On the rooftop, there sat a man they had never seen before, holding a cup of hot tea with a calm expression, and carefully blew on it.
Yu Ying, who had screamed, was now leaning against a screen, with a shattered teacup on the ground beneath her feet, and even her always-handheld pipa had fallen to the ground.
Her expression looked somewhat terrified and vacant, yet the fists hidden in her sleeves were tightly clenched, her nails digging into her flesh causing blood to seep out, and her whole body was trembling slightly, it took a good while before her eyes slowly began to clear up.
But following that, came an extremely uncomfortable feeling of emptiness, with her realm, she knew all too well, this was a sign of soul damage.
For a moment, they didn’t know what had happened, all eyes turned to Jiang Feng, some looking like they wanted to take action, but the young man spoke up quickly.
"It’s all because you didn’t manage the cleanliness well. Just now when Miss Yu Ying and I were drinking tea, a rat suddenly popped out and startled her, it’s your negligence."
They looked at each other.
Not to mention how a mouse could bypass so many cultivators in this entire pavilion, or why it would climb all the way to the top floor, just take the character of the Pavilion Master.
Finally, the beautiful woman spoke.
With a slightly trembling hand, she endured her weakness, and while bending down to pick up her pipa, her eyes even darkened, but she still picked up her beloved pipa and held it in her arms, trying to maintain a composed appearance.
Yet her somewhat hoarse voice betrayed her.
"This, Pavilion Master, this..."
Everyone hurriedly fled the scene without hesitation, fearing they would really die at the hands of the Pavilion Master, but they were equally shocked in their hearts; it was the first time they had seen Yu Ying lose her composure .
She tried to maintain as calm as possible, then looked at the young man before her again, only this time, her eyes were exceptionally bright, devoid of any superfluous color.
Holding her pipa, she took her seat again, only this time sitting opposite Jiang Feng.
"Brother... quite the maneuver."
"Too kind, too kind."
Showing eight white teeth.
He hadn’t expected that this woman’s act of peering into others’ hearts would anger the Demon Night True Monarch sleeping within him, not knowing whether you remember, the souls previously gathered inside him, were all devoured by this great serpent.
According to his Elder Sister, it devoured souls to continuously nourish its own fragmented soul, this bite...
Probably made that snake quite satisfied.
"It’s just Yu Ying underestimating Brother Jiang too much, and Yu Ying being foolish, how could a disciple chosen by Master Liu be ordinary."
Her tone seemed a bit self-deprecating, the face full of feminine charm now worn out with fatigue.
"Tomorrow, Yu Ying will have someone accompany Brother to understand the entirety of the Purple Cloud Pavilion, and will also explain some basics of the Purple Cloud Palace, today Yu Ying is somewhat tired."
Actually, with her competitive nature, she wanted to go at it again, but recalling the eerie creature she saw, she couldn’t muster any thoughts of resistance in her heart.
"Mm, then Sister Yu Ying... Rest well. I’ll come again tomorrow."
This is taking advantage of the situation.
He stood up leisurely and joyously, patted off the dust, and then strode towards the stairs.
As he was about to descend the stairs, the young man suddenly looked back.
"By the way, Sister, let me leave you with one more phrase." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovєlFіre.net
She didn’t turn around; it was not that she didn’t respect him, on the contrary, her personality was such that she was completely subdued by strength, and in the Cultivation World where strength was revered, she found nothing inappropriate in Jiang Feng’s address as "Sister".
The young man cleared his throat.
"When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
Words finished, he walked down the stairs gracefully.
Leaving the beautiful woman sitting alone, shocked and unable to calm down for a long time...
