Chapter 1194 - 1194 1180 Entanglement

Chapter 1194: Chapter 1180: Entanglement Chapter 1194: Chapter 1180: Entanglement Jiang Shizi, wanting to make amends, hurriedly said, “He acted impulsively, but we should try to understand, after all, his face was disfigured, he almost succumbed to devilry, he just wanted revenge, and moreover, he has done many good deeds recently.”

“That still doesn’t justify his actions. Following Fang Ziren, with a large group of followers, he killed so many people. Is that forgivable? And Ren Xiongbei, sure, he’s not very likable, but to frame him and kill so many people, causing Ren Xiongbei’s death too… how can you say that man deserved to die, and his son as well?” Qing’er shook her head, drinking her water.

“It’s not yet proven that Ren Haotian was killed.”

“I’m pretty sure he’s dead. He was our childhood friend, and even though we didn’t get along later, he was still one of our own. How could he do something like this?” She couldn’t accept it.

“But it can’t be proven that the deaths of Ren Xiongbei and Ren Haotian were caused by Su Zhanze.”

“I think it was him. Ren Xiongbei revealed the truth and was about to come to our Demon Palace City. He simply silenced him forever; you don’t even need to open your eyes to see that.”

Yet Jiang Shizi said, “But Su Zhanze is fine now, he hasn’t done anything else bad.”

Guo Yuqing let out a cold laugh and said, “That doesn’t erase these actions, nor can we pretend they never happened. If he can do something like this, it shows he’s gone bad. Who knows when someone will anger him again and he will decide to kill them.”

“Don’t you think you’re being a bit harsh?”

“Harsh? Are his actions not severe enough?”

“Will you continue to be with him?” It seemed a redundant question, as the answer was clearly written on Qing’er’s face.

“I can’t. If he’s that kind of person, how can you expect me to stay with him?”

Jiang Shizi pressed her hand against her forehead, unsure of what to say.

“You don’t need to feel guilty; I should have known about these things. Sooner or later, I would have found out. I just hope that when the time comes, I’ll still have a chance to regret it.”

Luo Rui and Bi Chun cleared up the room.

Unconsciously, it was midday.

Luo Rui called out, “Ladies, how about we have hotpot tonight?” Bi Chun had suggested it earlier, saying Jiang Shizi wanted to eat hotpot.”

Guo Yuqing, still preoccupied with the troubling revelations, was interrupted by the other’s suggestion and turned back to ask, “Girl, hotpot?”

“Sure,” Jiang Shizi replied.

Guo Yuqing responded, “Mm, let’s have hotpot. Bring back lots of delicious things.”

Luo Rui and Bi Chun went off to prepare dinner.

Wanting to divert Qing’er from dwelling on the previous topic, Jiang Shizi said, “Yu Yun is leaving the Demon Palace City tomorrow; I should go see her tonight.”

Qing’er turned to her, nodding, “Sure, after dinner, I’ll accompany you over there.”

“I came here to see her and you. If she is leaving the Demon Palace City tomorrow, I must go see her. I also want to check on that boy.”

Qing’er continued drinking her tea.

“No matter what happens in the future, I can’t let Yu Yun just marry someone randomly. I see her as a sister, I can’t allow her to marry just anyone.” She tried to shift the topic to prevent Qing’er from sinking back into her contemplations.

Qing’er smiled faintly.

All of a sudden, Jiang Shizi stood up and said, “I think the hotpot will still take some time to get ready. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Demon Palace City, and with all the renovations, it’s changed quite a bit. Can you take me around to see?”

We can’t just sit here any longer, or this girl will go mad.

Qing’er got up, saying, “Alright, let’s go for a walk.”

At the entrance, they ran into Bi Chun, who was moving a hotpot stove. Seeing the two of them heading out, she asked, “Where are you two going?”

Jiang Shizi replied, “You guys continue preparing; we’re just going for a walk for one hour, then we’ll be back.”

The two of them walked straight out of the courtyard and headed outside.

It was twilight, and Demon Palace City, compared to a few months before, had changed a lot. There were no signs of the last great battle left. The Jade Lake was as clear as ever, and under the glow of the sunset, it looked even more enchanting.

They walked along the lake shore, moving forward as two water birds played.

Jiang Shizi, curious, asked, “Does Ye Chen know about your sister and Song Xizhi’s issue?”

Qing’er, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, answered, “I told Li Mo, and Li Mo told him. I heard he drank quite a bit.”

Jiang Shizi looked at Qing’er. She hadn’t been present at the event in Bell and Drum City, but she’d heard that it was Qing’er who brought Ye Chen back to his senses, “He has your sister in his heart.”

Qing’er exhaled deeply and said, “How could he not have my sister in his heart? They were planning to get everything settled and then be together, to live a good life.”

“Really?”

“Really, no one expected what happened afterwards.”

“But I heard it was you who brought Ye Chen back to consciousness.”

