Chapter 289.1: Early Sumr Snow
Cang JIan’s face turned white for an instant.
It was clear that Qing Yu’s words had touched a sore spot in his heart.
To Qing Luo Yan, he was rely a pawn that was to be used, and had never once won the slightest bit of sympathy from her.
Despite how he had done anything he could for her without a single word of complaint for so many years, he had never once gotten her to look at him straight in his eyes. But he had never harboured any second thoughts about it before, and that was because he truly admired her right from his heart, holding her dear inside.
Regardless of how ruthless and vicious she might seem in everybody else’s eyes, he was the only one who saw her lonely figure standing by herself under the night sky, looking so frail and helpless.
There were tis that he thought that all her ruthlessness was just her way of protecting herself, and he firmly believed that he was at the very least still different from others deep inside her heart.
But now, he was suddenly no longer sure.
When soone who was able to help her better appeared beside her, she had not hesitated in the slightest to abandon him, not thinking of all that he had done for her before at all.
To the extent that she would have him killed without even blinking if his presence ca to impede her way forward.
With that thought in mind, Cang Jian’s heart sank deeper and deeper into despair.
Qing Yu looked on with amusent at the man’s incessantly changing face before she went on to say with a soft laugh: “Looks like I do not need to say anything more as the Grand Priest’s mind has all cleared up!”
Cang Jian’s mind ca to be pulled back to reality gradually and he then looked at the young lady with a gloomy face. “Just..... Who are you really? I fear to think that Yue Fen had not actually captured you back here to the Divine Temple by force but you deliberately let him bring you here!”
Qing Yu’s eyes flashed with a glint as a corner of her mouth rose up slightly in a smirk, the smile on her face indiscernible.
“Moreover, the divine consciousness of the Scarlet Gold Fiery Phoenix that Yue Fen ntioned suddenly disappeared when you appeared. There has to be so mysterious link between you and the Scarlet Gold Fiery Phoenix.” Cang Jian said as he stared sharply at the young lady, his words incisive and clear.
“What strange things is the Grand Priest talking about again? I don’t know a thing about whatever phoenix you are talking about!” Qing Yu said with a shrug of her shoulders, the look on her face innocently puzzled.
Cang Jian scoffed disdainfully, knowing quite a bit of the young lady’s propensity to act innocent, and went on to disregard her innocent looking expression before he continued on to say: “If this was about so other matter, you might be able to bluff your way out of it. But it is not possible that you will not know anything about a spirit beast that has attained the super divine beast grade like the Scarlet Gold Fiery Phoenix.”
“In the Scarlet Gold Fiery Phoenix’s entire bloodline, no matter whether in terms of cultivation or intelligence, they have far surpassed that of most humans. They are wild and highly untamable, extrely protective only of its Master. Its noble blood and its Heavenly blessed abilities has made it grow to beco haughty and arrogant, never bowing its head to anyone but only to its Master.”
