Silence filled heaven and earth.
I am his?
His what?
His woman?
His lover?
His wife?
And who was he?
Countless gazes fell on Jing Jiu.
Rumors had long circulated in the Cultivation World that Lian Sanyue had secretly harbored feelings for True Person Jingyang back then. But no one could verify such a thing; they could only draw inferences from stories such as Lian Sanyue sweeping through Qingrong Peak, and Nan Wang, who claimed to hate True Person Jingyang most, crying all night...
While True Person Jingyang was alive, no one dared discuss it.
True Person Jingyang had left, and Lian Sanyue had disappeared too, but the Green Mountain Sect and Water-Moon Convent remained, so still no one dared discuss it.
Not until today, so many years later, had one of those involved personally said such a thing in the Imperial Palace Square, under the eyes of thousands.
