Chapter 139: Seeking Refuge

“Greetings, Pavilion Master Feng.”At the entrance of Su Jingzhen’s courtyard, Feng Qingya and Mu Lao happened to encounter a maid.

The six maids of Su Jingzhen all recognized Feng Qingya.

Curiously, one asked, “Is Pavilion Master Feng here to see Master Su? For the past couple of days… master Su hasn’t been home.”

Hearing this, Feng Qingya raised an eyebrow but continued walking in without stopping.

“Not home? It’s alright, I’ll wait for him.”

The maid did not dare to stop her and allowed her to enter the courtyard.

Feng Qingya, familiar with the layout, walked straight to Su Jingzhen’s personal courtyard.

The maid following behind wanted to say something but didn’t dare to speak up or follow her in.

Although Su Jingzhen had instructed that no one was to enter this inner courtyard without his permission, Feng Qingya’s status made it impossible for the maids to refuse her.

Feng Qingya and Mu Lao sat down in the pavilion within the courtyard.

“It seems we really came at an inconvenient time.”

“We should have visited Sect Master Luo first.”

Sitting in the pavilion and looking at the closed doors, Feng Qingya let out another bitter smile.

It was an instinctive move to come here first.

Mu Lao nodded, “Although this is Master Su’s residence, it is still the territory of the Evil Moon Sect.”

Feng Qingya smiled, “Alright then, we should go pay our respects to the master of this place.”

She got up, preparing to visit Luo Yuebai.

There was a hint of helplessness in her words.

Not going to Fengma City made her feel somewhat like a stray dog.

However, before she could leave the courtyard, Su Jingzhen appeared from outside.

After not finding the black-clothed man earlier, Su Jingzhen felt relieved and cautiously took a different route down Clear Wind Mountain.

It wasn’t until he returned to the Evil Moon Sect that he felt completely at ease.

He hadn’t expected to see Feng Qingya at his residence upon his return.

“Miss Feng, what a rare guest.”

Su Jingzhen greeted Feng Qingya with a smile and then turned to the maid still standing outside the courtyard.

“Qiu Yue, why are you standing there? Go bring some tea.”

Hearing this, the maid quickly responded and left.

At this moment, Yan Xia also walked over. Seeing Feng Qingya chatting and laughing with Su Jingzhen, she couldn’t help but sigh again.

The two seemed so harmonious and oddly well-matched.

Meanwhile, she was still harboring unrealistic dreams.

At the founding celebration, Su Jingzhen had been the central figure in Linjiang City.

The more he shone, the more intense Yan Xia’s complex feelings grew. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After a glance, she retreated silently.

“Miss Feng, what brings you here today?”

Su Jingzhen was slightly curious.

Feng Qingya let out a bitter smile, “This time, I didn’t come to visit Master Su for fun.”

“I came to seek refuge.”

“What’s the meaning of this, Miss Feng?”

Su Jingzhen was genuinely taken aback.

Feng Qingya’s demeanor today seemed different from her usual self.

“It’s exactly as it sounds. I’d like to stay at Master Su’s place for a few days until you embark on the task I asked you to help with. I’m not joking.”

Feng Qingya’s words piqued Su Jingzhen’s curiosity further. As the head of the Linjiang City branch of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Feng Qingya was considered one of the most distinguished individuals in Linjiang City.

But before he could inquire more, Feng Qingya continued:

“You might find this hard to believe, Master Su, but it’s true. I am no longer the head of the Linjiang City branch of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. And I have nowhere else to go.”

Having decided to seek refuge with Su Jingzhen, she was prepared to divulge some truths. After all, in a few days, when Su Jingzhen helps her, he would learn everything about her situation.

Feng Qingya knew that being honest with certain people could yield unexpected results.

“Miss Feng… you…”

Su Jingzhen was stunned, finding it hard to believe.

Feng Qingya smiled again, “The Feng family is a large clan, naturally filled with countless internal struggles.”

“Now, with the Evil Moon Sect establishing a branch in Linjiang City, which is the first branch of the leading demonic sect in Qingzhou, Linjiang City, though small now, is destined for great potential. As such, how could I possibly continue to be in control?”

As she spoke, a trace of helplessness appeared on her face.

She knew that Su Jingzhen was a smart man. He would understand her plight with these words.

After a brief moment of silence, Su Jingzhen nodded.

When he initially decided to help Feng Qingya and engage in a transaction with her, he had already learned about some of her circumstances.

Given the ruthless nature of the cultivation world and the harsh treatment of those targeted within large clans, her current predicament was not surprising.

“So, Master Su, you would be willing to let me stay for a few days, right?”

Seeing Su Jingzhe’s silence, Feng Qingya was a little nervous.

At this time, she looked pitiful.

There was another reason she wanted to seek refuge with Su Jingzhen. His talent in alchemy was so remarkable that she couldn’t bear to let him go. By staying close, she could ensure her peace of mind.

If Su Jingzhen were to engage in transactions with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion during this period and Feng Mingyan discovered something, her lack of resources would put her at a disadvantage.

Hearing Feng Qingya’s request, Su Jingzhen immediately smiled and nodded.

“As long as Miss Feng doesn’t mind the humble abode, you are welcome to stay as long as you wish.”

Su Jingzhen believed that within his territory, Feng Qingya wouldn’t be as audacious as she had been on the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

As long as Feng Qingya didn’t deliberately try to seduce him or make things difficult for him, their coexistence should be pleasant.

It could be as beneficial as his previous interactions with Shuang Jiang, constantly gaining emotional connection points.

This was indeed a good thing.

…

While Feng Qingya and Su Jingzhe were talking happily.

Luo Yuebai also came after hearing the news.

Today, she wore a long black dress, looking as stunning as ever, with an added touch of nobility.

Her eyes, filled with joy, were fixed on Su Jingzhen, making it hard to conceal her happiness.

In Su Jingzhen’s puzzlement, golden letters suddenly floated before him.
