I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

When Qu Jing took Lin Yi as her apprentice, she didn't know much about his situation. Guan Buping said he was fine, so she did a simple assessment.

Now that Lin Yi has brought so many people, she naturally needs to understand them well in order to determine who the mole is.

Lin Yi then began introducing them one by one, starting from his left.

"This is Xiao Se, my sworn brother."

Xiao Se cupped his hands to Qu Jing and said respectfully, "Greetings, Senior."

Lin Yi then introduced the next person: "This is my sworn sister, Xiaocao."

"senior."

Xiao Cao said timidly, still somewhat afraid of strangers, and appeared a little reserved.

Qu Jing nodded, thinking that the child was really well-behaved, but Lin Yi had a bit too many sworn brothers and sisters.

Next, Lin Yi introduced Wang Jinxuan.

Wang Jinxuan was quite special. After Lin Yi introduced her, she stood up, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Grandmaster."

Qu Jing: "..."

The daughter of the Demon King became her grand-disciple.

She wanted to stab her to death, but seeing how polite she was, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

But recalling the tragic death of her father and the destruction of her sect, Qu Jing turned her head away.

Lin Yi can accept disciples, but she doesn't acknowledge this grand-disciple.

Wang Jinxuan noticed that her master clearly disliked her, and she became a little nervous, wondering what she had done to upset him. She could only bow her head and dare not stand up straight.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yi understood why Qu Jing was not giving Wang Jinxuan face. At this point, Qu Jing had already shown him respect by not immediately expelling him from the sect, so Lin Yi didn't dare to ask for too much.

She could only quietly stand up and make Wang Jinxuan stand up straight, and finally introduced, "This is my wife, He Dong."

"You already have a wife?"

Qu Jing was shocked, and at the same time, she was furious.

Given his family background, why would he try to win her heart?

Could it be that he thinks she's a weak and easily bullied person?

Previously, Qu Jing hadn't looked into this matter, and Guan Buping, when writing letters, naturally wouldn't specifically mention Lin Yi's marriage, so Qu Jing never knew that Lin Yi had a wife.

Such a beautiful woman, already married, yet still saying so many affectionate things in public. Qu Jing was so angry her hands were shaking; this time she was truly furious.

It wasn't until Qianhuan Guiji obediently called her "Master" that Qu Jing snapped out of her shock and realized she had been a little out of line. Qu Jing quickly ate a couple of bites of noodles to calm herself down.

"I had no idea you married such a beautiful woman, and I couldn't even come to congratulate you."

Qu Jing said this almost through gritted teeth, as if she wanted to bite Lin Yi to death.

Lin Yi sensed the aura of a battleground, but remained completely calm.

How can I win over my master without some drastic measures?

Chapter 212 Qu Jing Gets Tricked

Qu Jing is a prime example of someone who says she doesn't care, but whose actions speak louder than words.

When she learned that Lin Yi already had a wife, and that his wife was so beautiful, she felt a tightness in her chest and a bittersweet feeling.

But Qu Jing was ultimately a dignified person. Even though she had a thousand feelings in her heart, she was only shocked at first, and then she became expressionless.

"Master, what's wrong? Is the fish soup not to your liking, or is something on your mind?"

Qu Jing was still angry, and hearing Lin Yi's concerned inquiry only made her angrier.

Don't you know what I've done wrong?

Do you really want me to expose what you did in front of so many people?

Qu Jing, who was already very angry, was on the verge of exploding, but she forcibly held back.

"It's alright, the fish soup is delicious and flavorful. It's just that I'm used to a simple life and can't enjoy such a delicacy."

I came here today because I was worried you'd gotten caught up in something, but it seems you're handling it with ease. Since that's the case, I won't bother you any longer. Farewell!

Qu Jing suddenly stood up, ready to leave.

Lin Yi quickly said, "Hey, Master, have some food before you go!"

Qu Jing didn't argue. She covered her face with her sleeve, picked up the bowl with one hand, and gulped down the fish soup.

The fish soup tastes excellent, but she can't taste it now; all she feels is bitterness.

They promised to kill the fish to nourish her body, but in the end, she only ate a bowl of soup from the pot.

Just like their relationship, ah!

From this day forward, she will pretend she has no disciple!

All that talk of lovebirds, intertwined branches, and being her first woman—it was all a lie!

"Goodbye."

Qu Jing put down the bowl, making a crisp "thud" on the wooden table, and then said coldly, "I'm finished eating, goodbye."

"Take care, Master. I'll see you off."

"No need."

Qu Jing took off on her sword and disappeared into the sky.

Lin Yi then said to everyone in the courtyard, "Master is angry for some reason. I'll go and see."

After saying that, he chased after the direction in which Qujing flew by on his sword.

