151: Change of prophecy: On the way to the wedding, she took poison and died

That night.

Su Xiaobai returned to his own courtyard.

Dongfang Qian Yue went to find Bing Ling and didn't let him follow.

She said there were some things she wanted to tell Revered Master, and it was inconvenient with him there.

He sat on the bed, his mood heavy, an indescribable feeling.

Upon hearing that Dongfang Qian Yue was going to be a concubine to Wang Shouyang, he felt a rage burning in his heart, almost tearing apart his reason, desperately wanting to rip Wang Shouyang to shreds!

“What… what’s wrong with me?” He held his forehead, his face somewhat distorted, unable to believe such emotions could appear within him.

As an egoist, he deeply knew that such emotion, which drowned out reason, should not appear within him.

But… he just couldn’t control it…

“Junior Brother, have you rested? May I come in?” Dongfang Qian Yue’s voice came from outside the door.

This time, she didn’t directly burst in, but instead softly asked Su Xiaobai… which was completely unlike her usual self.

Su Xiaobai took a deep breath, composed himself, and responded, “I’m not asleep, Senior Sister, please come in directly.”

Creak…

The door opened, and Dongfang Qian Yue walked in, holding a bowl of chicken soup, with hot white steam rising from it, clearly freshly made.

“This is chicken soup I just made. My cooking isn’t as good as yours, it’s just barely edible. Would you like to try some?”

She placed the chicken soup on the table, served Su Xiaobai a bowl, and even put his favorite chicken tail in it before handing it to him.

Su Xiaobai looked up, seeing her with a smile in her eyes, his heart a mix of emotions.

He took the chicken soup but didn't drink it, saying in a deep voice, “Senior Sister, tell me honestly, did that scoundrel Wang Shouyang threaten you into agreeing to be his concubine?”

Dongfang Qian Yue paused, then gave him an annoyed glare, and sat beside him, whispering, “How can it be as complicated as you think? Actually… he’s not as bad as you imagine.

At least he has promised me he won’t lay a hand on the female Disciples of the Sect again, and the peak Revered Masters and Disciples who were besieging Ghost Gate Sect have also been recalled, so there won’t be any more casualties.”

Su Xiaobai didn’t speak, but when he heard Dongfang Qian Yue speaking up for Wang Shouyang, a sudden sharp pain shot through his chest, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing through him.

Dongfang Qian Yue continued, “Although I’ll be a concubine, with his status and position, the resources I can obtain will be far greater than what I could get in Profound Moon Sect.”

“If you come to Central Continent in the future, maybe I can even look after you a bit?” she teased.

“I don’t need that kind of care!” Su Xiaobai stood up, grabbing her shoulders with both hands, his eyes fixed on her, “That man is lecherous by nature, definitely not a good match. If you’re with him, you’ll live in a nightmare forever!”

“Being with such a scumbag is worse than staying by my side!”

Dongfang Qian Yue looked at him in a daze. This was the first time she had seen such serious, such angry emotions on his face.

For some reason, there was a hint of joy in her heart, but…

She pushed his hands away, distancing herself, “Junior Brother, you’ve overstepped.

We are just Senior Sister and Junior Brother. Now that I am about to become someone else’s concubine, some emotions should not exist; it’s better for both of us.”

Su Xiaobai unconsciously took two steps back. That instant of estrangement tore at his heart.

At this moment, Dongfang Qian Yue took off the spatial ring from her hand and placed it on the table.

“These are the resources I’ve accumulated over the years. For you, it should be a considerable income.

After I go to Central Continent, we probably won’t see each other again. This is the last thing Senior Sister… can do for you…”

Su Xiaobai: “…”

“Oh, right,” Dongfang Qian Yue seemed to remember something, looking at him seriously, “What happened between you and me, you absolutely cannot tell anyone, or your life will be in danger.”

Su Xiaobai still didn’t speak, or rather, he simply didn’t know what to say, or in what capacity to say it…

Silence fell.

“It looks like it’s about to rain. I should go.” Dongfang Qian Yue looked out the window. The starlight was already covered by dark clouds; a mountain storm was brewing.

“With my current status, staying here with you will lead to gossip.

I’m truly sorry for making you worried for so long before.” Her eyes drooped, apologizing.

“However,” she suddenly turned, looking at him with a smile, “you don’t have to worry anymore. Because in three days, I’ll be leaving. At that time, remember to come and see me off.”

She smiled very brightly, as if very happy. It was hard to imagine such a smile appearing on her usually ice-cold face.

But this smiling face, at this moment, was like a sharp spear, piercing Su Xiaobai’s heart, because that smiling face was for someone else.

“I’m leaving… Goodbye.”

Dongfang Qian Yue closed the door.

After walking out of the small courtyard, the smile on her face gradually faded, and a tear trace slid down her delicate cheek, dripping onto the ground.

“Goodbye…”

In the air, a soft whisper seemed to echo.

Inside the room.

Su Xiaobai sat blankly on the edge of the bed, as if his soul had been captured by a devil, his expression numb.

He had never imagined that one day, he would lose control of his mind because of a single sentence from someone.

He just sat there blankly, not knowing for how long.

Suddenly, a white light shone from his chest, and the Book of Heaven floated out from his body, standing before him.

Su Xiaobai numbly raised his head. This was the second time the Book of Heaven had appeared on its own; the first time was when he was undergoing his Lightning Tribulation.

But there was no joy or shock on his face.

The Book of Heaven kept turning pages, arriving at a blank page, where a string of golden characters appeared.

Su Xiaobai had seen that page before; it was the page that recorded Dongfang Qian Yue.

But now, the text on that page began to change. The page, once full of characters, now only had a few scattered lines.

And the last eight words: On the way to her marriage, she took poison… and died!

Clang!

Su Xiaobai suddenly stood up, and the chicken soup filled by Dongfang Qian Yue spilled all over the floor.

“What in the world is this woman thinking?!” He was emotional, his body trembling, his pupils shaking violently.

He strode out the door and rushed towards Dongfang Qian Yue’s courtyard.

…

In Dongfang Qian Yue’s courtyard.

Outside, heavy rain was already pouring. Dongfang Qian Yue sat by the window, hugging her knees, her clear eyes gazing outside, appreciating the rain curtain.

Clang! Clang!

Suddenly, the door was violently knocked.

“Who is it?” Dongfang Qian Yue’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

“It’s me!” Su Xiaobai’s anxious voice came from outside the door.

“Why is he still here?” Dongfang Qian Yue wondered in her heart. She thought she had made herself very clear, hadn’t she?

But she still got up and walked towards the door, opening it.

Outside, Su Xiaobai was soaked. Seeing Dongfang Qian Yue, he directly grabbed her hand and walked towards outside the house.

Dongfang Qian Yue’s beautiful eyes widened. Before she could react, she was pulled out by him.
