The next day, Lin Jingyi had just returned from her morning exercise when Xiao Yue came to tell her that Nie Shuangshuang had secretly gone to see Mo Wuji. Lin Jingyi simply said not to worry about it, then went to wash up, changed her clothes, and walked out of the courtyard.

She walked through the corridor to Nie Shuangshuang's courtyard, intending to wait for Nie Shuangshuang to return.

She was certain that Nie Shuangshuang would return disappointed!

As for Nie Shuangshuang, she assumed that the guards at the manor were too lax, and she easily found the dungeon. At that time, the guards at the dungeon entrance were all asleep.

Although she had doubts, this was her only chance to be alone with Brother Wuji at this moment.

Nie Shuangshuang walked in, and the dungeon was empty. The guards from the manor were all lying on the ground, and the dungeon was deserted.

Only then did she realize that her lonely brother might have been rescued.

Why didn't he come and take her with him?

Nie Shuangshuang felt a heavy weight in her heart, an immense sorrow pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe. Brother Wuji, did you really not want her anymore?

Nie Shuang returned to her residence after pondering for a while.

About an incense stick's time later, after Lin Jingyi arrived at Nie Shuangshuang's courtyard, Nie Shuangshuang returned looking dejected.

"Where did Shuangshuang go?" Lin Jingyi asked Nie Shuangshuang, seeing her looking so lost.

Nie Shuangshuang was also startled by Lin Jingyi's sudden voice. She turned around and found Lin Jingyi sitting on the stone chair in the courtyard.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice him.

After realizing what was happening, Nie Shuangshuang replied, "Brother Yan, I felt a bit stuffy. My foot was finally better, so I went out for a walk."

Seeing that Lin Jingyi's expression did not change, Nie Shuangshuang gripped her skirt tightly and asked Lin Jingyi in a low voice, "Brother Yan, is there something you need from me?"

"There is something I want to tell you, about your revenge." Seeing Nie Shuangshuang's deliberately curious expression, Lin Jingyi said mysteriously, "Last night someone came to rescue Mo Wuji, and in the chaos, I killed Mo Wuji. You are unable to avenge your enemy."

As Lin Jingyi spoke, he observed Nie Shuangshuang's expression. He saw that Nie Shuangshuang's face turned pale in an instant, and she tried hard to suppress the tears welling up in her eyes.

There was an almost imperceptible hatred in her eyes as she looked at Lin Jingyi.

Seeing this, Lin Jingyi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was startled. He hadn't expected that Nie Shuangshuang would fall in love with Mo Wuji so soon.

Lin Jingyi stepped forward gently and placed his hands on Nie Shuangshuang's shoulders: "Shuangshuang, are you happy? Brother Yan avenged you."

Nie Shuangshuang wanted to remove Yan Zhao's hand, but she held back.

Nie Shuangshuang trembled, opened her mouth, and tears streamed down her face as she managed to say with difficulty, "Cheer... be happy."

Seeing her like this, Lin Jingyi pretended to feel sorry for her and wiped away her tears, letting her lean on his shoulder to cry.

"Alright, I was just kidding. I said that so you could experience the joy of revenge in advance." Lin Jingyi gave a gentle smile, then looked at Nie Shuangshuang and explained softly:

"We're afraid someone might rescue Mo Wuji and imprison him elsewhere to prevent him from escaping. A sect like the Demonic Cult, which is hated by everyone, should have its leader die in the presence of all the heroes of the martial arts world. You still have a chance to avenge your enemy."

Yan Zhao saved Nie Shuangshuang and treated her very well, but she didn't tell him the truth, which led to the massacre of Yanxue Manor. In the end, she even took it upon herself to forgive Mo Wuji on behalf of the people of Yanxue Manor and lived happily ever after with Mo Wuji.

Lin Jingyi could only say that this girl was an ungrateful wretch.

She herself said she wanted revenge, but now she's thinking about saving the enemy who wiped out her clan—utterly foolish.

