Chapter 25 Peach Forest at Midnight



"I've finally finished copying the sect rules. I can go out today!" After Yan Ying accompanied Cen Ji in kneeling as punishment last time, she returned to the Sutra Library to continue copying her sect rules.

She didn't have to copy it originally, but in order to plead for Cen Ji, she had to copy all the rules herself.

In this way, she copied furiously for two whole days.

The moment she opened the door, Yan Ying stretched and felt that the air smelled much better.

[System, please tell me where Cen Ji is now? ]

[System: Host, he is in the peach forest.]

Yan Ying happily took the Baili Talisman and teleported to the peach forest.

Now she is getting more and more comfortable using Baili Fu.

When Yan Ying walked to Cen Ji's door, she smiled thinking that she would see Cen Ji again soon.

The next second, she saw someone jump from the silent roof to the back of the house.

"Who is that?"

By the time Yan Ying ran to the back of the house, the man had disappeared.

Yan Ying was afraid that the man would hurt Cen Ji, so she hurriedly pushed open Cen Ji's door.

"Calm!"

Cen Ji was standing in front of the window, looking back at her coldly.

Yan Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I saw someone on your roof just now. Are you okay?"

Cen Ji looked at her with a hint of surprise, then calmed down and did not answer her.

He poisoned her that day and he thought she was destined to die.

"Get out." Cen Ji said in a deep voice without even looking at Yan Ying.

"You...what's wrong with you? You don't look good..." Yan Ying felt something was wrong from the moment she started. Cen Ji's face was particularly dark, and he looked like he was in a bad mood...

"I repeat, get out."

[System: Host, a true man can bend and stretch. Let's go! The murderous aura is too strong!]

Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji helplessly and sighed. "Then I'll come back later."

Cen Ji looked at the closed door coldly, and was distracted for a moment.

Someone had indeed come to his room just now, but there was no danger because the man saluted him and called him Young Master.

He recognized that the man was dressed like someone from the Demon Realm. How ridiculous!

He was just a beggar, and he drove the man away.

The young master of the Demon Realm... He had been wandering since he was young, fighting with dogs for food, and he had no idea what the Demon Realm was.

………

Yan Ying sat by the Mirror Lake, her hands on the ground, looking up at the sky.

[System, I always feel like something is wrong. What is the most recent plot? ]

[System: Host... I'm so sorry, the trial period for the plot search function has expired. Using it again requires points.]

Yan Ying was speechless. She had seen black things, but never one as black as this!

She couldn't remember much of the plot when she read the book, and she only read it once, so she only skimmed through it...

Are there any other tasks? I'm too poor to eat!

[System: Ding Dong! There is a new task, host, please check! ]

Go to the peach forest at midnight tonight and get 100 points as a reward.

What kind of mission is this? Why is she asked to go to the peach forest...

What does this mean? Is there a plot in Taolin tonight?

[System: Host, I don't know either. You'll find out once you go there.]

Yan Ying always felt that this system was broken. There was something weird about these 100 points. There was no way it was a pie falling from the sky.

At night, Yan Ying still sneaked into the peach forest according to the mission.

"Why didn't I find the peach forest so eerie before..."

There were no lights on in the peach forest, and the moon was half-obscured by dark clouds tonight, so the road was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Yan Ying's eyelids kept twitching, and she felt uneasy...

She always felt that something big was going to happen tonight.

Sure enough, as soon as she stood behind a tree, she saw two people not far away.

One of them was silent, and the other one... was wearing a black robe.

When Cen Ji was at the foot of the mountain, he had been following Mu Siyue. He had no other acquaintances, and he didn't have many friends after coming to Kunming Sect. Who could be talking to him?

Why are they here so late at night...it seems like they are plotting something...

Yan Ying didn't dare to breathe. She really couldn't imagine the plot of the situation before her.

That person... looks familiar...

He's the one on the silent rooftop today!

Yan Ying opened her eyes wide but still couldn't see the man's appearance. How could Cen Ji know the people living at the foot of the mountain? What was he doing?

From time to time, the cry of an owl could be heard in the peach forest, and the branches made a creaking sound when blown by the wind.

Yan Ying shrank her neck. She was considering whether to leave. According to the normal plot, if Cen Ji found out that she was here and discovered his secret... he might kill her immediately.

After a while, Yan Ying saw the man in black disappear from her sight. She realized that Cen Ji would also leave, so she withdrew her gaze and leaned against the tree.

Wow, it’s so hard to be a scout.

If there was any slight movement, she was afraid that Cen Ji would come and take her life.

Yan Ying turned around to see if Cen Ji had left, and saw that the place where they had just stood was empty.

He finally left.

Before Yan Ying could fully let go of the breath she had held, she felt something cold crawling up her neck...

Then slowly tighten it.

"Hmm... Cen Ji..." It was Cen Ji's hand on Yan Ying's neck.

He was standing in front of her, looking at her coldly as if she were a dead object.

"Cen Ji... let go... it hurts..." Yan Ying tried hard to pry Cen Ji's hand that was holding her neck.

He almost broke her neck...

The second before Yan Ying lost consciousness, Cen Ji let go of her hand and let her fall to the ground.

The sudden influx of air choked Yan Ying and she started coughing uncontrollably.

What's wrong with Cen Ji again?

"Did you hear everything?" Cen Ji asked coldly.

Why did he always want to kill her? Even though she would be healed the next day, she still felt the pain.

"Ahem... I didn't hear anything... Ahem... he was too far away... I... just saw you talking to him... I won't tell anyone else..." Yan Ying covered her neck and looked up at Cen Ji.

She didn't care what secrets he had, nothing was more important than her life right now...

Cen Ji squatted down and looked directly at Yan Ying.

He couldn't kill her now, she was still useful...