The people in the courtyard looked at each other, wondering how they had offended Qu Jing. In any case, since entering the house, Qu Jing had only been kind to Xiao Cao; everyone else had been scrutinized by her.

Especially Wang Jinxuan. Qu Jing responded to everyone else's greetings, but Wang Jinxuan was ignored. At this moment, she couldn't help but ask weakly, "Does Grandmaster hate me?"

However, no one comforted her. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Se replied, "Probably."

Wang Jinxuan: "..."

Xiao Se was very straightforward, and Wang Jinxuan kept a straight face and didn't say anything, while he was thinking about what he had done to upset Qu Jing, since she had clearly been behaving very well.

Is Qu Jing unhappy because she caused trouble for Lin Yi?

"Haven't you noticed that their master-disciple relationship seems a bit off?"

The Thousand Illusions Ghost Princess spoke softly. She hadn't thought of this before, but He Dong couldn't help but mention it, which made her aware of it.

Because He Dong's perspective was limited, her attention was more focused. In addition, she was also quite jealous, so she paid more attention to the pretty girls who appeared next to Lin Yi.

With these factors in mind, she was naturally the first to notice the root cause of Qu Jing's strange behavior.

Her attitude changed after she heard that Lin Yi already had a wife. She had come in a huff, seemingly with something to do, but when she heard that Lin Yi had a wife, she stormed off.

He also said some sarcastic things, like he was used to a hard life and couldn't appreciate good food. It's obvious he was angry with someone!

Among those present, only Lin Yi was that familiar with her.

Why would a master get so angry over his disciple's marriage?

Clearly, something's off about this master! Perhaps something has already happened between them…

Thinking of this, He Dong's mood became even heavier.

Upon hearing this conclusion, the others had different thoughts. Xiao Se felt the same way as He Dong, both feeling quite heavy-hearted, while Wang Jinxuan was somewhat excited.

Since her master doesn't object to a close relationship between master and disciple, she's not entirely without a chance, right?

Regardless of what the people inside the courtyard were thinking, Lin Yi outside quickly caught up with Qu Jing.

He made no attempt to conceal his cultivation level, and his speed of movement naturally far surpassed that of Qu Jing.

Even if she ran several miles, Lin Yi could easily catch up.

Not only that, he calmly put on a mask and stood in front of Qu Jing.

Qu Jing quickly stopped, looked at Lin Yi in front of her, and said angrily, "Why are you stopping me?"

"I saw you were in a hurry, so I came to check on you. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just realized I mistook you for someone else. It's alright, so please move aside!"

Qu Jing clenched her fists, trying hard to control her emotions.

Lin Yi, however, was still flirting with death, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry to send me away? It's rare to see you, and I've been missing you terribly."

Hearing Lin Yi's sweet words at this moment, Qu Jing's anger could not be contained, and she retorted, "I think you should be a capable person, and you should have no shortage of beautiful women around you, so why bother to provoke me?"

I can't stand hypocrisy and being deceived. You should know what I mean, so stop pretending. Here's your jade pendant back; from this day forward, we're severing all ties.

Qu Jing took out the jade pendant Lin Yi had given her, but Lin Yi immediately refused, saying, "I've already given you the jade pendant. You can either lose it or I'm not taking it back. As for insincerity, what are you talking about..."

Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, Qu Jing, who was already angry, became even angrier when she saw him acting like a rogue again. Before he could finish speaking, she threw the jade pendant heavily to the ground, shattering it into pieces, with countless fragments flying out.

"You say you want to throw it away, then so be it. Don't bother me again, or don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword."

At this moment, Qu Jing also had the idea of ​​tearing off the mask of civility. Even if she exposed Lin Yi's identity, she would completely sever this relationship.

She wasn't angry that Lin Yi was married, but that he had said so many sweet words to her, even saying that she was his first woman and that they were destined to be a pair of lovebirds. How could someone who already had a wife say such things!

Utterly shameless!

If it weren't for those words, she wouldn't have resented Lin Yi in the slightest.

Seeing that she had broken the jade pendant, Lin Yi hurriedly went down to pick up the fragments and slowly searched for the scattered pieces.

Seeing this, Qu Jing felt a pang of pain in her heart, but for a sword cultivator, there was nothing that could not be cut down.

She hardened her heart and was about to turn and leave when she suddenly heard Lin Yi say, "I can stop bothering you in the future, but you say that my feelings for you are all fake. What makes you say that?"

If you want to leave, then leave. Why do you have to slander my sincere feelings for you?

"Now that things have come to this, do you still want to deny it?"

Qu Jing glared angrily at Lin Yi and said, "Who are you? Do you have a family? How many lies have you told me!"

Originally, Qu Jing didn't want to pursue the matter of Lin Yi concealing his identity too much, but now that things have piled up, they've all come to a head.
