Chapter 96 His Suspicion

"Senior Brother Lin is joking."

With each word Yun Jing spoke, Mu Wanwan's unease deepened. Did he know something?

No, probably not. Given Yun Jing's personality, if he really knew that she had set him up, he wouldn't test her so subtly.

Others might hesitate to touch her because of the Mu family behind her and her master, but Yun Jing, as the ruler of the demon realm, would not.

The more Mu Wanwan thought about it, the more she felt that Yun Jing had at most sensed something was wrong, but hadn't discovered anything, which was why he said those things to test her.

Yun Jing lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions within them. "No matter what, I still want to thank Fairy Mu."

"Once we leave the Floating Life Illusion, I will definitely thank Fairy Wood properly."

Mu Wanwan was slightly taken aback; it seemed the fish had taken the bait.

Yun Jing looked up at Mu Wanwan and said, "Now that we've both regained our memories, let's leave here now."

Mu Wanwan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

The objective has been achieved, and there is indeed no need to stay here any longer.

So Mu Wanwan took out the Floating Life Mirror, formed a hand seal, and sent a wisp of spiritual energy into the mirror. Soon everything around them dissipated, and Mu Wanwan and Yun Jing instantly appeared at the banquet.

When Lu Fuyue realized that the illusion around her had disappeared, she quickly turned back into her original form and took the opportunity to hide under the table.

Yun Jing glanced under the table and saw the little golden-red phoenix sitting obediently in place, as if waiting for its owner to pet it. It looked very cute.

He bent down, picked up the little phoenix with one hand, sat down, and then continued to gently stroke the little phoenix's feathers, a dark and unfathomable glint flashing quickly in his eyes.

Little Phoenix, don't disappoint me, or I won't be lenient with you when the month is up.

Everyone present looked on with suspicion when they saw Yun Jing and Mu Wanwan emerge in the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Isn't it said that those who emerge from the Floating Illusion Realm will experience a significant increase in cultivation? Why haven't they noticed any changes in the cultivation levels of these two?

The city lord of Mucheng also looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

Mu Wanwan noticed the gazes directed at her and couldn't help but feel a little displeased. Did she, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, need to explain her actions to these people?

However, in order to maintain her image, Mu Wanwan had no choice but to face everyone and explain softly, "The purpose of the Floating Life Mirror is to allow those who enter the Floating Life Illusion to experience the seven emotions and six desires in the mortal world. The so-called increase in cultivation is nothing more than gaining enlightenment in the mortal world."

"But most of the time, enlightenment requires the right timing, the right place, and the right people."

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads. It seemed that the Floating Life Mirror had been exaggerated by the world, and was even called a celestial artifact. But after seeing it today, it was nothing special. No wonder the Mu family would bring out a celestial artifact.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Mu Wanwan's face stiffened slightly. The city lord of Mu City immediately sensed something was wrong, so he stood up and smiled to smooth things over, "There are no shortcuts in the path of cultivation. Only seclusion and arduous cultivation is the right way."

"Moreover, the reason I have gathered you all together today is to discuss issues related to cultivation. If you have any questions, please feel free to speak them out and we can discuss them together."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately realized their inappropriate behavior and began talking to those around them.

...

After the banquet, at the invitation of the city lord of Mu City, Yun Jing moved into the villa of the city lord's mansion, and would occasionally run into Mu Wanwan for several days in a row.

That day, Yun Jing, as usual, carried the little phoenix in her arms to the pavilion in the garden.

That place is where Mu Wanwan often goes.

Along the way, they encountered many maids and servants, who were already used to it. This senior Lin, who was in the Tribulation Transcending stage, had fallen in love with their master's young lady, Wanwan. In order to win the beauty's heart, he would wait here every day, just to see the young lady once.

Unfortunately, Miss Wanwan doesn't seem to like this senior.

However, this senior Lin had a very strange personality; he always held a bird that had no spirit whatsoever.

Yun Jing ignored the stares from those around her and continued walking into the garden.

However, Lu Fuyue sensed something was amiss. Yun Jing's behavior was quite abnormal. In the past few days, she hadn't seen any affection from him for Mu Wanwan. On the contrary, sometimes after Mu Wanwan left, his gaze towards her back was cold.

Could it be that he wants to get revenge on Mu Wanwan?

But with his abilities, why didn't he just take action directly?

...

For some reason, Lu Fuyue felt a vague unease, as if something was about to happen.

Suddenly, a warm, large hand gently landed on her head, and then another hand picked her up. "Little Phoenix, as far as I know, your Phoenix clan can transform into human form as long as there is sufficient spiritual energy. But you ate the Seven-Colored Immortal Lotus that I obtained with great difficulty, so why haven't you transformed into human form yet?"

"I really want to see what you look like after you transform into human form?"

"Is it as beautiful as I saw in the Floating Life Illusion this time?"

Lu Fuyue froze, not daring to move. Had he seen something, or was he just saying it casually?

Regardless, she still wanted to find a chance to escape from his side, since she had already achieved her goal.

However, out of Lu Fuyue's sight, Yun Jing's expression slowly darkened. His little pet wasn't obedient enough; it was actually hiding something from him.

If your pet is naughty, as its owner, you should naturally train it properly.

Since that's the case, after he's dealt with Mu Wanwan and Lin Han, he'll throw this disobedient little pet in his arms to that stinky bug.

...

Mu Wanwan sat in front of the bronze mirror, gently drawing her eyebrows. In the past few days, Yun Jing had invited her several times to go to the night market in Mu City. At first, in order to keep Yun Jing interested and make him pay more attention to her, she refused.

Now that the time is ripe, refusing him now might make him lose patience and become annoyed.

Therefore, when Yun Jing extended another invitation to her yesterday, she agreed.

Little did she know that tonight would be the worst night of her career crash.

The person that Immortal Venerable Linhan had arranged to be by her side told him about the growing intimacy between her and Yun Jing over the past few days.

Therefore, Immortal Venerable Linhan is on his way.

Soon after Mu Wanwan finished getting ready, she appeared at the entrance of the Mu City Lord's Mansion. Yun Jing had already been waiting there quietly for a long time, holding the little phoenix in his arms.

Seeing Mu Wanwan approaching from afar, a hint of amazement flashed in Yun Jing's eyes.

Today, Mu Wanwan specially wore a light green fairy dress, which made her look very gentle and charming.

"The Wood Fairy is acting a little differently today."
