Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 555 - 215: A Man Dared to Sneak into the Saintess’s Room at Night?

In the forest, the night was deep, and the birds and insects were resting.

Xia Qinglian stood amidst the crowd, her posture tall and unmatched in beauty, instructing the others:

"You must continue to hide here and must not expose yourselves."

"Saintess, I wish to stay by your side and protect you!" Xue Wen spoke, but Xia Qinglian gave him a look, and he could only lower his head sheepishly.

Then, under the astonished gaze of everyone, Xia Qinglian’s figure became shorter, her perfect oval face transformed into a delicate oval face, her peerless appearance became ordinary, and in a short moment she completely turned into another person.

Xue Wen stared blankly at this delicate and gentle face, suddenly realizing, "So the Saintess is disguised as a disciple of the Zhenyang Sect?!"

The others also recognized her as one of the female disciples of the Zhenyang Sect.

Xia Qinglian said, "My name is Ruo Mei, an Inner Sect Disciple of Danxia Peak in the Zhenyang Sect. I just joined half a year ago, remember, this must not be revealed."

"Yes, Saintess!"

Everyone clasped their hands in agreement.

Ruo Mei nodded and walked toward the village, pausing after a few steps, and turned back:

"The people who stood with me during the day, one of them is Liu Su, the other two are my friends. If you encounter them, do not use lethal force."

She added another sentence: "Especially the tall and burly man."

The crowd looked at each other and quickly nodded again.

The petite figure soon disappeared into the distance, and Xue Wen suddenly said, "Brother, who is this tall man the Saintess specifically mentioned? Is he taller than me?"

Xue Wu glanced at him, "Brother, the road ahead is dangerous. We should follow the Saintess’s instructions. As for other matters, let’s talk later."

Xue Wen said, "That’s why we shouldn’t let the Saintess take risks alone. I’m very worried about her. Why don’t we secretly follow and protect her?"

Xue Wu pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "The two of us will go, and the others will return first, waiting for our return."

...

Qiu Zhihe returned to the village, her figure flickered, and she silently entered the house where she resided.

Then she paused, turning to look outside the door: "Husband?"

The door opened, and a figure even taller and stronger than Xue Wen entered, looking at Qiu Zhihe:

"Wife, it’s so late, where did you go?"

Qiu Zhihe sat down, calmly saying, "Husband, why have you been waiting outside my door so late?"

Qin Gengyun sat down in front of her, poured her a cup of tea: "Wife, you seemed to be in a hurry, you must be thirsty. Have some tea first."

Qiu Zhihe took the cup and drank a small sip, pouring Qin Gengyun a cup too: "Husband, you drink too."

Qin Gengyun smiled as he took it: "Okay."

The couple sat facing each other, drinking tea without speaking, the atmosphere in the room a bit eerie.

Outside the room, in a distant forest.

"How did a man enter the Saintess’s room? What is he up to?!"

"Brother, calm down, maybe he’s a mole the Saintess planted in the Zhenyang Sect!"

Moments ago, Xue Wen watched wide-eyed as a man taller and stronger than himself entered the Saintess’s room. If not for his brother Xue Wu pulling him back, he would have barged in to drag out that scoundrel!

Back on Cyan Lotus Mountain, even though the Saintess was friendly with fellow disciples, her nature was cold and aloof, never engaging intimately with any male disciple.

Especially having a man enter her room at night!

If anyone dared do such a thing back at the Cyan Lotus Sect, they’d have been burned to ashes long ago!

Xue Wen stared intently at the closed door, his breath heavy. If not for Xue Wu setting up an Isolation Array around them in advance, such loud breaths would have been noticed by now.

Initially thinking this tall man was a mole arranged by the Saintess to report back and leave shortly after.

But after waiting a long while, the man didn’t come out.

Now, even Xue Wu’s face looked a bit grim.

Though he didn’t harbor secret admiration for the Saintess like his brother Xue Wen, Xia Qinglian still held a sacred place in his heart. Yet now, a man had entered the Saintess’s room for so long at night.

It was simply unimaginable.

Just who is that guy?

Inside the house, Qin Gengyun picked up the teapot again, shook it, and smiled at Qiu Zhihe:

"Wife, the tea is finished."

Qiu Zhihe stood up: "Husband, I’ll make you more tea."

But Qin Gengyun took hold of her hand, her steps halting, not daring to turn back.

Qin Gengyun was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Wife, how do you feel about returning to Cyan Lotus Mountain?"

Qiu Zhihe’s small hand tugged slightly, yet Qin Gengyun held it firmly. She finally turned back to look at him, her eyes slightly red.

"Cyan Lotus Mountain from before, along with the villages below, had many people."

Qin Gengyun stood up, raised his hand, gently wiping the moisture from the corner of her eyes.

"Wife, what do you wish to do?"

Qiu Zhihe’s body stiffened, staring at him blankly.

Qin Gengyun did not ask her who she really was, only what she wished to do.

Qiu Zhihe lowered her head slightly, after a moment, raised it, the tears in her eyes gone, replaced by a coldness:

"If I want revenge, what would you do, husband?"

Qin Gengyun asked: "How would you seek revenge?"

Qiu Zhihe bit her lip, her gaze cold and sharp: "Kill all the enemies."

Qin Gengyun said: "Cyan Lotus Sect was besieged by the Three Great Sects. Killing all the enemies means destroying the Three Great Sects?"

Qiu Zhihe said nothing, but the intense killing intent on her face spoke volumes.

Qin Gengyun suddenly laughed.

Qiu Zhihe was taken aback: "Why does husband laugh? Do you think I’m overreaching?"

Qin Gengyun shook his head: "Wife, even if you destroy the Three Great Sects, it won’t truly be revenge."

Qiu Zhihe’s beautiful eyes fixed on him: "Why?"

Qin Gengyun said: "Cyan Lotus Sect, five hundred years ago, was branded as the Demon Sect by Zhenyang, despised by the world and forced to move from Zhenyang Mountain to the South Demon territory. In these five hundred years, despite many talents emerging, they couldn’t change this situation. Do you know why?"

"Wh-why?" Qiu Zhihe’s heart suddenly pounded, these words seemed familiar, as if spoken by Xue Wu, who as a disciple of Cyan Lotus Sect, was very familiar with its feud with the Three Great Sects.

Now, hearing the same words from her husband’s mouth, an unprecedented sense of expectancy suddenly rose in her heart.

Qin Gengyun’s gentle voice came to her ears:

"Because they held the major advantage, winning the people’s hearts. Even if you, wife, can take revenge, in the world’s eyes, it would merely be remnants of the Demon Sect slaughtering the Righteous Path sects. To the world, Cyan Lotus Sect would always be the evil Demon Sect, no different from Sheng Tanglian, who couldn’t die in peace five hundred years ago."

Qiu Zhihe’s palms were sweaty, her fingers tightly clenched around Qin Gengyun’s broad hand.

"Husband, then what do you say I should do?"

Qin Gengyun smiled and said: "Five hundred years ago, how Zhenyang dealt with Sheng Tanglian and Cyan Lotus Sect, now we deal with Zhenyang Sect in the same way. Once we uncover the secrets of Zhenyang and Zhenyang Sect and make them known to the world, the people will judge who is righteous and who is evil!"

"By then, we will carry the momentum of the world, revive Cyan Lotus Sect, and Zhenyang Sect will collapse without a fight. That’s what true revenge looks like!"
