Chapter 8: This is given to me by the Light Beauty!

Currently, Xingluo Sect is in a period of change, and the label of being a spy is truly too heavy.

If anyone is caught, they will definitely be punished according to the sect's rules. They could have their cultivation abolished at best, or be thrown into the source fire for forty-nine days at worst.

No one has ever come out alive from there.

Jun Muqian's eyes were cold, but her tone was calm: "I didn't know that in your eyes, Luoling Jun, Muqian is such a person."

As if stung, Luoling Jun's pupils shrank fiercely, and he subconsciously let go of her hand.

He inhaled deeply and said coldly, "Did I say something wrong? You were taken by the Regent's Council and came back unscathed. Didn't you seek refuge with the Tianlin Dynasty?"

At this point, Ye Wanying had already recovered. Her face was swollen, but she still insisted on speaking, "Yes, Senior Sister Mu, how come you have no injuries at all?"

Anyone who dares to hit her must die!

"Does Junior Sister hope that I am injured?" Jun Muqian turned her head, smiling ambiguously. "Right, after all, it was Junior Sister who told the other senior brothers that I wanted to take your place."

She slowly rolled up her sleeve, revealing a crimson, horrifying scar. "Junior Sister, do you remember this?"

"These wounds were all inflicted by your admirers. I'm sure many people saw them, right?"

Having made the decision to come back, she naturally had to make all the necessary preparations.

These were not real injuries; they were made with herbal medicine.

There was no other way, the medicine of the Light Beauty was too good.

Luoling Jun was taken aback, looking somewhat incredulous. "Wanying?"

Ye Wanying trembled and raised her head abruptly. "Senior Sister Muqian, why do you have to use such despicable means to frame me? Clearly, it's you who took my place!"

Since they had already torn off the mask, they might as well go all the way.

After all, Luoling Jun would only stand on her side.

"Then, Junior Sister, please tell me how a useless person like me, who cannot cultivate spiritual power, managed to take your Blood Luminous Jade Pendant?" Jun Muqian looked at her calmly. "And how did I make the people from the Regent's Council think that I am you, Ye Wanying?"

"And how did I take your place? Can't even the sect master recognize his own daughter?"

The disciples of Xingluo Sect were really fools, unable to see such obvious loopholes.

Ye Wanying's body was on the verge of collapse.

She was finished; Muqian's few words had shaken the image she had painstakingly built.

"Enough!" At this moment, Luoling Jun coldly reprimanded, "Why are you all standing around here? Get lost, all of you!"

The disciples instantly fell silent, and after hurriedly bidding farewell, they all left.

"Lu Brother, you have to believe me, I really didn't do it." Ye Wanying grabbed Luoling Jun's arm, crying uncontrollably, "I don't know why things turned out this way."

At this moment, Ye Wanying had no idea that her current appearance was as ugly as a frozen turnip, especially when she cried.

She cried so convincingly that she didn't notice the faint disgust in Luoling Jun's eyes.

"Wanying, of course, I believe you." Luoling Jun comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I will help you get your things back."

"Okay!" Ye Wanying wiped away her tears and nodded vigorously. "I knew Lu Brother would always be the best to me."

With that, she glanced smugly at the girl in purple.

"Muqian, you have three days to return the Blood Luminous Jade Pendant to Wanying." Luoling Jun's eyes were cold as he looked at her. "This is my final tolerance for you."

"Do you have any dignity?" Jun Muqian grew impatient. "Who do you think you are, putting on airs like this?"

It was embarrassing for a little brat to act so mature.

Luoling Jun struggled to contain his anger and said slowly, "If you don't return it in three days, we'll meet at the Sect Law Hall!"

After a pause, his expression became somewhat complicated. "Also, I won't tell the sect master and the elders about today's events. Muqian, you're on your own."

This statement stunned Ye Wanying. She wanted to speak up to stop him, but she also knew that if a woman interfered too much, it would annoy the man, so she kept quiet.

"Fine—" Jun Muqian tossed the pendant in her hand and smiled provocatively. "So, can I ask you two to leave now?"

It was quite funny; this was clearly Muqian's small stone house, but Ye Wanying often acted as if it were hers.

"You!" Luoling Jun's eyelids twitched, and he said coldly, "Wanying, let's go!"

"Lu Brother, wait for me." Ye Wanying gave the purple-clad girl a fierce look and then hurriedly followed.

Both of them walked quickly, as if they were avoiding something.

"Sect Law Hall?" Jun Muqian smirked. "I'd like to see it, but..."

A cold light flashed in her eyes. "Luoling Jun's attitude is a bit strange."

He clearly disliked her so much, yet he still left some room for maneuver. It was truly contradictory.

"Phew..." Jun Muqian exhaled. "Let's see what good things the Light Beauty has given me."

She took out a jade bottle from her clothes and uncorked it.

Instantly, a very fragrant scent wafted out of the bottle, causing all the pores on her body to open up.

"Smells good," Jun Muqian praised. "So, the Light Beauty is quite generous."

She tilted the jade bottle, preparing to pour out its contents, but at that moment!

With a "whoosh," the jade bottle slipped from her hand and flew purposefully towards the north.

"!"

Someone is stealing my stuff!

If Qing Meiren knew she hadn't kept it safe, she would never see his face again.

Jun Mu Qian didn't hesitate at all and chased after the jade bottle.

Unexpectedly, the bottle flew for a full stick of incense time.

Fortunately, at this time, the disciples of Xingluo Sect were all resting and didn't witness the bizarre scene of someone chasing after a bottle.

After the jade bottle stopped flying, it landed with a thud in a dense patch of grass.

Jun Mu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and walked over, but then!

"Burp—"

In the air, a clear burp sounded.

Jun Mu Qian was stunned for a second, then bent down.

To her surprise, when she pushed aside the weeds, she didn't see the jade bottle, only a half-hollow silver spherical object lying there.

Wait, is this... a bell?

So, that sound just now was because this bell ate what Qing Meiren gave her?!

Jun Mu Qian picked up the silver bell and held it up to her eyes.

Before she could examine it closely, the next moment... she suddenly stepped into thin air!