Knowing what Jiang Shizi meant by her words, Qing’er said, “He and I are a thing of the past, there can’t be anything else. What happened before can only be buried deep in my heart.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shizi felt even more regretful. If only she hadn’t brought up Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren today, things would have been so much better. She could have just acted as if she knew nothing and carried on with life as usual. Now, with this mess, she really didn’t know how to end it.

Qing’er continued, “Now, all I hope is that he can recover and come back soon. Otherwise, I really can’t hold on anymore.”

Seeing the troubled Qing’er, Jiang Shizi didn’t know what to say.

“Ye Chen agreed to be with your sister, didn’t he?”

“Yeah, that’s right. I found out from Wan Danrong.”

“Ah, why did this have to happen? Damn Longhun, such an evil curse.”

Qing’er stopped, gazing at the pink lake, lost in thought. She had intended to give Zhan Ze a chance and give herself one too, but she hadn’t expected Zhan Ze to be such a person. She no longer harbored any thoughts of being together with him.

“I never imagined things turning out this way,” murmured Jiang Shizi.

“Nobody would have expected that. I originally thought everything would be over very soon,” Qing’er said with a sigh.

“Don’t worry, Ye Chen has a kind heart. Maybe heaven will have mercy on him,” Jiang Shizi reassured her.

“Enough about that. You’ve come all this way; you’re not allowed to return so soon.”

Jiang Shizi giggled, “You won’t even let me go back.”

“That might not be certain. It’s not every day I get to see you; I have so much to talk to you about.” Suddenly, she remembered things from their childhood.

“Haha, are you planning to kidnap me to Demon Palace City?”

“Maybe,” she said, knowing she wouldn’t be able to go to Immortal City.

That’s because she would be leaving Demon Palace City the next morning.

Guo Yuyun organized a barbecue that night, prepared lots of delicious food, and would have invited Qing’er even if Jiang Shizi hadn’t come.

The arrival of Jiang Shizi made Guo Yuyun very happy.

She had truly become the bright, likable girl she once was.

Guo Yuyun was busy organizing the event, bustling with happiness.

For Qing’er, she didn’t know whether she should be happy. Without visiting, she wouldn’t have realized how much her sister had changed, and for the better.

Song Xizhi was assisting Guo Yuyun, bustling around energetically, looking very much like a couple. Luo Rui, who had just arrived, exclaimed, “They really do look like husband and wife.”

Guo Yuqing glanced at her and felt deeply emotional. She knew Song Xizhi was kind, honest, and very fond of Yun’er. She hadn’t thought of blessing him and her sister to be together, thinking Ye Chen would recover soon. However, to her surprise, the two of them had developed a relationship to this stage.

Suddenly, a strange thought crossed her mind. Her sister being with Song Xizhi wouldn’t be so bad. After talking with Jiang Shizi tonight, she knew she and Zhan Ze were impossible. If that were the case, could she possibly be with him? Thinking this made her feel ashamed, and she dared not continue the thought.

When Yun’er saw Jiang Shizi come in, she thought she was dreaming. She rushed over and said, “Wow, how come you’re in Demon Palace City?”

“I arrived tonight, especially to see you. I thought you were on the brink of death, ready to become a nun. Seeing you like this now, I’m relieved,” Jiang Shizi admitted with an envious smile.

Yun’er pouted her lips and immediately called over the busy Song Xizhi, and introduced him to Jiang Shizi straight away.

During the introduction, Jiang Shizi scrutinized Song Xizhi seriously, and nodded, “Yun’er is like a sister to me. Don’t you bully her, I won’t stand for it.”

Song Xizhi blushed and shrank back, then met Guo Yuqing again.

It was something to be happy about, but she also knew that if Ye Chen recovered one day, it would inevitably be a tormenting affair, unfair to the young man. But she couldn’t voice these concerns. What the future holds, who could tell? So for now, just let nature take its course.

“It’s been so long, and only now you come to see me, that’s hardly sisterly,” Guo Yuyun said.

“I wanted to come earlier, but there were too many things going on in Immortal City and I couldn’t get away. Otherwise, I would have come sooner. Seeing you like this today, I’m truly happy for you,” Jiang Shizi replied.

Guo Yuyun hugged her.

“I heard you’re leaving Demon Palace City tomorrow to meet your future father-in-law,” Jiang Shizi said.

“Nothing that soon. I’ve just been at home too long and wanted to get out, look around, and incidentally head to Nine Leaves City.”

Jiang Shizi nodded slightly, “You should. There’s no point in moping around at home. Getting out and about can really lift your spirits.”

That evening, after hearing what Qing’er had to say, Jiang Shizi came to understand the situation somewhat but still didn’t know what to say.

“Fortunately, you came a day early, otherwise you would have missed this.”

“Right, so I feel very fortunate. But what makes me happiest is that you’re getting better. I heard some distressing news a while ago. They said you were drinking every day like a drunkard, nearly getting yourself molested by others.”

Upon hearing this, Yun’er immediately recalled that incident. It was Song Xizhi who had saved her, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit shy.

“I heard that the great hero who saved you from the tiger’s jaws was none other than Song Xizhi, right?”

Yun’er nodded slightly.

“Good for you, young man,” Jiang Shizi gave him a pat.
