Chapter 196: He had been humiliated and bullied, and had almost lost his life.
The last sentence was said to Bai Junqing.
As they were talking, Ruan Jingze grabbed Bai Junqing's hand and started to leave.
He really didn't want to see his good brother dragged down by this woman. This damned woman coming to see Bai Junqing was definitely not up to anything good!
Those good things never come to mind for Junqing.
Cheng Shuyue could only think about Emperor Linghua and another man. Either she had gotten into some trouble, or it was about Donglongzhou and Moyuan Island.
That's why I thought of coming to find Bai Junqing.
It's blatantly obvious that they want Junqing to go and die.
Especially in the Dragon Mist Mountains, Bai Junqing almost lost his life there once. If he hadn't gone to great lengths to find the God Fusu to save him, Bai Junqing would have been dead.
Bai Junqing's gaze swept coldly over Cheng Shuyue, and he smiled, "From now on, even if you have any problems, don't come to me. I won't interfere in your affairs. Junior Uncle, since you're worried about her, why don't you marry Cheng Shuyue and become her Daoist partner as soon as possible? That way, you'll have peace of mind."
He left those words behind, grabbed Ruan Jingze, and turned to leave.
Cheng Shuyue was stunned when she saw this.
No, they left so quickly?
Cheng Shuyue stood there, stunned, watching the two figures disappear. A complex emotion welled up in her heart. She never expected Bai Junqing to turn away so decisively, and she never expected him to say such things.
Her face turned pale, her clenched fists trembled slightly as she tried to suppress the turmoil in her heart. Cheng Shuyue took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"Have you sensed his feelings for you? Shuyue, why don't you marry me? Let's get married as soon as possible and have a child that belongs to both of us, a daughter who looks just like you."
As he spoke, Emperor Linghua pulled her into his arms again, and then continued softly, "He hates you so much now, and you can't blame anyone else. It's just that you, Shuyue, are too much of a troublemaker. You've made him wish you were dead. If you hadn't harmed him like that, Bai Junqing wouldn't have treated you like this. So, you should stay by my side obediently from now on and stop provoking him."
His voice was low and gentle.
It seemed to possess an irresistible magic.
Cheng Shuyue felt extremely wronged. There was one thing that Emperor Linghua was right about: she had indeed done many wrong things in the past that hurt Bai Junqing, so it was no wonder that he treated her this way.
But she was really unwilling to give up.
Cheng Shuyue raised her head and looked into the deep affection in Emperor Linghua's eyes as he looked at her. She said softly, "I understand what you mean, but I don't want to give up like this. I want to make up for my mistakes, and I want to regain Senior Brother Junqing's trust."
Immediately, Emperor Linghua reached out and pinched Cheng Shuyue's face, chuckling, "Want to make amends now? It's too late, too late, you know? Bai Junqing will never lick your boots like a lapdog again. You'd better behave yourself. Didn't you hear Ruan Jingze's last words? If I'm not mistaken, Bai Junqing brought a little girl back."
!!!
Cheng Shuyue's heart tightened suddenly. Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief and shock. Bai Junqing brought a little girl back? How could he do that!
They clearly said before that they wouldn't bring anyone back.
Why are you bringing people back now?!
Cheng Shuyue's face was as pale as paper, and her lips trembled.
She felt as if she had been betrayed by her senior brother.
A bittersweet feeling welled up inside me.
Cheng Shuyue murmured softly, "No...it's impossible..."
She couldn't accept this fact.
How could Bai Junqing treat her like this!
Seeing her reaction, Emperor Linghua knew she couldn't handle it, and felt a wave of helplessness. He gently patted Cheng Shuyue's back and said softly, "Shuyue, just accept reality. Bai Junqing... is no longer the person who only revolved around you. And there's something else, don't you know best? If you treated her that way, Bai Junqing wouldn't treat you like this."
Tears welled up in her eyes, her heart filled with self-blame and regret. Emperor Linghua was right; she had indeed gone too far in her past actions towards Bai Junqing.
Cheng Shuyue's voice trembled: "I...I know I was wrong."
She looked up, her eyes filled with tears.
Seeing her so aggrieved, Emperor Linghua sighed, reached out to wipe away the tears from Cheng Shuyue's eyes, and said softly, "Shuyue, not everything can be made up for. Bai Junqing has already left your world, so let him go. You also need to learn to let go. I'm still by your side."
If I knew today, why bother?
At this moment, Bai Junqing brought Ruan Jingze back to Xuanbing Peak.
He did take him to his niece's room. Bai Junqing only knew that he was his niece's uncle and could not bring a man into a girl's room at will, as this concerned a girl's privacy.
Seeing his actions, Ruan Jingze didn't say anything.
Instead, he simply pulled up a chair and sat down.
As soon as I sat down, I picked up the teapot on the table and poured myself a cup of tea.
He also poured a cup for Bai Junqing.
He placed the teacup opposite him. Only then did he pick up his own teacup, take a small sip, and, thinking about what had just happened, Ruan Jingze's face was gloomy, and he felt even angrier.
"Junqing, you can't possibly still be hung up on Cheng Shuyue, can you? Don't forget how she treated you. If it weren't for her, your cultivation wouldn't have stopped here."
Then, Ruan Jingze began to mutter to himself, "She was the one who provoked me just now, and in the end I almost got killed by Emperor Linghua. By the way, Junqing, I still have to thank you for what happened earlier."
Bai Junqing pulled up a chair and sat down, picked up her teacup and took a sip. She looked up at Ruan Jingze with a helpless expression and chuckled, "I've long forgotten her. If it weren't for Master, I really wouldn't want to know her."
His face was full of melancholy, how could he not understand the meaning behind Ruan Jingze's words? He wasn't stupid, of course he could see what Ruan Jingze meant, he could only say that he was too foolish back then.
It's incredibly stupid that he was taken advantage of by Cheng Shuyue.
I almost lost my life, and looking back now...
I just feel that I was too naive back then.
They actually thought that sincerity could be reciprocated.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jingze breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Bai Junqing still harbored illusions about Cheng Shuyue.
"It's good to forget about it, it's good to forget about it. Look at you, aren't you doing just fine on your own now? You have God Fusu here, and you have us brothers here too. Why waste your feelings on Cheng Shuyue? No, wait, you still have your niece. In the future, you won't be single anymore, so you should also make plans for your niece, shouldn't you?"
Bai Junqing nodded to indicate that he understood. Hearing Ruan Jingze mention his niece, his usually cold and aloof eyes softened instantly. "You're right. I'm no longer Bai Junqing who's swayed by love. I just want to protect the people I should protect."
