I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Ye Jingjing didn't feel heartbroken at all. Instead, her eyes were exceptionally bright, revealing a bit of appreciation and admiration.

She gave Mingchuan a thumbs-up and praised him sweetly, "General Ming, you're amazing! You have a good eye! The plants you selected are all top-quality! You'll definitely be able to make top-quality elixirs when you take them back!"

Mingchuan looked at Ye Jingjing's bright eyes and felt much better.

"Then I'll take your kind words. Please put all these things back first."

"Good~"

Ye Jingjing agreed crisply, and with a wave of her hand, the white light returned to the grids of each medicinal herb like silk. After putting all the herbs in, she took all the white light back into her palm and it disappeared completely.

Only the blue light emitted by a blue crystal remained.

"General Ming, is there anywhere else you want to go? I can show you the way."

Mingchuan nodded: "Please show me around."

"it is good."

This time, Ye Jingjing did not take Mingchuan in the elevator. Instead, she took him up the stairs, walking up step by step.

The stairs here are not as dark as those tall buildings in the center of the city, but are guided by various crystals.

Mingchuan could clearly feel the traces of spiritual energy emanating from these crystals. Every time he went up a little, he could sense the subtle feeling of spiritual energy entering his body.

Ye Jingjing happily introduced to him the various magical features of each floor, and the two chatted as they walked.

The more they talked, the more Mingchuan felt that the girl in front of him was clearly a lively little girl, who was also pretty and as cute as a New Year picture doll.

How could others think that she was an arrogant, domineering and unreasonable princess?

Just as Ye Jingjing was chattering, Mingchuan suddenly interrupted her.

"Miss Ye, that skinny guy next to you is not a good person."

Ye Jingjing was stunned. She thought about the name "skinny monkey" for a long time before she realized that Mingchuan was talking about Wang Shao.

Ye Jingjing blinked.

"General Ming, what do you mean?"

Mingchuan smiled and said, "Don't you think that the reason you are disliked by the sect members now is because of that guy?"

"what……?"

Ye Jingjing was like a slow sloth, with a bit of confusion in her eyes.

Extremely cute.

"I don't think so... I've always been a bit clumsy. Maybe it's because I didn't teach Wang Shao well that everyone thinks I'm bad, right?"

Good man, he is taking all the blame on himself.

Mingchuan shook his head. Considering that the girl was quite generous to him, he tried to wake her up.

"Wang Shaoyou said bad things about you behind your back. After you left yesterday, the others went to comfort him, and he told them that you didn't want him to leave the mountain, and that you had placed a restriction on him. If he left as soon as he left, he would die."

"what?!"

Ye Jingjing finally stopped being as slow as a sloth.

Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and her little face was puffed up with anger.

"No way! How could I be that kind of person?! Why would he talk about me behind my back? It's obvious that he didn't want to leave the mountain all along, and he insisted that I keep him here so that he could learn to cultivate with everyone else!"

"I didn't want to teach him originally. After all, without immortal fate, it would be useless to stay here. But he said he had no relatives down the mountain, he was all alone, and I was his only benefactor. He wanted to serve me, so I kept him here!"

When Mingchuan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

This Ye Jingjing is really too naive.

It's just such a small problem, but I haven't heard about it from anyone else for a whole year?

Ye Jingjing was angry, but suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Mingchuan in surprise.

"But how do you know he was the one saying bad things about me behind my back? Why don't you think what he said is true?"

When she said this, a trace of sadness flowed through Ye Jingjing's heart.

After all, over the past year, she clearly felt that other people around her were gradually distancing themselves from her and were unwilling to get close to her.

No matter how many nice things she said, it was useless.

Mingchuan narrowed his eyes: "Because he clearly doesn't have any so-called restrictions."

"This man is inherently ruthless and extremely ambitious. His thinness isn't your fault, is it? I can tell he's deliberately starving himself to highlight his weakness."

Ye Jingjing looked at Mingchuan with even more admiration in her eyes.

She nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! Ever since this guy came to our sect, he's been saying he can't get used to the food. He's been eating less and less, getting thinner and thinner... Even his skin has become darker and darker, and his body is terribly weak. Even though our family manages the herbal medicine shop, he hasn't absorbed any of the medicinal energy from the herbs at all."

"I've always felt sorry for him, but I never thought he would say that about me behind my back."

Looking at this innocent girl, Mingchuan felt extremely helpless.

"And he was just cursing me behind my back, saying I was pretending. When I turned around to look at him, he didn't even have time to retract his vicious glare."

Ye Jingjing was silent.

She gritted her teeth and said, "How could he do this? It makes me so angry. I'm going to chase him down the mountain when I get up there!"

Mingchuan smiled mysteriously, "If you chase him down the mountain now, wouldn't that be like shooting yourself in the foot? Later, when he kneels down to beg, his howling will attract others, and everyone will mistakenly think you're a vicious person."

Ye Jingjing was anxious: "What should we do? We can't keep it forever. With someone like him who has bad intentions, who knows if he will secretly steal something from our sect."

At this point, Mingchuan raised his brows and pursed his lips, saying, "Since you've said so, shouldn't we take good care of him before he leaves the mountain?"

"Because he'll just run away with the treasure, and you'll be blamed for nothing. And maybe even blame you again when the others discover the theft."

Ye Jingjing's heart trembled when she heard this: "How could he do this... This is too much? Just to step on my head and keep me here forever... Actually, he doesn't have to do this. Everyone will accept him..."

Mingchuan felt a little distressed when he saw this.

"It doesn't matter, we can always play it back for him."

She clenched her teeth, and even though her mind was simple, she understood what Mingchuan meant.

"You mean to say, let's play a trick on him?"

Mingchuan nodded: "Not bad."

Ye Jingjing immediately said excitedly: "Brother Ming, do you have any good ideas?"

Good guy.

After I gave her a few casual reminders, she even changed the way she addressed me, from calling me General Ming to calling me Brother Ming.

Don't even say it.

Mingchuan felt very comfortable after being called "brother" several times.

He waved at Ye Jingjing, signaling her to hold her ear over.

Ye Jingjing turned sideways curiously.

Mingchuan whispered in his ear, and Ye Jingjing's eyes brightened even more.

After a long moment, she nodded. "Thank you, Brother Ming, for your advice. I understand now. Don't worry, I will never suffer any loss again!"

"I'm going to make this guy spit out everything he ate!"
