At her words, Qin Ruoxian's eyes narrowed slightly. She scrutinized Ye Chengjun carefully before saying, "Master is right. Ye Chengjun is indeed very strong, and with the Ye family behind him, it's no wonder his reputation is so great."
Kong Yue nodded, but before she could say anything, Qin Ruoxian's next words drifted out softly. "A person like that... killing him really would be a little difficult."
As soon as Qin Ruoxian finished speaking, Kong Yue's expression changed drastically. "Ruoxian, you... what did you say? Don't do anything reckless."
"Hehe, Master, I was joking. How could I possibly do that?" Qin Ruoxian said with a smile.
Yet Kong Yue sensed a bone-chilling coldness in Qin Ruoxian's eyes. Could she truly be planning to... "Ruoxian, you mustn't act recklessly. Though Yaochi does not fear the Ye family, if you truly make a move against Ye Chengjun, it will inevitably trigger a great war. That would be no good thing for either side."
"You are now the Yaochi Saintess. You cannot do something foolish. You paid no small price to take control of Yaochi."
Qin Ruoxian nodded faintly at that. Yet she did not truly care much for Yaochi as it was. To her, taking control of Yaochi was only for Ye Yu's sake, nothing more.
At this moment, Lin Qingyue's gaze gradually became resolute as well. Ye Chengjun's current performance could only be described as terrifying. Perhaps Ye Chengjun could help her completely suppress the Heavenly Profound Ice Spirit Body.
But the fact that the four great families could not intermarry was unchangeable.
Since that was the case... perhaps cooperating with the Ye family was the best course for the Lin family.
Just as Lin Qingyue was thinking this, a cry of shock suddenly rose from below.
