This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 317 The Vanished Fairy, the Young Lady's Letter of Divorce
Outside the window, the night grew darker.

Luo Zijun lay in bed, carefully recalling the events of the day, feeling that Miss Bai's behavior seemed somewhat unusual.

This is quite different from Miss Bai's usual quiet and gentle nature.

Could it be that she has fallen in love with him over time?
How can it be!

The two have never even kissed, and he has never even touched her feet, so how could they have developed feelings for each other over time?
"Perhaps I shouldn't have acted so hastily..."

"She probably felt humiliated because she saw how eager I was to get her to divorce me, which is why she got angry and refused..."

"Sigh, I've waited so many days, why should I be in such a hurry for this day?"

Realizing that this might be the reason, Luo Zijun immediately felt a pang of regret.

However, if that's really the reason, the other party will agree sooner or later. The real fear is that it might be some other reason that he can't change.

Lost in these random thoughts, it soon came to midnight.

Luo Zijun decided to wait a few more days to see how things went, and wait until things calmed down between him and his sister-in-law before trying to find out what she thought.

"It's time to see the fairy, no, it's time to go underground to cultivate!"

Seeing that the time was almost right, he immediately sat cross-legged and let his soul leave his body.

A phantom flew onto the roof, then suddenly split in two, becoming two phantoms that flew into the air and looked down over the entire Bai Mansion.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the mansion, he then focused his mind and flew to the back garden.

The Divine Realm is indeed formidable. After splitting into two, his perception not only did not weaken but became even stronger, although his overall strength was somewhat diminished.

However, with the soul split in two, combined with the art of manipulating objects and flying swords, the attack methods become even more unpredictable.

Next, they began practicing the actual possession technique.

The possession technique at the Divine Transformation Realm is vastly different from the previous possession of small animals.

He can now directly possess human bodies, and can even possess two bodies simultaneously.

However, he can now only possess the bodies of humans who are physically weak or whose souls are damaged.

The back garden was quiet and still.

Warm air rose from the lake, and a thin mist enveloped the entire garden, making the surrounding scenery vibrant and colorful, like a fairyland.

Luo Zijun arrived at the entrance and, seeing that the fairy had not yet arrived, split his divine soul again to practice the art of controlling objects.

His soul split into two, one wielding a flying sword and the other controlling the soil on the ground, both with perfect control, as if they were his own limbs.

Night fell silently.

After waiting for a long time, the Moon Palace Fairy still hadn't arrived.

Luo Zijun finished her practice, raised her head, looked at the night sky, and a look of doubt appeared on her face.

Are you not coming tonight?
Undeterred, he waited for another half hour. Seeing that it would be dawn soon if he waited any longer, he had no choice but to recite the incantation and activate his soul power to open the entrance formation.

"Something's probably going to happen tonight..."

He secretly wondered what was going on in his mind.

"Wow!"

A beam of light appeared and sucked him into it.

In the blink of an eye, he had arrived underground.

In the past, the fairy had always been with him when he came to the underground, but tonight he came alone and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Let's continue our training in the cave.

Before the fairy arrived, for safety's sake, he temporarily cultivated in the cave and dared not wander around.

After crossing the stone bridge and passing through the tunnel, we soon arrived at the cave.

Upon entering the cave and gazing at this dark yet familiar space, memories of his time here with the fairy inevitably surfaced in his mind, lingering there.

Detoxification, breakthrough, energy transfer...

He clearly felt a growing, subtle affection between a man and a woman within him.

Is this what they call developing feelings over time?

Practice!

He didn't waste any more time, clearing his mind of the wandering images and began to concentrate on his cultivation.

The dense energy contained within the surrounding yin energy began to surge rapidly towards him.

The divine spirit flickered with fluorescent light, and the sea of ​​the soul surged with waves.

Soul power, like blood, meanders and flows through the limbs, bones, meridians, and acupoints...

The night passed quickly.

Opening my eyes, the light outside the cave was dim, yet everything was clearly visible, and my senses were exceptionally sharp.

Within the soul sea, the newly refined energy has completely merged with the soul power within.

His haul that night left him completely satisfied.

Looking at the empty cave and the empty entrance, a sense of emptiness unconsciously welled up in his heart, and the image of that snow-white figure unconsciously appeared in his mind.

"He'll probably come tomorrow night..."

It was getting late, so he didn't linger and got up to leave.

Returning to the ground, the soul returns to its body.

At this moment, a ray of dawn appeared on the horizon, and then the clouds began to gradually turn red.

Soon, the sun began to rise.

A radiant light shines down upon the world.

During the day, Luo Zijun did not go out, but instead hid in the backyard to cultivate, and no one came to disturb him.

But the Moon Fairy did not appear that night.

The Moon Palace Fairy did not appear again on the third night, the fourth night... for a full five nights.

Luo Zijun panicked a little.

He suddenly remembered the bronze mirror, and that night, he left his body and used the bronze mirror to send a message to the fairy in the moon palace.

Although he was still unsure whether the two Moon Palace Fairies were the same person.