Upon hearing this, Nie Shuangshuang immediately stopped crying and stared blankly at Lin Jingyi.

Seriously, is this guy crazy? Is he just messing with her for fun?

Does he think he's funny?

"Then... Brother Yan, where is Mo Wuji?" Nie Shuangshuang wiped away her tears and asked in a low voice.

"If you want to see Mo Wuji, I'll take you to see him in a bit." Lin Jingyi's eyes crinkled with laughter, secretly overjoyed. Nie Shuangshuang was perfectly capable of performing the national treasure of face-changing. "However, if you want to kill him yourself, we'll have to wait until our Yanxue Manor invites martial arts practitioners from various sects to come and watch. At that time, Shuangshuang, you can do it yourself."

Lin Jingyi was just looking for an excuse. He had killed Mo Wuji, so there was no need to find any martial arts figures to witness it.

"Okay, all I want to do now is see what my nemesis who wiped out my clan looks like. I was just so happy to have avenged my great enemy that I stood up in joy."

Only then did Nie Shuangshuang remember to explain why she had cried so miserably.

"Hmm, Shuangshuang's foot doesn't hurt anymore?" Lin Jingyi replied perfunctorily, staring at her injured foot as he asked.

Nie Shuangshuang took a deep breath, her face breaking into a smile again. She twirled around in front of Lin Jingyi and said, "Brother Yan, look, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Lin Jingyi pulled Nie Shuangshuang down to sit, staring at her intently: "Shuangshuang, now that you're healed, what are your plans for the future?"

Nie Shuangshuang looked at Lin Jingyi with a smile in her eyes and asked, "Brother Yan, have you forgotten? We agreed that I would become your personal maid to repay you once I recovered from my injuries."

Only by making Yan Zhao fall completely in love with her could she possibly save Brother Wuji... Now he already likes her, doesn't he?

Nie Shuangshuang raised a confident smile, which then disappeared.

With her charm, she's sure to make Yan Zhao fall at her feet!

Lin Jingyi was surprised that Nie Shuangshuang would bring this up, and looked at her in astonishment: "Shuangshuang, I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

Following Nie Shuangshuang's idea, Lin Jingyi looked at her with a serious expression and said, "As my personal maid, you will have to move to my courtyard."

Nie Shuangshuang blushed deeply, nodded, and looked down at the ground, not daring to meet Lin Jingyi's gaze. Lin Jingyi then embraced her.

She was only being polite to Yan Zhao at first, but now, only by keeping Yan Zhao occupied can her Wuji brother have a chance to escape.

Xiao Yue, standing to the side, looked at the two of them with a conflicted expression. This girl seemed to have impure thoughts. Why couldn't the young master see through her?

The young master dotes on Miss Nie so much, how could he bear to let her be a maid? Even when she goes to the young master's courtyard, he is the one who serves her.

It would have been fine before, but now, the young master says that Miss Nie is colluding with the leader of the Demonic Sect, yet he still treats her like this.

Xiao Yue was very worried. What should he do if his young master was so obsessed with love? But as a servant, he couldn't interfere in his master's affairs unless his master told him himself.

Xiao Yue frowned deeply as she watched the two, who seemed to be deeply in love, grow closer and closer.

Nie Shuangshuang was very worried about Mo Wuji at this moment, but she didn't want to show it directly. She leaned against Lin Jingyi's chest and asked casually:

"Brother Yan, can Mo Wuji's injuries hold out until the day I can finish him off myself?"

Lin Jingyi placed his hands on Nie Shuangshuang's shoulders, making her look into his eyes, not missing any change in her expression: "Don't worry, Mo Wuji has committed many evils, and I will make him wish he were dead these days."

Lin Jingyi spoke with a tone of hatred towards Mo Wuji: "After all, Mo Wuji killed your entire clan. It would be too easy for him to just die."

He acted as if he was doing this entirely to avenge Nie Shuangshuang.
