"Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Xiao Yinruo’s voice reached the ears of Pei Wanyu and Lu Jin’an, this pair of master and apprentice: "Or is it that something I said struck a nerve with you?"
Pei Wanyu’s gaze was playful as she looked at Xiao Yinruo. Previously, in Jing’an City, when she secretly observed Yinruo hug Jin’an and say a lot, she felt that this old spinster from Qingmiao Palace had an odd way of thinking, and now... she’s even more certain.
There is a vivid ’world’ hidden in Yinruo’s mind.
Yes, very imaginative.
It’s often said that the Forget Love Path cultivates the state of mind, which is most easily rid of distractions... however, it’s quite normal for cultivators to have distractions, it’s just that Yinruo’s distractions are like a mountain of wild grass—numerous and chaotic.
From the perspective of the Forget Love Path, it is quite abnormal.
It’s somewhat similar to that girl Nanzhi’s Yin-Yang Dao wrapped in Forget Love Path’s guise. Should I say... indeed, like master, like apprentice?
Pei Wanyu felt a bit like laughing, yet she was also clear about her position in front of Yinruo: not pleased to see a friend flirting with her apprentice.
And tonight’s issues, if handled well, would benefit her with no harm.
Many thoughts flashed through her mind, and Pei Wanyu sneered: "I don’t know why you have so many strange ideas, but what you did tonight makes me very angry."
She lifted her hand gently to smooth her slightly moist hair: "With our years of friendship, yet for some reason, you’ve directly ignored these..."
Pei Wanyu sneered: "Because I’m a demon, and you’re human, so you have always had a prejudice in your heart, right?"
Lu Jin’an glanced at Xiao Yinruo and quietly moved closer to his master. Naturally, he chose to trust his master, after all, he wasn’t really familiar with Palace Master Xiao.
But after moving only a short distance, he bumped into an invisible spiritual barrier, obviously crafted by Xiao Yinruo.
"Before we get to the truth, you aren’t allowed to go anywhere." Xiao Yinruo glared at Lu Jin’an, then turned to Pei Wanyu, expressionless: "Regardless of whether what you say is true, because it involves Jin’an, I, as the Palace Master of Qingmiao Palace, must take it seriously.
And if you just wanted to say these things, there’s no need; why not just prove your innocence, and if I’ve misunderstood, what’s the harm in me apologizing?"
With that, Xiao Yinruo raised her hand and seized Lu Jin’an’s shoulder: "I have no ulterior motives, Jin’an is not just your Jin’an!"
As she finished speaking, spiritual power surged around Xiao Yinruo, Forget Love Taoist Skill weaving into mysterious runes, likened to the convergence of a long river, accentuating more of her ethereal intent: "Let’s focus on the facts!"
Pei Wanyu raised an eyebrow watching Xiao Yinruo, secretly wondering whether Yinruo’s words came from a genuine Human Clan stance to protect Jin’an, or mixed with personal thoughts...
Thinking is one thing, yet her voice showed little fluctuation: "Are you suggesting I make a Heavenly Dao Oath too?"
"Other methods," Xiao Yinruo said lightly: "You are proficient in the Time Path, a Heavenly Dao Oath may not be effective against you."
"Palace Master Xiao, I’ve already sworn an oath, why don’t you believe me?" Lu Jin’an interjected: "I definitely won’t make a joke about my own future, right?"
Xiao Yinruo’s expression remained unchanged: "Because she is skilled in the Time Path... just like in the Upper Realm where they can bypass the Heavenly Dao to maliciously possess talents from the Lower Realm, she might very well have the ability to interfere with your Divine Soul...
I am very aware of her strength."
Lu Jin’an sighed softly in his heart, listening on and off, realizing his strength is still inadequate, although against an Immortal, he has a voice, it’s not a weighty one.
If he were also an Immortal, perhaps some actions could quiet things down.
But at this moment, he couldn’t say anything harsh. Firstly, it was a misunderstanding, and he didn’t want this misunderstanding to affect the relationship between his master and Palace Master Xiao, because after all, a split would also affect his relationship with Nanzhi.
Secondly, from the beginning up to now, the confrontational exchange between Palace Master Xiao and his master was all centered around him, all implying a protective intention...
Why does it feel a bit like a chaotic scene?
Lu Jin’an shook his head, Palace Master Xiao was merely considering from the Human Clan’s standpoint, not that she liked him, where’s the chaotic scene? This content belongs to novel fire.net
He looked at his master, Pei Wanyu was currently watching Xiao Yinruo with an expressionless look, eyes gleaming fiercely, though devoid of demon energy, but the oppressive aura of the Demon Emperor was tangibly palpable.
Such pressure could only come from powerful demon beasts or body cultivators solely with their physique.
"Innocence?" Pei Wanyu pressed her step: "I still need to prove my innocence to you, an outsider, between me and my man?"
"If you put it that way, I’m still considered his mother-in-law!" Even as Xiao Yinruo maintained a certain distance from Pei Wanyu, she spoke without any concession: "Because of this alone, you should address me as ’mother’, yet if you don’t prove, I won’t acknowledge you."
"Is that so?" Pei Wanyu sneered: "You..."
"Master," Lu Jin’an looked at Pei Wanyu: "Just take action directly, sometimes a fight can clear things up."
Xiao Yinruo shot him a sidelong glance: "You side with her?"
"What else?" Lu Jin’an glanced back at her: "Even if you are Nanzhi’s master, I’m not familiar with you at all.
Besides, you were the one questioning my master all this while, you haven’t even said why you suspect my master treats me like a dog in the first place."
Seeing Xiao Yinruo say nothing, Lu Jin’an continued, "Even in the mortal world court, the plaintiff accuses the defendant as the murderer, they must provide evidence, right? Even if it’s fabricated evidence, you still have to come up with something, would you lack the skill to even concoct a story?"
Xiao Yinruo pursed her red lips, her gaze slightly complex, this kid didn’t even speak a word in her favor...
Her eyes slightly lowered, and Lu Jin’an seized the opportunity to continue: "No fighting, no talking, why not return to Jiuhua City first, let’s all calm down and talk later."
