Just as Ye Mu had expected…
On the other side.
Su Qianqian stepped out of her room and looked at Lin Yan, who was sitting on a chair.
“Brother Lin… I… I’ve got something to do, I’m heading out for a bit! I’ll be back soon!”
As soon as she spoke, Lin Yan pressed his lips together and clenched his fists.
“Junior Sister, tomorrow—”
Before he could finish, Su Qianqian interrupted him, “S-Sorry, I’m not free tomorrow. If we’re going to the back mountain… you’ll have to wait a few more days!”
With that, Su Qianqian hurriedly left the cave residence!
Watching her departing figure, Lin Yan’s fists clenched tightly again!
It’s happening again…
Again!!
Why… why is it always like this!!
For the past week, every invitation he had made to Su Qianqian had been rejected! And every morning, she would leave saying she’d be right back! Yet every single time—she didn’t return until early dawn!!
Whenever Lin Yan asked why she was back so late…
Su Qianqian would vaguely say something happened on the way!!
Lin Yan had already begun to suspect her, and everything that happened this week only deepened his doubts!!
Junior Sister… she’s hiding something from him!!
So!!
“Junior Sister!! I’m sorry!!”
Lin Yan suddenly stood up and quickly left the cave as well!
Where exactly did Su Qianqian go every day?
Why did she only return at dawn?
And why… every time she came back, her cheeks would be flushed, and her legs trembling!?
Today… he was going to get to the bottom of it!!
Lin Yan followed Su Qianqian closely… Along the way, Su Qianqian even looked around cautiously from time to time. Lin Yan had to work hard not to get discovered…
“So alert! Junior Sister, what exactly are you up to!”
Lin Yan thought to himself as he continued tailing her.
As time passed… a grand, majestic structure came into view. It was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
“That’s… the Holy Son Hall!?”
Looking at the massive building, Lin Yan froze slightly!
Before he could react… he saw Su Qianqian purse her red lips and slowly walk into the Holy Son Hall!!
In that instant…
Lin Yan’s mind went completely blank!!
“This! This can’t be!! Junior Sister leaves early every morning—how… how could she be going to meet Ye Mu!!”
His voice trembled, filled with disbelief! Get faster updates on g.com.
Honestly!! He had considered countless possibilities over the past week!! But never—never in his wildest imagination!!
Did he expect that his Junior Sister!! Would go straight to Ye Mu’s place in the morning!!
At that moment, Gu Xiyu suddenly appeared beside Lin Yan and sighed, “I told you something was off! Why would Ye Mu hand over the Archaic Bell to you for no reason? It must be your Junior Sister… and Ye Mu, they must have—”
Before she could finish, Lin Yan cut her off angrily!!
“Enough!! Junior Sister must’ve gone to ask him for sacred medicine on my behalf!! That’s it!! That has to be it!!”
Lin Yan tried to convince himself as he marched straight toward the Holy Son Hall!!
“I’m going in now!! I’ll see for myself what Ye Mu and Junior Sister are doing!!”
Seeing this, Gu Xiyu quickly tried to stop him, “Yan’er! Don’t be reckless!!”
But… Lin Yan’s eyes were bloodshot, and he had completely lost his composure, “Don’t worry, Master! I have body movement techniques! Ye Mu won’t detect me!”
With that, he ignored Gu Xiyu’s obstruction and vanished from sight!
But what he didn’t know…
Was that at the very moment he disappeared—
Inside the Holy Son Hall, Ye Mu opened his eyes and a faint smile curled at his lips.
“Lin Yan… after all this time, you’ve finally realized something’s wrong?”
There was a defensive array around the Holy Son Hall…
Which meant that the moment Lin Yan arrived, Ye Mu had already sensed it…
But he didn’t stop him. Instead, he let him sneak in—because Ye Mu felt that the time was just right for Lin Yan to learn the truth!
And then… it would be time to harvest the luck of the Child of Fate!!
