Chapter 7: Did this seat give you face?

"Lingjun Senior Brother!"

"Lingjun Senior Brother, you finally came. As soon as Mu Qian returned, she started bullying Wan Ying Junior Sister."

"Lingjun Senior Brother, you must teach her a lesson!"

The disciples, who were just in disarray, now seemed to have found their backbone, even the senior brother who had a pleasing appearance earlier.

Upon hearing these words, Luo Lingjun couldn't help but furrow his brows.

His gaze first fell on the girl in purple, and when he saw those cold, emotionless peach blossom eyes, his expression suddenly changed.

For some reason, this expression made him feel uneasy.

Luo Lingjun's brows furrowed even tighter, and his stern features seemed to be coated with a layer of frost.

"Luo, Luo Big Brother," Ye Wanying's voice was timid, but she couldn't hide her joy, "Why did you come?"

"I came to see you." Luo Lingjun finally relaxed his brows and smiled slightly, "How have you been these days? Is your health okay?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanying remained silent, but her eyes kept drifting towards the purple-clad girl playing with a jade pendant on the side.

She must get the Blood Luminous Jade Pendant back!

It's related to a big secret of the Tianxuan Peak!

Luo Lingjun naturally noticed all of this, and his voice softened a bit, "Wanying, what's wrong?"

"I..." Ye Wanying just shook her head, her voice choked, "It has nothing to do with Mu Senior Sister. It's my own fault."

Then, she raised her head, tears streaming down her face, "Mu Senior Sister, although I know this request is unreasonable, can you please return the Blood Luminous Jade Pendant to me?"

"Return it to you?" Jun Mu Qian raised an eyebrow, "But you gave it to me, saying that I must wear it no matter what."

When she touched the pendant, she could feel the spiritual power fluctuating inside, indicating that it was no ordinary pendant.

This statement made Ye Wanying's already pale face even paler, and suddenly—

"Thud—" she knelt down, clutching the hem of the purple-clad girl's clothes, pleading, "Mu Senior Sister, I've never asked you for anything, but now I'm begging you, can you please return it to me?"

She didn't believe that Mu Qian would take her things in front of so many people!

Jun Mu Qian crossed her arms, bent down to look at her, and half mockingly, half disdainfully said, "Then I'll also beg you, can you not disgust me like this?"

After speaking, she began to count silently: one, two, three...

As expected!

"Mu Qian!" Luo Lingjun's expression turned cold, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

He helped Ye Wanying up and embraced her, his gaze icy, "Return the Blood Luminous Jade Pendant to Wanying, and then apologize."

"Luo Big Brother, don't be like this." Ye Wanying seemed a little angry, "You know, Mu Senior Sister, she..."

"Wanying, don't speak." Luo Lingjun interrupted her, his voice still cold, "I've said it before, Mu Qian is not worthy of my affection."

As his words fell, the other disciples also felt it was only natural.

"Yeah, with her appearance, she still dares to expect Lingjun Senior Brother to like her?"

"Just look at her own behavior."

But at that moment!

"Ha—"

A very out-of-place laughter made all the voices abruptly stop.

Jun Mu Qian leaned against a tree, laughing to the point of almost falling over.

"Mu Qian!" Seeing this scene, Luo Lingjun's veins bulged on his forehead.

Jun Mu Qian laughed for a while before stopping, half mockingly and half disdainfully said, "Luo Lingjun, don't flatter yourself. With your looks, you're far inferior to the beauties I know."

She was completely superior even with a mask on!

"Mu Senior Sister, I know you're upset." Ye Wanying saw that Luo Lingjun was on the verge of rage, and she spoke softly, "This will only push Luo Big Brother further away."

"Junior Sister, your words confuse me even more." Jun Mu Qian smirked slightly, "When did I ever like Luo Lingjun? Why don't you ask the other disciples, who do they think it is, you or me?"

Ye Wanying's face immediately stiffened, and she realized she had made a mistake.

She had forgotten that Mu Qian was introverted, and her emotions were never on display, always wearing a stoic expression.

It was only when she found a paper with Luo Lingjun's name in Mu Qian's room that she learned about this. Then she told Luo Lingjun about it as a joke, but the other disciples didn't know.

After this was said, the other disciples, after a moment of shock, subconsciously murmured, "It seems like that's right. I remember it was Wanying Junior Sister who admired Lingjun Senior Brother, and Mu Qian was like a wooden person."

Ye Wanying's face became even stiffer, and she looked to Luo Lingjun for help, only to find that his gaze wasn't on her, but was fixed on the indifferent girl in purple.

Jun Mu Qian calmly looked back at the handsome face of the man, "Luo Lingjun, did you hear that?"

At the same time, she thought to herself, Lingjun, did you see it?

The person you treasure as a treasure considers you a disgrace, yet you still stand by her.

In addition to Ye Wanying, Mu Qian also had another important person in her heart, the first genius of the Xingluo Sect, Luo Lingjun.

He had given her a glimmer of hope, but then used that glimmer to hurt her.

Jun Mu Qian sighed, admiring Mu Qian's determination, but feeling sorry for her.

Those four words made Luo Lingjun's chest feel heavy, and he endured his anger, speaking again, "It doesn't matter. Mu Qian, you must apologize to Wanying today!"

"Apologize?" Jun Mu Qian sneered, not even looking at Luo Lingjun, "I'm giving you face?"

"!"

The disciples were shocked.

Ye Wanying also widened her eyes.

Luo Lingjun was truly furious now, gritting his teeth, "Mu Qian, you're going too far."

"Brother Luo, please don't be angry." Ye Wanying knelt down with a thud and began to cry, "Senior Sister Mu, if you dislike me, just hit me, don't treat Brother Luo like this."

The next moment, there was a crisp sound of a slap, and the burning pain made her cheeks numb.

Ye Wanying covered her face in disbelief. Mu Qian actually hit her?

She was just talking!

"..."

Deadly silence.

"No need to thank me," Jun Mu Qian smiled, "This is what you wanted."

This slap was nothing.

After all, she couldn't go too far. Take it slow.

But as she turned around, a sudden gust of evil wind attacked.

Jun Mu Qian raised an eyebrow, dodged to the side, and there was another "smack."

The force of a man's hand was even greater, making the person spit out blood directly.

But immediately after—

"Sister Wanying!"

"Sister Wanying, are you okay?"

Of course, she wasn't okay!

Ye Wanying's vision darkened, a sweet and fishy taste surged in her throat, and her ears buzzed.

How could she be hit again?!

Jun Mu Qian coldly smiled, "Luo Lingjun, you really don't hold back."

This slap was infused with spiritual power. If it had hit her, she would have been seriously injured.

"You're quick to hide." After a brief moment of astonishment, Luo Lingjun's eyes filled with hostility, "Mu Qian, I now suspect you are a spy from the Regent's Pavilion. Come with me to see the Sect Master!"

The expressions of everyone present immediately changed!
