Chapter 413

"As the saying goes, those who understand the times are the true heroes."

"Ji Lingqing felt that he was the hero."

"To give his friend some much-needed space, he decisively thought of a perfect excuse to leave."

"Ye Xianyou, I’m your strongest wingman!"

"After sending Ye Yu a knowing glance, as if to say 'I’m leaving now,'"

"Ji Lingqing immediately prepared to leave."

"But his sleeve was suddenly grabbed tightly by someone."

"He turned around and found it was Ye Yu."

"Ji Lingqing was immediately baffled."

"Xianyou, what does this mean? Are you asking me to set up a concealment barrier for you two before I leave?"

"Hmm, that makes sense."

"Looking across all of Tiandi Pavilion, who doesn’t know that Sect Master Shen Biyan likes Elder Zhong Qin?"

"Brother, you’re mighty, but there’s no need to go head-to-head with Sect Master Shen Biyan!"

"Just hiding a little bit would be better."

"With that thought in mind, Ji Lingqing decisively took out a very expensive array jade stone and crushed it."

"A barrier appeared around them, covering a radius of twenty meters."

"This move stunned both Ye Yu and Zhong Qin."

"Why set up a barrier so suddenly without saying anything?"

"No, wait, we didn’t even communicate."

"You just threw up a barrier—what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Before Ye Yu and Zhong Qin could ask,"

"Ji Lingqing said seriously, 'Elder Zhong, you and Ye Xianyou can talk freely here.'"

"I’ll go outside to blow off some air and make sure no one disturbs you two."

"Upon hearing this,"

"Ye Yu took a half-step back, tactically retreating."

"Are you seriously misunderstanding something?"

"At this moment, Zhong Qin also reacted, unable to help but chuckle."

"That enchanting laugh made Ye Yu feel especially uncomfortable."

"He immediately wanted to step forward to explain to Ji Lingqing,"

"but saw Ji Lingqing seriously pound his chest and say, 'We’re brothers. Some things don’t need to be said out loud.'"

"I’ll go now!"

"You go to hell!"

"Ye Yu directly pulled Ji Lingqing back, who had already started to leave."

"Clenching his teeth, he continued, 'Can you stop overthinking? Elder Zhong and I... there’s nothing going on. Got it?'"

"Ji Lingqing froze for a moment, then couldn’t help but sigh."

"He °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, showing an expression of disappointment."

"With a heartbroken tone, he murmured, 'You still don’t trust me, right?'"

"‘Am I not a brother to you?’"

"But don’t worry, even if you think like that, I still consider you a brother."

"I’ll never tell anyone about you and Elder Zhong."

"Ye Yu’s breath grew heavier."

"To be honest, he was about to kill someone right now."

"But he still held back."

"However, the anger was still roaring inside him."

"Ah Qing! I’ll tell you now, there’s absolutely nothing between me and Elder Zhong!"

"This is only the third time I’ve met her. We didn’t do anything!"

"Stop thinking crazy thoughts, alright?"

"Ye Yu’s sudden outburst left Ji Lingqing stunned."

"His excited manner seemed genuine."

"Ji Lingqing muttered softly, 'Could it be... I was wrong?'"

"Ye Yu decisively answered, 'Of course you were wrong. Don’t believe me? Ask Elder Zhong!'"

"Upon hearing this, Ji Lingqing instinctively looked at Zhong Qin."

"However, the latter immediately dropped a bombshell."

"Actually, I think we don’t need to be so nervous. This kind of relationship can’t be hidden forever. Why not just tell the truth?"

"This statement made Ye Yu gasp in disbelief."

"He looked at Zhong Qin with wide eyes,"

"Only to find that her beautiful eyes were filled with playful intent."

"Fine, fine, this is how you want to play it?"

"I can’t fight, but I can avoid you!"

"Ye Yu turned his head and broke through the barrier, walking away with determination!"

"At this point, he had completely given up on explaining."

"What’s there to say?"

"Anyway, Zhong Qin was clearly determined to stir the waters."

"Plus, with Ji Lingqing misunderstanding,"

"In such a situation, Ye Yu really couldn’t explain himself. Even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t help."

"Since that’s the case, what’s there left to explain?"

"Is it wrong for me to leave now?"

"Watching Ye Yu leave angrily,"

"Zhong Qin’s smile grew even more intense."

"Originally, she just came over to check on the situation outside Suxin Sect."

"To see if Ye Yu had discovered anything unusual."

"If he did, it would be best kept to himself."

"But unexpectedly, after coming here, she was misunderstood by someone."

"Seeing how far things had gone,"

"Zhong Qin naturally got more playful."

"She had to admit, this was fun."

"It had been a long time since she had laughed so happily."

"On the side, Ji Lingqing grumbled, 'Running so fast, how annoying. I had a feeling when he mentioned the love letter, something was off.'"

"I didn’t expect, after all this, he still wanted to hide it from me."

"In Ji Lingqing’s mind."

"He subconsciously thought that when Ye Yu separated from him a few hours ago to 'find the love letter,' it was just an excuse."

"He must have been secretly meeting with Zhong Qin."

"If that wasn’t the case, how could Ye Yu be so anxious?"

"A love letter can be written anytime, but keeping a fairy waiting is a serious matter."

"As soon as Zhong Qin heard the words 'love letter,'"

"She instantly became alert and quickly asked, 'You know he wrote a love letter?'"

"Ji Lingqing shook his head and said, 'I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, but he mentioned that he’s fallen for a fairy and has already written the love letter.'"

"'I guess the person he’s interested in must be you.'"

"Zhong Qin didn’t speak."

"Wasn’t it obvious?"

"Looking at it, it wasn’t a misunderstanding. It was just Ye Yu’s little tactic."

"Can’t say much, but it’s quite interesting."

"So Ye Yu, what was your sudden departure all about?"

"Was it because you’re shy?"

"Thinking about this,"

"Zhong Qin’s smile curved even more."

"At that moment,"

"The surrounding barrier was suddenly shattered."

"A figure slowly appeared."

"It was none other than Tiandi Pavilion’s Sect Master Shen Biyan."

"Seeing his appearance, Ji Lingqing’s face turned pale with fear."

"Not knowing how to respond."

"His original intention in setting up the barrier was to give Ye Yu and Zhong Qin a quiet space to be alone, without being discovered by Sect Master Shen Biyan."

"But now it was clear."

"Sect Master Shen Biyan’s strength far exceeded his imagination, and the barrier was useless in front of him."

"How should he explain this?"

"Ji Lingqing immediately started brainstorming."

"But unexpectedly, Sect Master Shen Biyan spoke first."

"Ji family’s kid, you should go back and see your ancestor more often. He misses you a lot."

"And with so many variables ahead, I’m not sure if this place is safe."

"You might want to consider returning to the Ji family."

"Of course, I’m not rushing you. Whether you stay or leave, that’s up to you."
