenxiao, who looked disheveled, first.
"Third Young Master, isn't this the Third Young Master?" The coquettish voice returned, and Mu Jianjian exaggeratedly covered her mouth, making her way to Cui Wenxiao. "Third Young Master, look how destined we are to meet in such a vast secret realm."
Cui Wenxiao looked at Qiu Bin, who had lost all color in her face, and a smug smile crept across his face. It seemed that fate was still on his side.
"What happened to Third Young Master?" Mu Jianjian asked with concern, looking at the disheveled Cui Wenxiao.
"You, help me kill this thing in front of me," Cui Wenxiao felt he was now completely at ease. Although the woman in front of him had only just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, with his help, he was sure she could kill this poisonous woman. "I will befriend you, and the Hehuan Palace will treat you as an honored guest."
Who wants to be your friend!
Mu Jianjian rolled her eyes inwardly. Besides, could you even make decisions about the Hehuan Palace? You're just making empty promises without even thinking... it's all fake!
Mu Jianjian seemed to only then notice the figure of another person beside her. She pretended to be surprised and turned to point at Qiu Bin, "Was it you who fought with the Third Young Master? You tried to harm me, but you're still here stealing other people's opportunities and treasures. You're shameless."
Qiu Bin was filled with resentment and anger. Wasn't this woman dead? How could she be here again!
Her mind raced, and she could only lament that the Daoist couple were useless and no one could help her. "Miss, we had some misunderstandings before."
"Misunderstanding? You using me as a shield is a misunderstanding?" Mu Jianjian sneered, her eyes widening, perfectly portraying a person filled with resentment and frustration.
“Young lady, I was foolish before,” Qiu Bin said, wanting to live. She regretted her actions and never expected that there would be anyone in such a remote and secluded place. “If you don’t help this time, I will do you a favor and give you the treasure…”
If she had to choose again, she definitely wouldn't abandon Sun Yu for the beast core!
"Hahahaha," before Qiu Bin could finish speaking, Cui Wenxiao burst into laughter, "What she can give you, I can give you too; what she can't give you, I can give you. What's there to hesitate about?"
The person who came had a grudge against her! Wasn't this heaven helping him?
After killing this madwoman and curing the poison, the treasure will still be entirely under his control.
Mu Jianjian clearly saw the ruthlessness that flashed in Cui Wenxiao's eyes, and of course she knew what this guy was thinking.
Mu Jianjian raised her "pure and kind" smile and said to Cui Wenxiao, "Third Young Master, it's true that I also want to kill this person, but she is five levels higher than me, and besides, half of my Qingling Sword was destroyed in the previous fight."
Sad words came from Mu Jianjian's mouth. She took out the jade sword she had used in the previous battle from her spatial bag. Her eyes instantly filled with tears, and she reluctantly touched the hilt of the sword with both hands.
"This Qingling Sword was a keepsake left to me by my master, and now that it's been destroyed like this, it's probably unusable..."
System: This is clearly a sword you just picked up randomly from the black market, okay? And where is it damaged? You're the only one who can lie through your teeth.
Cui Wenxiao saw through Mu Jianjian's trick at a glance, but he didn't expose her. "I will use a magic weapon to help you. The Nine Heavens Silk is a top-quality long-range weapon. It is as slow as silk and as fast as iron. You can use it to cut off her head in one fell swoop."
He glanced at Mu Jianjian's wide grin, which stretched to her ears, and felt disdain.
As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of satin, like a red ribbon, appeared in Mu Jianjian's hand. Cui Wenxiao readily wiped away the ribbon with his divine sense, and it shimmered with golden light in her hand.
Wow! A golden legend!
Even a complete novice like Mu Jianjian could tell at a glance that it was no ordinary item, and she was secretly delighted.
"Third Young Master, I will certainly not fail your expectations." She nodded firmly, and the moment she imprinted her divine sense onto the satin, the intense heat of the flames immediately flowed into her entire body.
Mu Jianjian raised the Nine Heavens Silk and slashed it at Qiu Bin, whose face was pale with defeat!
In the blink of an eye, the satin was stopped by a purple figure. Qiu Bin looked up in surprise—it was—
Sun Yu!
Sun Yu blocked the attack, glanced at Qiu Bin indifferently, and smiled lightly, "We meet again."
