509 She Just Doesn’t Accept Me

Ye Chenglin opened her mouth and quickly explained, “I was patrolling the area outside.”

She could not say she ran outside because she was angry with An Jiuyue and did not want to see or serve her.

It would be over if she admitted this to him.

“Patrolling?” Qian Jiyun turned and glanced at An Jiuyue before looking at Ye Chenglin.

She was his subordinate, and he had sent her to take care of An Jiuyue. Yet, Ye Chenglin said she went out to patrol.

He knew An Jiuyue well. She did not even say much when Gong Cheng revealed that he had deliberately acknowledged Zheng’er and Rong’er as his sons.

However, she was now speaking unkindly to Ye Chenglin.

He sighed softly and put down his chopsticks slowly.

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have sent someone unfamiliar to take care of you.”

He spoke genuinely to An Jiuyue and swore to himself that there would not be a next time. He glanced at Ye Chenglin sternly.

“Get lost! Swap out with Yan Nuo and Yan Jin! Don’t show up near this tent again without my permission.”

“Master!” Ye Chenglin was shocked. She looked at Qian Jiyun in horror and shouted involuntarily.

Yan Nuo and Yan Jin went to the Spirit Severing Cliff as soon as they returned. Many demonic beasts attacked their tents there, and the battles were fierce.

She and Qin Yifeng were both women. Although they had always stayed at Huayan Peak, they did not go out to kill demonic beasts frequently.

But now, Qian Jiyun wanted her to go to Broken Spirit Cliff with Qin Yifeng to fight against demonic beasts because of another woman?

“Scram!” Qian Jiyun spat coldly.

With a flick of his hand, he accurately sent Ye Chenglin flying.

There were only two people left in the tent. An Jiuyue turned around and looked at the tent curtain that fluttered in the wind because of Ye Chenglin’s collision. She sighed softly.

“Why are you doing this?” She shook her head and looked up at Qian Jiyun. “She just doesn’t accept me.”

Qian Jiyun picked up his chopsticks again and did not say anything.

He would not have chased Ye Chenglin out if she was merely unwilling to accept An Jiuyue. He did not say anything, but that did not mean he did not know anything.

…

Outside the tent, Ye Chenglin fell to the ground and spat a mouthful of blood.

She clutched her chest with one hand as if still reeling from the reality of her beating.

Her master, whom she had always admired and revered, had beaten her up. Furthermore, it was because of another woman—a woman her master had only known for a short time!

How could she accept this?

She had always believed that if she worked hard enough, she could stand by his side.

But now?

He hit her and sent her to the Spirit Severing Cliff to take over Yan Nuo and Yan Jin’s mission because of that woman’s words. That place was dangerous!

If a woman like her went there, she would only have a slim chance of survival.

How can Master be so cruel to me? Because of a woman? Because he wants to please An Jiuyue?

“What’s wrong? Chenglin, what happened to you? Who hit you?”

When Ye Chengzong heard the commotion, he thought a demonic beast had attacked. When he rushed over, he saw that his sister had been beaten up instead.

He hurried forward to help her up.

“Brother, Master… hit me.”

Ye Chenglin looked at her brother aggrievedly. Tears streamed down her face as she complained about being beaten up.
