- Chapter 140 - The Scoundrel Actually Just Left
Lian Jiu handed a box to Yun Dan.
Looking at the box that had suddenly appeared in her hands, Yun Dan was somewhat curious.
Yun Dan naturally knew that the person Lian Jiu was referring to was Xiao Yueqing, but she still couldn’t understand—Xiao Yueqing had clearly said he had no way to deal with those poisons, so how had all the poison in her body suddenly been completely cleared?
Yun Dan didn’t choose to open the box directly, but instead asked Lian Jiu, “Where is he? When did he leave?”
Lian Jiu shook her head somewhat helplessly and said, “He already left last night. He probably won’t be coming back—maybe he returned to Tianqing Manor. He knows you detest him and don’t want to see him, so he left directly.”
Hearing this, Yun Dan was clearly disappointed.
She muttered quietly, “Fine, I understand. I’ll go see what he left me.”
Watching Yun Dan’s retreating figure, Lian Jiu felt very helpless.
But she had promised Xiao Yueqing not to tell Yun Dan about the womb-blood infusion technique, so she could only choose to remain silent.
At the end of the day, this matter was extremely cruel for Xiao Yueqing.
She knew all too well what state Xiao Yueqing had been in when he came out yesterday.
These poisons had caused all the poisons from ten years ago to activate. If he could never find that pill again, he probably only had two months left to live.
Lian Jiu had also urged him to quickly search for the last treasure map, which would allow him to find the treasure and save his life.
But Xiao Yueqing showed no will to live at all, only indicating that two months was enough.
Seeing Xiao Yueqing like this, Lian Jiu was furious but had no solution.
After all, she had no relationship with Xiao Yueqing, and no romantic feelings for him either. She just felt, from a friend’s perspective, that it wasn’t fair to Xiao Yueqing.
Moreover, Lian Jiu was one of the few people who knew what had happened back then, and felt he was too pitiful.
He had finally met a girl he liked, yet now things had turned out this way.
After Yun Dan returned to her room, she eagerly opened the box, only to find three pieces of paper and a wood carving inside.
This wood carving was somewhat different from the one Xiao Yueqing had given her before—this one was clearly colored, and one could immediately tell that the person carved was her.
She then picked up the other three pieces of paper from the box and looked at them, and was stunned at first glance.
Because all three pieces of paper were treasure maps—Xiao Yueqing had left all three treasure maps with her.
“Bastard, what use is it for me to have the treasure maps? I have no interest in treasure whatsoever. What about you?”
Even though they had already broken up and she claimed to particularly hate him, he was still someone she had genuinely loved. Yun Dan completely couldn’t understand Xiao Yueqing’s action.
But at the same time, Yun Dan was also curious about why she had become a healthy person overnight, with all the poison in her body gone, and even having gained internal energy.
But no matter how Yun Dan tried to inquire from Lian Jiu and Ye Bei, these two kept their mouths shut.
They would either change the subject or absolutely refuse to answer this question.
Helpless, Yun Dan could only ask the system.
“Hey system, what’s Xiao Yueqing’s current favorability toward me? And what exactly happened?”
[Dear player, Xiao Yueqing’s current favorability toward you is 99%. As for what exactly happened, it would be better for the player to find out on their own.]
“How did it suddenly jump to 99? Before it was stuck at 80 and wouldn’t go up, but suddenly it became 99. Does that mean if it increases by just 1% more, I can leave directly?”
[In principle, yes, but didn’t the player decide to stay in this world before?]
“That was because I had decided to be with him before, but now we’ve already broken up. Who says that just because we broke up and aren’t in contact, I can’t return to the real world?
Since we’ve already broken up, there’s no point in me staying in this world. But how should I get that last 1% of favorability with Xiao Yueqing?”
After all, since they had broken up, she couldn’t rashly go looking for him, and their breakup had been quite ugly—the kind where they completely cut contact.
“Forget it, if I really can’t go back, it doesn’t matter. At worst, I’ll just grow old alone here for the rest of my life. Anyway, planting flowers and living leisurely here is pretty nice too, and the Heavenly Sword Sect can certainly afford to support me.”
After recuperating at the Heavenly Sword Sect for another half month, Yun Dan felt somewhat bored and decided to go down the mountain to Qinghe Town, since she now had internal energy and traveling was much more convenient.
This time, Yun Dan didn’t tell Ye Bei, but quietly went down the mountain by herself.
She found a tavern and ordered some food, preparing to have a good meal.
However, after just a few bites, she heard people nearby discussing something.
“Did you hear? Turns out the famous Young Master Luoyue and Xiao Yueqing are actually the same person. I really didn’t expect this guy to disguise himself so well, and even more so that this great demon actually looks so handsome.”
“Exactly! The junior sister from our sect has always liked Young Master Luoyue, and when she heard they were the same person, she completely broke down.”
Of course, some people held different opinions.
“So what if they’re the same person? At the end of the day, he’s just good-looking. How is it that this kind of great demon was born so handsome, while us righteous sect members aren’t as good-looking? Do girls nowadays all like this type of bad man?”
Although they had been separated for so long, when Yun Dan heard Xiao Yueqing’s name now, she could feel her heart still flutter.
She had thought they were only discussing these things, but just as she was about to get up and leave, she heard them bring up something else.
“I heard there’s another very important matter. Do you remember Xiao Yi, the former master of Tianqing Manor? Turns out he didn’t die, and he’s resumed control of Tianqing Manor. As for where Xiao Yueqing went, no one knows, but these father and son seem somewhat at odds—I heard they even had a big fight.”
“Really? Then this Xiao Yi must have been hiding his strength all along, recuperating for years before resuming control of Tianqing Manor. I’m afraid he’s planning revenge, right? It seems that the biggest headache for the martial arts world now should be Xiao Yi. Xiao Yueqing probably poses no threat anymore.”
Yun Dan naturally knew that Xiao Yi was still alive, since she had been captured by him after all.
She just hadn’t expected that Xiao Yi now controlled Tianqing Manor, and that his relationship with Xiao Yueqing wasn’t very good. Especially since the treasure maps were now in her possession—she wondered what would happen to Xiao Yueqing.
Although a voice in her mind kept trying to dissuade her.
Yun Dan still felt somewhat uneasy, so she found an excuse for herself, planning to return to Yong City again—just to retrace the path she had taken to get here.
