Chapter 163 Using Magic to Defeat Magic
The fragmented sounds around her reached Jin Fuzhen's ears intermittently. She looked up incredulously at the palace gate. Although her eyes were blindfolded with silk, through the words of others and the familiar presence approaching, she had to admit one fact—
Mu Jianjian did not die.
How is that possible?
With Lord Qu's intervention... how could Mu Jianjian still be alive!
Kim Bok-jin's mind was in chaos. The news of her having her head shaved that night spread throughout the palace, but in the end, no trace of the mastermind could be found!
Beside her, Ye Wuluo gently fanned himself, dressed in a red brocade robe, languid and frivolous, his peach blossom eyes slightly upturned, his gaze fixed on the figure entering the palace at the gate, his eyes filled with amazement.
The aloof woman didn't even glance at him. As Ye Wuluo felt defeated, the news his subordinates had recently brought him surfaced in his mind.
He spoke calmly, feigning concern for the woman who seemed upset, "Jinwu Ji Nu, what's wrong?"
Jin Fuzhen smelled the dark fragrance of the man beside her and was instantly immersed in the gentleness of his words. However, if she could open her eyes, she would have seen that the man's eyes only held scrutiny and coldness towards her.
"Thinking about what happened in the palace before made me feel a little sad, but thinking about it, my fellow disciples in the shrine shaved their heads to pray to Buddha. Now I have turned misfortune into blessing, and I will be more sincere when I pray."
Kim Bok-jin raised a gentle smile, her voice, neither too loud nor too soft, reaching the ears of everyone in the hall. Her short sentence was enough to make people admire her magnanimity and kindness.
What woman, after having her head shaved, would not hide it but instead openly display it and consider it a blessing?
"Zhen'er, don't worry, after the banquet, I will definitely find the person who harmed you!" The man behind Jin Fuzhen was dressed in a light yellow brocade robe, looking at the woman with heartache.
"It's alright, Senior Brother Hongze." Jin Fuzhen spoke softly, but in reality, she couldn't contain her anger at the man's voice.
waste!
You think you can find it now, but after the banquet? Dream on!
It was disgusting to look at her like that. With her qualifications and status, how could he compare to her?
Only the Holy Son of Nightless City is worthy of her!
Jin Hongze was completely unaware of the woman's true feelings; instead, he felt even more sorry for her.
Mu Jianjian naturally heard Jin Fuzhen's fake voice from the main hall. She glanced at the woman's brand-new head and then saw the woman's hand tightly clutching the hem of her clothes behind her back.
He then glanced at the expressions of the three people and got a piece of the action.
Jin Hongze, the biological son and disciple of the head of the Jinwu Temple, has mediocre cultivation and ordinary temperament, which is one of the reasons why the head of the temple adopted Jin Fuzhen as his goddaughter. He admires Jin Fuzhen but dares not confess his feelings.
It's definitely a love triangle.
The thought flashed through her mind, but Mu Jianjian didn't take it to heart.
She looked down at the various delicacies laid out on the jade table in front of her, and for a moment she was mesmerized. She swallowed hard without making a sound, wanting to secretly reach out and take some, but she restrained herself from the desire.
“Jianjian, those sitting opposite us are from the Supreme Palace,” Sang Wanyue said, sitting next to Mu Jianjian. She glanced helplessly at the girl and then secretly explained the identities of the people around them to her through telepathy. “The one in the lead is Elder Xu, the Vice Palace Master of the Supreme Palace, and next to Elder Xu is his disciple, Gong Yuanjin…”
Gong Yuanjin?
She knows.
As Mu Jianjian listened to the woman's cool and aloof voice, her eyes remained glued to the food on the table.
Nangong Yining and her senior brother haven't arrived yet. If she secretly eats a little first, no one will see, right?
Mu Jianjian rolled up her wide sleeves to cover herself, and was about to snatch the pastry in front of her with lightning speed when a voice suddenly came out.
"I've long heard that the young lady of the Xuan Shuang Sect has recovered her health and leaped to the Foundation Establishment stage, possessing extraordinary talent and secret techniques. Would you be so kind as to take advantage of this banquet to have a friendly spar with me?"
Mu Jianjian clicked her tongue inwardly, finally shifting her gaze from the pastries in front of her and looking up at Jin Hongze, who had stood up with a provocative expression.
What?
To outsiders, no matter how powerful she becomes after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, she would never be able to defeat the son of the Golden Crow Shrine Master, who has been at the Foundation Establishment stage for a long time.
Is he trying to vent his anger on behalf of Kim Bok-jin?
“Young Master Jin, you must have heard about the danger my junior sister encountered in the palace today. If you really want to spar, you are welcome to challenge me.”
Before Mu Jianjian could even speak, Sang Wanyue twitched her lips and gently returned Jin Hongze's words, her eyes glaring at the man, clearly showing her protectiveness.
Jin Hongze was stunned for a moment, not expecting this newcomer of the Xuan Shuang Sect to suddenly appear.
She's a Core Formation cultivator who's not even twenty yet!
He is a true genius renowned among the various sects on the mainland, but now that he is over fifty years old, he has not even touched the threshold of Core Formation. How can he compete with her?
Mu Jianjian lowered her head and used her long hair to hide her smile. If she didn't have to maintain the demeanor of "Miss Xuan Shuang," she would have slapped her thigh and laughed loudly three times.
Having the female lead protecting me is so satisfying!
“Senior Brother Hongze, it’s alright if Miss Mu is too delicate to be willing,” Jin Fuzhen coughed, covering her mouth. “After all, Miss Mu has only been cultivating for a few months, so it’s understandable that she is timid. It’s just a pity that we won’t be able to see Miss Mu’s secret technique.”
Mu Jianjian's surging emotions instantly turned into silence.
So he was waiting for her here again?
Trying to outdo her in being sarcastic and unpredictable?
Mu Jianjian reached out and gently tugged at Sang Wanyue's sleeve, signaling her to come over.
"Thank you for understanding me, Sister Jin. I was really startled when Young Master Jin said he wanted to spar with me. I was worried that he would bully me because of what happened at the Rainbow Pavilion. Now it seems I misunderstood," she said, flashing a standard, innocent, fake smile. "Oh, by the way, I called you 'sister.' Will you be angry?"
Humans experience joys and sorrows, separations and reunions; cattle and horses add color to life.
Jin Fuzhen nearly vomited blood from anger when she looked at the innocent and kind-hearted girl in front of her.
What do you mean by being afraid of being bullied because of the Ni Chang Pavilion incident?
This was the very thing that caused the feud, but I never expected the other side to be so blunt and say it out loud!
And what's with calling her "sister"?!
Did she agree?
"Of course not." Kim Bok-jin shook her head through gritted teeth.
“If Jinwu Ji Nu really wants to see it, why not have a match with Jianjian herself?” Ye Wuluo said, waving his fan slightly. “If you win the match after the grand banquet starts, you might even be able to ask the Demon Lord for a prize.”
When Mu Jianjian saw the male protagonist of the book give her a fawning look, she glanced at Yueyue with her peach blossom eyes and instantly understood what the other woman meant.
Ye Wuluo is acting as a troublemaker, hoping to make Jin Fuzhen embarrass herself.
"Is sister willing?" Mu Jianjian once again flashed her perfect smile and began to sing along with Ye Wuluo, "If you are willing, I have no problem with it, but I am a bit timid, so I hope sister can go easy on me and take care of me."
So, she's a white lotus, right? Then she'll be a green tea b*tch, using magic to defeat magic.
