Ji Lianxing didn't think much about it and casually said, "It's fine, I've touched it before..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a chill down her spine, her hair standing on end.
Before she could react, her body suddenly froze, standing still like a sculpture.
"Daoist Venerable, what are you doing?" Ji Lianxing looked bewildered.
Ji Hongxiu stepped forward and snatched Chen Mo away from her, her face icy, her gaze piercing, "Touched before? So what's the real relationship between you two?"
∑(O_O;)
Ji Lianxing suddenly snapped back to reality.
Only then did she recall, back at the Chen Mansion, she had eavesdropped on some private conversations of Ling Ningzhi and Chen Mo... Among them, it was mentioned that the Daoist Venerable not only slept with Chen Mo but also had a session with the master and student, three people sharing a bed!
"Oh no, how could I forget about that!"
"I'm really shooting myself in the foot!"
Ji Lianxing broke out in a cold sweat.
The person before her was the Ultimate Venerable, if she truly offended them, she'd die not knowing how it happened!
Let alone she'd hoped to rely on the Tianshu Pavilion's power to confront Consort Yu and rebuild the Sect! Now instead of strengthening their relationship, she'd been flagged as a romantic rival instead?!
"Dao, Daoist Venerable, you've misunderstood, it's not what you think!" Ji Lianxing was so nervous she spoke incoherently, stammering, "Chen Mo and I are just cooperating, each taking what is needed. He gives me silver notes, I help him clean guns... no, I mean, help him raise cats..."
"Snatching this Dharma Conch from Monk Huineng, I suppose you took quite a risk?" Ji Hongxiu narrowed her eyes slightly, saying, "To avoid being detected by Wuwan Temple, you had to maintain the paperman form, lacking even the basic self-defense capabilities..."
"How much silver did Chen Mo give you to make it worthwhile?"
"I..."
Ji Lianxing was at a loss for words.
After a moment's hesitation, she said in a low voice, "He saved my life, more than once, I'm just returning the favor."
Well, well, another familiar plot.
Back then, wasn't Ling Ningzhi saved by Chen Mo and then completely fell for him, unable to extricate herself?
