Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 58 is truly generous.
"Please stop yelling, I really didn't mean it. I genuinely didn't know he was right behind me." Qin Shuyao started crying as she spoke. "If I had known, I would have preferred to die..."

"What are you doing? Are you taking advantage of the fact that my Qin family has no one to rely on?"

A male voice came from afar, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Shuyao was seen being protected by several people, namely Qin Songyu and his two companions.

Qin Zibin's eyes were particularly fierce.

"Father, brother, it's not their fault, it's your daughter's fault."

Qin Shuyao took two steps forward, her voice thick with nasal tone: "It's all my fault, but I really didn't mean to. If you're still not satisfied, I'm willing to let you do whatever you want with me."

Qin Zibin pulled Qin Shuyao behind him: "We've already apologized for our mistake, so it's not appropriate to keep pushing us."

Liu Sijun chuckled.

Qin Zibin frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

"According to what Qin Langjun said, we, the victims, should keep quiet. If we complain, it will be seen as aggressive, and you will become the pitiful victims."

Qin Zibin: "That's not what I meant."

"But that's exactly what you did!"

"I ask you, Qin father and son, you've just arrived, do you even know the reason for this? Yet you're already pointing fingers at us and acting so aggressively!"

Liu Sijun took a step forward with each word he spoke.

Under pressure from Liu Sijun, Qin Zibin began to move his feet backward.

Seeing that things were not going well, Qin Shuyao pulled Qin Zibin, who was about to speak, and walked out on her own, her eyes even redder than before.

“Miss Liu, my brother is only trying to protect his sister, please don’t blame him. I’ve already said it was my fault, and I’m willing to take full responsibility for your anger.”

"You don't need to take any responsibility."

"If we happen to meet again, please keep your distance, Miss Qin. We're afraid that even if we do a good deed, we'll be accused of being overly aggressive!"

"Yes."

Chu Yanming echoed, rolling his eyes at the Qin family members.

Qin Songyu's face darkened as he looked at Chu Yinghua, who was practically watching the show with his arms crossed, and said, "Brother Chu, in the end, this is a matter between our Chu family and the Qin family."

Chu Yinghua: "Jun'er is my niece, not someone else. What she said is exactly what I, Chu Yinghua, want to say."

Chu Yanming echoed again: "That's right, don't try to sow discord."

Qin Songyu: "I'm talking to your father. It's not good for young master Qin to interrupt so casually."

"Uncle Qin has quite the air about him."

Liu Sijun smiled faintly, "Anyone who didn't know better would think we were in the government office, with you as the prefect and us as criminals! We even need your permission to speak."

"you."

Qin Songyu thought to himself, "Is that what you mean?"
"Brother Liu, your daughter is truly quick-witted."

"Only when you can't win an argument will you try to change the subject and accuse me of being sharp-tongued. Uncle Qin, it was clearly your son who was the one who was sharp-tongued first!"

"Oh, and your daughter too. She keeps saying she didn't do it on purpose, looking all pitiful, making it seem like we're the ones who are bullying her when it was our turn to be the ones who suffered a loss. That's a really clever tactic!"

Qin Shuyao's neatly trimmed long fingernails dug into her flesh.

She bit her lip hard.

This trick had always worked in the past, but today it was pointed out mercilessly by Liu Sijun.

My dislike for her has only intensified.

Liu Sijun is too dazzling, both in terms of cultivation and appearance.

If she were allowed to return to Laiyang County unharmed, who among the people of Laiyang County would remember Qin Shuyao, the beloved daughter of the Qin family?

"Marquis Molin".

He's finally here.

Qin Shuyao was excited, but having already experienced Liu Sijun's fierceness, she dared not pretend to be weak anymore, lest she be ruthlessly exposed.

"There was a slight misunderstanding with Liu Sijun and the others earlier, but it has been cleared up now. Now I would like to ask the Marquis when we will set off back to Laiyang County?" Gu Changzhou's eyes swept over them one by one: "Everyone has arrived, so we will set off now."

It took them sixteen days to get here. Now, they're disagreeing on which way to return.

In the end, all eyes fell on Mo Linhou.

Mo Linhou then looked at Liu Sijun: "Which road do you think is safe?"

"I don't think any of the roads are safe."

Qin Shuyao: "What do you mean by that, Miss Liu?"

“Demons are easy to deal with, but the human heart is the hardest to guard against!” Liu Sijun smiled at Qin Shuyao. “Before we set off, my grandmother told me to keep this in mind at all times.”

Qin Shuyao pursed her lips: "Miss Liu's words have a hidden meaning. But what have I done to offend Miss Liu?"

"Never."

"Then why are you doing this?"

"I just don't like you, why are there so many whys?"

A sharp glint flashed in Qin Shuyao's lowered eyes.

She said slowly, "Of course, no one can please everyone, and I am no exception. But now the Marquis is asking which route to take back, which concerns the lives of all of us."

Unlike other training grounds, the Frozen Domain has an array that directly sends people out once they reach the end.

You need to return here on your own.

Although they had dealt with most of the demonic beasts on the way here, who knew if there might be even more powerful ones waiting for them.

"My lord, this is a very important matter, you should make the decision yourself," Liu Sijun said with a smile. "Otherwise, I can't bear the responsibility if something goes wrong!"

“Then let us return by the same route we came from.”

The Marquis chose the path he had already walked, and no one had a say in it.

Liu Sijun, however, felt quite pleased.

On the way back, Liu Sijun mostly talked to Chu Yanming or inquired about Chu Yanjing's injuries.

When it was time to rest at night, he generously took out two bottles of pills from his bag and gave them to Chu Yanjing.

"Cousin, keep these two bottles of pills. They will be effective for the injury on your back, especially this bottle of Shuluo Pill, which can treat damage to the meridians."

Her bottle was made by her master, and its therapeutic effects are top-notch. It will definitely heal Chu Yanjing's damaged meridians as quickly as possible.

Chu Yanjing smiled faintly and said, "Alright, thank you, cousin."

Chu Yanjing is nineteen years old this year, three months shy of twenty. He has a slender figure, and his eyebrows and eyes are gentle yet reveal a hint of determination.

He doesn't talk much, but he has a warm smile.

He was a very warm-looking young man.

Liu Sijun enjoys being around people like this; it makes people feel relaxed without even realizing it.

Gu Changzhou sat on a boulder not far away, watching as Liu Sijun took out the Divine Condensation Pill, which was being auctioned at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. A bottle of it could sell for thousands of high-grade crystals.

There is also the Shuluo Pill, an essential medicine for cultivators who have suffered injuries. A good Shuluo Pill is even more popular than the Shenning Pill, and countless cultivators flock to buy a bottle.

She is so generous.

The journey was smooth for the next few days.

With the pills given by Liu Sijun, Chu Yanjing's injuries healed quickly.

On the evening of the sixth day, after taking the Shuluo Pill, Chu Yanjing felt his meridians constantly expanding and contracting, and his dantian felt warm. He once again felt the opportunity to form his core.

Chu Yinghua was so happy she could hardly stop smiling, and immediately protected him so he could break through in peace.

The next day, at the moment the sun rose, Chu Yanjing completed the formation of his core, and not only that, it was a Purple Gold Core, a rare find in a hundred years.

Liu Sijun smiled and said, "Congratulations, cousin, on turning misfortune into good fortune."
