The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 227: Chapter 132: Emotionless (Part 3)

Pei Shurou shook her head, "I don’t think so. There’s a legend that some special treasures choose their masters and attract them to find it."

"But according to the description by this disciple of your school, that thing might affect a person’s nature and lead them towards a path of slaughter, it’s best to stay away."

The others nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, all of them disciples from major sects, well aware that if cultivators are manipulated by their own magical artifacts, it is no different from becoming a slave to the artifact.

Jiang Yiyi patted her towering chest and stuck out her tongue, "That scared me to death. I was wondering why little Mengyao has been staring at me these past few days, turns out she wants to kill me."

Qin Mengyao felt a bit embarrassed, and could only pretend she hadn’t heard it.

In short, the group had a discussion, and seeing that Qin Mengyao’s condition had greatly improved, they turned to other matters.

Now aware that there was a reason behind everything, Gu Haitang, seeing Qin Mengyao holding Chu Xuan’s hand all along, didn’t say anything further.

But even so, her heart still felt a bit sour, so she quietly stepped forward and took Chu Xuan’s other hand.

This made Qin Mengyao glance at her, and Gu Haitang clearly felt a fleeting killing intent in the other woman’s eyes.

This caused her to furrow her brows. Has this woman gone mad?

Chu Xuan was also a bit worried and looked at his senior sister and asked, "Are you okay?"

Qin Mengyao smiled and nodded, absolutely unwilling to admit that she had indeed had murderous thoughts just now.

"Junior brother, have you and Haitang become this close?"

She distinctly remembered that outside the secret realm before, there was still an air of distance between those two.

Why is this Gu Haitang so arrogant now? Even after seeing how close I am to my junior brother, she’s still trying to step in.

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, then still nodded, "We’ve made some progress; she likes me, and I like her too."

Gu Haitang was momentarily taken aback, she originally thought Chu Xuan would keep it a secret to avoid provoking his senior sister.

Seeing him admit it so openly, her heart was moved even more.

Qin Mengyao found it somewhat unbelievable, but then she fell silent, asking nothing.

After a few seconds passed, she released Chu Xuan’s hand with a smile, "Then I won’t disturb the two of you~ lest Haitang gets mad at me later."

Chu Xuan looked at his senior sister with some concern, "Are you okay? Maybe it’s better to wait until we leave the secret realm..."

Qin Mengyao shook her head, "It’s fine now. Besides, you’re right here with me now. If there’s a problem, I’ll just hug you, but I must ask Haitang to be quite understanding."

Gu Haitang quickly replied, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing, given the situation, I won’t overthink it."

With that, Qin Mengyao nodded at her junior brother and ran off to speak with Su Yu.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan exhaled slightly, feeling that this was the best way to handle things.

Since his senior sister had already explicitly rejected him, the two shouldn’t be overly intimate, nor allow her any false hope.

After all, Chu Xuan had promised Haitang, that as long as she treated him well, he would treat her well in return, so at this moment, he must consider her feelings.

They couldn’t keep making her compromise for the sake of his senior sister’s unstable state, or let her make concessions all the time.

Gu Haitang obviously could feel Chu Xuan’s intentions, thus her gaze towards him became even more tender, while also deeply regretting her previous lack of trust in him.

Meanwhile, with Qin Mengyao, though she was chatting with Su Yu Lover, her mind clearly was elsewhere.

To be honest, now she felt quite tormented, as if someone had pierced her heart with a sharp knife and was twisting it forcefully.

Why is this happening?

Chu Xuan was supposed to like me, wasn’t he? Otherwise, back then, he wouldn’t have asked: Senior sister, will we only ever be just senior sister and junior brother?

Why has he changed now...

And that Gu Haitang, clearly back then, Chu Xuan pulled his hand away from hers in front of countless people to come find me. His joyful and excited expression back then, Qin Mengyao still remembered vividly.

But why, now, does he treat Haitang as a treasure and sees me as worthless.

This was completely different from the scenario Qin Mengyao had imagined. She had always thought she had plenty of time, after all, cultivators live many times, even dozens of times longer than mortals.

She thought she had all the time in the world to consider if she should take things further with Chu Xuan.

She always thought that even if she rejected Chu Xuan, if she ever changed her mind in the future, he would definitely wait for her where he was.

Until today, the cold reality shattered Qin Mengyao’s fantasies, awakening her to the fact that things weren’t as beautiful as she had imagined.

Chu Xuan is also a living person; he has his own feelings and thoughts, he won’t remain in place forever, remain celibate just for her.

In the end, Qin Mengyao discovered that the ridiculous one was herself...

"What’s the matter?" Su Yu noticed that Qin Mengyao suddenly fell silent, her gaze vacant, and asked with some concern.

Qin Mengyao snapped back to reality and shook her head, "It’s nothing, just... I’ve figured it out."

Matters of love, let those infatuated men and spiteful women of the world deal with them.

She turned once to glance at Chu Xuan, who was over there, holding Gu Haitang’s hand, speaking and laughing warmly.

Qin Mengyao’s expression gradually turned cold, and she murmured to herself: "Ultimate detachment, ultimate detachment...."

For some reason, she felt the call of that thing suddenly become stronger again, several times stronger than before. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

But Qin Mengyao no longer wavered, her boiling murderous intent was suppressed by her cold thoughts, unable to dominate her mind and soul again.

She was confident, even if she responded to its call right now, she would be the one in control, not it.

However, Qin Mengyao did not make a move, now wasn’t the right time. If needed in the future, she would come and take it.
