Transmigrating into the world of Jade Dynasty, I was targeted by the female lead in a reverse romanc

Now, only the two of them are left.

The people from Dazhu Peak also set off, splitting into two groups. Tian Buyi led Song Daren, He Dazhi, and Du Bishu eastward, while Su Ru led Tian Ling'er, Zhang Xiaofan, and another disciple westward.

After walking a short distance, Tian Buyi glanced back to the west. Thick fog enveloped the area, and Su Ru and the others were long gone. His chubby face remained expressionless, but his brows were constantly furrowed.

Song Daren, being the most honest and simple-minded, didn't notice anything amiss. He Dazhi, being more perceptive, whispered, "Master, are you worried about Master's wife and the others?"

Tian Buyi snorted: "What are you worried about? Your master's wife is quite powerful, Ling'er is clever, and Xiao Fan is steady. Nothing will happen to her."

He paused, his voice lowering as if talking to himself, "I'm worried about... that girl Ling'er."

He Dazhi and Du Bishu exchanged a glance, neither daring to respond.

As his senior brothers, they could somewhat sense Ling'er's feelings for Xiao Chuan.

In the past, when Junior Brother Xiao Chuan was clueless, or rather, pretending to be stupid, everyone just thought it was childish play. But yesterday, when Junior Brother Xiao Chuan came back, Junior Sister Lu Xueqi acted like that…

"You can't force matters of the heart," Tian Buyi suddenly said, as if he were speaking to his apprentice, or perhaps to himself.

"That kid... who he has in his heart is his own business. Ling'er is stubborn and inflexible; she's probably going to suffer."

Song Daren scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Master, I think Junior Brother Xiaochuan is also very good to Junior Sister Ling'er. They've been good to each other since they were little."

"It's good, but it's not the kind of 'good' that Ling'er wants. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As their father, I can't control that much. Let's go and take a closer look. Don't let those brats from the Demonic Sect take advantage of the situation."

The group fell silent, held their breath, and carefully made their way through the thick fog and reefs.

Meanwhile, to the west, Su Ru led Tian Ling'er and the other two in silence.

Tian Ling'er kept her head down, not saying a word or looking where she was going. She almost tripped over a stone several times, and Zhang Xiaofan quietly helped her up each time. Su Ru saw this and felt sad, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Some hurdles you have to overcome on your own, especially in matters of the heart.

All she could do was keep a close eye on her daughter and prevent her from doing anything foolish.

Meanwhile, on the north side of Liubo Mountain.

Biyao stood on a high black reef, gazing at the area shrouded in thick fog to the south. The sea breeze made her light green dress cling tightly to her body, outlining her slender waist, and her long hair danced wildly in the wind.

Standing behind her, Youji whispered, "Miss, let's go back. The sect leader will worry. Besides, that's the stronghold of the righteous sects, full of experts. It's too dangerous."

"I'll just take a look; I won't go in. I'll just look around from the outside."

Youji remained silent; she knew she couldn't stop them.

"Aunt You," Biyao suddenly asked, her voice very soft, "what do you think... he's doing now? Is he... also with that Lu Xueqi?"

Youji did not answer; the answer was obvious.

Biyao bit her lip, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"I'll go take a look."

"Miss!" Yu Ji exclaimed urgently.

"I'll just take a look from afar!" Biyao turned to look at Youji, her eyes filled with barely suppressed pain and stubbornness.

"Just one look, to see if he's really... really with her. I'll be right back, I promise!"

Looking at her red eyes and slightly trembling body, Youji couldn't bring herself to refuse.

She knew Biyao well; if she didn't let her go, Biyao might do something even more risky.

"...I'll go with you." Yu Ji finally relented, but her tone was stern. "You can only stay on the outer perimeter; you must not go any deeper. If anything goes wrong, evacuate immediately."

"Okay!" Biyao's eyes lit up, and she nodded immediately.

