2431 What Happens if He’s Jealous

She understood the Thirteen Yue Guards very well. If she didn’t have absolute confidence, Xiao Ba would not enter.

Even though Chu Liuyue wasn’t entirely sure where the confidence came from, she trusted Xiao Ba. As for Jian Fengchi…

Chu Liuyue tilted her head and looked at Mu Hongyu beside her.

At this point, Mu Hongyu furrowed her brows and glared at Jian Fengchi. Realizing that something was amiss, she immediately turned around in confusion. “Liuyue, why are you looking at me?”

Chu Liuyue shook her head and sighed. “Nothing much. I just feel that Eldest Young Master Jian has really spent a lot of effort… to marry his wife. He doesn’t even care about his life.”

Tsk, he’s really risking it all.

Mu Hongyu’s face instantly turned red. “Y-you, don’t talk nonsense!”

Even though she said this, worry still flashed across her eyes. “I-is this life-and-death challenge… really very dangerous?”

Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Why did you ask this?”

Mu Hongyu pouted.

Chu Liuyue knew that she was worried about Jian Fengchi, so she did not tease her and said, “Don’t worry. Although Jian Fengchi broke through to become a Supreme Physician not long ago, he’s very talented in this area and has a good chance of winning.”

He was a heavenly doctor that grew up over the years by being beaten by me. How could ordinary people compare to him?

If Jian Fengchi knew what Chu Liuyue was thinking at this point, he would definitely vomit blood.

However, this made Mu Hongyu relax and secretly heave a sigh of relief.

…

The few of them stood at the heavenly doctor competition arena.

Jian Fengchi first glanced at Mu Hongyu. Naturally, he heard the conversation between her and Chu Liuyue, and he smiled. Someone is really as soft-hearted as usual.

He quietly asked, “Xiao Ba, the Fifth Deity said that this life-and-death challenge is done with all the heavenly doctors at once. Does that mean… our opponent is the same?”

“Is there a need to ask?” Xiao Ba glanced at him.

Heavenly doctors and warriors were different. If they wanted to see who was good, they didn’t have to battle one by one and could just produce pills.

As long as they produced a pill with a higher standard and better medicinal effects, they would naturally win.

“Then, the candidate…” Jian Fengchi suddenly thought of something, and his eyelids twitched harshly. “Wouldn’t there be nobody else for this?!”

Out of the 13 deities, only the Eighth Deity—Shu Jing—was a heavenly doctor!

Xiao Ba deeply said, “You didn’t only think of this now, right?”

Jian Fengchi was speechless. Previously, I just thought of entering to find Mu Hongyu. Why would I think so much?

Xiao Ba smiled brightly. “See, isn’t she here?”

Jian Fengchi looked up and saw Shu Jing walking over.

His forehead twitched. Then, he suddenly glanced at Xiao Ba and lowered his voice to ask, “You did it on purpose?!”

She definitely knew that she would go against Shu Jing in this round, so she was tempted to try! She is most likely waiting for this chance to properly fight against Shu Jing!

Xiao Ba blinked innocently. “How am I? Master is here. How can I not come?”

Dealing with Shu Jing… is just convenient.

Jian Fengchi rubbed his face. I have a prediction… that I will definitely see a huge battle today!

…

Without anyone inviting her, Shu Jing came over herself. She was in charge of the medicinal mountain, so she was naturally the most suitable candidate to participate in this life-and-death challenge.

She went up to the arena, and her gaze calmly swept past Xiao Ba, Jian Fengchi, and the rest before finally landing on Liang He.

She shook her head. “Liang He, you’ve disappointed me greatly.”

Liang He instantly looked guilty. The Eighth Deity was nice to him and took care of him quite a bit, but… he did not cherish it.

“Why must you do this for a woman?” said Shu Jing lightly.

Once she said this, the crowd fell silent.

Quite a few people instinctively looked at Xiao Ba.

There was no need to mention who she referred to. Other than Xiao Ba, there was nobody else.

Even though everyone knew that Liang He failed in pursuing Xiao Ba, Shu Jing’s words were undoubtedly implying secretly that Xiao Ba caused Liang He to fall to this state. She was scolding her in a roundabout manner.

Liang He instantly looked embarrassed. “Eighth Deity, I… This is all my fault. I-it has nothing to do with other people…”

Shu Jing shook her head, and mockery flashed across her eyes. “At this point, you’re still thinking for other people? Why don’t you think about what you’ve become in a mere few months? You’re devastated over her, but she’s not even willing to look at you.”

Liang He’s face flashed white and red.

He instinctively looked at Xiao Ba and wanted to explain further. However, the more anxious he was, the more he could not say it.

At this point, Xiao Ba suddenly chuckled. “Eighth Deity, why don’t I understand what you mean?”

Shu Jing lifted her chin slightly. “It’s fine if others don’t know, but you know it the clearest.”

Xiao Ba crossed her arms and smiled brightly. “It seems like the Eighth Deity has a deep misunderstanding toward me. Since this is so, let’s take this chance today to make it clear. Liang He, say it yourself—did I let you down in any way?”

“N-no…”

“At the very beginning, I had already clearly told you that I liked someone else, but you kept finding me again and again. I’ve been very kind, and I didn’t pursue it. Why are you playing the blame game now?”

She shrugged her shoulders and blinked genuinely. “Liang He, Eighth Deity, I have to clear my name today. If not, what would happen if Brother Yan Qing hears it and gets jealous and angry?”
