Chapter 154: 109, three women make a drama
Lin Qingque, with a stern face and arms crossed, silently watched Tian Liuli, who was sitting across from her.
"So, you saw it too. Since that's the case, why didn't you go over there sooner and catch him?"
"I don't seem to be obligated to do that, and weren't you also by his side at that time?"
The voices of the two girls were equally cold.
Differently, Lin Qingque's coldness was like the dew on the leaves in the mountain forests in the morning, clear and slightly cold.
Whereas Tian Liuli's voice was like dark jade ice crystals, thoroughly permeated with chill.
"Heh."
Lin Qingque scoffed coldly, "Didn't you see that I was entangled by a group of people at that time?"
"Being entangled by a group of weaklings is also your capability."
Tian Liuli glanced at her faintly, with a sneering expression.
"You?!"
Lin Qingque clenched her teeth, her expression one of humiliated anger.
"And you, not being entangled yet failing to catch him, you are also a weakling!"
"I had no intention of catching him."
When Tian Liuli was being stubborn, her expression remained indifferent and proud.
Sitting in the main seat, Jing Lixue watched the two quarreling with interest, her feathers slightly trembling, her face wearing a smile.
She was looking forward to it.
What expression Xu Yuan would have when he returned and saw this scene.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuan, completely unaware of all this, was walking with Liu Ruoxue on a street drenched by the night rain.

"You killed the Third Prince, but can this be explained to the Sword Sect?"
Xu Yuan felt the cool warmth in his hand, asking softly.
"Of course, don't worry."
Liu Ruoxue smiled slightly.
"No matter what, I'm now a candidate for the next Peak Master of Yin Peak, even though Si Shuang is my master's sword, it would not dare to harm me."
Xu Yuan's eyes shimmered slightly.
The purpose of his question, besides concern, was to understand what they would do after losing the Third Prince.
After all, the Sword Sect was one of the eight top-level human sects, and Xu Yuan had to take it into consideration.
However, for now, Liu Ruoxue seemed to have no new plans.
"That's good then."
As Xu Yuan nodded, he asked again, "Speaking of which, the last medicine I had you administer, did you manage to do that?"
"Hmm."
Liu Ruoxue nodded, her gaze somewhat evasive.
"However, Wind Butterfly was also present at that time, and to avoid arousing Si Shuang's suspicions, she accidentally consumed it as well."
"..."
Xu Yuan paused, quickly searched his memories, and soon figured out the corresponding information about Wind Butterfly.
He remembered her. He had met her during the tournament when he was impersonating Fang Yuan.
That girl, unconventional in her ways and using her sword to command people, still left a deep impression in his mind to this day.
"It's fine."
Xu Yuan waved his hand.
For him, this news wasn't bad.
"By the way, Si Shuang has also asked about you these past few days. Do you think you should go back for a visit?"
Liu Ruoxue gazed at him, her eyes filled with a bit of expectation.
"..."
Xu Yuan pretended to ponder for a moment.
Then, he shook his head, showing a helpless wry smile, "Sorry, but once this matter is settled, there will probably be many opportunities."
Liu Ruoxue stared at him for a while before a trace of hard-to-read emotion flickered through her calm and beautiful eyes.
She hummed in agreement, looking towards the distant streets at Princess Luoyang's Mansion, and said, "Should I head back then?"
"Yeah, better not to act separately from Si Shuang next time. The city is very chaotic now."
Xu Yuan nodded.
However, Liu Ruoxue did not seem to want to let go, just standing still, quietly watching him.
Xu Yuan understood her intention, slightly leaned forward, and kissed her forehead lightly.
Liu Ruoxue shook her head, her face slightly red, but she did not speak.
Xu Yuan inwardly sighed, then lightly kissed her lips.
A shallow kiss like a dragonfly touching water quickly turned into a deep kiss amid Liu Ruoxue's eagerness as she tiptoed.
What neither of them noticed was that in the street corner, a tall figure was watching this scene in dismay.
"This, this... what is going on here?"
Liu Ruoxue's fiancé, Zhen Dan from Yang Peak of Sword Sect, gaped, watching the unbelievable scene before him.
Fortunately, Xu Yuan had been cautious. Near the Sword Sect, he feared being recognized and had used the Illusory Realm to change into Fang Yuan's appearance.
Otherwise, the situation would probably be much worse.
As it was, even though he had been caught, it hadn't reached the worst step yet.
Still, even so...
Zhen Dan still looked pale, his lips trembling, hardly believing his eyes.
"Wasn't Fang Yuan supposed to be on a secret mission? How could she be here, and moreover, holding Ruoxue in her arms? They were even kissing in the middle of the street?"
This sudden revelation almost made Zhen Dan collapse.
No matter what, he could not imagine things turning out like this.
"How, how is this possible?"
Seeing the two seemingly about to separate, Zhen Dan, not knowing what he was thinking, subconsciously dodged away.
"Why would this happen?"
But he still couldn't accept it.
The one he liked, turning out to be someone else, how could he accept that?
Yet... he lacked the courage to step forward and expose the duo.
Normally, upon discovering such a thing, one would angrily storm out, accuse Liu Ruoxue of impropriety, then write a letter of divorce and slap it onto her face.
Yet, he himself...
Zhen Dan painfully hugged his head, crouching down, unable to help shaking his head: "No, I can't let her know I know about this."