The two concealed their presence, their figures moving like ghosts, and under the cover of the thick fog and reefs, they stealthily headed south.

They weren't entirely clear on the distribution of the main force's base, and could only roughly grope their way towards the mudflats where they had heard of the conflict during the day. The dense fog provided the best cover, but it also obstructed their vision.

Along the way, they avoided several scattered groups of righteous sect patrolling disciples.

Those disciples, whose cultivation levels were not high, did not notice anything amiss. Biyao's heart was pounding, filled with both anticipation and fear.

I long to see that figure, yet I'm also afraid to see him with someone else.

Finally, they approached a rocky beach that seemed to have been the site of a battle. The beach was deserted, with only craters blasted out by magical artifacts and scattered traces of blood, which had long since dried and turned black.

He wasn't there.

Biyao breathed a sigh of relief, but was immediately overwhelmed by even greater disappointment. Undeterred, she ventured deeper into the fog, which grew even thicker, making it nearly impossible to see anything more than three zhang away.

Suddenly, a faint whooshing sound and voices came from ahead.

Biyao and Youji immediately hid behind a huge reef.

It was a few Chaoyang Peak disciples passing by, complaining about the awful weather and the elusive demonic sect members.

"...I heard that Junior Brother Jiang from Dazhu Peak returned yesterday? And he even crippled Wild Dog Taoist with a single spear thrust?"

"Yes, I've heard about it too. It's incredible. It seems there's another adventure in the Abyss of the Dead."

"Tsk, he's lucky. But speaking of which, he and that Senior Sister Lu from Xiaozhu Peak... hehe, did you see that? This morning, Senior Sister Lu went to the entrance of Dazhu Peak herself to wait for him. The two of them went together."

"Who doesn't know that? They're a perfect match, a match made in heaven. I heard they met in the Abyss of the Dead..."

The group chatted and laughed as they walked away.

Behind the reef, Biyao's face was ashen, her fingers digging into the cold rock until they bled.

Youji looked at her with concern and reached out to pull her, but saw her suddenly turn around and stumble back the way she came.

"Miss!" Yu Ji hurriedly caught up.

Biyao ran very fast, as if a demon was chasing her.

Tears finally broke free and streamed down her face, scattered behind her by the sea breeze. She kept running until she reached a secluded, deserted rock. There, she leaned against the cold stone, bent over, and began to gag violently, but nothing came out. Only large tears fell onto the black rocks.

Youji caught up with her, supporting her trembling shoulders, feeling both heartache and helplessness: "Why are you doing this to yourself..."

Biyao raised her head, her face streaked with tears, but her eyes were frighteningly empty.

"I saw it...I heard it..." she murmured, her voice broken.

"A perfect match...a match made in heaven...haha...then what am I? What am I?!"

Youji gently pulled her into her arms and patted her back, just like when she was a child.

Biyao finally broke down, bursting into tears in her arms, her cries shattered by the sea breeze.

"Aunt You... my heart hurts so much... it hurts so much..."

Biyao cried in Youji's arms for a long time, her tears soaking Youji's clothes.

Finally, she slowly stopped crying, raised her head, her eyes were swollen like peaches, and there were still tear stains on her face, but the empty despair in her eyes was gradually replaced by something else.

"Aunt You," she said, her voice hoarse but unusually clear, "I'm not reconciled."

Youji looked at her without saying a word.

"Why?" Biyao gritted her teeth, enunciating each word clearly. "Why should I have to back out? Why are they considered a 'match made in heaven'? I stayed with him in the Dripping Blood Cave for so long. He changed my clothes, fed me medicine, listened to my stories that no one had ever heard before, and he even... he even cried for me."

She stood up, wiped away her tears, and looked at the sea to the south shrouded in thick fog.

"I won't give up like this. Even if he chooses Lu Xueqi, I want him to know that there is someone else waiting for him."

Youji looked at her, her eyes flashing with complex emotions, but she just held her tightly and didn't say a word.
