Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 43

Bi Lan wanted to retort and tell Ren Qingyue to get a grip, but considering Ren Qingyue's status, she restrained herself and did not speak.

After a moment of thought, she chose a gentler tone: "But Yan Junior Sister is in danger. As a fellow disciple, I shouldn't abandon her now. If I only care about myself, how is that different from the cold-hearted cultivators of today?"

Ren Qingyue looked up and met Bi Lan's gaze.

Bi Lan responded calmly.

After a moment, Ren Qingyue's long lashes fell, obscuring the fluctuations of her emotions: "Do as you wish."

With that, she stood up.

She glanced at Bi Lan and then walked away.

Bi Lan: ?

Ren Qingyue rescuing Yan Zhao and arranging for Yan Zhao's care with Bi Lan was witnessed by Nangong Yin.

She casually threw the severely injured Ling Jiancheng, who was covered in blood and on the brink of death, to Lei Shuang: "Reciprocity. You know what to do."

Lei Shuang grabbed Ling Jiancheng, feeling the broken bones in her hands and inwardly taking a sharp breath: Truly ruthless.

She had no sympathy for Ling Jiancheng's plight. The Fuyun Sect had set up a trap to kill Nangong Yin, and they should have anticipated the fate of their pawn. Provoking Nangong Yin meant paying the price.

She responded, "Understood."

Jiang Ying and Feng Jin were also nearby. Nangong Yin stared into the distance for a long time without looking back. Jiang Ying stepped forward to inquire, "Lord of Demons, what about that child..."

Nangong Yin raised a hand to interrupt Jiang Ying but addressed the person standing next to her: "Are you now the Celestial Arrow Demon, or Feng Jin?"

Feng Jin had already decided on her answer before coming, so she lowered her eyes: "As you wish, Master."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yin turned around: "Good. Answer me this: Do you know Yan Zhao? Are you familiar with her?"

Feng Jin pondered and answered, "I know her, but Miss Yan is rather reclusive and dislikes interacting with others, so I don't know much about her."

Nangong Yin nodded: "I need you to do something for me."

"Just give the order, Master."

Nangong Yin said, "Follow her and protect her in secret. If not absolutely necessary, do not reveal yourself."

Feng Jin had long sensed Nangong Yin's regard for Yan Zhao, but she was surprised to find it exceeding her expectations.

This realization made her break into a cold sweat. If Nangong Yin knew of her past actions, her fate might not be much better than Ling Jiancheng's.

Feng Jin took a deep breath and silently resolved to make amends.

Thus, she respectfully replied, "I understand."

Nangong Yin took one last look, thinking: This is not the time for recognition.

She withdrew her gaze and left.

Jiang Ying wanted to say something but ultimately decided to remain silent.

Lin Chao hurriedly left the celestial palace, moving through the forest.

Soon, he heard a very weak call for help.

The voice sounded familiar. He followed the sound and saw a bloodied figure under a tree.
