Chapter 119
Chapter 119
Lin Ruojin couldn't believe her ears.
But the expressions of those two people were genuine, two smart people who knew everything, and a handsome guy who was kept in the dark.
In an instant, all the dependence, trust and affection I had for this man during those days turned into an unspeakable shame and anger.
She turned and walked away, refusing to pay attention to Baili Shun who was chasing after her.
After returning to her room, she became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She didn't dare to imagine how the other party would mock her naivety behind her back after he realized that she was attracted to him.
There was a knock on the door just as she was laughing at herself for her own stupidity.
Lin Ruojin looked at the door vigilantly, afraid that he would burst in the next second.
Baili Shun outside the door also had a conflicted look on his face. Although he wanted to find an opportunity to hint his identity to the other party, he would never break the window paper in this way. He took the trouble to bribe the real Bai Wuxiang and let him enter Qingyun by using his appearance, just to protect her, take care of her, and make her accept himself.
Everyone said that the person he loved was Lin Ruofan, but he couldn't remember who Lin Ruofan was. He only had a clear memory of Lin Ruojin.
If he was told that there was no relationship between them, he would never believe it. His father had taught him since he was a child that what he saw and heard was not necessarily true, and if he wanted to know the truth, he had to find it out on his own.
Now he is very sure that the person he likes is Lin Ruojin, and definitely not Lin Ruofan!
Now, the trust that was built with great difficulty has been destroyed. What should we do now?
He has many methods. For example, right now, he has a way in his mind to take her away...
Just as this shameful thought was becoming more and more intense, the woman inside the door suddenly spoke, her tone very distant.
"You lost your memory, didn't you? How did you find me?"
"Can I come in and talk?"
After thinking for some time, the door was opened. Through the small gap, Lin Ruojin's eyes dimmed. When she looked up at the face with a gentle smile, she, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly couldn't say those words.
The questions on the lips disappeared silently in the wind, leaving only the dense heartache.
"Let me put it this way! Our relationship is not yet such that I can allow you to enter my room!" Lin Ruojin said coldly, "Why do you have to pretend to be someone else and come to see me?"
"I really can't remember some things, but I still remember you. Ling Shuang talked about our relationship, and she wouldn't lie to me."
Seeing that Lin Ruojin just had a fierce face and was still patient, he slowed down his tone and explained to her how he persuaded Murong Lingshuang to get Lin Ruojin's hair, and how he bribed the real Bai Wuxiang and persuaded Master Di Ling to come to Qingyun to find her with the hair that had her scent on it.
Lin Ruojin was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She couldn't believe that Murong would actually do this, but when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she realized that after all, they were childhood sweethearts, and there was no way he would side with an outsider like her.
But she didn't expect that the sect leader, Master Di Ling, would allow him to do whatever he wanted.
Baili Shun wanted to say something, but Lin Ruojin slammed the door shut and refused to listen.
"Ruo Jin..."
Inside the room, Lin Ruojin took a deep breath, and then answered him in a calm and serious tone, "Before you asked me if I wanted you to stay, and I didn't know whether I should answer you, but now I can tell you the answer seriously. I don't want you to stay."
She finished speaking in one go. She felt a little depressed at first, but later all the random thoughts in her head disappeared. She was still wondering why he stopped talking, but when she turned around, she found that he had left without her knowing.
The courtyard was empty and peaceful. The ignorant throbbing in her heart sank into the deep pool like a shriveled seed, without causing a ripple.
The woman hidden in the dark stared at the tightly closed door with burning eyes. She raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, but the smile disappeared in an instant before it reached her eyes.
Returning to her room in a daze, Bi Ruyue sat on the clean and tidy bed, staring at the gauze curtain in a daze. As if she remembered something, she woke up from a dream and hurriedly checked her body inside and out.
...No, nothing.
Her skin was white and flawless. But she clearly remembered that night, when they were in love, they did what they should do. She had entered this quiet mountain gate since she was a baby, so naturally there would be no worldly things like Shougongsha, and she could not find any trace.
Bi Ruyue was stunned. She sat on the bed for a long time, thinking about all the possibilities in her mind. It was a long time before she realized that this was most likely a dream.
Illusionary dreams are a dream that every practitioner will experience.
If you have distracting thoughts while practicing, you will dream about the things you are thinking about and want when you fall asleep.
It will be so real that even the sense of smell, taste, and pain can be felt. If one can have such a dream, it means that the person has a demon in his heart!