Ye Mu turned and looked toward a certain corner of the hall…
Hiding there, Lin Yan trembled inwardly, “Did he… notice me!?”
Luckily, Ye Mu soon turned his gaze away and looked toward Su Qianqian instead.
Lin Yan let out a sigh of relief and also turned his gaze toward Su Qianqian in the distance!
“Junior Sister Su!”
His fists tightened… In that moment, he couldn’t even figure out what exactly Ye Mu and Su Qianqian’s relationship was…
At that moment, Ye Mu suddenly said indifferently, “What are you standing there for? Speak!”
Hearing that, Su Qianqian gave a self-deprecating smile and replied in a trembling voice.
“This servant… greets the Holy Son!”
As soon as the words fell—
It was like a thunderclap in Lin Yan’s mind! He stood frozen, his eyes gradually widening!
“I… I didn’t mishear, did I… Junior Sister… called herself a servant in front of Ye Mu!?”
His voice trembled with disbelief!!
In his heart! Su Qianqian was gentle and kind, pure and innocent, beautiful and flawless, like a beam of moonlight. After ten years together, Lin Yan had only just begun to reveal his affection!
But now! He saw his moonlight! Calling herself a servant before another man!! His mind nearly snapped.
[Ding! Host successfully caused the Child of Fate—Lin Yan’s mental collapse. Gained luck point.]
Just from breaking his mindset alone, he gained so many luck points.
If…
Ye Mu’s lips curled as he stood up and walked step by step to Su Qianqian’s side!
He buried his face into her long silky hair and deeply inhaled her scent… then said, “Qianqian, you smell… so good…”
[Ding! Host successfully caused Lin Yan’s mental collapse! Gained luck point.]
“Arghhh!! I’ll kill him!!”
Seeing this!! Lin Yan exploded with fury! His gaze toward Ye Mu was bloodshot and full of murderous intent!!
In Lin Yan’s mind! Su Qianqian was his moonlight, his forbidden treasure! He would never allow!! Any man besides him to touch her!!
Yet now! Ye Mu had buried his face into her body! And even he, Lin Yan, had never been that intimate with her!!
How could Lin Yan not be furious!!
“Yan’er! Calm down!!”
Gu Xiyu quickly tried to console him!!
Lin Yan clenched his teeth and fists tightly! He knew… he had to stay calm now, so he took a deep breath and barely held back his rage… until—
Ye Mu spoke again!
“I’m burning up because of you. Tell me… what should we do about it?”
The fury Lin Yan had just calmed reignited instantly! He raised his head and stared at Ye Mu, as if he could skin him alive!!
This man!! He actually dared to speak such vulgar words to Junior Sister!!
Unforgivable!! Absolutely unforgivable!!
Wait!! Junior Sister surely wouldn’t agree to that, right!? Surely not… right!?
Lin Yan lifted his head again, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Su Qianqian!!
But… what shocked him was—facing such indecent words, Su Qianqian didn’t get angry. Instead, she lowered her eyes and trembled as she spoke.
“Then… let this servant serve the Holy Son…”
As those words fell—
Lin Yan’s expression went blank! His entire body felt drained! And he collapsed to the ground.
“No… impossible! This can’t be… Junior Sister… how could she agree to do that with Ye Mu!! This… can’t be!!!”
His voice was filled with disbelief… and the way he looked at Su Qianqian was full of unfamiliarity… At that moment, he could only feel the glaring green tint forming above his head!
Just then, Su Qianqian raised her jade-like hand and began removing her clothes… a hint of her fair skin revealed itself!
That was the final straw for Lin Yan!!
The anger he had suppressed for so long exploded!! He ignored Gu Xiyu’s attempts to stop him and suddenly roared as he sprang up!!
“Arghhh!! This is outrageous!!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Su Qianqian’s pupils shrank! She turned her head, and the moment she saw Lin Yan—
Her mind went completely blank…
