Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 415
When he said this, Lin Qing was taken aback.
He could barely remember his initial encounter with Chen Muxue, only vaguely recalling that their relationship at the time was adversarial, but later...
Later, because of gourmet food and the discovery of Chen Muxue’s strange skill linked to it, his master instructed him to build a good relationship with Chen Muxue and, at the right moment, recruit her into the Liuyun Sect. Chen Muxue even cured Shi’er of the Absolute Spirit Powder. Later, due to the Black Qi, he gained more opportunities to get close to her. Previously, it seemed he was constantly thinking about how to draw her into the Liuyun Sect...
Lin Qing realized that his relationship with Chen Muxue was not quite that of a friend. From the start, he approached with an agenda, yet unknowingly followed in her footsteps to this point...
The woman holding the Fire Fox watched the two of them from the side. Seeing Lin Qing seem lost in thought, gradually showing his disappointment, she sighed inwardly and shook her head.
Another one distracted by emotions halfway through a career. Either focus on your career or concentrate on managing a relationship; how can you achieve a good result if you’re undecided? You’re not the protagonist!
Sighing, the woman approached the Imperial Concubine Wan, grabbing a handful of sunflower seeds from a tray held by a beautiful palace maid next to her.
The skill of shelling sunflower seeds with one hand is something every gossip-loving lady should learn; it’s incredibly practical...
The Imperial Concubine Wan watched her fluid movements, a question mark slowly appearing above her head, but she didn’t pursue the matter. She merely glanced at the woman’s fingernail crevice, waved her hand for another beautiful palace maid to serve a new plate of sunflower seeds, so that whole plate could be shelled just for the woman.
Cen Lizhui saw Lin Qing’s expression, furrowed his brows, and said no more. The urgent task was not to assign blame; he had acted impulsively, but now calm, he turned and left.
The Imperial Concubine Wan was momentarily stunned—just leaving like that? Not going to clarify things? At least take this opportunity to shatter Lin Gongzi’s heart completely before leaving!
But she couldn’t speak to retain him; she looked around. There were already few palace attendants who could move.
Surprisingly considerate, someone left a few people for her to command.
Seeing Cen Lizhui turn and walk away decisively, Lin Qing had just lifted his foot to follow when he realized something, clenched his fist, and walked out, choosing a direction opposite to Cen Lizhui’s.
The Second Prince, dragging the Fifth Prince, awaited at a spot marking the way to the underground altar based on the Fifth Prince’s memories, only to see Cen Lizhui hastily pass by them without a glance.
The Second Prince stopped gripping the Fifth Prince’s collar, giving him a casual toss, and hurriedly chased after: "Hey! Wait a second! Aren’t we checking out the altar?"
"This matter, you go to the Yangxin Hall and find people from the Immortal Supervision Bureau. By now, they should be there. Tell them the truth, and they will handle it." Cen Lizhui waved a big hand, not looking back.
The Second Prince pondered: Why did they come here in the first place? Couldn’t they just have called for the Immortal Supervision Bureau right away? However, he did not voice his thoughts. Seeing Cen Lizhui like this, whatever he said now, Cen Lizhui wouldn’t change his mind.
Instead, the Fifth Prince, upon hearing Cen Lizhui’s words, breathed a huge sigh of relief. That underground altar was eerie and terrifying. Given they didn’t have to go anymore, he felt somewhat happy.
Cen Lizhui had originally intended to explore first. Yu Yan had previously mentioned the Black Dragon Night Brilliance, which was taboo for his senior brother Yun Chi as well; previously, the Yin Family showed abnormal signs, prompting his hurried rush there.
Initially, he wanted to go to the underground altar to see if it related to the Black Dragon Night Brilliance, but... with such an intangible matter, he didn’t even have the White Dragon Scale on hand to do anything, so he might as well go find Chen Muxue.
