My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 958 - 552: Counterplot (Triple Combo) (2)

After Chen Yi turned and left, Yin Weiyin put away her clueless demeanor and lifted her delicate nose slightly.

Having been together for so long, Chen Yi was already touched at heart, it was the best time to speak. Xiao Yin often took advantage of such moments to whisper pillowside words, and in the past, Yin Weiyin had seen it. Now that she used it, she was unstoppable. It's just pretending to be innocent and pitiable, isn't it? If Xiao Yin can do it, why can't she? It's just that she disdained such petty tricks.

Now that the truth is clear and the words have been spoken openly, it's time to promptly curb Chen Yi's feelings. But then again, is there really no true feelings between him and the East Palace?

Yin Weiyin couldn't help but be suspicious. Physically, yes, but not entirely in his heart. If there were no real emotions, why would he observe mourning given his character?

He always yielded to kindness rather than toughness, Yin Weiyin couldn't envision such a scenario.

Women generally dislike unfaithful men, and Yin Weiyin is no exception. It's just that one should not rush things, but take it slow, as the saying goes, "Tao follows nature." When the time is ripe, then one should make a move.

In short, first test the waters, and when the moment is right, wield the sharp sword to cut off the love ties…

Yin Weiyin clapped her hands, making a firm decision, and before getting up, she reached her hand under the quilt to feel once more,

"Tsk… the hair is growing so evenly."

The female crown looked disgusted. If she were really Donggong Ruoshu, she might have felt ashamed of her own abilities…

However, one must remain cautious. Wasn't he quite friendly with Consort Dong as well? Yin Weiyin thought of this and grew wary again.

For safety's sake, Yin Weiyin secretly made a hand seal, but it was as though she was seeing nothing but clouds and fog, everything was shrouded, and the divination yielded no results. She thought for a moment, perhaps the Demon Refining Abyss was hindering the divination, so she performed a divination as Donggong Ruoshu.

Nine in the second place, behold the dragon in the field, favorable to see the great man.

Although the divination was a good omen, it was different from ordinary good signs. The so-called favorable to see the great man, like "Shun plowing in the fields, seen by Yao," implied encountering noble people and gaining opportunities. Yin Weiyin couldn't help but ponder, who would the great man indicated by the divination be?

On second thought, in such an eerie place, seeing the so-called "great man" might not even be a good thing.

"Are you up?" came Chen Yi's voice from outside the room.

"Coming," Yin Weiyin got up and tidied her appearance.

Not long after, Donggong Ruoshu slowly came out and sat down at the table, every movement revealing caution. Chen Yi, seeing that she didn't suddenly rise to kill anyone, felt a bit disappointed, quietly putting down the long blade on his thigh.

On the table were not the food and wine offered by Fairy Cai Xia, but rather the meals prepared by Chen Yi, broken naans, smoked meat with a mix of fat and lean, and some pickles. Those who wander the Jianghu often eat things like these, sometimes even worse. Yin Weiyin was full of disdain but pretended as if she hadn't seen such food before, cautiously eating them.

Chen Yi's face was calm, but he was secretly on guard. The real Donggong Ruoshu and Yin Tingxue were nowhere to be found, and beneath the gentle scenes of He Shen Kingdom lay a different kind of mystery. The unknown presence occupying the Immortal Body was a mystery, and now trapped in a dilemma, they had to personally explore many mysteries one by one.

Surrounded by enemies.

Chen Yi sighed quietly, secretly doing another calculation with his fingers, but the result was as before, the divination remained blurred, revealing nothing.

A knocking came from outside the room.

Chen Yi got up to open the door, and there stood Fairy Cai Xia. The latter glanced inside, saw Donggong Ruoshu eating with small bites, and directly laughed:

"You didn't eat our food, huh."

Chen Yi replied blandly, "Hmm."

"Why? Afraid it's poisoned, right? It's not! But I know you wouldn't believe me even if I said it." Fairy Cai Xia spoke very directly, which surprised Chen Yi a bit.

"You're surprised?"

"A bit." Chen Yi paused for a moment and asked, "Can you… tell? I've noticed you all seem very perceptive to people's hearts."

Since she was direct, he might as well ask directly. Covering and probing would only make one seem guilty.

Fairy Cai Xia wasn't angry at his words but said, "Do you know a story: There was a Chu person by the roadside, crying all day, 'I'm so miserable!', His friend saw and asked him, 'What are you miserable about?', but the Chu person wouldn't answer. The next day, he cried again by the roadside, 'I'm so miserable!', and his friend asked him the same question. Again, he didn't answer. This happened a third time, with the same questioning and no answer.

The fourth time, the Chu person was still crying, and his friend asked again, and the Chu person got angry, 'You've asked me thrice in three days, yet you don't inquire about my pain, what friendship is this? I'm now ashamed to have a friend like you!' So, he drew his sword and killed himself. The friend, feeling guilty, didn't last long either. This story was told to me by the Holy Emperor."

Chen Yi recalled and said, "I've never heard of it."

"Even if you haven't heard it, it's fine. People generally don't want others to know their thoughts, but they also don't want others to be entirely clueless. So it's enough to see a vague outline, and we can see just that vague outline." Fairy Cai Xia paused and said, "Heh, people here are like that, very perceptive of what people are thinking. There's a cloud of aura around people, which shows their emotions at a glance. There's a sound on people, which reveals their sorrows and joys when listened to."

Chen Yi seemed contemplative.

Fairy Cai Xia didn't wait for him to speak again, and after glancing at Donggong Ruoshu, she said, "After she finishes eating, you all come to the archway below. The Holy Emperor wishes to see you, it's been a long time since there have been any couples here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's eyes twitched slightly.
