wanted nothing more than to kill her with a single sword! If not for her, how could Su Qingying have jumped off the cliff If not for her relentless pressure, how could this place be in such ruin"My l..."Su Qingying, what do you mean by that" Zhao Ruqing frowned and stood in front of Jun Liye, glaring at Su Qingying menacingly.

For some reason, Su Qingying felt very uncomfortable when she looked into Jun Liye's eyes. Her woman's intuition told her that she and Ye Gege definitely had a past she didn't know about!

Suddenly, she remembered Su Qingying's sarcastic remarks towards her without any reason before. Zhao Ruqing's face changed drastically, and an idea rose uncontrollably from the bottom of her heart:

She and Ye Gege might have been lovers!

At this thought, Zhao Ruqing's heart suddenly surged with a sour and unbearable jealousy. Her murderous intent toward Su Qingying deepened once again!

"None of your business, shut your yap! Jun Liye, answer my question!" Zhao Ruoqing ignored Su Qingying's plea completely, her anger reaching its peak. Su Qingying raised her phoenix eyes, never taking them off him for a moment, with a hint of almost pathetic pleading in her gaze.

Boom boom boom —

Just then, a bolt of thunder exploded overhead. Immediately after, large raindrops swirled down from the heavens, pounding on them relentlessly, as if coating them with a layer of silver.

Jun Liye pursed her lips, and under the heavy downpour, a trace of profound sadness flashed across her eyes before vanishing quickly.

His blood-red eyes flickered for a moment, then after a long silence, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Does this question even matter"

"Yes!" she answered without hesitation. Her blood-red clothes billowed and danced in the storm, like a rose enduring the baptism of rain - beautiful, desolate, tragic.

Under her almost aggressive gaze, Jun Liye's heart seemed to be being slowly tortured by a blunt knife. His thin lips parted slightly, about to speak, when suddenly, a jade bone fan slashed through the air, spinning rapidly from behind Su Qingying, sharp and deadly!

"Hmph, mere tricks of a worm!" Jun Liye let out a cold snort, casually breaking off a bamboo stalk and effortlessly forcing the Jade Bone Fan back.

His face was cold and composed, but inwardly he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately...

"Girl, let's go!" With a leap, she reached out to catch the jade bone fan that was rebounded back. Immediately, she flicked her wrist, and two black pellets shot out from between her fingers instantly. Shangguan Jinghong and Zhao Tianyu each took one side of Su Qingying, using their light skills to leave.

"No, it's a smoke bomb!" By the time the thick smoke was dispersed by the rain curtain, where was Su Qingying's shadow Zhao Ruoqing's face darkened, and she immediately stomped her foot in anger, "Damn it, they actually escaped!"

Gazing in the direction where Su Qingying and the others left, Jun Liye's blood-red eyes were dark and deep, his thin lips slightly pursed, silent.

Close his eyes, his mind was filled with her pale and beautiful face. The heart-wrenching questions echoed in his mind, lingering and refusing to leave.

"Night Brother, what's the matter with you and Su Qingying Do you know each other" Jealousy, like a venomous snake, gnawed ceaselessly at her heart. Zhao Ruoqing stared intently into his eyes, unwavering, refusing to miss any subtle expression on his face.

"I don't remember her." Blood eyes flickered, but eventually returned to calm, Jun Li Ye's voice was flat, without any waves.

"Really" Zhao Ruqing pressed, unwilling to accept it.

"Qing'er, do you suspect me" Jun Liye's handsome face already showed a clear displeasure.

Because of jealousy and anger, she momentarily lost her composure. Seeing the impatience on his face, Zhao Ruoqing came to her senses, her face paled, and she nervously said, "No, Ye Gege said that it wasn't... Hmm!"

A sharp pain in her chest, Zhao Ruzhi's legs went weak and she suddenly knelt on the ground, bowing her head, groaning in agony.

