Chapter 238 Not a good person
The matter was finally settled, and the haze over Juling City seemed to have dissipated.
Ling Jiuan, Lei Tingyi and others stood at the city gate, ready to leave this city full of stories.
Before setting off, Ling Jiuan couldn't help but look back at Sikong Wen behind him, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
"City Lord Sikong!"
She spoke slowly, with some emotion in her voice?
"Whether it was a moment of confusion or a borrowed knife to kill someone, the past is gone. Now Sikong Yun and Chang Qing have both been brought to justice. I only hope that you can truly let go of the past, think about the people of Juling City, and bring this city back to life."
When Sikong Wen heard this, his expression changed slightly. He looked at Ling Jiuan deeply, then cupped his hands, speaking in a sincere tone.
"I will keep your words in mind. I will live up to your expectations and work for the well-being of the people of Juling City."
On the side, Uncle Zhong and Zhong Qi also came forward. They bowed to Lei Tingyi with respect in their eyes.
"Young Master, now that the matter is settled, we should go back. The Lei Xiao Sect still needs our care."
Lei Tingyi nodded, a faint smile on his face.
"You guys go now. I still need to travel and train with Jiuan and the others. When the time is right, I will break through to the Spiritual Transformation and return to the Leixiao Sect."
Uncle Zhong and Zhong Qi smiled at each other, with anticipation glittering in their eyes.
“I wish the young master to break through to the God Transformation as soon as possible and achieve extraordinary success!”
After saying that, the two of them made a hand gesture and left. Their figures gradually disappeared into the air, leaving only a faint glow behind.
Ling Jiuan looked at their backs and felt inexplicably moved.
She turned and looked at Lei Tingyi.
It’s time for us to set off.”
Lei Tingyi smiled slightly.
"The day we break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage will be the day for me to return to the Leixiao Sect!"
After leaving Juling City, the group embarked on a journey to unknown areas.
The sun shone on them, bringing a hint of warmth.
As Chen Yan was walking, he suddenly put his arms around Ling Jiuan's neck and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Jiuan, what exactly did you mean by what you said to Sikong Wen? Isn't Sikong Wen a good person?"
Ling Jiuan was amused by his sudden action. She gently patted Chen Yan's hand, signaling him to let go.
"You, don't be so nervous. Sikong Wen is not a good person in the traditional sense. He also has his own calculations and conspiracies. However, the people of Juling City seem to love him very much, which should mean that he is doing a good job as a city lord."
Chen Yan frowned when he heard this, obviously still a little confused.
"So is he good or bad? Why do I feel so complicated?"
Ling Jiuan smiled, with a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
"Sometimes it's not so easy to distinguish between good and bad. Si Kongwen has his own stance and choices. He may have done some bad things, but we can't deny his efforts for Juling City. We just need to remember that everyone has their own complexities, and don't judge others easily."
Chen Yan listened to Ling Jiuan's words and nodded thoughtfully. He loosened his arms around Ling Jiuan's neck and patted her shoulder gently.
"You're right, Jiuan. I'm too simple and sometimes can't see these complicated things clearly. However, with you by my side, I feel that everything has become much simpler."
When Ling Jiuan heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
She smiled, glanced at Chen Yan, then turned around and continued walking.
"Then let's see the world clearly and grow together."
Lei Tingyi walked in front, glancing from time to time at Chen Yan's hand on Ling Jiuan's shoulder, and a feeling of displeasure inexplicably welled up in his heart.
He frowned, his face looked very unpleasant, and he remained silent all the way.
Chen Yan was completely immersed in the conversation with Ling Jiuan and did not notice Lei Tingyi's abnormality.
He just felt a chill on his neck and couldn't help looking around in confusion.
"Is there any danger nearby? Why do I feel something is wrong?"
Liu Zhu and Liu Ying on the side smiled at each other. They had already seen Lei Tingyi's dissatisfaction.
Liu Zhu chuckled and spoke.
"Master Chen, you have been hugging our master all the way. Men and women should not touch each other. Please be careful about your distance."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized his mistake.
He quickly let go of his hand on Ling Jiuan's shoulder and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Sorry, sorry, I was so rude."
Ling Jiuan couldn't help laughing when he looked at Chen Yan's appearance.
She patted Chen Yan on the back.
"It's okay, we are friends, there's no need to be so reserved. However, you still have to be more careful next time."
This era is different after all.
After all, Chen Yan will definitely get married in the future, so he has to be somewhat sensible.
Lei Tingyi's expression then eased a little. He glanced at Ling Jiuan, a hint of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.
Then he turned and continued walking without saying anything else.
Ling Jiuan noticed that Lei Tingyi had been silent and walking in front, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.
She quickened her pace, walked to Lei Tingyi, and asked softly.
"Lei Tingyi, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood? Or has something happened?"
Lei Tingyi shook his head and forced a smile.
"It's okay, I'm just thinking about something. According to the markings on the map, there is a cave ahead. We can rest there tonight and continue on tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan nodded to show his understanding.
She glanced at Lei Tingyi and thought to herself that maybe he was worried about something, or had something on his mind.
However, she did not ask any more questions. After all, everyone has their own privacy and space.
"Okay, let's go to the cave and rest. Everyone is tired and needs a good rest."
Ling Jiuan said this, turned around and looked at the others, signaling them to speed up as well.
The group continued to move forward and soon arrived in front of a cave.
The cave was spacious and bright, with some hay and firewood inside. It was obviously a good place to rest.
Everyone entered the cave and started to get busy.
Some people made a fire to cook, while others spread hay to sleep.
Ling Jiuan walked to Lei Tingyi and asked softly.
"Are you really okay? If you need help or anything to talk to, feel free to tell me."
Lei Tingyi looked at Ling Jiuan's concerned eyes and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He smiled slightly and nodded.
"Thank you, Jiuan. I'm really fine, just a little worried. Don't worry about me, I will adjust myself."
Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan nodded with relief.
She patted Lei Tingyi on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.
"That's good. We are traveling together. No matter what difficulties or worries we encounter, we can share and solve them together. So, don't take on too much alone."