Everyone has inner demons, but the inner demons of immortal cultivators are more terrifying. Their inner demons will appear without a trace, parasitize in the host's heart, and eat away at their consciousness.
Bi Ruyue has heard and seen countless examples of people being bewitched by their inner demons due to various desires, and their spiritual practice being ruined due to madness.
Ashamed of her own recklessness, she felt extremely frightened and hurried to find her master, Master Di Ling, to seek a way to break the demon in her heart.
In the main hall.
Master Di Ling looked at her solemnly, his expression changing several times.
However, he never uttered those words of blame. He just flipped his palm and found a book of meditation spells and handed it to his worrying little disciple.
He had learned from his previous lessons and showed a lot more care and understanding to his disciple than he had before.
When Bi Ruyue took it, she was still kneeling on the ground, with her back bent and an embarrassed look on her face.
Just like when he was a child, when he made a mistake he would bend his back and wait pitifully for Master Di Ling to reprimand him.
"Don't take it too seriously. It's not good for your practice. Every practitioner will encounter such things!" Master Di Ling touched the top of her head and patiently calmed her emotions.
Bi Ruyue was silent for a moment, slowly raised her head, and asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
"Did Senior Brother Rujing also have inner demons?"
"..."
Rujing is the first disciple of Master Di Ling. He started to refine Qi at the age of five and was able to build a foundation in just half a month. His strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, so he has been loved by Master Di Ling since he was a child.
His excellence is unmatched. Even the always picky and eccentric Master Di Ling would proudly tell everyone that he has a disciple like him and that his life is not in vain.
But one day twenty years ago, he suddenly disappeared. Even Master Di Ling, who knew him well, could not find him. Ru Jing disappeared into the vast world with all the expectations of Master Di Ling and the people of Qingyun, leaving no trace behind.
It was on the day when he went down the mountain to look for him that Emperor Tingshi bought back Bi Ruyue.
Like a mirror, like the moon, the names have very similar meanings, which made Bi Ruyue feel like a substitute since she was a child.
She was often afraid that the senior brother whom she had never met would return one day covered in a rosy glow and amid the cheers of the crowd.
As expected, when he heard this name that was deeply buried in his heart, Master Di Ling became angry.
"Ruyue! You have been with me for so long, but you still don't know how to be cautious in what you say and do?"
"Master, I..."
"Rujing is a gifted man, a rare genius that only appears once in a century. He is good in every way, except that he won't listen to me! Ruyue, if you continue to be stubborn and can't break your heart demon, I don't mind staying in charge of Qingyun for a few more years!"
This sentence has made it clear. If she continues to be obsessed with Baili Shun, she will most likely be replaced by someone else, just like she replaced Rujing.
Not daring to ask any more questions, Bi Ruyue could only go back to practice in seclusion according to the guidance given by Master Di Ling.
With Bi Ruyue away, the atmosphere in the school became noticeably more lively. After class, Lin Ruojin followed the crowd to the cafeteria.
She was in a bad mood, and even the delicious food she used to enjoy had lost its taste. As she was sighing, she happened to hear a group of people gossiping at the table behind her, and they seemed to have mentioned the poisonous cliff in the kitchen.
"Yesterday, our junior sister from Xiafeng expressed her feelings to him, but was rejected!"
"I heard that, too. The words he used were not nice. How could a cook reject a man like us who don't have Xiafeng? He's too arrogant!"
"or……"
Not only did someone speak out in indignation, his words also drew exaggerated applause from others.
They stood up quickly, their brows knitted, their faces fierce and aggressive as if they were ready to eat someone, and ran towards the back kitchen with a posture that was three parts arrogant and seven parts unstoppable.
Lin Ruojin realized something was wrong and quickly got up and chased after him. However, at this time, the young men in white clothes had already rushed into the kitchen.
So many people suddenly rushed into the kitchen filled with the aroma of food, which scared Jinya.
Jiuya had just finished his work with great difficulty and had not yet swallowed a bite of his meal when he was about to stand up when he was held down by them. Then, in front of Jiuya's surprised gaze, they lifted up their skirts and squatted in a circle around him, some fanning him and some massaging his legs.
"Brother, please teach me how to make a girl fall in love with you!"
"I've been courting that girl for three years, but she ignored me! What went wrong?"
"Brother, what does the girl mean when she says I'm a frog? I sincerely ask for your advice!"
Jiuya: ...
Lin Ruojin: 6...
