Chapter 390: Chapter 390

At Green Cloud Immortal Sect.

“Father, you’re finally back,” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “How’s everything?”

“Father, don’t worry. Everything is fine, but Sacred Sect is making troubles again. These days, its three strongholds in our territory have been destroyed by us.”

“I heard that it has built many strongholds in the territory of Heavenly God Sect, which lost a Nascent Soul in the battle. However, it takes time for Sacred Sect to regain their power. They have suffered a huge loss recently, and they hide themselves again.”

Xiao Jinting nodded in understanding.

“By the way, Father, you said that Luo Luting might have set up Xu’er. Is it true?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.

Xiao Jinting smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m not sure. When I saw her, I got suspicious.”

Xiao Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and said, “That woman seems to have a fishy relationship with Qiao Xiang long ago. It is likely that she planned the kidnap to win him back.” Luo Yuting didn’t have an outstanding aptitude, nor did she have dazzling beauty, but Xiao Xiang gave her a grand wedding. She is a scheming woman.”

“That’s true, but it’s only a guess.”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded, “Yeah, we’ll see after we test her.”

Xiao Jinting sighed and said, “Qiao Xiang is not a faithful man. He has changed after the trip to Sky City, where there are countless beauties that he has never seen in Peerless Sect. Now that he has opened his eye, Luo Yuting is losing him.”

Xiao Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and said, “Anyway, I have to confirm it.”

“Keep a low profile,” Xiao Jinting instructed.

“I know. By the way, Father, I heard that something unusual had happened in Sky City. Someone healed Bing Ning’s Physique of Ice without exposing his identity.” Xiao Xiaodong said tentatively.

Xiao Jinting smiled bitterly and said, “I have to keep a low profile because my cultivation level is too low.”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded in understanding.

Xiao Jinting patted Xiao Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, “I’ll cultivate in seclusion soon, and I won’t come out until I advance to Nascent Soul.”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Father. I will take care of our family.”

“I’m not worried when you are around,” Xiao Jinting said.

Xiao Xiaodong gave a faint smile.

…

Not long after Xiao Jinting went into seclusion, Xiao Xiaodong found an opportunity to lure Luo Yuting out. He cast a spell on her and made her tell the truth. He found that she had planned Chen Xu’s kidnap.

After he figured out what had happened, Xiao Xiaodong didn’t tell anyone. He tamed a flying demonic beast and ordered it to scratch Luo Yuting’s face.

Qiao Xiang’s affection for her had worn out, and he cast her away after her face was disfigured.

At Peerless Sect.

“Senior Luo is unlucky. Her face is disfigured.”

“Why do you pity her? Even if she’s disfigured, Mr. Qiao doesn’t abandon her.”

“Mr. Qiao is a Golden Core, while she is only a Foundation Establishment. Even if she isn’t disfigured, she’s getting older.”

“That’s right. It is shameless of her to keep Mr. Qiao to her own.”

…

Luo Yuting hid in the room and listened to the cultivators gossiping outside, digging her fingernails into her palms.

Ever since they came back from Sky City, Qiao Xiang had pretended to pamper her. In fact, he was unusually cold to her. Others thought she had taken advantage of him, and they didn’t know Qiao Xiang had become tightfisted since he came back from Sky City. He even snatched treasures from her.

The allowances from the Sect were not enough for cultivation, and Luo Yuting had no choice but to go out and take on tasks.

Luo Yuting clearly remembered that one day, she was attacked and she lost her memory, but she wasn’t injured. A few days after that, a demonic beast scratched her face.

Luo Yuting guessed that someone had planned to disfigure her, but she had no idea who that was.

She thought it might be someone who was jealous of her marrying Qiao Xiang, who was unofficially chosen as the next head of the sect. As his wife, she was targeted.

Perhaps her involvement in Chen Xu’s kidnap was discovered, but if that happened, she didn’t think she would have got away with only a disfigured face. Or the person who hurt her thought death was too light a punishment for her, so he had her face scratched and made her miserable.
