Chapter 386 Black Heart
But he still stubbornly looked into her eyes and asked, "And you?"
Yan Jinyi, hiding in the shadows, could no longer bear to listen. He had witnessed all those beautiful scenes.
It's unclear whether it was out of a desire to protect Chang Yu Muling, or because she didn't want Zhongli Yueluo to reveal the answer.
Even if it's a lie to Changyu and Muling, he doesn't want to hear it!
"Hey, Changyu Muling, I have something to tell her."
It can really startle someone if it suddenly appears out of the shadows.
It shattered all the courage he had painstakingly accumulated.
Zhongli Yueluo, however, remained calm and composed, as if she knew he had been nearby all along.
After all, over the past hundred years, he had come into contact with Zhongli Yueluo from time to time, and she would always "torture" him.
He had known Zhongli Yueluo's true colors for a long time.
But she never showed that true nature to them.
Perhaps it was too real, but he even found himself somewhat perversely enjoying seeing her face.
When Chang Yu Muling heard Yan Jinyi say this, he was unwilling to leave and even pressed for more information.
"Brother Jin Yi, what do you need to see Yue Luo about?"
"I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to tell you about what happened between her and me. You should go back to your seat quickly."
Yan Jinyi's reply left everyone speechless.
Chang Yu Muling glanced at Zhongli Yueluo: "The pastries at today's banquet are very sweet; I'll save some for you."
"Okay, go ahead, but leave some more." Her smile was beautiful, yet distant.
Watching Chang Yu and Mu Ling's departing figures, Yan Jinyi slowly approached Zhong Li Yueluo.
He wanted to reach out and put his hand on her shoulder, but then he put his hand behind his back.
His feelings for her were indescribable; they were fear, desire, or something else entirely.
"Hey, do you think your methods are so clever? That you can manipulate everyone?"
Over the years, he and Zhongli Yueluo have gradually become more direct in their speech.
Sometimes they even exchange barbs and veiled insults.
"Changyu is earth, Qianqiu is wood, and you are metal, isn't that good?"
Zhongli Yueluo sat casually on the stool, crossing her legs.
They no longer pretended to be innocent and harmless.
Instead, she smiled and tossed her hair while staring at Yan Jinyi.
"Fine, very fine, but why should we listen to you, and why will the rest of you listen to you too?"
She shook her head, casually fiddling with her fingers, then suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him coldly.
"Why wouldn't they be willing if the temptation was right?"
Yan Jinyi snorted coldly, leaned against a pillar in the corridor, and reached out to pluck a flower.
Strangely enough, the flower closed up and turned into a bud immediately after leaving the vine.
"This flower should be called Moonfall."
Zhongli Yueluo tapped her fingers lightly on the stool, making a rhythmic sound.
"I don't want to hear this nonsense from you."
“I said, although Changyu Muling seems innocent by nature, even rabbits are bloodthirsty.”
"Aren't you afraid that he'll hate you to the core after he finds out the truth?!"
"Oh? Is that so? I'm nobody to him. Besides, whether I used him or not is none of your business, Yan Jinyi."
The smile on Zhongli Yueluo's face gradually disappeared, and her lips pursed into a line.
Yan Jinyi snorted coldly: "I just want to tell you that threatening me won't work. I know too many of your secrets."
"I think you might have something else on your mind."
"The bridge between us isn't something you can just break off like that."
Zhongli Yueluo casually picked a leaf from the side and put it to her mouth, and Yan Jinyi panicked.
He frowned. Zhongli Yueluo always treated him like this, and without any mercy.
"Aren't you going to tell the truth?" Zhongli Yueluo held the leaf in her hand, her expression somewhat amused.
"It's one thing for you to use me and Qianqiu, but Changyu, while you're eyeing him, others are too."
Zhongli Yueluo's lips curled up slightly.
It seems that Yan Jinyi has also noticed the actions behind Chang Yuxuanyuan's back.
"How much do you know?" He placed his hand on his cheek, shifting to a more comfortable position.
"Almost the same as you."
Zhongli Yueluo nodded, put the leaf in her hand to her lips and blew on it, and Yan Jinyi subconsciously covered her ears.
But nothing happened.
"you!"
"What's wrong? You're bored and want to play a tune? Why are you so scared?"
Her voice was clear and crisp, but her eyes were full of teasing.
"You, I, Yan Jinyi, have been completely ruined by you in this life."
Zhongli Yuelu casually tossed the leaf to the ground and shook her finger: "Life is too long, don't be so sure of yourself."
"I think it's good to have such a connection with her for life."
"Mainly, I don't want to. I don't want others to link their lives to me, because that would make me carry too much of a burden."
Zhongli Yueluo stood up and moved closer to him, while Yan Jinyi leaned against the wooden pole without moving.
"What do you want to do!"
"I will create an opportunity for you to become the successor of King Jin, and there will be no accident, only inevitability."
Why do you insist on pushing me into that position?
Yan Jinyi was unwilling, but he still wanted to compete with Yan Ruoyu.
"You don't want to?"
Zhongli Yueluo's hand had already landed on his shoulder, and he trembled.
He's already a head taller than Zhongli Yueluo, but he still feels intimidated!
He didn't answer, and even tried to reach out to touch Zhongli Yueluo's eyes, causing her to take a step back in disgust.
To be honest, her actions deeply hurt Yan Jinyi.
They clearly have similar abilities and look alike.
But she insisted on choosing Yan Ruoyu!
She would even give perfunctory treatment to the Changyu and Qianqiu clans, but she truly revealed her ugly side to him.
He insisted!
Just as he reached out to touch her hair, a loud "snap!" echoed through the night sky.
Zhongli Yueluo's hand struck his palm hard.
"You're overstepping your bounds!"
Zhongli Yueluo's eyes were like ice.
"Ha! I knew you'd have this attitude all along. I just wanted to test your limits time and time again!"
Yan Jinyi's expression showed a hint of anger, but it was to conceal the immense disappointment in her heart.
"There's no need for all those roundabout ways between us."
“You know me, I know you, and I can pave a smooth road for you.”
Zhongli Yuelu straightened her sleeves and looked at him, without the slightest hint of ambiguity.
"Yue Luo! Sometimes I really want to open your heart and see what color it is."
Zhongli Yuelu patted her chest, even with a hint of pride: "Black!"
Yan Jinyi laughed self-deprecatingly: "I think so too, heartless and black-hearted!"
Zhongli Yueluo ignored him, and he handed her a note before leaving.
Zhongli Yueluo opened the note and found it to be a tattered page, on which was written the forbidden technique of soul swapping.
She clutched it in her hand, wondering what Chang Yu and Mu Ling would do if they knew the truth.
Then, on her way back to the middle of the table, she encountered Huo Jun and Su Nianhui.
