Chapter 670: Deceived!

Wang Jianqiang looked in the direction of Sun Rou's gaze.

A figure clad in blood-colored robes entered his field of vision.

It was a youth with a rather handsome appearance, who was currently looking at Sun Rou with a face full of doting smiles.

"Are you looking to buy something?"

Sun Rou came to the youth's side with a face full of joy.

Hearing this, she nodded gently, "Yes, I want to buy some sundries."

Her tone was gentle, completely different from when she faced Wang Jianqiang.

As she spoke, her voice paused, and she looked at the youth with affection, continuing, "Brother Lin, are you... heading out of the city?"

The youth nodded, "I have an important matter to attend to, so I won't be able to accompany you."

Sun Rou said understandingly, "It's alright, important matters come first."

The youth nodded and left quickly.

After the youth left, Sun Rou glanced at Wang Jianqiang indifferently, as if she no longer had any interest in talking to him.

She walked straight into the Huaqing Building.

Wang Jianqiang looked at that charming back.

A warm smile appeared on his face.

The first time he met this Sun Rou, the other party's words had made him somewhat uncomfortable.

He had originally intended to teach her a lesson, but later, thinking that his time was tight, he gave up.

He didn't expect this woman to come looking for trouble again.

Since that was the case...

Wang Jianqiang looked at the direction the blood-robed youth had left in, a flash of apology crossing his face.

Brother Lin, although we have only met once and have no grudges between us.

But...

I must give you a taste of trouble.

One hour later.

"Rou'er~"

Just as Sun Rou walked out of the Huaqing Building, a familiar voice suddenly came.

Sun Rou was stunned.

She looked forward.

When she saw that familiar blood-robed figure, she couldn't help but feel a flash of doubt, "Brother Lin, didn't you go out of the city to attend to business?"

Lin Xue smiled lightly, "I received news shortly after leaving the city that the matter had already been resolved, so there was no need to continue."

"So I came back."

As he spoke, he came before Sun Rou and very naturally took hold of Sun Rou's palm.

Sun Rou was startled, her pretty face instantly turning red.

Although she and Lin Xue had known each other since childhood and could be considered childhood sweethearts.

Lin Xue was a very upright and rigid person.

Where had he ever held her hand in public?

"Eh, Rou'er, are you not feeling well?"

Lin Xue noticed Sun Rou's expression and asked with a face full of concern.

"No, no~"

Sun Rou shook her head repeatedly.

Her heart was filled with surprise.

This block of wood, Brother Lin, seemed to have finally caught on.

"Rou'er, I have time today, why don't we go for a walk outside the city."

Just at this moment, Lin Xue's voice came again.

Sun Rou's heart stirred.

Although they were already engaged, they had not yet completed the grand wedding ceremony.

Being so intimate in public like this did indeed have a bad influence.

Once they reached outside the city, it would be deserted.

There would be no need to worry about such things.

Thinking of this, a trace of anticipation welled up in her heart.

She nodded shyly.

Afterwards, the two of them, one after the other, left Biyu City.

They continued forward for another ten-plus miles before stopping.

"Rou'er, Brother Lin wants you to do me a favor."

Lin Xue looked at Sun Rou, his smile somewhat strange.

Sun Rou lowered her head, her pretty face somewhat flushed, "What favor?"

The next moment.

Two words echoed in her mind.

Hearing these two words, her complexion became even more rosy, and she nodded gently.

Ten days later.

"Rou'er, I have urgent matters to attend to and cannot return to the city with you; you should go back on your own."

"Mm, be careful, Brother Lin."

Sun Rou nodded considerately.

Lin Xue's affairs seemed extremely urgent, and he left in a hurry.

Sun Rou did not leave immediately, leaning against the stone wall of the cave to rest.

It was not until more than half a day later that she rose to leave the cave and returned toward Biyu City.

Not long after.

Before she had returned to Biyu City, she suddenly encountered a team of anxious-looking Fengxue Pavilion Cultivators.

"What is wrong with you all?"

She walked straight toward them and asked in confusion.

Hearing Sun Rou's voice, the team of Fengxue Pavilion Cultivators looked toward her one after another, then revealed expressions of pleasant surprise.

"It is the Young Miss, we have found the Young Miss."

"Looking for me?"

Hearing the crowd's voices, Sun Rou was startled, "Why are you looking for me?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd looked at each other in dismay.

A moment later.

A middle-aged guard hesitated for a moment and said to Sun Rou, "Young Miss, you disappeared for over half a month without saying a word to the Pavilion Master; the Pavilion Master is nearly worried sick."

"You had better hurry back."

Sun Rou was startled, "I left Biyu City together with Brother Lin; many people saw it at the time."

"Father could just investigate a little to find out, is there any need to be this anxious?"

"This subordinate does not know either."

The guard shook his head.

Sun Rou frowned, instinctively sensing a trace of an uneasy atmosphere.

However, she could not say exactly what was wrong.

So she followed the team back to Biyu City.

After returning to Fengxue Building, she was directly summoned by her father, Sun Hulong.

"Father, I left the city with Brother Lin; why are you in such a rush to find me?"

Upon seeing Sun Hulong, Sun Rou revealed a look of confusion and spoke first.

Sun Hulong's face turned livid, and he slapped Sun Rou across the face.

The blow sent Sun Rou spinning, and her fair, tender cheek instantly swelled up, "Rebellious daughter, you still dare to speak!"

"Father, why did you hit me?" Sun Rou was stunned by the blow, her face full of bewilderment.

Sun Hulong pointed at Sun Rou, his finger trembling, "One of the Blood Clothes Sect's mines was attacked by bandits, and Lin Xue had long since taken people from the Blood Clothes Sect to that mine to Suppress them; the person who left with you was an impostor!"

As Sun Hulong spoke, his voice was trembling.

After seeing that his daughter had not returned for several days.

He had sent people out to investigate.

When he learned that his daughter had left Biyu City with "Lin Xue".

He was actually somewhat uncertain.

So he specifically went to ask the Blood Clothes Sect.

The Blood Clothes Sect specifically contacted Lin Xue, but received a clear, negative answer from Lin Xue's own mouth.

At that moment.

He realized that his daughter had been deceived.

Along with him, the Blood Clothes Sect Master and Lin Xue knew as well!

The name Blood Clothes Sect might not sound like a righteous sect.

But it was quite the opposite.

The Blood Clothes Sect Master and Lin Xue, this pair of father and son, were known for being upright and concerned with their reputation.

Upon learning that his future daughter-in-law had actually left the city hand-in-hand with someone else, he directly and unilaterally tore up the marriage contract.

Although Lin Xue felt some reluctance, he also made the decision through gritted teeth.

Their Fengxue Pavilion had managed to climb up to the Blood Clothes Sect with great difficulty, hoping to use the Blood Clothes Sect to grow stronger and become a first-rate power in Biyu City in one fell swoop.

The plan was good.

But now it had completely fallen through.

Hearing her father Sun Hulong's somewhat gloomy tone, Sun Rou was stunned, "Impossible, I am so familiar with Lin Xue's aura, how could I not have been able to tell?"

Sun Hulong sighed, "I have already investigated; Lin Xue met with you once before leaving the city, and that fake Lin Xue appeared later."

"However, after Lin Xue left the city, he never returned at all."

"You were deceived!"
