Chapter 53: Why Would I Laugh?

Hua Bairui shouted these words, and even she was startled by them.

But she knew, she was only doing this to save the senior.

As long as she said she liked him, Master surely wouldn't kill him, right?

At the very least, she had to keep the senior alive.

Yet she did not know that these words had walked straight into the line of fire of Yin Ningyu.

Yin Ningyu's face turned pale instantly: "You girl are truly insane, go down and reflect on yourself."

Yin Ningyu waved her hand, vines wrapped around Hua Bairui's ankles, and she was thrown directly out of Baihua Hall.

Hua Bairui landed steadily on the ground and wanted to run back, but the great doors had already closed.

"Master! Master! Please let him go!"

Hua Bairui reached out and pounded on the great doors, shouting.

This drew the surrounding disciples to watch, none of them knowing what matter could make Senior Sister Hua look so... so distraught.

"I beg you, Master!"

Hua Bairui did not care about their gazes and continued to shout.

"Get out, do not come to see me within a month... take her away!"

Yin Ningyu's cold voice drifted out from within the hall.

The surrounding disciples looked at each other in dismay upon hearing this.

Finally, two disciples walked out and came to Hua Bairui's side: "Senior Sister... the Sect Master has already spoken, come with us."

A female disciple looked at Hua Bairui and said.

"Master!!!"

Hua Bairui ignored her and pounded on the great doors even harder.

"Take her away!"

Yin Ningyu shouted.

Hearing that the Sect Master was truly angry, the disciples dared not delay and hurriedly stepped forward together to haul Hua Bairui away.

"Sigh." Feeling that Hua Bairui had left, Yin Ningyu sat on the jade chair and sighed deeply.

This Natural Charm Bone is truly troublesome...

She could tell from Hua Bairui's expression and demeanor that Hua Bairui had truly fallen for Jiang Xun.

Perhaps she herself did not even realize it yet.

But in these few hundred years, when had she ever revealed that kind of worried expression?

Even when she herself was in seclusion, or when her junior sister was breaking through and undergoing Heavenly Tribulation, nearly being struck to death by the tribulation, she had never been this worried.

"This damned Natural Charm Bone, is there any way to destroy it."

Yin Ningyu sat on the jade chair, deep in thought; if she could replace this Natural Charm Bone, there wouldn't be so many people competing with her for Jiang Xun in the future, right?

Meanwhile, Jiang Xun was attempting to leave the Dungeon.

He had tried five Saint Grade items, but they wouldn't open it.

It wasn't that the Saint Grade items were ineffective, but that the Spirit Energy in this prison had been sealed; there wasn't even a shred of Spirit Energy.

Jiang Xun also couldn't use his internal energy.

He simply couldn't get out.

Naturally, he couldn't send a message out either; even his Storage Ring was unusable.

Although the System Space was available, Jiang Xun hadn't placed a Communication Jade Tube inside the System Space.

"This woman plays quite perversely, you are now as weak as a chicken, what does she want to do to an old man like you?"

Jun Tianling saw this and said.

"You don't understand, she wants to protect me so that the fighting doesn't affect me."

Jiang Xun lay back on the bed, crossed his legs, and looked at the ceiling as he spoke.

"Yo, you think too highly of yourself, don't you?"

Jun Tianling said sarcastically.

"Believe it or not."

Jiang Xun didn't intend to convince Jun Tianling.

Suddenly, Jiang Xun thought of the Wall Mirror Jade Pendant; if he could contact Qin Miaoyin, he could also have Qin Miaoyin help him send a message.

Thus, Jiang Xun took out the Wall Mirror Jade Pendant and tried to activate it, but naturally, there was no reaction at all.

Without internal energy, how could he activate it?

However, according to the agreement between Jiang Xun and Qin Miaoyin, they would meet every three days.

Today was the second day; if Qin Miaoyin didn't see Jiang Xun tomorrow, she should think that something had happened to Jiang Xun.

