My Lord.

Chapter 125 is indeed different.

Chapter 125 is indeed different.

Yi Yan seemed a little tired. He sat down on the stool and said, "You've been in a coma for a few days, but you've become quite polite. No need to thank me. If I hadn't taken you to Beichuan, you wouldn't have caught a chill."

"Are you blaming yourself? There's absolutely no need! I'm all better now!" Liu Ruxuan said, patting her chest. Suddenly, she felt her hand go empty—the jade pendant in her bosom was gone! She quickly checked her waist, but it wasn't there either!

"Ah! I've lost something!" Liu Ruxuan panicked. It was a gift from Dugu Juechen; how could she lose it?!

"Is this what you're looking for?" Yi Yan said, taking out a jade pendant from his sleeve, which was Liu Ruxuan's.

"How did it end up with you? Give it back to me!" Liu Ruxuan stepped forward to snatch it, but Yi Yan pulled back, avoiding Liu Ruxuan's hand.

"Who are you to Dugu Juechen?" Yi Yan asked, looking at the jade pendant in his hand. Liu Ruxuan remained silent, glaring at Yi Yan resentfully. Yi Yan continued, "Disciple? That shouldn't be possible, you ran away on your own. Could it be, his sweetheart?"

"No way!" Liu Ruxuan snatched the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and put it on again only after confirming that it was intact. "Yi Yan, I'm warning you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

"Look at you, you little brat, getting all worked up. Did I hit the nail on the head?" Yi Yan laughed.

"I have no relationship with him whatsoever. Besides, as the leader of the cult, you should know that cult leaders cannot marry, shouldn't you?" Liu Ruxuan said, pretending to be indifferent, as she sat opposite Yi Yan.

Yi Yan smiled and said, "That's right. The leader cannot marry, and the position of leader cannot be passed on to his children. The reason for not allowing him to marry is to prevent such situations from happening in the first place. If he has someone he loves, it depends on whether that person is willing to give up everything."

If that's really the case, then leaving him was the right thing to do. Liu Ruxuan didn't want Dugu Juechen to give up such a promising future for her.

"I'm tired, you can leave." Liu Ruxuan didn't want to say anything more, but Yi Yan showed no sign of leaving: "Miss Liu, this is...my...room!"

……

"What's wrong with you? I've been 'sleeping' here for three days and three nights, can't I sleep a little longer?" Liu Ruxuan was just that willful!

"You've been hogging my room, and I haven't been able to sleep for three days and three nights!" Yi Yan said, sounding quite aggrieved. Liu Ruxuan immediately backed down: "Um, thank you for your trouble. You should go to sleep. I'll ask Qing to find me another guest room." With that, she left, and Yi Yan didn't stop her.

Yi Yan stood up, looking in the direction Liu Ruxuan had left: "She is indeed an extraordinary woman. No wonder Dugu Juechen took a liking to her. Heh, Dugu Juechen, I have no interest in your position in the Heavenly Spirit Sect, but I, Yi Yan, will definitely fight for this Miss Liu!"

"It's been six days, and we've searched the entire Nine Lakes Continent, but we still can't find Ru Xuan." Ye Liuli said solemnly as she stood in front of Ye Li, Ye Muxiao, and Xi Yue.

"Now even the leader of the Dugu Sect has disappeared without a trace." Ye Li sighed.

"If it weren't for Mother, this situation wouldn't have happened." Although Ye Liuli blamed Lu Zhen, she couldn't hate her.

"Where did the Dugu Cult Leader go?" Ye Muxiao asked the most important question.

Following the faint trace of Liu Ruxuan's presence, Dugu Juechen arrived at Beichuan and settled in the very center. At this moment, snowflakes were falling from the sky, covering everything, and the cold wind was howling, erasing all traces of Liu Ruxuan's presence.

A few snowflakes drifted down Dugu Juechen's hair. He looked at the white, misty island, his brows furrowed. "Xuan'er, what are you doing here? Where are you now?"
