Chapter 120: Ye Lingxuan, The Second Protagonist p2
As if sensing Mu Zhi’an’s gaze staring at a certain place, Ye Lingxuan couldn’t help but give Mu Zhi’an a look, softly saying, “What are you looking at?”
That voice seemed to carry a hint of a little girl’s coquettish tone when falling in love.
This glare looked quite cute and playful, also causing many people’s gazes to fall on Ye Lingxuan.
After this glare, Ye Lingxuan’s gaze remained fixed on Mu Zhi’an’s face for a long time.
During these past few days of secluded cultivation in Ling Long’s celestial abode, she had calmly reflected alone for a long time and instead realized her own feelings.
In the past, for the sake of her younger sister Ye Qian, she would always subconsciously try to avoid these feelings.
But ever since she started cultivating alone, whenever she closed her eyes in her free time, what she thought of was this boy who seemed like the boy next door teasing her with his words, that handsome face, and that kind smile.
Even her ability to gain the inheritance from Lin Ling’s celestial abode and activate the Dragon Soaring Whiskers this time was also due to him.
Thinking of this, Ye Lingxuan’s light purple eyes gazing at Mu Zhi’an couldn’t help but fill with a trace of infatuated tenderness.
“What’s wrong, Lingxuan?” Mu Zhi’an asked in puzzlement, thinking that although his face was handsome, it shouldn’t be enough to make this girl, who usually remained calm no matter what happened, stare at him in a daze…
Ye Lingxuan gently shook her head, smiling faintly. “It’s nothing.”
After saying that, she withdrew her gaze and respectfully nodded towards Ye Yu, saying, “We’ll head back first, Brother Ye Yu.”
After speaking, she pulled Mu Zhi’an’s wrist and left the peak together.
“You should be tired after cultivating in seclusion for so long, right?” Mu Zhi’an plucked up the courage to hold Ye Lingxuan’s small hand. He turned his head to look at her and smiled.
The warm sensation of his palm caused Ye Lingxuan’s face to involuntarily flush with a light shade of red. It was just that due to a girl’s reserved nature, she still tried hard to maintain her elegant demeanor, eyes looking ahead with a calm expression.
“Mm… I’m not very tired. By the way, with so many people watching, can you let go of my hand?” She seemed a bit dissatisfied.
“Does that mean when there’s no one around, I don’t have to let go?” Mu Zhi’an turned his head to look at her and softly asked.
Ye Lingxuan suddenly fell silent and didn’t speak for a long time.
The two walked back to the Jade Glass Palace hand in hand like this.
At the same time, Ye Yu was still standing at the peak of Boundless Sea Peak, watching the departing figures of the two. He could only feel the cold wind penetrating his skin, bringing a bone-chilling coldness, yet still unable to extinguish the jealousy burning in his heart.
During this period, with his identity as an alchemist and his talent, Ye Yu could be said to have gained the favor and flattery of many, many people, among them even one or two female cultivators with decent appearances.
However, the radiance Ye Lingxuan displayed after coming out of seclusion made the surrounding female cultivators seem dull and lackluster in comparison.
Recalling the scenes of Ye Lingxuan affectionately calling him “Brother Ye Yu” in the past, and then seeing the recent scene of her treating him like a stranger, Ye Yu’s anger towards Mu Zhi’an in his heart had already reached an uncontrollable level.
Ye Yu seemed to have never considered that in the past when he was in the Ye family for so many years, there were plenty of opportunities to pursue Ye Lingxuan. But at that time, he was waiting for the other party to take the initiative… Now that Ye Lingxuan was ‘actively’ pursued by someone else, whose fault was it in the end?
“Young Master Ye, it seems your mood isn’t very good.”
At this moment, a gloomy voice suddenly came from behind.
Ye Yu turned his head to look and saw the Third Prince wearing a python robe with four claws and a face like jade.
“Third Prince…?” Ye Yu frowned slightly. “What do you want?”
He disliked Mu Zhi’an, but he didn’t have much good feelings towards the Third Prince either.
Because essentially, the Third Prince and Mu Zhi’an were the same type of people. They were both the kind of prodigal disciples who never worked hard and only played petty tricks.
“It seems you must hate Mu Zhi’an to the bone, right?” The Third Prince transmitted his voice, holding a folding fan in his hand, his face wearing a smile.
Ye Yu frowned slightly. Seeing him beat around the bush, he didn’t want to pay any attention and turned to leave.
At this moment, the Third Prince transmitted his voice again, “Does Bai Ruoxi’s body really contain demonic energy?”
Ye Yu’s steps halted and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the Third Prince.
“Where did you hear that from?” Ye Yu transmitted his voice.
The Third Prince slightly narrowed his eyes.
It seems what Manting said was all true.
As someone who grew up in the imperial palace, he still had the brains to verify with other people after asking Huang Manting.
In that case, it was indeed true that Miss Bai Ruoxi’s body contained demonic energy. It was just that back in Tianxuan City, Ye Yu couldn’t go against the Mu family…
But this place was Two Polarities Sect.
Ye Yu looked at the Third Prince’s pondering expression, and a name surfaced in his mind: Huang Manting.
Recently, the Third Prince seemed to be getting very close with that young lady from the Morning Glory Chamber of Commerce.
Although Ye Yu never understood what the Third Prince was thinking, why he would pursue a seductress like Huang Manting.
Ye Yu obviously didn’t know that some people enjoyed being a dog under Huang Manting’s feet, not because they lacked money or needed something from her, but purely because they “liked” it.
They liked the feeling of being stepped on.
In the end, not to mention in the mortal world, even in the cultivation world, there were many people who paid money to have others be their master.
In this world, there were all kinds of weirdos, and quite a lot of them.
Just like how Mu Zhi’an was currently still fantasizing that in the future, after conquering Wei Mengrou, he wanted Sister Mengrou to lift her skirt, left leg in white stockings and right leg in black stockings, and step on him with the disdainful gaze of looking at an insect.
Of course, this was just a bit of romantic sentiment and didn’t mean Mu Zhi’an enjoyed being treated like that all the time.
“What do you want to do?” Ye Yu transmitted his voice.
The Third Prince coldly laughed. “I’ll do what others dare not do!”
Mu Zhi’an privately sheltering a demon cultivator, this crime… was enough for him to die a hundred times over.
