Chapter 71: Should I Listen?

  "What's the big idea calling me in the middle of the night!" Chu Yang was very annoyed, "I'm right in the middle of a beauty sleep!"

  If there's no good reason, just watch him deal with this fat girl!

  "Alright," said Luo Yunnan, "release her from her restraints and let her go!"

  "What's going on?" Chu Yang only then discovered that there was another person in the room, crying with tears streaming down her face. Upon closer inspection, he found her somewhat familiar, "What did you do?"

  "Not now, you finish your work first, I'll tell you in detail later."

  "You can't untie it yourself and have to call me over." Chu Yang was very dissatisfied.

  Luoyu held out her wrist in front of his eyes, "You'll understand why I called you here once you take a look."

  Chu Yang's divine consciousness probed and only then did he discover Luo Yu's abnormality, exclaiming in surprise: "It's Blue Seal Flower, how do you have this thing?" As an alchemist, his understanding of spiritual medicine far surpassed Luo Yu's. The Blue Seal Flower was extremely rare in the Cultivation Realm, and he had only seen it in ancient texts.

  "Considering the state of spiritual energy within you, it will take at least 12 hours to fully absorb the blue silk. Before that, you won't be able to use your spiritual energy... Tsk tsk, what a bold move!"

  She raised her head to see Luo Yu's calm expression, Chu Yang thought she knew about this beforehand and suddenly became angry: "In your current state, how can you go on stage for the competition tomorrow? The 100 top-grade spirit stones I bet on you will all be wasted!"

  "I also bet 100 mid-grade spirit stones, that's all my assets, do you think I'm willing to do this?" Luo Yu shouted back at him, "If we lose the match, not only will I be penniless, but I'll also lose the quota for the Qing Huang secret manual that's within my grasp!"

  Chu Yang was startled by Luo Yu's loud voice, and at this time he already understood that Luo Yu was being framed. He glanced at the person carving, "It was her who did it!" His tone was exceptionally certain.

  Jian Luo Yu nodded, he was so angry that he couldn't help but slap her forehead with his fan: "How can you be so stupid! Living on the same mountain peak for four years without showing your face, and when such an old friend suddenly comes to visit, you accept them without any hesitation, and even eat the things they bring. Huang Luo Yu, do you have a brain!"

  Luoyu's eyes were red-rimmed, Chu Yang was right, she really was stupid to the core. She wasn't without suspicion, it's just that she herself had suppressed her doubts.

  "Let her go, I don't want to see her." Luoyu's voice was hoarse.

  "Hmph!" Chu Yang turned his head and looked at Luo Yu with a difficult expression, his heart wasn't feeling good either.

  He lifted Li Yanran with one hand and flew to a secluded mountain top, released her restraints, and threw them to the ground.

  "What do you want to do?" Li Yanran clasped her hands over her chest and took a step back.

  "Hmph!" Chu Yang looked down at her with a sneer, his eyes revealing mockery: "With your looks, even if you begged me to take you, I wouldn't want you! I brought you here only to warn you, don't go looking for Luo Yu again, or else I'll make sure you die an ugly death!"

  "By the way, you're so concerned about Song Ning, I suppose you must be very interested in his affairs. I have something about him here, do you want to hear it?"

  Li Yanran looked at Chu Yang's fierce gaze, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She felt that what Chu Yang was about to say was definitely not good news. Her teeth began to chatter: "No, no, I don't want to hear it!"

  "Haha, do you think I'll cater to your wishes?" Chu Yang revealed a sly smile as he gazed at the other person's fearful yet expectant eyes: "Half a year ago, Liu Zhengdong's niece, Liu Pingxi, snuck into Qingxuantan at midnight and released ink, jiao, yin, and囊. Oh, I forgot to mention that Song Ning has mysophobia and goes to Qingxuantan for a bath every night. Do you know what happened next? You're shaking your head, don't want to hear it? I know what you're afraid of, no need to worry, your Shifu Song is perfectly fine."

  As soon as he walked into the Qingxuan Pool, he sensed that someone was peeking at him from the side, and the pool water also seemed a bit unusual. So, he threw Liu Pingxi, who was peeking, into the pool and turned to leave. What will happen next? Why are your eyes wide open like that? Don't you believe me? Ha! You think Song Ning is always gentle and elegant, and he would be infinitely tolerant of the female cultivator who harassed him? Then you don't understand him. He's a good talker, but only because no one has touched his bottom line... So, not only did Song Ning leave, but he also sealed off the entire Qingxuan Pool, not letting anyone approach until dawn. It wasn't until then that Liu Zhangmen found out about this and saw his niece, who was on the verge of collapse from being tormented by desire and longing. He couldn't bear it, so he casually grabbed an inner sect disciple and threw him in. What happened next doesn't need to be said, haha! Liu Shimei's dual cultivation ceremony is going to take place soon.

  Chu Yang looked at Li Yanran, who was shivering with fear, and still felt it wasn't enough. He took a step closer and said: "On the first day of every month, you change your appearance and appear around Qingning's small shop. You think I and Song Ning don't know? Ha ha, the only one who is truly clueless is that silly girl Luo Yu. Song Ning and I just didn't take you seriously because there are too many women like you, and we deliberately didn't remind Luo Yu, hoping she would learn a lesson from you, so she wouldn't be so naive all the time, or else she'll get herself killed! But I didn't expect that you would have such a big move, humph, Blue Seal Flower, even I haven't seen it before, and you can actually take it out to set up an ambush. I underestimated you!"

  "The Blue Seal Flower is not mine, it's...it's..." Li Yanran was sweating profusely and hastily explaining, she couldn't take the blame for someone else. But when Huang Luo Yi's name reached her lips, she couldn't say it no matter what. Her face turned pale, eyes wide with terror. It turned out that Huang Luo Yi had placed a seal on her long ago, but she hadn't noticed anything when she checked her body.

  Song Ning sneered: "No need to look, the other layer of prohibition on your body can't even be lifted by me, so don't bother trying. If I didn't know you weren't the main culprit, do you think I'd let you off? Oh, if it were up to me, I'd kill both the main and secondary culprits together and be done with it. But Luo Yu is too soft-hearted, if she killed you, it might affect her moral integrity. So I'll spare your life for now, do you know what you should do?"

  "I, I know, I know what to do now. I, I will leave, far away from Luo Yu, and never appear again..." Li Yan's words were incoherent, her lips trembling.

  At this time, Li Yanran finally recognized herself and her position. She was just a chess piece, played in the palms of Huang Luo Yi and Song Ning Chu Yang. Her strength was weak and small like an ant, and others would crush her with a casual pinch.

  As for Luo Yu, regardless of whether she and Song Ning are innocent or not, Li Yanran no longer feels jealous because their innate talents are vastly different, their cultivation is vastly different, and their backgrounds are like heaven and earth. Even the people they come into contact with are as different as high mountains and dust. She and Luo Yu are fundamentally people from two different worlds. What qualifications does she have to be jealous of someone like that? Someone like that, she should look up to!

  Although Luo Yu didn't say it explicitly, after many years of being together, she still discovered that Luo Yu's qualifications had improved. She didn't tell Huang Luo Yi about this, possibly because a last bit of conscience remained in her, and she ultimately hadn't gone too far off the rails...

  "It seems you're not that stupid after all?" Chu Yang saw Li Yanran's sudden realization, and coldly snorted: "Mind your own business!"

  The sound of 'zhi' had not yet faded, when Chu Yang disappeared into the night...
