Chapter 124: 124. Ironclad relationship formed through late-night talks by candlelight.
Xuan Ling also came to Heavenly Sword Peak on business, just leaving Zhengkun Palace, and happened to run into Fang Zhou and Yu Qing.
Upon seeing each other, both Yu Qing and Xuan Ling subconsciously stopped their steps, while Fang Zhou continued walking forward cluelessly for a moment until he realized Yu Qing wasn’t following and stopped.
He ended up right between Yu Qing and Xuan Ling, forming a triangle with their positions.
When Xuan Ling emerged from Zhengkun Palace, a smile was on her face, but upon seeing Fang Zhou and Yu Qing walking side by side, her smile gradually stiffened and then faded away.
Xuan Ling hadn’t expected to see Fang Zhou there.
She had been contemplating how to find a pretext to go to Moon Viewing Peak these past few days, never anticipating that Yu Qing would beat her to it.
When Xuan Ling first met Fang Zhou in Yunshan City, she felt something very special towards him, a feeling she had never had towards any other man, hence leaving him her personal Jade Pendant.
Afterward, when Fang Zhou participated in the entry-level trials, Xuan Ling watched him throughout, her impression of him deepening gradually, her interest growing bit by bit.
Although it might not have been love at first sight for Xuan Ling towards Fang Zhou, she was certainly highly interested in him. Leaving the Jade Pendant was a clear proof, a declaration – I have my eyes on this person, none of you should even think about snatching him away.
Back in Yuxu Palace, Xuan Ling even warned Yu Qing, who solemnly swore she had no interest in romantic male-female relationships.
But what was she seeing now? Yu Qing and Fang Zhou walking closely side by side, chatting and laughing – this is what you called having no interest?
This hypocritical, shameless woman!
At that moment, Xuan Ling felt the anger of having something precious stolen from her.
Seeing Xuan Ling’s cold stare, Yu Qing maintained a mild expression, but her eyes betrayed a slight helplessness.
Yu Qing could swear she had no inappropriate thoughts about Fang Zhou, no romantic inclinations, just pure appreciation.
She definitely had no intention of stealing Xuan Ling’s beloved.
But she knew this junior sister too well, who was always somewhat prejudiced against her, not to mention now having witnessed the ‘evidence’; she definitely wouldn’t listen to any explanations.
She didn’t want their sisterly affection to be marred because of Fang Zhou.
This truly was an undeserved disaster.
Among the three, probably only Fang Zhou hadn’t realized what was happening yet, but he keenly sensed the atmosphere turning strange.
He looked back at Yu Qing and asked, confused, “Let’s go, why have you stopped?”
Yu Qing gave him a helpless look, not understanding whether Fang Zhou was just thick or intentionally behaving this way.
It was clear that the junior sister who gave you her Jade Pendant is right in front of you – why do you pretend not to see her and keep talking to me instead? Don’t drag me into your complicated relationship.
This, however, was completely misunderstood by Yu Qing.
For Fang Zhou, Xuan Ling was just a strange woman who tried to flirt with him in Yunshan City, one of the countless similar women he had encountered.
If he was entangled with emotions for every one of them, he would be utterly exhausted.
Therefore, Fang Zhou was completely unaware that the strange tension between Yu Qing and Xuan Ling was because of him.
Xuan Ling, watching them with a cold gaze, suddenly came forward, switching to a frivolous smile, and said to Fang Zhou, “I never expected to meet here again since our last encounter in Yunshan City, why haven’t you come to find me on Xuanjian Peak?”
Fang Zhou looked at her incredulously, thinking to himself, do I know you that well, beautiful lady?
But considering this woman dared to flirt with him publicly on the streets, her outgoing personality made it normal for her to speak like this.
Being on the other person’s turf, Fang Zhou dared not speak recklessly and could only politely respond, “I’ve been busy.”
Xuan Ling listened but wanted to sneer, you have no time to find me, yet you have time to search for my senior sister?
She did not expose Fang Zhou’s lame ‘excuse’, but glanced at the hesitant Yu Qing and asked, “Is your relationship with my senior sister very good?”
“Of course!”
Fang Zhou almost reached out to put his arm around Yu Qing’s shoulder, barely restraining himself: “We have a good relationship where we stay up all night chatting.”

“Stay up, night, chatting?”
Xuan Ling’s smile disappeared again, she practically spoke each of these four words distinctly.
She turned her head to look at Yu Qing, her gaze sharp as a knife.
Yu Qing was a bit panicky, unable to keep calm any longer, she hurriedly said, “No, there was no staying up all night, Taoist Fang is talking nonsense, junior sister, you misunderstood, it’s definitely not what you think.”
She explained to Xuan Ling the events of the past few days—it wasn’t her being opportunistic, it just happened coincidentally.
But after listening, Xuan Ling thought of something else.
You even know his last name, yet I know nothing, still claiming it wasn’t opportunistically?
And you call each other Taoist so affectionately, is the next step becoming Daoist partners?
Xuan Ling looked coldly at Yu Qing and laughed, “Senior sister, there’s no need to rush in explaining, I have my own eyes to judge the true nature of things.”
Fang Zhou also said from the side, “That’s right, why rush to explain, anyone can see that we two have a tight relationship.”
He also wanted to foster a good relationship with Yu Qing, this esteemed True Disciple, as having this strong support would reduce many obstacles in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Little did he expect Yu Qing to hurry in distancing herself, this was unacceptable.
Yu Qing glared at Fang Zhou with a look of disappointment as if to say, I’m explaining this for you, and you’re not helping, but instead adding fuel to the fire.
Fang Zhou fearlessly glared back, if you try to kick me aside, that’s unacceptable, this supportive leg of yours, I’m determined to hold on to.
Seeing these two daring to exchange such meaningful glances right in front of her, Xuan Ling felt utterly disregarded.
Her complexion worsened, making the atmosphere even more oppressive.
Seeing Xuan Ling’s displeased expression, Yu Qing hurriedly explained, “Junior sister, after so many years of affection, you wouldn’t mistrust your senior sister, right?”
Xuan Ling sneered back, “Senior sister, you still remember our many years of affection? Then did you forget what you promised me at Yuxu Palace?”
At that time, Yu Qing clearly stated she wouldn’t act against Fang Zhou.
Yu Qing gave a bitter smile, “Junior sister, you really misunderstood me.”
“Hmph, whether it’s a misunderstanding, I will judge for myself. You took my things, I will retrieve them by my own hands.”
Yu Qing had nothing to respond with, knowing that the misunderstanding had been formed, no more explanations would be heard by her junior sister, only time could prove everything now.
Seeing Yu Qing remain silent, Xuan Ling instead felt that her own assumption about Yu Qing’s pain was confirmed, and she grew even more irritated.
Xuan Ling turned to look at Fang Zhou, and suddenly raised her hand. Under Fang Zhou’s bewildered gaze, she straightened his somewhat messy collar.
“You too, since you took my things, you must bear the consequences. If you keep pretending to be foolish, I will not be polite to you.”
After speaking, Xuan Ling didn’t wait for Fang Zhou’s response and strode away.
Fang Zhou watched Xuan Ling’s departing figure, utterly confused.
Crazy, who took your things?
