e covered in a layer of January frost. Rage twisted his features into a chilling smile, and his voice, icy and sharp as shards of glass, came out in a strained whisper, "You vile creature, you dare!"..."Jun Liye How could he be at Princess Zhao Ruqing's residence" Zhao Tianyu rubbed his eyes hard, making sure he wasn't seeing things.

Days of accumulated longing, like a river that had burst its banks, surged madly into her chest in an instant. Su Qingying's eyes welled up with tears, and she thrust the ancient Gu Yueqin in her arms into Zhao Tianyu's hands. "Tianyu, hold Gu Yueqin for me."

“Ari! Where the heck have you been these past few days You didn't even give me a single message, do you know how worried I was! I really missed you so much!” Su Qingying’s eyes were brimming with tears as she rushed forward and tightly hugged his slender waist, burying her small head into his chest, rubbing it fondly.

Listening to his powerful heartbeat, she felt a strange sense of peace in her heart.

"Who are you Why are you hugging me" She lowered her eyes, staring at the woman in blue who kept burying herself in her arms. Jun Liye's gaze flickered, a pair of blood-red eyes flashing with obvious confusion, her voice cold and distant.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying's whole body trembled, her eyes widened in surprise, and she slightly loosened her grip on his waist. She raised her head and said with a defiant expression, "What are you talking about Are you crazy This is not funny at all."

"Let go!" Jun Liye frowned faintly, his voice as clear as ice.

"What did you say" Hearing his voice, devoid of its usual tenderness and affection, Su Qingying trembled, nearly losing her balance. A feeling of fear, uncontrollable and overwhelming, swept through her entire body.

“Let go, I don’t know you. If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being rude!” The sharp voice seemed to come from an ice cellar. Jun Li Ye’s blood-red narrow eyes were cold and indifferent. At that moment, Su Qingying felt like she had returned to the first time she met him—ruthless, domineering, and aloof, with not a trace of warmth left on his body.

A wave of intense panic surged through her. Su Qingying, flustered, reached out to grab his sleeve with both hands. Her star-bright phoenix eyes blinked nervously as she stammered, "Ah, Ari What's wrong with you Don't scare me."

Jun Li turned his brows, remaining silent. His gaze fell faintly on her hand clutching his sleeve. The coldness in his blood-red eyes almost made Su Qingying feel like he wanted to chop off her own hand!

Zhao Tianyu, in order not to be a third wheel, stood far away and didn't hear their conversation. He was helping them keep watch when he suddenly saw Zhao Ruqing walking slowly towards them.

His face changed, and he quickly hugged Gu Yueqin and rushed to Su Qingying's side, interrupting their reunion in a low voice, "Not good, Zhao Ruqing is coming this way! Qingying, let's withdraw first!"

"Ari, Ari, come with me, okay" Ignoring Zhao Tianyu, Su Qingying clutched his sleeve tightly and pleaded.

Ari appeared here out of nowhere. It was too strange, and she had even forgotten about her. No matter what, she couldn't let her stay here any longer.

Zhao Ruqing is an expert in gu arts, who knows what she did to Ari!

Jun Li stared at her silently, his eyes cold and fathomless.

"It's too late! Run!" Seeing Zhao Ruqing getting closer and closer, Su Qingying refused to leave with him. Zhao Tianyu was anxious and desperate. He had no choice but to directly press a point on her acupoint, then hurriedly hugged her and hid in the shadows. Before leaving, he cast a deep glance at Jun Liye.

Illusion Just now, there seemed to be a flash of killing intent in his eyes. But why...what on earth is going on

Having been acupressured, Su Qingying was unable to move or speak. She could only watch helplessly as Zhao Ruqing in white gradually approached Jun Liye, a surge of murderous intent churning within her heart.

"Brother Ye, it's getting late and the wind is cold. Why are you still sitting here" Zhao Ruqing walked to Jun Liye with a rosy face and spring-like eyes, staring at him lovingly.

Looking at her sickeningly lovestruck expression, Su Qingying was so angry her heart ached. She desperately wanted to jump down and slap her several times, gouge out her eyeballs!

Grandma's hammer! She dares to hit on her man!

"Hmm..." a soft moan escaped her lips, Jun Li Ye reached out to cover her forehead, the handsome face with a faint trace of pain.

"But then your head started hurting again" Zhao Ruqing said anxiously, her heart filled with a pang of guilt.

When she first captured him, she gave him a poison that locked away his memories. She waited until he completely forgot about his past before telling him that she was his lover.

But she hadn't expected Jun Liye to resist her poison so stubbornly, constantly fighting against it. This also caused him to suffer excruciating headaches every once in a while.

"Qing'er, don't worry, it's just an old ailment." The headache only lasted for a moment, and the aura of coldness that surrounded Jun Liye softened instantly.

Su Qingying's silver teeth bit her lip, her heart extremely displeased.

You bastard, Jun Li Ye! I don't even know you, but you dare to look at other women like that!

"Are you really sure" Zhao Ruqing was still not convinced.

Shaking her head, Jun Liye suddenly took off the outer robe she was wearing and gently draped it over Zhao Ruqing. She scolded with displeasure: "The wind outside is strong, how can you still wear so little What if you catch a cold"

"Ye Gege, you're so good to Qing'er." Hearing the concern in his words, Zhao Ruqing was overjoyed. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she shyly and touched nestled her head against Jun Liye's shoulder.

Such an excellent man, he should be hers, no one can take him away!

In the darkness, Su Qingying's eyes were practically spitting fire, with a faint wisp of smoke rising from her back.

Zhao Tianyu glanced at her with sympathy. In order not to continue stimulating her, he decisively carried her away silently.

Only when they returned home did Zhao Tianyu release Su Qingying's acupoints. The two walked silently, one after the other, through the hall.

"Master, you're back! How did it go Are you alright" Upon seeing them, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei, who had been anxiously pacing around, suddenly brightened her eyes and rushed towards them.

With her head bowed and not a word spoken, Su Qingying seemed to have lost her soul as she swept past Xuanyuan Rongfei, drifting back to her room with a deathly air. Everyone could still see a heavy cloud hovering above her head, accompanied by a downpour, with lightning flashing every now and then, as if showcasing the depths of her despair.

"What's wrong with this girl" Shangguan Jinghong twitched her eyes and looked at Zhao Tianyu inexplicably.

Watching Su Qingying's figure disappear, Zhao Tianyu furrowed his brows. His dark eyes were as deep as night, and after a moment of contemplation, his voice was solemn, "This is a long story. We met Jun Liye at Princess Zhaoruoqing's mansion."

"Blackheart Night When did he come to Nanjiang" Shangguan Jinghong's pupils shrank suddenly, and then she looked at him in shock. A stone that had been weighing on her heart for days finally settled slightly.

"Unclear." Zhao Tianyu shook his head, his face still grave.

Leaning her neck out the door and peering, Shangguan Jinghong asked again, "Where is he Why hasn't he come back with you"

Zhaotianyu pursed his lips, shook his head again, and his dark eyes sank coldly, "He doesn't seem to remember Qingying."

"How could this be That master must be heartbroken!" Xuan Yuan Rongfei was startled, her eyes widening in surprise as she covered her mouth and exclaimed. Her gaze swept in the direction Su Qingying had left, a deep pang of heartache and worry clouding her eyes.eel like speaking anymore."Jun Liye's personality was fickle, cold and ruthless. Ying'er offending him was truly unwise. This girl, when she got arrogant, became increasingly lawless, even daring to p...
