Previously, when chatting on the way, every time Yuyan mentioned Yino, it was with disdain. Her cold eyes couldn’t hide some disgust and grumbling, making Yanran think she hated Yino.
But unexpectedly, after Yuyan just now expressing disdain, less than a few hours later, she immediately changed her expression to extreme worry.
The speed of her changing face rivaled Jinyue’s.
“It’s not me imagining things, he really is so messed up! You don’t know how lecherous and reckless he is!”
As anxiety deep within her became more apparent, Yuyan’s speech became hurried.
She lightly pinched her jade pendant against her chest, trying to explain to Yanran, but as she spoke, thinking about all the recent mishaps between her and Yino, it seemed like there wasn’t a single thing she could bring up in front of Yanran.
Either sneaking into the bathroom at night, playing forbidden chess, performing dances under the moon, or stealing glances at black stockings and…
How could Yuyan explain this?
Just thinking about it made her cold face slightly redden.
“Wait, I think I smell blood in the air!”
At some point, Yuyan suddenly stopped walking, her cold eyes flashing with unprecedented seriousness.
Yanran was also stunned on the spot.
She remained silent for a long time, then had her lips twitch slightly, awkwardly saying, “Did you?”
“Something’s wrong, I have to go see.”
This time, Yuyan was no longer in a relaxed state.
She didn’t wait for Yanran to respond, directly raising her hand to summon her sword, instantly transforming into a silver beam of light flying towards the distant Ranmo Peak.
For a moment, Yanran was stunned on the spot, also secretly clenching her hand.
“During this long time, Jinyue should have succeeded by now…”
…
…
…
At the hot spring stronghold, the unilateral massacre of Wuji Sect disciples was still ongoing.
Although Yino intervened midway and intimidated many Full Moon followers, after Yino disappeared into the deep pines, the remaining Full Moon members continued with their original plan with a “seize the pleasure in time” mentality.
Now, the battle was divided into two parts.
Chen Jianxin, with the highest talent, was trapped in a siege, while Wuji Sect disciples led by Yunjin all gathered together, forming a group formation to resist the Full Moon’s siege.
With such a situation, it was clear who was easier to bully!
Facing the glances of many Wuji Sect disciples, the small-bodied Full Moon member attacked from behind, suddenly delivering a hook punch to Chen Jianxin’s side abdomen—
Puh!!!
Chen Jianxin groaned, kneeling on the ground, spitting out black blood.
Meanwhile, many cultists rushed forward, grabbing Chen Jianxin’s collar and lifting him up with one hand:
“Hey, did you see that! This is what happens when you like to show off!”
“Kid, aren’t you getting a bit full of yourself just because you have some sword talent?”
“Weren’t you pretty tough just now? One-on-one against us three? And now you’re kneeling on the ground in an instant?”
The small-bodied cultist spoke while also delivering a heavy kick to Chen Jianxin’s leg.
Mockingly, he grabbed Chen Jianxin’s hair, making him look up towards the white-haired girl standing not far away in front of many Wuji Sect disciples.
At the same time, the evil smile in the cultist’s eyes under his mask made his eyes look even narrower:
“I see you like that white-haired girl a lot, but she never came to save you from the beginning, looking worried all the time, assisting another guy in battle!”
“Oh right, you might not know?”
“When you were being surrounded and beaten, that white-haired kid didn’t even look at you, only worriedly assisting another guy in battle!”
As he spoke, many cultists smirked.
They wanted to watch Chen Jianxin’s distorted and desperate expression, but the latter’s consciousness seemed already shaken to the brink. His gaze became dim and numb.
“How boring…”
Seeing there was no good show to watch, the small-bodied cultist shrugged his shoulders and released Chen Jianxin’s face casually.
But at that moment, the surviving group of Wuji Sect disciples suddenly shouted loudly: Keep the adventure going with freewebnovel
“Young Master He Yino! Everyone look! It’s Young Master’s!”
“No, Young Master came back with Senior Sister Jinyue!”
“That’s great! If it’s Young Master who intervened, we’ll definitely be saved!”
As a black-robed young man carrying a worn sword over his shoulder walked out from the forest, many Wuji Sect disciples immediately felt like they had seen a savior, cheering and rejoicing.
Not only that, even the cultists who were originally mocking and ridiculing began to step back, actively keeping their distance from the young man with blood-stained left arms.
For a moment, all eyes focused on the young swordsman.
“His surname, He…?”
Chen Jianxin was jolted by the cheering, dragging his weary eyelids to look.
In his blurry vision, Yino was receiving disciples’ praise. Even Yunjin, who was originally worried about him, now couldn’t care less about Chen Jianxin’s situation, looking at Yino with eyes full of joy and a bit of redness.
For a moment, Chen Jianxin felt something in his heart shattered.
-Is this the feeling of betrayal!?-
Chen Jianxin felt a raw, naked sense of betrayal.
From start to finish, he’d been desperately protecting everyone, taking on all the cultists’ targeting. Even when Yino didn’t know where to mess around before, it was Chen Jianxin who always seriously protected Yunjin, senior sister…
Chen Jianxin had worked diligently, sacrificing so much for everyone, only to have a Yino who apparently popped up out of nowhere reap the benefits.
Now, it was Chen Jianxin being captured, becoming the hindrance!
-I am Wuji Sect’s best sword talent. When did I become someone who has to beg that useless Young Master to save me…?-
-Damn it, you bunch of ungrateful…-
-I can’t accept it, I can’t accept it…-
In the haze, Chen Jianxin couldn’t hear the noisy cheers anymore.
His gaze dimmed, as if retreating into boundless darkness, seeing nothing. Only the grudge of being humiliated, despised, and exterminated worsened, anger swelling in his chest.
Boom!!!
Black flames erupted behind the young man.
“I have an innate sword holy body, I am the genius favored by destiny!”
“These demons and evildoers ruining the mortal world don’t need anything from He Yino. Rely on me, Chen Jianxin, I can kill them all by myself—!!!”
