Chapter 1344: My Tianyu Has a Clear Conscience

Wang Jianqiang's expression flickered upon hearing this, then quickly returned to normal, "Daoist Friend Ye, you are overthinking it; how could that be possible?"

Hearing the response from "Tianyu," Ye Lingyun's heart sank completely.

The last remaining shred of hope in his heart vanished instantly.

After finishing that sentence, he had been carefully observing Tianyu's expression.

He clearly detected a trace of panic in Tianyu's expression.

Moreover, "Tianyu's" voice seemed to have a relaxed tone.

But he could clearly hear that the other party's tone was feigning ease.

This was clearly a sign of having a guilty conscience!

Thinking of this.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks with a gloomy expression.

Seeing Ye Lingyun suddenly stop in mid-air, Biyan'er and Wang Jianqiang were startled and followed suit, stopping as well.

"Daoist Friend Ye, what is the matter?"

Biyan'er turned around and looked at Ye Lingyun in confusion.

Ye Lingyun stared at Biyan'er, his face livid, "Bi Xianzi, tell me the truth: have you and Tianyu slept together?"

Biyan'er's expression faltered.

Her delicate brows furrowed tightly, and she did not speak immediately.

Seeing Biyan'er's reaction, Ye Lingyun gave up all hope.

His expression grew even uglier.

Just then, Biyan'er suddenly spoke, "Daoist Friend Ye, you are being somewhat rude."

"This is my private affair; what does it have to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me?"

Ye Lingyun laughed in extreme anger, "I don't believe you couldn't see that I have feelings for you; why would you do this?"

Hearing Ye Lingyun's interrogation, Biyan'er shook her head.

Since things had reached this point, the concerns in her heart also vanished completely, and she responded indifferently, "What a joke, who do you think you are?"

"Just because you have feelings for me, I have to follow you?"

Ye Lingyun's expression faltered, rendered speechless by the retort.

He shifted his gaze and looked aggressively at "Tianyu" again.

"Tianyu, it was in vain that I regarded you as a close friend; is this how you treat me?"

"Have you forgotten what you said before?"

Wang Jianqiang sighed, "Daoist Friend Ye, Tianyu knows your feelings for Yan'er, but..."

"Sigh, regardless of how you put it, Yan'er and I have already slept together; there is no point in bringing up the past, so I, Tianyu, have let you down, Daoist Friend Ye."

"You bastard!"

Ye Lingyun let out an angry snort, "Since you and Bi Xianzi have already reached this stage, why did you have to hide it?"

Thinking of how he had acted like a fool guarding the door for the two of them several times during this period, Ye Lingyun almost vomited blood.

"This..."

"I only value the friendship between us, Daoist Friend Ye, so I was embarrassed to bring it up."

Wang Jianqiang sighed.

"Daoist Friend Tianyu, you need not be like this."

Seeing Daoist Friend Tianyu looking awkward and extremely embarrassed under Ye Lingyun's questioning, Biyan'er suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

She could not help but speak coldly, interrupting the exchange between the two.

Her beautiful eyes shifted, her gaze landing on Ye Lingyun, her tone cold, "Daoist Friend Ye, you need not act as if you have been framed."

"My relationship with you is clean and innocent; there is no talk of betrayal, and Daoist Friend Tianyu has done nothing to wrong you."

"You have no right to interrogate Daoist Friend Tianyu."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyun's eyes widened, a sense of stifling frustration filled his chest, and he pointed at Biyan'er, unable to speak.

At this moment.

He could not help but recall those past experiences.

In the Immortal Abandoned Land.

That bastard Wang Jianqiang had snatched his beloved away several times.

He had thought that upon coming to the Sea Region, without that bastard's interference, he would finally be able to be with the one he loved.

Yet he never expected that a Tianyu from the Mermaid Clan would pop up halfway!

How unreasonable!

Thinking of this, he could not help but feel a sense of misery rising from his heart.

The depression in his chest, combined with the grievances he had suffered in the past, erupted all at once.

Pfft~

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his vision went black, and he fainted directly.

Free fall.

With a bang, he fell to the ground.

Wang Jianqiang looked down at the ground, a flash of worry crossing his face, "This... sigh... how could it come to this?"

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's guilty expression, Biyan'er sighed in her heart.

Daoist Friend Tianyu is too kind after all.

She spoke softly to Wang Jianqiang to console him, "Daoist Friend Tianyu, this matter cannot be blamed on you; if anyone is to be blamed, it can only be Ye Lingyun for being selfish and only considering himself."

"You need not feel guilty."

Hearing Biyan'er's words of comfort, the look of guilt on Wang Jianqiang's face faded quite a bit.

He looked at Ye Lingyun, who was currently in a coma, "Yan'er, it is too dangerous for Daoist Friend Ye to be unconscious here; let us guard him here for a while."

"It can also be considered a resolution to our past ties."

Upon hearing this, Biyan'er was silent for a moment, then nodded gently.

After all, she had once had feelings for Ye Lingyun, though that trace of affection had long since vanished.

But she was not a cold-hearted person after all, and could not completely discard their ties and watch him remain unconscious in this dangerous wilderness.

"Very well."

"Once he wakes up, our ties will be settled."

"From then on, he walks his path, and we cross our river; we shall have nothing to do with each other."

Biyan'er spoke softly.

It was not that she was heartless.

It was that she knew very well that Ye Lingyun would likely not forgive Tianyu.

Although Tianyu was stronger than Ye Lingyun, he was too kind and honest, lacking the devious nature of Ye Lingyun.

If they could not cut all ties with Ye Lingyun immediately, they would likely suffer at his hands.

That was why she made a prompt decision.

She helped Tianyu make this choice.

Sure enough.

After hearing her words, although a flash of hesitation crossed Tianyu's face, he seemed somewhat conflicted.

But in the end, he did not refute her decision and nodded in agreement.

Half an hour later.

Ye Lingyun woke up groggily.

A flash of confusion crossed his face.

He had just had a nightmare.

In the dream.

His beloved Yan'er had been taken away by Tianyu.

Heh~

This dream was a bit fake.

A mere ordinary Integration Stage Cultivator of the Mermaid Clan, a small fry he was destined to surpass and trample underfoot.

Could he really take away Ye Lingyun's beloved?

"You are awake."

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly entered his ears.

It was Yan'er!

His heart stirred, he gathered his focus, and looked to the side.

Immediately, he saw Biyan'er taking the initiative to hold Tianyu's hand, standing to the side and looking at him.

Seeing this, his vision went black.

He almost fainted again.

It was not a dream!

Everything before was real!

Tianyu really had taken his Yan'er!

"Since you are already awake, there is no need for us to continue guarding you."

"Daoist Friend Ye, you and I were merely chance acquaintances; now that I have Daoist Friend Tianyu, to avoid any misunderstandings by Daoist Friend Tianyu, we must keep our distance."

"From now on, let us each go our own way."

"We shall not meet again."

To help Tianyu resolve future troubles, Biyan'er hardened her heart and spoke coldly.

Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of reluctance, opened his mouth, and finally sighed, "Daoist Friend Ye, I actually did not do this on purpose, it is just that you know... my charm is too great, I cannot fully restrain my own charm, and compared to me, you are a bit too ordinary..."

Having said this, his voice paused, and he shook his head helplessly, "Sigh... forget it, even if I explain more, Daoist Friend Ye probably will not understand, there is no use in saying more..."

"In any case, I, Tianyu, have a clear conscience."
