"Senior Brother Ling, you're finally out. I've been waiting for you for so long~"

Jiang Luoshui walked over enthusiastically, about to affectionately link arms with Ling Xuanxiao.

However, Ling Xuanxiao dodged her with a sidestep.

"Junior Sister Jiang? What do you need me for?"

Jiang Luoshui didn't seem embarrassed, her smile becoming even more radiant.

"It's nothing, can't I just look for Senior Brother Ling?"

Objectively speaking, Jiang Luoshui was indeed beautiful.

Her small face, like a perfectly carved piece of jade, was as exquisite as fine porcelain, delicate and smooth, as if a gentle touch would reveal the soft texture of tender, pure skin.

Her delicate features were perfectly placed on her small face. Her eyebrows, like distant mountains, were slightly curved, resembling two crescent moons.

Her large eyes were clear and bright, lively and full of spirit. Below her high-bridged nose was a cherry-like mouth that was naturally rosy.

She clasped her hands behind her back, leaning forward slightly.

"Senior Brother Ling~"

For anyone else, that single utterance would likely have them emptying their coffers.

Ling Xuanxiao's internal alarm bells went off. He wondered what this little drama queen was up to?

Could it be... could it be that she was here to avenge Murong Mo?

Jiang Luoshui deeply loved Murong Mo.

Knowing that Murong Mo was dead, she was deeply affected.

And then she began her revenge.

As for the target of her revenge...

Su Wan, himself, and others – anyone was a possibility.

One couldn't understand these love-addled individuals with normal logic.

In an instant, Ling Xuanxiao imagined countless possibilities.

The opponent's cultivation was weaker than his, but who knew if she had some magical artifact.

However, this possibility was very small.

And at this distance, even if she had a magical artifact, there wouldn't be enough time to use it.

Unless it was... poison.

That's right, poison!!

Ling Xuanxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression solemn. He held his breath.

His hands, hidden within his wide sleeves, also began to move cautiously and silently.

His fingers moved nimbly, like a swift little beast exploring something.

He successfully retrieved a Poison Barrier Talisman from his sleeve, which emitted a faint glow.

This Poison Barrier Talisman didn't look remarkable, but once activated, it could quickly form a temporary but incredibly strong defensive barrier within a three-zhang radius around him.

This barrier was specifically designed to counter all kinds of poisonous gases, effectively blocking lethal toxins and buying him precious time and a safe space.

"Junior Sister, what exactly do you need me for!" Ling Xuanxiao emphasized his tone.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to chat with you."

"Chat?"

She planned to attack him while they were chatting?

Ling Xuanxiao took half a step back.

"I want to have a meal with Senior Brother Ling," Jiang Luoshui blinked her beautiful eyes.

Poison him during the meal to avenge Murong Mo!!

Ling Xuanxiao subtly retreated another half step.

The snake's mouth in the green bamboo, the needle on the wasp's tail. Both are bearable, but the most poisonous is a woman's heart.

"Senior Brother Ling, Senior Brother Murong is gone, and I don't even have anyone to talk to."

So... she wanted him to go down and keep Murong Mo company!?

Ling Xuanxiao's eyes widened like copper bells, he was in a state of readiness, poised to strike at any moment.

Then, Jiang Luoshui whispered, "Senior Brother Ling, may I boldly ask, you and Senior Sister Su Wan..."

Ling Xuanxiao's inner thoughts: Is she suspecting that Senior Sister Su Wan and I conspired to kill Murong Mo?

Thinking about it, this logic is quite reasonable. Jiang Luoshui interfered in Murong Mo and Su Wan's relationship.

And then, in the eyes of outsiders, I stepped forward to defend Su Wan.

He had feelings for Su Wan, and even silently protected her from behind.

So, to punish Murong Mo, he and Su Wan joined forces to kill Murong Mo...

Ling Xuanxiao's imagination reached this point, and he became even more certain of what the other party was planning to do.

"You and Senior Sister Su Wan... don't have any special relationship, right?"

Can't find the book title, try searching for the author, maybe the name has changed!

Li Xuanxiao was stunned by these words, but he then answered firmly.

"No!"

"I see~" Jiang Luoshui smiled relaxedly, "That puts my mind at ease. I thought you liked Senior Sister Su Wan."

(O_o)??

Jiang Luoshui smiled slyly, "That would be too good. Senior Sister Su Wan told us that you've always liked her. It seems Senior Sister Su Wan misunderstood. Honestly, I need to explain this matter properly to everyone.

Otherwise, it will cause Senior Brother Li a lot of trouble. You don't like Senior Sister Su Wan at all, do you?

Oh my, I have to tell everyone. Senior Sister Su Wan, really, going around saying Senior Brother likes her.

Senior Sister Su Wan is so narcissistic. This must be very troubling for Senior Brother, isn't it?"

Li Xuanxiao: ...

"Senior Brother Li, I'll come find you again another day. We're all fellow disciples, so you can call me Luoshui from now on. It'll seem more intimate. Don't keep calling me Junior Sister Jiang~"

Very soon, Jiang Luoshui happily left Silver Sword Peak.

Leaving Li Xuanxiao standing there, looking completely bewildered.

Li Xuanxiao quickly analyzed the current situation.

It seemed Jiang Luoshui wasn't here to avenge Murong Mo.

Or rather, Jiang Luoshui had already forgotten about Murong Mo.

The reason she came to find him today was because she suspected Su Wan was interested in him...

And then she came to seduce him.

Li Xuanxiao frowned deeply.

Su Wan liked Murong Mo, so Jiang Luoshui went to seduce Murong Mo to anger Su Wan.

Now she suspects Su Wan likes him, so Jiang Luoshui came to seduce him to anger Su Wan.

Could it be that Jiang Luoshui actually has feelings for Su Wan!?

I think your true love is for Su Wan.

Murong Mo and I are just part of your game?

This world is too messed up!!

Li Xuanxiao decided to go back into seclusion for another half a month.

However, this matter was clearly not over.

After returning, Jiang Luoshui spread these embellished remarks.

"That's right! Senior Sister Su Wan is deluded!"

"Yes, she's clinging to Senior Brother Li."

"Exactly, Su Wan likes Senior Brother Li, but Senior Brother Li likes Junior Sister Luoshui."

"Oh! So that's how it is."

"No wonder Senior Sister Su Wan looks at Jiang Luoshui with such disdain."

"This is jealousy!"

These were the words of bystanders.

There were also the hardcore fans of Jiang Luoshui and Su Wan.

"Li Xuanxiao, get out!!"

"Li Xuanxiao, die."

"Li Xuanxiao is not worthy of Junior Sister Luoshui at all."

"Li Xuanxiao is not worthy of Senior Sister Su Wan!!"

"Who is this Li Xuanxiao? I want to challenge him to a duel."

"We're all Shushan disciples, why does he get to have women on both sides? It's unfair."

"Let's go find Li Xuanxiao."

"Don't let me see him."

"..."

At this very moment, Li Xuanxiao at Silver Sword Peak expressed:

I'm completely clueless.

I can't figure it out, not at all.

Where did things go wrong?

I heard the rumors outside have already spread to versions where Su Wan and I have a child, and another where I have a love child with Jiang Luoshui.

If I can't deal with it, can't I at least avoid it?

So, Li Xuanxiao decisively abandoned his thatched hut and temporarily moved to the back of Silver Sword Peak to hide.

He planned to wait until the storm passed and everyone had forgotten about this matter before leaving.

More than three months passed like this. Li Xuanxiao had been cultivating in the back of the mountain the entire time, and at the same time, he used the materials collected from his trip to Mount Wu Wang to strengthen the Scorpion Puppet.
