Chapter 1731: Are You Done Yet?
Moreover, she actually said she wanted to leave. Damn it, she left without hesitation! Did she think that after showing up like this, she could just leave as she pleased?
On the other hand, a trace of irritation and gloominess also flickered in Xi Yue’s eyes.
This man’s voice was strikingly similar to Nangong Yu’s. Every time he spoke, she found herself getting agitated and troubled, unable to maintain a clear train of thought.
She said with a stern face, “What if I insist on leaving?”
Ji Mingyu’s gaze grew colder. He waved his hand. Several loud smacking sounds could be heard.
In the palace room, the originally open doors and windows unexpectedly closed in an instant. They were even sealed with a layer of an array that flickered with golden light.
The man uttered coldly, “You can try!”
This time, Xi Yue was dumbfounded.
The material of these doors alone was extravagantly luxurious. Even without the installed array, with her modest level of cultivation, she doubted that she could open them. On top of that, there was a layer of intricate array that made her dizzy just by glancing at it.
Xi Yue took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability in her heart.
Fine! Fine! Since I can’t leave, I just won’t leave for the time being.
Xi Yue walked back to the bedside table, picked up the teapot and teacup, and poured herself a cup.
The tea was still warm, wafting a fragrant aroma around the lips and nose. It was a rare and precious spiritual tea variety that Xi Yue didn’t know about.
However, her tea brewing skills were a bit lacking, which unfortunately wasted the delicious taste of the tea.
Ji Mingyu observed her smooth movements and calm demeanor. A hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Over the years, she was the first girl who didn’t tremble with fear in his presence. Instead, she could regard him as if he were nothing, even enjoying herself leisurely.
His cultivation had transcended the realm of mortals. Even without deliberately emitting an aura of pressure, ordinary cultivators would feel an immense sense of fear in his presence. Not to mention, the girl before him was only at the Gold Core Stage, not even qualifying as a cultivator.
After finishing a cup of tea, Xi Yue looked toward Ji Mingyu and said lightly, “Can you tell me now? Who are you? And what do you want by keeping me here?”
Ji Mingyu raised his eyebrows in a slight arc. An expression that would still appear cold to others.
However, Xi Yue discerned mockery from this man’s subtle expression, “Playing hard to get. You play this game well.”
Xi Yue was rendered speechless. Is this person out of his mind?
Ji Mingyu slowly walked up to Xi Yue, gently held her chin with his slender hands, and forced her gaze to meet those pitch-black yet icy cold eyes, “Tell me! Who sent you here?”
Xi Yue frowned and turned her head away to avoid the cold fingers. However, the man held his grip tightly. She could not escape no matter how hard she struggled.
Xi Yue also realized at this time that this man seemed to have misunderstood something.
She took a deep breath and tried to explain in a calm tone, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about, but I truly ended up on your territory by accident. I apologize for any disturbance caused to you. Since we have nothing to do with each other, if you truly believe I have any ulterior motives, wouldn’t it be easier to just throw me out?”
Ji Mingyu raised the corners of his mouth. A spark of interest lit up in his eyes, “Your master should feel proud. You’re the first woman who has caught my interest in so many years.”
“Are you done yet?” Xi Yue also became angry, “I’ve already said I ended up here by accident. Do you think I wanted to come to this godforsaken place?”
