“Junior Sister, if you’re unwilling, let’s not care so much and not act with them.”

Wang Mingyue immediately asked Jiang Wanlin.

“Wanwan, we’re all beginner disciples. We’re also from the same sect. Even if we have any grudges, we should be united outside.”

Mu Feng spoke up before Jiang Wanlin could speak.

“Fellow disciples who love each other should naturally be united. However, there’s no lack of blood feuds between fellow disciples who swear not to interact with each other. Therefore, there’s no need to listen to others’ instructions about how to do things and conduct themselves. Just do it according to our own wishes.”

Wang Mingyue hated Mu Feng’s tone. It was clearly a collaboration and no one owed each other anything. If they could negotiate, they would cooperate. If they couldn’t, forget it. However, after Mu Feng’s words, it sounded wrong not to cooperate. It made her unhappy.

Mu Feng frowned. This was how Wang Mingyue instigated his relationship with Jiang Wanlin. Jiang Wanlin, this idiot, actually believed her.

Jiang Wanlin looked at Wang Mingyue and smiled at her. Then, she said calmly, “Let’s cooperate. Let’s rely on our own abilities to pick the lotus.”

She wouldn’t like Mu Feng anymore. After a while, when she returned home, she must make things clear to her parents and cancel the engagement with Mu Feng.

Now that everyone was doing missions and there were Water Ghosts in the lake, it was safer for the runes to gather. She couldn’t be willful because of her grudge with Mu Feng. Apart from traveling together, they wouldn’t interact.

“Wanwan, it’s great that you can figure it out.”

Hearing Jiang Wanlin’s answer, Mu Feng heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a look of joy. He was about to speak again when Jiang Wanlin had already walked away quickly.

Wang Mingyue and Fang Lan naturally followed.

Mu Feng’s expression darkened.

Chen Lian said weakly, “Brother Mu Feng, Sister Jiang’s misunderstanding of you is getting deeper and deeper.”

“It’s okay. One day, she’ll regret it.”

Mu Feng’s expression darkened as he said calmly. If Jiang Wanlin wanted to break off the engagement with him, she would only become a laughing stock.

From now on, she would never be able to find someone as outstanding as him. This way, Jiang Wanlin would be laughed at for the rest of her life. Since this was her choice, let her be.

“Let’s go quickly. Otherwise, it won’t be good if we miss it again if Teacher says anything later. ”

Mu Feng’s expression softened as he said to Chen Lian.

Chen Lian nodded. She was really tired from running just now.

She was envious of the strong, but she was destined to only be able to look up to them forever. She had said countless times that she was envious of Jiang Wanlin, but it was not envy, it was jealousy.

The path of cultivation was too difficult. She could not even guide Qi into her body. Her body was heavy and stupid. She would never be able to learn Qinggong in her life. How could she not be jealous?

When Su Xiaolu brought them to Yanyu Lake, it was already dusk.

Su Xiaolu flew to the pavilion and sat leisurely to look at the scenery. She instructed the people below contentedly, “It’s still early. Go around and look for some hares or something. Come back and roast them for dinner. There’s a boat over there. We’ll take the boat to pick the lotus seeds at midnight.”

Wang Mingyue and the others accepted the order and left.

Mu Feng and Fang Lan went hunting while the girls went to find firewood.

Chen Lian wanted to speak a few times, but Wang Mingyue turned her head and ignored her. Chen Lian’s eyes quickly turned red.

She stood pitifully at the side.

When they brought the firewood together, Chen Lian didn’t have much in her hands. Wang Mingyue was immediately unhappy. “What can these two sticks do? Don’t put them with us. Although Teacher didn’t say anything, these things are better combined in front of Teacher.”

Chen Lian’s face turned pale. Wouldn’t that let Teacher see that she didn’t put in any effort?

Seeing that she was about to cry, Wang Mingyue and Jiang Wanlin tacitly turned around and walked away, ignoring her.

No one was watching the show, so Chen Lian naturally couldn’t pretend anymore. She stopped slacking off.

She found fewer than Jiang Wanlin and Wang Mingyue did, but after putting in the effort, she did not find much less. On the surface, it was not too ugly.

The sky gradually darkened. Fang Lan and Mu Feng had also returned from hunting.

Both of them obtained two hares and dealt with them by the lake before reporting.

Su Xiaolu looked at it and did not say anything. She let them roast it.

After eating the hares, they sat by the fire and waited for midnight.

Perhaps because they knew of such an accident, they felt that Yanyu Lake was especially cold at night.

Chen Lian leaned against Mu Feng tightly and looked around many times. There were several times when she subconsciously grabbed Mu Feng’s arm and quickly let go, stealing glances at Jiang Wanlin like a thief.

Su Xiaolu saw all these cheap shots and tricks. The more she looked at Chen Lian, the more she felt that she was like a mouse, hiding her head and tail.

It was soon midnight, and the lake was calm.

The blooming lotus flowers also looked sinister under the cold moonlight. Su Xiaolu watched from the shore as they fixed the two boats together and the runes on the boat into a circle.

The few of them rowed the boat to the center of the lake. Large patches of lotus seeds swayed gently on the surface of the lake.

Su Xiaolu was on the shore, watching them leave.

After they left, Su Xiaolu found an opportunity to go into the water. Actually, saying that she was the daughter of a minister was to give them some psychological pressure. Of course, they would also see some things and be affected by some psychic power, but she was the one who really resolved the matter.

She didn’t finish the story. The daughter of a minister was just one of them.

The things in the lake had already gained some momentum. She brought Jiang Wanlin and the others here because Little Niu had said that the death tribulation couldn’t be avoided. The earlier they tested it, the better. After all, it was a calamity, and it was Jiang Wanlin’s death tribulation to begin with. No matter what, they wouldn’t pass it easily.

Water-elemental marks were her ability. In Yanyu Lake, she could still control some of it, so she chose this place. However, she was not sure if Mu Feng would really make a move.

After all, in her opinion, the two of them weren’t married to begin with. It shouldn’t be to the extent of murder, right? Little Niu only smiled and didn’t say anything when she asked this question.

After entering the water, Su Xiaolu began to sense and search.

At this moment, Chen Lian, who was sitting on the boat, suddenly shouted in fear.

“Teacher, Teacher is missing. Teacher was still watching us just now. Why did she disappear all of a sudden?”

Chen Lian was extremely afraid and pressed herself against Mu Feng.

Mu Feng also hugged her gently to protect her.

Hearing Chen Lian’s exclamation, everyone looked at the shore not far away. The place where Su Xiaolu had sent them on the boat was empty. Everyone’s expressions turned solemn.

“Didn’t Teacher say that he would protect us? Why did she leave?”

Chen Lian’s voice was trembling and sobbing, and her words were filled with resentment.

Mu Feng frowned. He was thinking the same thing as Chen Lian. He was dissatisfied with Su Xiaolu now.

Jiang Wanlin rolled her eyes and said coldly, “Why are you making a fuss? Teacher Su has done several missions and brought everyone back intact every time. Even if there are accidents, it’s normal. You should have known when you entered the academy. If you don’t even have this bit of courage, why did you enter the academy?”

“Beautiful, well said.” Fang Lan clapped.

Jiang Wanlin’s expression was also calm. She was only surprised when Chen Lian exclaimed..
