Brother Yu, Save Me

The people of Qingyun Sect all changed expression when they saw Liu Ruyan like this.

Lin Jingfeng, who stood at the front, looked even more grim. Before setting out, Sect Master Leng Qianqiu had repeatedly warned him to protect Liu Ruyan well and not allow the slightest mishap.

Senior Disciple Sister Yan Ruyu's poison still needed Ye Yu's help to resolve.

At once, Lin Jingfeng's face turned cold as he strode toward the inn, radiating killing intent.

Seeing Lin Jingfeng arrive, those people consciously moved aside to clear a path.

Qingyun Sect's senior brother, Lin Jingfeng—how could they not recognize him?

"Who did this?! Do you really think Qingyun Sect is so easy to provoke?!" Lin Jingfeng stepped through the inn's doors and immediately demanded.

"Senior Brother, it was him!" Liu Ruyan followed him inside. Not seeing Zi Yun, she immediately pointed at Ye Yu, her face full of smug delight.

Feng Qing'er gazed at Lin Jingfeng with a lovestruck expression. Not only was his background formidable, but his talent was also exceptionally high. Rumor had it that he stood only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm. He was simply the most perfect Imperial Son-in-law in her heart.

Following the direction of Liu Ruyan's finger, Lin Jingfeng saw Ye Yu. His expression immediately changed, and he hurried over to ask, "You're Ye Yu, aren't you?"

Ye Yu looked at Lin Jingfeng strangely. This fellow did not seem to be here to stand up for Liu Ruyan? He then said, "I am."

"Wonderful! Brother Ye, I've been looking for you for so long." Lin Jingfeng's face lit up with wild joy. Why did Qingyun Sect indulge Liu Ruyan so much? Was it not all because of Ye Yu?

Seeing the hopeful look in Lin Jingfeng's eyes, Ye Yu finally understood and asked, "Is this because of Yan Ruyu?"

Lin Jingfeng nodded impatiently. "Yes. We were even thinking that if we couldn't find Brother Ye this time, we would ask Brother Ye's fiancée to take us to you."

"My fiancée? You mean her?" Ye Yu pointed at the dazed Liu Ruyan nearby.

Pointed at by Ye Yu, Liu Ruyan trembled all over, her face turning deathly pale in an instant. Only now did she remember why Qingyun Sect had accepted her in the first place—it was because she had claimed to be Ye Yu's fiancée!

"Yes, isn't that right?" Lin Jingfeng also caught on and asked.

Ye Yu smiled and shook his head, just about to speak, when Liu Ruyan suddenly rushed over. "What are you saying, Senior Brother Lin? Of course I'm Brother Yu's fiancée."

Seeing Liu Ruyan change her face so quickly, the sisters who had come to support her looked at one another in bewilderment, unable to make sense of the situation.

Under Lin Jingfeng's questioning gaze, Liu Ruyan leaned close to Ye Yu's ear and whispered, "Ye Yu, I forgive you. From this moment on, we'll restore our marriage pact."

After saying that, Liu Ruyan looked at Ye Yu with a pitiful, delicate expression. The old Ye Yu had always fallen for this. As long as Liu Ruyan pretended to be pitiful, Ye Yu would agree to anything she asked.

But this time, Liu Ruyan saw disgust in Ye Yu's eyes.

The next moment, spiritual power erupted around Ye Yu, directly blasting her away. He smiled. "She is certainly not my fiancée. I wonder where Fellow Daoist Lin heard such news."

Lin Jingfeng's expression darkened at those words. Turning to Liu Ruyan, he asked, "Have you been deceiving us all along?"

Under Lin Jingfeng's gaze, Liu Ruyan immediately felt her mouth go dry and her tongue stiffen. An inexplicable fear surged within her. She did not even dare imagine the consequences of deceiving Qingyun Sect, so she could only look to Feng Qing'er for help.

