Chapter 332: Unfaithful? (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Luo Ning’s eyes widened, and she looked around with her peripheral vision. It seemed that she wanted to run away, but she knew that she couldn’t. She could only use all her willpower to pretend to be calm. “Shuishui? Why are you here? I… I happened to pass by…”

Her voice trailed off.

After the surprise in Daoist Xuanji’s eyes faded, they turned solemn. She walked into the room unhurriedly and wanted to sit on the bed, but she smelled a strange smell…

?!

Daoist Xuanji guessed something, and a hint of shock flashed across her eyes. But she remained calm and sat on a chair. She narrowed her eyes slightly at her former best friend, who was at a loss. “Ning’er, back then, you left without saying goodbye. I personally went to the South Firmament Mountains to pick you up, but you refused to leave. You were even so heartless. You said that you really liked Xue Baijin and asked me not to ruin your marriage… Now that you’ve already become Madam Xue, we’re an official and a bandit and irreconcilable with each other. Even if I miss our old friendship, 1 have to take you down and hand you over to the Imperial Court to deal with. Are you sure you happened to pass by here?”

Luo Ning’s heart was like dead ashes. She didn’t even dare to look at Daoist Xuanji. Now, she only wanted to hide behind her man and let the little thief handle the matter.

But the little thief was heartless and went to accompany the princess…

What do 1 do, what do I do… Luo Ning clenched her hands in her sleeves and slowly sat down opposite Daoist Xuanji, pretending to be calm. “I… It’s a long story. 1 have no intention of rebelling. Back then, 1 went to the South Firmament Mountains because of my family’s blood debt. Void Jade Mountain couldn’t teach me martial arts, and I had to seek revenge from the Thousand Buddha Temple, so…”

“So you gave yourself to Xue Baijin and asked him to help you take revenge?”

“Not really. I just want him to teach me martial arts. I’ll take revenge myself…”

“Oh…” Daoist Xuanji nodded thoughtfully. “You accompanied Xue Baijin for more than ten years and realized that he didn’t mean what he said and deceived you. So you looked for a better job and found Ye Jingtang?”

Luo Ning raised her face, her eyes a little annoyed. After all, Daoist Xuanji’s words completely described her as a woman who didn’t hesitate to rely on her looks to seduce men in order to achieve her goal!

But in the eyes of outsiders, this seemed to be the truth… freewe bnovel .com

Luo Ning didn’t want her former best friend to misunderstand her like this. She braced herself and explained, “I’m not a fickle woman…”

“So you married Xue Baijin first, and now you’re with Ye Jingtang…” Daoist Xuanji glanced at the bed, her meaning self-explanatory.

Feeling ashamed, Luo Ning gritted her teeth and explained, “Last year, Qiu Tianhe was arrested. Under the orders of the Pacifying Heaven Cult, I… 1 went to the capital to rescue him. Coincidentally, 1 bumped into Ye Jingtang, who had just entered the capital. He… he saw that 1 was beautiful, so he took liberties with me and pestered me. I had no choice…”

Luo Ning was telling the truth. After all, the little thief had indeed been like this at the beginning.

But to Luo Ning’s surprise, just as she pulled the little thief out to block the lightning, Shuishui frowned. “You’re not young anymore. Don’t push the blame to the child. Ye Jingtang is chivalrous and upright. How could he be bewitched by beauty and force a woman?”

??

Luo Ning was stunned when she heard this. It was obvious that she was saying Ye Jingtang was young and upright. It must be you, the bad older sister, who seduced him and wanted to shift the responsibility onto him.

It would be fine if this were really the case, but what she said was obviously the truth!

A child?

Besides loving to eat watermelons, how is Ye Jingtang a child?

Luo Ning sat up straighter. “Shuishui, I was with you for more than a year. Don’t you know my character? Do 1 seem like that kind of woman?”

Daoist Xuanji knew that Luo Ning was very pure in the past, but people changed. It had been more than ten years, and Luo Ning was still with the Pacifying Heaven Cult. Who knew if her character had changed drastically?

But Ye Jingtang was different. A few days ago, she had hugged him and rubbed against him. He had remained as still as a mountain and showed no signs of lust.

Her looks were not inferior to Ning’er’s, and with her status as the ‘number one female expert in the world’, this was enough to prove that Ye Jingtang was not a man with a bad character.

However, Daoist Xuanji couldn’t say these arguments explicitly. She only said, “I’m very good at judging people. Ye Jingtang is definitely not what you said—” “That’s because he changed! After he bullied me, I was very angry, so he changed his ways. I… I only let him off because 1 saw that he wasn’t a bad person… I’m still following him because I want him to go to the Pacifying Heaven Cult, but he has his heart set on the Imperial Court and refuses. And he doesn’t allow me to leave either…”

After listening for a moment, Daoist Xuanji gradually understood the situation. “At first, Ye Jingtang was lustful and ruined your innocence. You saw that he was talented and a good person, so you didn’t blame him. Then you developed feelings for him. Now, you want to cut off your ill-fated relationship and return to Xue Baijin, but he can’t bear to let you go. So you’re deceiving yourself and others and hiding day by day?”

Luo Ning pursed her lips. She wanted to say that she had no feelings for Ye Jingtang and was forcefully tied up here, but Shuishui definitely wouldn’t believe this. She could only nod faintly.

Daoist Xuanji looked at her ‘unfaithful’ old friend. After a moment of silence, she shook her head gently. “If you do this… what will Xue Baijin do? If he finds out that the wife he officially married ran away with Ye Jingtang, the two of you will probably be cut into pieces…”

Luo Ning didn’t think this would happen. If Baijin found out that she was having an affair, she would at worst hang the little thief up and beat him up before ‘divorcing’ her.

But if this matter were to spread, Xue Baijin and the Pacifying Heaven Cult would probably become laughingstocks in Jianghu on the spot, and she would be too ashamed to go out and meet people for the rest of her life. So she replied seriously, “I’ll take care of this matter myself. Ye Jingtang is righteous and wants peace in the world. That’s why he’s working in the Black Office and working for the Prince of Jing. 1 think what he said makes sense. He’ll think of a way to persuade Baijin to accept amnesty and recruitment. Don’t tell outsiders about this.. Once the news spreads, it will be impossible to reverse the situation…”
