Wasn't Ye Chen locked in the dungeon?
How could he appear here? Did he escape?
A series of questions filled Su Qingge's mind, causing her brows to furrow slightly.
However, Ye Chen clearly didn't notice this detail.
After his Master, Yan Ji, used the Soul Gathering Pill, Ye Chen's residual soul state improved, allowing him to escape from the dungeon. But the first thing Ye Chen did after escaping wasn't to leave the Tai Xuan Sacred Land; instead, he came to the Saintess Hall to find Su Qingge.
With Yan Ji's help, he managed to sneak in here without incident.
However, Ye Chen was surprised to find that Su Qingge, who usually cultivated in the palace, was not here.
This made him uneasy, and he started to overthink things.
Could she have been forced by Gu Changge and already moved in with him?
The thought caused him great pain, and he waited with that feeling in his heart.
Fortunately, he had finally seen Su Qingge.
"Qingge, you must have had a hard time recently..."
Ye Chen spoke, but halfway through, he couldn't continue.
Su Qingge didn't look the slightest bit haggard. She was still as she had been before.
Her beauty was stunning, like flowers reflected in water, breathtakingly beautiful.
Ye Chen had originally wanted to ask where she had been, but he didn't know how to start.
Su Qingge, in her current state, didn't seem like she had been living poorly at all.
Hearing this, Su Qingge's brows remained furrowed. She didn't respond but instead asked, "Ye Chen, how did you get here?"
"Don't ask about that. I don't have time to explain. Qingge, I'll take you away from the Tai Xuan Sacred Land right now and get you out of this hellish place."
Ye Chen said, and as he spoke, he reached out to grab Su Qingge.
In his view, Su Qingge had always been forced by her father and Gu Changge, and even the entire Tai Xuan Sacred Land was pressuring her.
She had no choice.
He could understand that.
This place was her prison, a fire pit.
She would never be happy here.
Only when she was with him, practicing together, did she show that pure and flawless smile.
Su Qingge stepped back, avoiding Ye Chen's hand from touching her sleeve.
Her brows remained furrowed, and her cold voice carried a hint of anger, "Ye Chen, I will not leave the Tai Xuan Sacred Land. How many times do I have to say this before you understand?"
"You won't leave? Then I'll take you by force. If Gu Changge is pressuring you, I won't force you."
At this moment, Ye Chen didn't care about anything else. His words were domineering, and he even planned to act forcibly.
Time was tight. If the elders of the Tai Xuan Sacred Land found out, it would be very difficult to escape.
"You don't want me to make a move against you? Since we have past ties, I'll pretend today's events never happened."
"With your current strength, you are no match for me."
Su Qingge said, her expression returning to calm.
She was at the Realm of Divine Power (Shentongjing), even stronger than the current Tai Xuan Saint Son, Chu Xuan.
Ye Chen was only at the Soul Palace Realm, so it would be difficult for him to defeat her.
If any noise was made, it would surely attract the other elders.
"Qingge, how can you be so stubborn at this point? Have you really surrendered under Gu Changge's pressure?"
Ye Chen's voice was filled with disbelief and pain.
Who knew what had happened between Su Qingge and Gu Changge during the time he was imprisoned?
Su Qingge's expression was calm and indifferent as she said, "Young Master Gu has never forced me. Everything has been my own choice. Ye Chen, stop overthinking. Although Young Master Gu is not perfect, he's not as bad as you think."
"Until now, I'm still pure. Young Master Gu has never touched me. That is the best proof."
As she spoke, her voice even carried a hint of self-mockery.
"On the contrary, it's me with impure thoughts, always trying to win his affection."
She was also planning to take this opportunity to confess everything to Ye Chen, clearing up any misunderstandings so that he wouldn't keep pestering her.
"My character isn't that bad?"
Outside the hall.
Upon hearing these words, Gu Changge, who had been hiding and watching the scene with great interest, suddenly smiled in an inexplicable way.
He never expected to be struck by a random verbal jab.
But speaking of it, Su Qingge had overestimated her own character a bit.
The so-called self-delusion was truly fatal.
Gu Changge was fully aware of Ye Chen's every move and naturally knew where he would go after leaving the dungeon.
This drama between the male and female leads was something Gu Changge had been eagerly awaiting.
At least, up until now, Su Qingge hadn't disappointed him.
"Ding, Ye Chen and the female lead have finally parted ways. Fate value lost 50 points, Destiny value increased by 250 points."
At that moment, the system's prompt sounded, and Gu Changge's smile deepened.
Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen.
You were once a son of great fortune, but now you're almost ruining yourself.
Inside the hall, hearing Su Qingge's confession that Gu Changge hadn't touched her, Ye Chen was overjoyed, his previous frustration and anger completely dissipating.
However, the next words caused him to stand frozen in shock.
It was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
He was completely stunned.
"What?!"
So, Su Qingge was the one with impure thoughts, trying to win Gu Changge's affection?
His head buzzed, unable to believe his ears.
"Sigh, I told you, Xiao Chen's prejudice against Young Master Gu is too deep..."
In the ring, Yan Ji sat cross-legged in the void, her black hair flowing, resting her head on her hand, looking a bit bored.
Thanks to the Soul Gathering Pill, her form had solidified much more.
She had been watching everything happening outside.
Su Qingge's actions were understandable.
After all, Young Master Gu was just too attractive to women.
Outstanding in appearance, powerful in strength, and with a terrifying background...
