Upon hearing the sound, Wen Zhixing began to unhurriedly pick up his scattered clothes and dress. Soone was approaching, but there was no need to panic. The voice outside sounded sowhat familiar, but caught off guard by the suddenness, he hadn’t heard it very clearly.
"Who is it?" Hua Yourong casually swept up her black hair, secured it with a hairpin, and asked with a frown.
"Junior Sister Hua, I heard you were injured, so I ca to see you."
The voice outside sounded again. It was gentle and carried the charm of a mature woman.
This ti, Wen Zhixing recognized it. It sounds like Bai Luqiu.
Hearing this, Hua Yourong took out a small handkerchief embroidered with a peony to wipe herself down, readjusted her clothes, and locked all traces of the recent passion away within her dress. Then, with a wave of her hand, the seductive air in the room instantly dissipated.
Wen Zhixing also discreetly tidied up the ssy bedding.
Seeing this, Hua Yourong slowly opened the door.
CREAK.
The wooden door opened.
Outside, Bai Luqiu was dressed in a water-red chiffon gown, her hair adorned with a jade pin of the sa color, making her appear even more radiant and alluring.
"Senior Sister Bai." With a pale face, Hua Yourong greeted her.
Since Si Nanyan planned to infiltrate the Righteous Sun Sect, she had, of course, made preparations long ago. The Fortune Divine Devil Skill allowed her to access so of Hua Yourong’s mories. She naturally knew who Bai Luqiu was. Her relationship with Hua Yourong was quite good.
"Junior Sister Hua, are you okay..." Bai Luqiu had just begun to speak when she caught a glimpse of another figure in the room. Ah, Wang Shouzhen? What is he doing here?
Wen Zhixing also saw Bai Luqiu’s gaze but didn’t show much reaction. He stood up like a block of wood and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Senior Sister Bai."
"What is going on here..." Bai Luqiu looked surprised.
Just monts ago, she had received news of a disturbance in the Devil Sealing Cave. The disciples who went in for the trial this ti had suffered heavy casualties; even the leading inner sect disciples were injured. Fortunately, Elder Wu had intervened in ti, allowing the survivors to escape with their lives. As the chief disciple of the Law Enforcent Hall, Bai Luqiu naturally had to participate in the investigation. Learning that it involved her good friend Hua Yourong, she had rushed over without delay, only to find Wang Shouzhen here as well. She had been busy with so matters recently and hadn’t sought out Wang Shouzhen, yet here he was in Hua Yourong’s room.
"It’s nothing serious, just so internal injuries. I’ll be fine after so rest and recuperation." Hua Yourong coughed lightly, then said with a mournful expression, "This mission went awry; it’s my responsibility. Junior Brother Wang has been severely injured. I was just treating his wounds."
"Treating wounds?" Bai Luqiu glanced inside the room, her brow furrowing slightly. Two people, a man and a woman, alone behind closed doors... it inevitably sparks the imagination. This would only happen if they had a very close relationship, right? Then it dawned on her, a flash of understanding in her eyes. That’s right. Hua Yourong is an undercover agent in the Wonderous Palace, and Wang Shouzhen is a cultivation furnace from the Wonderous Palace. These two must have known each other for so ti. Could it be that sothing had already happened between them before?
"Yes. I’m sorry to have worried you, Senior Sister," Hua Yourong said, her face pale. This wasn’t an act; Wen Zhixing had indeed drained a lot of her Spiritual Qi.
COUGH, COUGH, COUGH. Wen Zhixing cooperated by coughing lightly a few tis. Feeling a surge of Blood Qi, he hurriedly circulated his energy to suppress it.
"I have so elixirs here that should help with your injuries." Although Bai Luqiu felt sothing was amiss, she still produced a bottle of elixir from her robes.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, but please give the elixir to Junior Brother Wang. It was my fault for not protecting them well." Hua Yourong’s expression showed both sha and remorse. Saying so, she turned and handed the elixir to Wen Zhixing.
Wen Zhixing accepted it without hesitation, thanking her as he did so.
"Senior Sister Bai, please co in and sit." Hua Yourong then warmly took Bai Luqiu’s arm. The two of them had always been on excellent terms.
"No, Junior Sister. You need to co with ." Bai Luqiu shook her head and subtly freed her wrist. With so many dead, she wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries with Hua Yourong. Even if they claid to be treating wounds, the situation still made her uncomfortable.
"Okay." Hua Yourong’s gaze flickered, and she nodded. As expected. Despite Elder Wu’s help in covering things up, I’m still a suspect. This is within my expectations.
"Senior Sister Bai, is there anything I need to do?" At that mont, Wen Zhixing spoke up. He had realized that Bai Luqiu was investigating the matter. Perhaps I can tell Bai Luqiu everything. Even if I don’t have evidence, she’ll surely find issues if she investigates. Especially those devil generals. Investigating any one of them would surely expose them. That way, Si Nanyan probably won’t be able to stay in the Righteous Sun Sect any longer. The crisis would be directly averted.
Just then, Hua Yourong seed to sense sothing and turned her head to look at Wen Zhixing. A glint flashed in her eyes.
Sothing’s wrong! Wen Zhixing was startled, then grunted.
The six devil seeds in his Sea of Sense began to rotate simultaneously once more, starting to contaminate his Sea of Sense again. His expression turned ferocious, and a flicker of black Devil Qi flashed in his eyes.
Wen Zhixing was suddenly alard; he’d almost forgotten about them. These devil seeds are still lying in wait, ever vigilant. Though I can drain the devil seeds and keep my Sea of Sense clear, I can’t eliminate them entirely. As long as these devil seeds exist, the hidden danger remains. Si Nanyan can control the devil seeds at any ti; ultimately, I am still under her control.
"Junior Brother Wang, are you alright?" Hua Yourong imdiately asked with concern. Just then, she had sensed a subtle disturbance from Wen Zhixing.
