The little maid gathered her things fearfully and covered her face as she retreated, leaving Cheng Mingyue sitting alone in the small building, dazed.
Actually, she had seen it clearly just now; wanting to confirm again was just out of unwillingness.
With that womanâs appearance and demeanor, anyone who sees her once would never forget.
Cheng Mingyue saw clearly. The woman, sitting happily in Senior Brotherâs arms, was the Demon Sect Leader she had met before.
How could that woman be in Liangzhou City?
But none of that matters now.
The key isâshe and Senior Brother?
Cheng Mingyue couldnât understand why Senior Brother would rather like a Demon Sect Enchantress than her, someone who grew up with him and was a suitable match?
Is it really just because of her captivating face?
Thinking about the face of the Demon Sect Leader, even though Cheng Mingyue was unwilling, she had to admit, she indeed couldnât compare.
Senior Brother must have lost his memory and been bewitched by that woman! Cheng Mingyue comforted herself this way.
She couldnât let Senior Brother continue to be deceived by that woman.
Cheng Mingyue sat by the window of the small building, staring persistently in that direction, as if she could still see the intimate figures of the man and woman in the courtyard.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Mingyueâs mouth: "Demon Sect Leader, if we were at Witch Capital Mountain, I couldnât do anything to you. But you decided to court death by coming alone to the Central Plains Martial World, to Liangzhou City. Donât blame me for being discourteous!"
She got up, hurriedly draped a cloak over herself, and went out.
Meanwhile, in the small courtyard, Gu Shengyin felt something was amiss.
"Whatâs wrong?" Zhu Yue perceptively noticed her mood.
Gu Shengyin frowned: "I always feel like someone was watching us just now."
Zhu Yue laughed upon hearing this: "Donât overthink. With the strength we both possess, no one in this world could secretly monitor us without being noticed, right?"
Gu Shengyin thought it over and agreed, no longer dwelling on it.
Zhu Yue stayed until lunchtime before leavingâunlike before, he was always accompanied by others.
Being able to spend a morning here without being discovered was already the maximum he could do right now.
After Zhu Yue left, Gu Shengyin spoke to the system: "What happened just now?"
Her intuition was definitely not a mere illusion; for a martial artist at her level of proficiency, such a strong sense of illusion was impossible.
Sure enough, the system gave her the answer.
"So itâs her?" Knowing who it was, Gu Shengyin felt relieved.
"Let me guess, given Fairy Ming Yueâs righteous image, knowing that I, the Demon Sect Leader, am in their Central Plains Martial World stronghold, she must be preparing to Eliminate Demons and Defend the Path."
Gu Shengyin rested her chin in quiet contemplation: "System, do you think sheâll hire assassins to silently deal with me, or will she expose my whereabouts, letting the entire Central Plains Martial World confront me?"
The system flashed with white light, surprisingly answering very seriously: "Host, based on the systemâs calculation and Cheng Mingyueâs character profile, the likelihood of her decisively ending your life is higher."
Gu Shengyin laughed brightly: "How coincidental, I think so too."
She spoke with ease, as if being targeted by someone was not a concerning matter at all.
