3368 Afflicted By His Inner Demons
“Didn’t you say you were going to start your journey to the mountain summit in a few days? Do you plan to bring Hao’er along?” Wanyan Qianhua asked her.
“Mm, I feel more at ease having him by my side,” Feng Jiu replied.
“I think you should leave Hao’er to me while you’re away,” Wanyan Qianhua suggested. “He should be safe if I take him to the sect.”
“Blue Star Immortal Sect?” Feng Jiu shook her head, “It’s not safe there either. Some devilry cultivators are lurking nearby. I encountered them the last time I was there. I wonder if the sect’s people have rooted them out.”
“Really? Something like that happened?” Wanyan Qianhua was quite surprised. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she asked, “You just returned a few days ago. When did you go to the sect? Why didn’t I know about it?”
Feng Jiu chuckled sheepishly. “I didn’t stay long. I went there for a short time to talk to Si Que and the others about some things, and then I came back.”
“Oh.” Wanyan Qianhua nodded, but her eyes stayed on Feng Jiu. It was clear that she didn’t quite believe what she had said.
After discussing some issues with everyone in the hall, Feng Jiu and Wanyan Qianhua walked towards the rear courtyard. The two were chatting as they walked. Wanyan Qianhua sat down in the pavilion, rested her chin on one hand, looked at Feng Jiu and asked, “Did you go to the sect to find Jun Jueshang?”
“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you,” Feng Jiu said with a chuckle. “I was curious about what kind of person Jun Jueshang is. I never had the chance to meet him, so when you got drunk that night, I went to the sect. I wanted to find out what kind of man could make you fall in love, so…”
She smiled at Wanyan Qianhua and continued, “I did see him. I thought I would just take a look and then leave, but he discovered me. However, he seemed unwell.”
Wanyan Qianhua listened quietly at first, but when she heard this, she looked at Feng Jiu and asked, “Unwell? What do you mean?”
“He has inner demons. It seems like he’s being tortured by his inner demons. It was already late when I went, but he wasn’t sleeping, sitting there reading. He spent a long time on a single page, obviously distracted. By the way, the hem of my clothes fell off. When he didn’t meet me, I guess he thought I was you.”
Feng Jiu laughed, recalling Jun Jueshang’s expression at the time. She could tell what he was thinking. At least, after seeing him, she didn’t feel like he was indifferent to her sister.
Wanyan Qianhua seemed to be lost in thought as she listened quietly.
“Sister, as someone who has been in your situation, I think he loves you too, but he is just unaware of it,” Feng Jiu sighed as she looked at the dazed Wanyan Qianhua. “The man you fell in love with is not ordinary. He’s the sect master of the Insouciant Sect, a cultivator who is much older than you. There are too many obstacles in your way. It won’t be easy to overcome them.”
“I have no feelings for him anymore,” Wanyan Qianhua said coldly as she looked away.
When Feng Jiu heard this, she chuckled and said with a smile, “Yes, you have no feelings for him. He’s the one who falls in love with you, but he doesn’t know how to express it. Just ignore him and let him be afflicted by his inner demons. Who made him break your heart, right? ”
Wanyan Qianhua didn’t say anything and kept her face cold. But when she heard Feng Jiu say that Jun Jueshang was afflicted by his inner demons, her beautiful eyes flickered.
