Forsaken Immortals Chapter 247 - Not Him

Chapter 247 - Not Him

Many of the ordinary citizens assud that cultivators were above mortals, but the truth was that although their bodies and souls were stronger, cultivators still enjoyed the feeling of gossiping and searched for amusent.

The life of a cultivator was much longer than that of a mortal, and while they needed peace and quiet to refine and connect to the heaven and earth essence, sotis they also needed sothing to keep them entertained.

They had expected a great collision and display of anger to take place, but the people involved were clearly not on the sa page as the audience.

"Why are all of them looking at us like this?" Qin Huiling had been too focused on Bai Rouyun to pay attention to the expressions on the face of the other people present, but currently the audience seed deflated and depressed.

Bai Rouyun could feel the corners of her lips twitch as she wondered if she should tell the truth, but in the end, it might be a better idea to use this opportunity to dispel at least so of the rumors that were floating around.

"Do you rember what happened yesterday? The reason that I knew of the incident was due to your classmates stopping outside the gates of the institute and questioning about my true intention to befriend you. Fortunately we located you in ti and managed to avoid harm, but I assu that they all thought that our relationship would have deteriorated afterward."

Qin Huiling had been unaware of the truth behind the students that had stopped her friend, and she felt sowhat perplexed. Did these kids have nothing better to do than to cause havoc?

Shaking her head with a bit of resignation, Qin Huiling happily took Bai Rouyun’s hand.

"Let’s not worry about them!" she said, as she dragged her friend away from the crowd.

Dongfang Yu, who had been standing silently by the side, smiled wryly and slowly caught up with their pace as a silent guardian who was amused by their antics.

Everyone had been expecting a great showdown, but in the end they had been disappointed and even felt a bit cheated.

Those students who had stopped Bai Rouyun previously had all been indignant and painted an image of this young woman being ruthless and unlikeable. However, if she was truly this detestable, why would Qin Huiling still be her friend, even after such a thing happened?

Cultivators were all very talented, but they also had their own pride and arrogance. When looking at the behavior of Qin Huiling and Bai Rouyun, they all had their own thoughts, and many theories appeared in their minds.

It was no secret that Bai Rouyun was the wife of the Eternal Shadow Lord. Even if Qin Huiling held so unhappiness towards her, she would keep it bottled up inside as the benefits that this friendship could bring far exceeded the loss she would incur with the severance of their ties.

Others assud that since Qin Huiling had been saved and seed to be unhard, then that must have ant that she was grateful towards Bai Rouyun for coming to her rescue.

However, no matter what theories they all had, they understood that the two were not likely to start fighting in public, and that they would not be able to witness any intriguing drama.

Behind the crowd were a few girls standing with furrowed brows. These were the ones that had caused the drama; they were also Qin Huiling’s classmates who had previously confronted Bai Rouyun.

They had been convinced that they would be able to knock down a bit of Bai Rouyun’s prestige and reputation with this incident, but little did they know that they made her seem even more outstanding as she had succeeded in saving her friend.

They glanced at one another, but knew that if they were caught in the crowd, then the audience might turn their dislike towards them instead, so they slowly snuck away without anyone noticing and hurried to their classroom.

It was not only this group of girls which had been hiding at the back. A young boy was leaning against the wall that surrounded the institute, and a playful smile was adorning his handso face.

It was Jiang Wei who had been witnessing everything that had happened in front of him, but he still shook his head with amusent.

"Actually, I had not expected Li Moyun to have such great taste in won."

The previously silly and infatuated expression on his face was not present, but there was no hostility either.

His eyes were following the path that Bai Rouyun had walked before and his eyes narrowed as he rembered that both Qin Huiling and Dongfang Yu had followed her.

In fact, he did not like Dongfang Yu much, but since he was her subordinate, then he had to accept the other male. However, he was very eager to see how the future would turn out now that he had beco a person close to this interesting woman.

Jiang Wei sighed slightly as he raised his head and stared into the blue and cloudless neverending sky above.

"It has been a long ti since I last felt this tranquil."

There was a hint of lancholy within his voice as he slowly gathered his thoughts and straightened his back.

After that, he headed towards the headmaster’s office. Since he had taken an interest in this young woman and actually felt that she was very likeable, he was going to try and figure out more of her secrets.

To do that, it would be best if he could spend ti alongside her, but he could sense that she already had doubts about his identity, so it was a very dangerous gamble he was taking.

If she found out that he was actually not the real Jiang Wei who had sworn an oath to be loyal to the Eternal Shadow Palace, then all his plans would be ruined.
