Chapter 2108: Chapter 2108: She felt relieved as the High Priest was not present
Coming to steal? Obviously impossible.
“No, the direction she went was…”
Suddenly, when he saw the direction Xue Manyu was heading, his face darkened; wasn’t it the direction of Master Qian’s room? He had just seen Yuu Rong leading Sect Master Xue here, entering that very room.
“Has this woman gone mad? Can she really do such a thing?”
He was amazed. How had Sect Master Xue raised such a senseless daughter? It was utterly astonishing.
Even Leng Yiyu wouldn’t be this foolish, right? Knowing well that the other party is the spouse of High Priest Demon Heart, whom she shouldn’t covet, she still dares to act like this?
“Not mad, perhaps just desperately craving attention,” An Jiuyue sipped her tea and said calmly.
Leng Yikun: “…”
Craving attention so much that she throws herself into another’s husband’s arms?
It’s one thing for those men who have multiple wives and concubines, but Master Qian, he has eyes only for the High Priest. How could Xue Manyu think she could succeed?
“Yi Kun, you wanted to go out and wander a bit, right? Go and find out if there’s any place more austere than Reflection Cliff,” instructed An Jiuyue to Leng Yikun.
“Yes, High Priest, I will find out immediately.”
Leng Yikun obviously knew for whom this austere place was intended, and he was more than willing in his heart.
This type of woman, who throws herself at a man who already has a wife, deserves a proper punishment, doesn’t she? Otherwise, she can’t even tell up from down.
…
Xue Manyu had found out where Qian Jiyun was and headed straight for that room.
She also knew this courtyard, knowing it wasn’t a resting place but a small study with many books inside. She guessed that High Priest Demon Heart wouldn’t be there, only Master Qian would be alone.
As long as High Priest Demon Heart wasn’t there, she felt reassured.
With her beauty, she was sure to win Master Qian’s heart. Once she had served Master Qian well and had him completely under her control, even if High Priest Demon Heart opposed, it would be futile.
Thus, her face was filled with pride, and she strutted towards the room like a swan.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Qian Jiyun was sitting on the side, holding a book and only turning a page after quite a while, while Sect Master Xue stood on the side, carefully watching Qian Jiyun.
He didn’t understand why Qian Jiyun had called him over. What was it for?
If there was something to be handled, shouldn’t he have been instructed? Why just let him stand there, not even offering him a seat, not even speaking a word to him.
Was it because of Manyu’s issue, to give him the cold shoulder?
Surely not?
Manyu had already been punished, and she was meant to be sent to Reflection Cliff that very night. Wasn’t that punishment enough?
He felt uneasy and restless in his heart.
He had long heard that High Priest Demon Heart was ruthless and murderous, but he thought he seemed quite approachable, hoping this matter might just be overlooked.
Or had it not passed? Was this High Priest Demon Heart instructing Master Qian to summon him to express his dissatisfaction?
“Master Qian…”
He wanted to say something, but as soon as he spoke, he was met by the cold gaze of Qian Jiyun, so intimidating that he dared not utter another word.
He opened his mouth, but all the words were swallowed back into his stomach. He felt completely bewildered.
However, he soon understood.
Because not long after, very soft footsteps were heard, coming this way.
