Chapter 221: Not a Good Thing

Fairy Yun Xin's ill will toward Wang Jianqiang was entirely built upon the situation of him being an enemy to Ye Lingyun.

Thinking back on it now, is this Wang Jianqiang truly as unbearable as Ye Lingyun claimed?

I fear that is not entirely the case.

One person, while knowing full well that a powerful enemy had set an ambush, could still proceed without hesitation and risk their own safety to come and rescue others.

The other, after encountering a crisis, abandoned their companions and fled alone without a second thought.

Comparing the two, whose character is higher and whose is lower?

The result is already very obvious.

Perhaps...

From beginning to end, Ye Lingyun is the one who is the villain!

The so-called grievances he spoke of regarding Wang Jianqiang, even if not fabricated out of thin air, likely have some other hidden story.

As for Wang Jianqiang's act of lifting someone's skirt during the battle, that is even easier to understand.

In a life-or-death struggle, one uses every means possible.

For the sake of victory, even more excessive actions are understandable; it has nothing to do with one's character.

Thinking of this, the hatred in her gaze as she looked at Wang Jianqiang instantly dissipated.

She was in the wrong first, as she had, without knowing the truth, joined Ye Lingyun in using his Junior Sister to set an ambush against him.

Him dealing with her, being hostile toward her, humiliating her, restraining her...

Aren't all of these things deserved?

She can only blame herself for being unable to judge people correctly and for mistakenly trusting that piece of human trash, Ye Lingyun.

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly arrived before her.

Looking up, a cold and stern face came into view.

She gave a bitter smile, "Daoist Friend Wang, it is all Yun Xin's fault for failing to judge people correctly. Yun Xin already knows her mistake; whether you want to kill me or carve me up, Yun Xin accepts it."

Hearing Yun Xin's words, Wang Jianqiang's cold and stern face suddenly melted like ice and snow, "So that is how it is. I am very clear on Ye Lingyun's character."

"That person is most skilled at bewitching people's hearts; it is completely understandable that Fairy Yun Xin was bewitched by him into committing some irrational acts."

"Fortunately, no dire consequences were caused, so the Fairy need not blame herself."

"Since the Fairy has already reflected on this, let today's matter end here."

Having said this, he pressed his palm onto Yun Xin's shoulder and gave a light jolt.

That power which had restrained Yun Xin instantly dissipated.

"Senior Brother, how can you let her off so easily?"

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"That's right, Senior Brother, who knows if she is just pretending." Su Yutong looked at Mu Lingxi, her eyes flashed, and she also began to object.

Wang Yu Yao looked at Wang Jianqiang, then looked at Mu Lingxi and Su Yutong, and felt that the two of them were acting somewhat abnormally.

Being clever, she did not speak up, but chose to remain silent.

The reason Wang Jianqiang so easily released the control over Yun Xin was because he discovered that Yun Xin's Good and Evil Value toward him had suddenly soared from -80 to 40.

And as he released the power restraining Yun Xin.

Her Good and Evil Value soared once more, already reaching 70.

Goodness me~

Could this woman be one of those sect darlings who hasn't really left her sect, has always been strictly protected by it, and has never experienced the deceit of the world?

How could she be so easy to trust others?

Wang Jianqiang was happy in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

After hearing the words of Mu Lingxi and Su Yutong, he secretly thought to himself: what good support.

His face remained calm, however, and he sternly scolded them, "Scoundrels, have you two forgotten the precepts of our Junzi Sect?"

"A gentleman is open and honest; one must act with magnanimity."

"Has Fairy Yun Xin not already explained?"

"She was merely bewitched by Ye Lingyun and was confused for a moment, which is why she was hostile toward us."

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared and Fairy Yun Xin has admitted her mistake, we should not keep harping on this point."

Hearing the three words "Junzi Sect".

A flash of doubt crossed Wang Yu Yao's face; her expression shifted, but she did not ask further.

Mu Lingxi gave an unconvinced cold snort and argued her case.

