Chapter 285 - 280: Heroine and Demoness
"They’re here." Ye Qiu and Ji Nan hid in the dark. They had been waiting here for two days, carefully ensuring they weren’t discovered by the guards of Chongjian Manor, and finally, their target had arrived.
Leng Zhao Yue was dressed in a black outfit suitable for night travel, her figure lithe and agile, showing no signs of the severe injuries she had almost died from a month ago.
Now with Ye Chongtian and Lin Shuanghua not in the manor, Leng Zhao Yue made her way unobstructed to the detention room. She stood at the door hesitating, unsure of what expression to wear to face Yin Shaochen.
Perhaps at first, it was nothing but use, but after spending so much time together, Yin Shaochen’s passionate heart had already moved her. Yet, the Holy Sect had given her life and raised her from a young age; she couldn’t betray the Sect Hierarch.
Leng Zhao Yue’s eyes gradually became resolute. She would protect Shaochen. The Sect Hierarch only intended to borrow Chongjian Manor’s forces for a while; all would be well as long as Yin Tianhe, that old scoundrel, obediently complied.
"Creak!" Yin Shaochen woke up startled from his sleep, staring at the figure he knew all too well in disbelief. He pursed his lips and remained silent.
It was like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on Leng Zhao Yue, why was Shaochen looking at her with such unfamiliar eyes? Didn’t he love her anymore? Did he truly care about their identities?
What’s wrong with the Holy Sect? They are equally adored by the people in the Western Regions. It’s just that these Central Plains sects fear their own interests being encroached upon. Haven’t these hypocrites done things against heaven and harming nature?
A hundred years ago, these people had driven them out of the Holy Sect, and now they were merely coming to take back what belonged to them.
"Shaochen." Leng Zhao Yue stood at the door, her eyes trembling slightly.
Yin Shaochen lowered his head, his voice devoid of emotion: "What are you doing here?"
But seeing her safe and sound, his heart still let out a sigh of relief.