Her ink-stained hair fell, obscuring her face. From his angle, he could only faintly see something writhing on the pulse in her neck.

"Qing'er!" Jun Li's eyes narrowed, he crouched down and was about to lift her drooping ink hair.

"No! I'm fine!" Zhao Ruqing was startled by his actions and quickly swatted away his hand. She turned her back to him and shouted to Ling'er, who stood beside them, "Ling'er! Quickly, take me back to the mansion!"

"Princess, be careful!" Ling'er understood immediately and hurried forward to help her up. She cleverly shielded the princess from Jun Li Ye's gaze and rushed to the front.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhao Tianyu directly carried Su Qingying on his back and rushed forward. The torrential rain hit their bodies, blurring their vision and chilling them to the bone.

"Cough cough..." Though she bit her lip tightly, the faint coughs still reached both of their ears. A trace of crimson blood seeped from the corner of Su Qingying's already pale lips.

"Lightly, how are you hurt" Zhao Tianyu carried her on his back, his speed undiminished, his wild and unrestrained voice betraying concern.

"I'm not dead yet." Su Qingying leaned against his back, closing her eyes softly, a hint of self-deprecation at the corner of her mouth.

"Little lass, logically speaking, with the Ancient Moon Harp in your hand, they shouldn't have been able to harm you this easily. How did you end up so badly injured" Shangguan Jinghong rushed after her, holding her Ancient Moon Harp and frowned.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying slightly turned her head to glance at him, a trace of sadness and bitterness in her eyes. A curl of her red lips, she scoffed self-deprecatingly: "How could I possibly be his opponent when Jun Liye makes his move"

“He attacked you last night How is that possible!” Shangguan Jinghong’s eyes narrowed in disbelief as his mouth gaped open, the shock evident on his face.

"Well, how could this be If you had come any later, I'm afraid I would have already become a soul under his control!" Her whole body felt drained of blood, Su Qingying’s eyes were bloodshot, her voice choked with sobs, tears flowing down her cheeks mixing with the rain.

"That's it, stop talking or your injuries will worsen," Zhao Tianyu said, his brows furrowed. Under the cold rain curtain, his pair of deep and dark eyes swept across a chilling coldness, his pitch-black pupils seemed to devour an overwhelming rage.

In his heart, Su Qingying had always been like a younger sister to him. But Jun Liye dared to hurt her time and again, and today he even seriously injured her. Just for this, from now on, he would never want to see her again!

It was night, the sky was pitch black, not a glimmer of light could be seen. It had rained all day long, and even the air felt damp. A cool wind picked up, bringing with it an icy chill.

The candlelight in the room flickered softly, Su Qingying lay on the bed covered by a blanket, but her eyes were wide open and she couldn't sleep at all.

Squeal—

The room's door swung open, a gust of cold wind accompanied by a drizzle pouring in. Su Qingying lay on her back with her head facing the wall, she retracted her neck and instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around her.

Thinking it was Xuan Yuan Rong Fei sending her food again, Su Qing Ying replied without looking back, "I don't want to eat, put…"

Before she could finish her words, a heavy shadow suddenly fell upon her. Immediately after, a faint cold fragrance wafted over. She was all too familiar with this scent!

She suddenly turned around and truly saw Jun Liye looking down at her with a pursed lip.

Because of the backlight, his delicate and three-dimensional eyebrows and eyes were half hidden in the darkness, his blood-red eyes flickering indistinctly.

"How did you get here!" Su Qingying's phoenix eyes narrowed, and she instinctively sat up. She couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in her heart.

However, upon recalling his ruthless coldness earlier that day, the smile on her lips froze instantly. Her ecstatic heart gradually turned cold as she scoffed, "So, you failed to kill me last time in the bamboo forest, and now you're directly coming to my residence at the Prince's Manor to take my life"centuated her peerless beauty, making her appearance as captivating as poetry and painting, so beautiful that one couldn't look away.Nobody knows what sulfur means better than her, it's gold in these...