Even if she thought Jiang Xun had something to do and didn't come, she would definitely use the Jade Pendant to contact him, and when she discovered Jiang Xun wasn't responding, she would certainly know that something had happened to Jiang Xun.

Then it would depend on whether Qin Miaoyin would inquire about the Lingerie-Sect.

Fortunately, she also knew his identity.

"Why didn't you resist just now?"

Seeing Jiang Xun looking at the Jade Pendant, Jun Tianling assumed it was something very important to him and didn't ask further, instead speaking up.

Jiang Xun chuckled: "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Jun Tianling was speechless: "Is there anyone who likes being deceived?"

"Hahaha, I think you quite like being deceived." Jiang Xun couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"..." Jun Tianling's face turned black: "Are you going to say it or not?"

"To tell... the truth, I didn't react in time..."

He really hadn't reacted in time!

When he went in, he had observed the surroundings; apart from sculptures, there were only chairs, and absolutely no vines.

Who the hell knew where those vines came from?

By the time he was grabbed, although the Nine Heavens Reversal Robe had lessened the grip, Jiang Xun still couldn't break free.

So he said he would walk on his own.

But Yin Ningyu didn't give him the chance at all.

After being dragged into the Dungeon, his internal energy was gone too.

What the hell was there to resist with...

"I've been forced by you to become an Artifact Spirit; it's truly shameful."

Upon hearing this, Jun Tianling wished he could just bash his head against a piece of tofu and die.

An hour passed, and a bored Jiang Xun fell asleep.

Jun Tianling didn't ask for trouble either and sat on the ground to meditate.

Suddenly, he felt something was a bit strange.

Isn't my Spirit Energy sealed? Why can I still cultivate?

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Deep in the night...

"Senior... Senior Jiang..."

A woman's soft call came from outside the prison cell.

Jiang Xun opened his eyes groggily and looked outside the cell.

Hua Bairui was holding a candle, looking at him through the cell door.

"Fairy Bairui, why have you come?"

Jiang Xun slowly stood up, walked to the front of the cell, and asked.

"It was Bairui who harmed you." Seeing that Jiang Xun was fine, Hua Bairui said while using a key to open the cell door: "After you get out, I will send you to the nearest exit; the rest will be up to you, Senior."

"You're going to let me go?" Jiang Xun was stunned; he hadn't expected this.

"Yes." Hua Bairui nodded, opened the cell door, and pulled Jiang Xun out from inside.

Without a word, she pulled Jiang Xun's hand and walked out, saying at the same time: "I told you nothing would happen, so I won't let anything happen to you."

"You, aren't you afraid your Master will blame you?" Jiang Xun looked at their joined hands and smiled.

"I can't worry about that much." Hua Bairui shook her head.

After the two walked out of the Dungeon, Jiang Xun also felt his internal energy return.

"You really are a disaster; this girl is saving you this time, and regardless of whether you can get out, she is going to suffer for it."

Seeing this scene, Jun Tianling couldn't help but feel pity for Hua Bairui.

After all, according to her style, if such a traitor appeared in the sect, it would definitely be a dead end.

As for what Yin Ningyu would do, she didn't know.

After his internal energy returned, Hua Bairui pulled Jiang Xun to use Wind Control to fly, heading toward the nearest exit at full speed.

"Come with me."

Jiang Xun gently squeezed Hua Bairui's hand and said.

Only then did Hua Bairui realize she was still holding Jiang Xun's hand, and she hurriedly let go: "I'm not leaving."

"Your Master won't spare you," Jiang Xun urged.

"She won't. At most, Master will scold me and ground me; don't you worry."

Hua Bairui looked back at Jiang Xun, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly to reveal a very, very beautiful smile.

It was like a flower suddenly blooming in the middle of a cold winter.

Feeling that she had smiled, Hua Bairui touched the corner of her mouth in surprise...

Why did I smile...

Even though I did something like this...
