No!
That's impossible!
No one else had been around during my discussion with Senior Sister Rong Yue last night. How could this woman possibly know what we had discussed? Maybe she's trying to rile me up on purpose! That's right, she must be doing this on purpose.
Xue Ling took a deep breath and replied with mild irritation, "Lady Gu, what on earth are you talking about? I sincerely understand that I've done something wrong so I've come to confess my mistake. However, you would spew such venomous slander by accusing me of having some hidden agenda. What agenda would I possibly have?"
Her words carried a tone filled with indignance as if Gu Ruoyun had falsely accused her.
"Really?" Gu Ruoyun pinned Qianbei Ye's arm down and stopped him from reacting. Her face filled with a smile as she said, "That's just great. You can go and inform Rong Yue that we won't be disturbing the Charm Sect any longer as we plan on leaving today."
"What?"
Xue Ling was instantly shocked. She now truly understands Senior Sister Rong Yue's objective. If these people were to walk away, Ye Nuo would definitely follow them!
She could not let this happen!
"Lady Gu, it's not up to you to decide whether you should leave or not." Xue Ling sneered. She then turned towards Qianbei Ye and her voice softened, "Sir Qianbei, I know that you have great power. However, there are many spiritual beasts in this forest. Some spiritual beasts have reached the late-stage Martial Saint rank. There are even one or two who have surpassed that rank so you are no match for those spiritual beasts. However, if you journey with the Charm Sect, we can ensure your safety."
Qianbei Ye's gaze has darkened even more. He looked at Xue Ling as if he was looking at a dead person.
However, Xue Ling did not seem to notice the murderous intent in his heart and continued to flash what she thought was a beautiful smile.
"It seems that Wu Mei'er's fate has not made you more vigilant."
The man's eyes landed on Xue Ling and an eerily cold murderous intent appeared on his peerlessly beautiful face. He slowly rose from the bed while his long, silvery hair looked absolutely mesmerizing in the morning breeze.
Xue Ling could not turn away. Her eyes were fixed upon Qianbei Ye and she was nearly drooling. A sluggish look had appeared in her eyes.
If only such a beautiful man belonged to me, it would be so great!
Even if I could only have one night with him, my life would be complete.
Zing!
All she could do was to look at the beautiful, silver-haired man as he gently raised his hand...
Slam!
A sharp sword appeared out of nowhere and pierced through Xue Ling's chest in an instant. Fresh blood spurted from the wound, dyeing her robes a bloody red.
She widened her eyes in shock and stared at Qianbei Ye with disbelief as if she could not understand why this man would kill her without saying another word. Without any feelings of chivalry...
"I've said this once before, if the Charm Sect's members wish to provoke us, I don't mind making the entire Charm Sect disappear."
Xue Ling did not reply and only stared hatefully at Qianbei Ye.
"Xue Ling!"
Just then, a voice cried out from outside the tent.
The Charm Sect's disciple entered the tent which was now torn open and saw everything immediately. She screamed in shock and the entire Charm Sect quickly rushed over towards the tent.
"Bodyguard Gu, what happened?"
Ye Nuo's little body was trembling with fright as he stared at Gu Ruoyun with a puzzled look on his face. "Why had that fellow killed her?"