However, there was no reply after the message was sent. That night, Luo Zijun went to cultivate underground alone again, and returned alone as well.

"The fairy must have something to attend to. She should return once she's finished..."

He comforted himself in this way.

But thinking back to that night when the fairy suddenly changed her attitude and took the initiative to teach him how to enter and leave the underground world, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"If she wanted to leave, she should at least have told me..."

"After all, the two of us... though we are connected by spirit, what difference is there between us and our physical bodies?"

As he watched the rising sun outside the window, he felt increasingly uneasy.

In the evening, he was taking a medicinal bath in the woodshed in the backyard when Xiao Huan came over to report: "Young master, Bai Bai just came to inform you that the young lady wants you to come over."

Did they say what it was about?

Luo Zijun asked.

Xiao Huan said, "No."

Luo Zijun got out of the bathtub, took a cold shower in the backyard, changed into clean clothes, and then went to the Snowfall Residence next door.

Since the last time he "beared the thorns to apologize", everything seemed to have been calm.

No one from the Bai family came looking for him, nor did his sister or brother-in-law. It was as if the matter was over, but he knew that a "storm" was brewing.

Miss Bai suddenly came to see him today. Could it be that she is here to stir up that "storm"?

He was already prepared.

In any case, he must first obtain the letter of divorce and regain his freedom.

Wasn't he working so hard to cultivate his skills all for this day?

"Miss, the wicked son-in-law is here."

At the door of the room, Pinky said without any politeness.

Miss Bai's voice came from inside the house: "Let him in. You stay outside and keep watch."

"Oh."

Pinky pouted and pushed open the door.

Luo Zijun entered the room and saw Miss Bai dressed in a white dress, with her long black hair flowing down her back. She was sitting quietly at the desk, writing with a pen in her hand.

Her flawless white skin and stunningly beautiful face, bathed in the evening sunset and the glow of her jet-black hair, remained dazzlingly white and breathtakingly beautiful.

"What business does the young lady have with me?"

Luo Zijun didn't dare to look too long, and stepped forward to politely bow.

Bai Meixue didn't answer immediately. She lowered her head and wrote a line of delicate handwriting before speaking calmly, "What have you thought about?"

Luo Zijun was taken aback and asked, "What is it that you want to ask, Miss?"

Bai Meixue raised her eyes and looked at him, saying, "It's naturally about Qing Tong. You've ruined her reputation. Have you thought about how to resolve this?"

Luo Zijun paused for a moment, and before he could answer, Miss Bai put down her pen, picked up the Xuan paper she had just finished writing on, and handed it to him without saying a word.

Luo Zijun was puzzled. She took the Xuan paper and looked down at it.

"A letter of divorce!"

When he saw the two slightly larger characters at the top, his eyes lit up and he was incredibly excited, but he quickly concealed his excitement and surprise.

At this time, you must not show your joy or happiness.

After reading all the text, he suppressed his excitement, raised his eyes to look at the girl in front of him, and said, "Young Miss, you agree?"

Bai Meixue said calmly, "Since you are so eager to break off our engagement, I will naturally grant your wish. I am not shameless enough to force someone who does not like me to stay by my side."

Luo Zijun felt a little embarrassed, and her mood suddenly became complicated.

Back then, he shamelessly brought up their past lives, begging her to let him marry into the family. Now, however, he's begging her to write a letter of divorce...

He really is a scumbag.

“Miss, it’s not that I don’t like you… You’re so beautiful and wonderful, no man in the world would dislike you. I just… I have my own unavoidable difficulties. It’s all my fault, and it has nothing to do with you, Miss.”

He was filled with guilt.

Bai Meixue seemed unconcerned, looking at him calmly and saying, "Now, can you go and marry Qingtong?"

Luo Zijun hesitated and remained silent.

Bai Meixue stared at him for a while, then stretched out her fair and delicate hand and said, "Give me back the divorce papers. I regret it."

Luo Zijun paused, then immediately tucked the letter of divorce into her wide sleeves, saying, "Letter of divorce? What letter of divorce? Did Miss give me a letter of divorce?"

Bai Meixue's expression remained unchanged. She glanced at him a few more times, then withdrew her hand and said, "It's alright, I haven't pressed my handprint yet."

Luo Zijun: "..."

He immediately took out the letter of divorce from his sleeve, unfolded it and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, there was no fingerprint on it.

A divorce letter without a fingerprint is just a piece of waste paper and has no legal effect whatsoever.

"Miss..."

Luo Zijun decisively backed down and lowered her head: "I was just joking with you..."

With that, he respectfully returned the letter of divorce, then unfolded it and placed it neatly on the table in front of her.

Will you marry Qing Tong?

After a moment of silence, Miss Bai asked again.

Luo Zijun said, "Of course I will, I swear!"

"Wife or concubine?"

Miss Bai asked again.

This time, Luo Zijun did not answer immediately.

He could have lied, or even said he didn't know, but for some reason, he couldn't say it.

Miss Bai stared at him for a long time before letting out a barely audible self-deprecating laugh: "It seems that everyone in our Bai family has been deceived by you."

"You already have someone in mind, don't you?"