"This isn't Ruyan's fault. It's all because Ye Yu, that scumbag, cast aside the old for the new. Ruyan is a victim too!" Feng Qing'er hurriedly said.

Quite a few people came to their senses and immediately sneered. After being abandoned by someone, she was still rushing to claim she was his fiancée—did that make any sense?

Everyone also realized they had been played and looked coldly at Liu Ruyan.

Feeling everyone's stares, Liu Ruyan shuddered. Then she caught sight of the Autumn Water Sword in Qin Ruoxian's hand and hurriedly lunged forward to seize it. Facing Ye Yu, she said, "Didn't you say that whoever held the Autumn Water Sword was the person you loved most? The Autumn Water Sword is in my hand now, so I'm your fiancée!"

"Right, Ye Yu? Right?! Say something!"

Ye Yu gave the frenzied Liu Ruyan an indifferent glance. With a thought, the Autumn Water Sword immediately let out a hum, broke free from Liu Ruyan's grasp, and slowly descended beside Qin Ruoxian.

Qin Ruoxian smiled sweetly at the sight and put the Autumn Water Sword into her Ring of Holding.

"No! The Autumn Water Sword is mine! Give it back!" Liu Ruyan lunged forward like a madwoman, only to be kicked to the ground by Lin Jingfeng.

"My apologies, Brother Ye. We failed to get to the bottom of this matter." Lin Jingfeng said guiltily.

Feeling the cold, indifferent gazes of Qingyun Sect's disciples upon her, Liu Ruyan broke down. Before this, she had practically been held in the palms of everyone in Qingyun Sect.

It was precisely because of that that Liu Ruyan had gradually forgotten why she had entered Qingyun Sect.

Now, the enormous disparity left her utterly unable to accept reality.

Ye Yu gave Lin Jingfeng a deep look. There was no way Lin Jingfeng did not know about the rumors Liu Ruyan had spread about him.

Those lies were riddled with holes to begin with. It would be one thing if outsiders did not know, but Qingyun Sect's people could not possibly have been unaware. After all, Yan Ruyu had been present when the marriage pact was broken off.

Their reason for doing this was nothing more than deliberately letting Liu Ruyan make a huge scene. That way, regardless of whether what Liu Ruyan said was true or false, it would draw Ye Yu out. This was likely also why Yan Ruyu had brought Liu Ruyan back to Qingyun Sect.

Lin Jingfeng's scalp prickled beneath Ye Yu's stare, and he felt as though he had been seen through completely. He could only smile awkwardly.

"Enough. Since this matter has been resolved, you should leave. As for Yan Ruyu, we'll talk after this secret realm expedition is over," Ye Yu said.

Though Ye Yu disliked Qingyun Sect's methods, he hated the Devil Race even more, so helping Yan Ruyu was no great matter.

Hearing this, Lin Jingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and led Qingyun Sect's disciples away. Before leaving, he even removed the Qingyun Sect emblem from Liu Ruyan.

Their goal had already been achieved. A Chess Piece like this naturally no longer had any value.

Without Qingyun Sect's protection, Liu Ruyan was soon surrounded by the cultivators she had fooled so thoroughly.

Anyone would be unhappy after being used as a weapon! Especially when this person had nearly caused them to offend someone they absolutely should not have offended!

"N-No... Brother Yu, save me, Brother Yu!" Liu Ruyan cried.

At that moment, everyone stopped and looked toward Ye Yu.

Ye Yu glanced toward the entrance, then looked up at Situ Guang on the second floor. After seeing him nod, Ye Yu said, "Do whatever you want, but don't dirty my eyes."

At those words, several people immediately dragged Liu Ruyan outside.

What a joke. Setting aside Ye Yu's own combat strength, just Lin Jingfeng's attitude toward him was enough to tell them that Ye Yu was absolutely not someone they could afford to provoke. Not to mention there was a female demon upstairs!

"Stop!" After everyone dragged Liu Ruyan outside, a shout suddenly rang out.
