Chapter 391: 391
At Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
“Did you scratch Luo Yuting’s face?” Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xiaodong and asked.
“I cast a spell on her and found out that she was the one who set you up back then,” Xiao Xiaodong tossed the bait into the river and said indifferently.
Chen Xu sighed and said, “Oh, I see.” When he was stuck in the mine, he had thought of killing the one who framed him for countless times. Now he knew who did it, but he was not keen to avenge himself.
“What’s wrong?” asked Xiao Xiaodong.
Chen Xu shook his head and said, “I feel that the world is unpredictable.”
If it weren’t for Luo Yuting, Qiao Xiang might have been forced to marry him, and Chen Xu would have followed his grandfather’s instruction and married Qiao Xiang.
Qiao Xiang treated Luo Yuting badly. If Chen Xu had married Qiao Xiang, they would have a peaceful life if his grandfather protected him. However, if anything happened to Chen Lifeng, Qiao Xiang would dump him as early as possible.
It was said that after Luo Yuting was disfigured, Qiao Xiang had been flirting with several female cultivators in the sect.
“When Qiao Xiang was in Sky City, he spent a lot of money on a worthless pill and went broke. Luo Yuting had intended to be the wife of a wealthy man, but her husband turns out to be a loser.”
As far as Xiao Xiaodong knew, after his father sold a batch of pills in Sky City, a craze for snapping up pills and forgeries swept the city. Qiao Xiang didn’t have a sharp eye, and he unfortunately bought a worthless pill. The head of Peerless Sect might have known about his loss, but he pretended to be oblivious to teach Qiao Xiang a lesson.
“I heard that when Qiao Xiang was in Sky City, he chased after a female cultivator from another sect.”
“Father told me that Qiao Xiang is not the first choice for the female cultivator. He can’t possibly get her.”
The grass was always greener on the other side of the fence.
Qiao Xiang and Luo Yuting got married after they had secretly dated for decades, but after he got her, he seemed to lose interest in her. Especially after the trip to Sky City, Qiao Xiang started to despise her.
Luo Yuting remained an Establishment Foundation cultivator. Although she grew old slowly, she would eventually lose her youth. She was pretty, but she was no longer blooming.
Chen Xu sighed and said, “Don’t tell Grandfather that she was behind my kidnap.”
His grandfather was a free-lance cultivator, and it was not good for him to offend Peerless Sect.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Okay.”
…
At Peerless Sect.
Luo Yuting looked at her face in the mirror and felt infinitely terrified.
Ever since her face was injured, she had tried in vain many methods to heal it. Besides, she found that her wounds were festering.
Looking at the festered wounds, she felt worried. She didn’t dare to imagine how she would look after the wounds deteriorated and covered her entire face.
Suddenly, several female cultivators burst in her room.
Luo Yuting looked at them with unfriendly eyes. They stood at the door and looked at her gloatingly.
“Senior Luo, why are you hiding in the room all day? What don’t you go out for a walk?” A female cultivator in red said with feigned warmth.
“Senior Luo, it’s not good for you to stay indoors all day.”
“Senior, Mr. Qiao went out for a mission. No one knows when he will come back. Why didn’t you go with him?”

“Mr. Qiao cares about Senior Luo, so he didn’t take her with her. I pity Senior Hong. She went with Mr. Qiao. I hope she would not get in dangers.”
“Senior Luo, what has happened to your face? Here is a bottle of Skin Healing Ointment. You can have a try.”
“Senior Luo, you need to take care of your wounds now. It’ll be too bad if they worsen.”
…
Luo Yuting listened to them with disgust.
One year ago, no one would have dared to break into her courtyard without permission and said rude things to her.
One year ago, even the Golden Core cultivators in the sect wouldn’t criticize her, but now, a group of Establishment Foundation cultivators came to insult her.
Luo Yuting felt regretful. If she had known she would be treated like this, she would not have gone out of her way to be Qiao Xiang’s wife.
Luo Yuting couldn’t help but think of Chen Xu.
He was unusually close with Xiao Xiaodong. It was said that they always went on missions together.
She thought to herself, “I framed Chen Xu back then, which might help him in the end.”
…
Xiao Jinting went into seclusion for thirty years. An unusual event took place during the years.
Ice Palace suddenly rushed to the Heavenly Killing Devil Sect and clashed with them. However, it was settled quietly.
Xu Muan had schemed this. He entered Xiao Jinting’s jade space and transferred a few treasures to his own space ring. He took them out in the territory of Heavenly Killing Devil Sect, which alerted Ice Palace, who rushed there and made investigation.
There was a Deity Transformation cultivator in Heavenly Killing Devil Sect, so they didn’t dare to start a fight with Ice Palace.
Ice Palace made an investigation, but there was no progress, so they had to give up.
Xu Muan repeated the method a few times. Ice Palace became cautious after they learned the lesson from the fight with Heavenly Killing Devil Sect. They sent people to investigate, but they didn’t clash with any sects.
After a few times, Ice Palace knew that someone was playing a trick, so it stopped the investigation.
