Chapter 2688: Suspicion
Yan Xuehen’s face paled in horror. She'd thought that the demoness had only guessed the truth coincidentally, but who could have thought that even Jing Teng, who spent her days in the cave paradise, had figured it out too? Didn’t that mean the other ladies knew about it too? They're probably just keeping quiet about it out of respect for me.
She felt as if she had been plunged into an ice chamber. She reached for her sword to end her life once and for all.
Jing Teng eyed her sword and asked, “What are you doing? Even if you’re not on good terms with Yun Jianyue, you shouldn’t make a move against her while her soul isn’t around.”
“Ah?” Yan Xuehen was baffled.
“I knew I shouldn’t have told you that!” Jing Teng glared at Yan Xuehen as if the latter were a despicable rat who took advantage of other people’s weakness.
Yan Xuehen was bewildered. She noticed Jing Teng’s stockings turning black—it was the younger Jing Teng who was talking to her.
“You’ve misunderstood. I wasn’t going to make a move on Yun Jianyue.” Yan Xuehen knew the younger Jing Teng was eccentric like a demoness and didn’t want to provoke her.
Black Jing Teng smiled. “I knew you weren’t that kind of person. You wouldn’t resort to such underhanded means even when dealing with someone who stole your disciple’s man.”
Yan Xuehen was speechless. Aren’t I the one who stole my disciple’s man? Who are you referring to?
“I didn’t expect a lofty expert like Yun Jianyue to do something that despicable, but what’s more maddening is how Qiu Honglei let things slip despite it all. She continues to maintain close ties with her,” Black Jing Teng huffed.
