Chapter 140: It’s Starting Again

“Eh? Why are there suddenly six points? Which one of them did it come from?”At this moment, Su Jingzhen was slightly puzzled.

Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai’s empathy levels were the same, and their cultivation levels were also identical.

Each time empathy points were triggered, it was only two points.

Moreover, Feng Qingya had been in the courtyard for a while without triggering anything.

It seemed unlikely that it was her.

Su Jingzhen’s gaze turned curiously towards Luo Yuebai.

Indeed, he saw a hint of lingering excitement on her face.

He was somewhat confused about what Luo Yuebai was excited about.

As Su Jingzhen pondered, Luo Yuebai’s emotions quickly disappeared from her face.

She then looked towards Feng Qingya beside her.

Despite being delighted by Su Jingzhen’s return, Luo Yuebai remembered that he was now the Chief Acolyte of their Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang branch, making him one of their own.

Given Feng Qingya’s sudden visit, Luo Yuebai, as the host, had to greet her.

“Manager Feng, what a rare guest.”

Saying this, Luo Yuebai walked over.

Sitting beside Feng Qingya, Luo Yuebai resumed her true form, showing intimacy as if they were close sisters.

“This time, Qingya has come to bother the Evil Moon Sect.”

“I might be a frequent visitor in the future…”

Her seeking refuge with Su Jingzhen also meant seeking refuge with Luo Yuebai.

Moreover, considering Feng Mingyan’s nature, he would soon announce to the entire Linjiang City that he was the current pavilion master of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion branch.

Eventually, everyone would know about it.

So, Luo Yuebai decided to be honest with her.

Upon hearing Feng Qingya’s words, Luo Yuebai raised her eyebrows slightly, showing some confusion.

She had been busy stabilizing the Evil Moon Sect and had not paid much attention to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, knowing nothing about Feng Qingya’s recent events.

Then Feng Qingya smiled at Luo Yuebai and said, “Does Master Luo remember the cooperation we reached in Cuiliu Alley at the Cuiliu School?”

Luo Yuebai nodded, “Of course, I remember.”

“What do you mean by bringing it up now, Manager Feng?”

Feng Qingya smiled bitterly, “I hope Master Luo remembers that it was I, Feng Qingya, who reached that cooperation with you, not the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuebai finally sensed something.

However, she didn’t ask further.

Feng Qingya continued, “Now, Qingya is no longer the pavilion master of the Linjiang City branch.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuebai’s beautiful eyes showed another trace of surprise.

She had guessed something had happened to Feng Qingya, but not this.

Before she could ask more, Feng Qingya, in front of both Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen, narrated the recent events at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, sharing what she could.

She needed help from these two, so she had to be completely honest.

In front of them, she could only be sincere.

After listening to Feng Qingya’s account, a smile appeared at the corner of Luo Yuebai’s mouth.

“I understand your concern, but rest assured,”

“Though I am a demonic cultivator, once we make a promise, we don’t easily go back on it.”

“Besides, even if you are no longer the pavilion master of Linjiang City, don’t you still hold the position of Fengma City’s pavilion master?”

“With that status, our Linjiang City Evil Moon Sect branch can continue to cooperate with Manager Feng.”

Luo Yuebai’s words were quite relaxed.

She understood that Feng Qingya had deep cooperation with Su Jingzhen, and because of this, she couldn’t possibly take advantage of Feng Qingya’s misfortune now.

Many of the things that Feng Qingya was worried about did not happen to her.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

For Feng Qingya, as long as the Evil Moon Sect didn’t fully ally with Feng Mingyan against her, that was enough.

Everything else, after all, still depends on what will happen seven days later.

So, the Evil Moon Sect wasn’t particularly crucial; the key was Su Jingzhen.

Luo Yuebai then laughed and said, “The Evil Moon Sect has no restrictions. Even if Manager Feng wants to join, there’s no problem.”

“As for lodging, you can stay as long as you like without any concern.”

“Thank you, Master Luo!”

“……”

In fact, Luo Yuebai came over mainly because of Su Jingzhen’s return.

During the conversation, she subtly checked Su Jingzhen, ensuring his energy was robust.

Then she found an excuse to leave without lingering in Su Jingzhen’s courtyard.

Since Su Jingzhen had returned, she needed to find the old man to confirm some matters quickly.

She had to prevent the events of the past two days from recurring.

This time, Su Jingzhen survived due to his own strength and a bit of luck.

If another elder tried to test him and was too heavy-handed, it could end tragically.

After Luo Yuebai left, Feng Qingya fully relaxed, her initial restraint gone.

She looked at Su Jingzhen with a bright smile.

“Master Su, your courtyard is spacious, but it seems there aren’t enough rooms?”

“Qingya and Elder Mu will be staying for four or five days.”

“Where do you plan to put us?”

“Or is Master Su’s bed wide enough?”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya’s charm intensified.

Elder Mu, who had been standing silently behind her, seemed used to this, remaining expressionless as if he were invisible.

Su Jingzhen’s mouth twitched again.

He hadn’t expected Feng Qingya to be so bold on his turf.

Yet, he felt helpless.

He wanted to assert himself, but while Feng Qingya could ignore Elder Mu, Su Jingzhen couldn’t disregard such a living person.

The witty retort he had prepared couldn’t be voiced.

He could only smile wryly, “Though my courtyard is not large, it’s easy to prepare two guest rooms.”

His eyes were clear as he spoke.

The more composed he appeared, the more curious Feng Qingya became about the question in her heart.

She wanted to know if Su Jingzhen truly avoided women or was just pretending.

Given that she had chosen Su Jingzhen for the event in seven days, she needed to understand him completely.

She suddenly turned to Elder Mu behind her, “Elder Mu, I’m perfectly safe here.”

“You should find a place to rest; you’ve been working hard lately.”

Elder Mu paused.

He knew his lady was hinting that he was in the way.

Nodding silently, he vanished from the courtyard without a word.
