After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 53

The Jiang family had spent years searching for Dao Enlightenment Leaf, only for it to be rejected by her.

Watching Jiang Chen’s disappointed expression, Qingning in the void began to dislike herself.

She thought she was the victim, but everything was proving that she and the other Senior Brothers and Sisters were the real instigators pushing Jiang Chen towards the abyss!

Fortunately, things were not beyond repair.

Because the Qingning in the image had indeed let go of her resentment towards Jiang Chen.

Although she no longer relied on him as before, she would occasionally go out with Jiang Chen for training.

Their conversations were few, but with Jiang Chen’s efforts, their relationship was clearly warming up.

Just when Qingning thought there might be a turning point. It seemed that fate did not want to let Jiang Chen have it easy.

“Ah!!”

Inside Qingning’s residence, Jiang Chen’s eyes carried a hint of pink as he continuously approached Qingning while making strange noises with his mouth.

Qingning in the image covered her chest and trying to escape, but she was bound by a powerful vital energy and couldn’t move!

She cried for help and cursed loudly.

But Jiang Chen was indifferent. At the critical moment, Xiao Hongyi arrived with a group of Senior Brothers.

Xiao Hongyi immediately noticed something was wrong with Jiang Chen, wrapped him up with a red whip, and began to examine Jiang Chen’s body.

There was nothing unusual!

“Could it be the Heart-Devouring Soul-Bewitching Pill?!” Xiao Hongyi was shocked.

With her intervention, Jiang Chen naturally did not succeed.

But rumors started to spread throughout the Ninth Peak.

Xiao Hongyi knew about the existence of the Heart-Devouring Soul-Bewitching Pill, but the other disciples did not.

They unanimously believed that this was just Xiao Hongyi’s way of favoring Jiang Chen!

After all, many people had examined him, and there was nothing unusual in Jiang Chen’s body at that time!

Some even thought that even if Jiang Chen really did take a special poison pill, it must have been of his own doing, trying to take advantage of the situation!

That way, he could still get away with it even if he was exposed!

Qingning in the image was also a bit confused, but her relationship with Jiang Chen, which had just begun to thaw, was affected by this incident and fell to rock bottom again.

“Junior Sister Qingning, you’re just too kind. Before, the Eldest Senior Brother’s so-called care was actually exploitation, and now he has learned to use this method to absolve himself of guilt, you must not be fooled!” Lin Feng had been persuading her by her side.

“What if… what if it really has nothing to do with Eldest Senior Brother?”

“Impossible! Think about it. Eldest Senior Brother already has a terrible reputation, so why would anyone want to poison him to do bad things? What would be the point of such an action? Moreover, who doesn’t know that Eldest Senior Brother is backed by the Jiang Family? Does someone no longer care for their own life?”

Qingning in the image was silent, feeling there was some truth to it.

Seeing this, Lin Feng seized the opportunity and continued, “Junior Sister, even if you don’t believe me, you should still stay away from Eldest Senior Brother. You need to learn to protect yourself!”

“…Okay.”

Having achieved his goal, Lin Feng walked away cheerfully.

Qingning in the void frowned as she watched his retreating figure

As an observer, she felt that this matter definitely had nothing to do with Jiang Chen, but for the moment, she couldn’t think of anyone who would be so malicious as to poison Jiang Chen.

The scene suddenly changed.

What came into Qingning’s view was Lin Feng and a middle-aged man.

She had a slight recollection of this middle-aged man, who seemed to be an elder of the Elixir Peak named Ma Wu.

“Ma Wu! Have you lost your mind? Poisoning Jiang Chen? Do you realize he almost succeeded!?” Lin Feng shouted in a panic.

“Why the panic, nephew?”

Ma Wu smiled slightly, confidently saying, “I am very clear about the effects of the Heart-Devouring Soul-Bewitching Pill, so there will be no accidents. Although Jiang Chen was not severely punished this time, Xiao Hongyi’s reputation has been tarnished because of this. Xiao Hongyi will definitely not have the face to continue to protect him if Jiang Chen makes another mistake next time.”

