Capítulo 1398: Chapter 1398: Demon Sect Leader vs. Righteous Maiden (36)

Gu Shengyin casually closed the courtyard door, removed the disguise from her face, and sat beside him.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

Zhu Yue looked at Gu Shengyin, feeling his throat somewhat dry: “Do you know about the Cheng family affair?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengyin became serious.

She looked at Zhu Yue, pondering his purpose in coming here—was it to question her? Or was there another meaning?

She thought for a moment and naturally was reluctant to apply negative assumptions to her partner.

She simply nodded: “I know, and, last night, the assassin that went to the Cheng family was sent by me.”

After speaking, she looked at Zhu Yue, wanting to see his immediate reaction at such a moment.

Upon hearing Gu Shengyin’s words, the first thing Zhu Yue said was: “Did my Junior Sister do something?”

Gu Shengyin finally laughed.

Upon hearing her send an assassin to kill someone, the first reaction wasn’t to doubt her, but to question someone else instead.

With such a man, what was she still hesitating about?

She said: “Yesterday during the day, a group of assassins came to my little courtyard. I left three dead and one alive.”

Seeing Zhu Yue’s worried expression, Gu Shengyin reassured him: “I’m fine.”

She then said: “For the one left, I told him to use his own life to exchange for the life of the person who wanted my life.”

With an apparently innocent shrug, she added: “I didn’t know that person would be your Junior Sister, Fairy Ming Yue.”

The final words “Fairy Ming Yue” dripped with sarcasm.

Bright moon, shining brightly in the sky, pure and unstained.

How could she be deserving of such a name?

Zhu Yue’s stern expression finally relaxed, and he reached out to feel Gu Shengyin’s pulse.

Around the world, only this man could hold the wrist of the Demon Sect Leader without resistance.

After personally checking and finding her fine, Zhu Yue truly relaxed.

Upon first hearing about the Cheng family affair, for some reason, Zhu Yue immediately thought of Gu Shengyin.

He didn’t know why he was so sure that this matter was related to Gu Shengyin.

But he didn’t suspect her; he was pondering where his Junior Sister had offended her instead.

From what he knew of Gu Shengyin, she was not someone who would harm others for no reason.

That was why he came here to ask like this.

Gu Shengyin looked at him and suddenly spoke: “Zhu Yue, out of respect for you, I’ll overlook her actions this time. But if there’s a next time…”

Her gaze revealed a flash of killing intent.

Then she felt her hand held by a pair of warm hands.

“Don’t do it for my sake, Ye Li.” Zhu Yue looked at her seriously, “No one is more important than you.”

“Junior Sister Cheng’s behavior shouldn’t be forgiven.”

“You shouldn’t forgive, and neither can I.”

He couldn’t forgive any action intending harm to the person in front of him.

Something seemed to flicker in Gu Shengyin’s eyes.

She smiled slightly: “You say that, so I must take it seriously. Don’t restore your memory later and recall some childhood bond, unwilling to part.”

Zhu Yue shook his head with a smile: “No, if there’s anything in this world more important than you to me, I definitely wouldn’t forget it.”

The situation you mentioned won’t happen.
