After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 213 Sorry

However, the Immortal Sect absolutely needed this thing.

If not, then the moment they take over Jingrong General Store, the Lu family will come looking for trouble.

The Immortal Sect is not afraid of the Lu family coming to their door, but this shop is very important to them. It is perfectly legitimate for them to take it back this time, and they will not allow others to make a fuss or smear them on this matter!

"Lu Rong, if you do as we say, we'll send a message to Fairy Yanrong on your behalf. That way, she won't be waiting in vain after your death, hoping you'll come to meet her," Chen Lan suddenly said.

The words "beautiful face" stirred something in Lu Rong's heart, and he couldn't help but open his eyes. "She..."

He was prepared to die, thinking that once he accepted his fate, nothing else mattered.

But upon hearing Yanrong's name, and seeing the woman's pure and delicate image before his eyes, Lu Rong suddenly couldn't bear it.

Yes, she doesn't know what happened to her, whether she's waiting for him anxiously, longing for him, unable to sleep.
Hua Yan, who had been sitting there blankly, suddenly looked up at Lu Rong and asked, "Yan Rong? Fairy? Who is she?"

Lu Rong felt a little embarrassed, only then remembering that Hua Yan was still there.

However, he was no longer afraid or flustered, so he did not avoid her gaze.

A person is about to die, what is there to be afraid of?
"Oh, you didn't know?" Du Yue covered her mouth. "Your husband has a new lover. He goes on dates with her every day and has spent a lot of crystals on her. And you didn't know at all?"

Hua Yan trembled with rage, her face deathly pale. She had never been this furious, not even when she knew she was going to die.

Of course she didn't know!
She spent her days shuttling between home and the shop, racking her brains to figure out how to improve the shop's business so that it could surpass Xianlaifang.

She knew that her husband was often away from the shop, but Lu Rong had many friends and it was common for him to go out, so Hua Yan never suspected anything.

But she only found out now that he had been having an affair behind her back!
"Lu Rong...is this real?!"

She asked incredulously.

"Yes." Lu Rong readily admitted it.

“…When did it happen?”

"Two years ago."

Hua Yan suddenly smiled, but tears streamed down her face. "Two years...you kept it from me for two years, you betrayed me for two years! Lu Rong, have you forgotten the promise you made to me back then?!"

She screamed until she was hoarse, and veins bulged on her forehead.

Back then, she was a member of the Immortal Sect. Her father was the manager of Jingrong General Store, and he was highly trusted by the previous sect leader, managing the store for his entire life.

Later, when his father got old, he applied to the sect to give him the position of manager.

That's what he said back then—

“Yan’er, although the development of the Immortal Sect is limited, everyone in the sect values ​​loyalty and righteousness. I have worked for them all my life and have some influence over them. If you work hard, they will definitely not treat you unfairly.”

Hua Yan originally wanted to manage it properly, but the Immortal Sect was facing an internal crisis and the sect was on the verge of collapse.

It was around that time that she met her lover, Lu Rong, the young master of the Lu family.

Not long after, Lu Rong conspired with her to take advantage of Jing Rong. Hua Yan was somewhat reluctant to do so at the time, partly because she dared not, and partly because she felt that it would be unfair to her father and to the Xianlai Sect for their trust in her.

But people who are in love seem to lose their minds. She was so bewildered by Lu Rong that she actually did it.

At that time, she couldn't eat or sleep for several days because of guilt and anxiety, but Lu Rong kept saying sweet words and making promises to her:
"I understand that you did this for me. Yan'er, don't worry, I will always remember your kindness and treat you well in return, and I will never let you down."

She cried and threw herself into his arms, finally calming her terrified heart.

She thought, "Okay, this is fine. I guess it's worth it."

Isn't a reliable man more valuable than a shopkeeper?
Hua Yan looked at the people from the Immortal Sect with teary eyes.

Although she subconsciously tried to forget, some things remained vividly in her memory. When she was in the sect, her fellow disciples were all very kind to her, and whenever she had questions about cultivation, no matter who she asked, they would patiently answer her.

Sometimes when she lacked elixirs for cultivation, Senior Sister Chen Lan would give her hers.

Once, while practicing swordsmanship on the back mountain, she accidentally dropped her sword off a cliff. Heartbroken, she sat on the mountain and cried. Her Uncle-Master Liu Feng saw this and gave her a sword...

No one in the sect had wronged her, but she felt that the Immortal Sect was on the verge of decline and its future was uncertain. She felt that staying would only harm her.

Later, he betrayed the Xianlai Sect and gave all the shops to Lu Rong, which made things even worse for the already struggling Xianlai Sect.

Since the incident, they have cursed her and given her the cold shoulder, but they have never thought of killing her.

Hua Yan closed her eyes.

What did she do?
Lu Rong only glanced at Hua Yan, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he didn't care anymore.

He was now preoccupied with Yanrong's affairs, worried that she would be heartbroken to learn of his death, and also worried that she would have a difficult life without his care.

“I… I can say it,” he suddenly said, “but you must promise not to make things difficult for her, and leave her another 10,000 crystals, which will fulfill our feelings for each other.”

The members of the Immortal Sect were greatly astonished.

Tsk, what a surprise! Lu Rong's own wife is right here, yet he's here so affectionately worrying about another woman!

Facing imminent death, you still want to be a Casanova?
Chen Lan looked at Lu Rong with pity.

Women understand women better, and she saw clearly who Yan Rong was.

How could she possibly have any feelings for Lu Rong?

However, Hua Yan, though ungrateful, was genuinely kind to Lu Rong.

pity……

"I don't have crystals, but other things are fine," Liu Feng said.

What are you thinking? Ten thousand crystals? You're really giving him too much credit.

Lu Rong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Hua Yan, who was standing next to him, sneered but did not look at Lu Rong.

I don't know if I'm laughing at him or at myself.

Soon, the recording stone recorded Lu Rong's words, clearly recounting his conspiracy with Hua Yan, and concluding with—

“My husband and I did not acquire the shop in a very honorable way. Now I am willing to give the shop and all the goods inside to the Xianlai Sect.”

He was quite cooperative in order to get them to pass on a message to Yanrong, so cooperative that the people of the Xianlai Sect had mixed feelings about it.

"If that's the case, then I'll give you a quick death."

Liu Feng put away the memory stone, picked up his sword, and killed Lu Rong and Hua Yan one after the other.

"sorry……"

As Hua Yan closed her eyes, she uttered a very soft murmur.

The crowd remained indifferent.

Pity her? Forgive her?

nonexistent.