“Isn’t this too sinister? I, Lin Feng, never engage in such despicable acts,” Lin Feng frowned.

“Nephew, we are doing this for the Jiuyan Sect. That Jiang Chen will sooner or later bring disaster to the sect! Haven’t you noticed that the disciples of the Ninth Peak have slightly changed their views of him recently?”

“This…”

Lin Feng hesitated.

But it was only for a moment!

He indeed was lustful and unscrupulous in achieving his goals. But he always felt that this matter was too low and dirty.

It did not match his identity as the Son of Destiny.

“Hmph, Elder Ma, no need to say more!”

Lin Feng waved his hand grandly, “Although I despise that Jiang Chen, I disdain to use such methods! Tomorrow, I will report your deeds to the Hall of Enforcement, and you just wait to be punished!”

Hearing this, Ma Wu did not panic but instead asked, “And then? After everyone knows they misunderstood Jiang Chen, how will you deal with him?”

“Defeat him openly!” Lin Feng replied instantly.

“Junior Sister Qingning used to rely heavily on Jiang Chen, and once she knows the truth, she will definitely change her view. At that time, are you sure you can win her heart by openly competing with Jiang Cheg?”

“This…” Lin Feng hesitated again.

“Nephew, when we fight against evil, we must be prepared to tarnish our own feathers. You are a dragon among men, the hope of the Jiuyan Sect. Do not lead yourself astray.”

With these words, Ma Wu left directly.

Lin Feng stood there.

After a long while, he made a decision: “Qingning Junior Sister is mine! Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. I don’t know anything…”

Boom!

Upon hearing these words, Qingning in the void felt as if she was struck by lightning.

She had long sensed that Lin Feng in the image was not as bright and shiny as he appeared on the surface, but she never imagined he could stoop so low.

True, the matter was not Lin Feng’s doing, but he was undoubtedly an accomplice!

Those who aid and abet tyranny are as despicable as the instigators!

And she had personally brought such a person into the Jiuyan Sect in front of her master and fellow disciples!

Qingning finally understood this.

Why had Jiang Chen always been opposing Lin Feng?

Perhaps it was because he saw through Lin Feng’s true nature!

At this moment, she has never despised someone so much.

Even when she misunderstood Jiang Chen, thinking that she was being used as a tool, what she felt was more loss than anything else.

But what did understanding change?

After all, she could not alter anything.

Due to various coincidences and misunderstandings, Jiang Chen’s misdeeds continued. No matter how hard he tried, the worst outcomes were what he got.

Gradually, even Xiao Hongyi, who had always been biased towards him, became disillusioned.

Now Qingning finally understood.

Lin Feng must be the Son of Destiny, favored by the heavens and earth.

And Jiang Chen, perhaps, was a stepping stone specially prepared by the heavens for Lin Feng!

“Heaven is not benevolent. It treats all beings as straw dogs.”

Looking up at the sky, she suddenly remembered this saying.

Should Jiang Chen continue to be misunderstood just because it was the will of the heavens?

And Lin Feng could easily win everyone’s favor in the most effortless way wherever he went?

Why?

Why should the heavens decide everything for a person?

Why should her upright Eldest Senior Brother be reduced to a stepping stone for the Son of Destiny?

The most hateful was herself.

If she had trusted Jiang Chen a little more, if she had not introduced Lin Feng into the Jiuyan Sect, perhaps none of this would have happened…

“What am I thinking?”

Qingning shook her head again in the void.

For a moment, she had completely immersed herself in the situation, treating everything as if it had really happened.

“This is an illusion. It must be an illusion.”

“My Eldest Senior Brother is not that upright. He did indeed beat up fellow disciples and stole my Jade Spirit Grass! He did indeed act indecently towards the master and many Junior Sisters.”

“He really did…”

As she spoke, Qingning began to cry.

The more she reminded herself, the more painful it felt, and all the images that had appeared were branded in her mind, never to be erased.

Looking at Jiang Chen in the image, she finally choked up and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, I’m sorry…”
