"Sect Leader Leng, Sect Leader Yue, Piaopiao and Tianliang, these two children, have sacrificed themselves in the East Sea..." The Grand Elder thought for a moment, but still chose to conceal the truth, only saying that they had sacrificed themselves in the struggle for treasure.
"Impossible! You can all come back, why can't Piaopiao come back!" Leng Yuelan shouted in disbelief. Everyone thought she was just heartbroken, after all, Liu Piaopiao was her prized disciple whom she had personally trained.
"Sect Leader Leng, please accept my condolences!" Shen Qingqiu said regretfully.
"Elder, where is Sister Xiao Jiu?" Liu Yiyi tugged at the elder's sleeve.
"she······"
"Little Yiyi, I'm here!"
A familiar voice came from the crowd, and everyone turned to look. Under everyone's gaze, Ji Jiuying walked over in a few steps.
"It's Miss!"
"Xiao Jiu!"
"Huh, when did Senior Sister get back?"
"You forgot, this senior sister is someone who possesses a dragon, so of course she returned riding a divine dragon!"
······
"Sister Xiao Jiu, I thought you were..." Liu Yiyi said worriedly as she approached Ji Jiuying.
"What? Are you worried about me?" Ji Jiuying asked with a smile.
Liu Yiyi nodded, when a discordant voice broke in.
"You ungrateful wretch! Your elder sister is dead, and instead of caring about her, you're concerned about an outsider. Maybe Piaopiao's death is related to her!" Leng Yuelan said coldly. She thought Ji Jiuying had also died in the East Sea, but she didn't expect her to return ahead of schedule.
"Sect Leader Leng, Yiyi is still young. How can you say such things in front of a child?" Yue Dongling frowned slightly.
Ji Jiuying sneered, "Sect Leader Leng, did I desecrate your ancestral graves or kill your family members? Why are you targeting me like this?"
She killed Liu Piaopiao. It wasn't that she didn't want to admit it, but the academy had its own rules. Although the old man and the Grand Elder would protect her, she didn't want to cause trouble and embarrass them. At the same time, she would tell Liu Rumeng the truth about what happened. If they wanted revenge, they could come to her, Ji Jiuying.
"Hmph, everyone knows you and Piaopiao have a history."
Ji Jiuying almost laughed at her words. At this moment, the Grand Elder spoke up and stopped her, "Alright, Sect Master Leng, the reason why Piao Piao lost her life in the East Sea is entirely her own fault. She has no one to blame but herself. I will report this matter to the Dean in accordance with the truth."
Leng Yuelan reluctantly shut her mouth.
As soon as the elders left, a group of people swarmed forward, surrounding Wen Chuyu and Ji Jiuying and their group.
"Senior Sister, what is the peerless spiritual treasure of the East Sea?"
"Senior Brother Chuyu, is the East Sea dangerous?"
"Senior Sister Miaoqing, did you obtain any treasures?"
"Senior Brother Yue, you all..."
Ji Jiuying and Wen Chuyu exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly. "Stop, stop, stop. What you want to know will be revealed soon. I have a lot of refining stones and spiritual herbs that I found in the East Sea. If you want them, it depends on how fast you can grab them!"
After speaking, Ji Jiuying used her spiritual power to scatter some of the items from her spatial storage onto the open ground of the plaza. Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to grab the spiritual herbs and refining stones.
"What are you all standing there for? Run!"
After Ji Jiuying finished speaking, she was the first to slip away. The others looked at each other and then left one after another.
In the courtyard.
A group of people surrounded Ji Jiuying in the middle.
Ji Jiuying: ······
"Xiao Jiu, you're something else. Tell me honestly, who was that man?" Shen Miaoqing narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Miaoqing, it's not convenient to talk about his identity right now," Ji Jiuying replied truthfully.
"I feel like that man's figure looks familiar," Wen Longting said, placing her finger on her chin as she carefully recalled the scene.
Ji Jiuying; No, no, no, you absolutely mustn't look familiar...
"Senior Sister, have you and that handsome man already secretly pledged your lives to each other?"
Bai Mengfan recalled the handsome man's domineering words, "I am her man!" She looked at Ji Jiuying expectantly. This senior sister was not only beautiful, but also so powerful, and she had a handsome and strong fiancé. She was so envious.
Wen Longxiu also looked at Ji Jiuying, her eyes flickering slightly. How could she not understand her brother's thoughts? She was afraid her brother would be disappointed!
"Hmm~ I guess so!" Ji Jiuying pondered for a moment, then nodded. Since she had already accepted him in her heart, then he was the one she loved, and it could be considered that they had secretly pledged their lives to each other, right?
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, surprised that Xiao Jiu had kept such a deep secret. Among those present, only Qing Ling remained calm.
The trip to the East Sea was coming to an end, but news of Ji Jiuying obtaining the Twin Flowers was spreading rapidly from various places...
——
A man dressed in a black robe lay languidly on a soft couch. The hem of his robe was embroidered with golden dragon patterns. His face, with its sharp features, was expressionless, and his long, narrow, and bewitching black eyes were unfathomable. He was unrestrained and arrogant, like a king descending, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Listening to Yingyue's report, Gong Mingyue's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of hostility lurking beneath his surface. His eyes darkened, and a murderous aura instantly filled the air. He parted his lips slightly, "Hua Shi'an?"
After a while, he finally told Gong Mingyue everything that had happened to Ji Jiuying during this period.
"I will leave the Feng family's affairs to Yin Han. As for you, you no longer need to protect Jiu'er!"
Yingyue was startled. Could it be that his master was blaming him for failing to protect the mistress and was going to transfer him away from the Cangming Continent? How could that be…?
"Master, I still have things to finish, and I cannot leave the Cangming Continent!" Yingyue knelt down with a thud.
