Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!

Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Suddenly Look Back, Who is Waiting for You?

Du’s mother was the first to react, clutching Ling Xiaoxuan’s arm, and spoke nervously into the phone. "Mr. Ling, the children from both sides have always gotten along well, and they sympathized with each other. This marriage deal shouldn’t be canceled just like that. We are still in Cloud City. Let us discuss this after we return home, shall we?"

Her voice was filled with anxious anticipation.

Once the marriage between the two sides was called off, the Du Family’s status in Capital City would plummet.

Having tasted the benefits of being allied to the Ling Family, how could they let such a huge opportunity slip away.

"There’s no room for negotiation on this matter, I’m sorry. I’m busy with something right now, I need to hang up."

Master Ling was decisive and clear, indicating that there was no room for negotiation in cancelling this marriage proposal.

All of Ling Xiaoxuan’s bodyguards were assigned to her by Master Ling. After coming down Qi Mountain, the bodyguards relayed all the events of the previous night to their counterparts.

The bodyguards were oblivious about Lingfeng’s existence, and of Du Changheng’s previous life as a scholar, the entanglement between him, a princess, and Lingfeng.

However, the mere fact that he was engaged to the Ling Family but still managed to seduce and sleep with a female member of a supernatural exploration team, had already infringed upon the dignity of the aristocratic Ling Family.

Since Ling Xiaoxuan didn’t like and was resistant to this marriage, there was no room for discussion.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xiaoxuan glanced at Du Changheng who was lying on the only wooden bed in the room.

Her eyes revealed complicated feelings of disdain, and coldness.

She, Ling Xiaoxuan, didn’t in the slightest want to accept such a man.

Ignoring Du’s mother, Ling Xiaoxuan turned around and left the room.

The Ling family’s bodyguards quickly followed, shielding her from any trouble.

They were primarily responsible for Miss Ling’s safety, the life or death of others was not their concern.

Qin Ruan stood in the reception area corridor, her cold eyes gazing into the nothingness.

"Thank you for your help, miss."

Lingfeng, invisible to ordinary human eyes, was bowing respectfully towards Qin Ruan.

"You’ve already given me appropriate compensation, there’s no need to thank me." Qin Ruan crossed her arms, with a casual and lazy demeanor.

The compensation she mentioned was the handkerchief imbued with hundreds of years of resentment.

Lingfeng stood up, her clear, black eyes fixed on Qin Ruan, her face full of confusion and noticeable curiosity shining in her eyes.

She was very interested in Qin Ruan. Such a woman was one she had never seen before.

Not only for her striking beauty, but also for her mysterious abilities and decisive actions.

In response to her probing gaze, Qin Ruan nonchalantly laughed and asked, "Are you still planning to kill Du Changheng?"

Lingfeng furrowed her beautiful brows and lightly shook her head: "I don’t know."

If she violated the precept of killing, hundreds of years of her cultivation would be destroyed in an instant.

Like Qin Ruan said before, is all of this really worth it?

Lingfeng didn’t know, so she couldn’t make a decision.

Her lost demeanor invoked a cryptic chuckle from Qin Ruan.

Catching Ling Xiaoxuan exiting the room from the corner of her eye, Qin Ruan straightened her posture.

She turned around, gazing at the dense, deep forest of Qi Mountain, speaking softly, "Have you ever considered looking back while you were blinded by vengeance?"

Lingfeng wore a confused expression, following her gaze.

All she saw was the monotonous and boring scenery she had been used to for hundreds of years.

Qin Ruan sighed softly, "You’ve been chasing hate for hundreds of years, never looking back. You don’t realize that with each step you take, someone is desperately trying to catch up to you. Look back and you may find a special gain."

With that, Qin Ruan fell silent, picking up her backpack and walked towards the waiting Ling Xiaoxuan.

The Heavenly Dao must not be violated, revealing celestial secrets will shorten one’s lifespan.

The hints Qin Ruan dropped with her few words were already a great risk.

The subtle references were due to the sympathy she felt towards Lingfeng’s experiences.
