2248 You Shouldn’t Choose Him

Jin Yunlai turned around to take a look. “You know each other?”

Jun Jiuqing’s smile deepened. “Of course, we know each other.”

Chu Liuyue’s glance bounced between the two of them. It can be seen that the relations.h.i.+p between Jun Jiuqing and Jin Yunlai seems to be very subtle.

“Did you hear what I said to Nan Jinshu just now?” Jin Yunlai gave a simple explanation. “After settling down, you can come to the Fantasy Divine Hall yourself.”

Jun Jiuqing responded, “Thank you, Seventh Deity.”

Only then did Jin Yunlai nod and turn to leave.

When he pa.s.sed by Chu Liuyue, he stopped in his tracks as if he wanted to say something. “You—”

She looked up at him.

Jin Yunlai looked at her clear and bright eyes, but he suddenly swallowed the rest of his words. What did I want to ask? What can I ask? Did the emperor punish Shu Jing because of her? However, she has only been in Fantasy Divine Palace for less than a month. She has probably never even heard of the emperor’s name. How could she know him?

Jin Yunlai lowered his eyes, and his gaze swept past the token on Chu Liuyue’s waist.

The handwriting on it was still as clear as on the first day he had given it to her. It was as if it hadn’t been touched at all during the time it was here.

Jin Yunlai was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this should be expected.

Chu Liuyue first traveled the Star Path, then went to the depths of the lightning pool, and was even chosen by Zhen Bao Pavilion to replicate the Xuan formations… All of these matters were extremely outstanding.

Not to mention that she had just broken through from a Senior Physician to become a Supreme Physician and successfully refined the Settling Yuan Pill in one go.

It was normal for her to be able to maintain the existence of the handwriting on this token. Apart from the fact that she didn’t have a bloodline totem, her performance in other aspects was really impeccable.

Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long time, Chu Liuyue called out, “Seventh Deity?”

What was he going to say? He stared at me for a long time without saying anything.

Jin Yunlai came back to his senses and looked at her steadily. “It’s fine.”

Then, he turned around to leave.

Chu Liuyue watched him leave and blinked. This Seventh Deity’s att.i.tude toward me… seems to be better than before?

Although this change was subtle, she had always been sharp.

Jin Yunlai had looked at her for so long just now. His eyes held complicated emotions, but he was no longer as contemptuous and disdainful as when he first found out that she didn’t have a bloodline totem.

Could it be because of these recent events?

Just as this thought surfaced, Chu Liuyue rejected it. If it were someone else from Fantasy Divine Palace, they might indeed change their opinion of her because of my recent performance. But among these people, Jin Yunlai, the Seventh Deity, is definitely not included. With his status, what kind of geniuses and experts has he not seen?

In fact, he was one in a million. There were very few people in the past 10,000 years who could complete the Star Path in one go, and he was the one who took the shortest time.

Just this point alone was enough for him to look down on everyone. Would he take a fancy to her ‘child’s play?’

“You want to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall?” A heretical and lazy voice sounded from behind.

Chu Liuyue turned around and saw that Jun Jiuqing had already arrived behind her.

Her red lips curled up into a smile. “Who doesn’t want to go there? However, ordinary people aren’t like the family head. You’ve just arrived and are qualified to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall directly.”

Jun Jiuqing lowered his head slightly and leaned closer. He looked into her eyes and asked with a low smile, “Then, I’ll take you in?”

Chu Liuyue’s brows quickly knitted together before relaxing. “The family head really knows how to joke.”

To be able to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall… From a certain perspective, he was indeed powerful. However, if he said he could bring others in, it was probably teasing her.

She raised her chin and looked at the people who came in one after another behind him. “If the family head has this ability, why don’t you bring them in?”

Jin Yunlai had made it clear just now that he only wanted him to go over. The treatment was exactly the same as Nan Jinshu’s.

Jun Jiuqing raised his eyebrows slightly. “How can they compare to you?”

Then, he smiled and said, “Besides, as long as it’s something you want to do, I definitely can’t bear to joke with you.”

If she really wanted to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall, he would bring her in.

Chu Liuyue’s eyes moved, and her red lips slowly curled up into a perfect smile. She asked softly, “Family Head, who are you looking down on?”

She wanted to go in, but she wouldn’t ask him for help.

She didn’t need to rely on anyone. One day, she would be able to step into the Fantasy Divine Hall openly!

Jun Jiuqing looked at her and raised his hands. Then, he sighed softly.

His voice was lazy and low with a hint of hoa.r.s.eness.”I’m really wronged. It’s just that I’ll give you whatever you want. Is that not allowed?”

Chu Liuyue tilted her head. “I’ll s.n.a.t.c.h whatever I want myself. If I really can’t, my husband will naturally be around. Family Head… As an outsider, you don’t have to worry so much, right?”

Hearing the words ‘my husband,’ the smile on Jun Jiuqing’s face froze for a moment.

A layer of coldness gradually surged from the bottom of his eyes. He looked at her quietly, but there was a sharpness in his eyes. “You shouldn’t have chosen him.”

Chu Liuyue’s expression turned cold as well, but she found it funny. “This is my business; it has nothing to do with you. Master Yi, it’s best you don’t waste your time on me. Anyway, I won’t appreciate it. I might even stab you in the back. While I’m still in a good mood, let’s part ways here. If we continue chatting, blood will splatter on the spot and dirty the Heaven Gate and Star Path. It won’t be good.”

Then, she turned around to leave.

Jun Jiuqing looked at her figure and slowly clenched his fists with one hand behind his back. “You’ll know eventually that he’s a lunatic!”

Chu Liuyue stopped in her tracks and didn’t turn around. She only tilted her head and said calmly and firmly, “So what if he is?”

Jun Jiuqing felt a lump in his throat. “You—”

“Since I’ve decided to be with him, I naturally believe that he’ll protect him and entrust all my thoughts and intentions to him. On the other hand, Master Yi, there are so many women in the world. As long as you want them, you can have anything. Why are you so persistent about me?”

“That’s all I have to say. Family Head, take care.” With that, Chu Liuyue left.

A breeze blew over, sweeping up her black hair and the corners of her skirt.

It was clear, bright, and yet so out of reach.

The last smile on Jun Jiuqing’s face gradually faded.

The figure quickly disappeared from sight.

After a long time, the people behind him exchanged glances and finally said in a low voice, “Family Head, we should go.”

Jun Jiuqing retracted his gaze. “You know where you have to go.”

The few of them immediately bowed and replied, “Yes.”

Jun Jiuqing took a deep breath and walked toward the Fantasy Divine Hall.
