Chapter 8: This is what the graceful beauty gave to me!

Eye-catching Zong is currently going through a period of change, and being labeled as a spy is a huge accusation. If anyone is caught and proven guilty, they will be punished according to the rules of the sect. The punishment can range from being stripped of all their cultivation to being thrown into the Source Fire Land and sealed for forty-nine days. No one has ever come out alive from there.

Jun Muqian's eyes were cold, but her tone was calm. "I didn't know that Mu Qian was such a person in your eyes, Luoling Jun."

As if being pricked, Luoling Jun's pupils shrank sharply, and he unconsciously let go of her hand. He took a deep breath and said coldly, "Did I say something wrong? You were taken away by the Regent's Court and yet came back unscathed. Isn't it because you surrendered to the Tianqin Dynasty?"

At this point, Ye Wanying had already regained her composure. Her face was swollen, but she still insisted on speaking up. "Yes, Mu Shijie, how did you come back without a scratch?"

If anyone dared to hit her, they would have to die!

"Does Junior Sister want me to be injured?" Jun Muqian looked back with a smile that was not a smile. "That's right, after all, it was Junior Sister who told the other senior brothers and sisters that I wanted to use your identity."

She slowly rolled up her sleeves to reveal the horrifying scarlet scars. "Junior Sister, do you still remember?"

"All these scars were left by your admirers. I'm sure many people saw it, right?"

Having decided to come back, she had to be fully prepared. These were not real wounds but ones she made with medicinal herbs. There was no other way, the medicine from Qingmeiren was too good.

Luoling Jun was stunned, finding it hard to believe. "Yanying?"

Ye Wanying shuddered and suddenly looked up. "Mu Shijie, why do you have to use such despicable means to accuse me? Clearly, it was you who took my identity!"

Since they had torn their faces apart, they might as well do it thoroughly. Besides, Luoling Jun would only stand on her side.

"Then please tell me, Junior Sister, how a useless waste like me could have stolen your Blood Liuli Jade Pendant? And how did the Regent's Court mistake me for you?" Jun Muqian looked calmly at her. "And how did I take your identity? Can't even the sect master recognize his own daughter?"

The disciples of Eyecatching Zong were really idiots, unable to even notice such obvious loopholes.

Ye Wanying's lips turned pale. Under the scrutiny of everyone present, she felt a sense of shameful faintness. Not to mention the whispers of the other disciples that kept ringing in her ears.

"I think Muqian is right. With her cultivation, not to mention Junior Sister Wanying, even I could defeat her with one hand."

"Junior Brother makes a good point, but why did Junior Sister Wanying's Blood Liuli Jade Pendant end up on Muqian?"

"Didn't Muqian say that it was given to her by Junior Sister Wanying?"

"Could it really be that Junior Sister Wanying did it on purpose?"

Ye Wanying's body swayed and nearly collapsed.

It's over,...

"I am the best."

With a smug glance at the purple-clad girl, Jun Muqian spoke, "Muqian, you have three days to return the Blood Luminous Jade Pendant to Yinyin." Luo Lingjun's eyes turned icy as he said, "This is my final tolerance for you."

"Are you serious?" Jun Muqian was impatient. "Do you think you're Emperor Taizu? Who are you trying to impress?"

Even a little kid could see through her pretentious act.

Luo Lingjun tried to restrain his anger and said, "If you don't return it within three days, we'll see you at the Zongfa Hall!"

After a pause, his expression became more complex. "Also, I won't tell the elders and the master about what happened today. Do as you please, Muqian."

This statement made Ye Wanying feel stunned. She wanted to speak up, but she also knew that men could get annoyed if women meddled too much, so she kept her mouth shut.

"Uh-huh," Jun Muqian threw the pendant in her hand and smiled seductively. "So, can you two get lost now?"

It was ridiculous. This was clearly a small stone house where Jun Muqian lived, but Ye Wanying often took over it.

"You!" Luo Lingjun's eyelids twitched coldly. "Yinyin, let's go!"

"Wait for me, Brother Luo," Ye Wanying looked fiercely at the purple-clad girl and then followed after him with small, quick steps.

Both of them were walking quickly, as if they were avoiding something.

"The Zongfa Hall?" Jun Muqian grinned. "I would like to see that. But..."

Her eyes flashed coldly. "Luo Lingjun's attitude is a bit strange."

She clearly hated her, yet she still left some room for compromise. How contradictory.

"Hoo..." Jun Muqian exhaled a breath. "I still want to see what good thing Qingmeiren gave me."

She took out the jade bottle from her clothes and opened the stopper.

Immediately, a very fragrant smell drifted out of the bottle and filled her entire body. It smelled so good that all her pores opened.

"It smells good," Jun Muqian exclaimed. "Qingmeiren is so generous."

She tilted the jade bottle, ready to pour out its contents. But just then!

"Whoosh!" The jade bottle flew out of her hand, purposefully heading north.

"!" Someone was trying to steal her belongings!

If Qingmeiren knew that she hadn't taken care of it, she would never see his face again.

Jun Muqian didn't hesitate and went after the jade bottle.

To her surprise, the jade bottle flew for a full stick of incense's worth of time.

Fortunately, all the disciples of the Xingluo Sect were resting at this time, so no one saw the bizarre scene of someone chasing after a bottle.

After the jade bottle stopped flying, it fell with a soft clatter into a dense thicket.

Jun Muqian breathed a sigh of relief and walked over, but just then!

"Burp!"

A clear belch came from the air.

Jun Muqian was stunned for a second, then bent over.

But unexpectedly...

when she pushed aside the weeds, the jade bottle was nowhere to be found, and only a half-hollow silver ball-shaped object lay there.

Wait a minute, is this... a bell?

So the sound just now was because this bell ate the thing that Qingmeiren gave her?!

Jun Muqian picked up the silver bell and looked at it closely.

But before she could examine it carefully, the next second... she stepped into empty space!"