"Let her off? How could it be that easy?"

"She wants to be our enemy, so she is our enemy; she wants to make up, so she makes up. If word gets out, others will likely think our Junzi Sect is easy to bully."

Su Yutong also shook her head, "Exactly, at the very least, we must plant a Soul Imprint as a safeguard."

"Hmph, the two of you, say no more. My mind is made up."

Wang Jianqiang flicked his sleeves, his face darkening.

"Daoist Friend Wang, and the two Fairies, please do not argue anymore."

Seeing that Wang Jianqiang had gotten into a dispute with his two Junior Sisters on her behalf, Yun Xin could not help but feel a wave of shame.

What an upright and kind person.

She had actually listened to the bewitchment of that villain Ye Lingyun before and had nearly committed a grave error.

It is truly damnable!

Hearing Yun Xin's words, Wang Jianqiang looked toward her and smiled, "Fairy Yun Xin, you may rest assured. I always keep my word; these two girls wouldn't dare to rebel."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xin shook her head, looked at Mu Lingxi and Su Yutong, and then bowed deeply to the two of them.

"Two Fairies, everything before was Yun Xin's fault, I have offended you greatly."

After speaking, she looked toward Wang Jianqiang again, "Daoist Friend Wang, you need not argue with the two Fairies; the two Fairies are quite right, one must bear the consequences for making a mistake."

"Yun Xin is willing to let you, Daoist Friend, plant a Soul Seal."

"How can this be?" Wang Jianqiang shook his head repeatedly, "Since I, Wang, have already learned of the Fairy's hidden difficulties, how could I continue to make things difficult for you? Would that not be casting me into unrighteousness?"

"Senior Brother, you are always so upright and kind; you will suffer for this. How can Junior Sister even talk to you?" Mu Lingxi let out a long sigh.

Su Yutong also shook her head, feeling a wave of helplessness.

Seeing this, Yun Xin felt even more self-reproach in her heart.

With a firm expression, she said to Wang Jianqiang, "Daoist Friend Wang, Yun Xin knows you are doing this for my own good, but my mind is made up."

"Daoist Friend Wang, plant the Soul Seal."

Having said this, she voluntarily let down her Soul defenses.

"This~"

A look of hesitation flashed across Wang Jianqiang's face.

After hesitating again and again, he finally let out a long sigh, "Since it has come to this, I, Wang, will have to offend you."

"Come, Daoist Friend Wang, Yun Xin is already prepared."

"Sigh~"

Wang Jianqiang sighed helplessly once more, his Soul Power spreading out to plant a Soul Seal within Yun Xin's Soul Origin.

Immediately after, he withdrew his Soul Power from Yun Xin's body.

"Fairy, I, Wang, am finished."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Yun Xin slowly opened her eyes, a look of relief appearing on her face.

With the Soul Seal planted, the sense of guilt in her heart had finally dissipated quite a bit.

Her whole person became relaxed.

"Fairy, this Soul Seal is truly a helpless measure; if you wish to remove it in the future, I, Wang, will remove it for you at any time."

Wang Jianqiang sighed again.

In his heart, he was already blooming with joy.

Because he discovered that Yun Xin's Good and Evil Value toward him had actually surged to 90 points.

Yun Xin nodded gently.

To the side, Xing Li was already dumbfounded.

When it came to acting, apart from Wang Jianqiang, she was the strongest here.

With just one glance, she saw the performative elements in the expressions of Mu Lingxi and Su Yutong.

Yet this Yun Xin had not noticed it in the slightest.

She had actually jumped voluntarily into the pit these three had dug for her.

After coming back to her senses, she looked at Yun Xin, a trace of pity unable to help but flash in her eyes.

This child is almost being tricked into stupidity!

Immediately following this, she once again developed doubts about the legitimacy of the Junzi Sect.

This was no longer an individual act.

It had escalated to a group crime.

Even if this Junzi Sect could not be counted as a Demonic Sect, it was likely not anything good either.
