Chapter 598 Three Women

598 Three Women

After he returned from the inn, Li Jingyun first made sure that there were no other people around Leng Yueyan's residence area, and he released the gu insect in the bottle not far from his room after making sure that everything was safe. He smiled faintly, seeing the gu insect moving quickly into her room, and left the area.

Unfortunately, Li Jingyun didn't realize that two women were watching his actions; he couldn't sense it because one of them enveloped the other with her aura, and the difference in their cultivation was too great.

Soon, the gu insect was enveloped by a transparent aura before floating towards the hand of the woman, who was none other than Xiao Shijian. Having sensed Li Jingyun's killing intent towards Chen Li, she kept a close watch on him.

"I didn't expect that Li Jingyun would have a relationship with someone from the dark moon sect." Diao Hudie said with a heavy sigh as she watched Xiao Shijian destroy the gu insect.

Xiao Shijian shook her head at Diao Hudie. "Li Jingyun doesn't have a direct connection with the people from that sect, but his friend does, and he was the one who contacted them to help them control Leng Yueyan."

"A friend of Li Jingyun?"

"Hua Gaoyun is staying there now." Xiao Shijian answered as he pointed towards the inn. "The man who assisted him was Gu Tingyun, and he wanted to forcefully take Xue Xueyan home, but Leng Yueyan would definitely stop him. Unfortunately, Li Jingyun was too stupid, so he didn't realize their bad intentions. They would never hand her over to him, and they wanted to use her body as a cultivation furnace."

"How did you know the matter in such detail, Master?

"If you've lived as long as I have, you'll get used to everything." Xiao Shijian then looked up at the night sky before continuing to speak. "This realm is too small for me, and I can hear everyone's conversations, so I can easily find out everyone's evil plans in this realm and stop them. Unfortunately, my old friend still needs a lot of challenges, so I won't do anything to them, and I will only move if he is in a life-threatening situation."

"How long have you lived, Master?" With a curious look, Diao Hudie inquired.

Xiao Shijian turned to Diao Hudie before opening her palm; above it, an image of her past appeared. However, only she and darkness were in the picture. "I was born when this universe was still empty, and it has existed for billions of years, so you should be able to guess it, right?"

Diao Hudie's jaw dropped after she heard that, especially since she had previously seen Xiao Shijian's true form. She looked so young, flawlessly beautiful, and unrivaledly sexy, but she was the first living thing born in their universe.

"Do you know the meaning of my name?" Diao Hudie shook her head at Xiao Shijian. "My name means time, and my old friend gave me that name."

"What else?"

Both women's eyes widened immediately as they saw Gu Tingyun rapidly aging, but he didn't notice the changes in him, and he only felt so tired before closing his eyes. A few seconds later, he had already been reduced to dust and was carried away by the night wind, and Diao Hudie took a deep breath before speaking. "Master, your ability to control time is truly terrifying; he didn't even realize he was dead."

"You're right." Xiao Shijian replied with a nod of approval, but her expression immediately turned sad. "However, I don't like my abilities because they are a curse to me, which means I have to live forever like this, and I have witnessed too many deaths of people I know. Sometimes I wish I could live a normal life like you two, so I can die together with them, but sadly, it will never happen."

Diao Hudie and Ye Xiaoling couldn't say anything to comfort Xiao Shijian. Even though they hadn't lived as long as hers, they could understand her feelings about losing those close to her. Unfortunately, life and death are the fate of living beings, and no one can go against it, including cultivators.

"Anyway, let's go back to your room, and I want to create a gravity formation like my old friend wanted." Xiao Shijian said this to Diao Hudie before turning to Ye Xiaoling. "You can tell Leng Yueyan about this matter later and tell her not to do anything to Li Jingyun now. As for Hua Gaoyun, let my old friend take care of him after he settles his matters with Qin Li."

"Yes, Senior." After they disappeared from her sight, Ye Xiaoling went straight to Leng Yueyan's room, but she found she was too engrossed in her cultivation. 'Sigh. I've told her that she should remain alert even if she is inside this sect, especially since there are too many humans with two faces in this world. Luckily, Senior Shijian noticed Li Jingyun's actions, or else she would have fallen into their hands.'

Ye Xiaoling did not disturb Leng Yueyan and waited by the window for her to finish her cultivation, but her eyes continued to look towards Li Jingyun's residence. 'That guy is too greedy, and he always wants more authority, but I didn't expect that he would dare to do such a thing.'
