Chapter 283 - Heroine and Demoness
Here is Chapter 284 of "Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life": Ye Qiu dodged Yin Shaochenâs obstruction and followed behind Leng Zhao Yue.Seeing this, Yin Shaochenâs... Donât miss it!
Ye Qiu dodged Yin Shaochenâs obstruction and followed behind Leng Zhao Yue.
Seeing this, Yin Shaochenâs eyes reddened with urgency, fearing that Ye Qiu would harm Leng Zhao Yue. He hastily followed, with a group of Jianghu people trailing behind him.
Ye Qiu followed Leng Zhao Yue to a familiar place. She still doesnât know? Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.
Indeed, she has been with Yin Shaochen all this time. How could she know that the Demon Sectâs influence within the Governor Mansion has already been eradicated?
What a pity! After killing the Demon Sectâs Fourth Guardian herself, this place has been jointly managed by Qingyi Pavilion and Ba Dao Cliff. Leng Zhao Yue has been coming here for rescue only to fall into a trap unwittingly!
"Demoness!" Someone from Qingyi Pavilion rushed out.
How could this be? Leng Zhao Yue was startled and surrounded before she could regain her composure.
What happened here? Where is Fourth Uncle? Leng Zhao Yueâs heart was in extreme turmoil. When was this place discovered? Are Fourth Uncle and the others alright?
"Demoness, didnât expect this, did you! You might as well surrender quietly!" A disciple of Qingyi Pavilion sneered and formed a Sword Array.
By the time Yin Shaochen arrived, he saw Leng Zhao Yue being attacked. Her situation seemed dire, her complexion pale, her defensive moves showing signs of weakness. Yin Shaochen quickly stepped forward to protect her.
"Young Master Yin, are you sure you want to protect this demoness and make an enemy of the entire martial world?" someone from Ba Dao Cliff asked with a cold voice.
Faced with the siege of several forces, Yin Shaochen wasnât sure if he could safely take Leng Zhao Yue out. He patiently explained, "I think there has been a misunderstanding. Zhaoyue is not a person of the Demon Sect."
A Qingyi Pavilion disciple sneered at his words: "Young Master Yin, if she isnât a Demon Sect demoness, why would she run straight here? You may not know, but this Governor Mansion was once a stronghold of the Demon Sect just three days ago."
Yin Shaochen knew their words werenât false, but it was precisely because of this that the steadfast belief in his heart wavered. However, he still refused to believe it. Zhaoyue was once so kind-hearted; how could she be a member of the Demon Sect?
"You also said this is the Governor Mansion. Maybe Zhaoyue came here to ask the governor to deliver justice?" Yin Shaochen found a plausible reason for Leng Zhao Yue.
"Only you would believe that," someone from Ba Dao Cliff retorted, gripping their heavy sword tightly, "Young Master Yin, if you donât step aside, donât blame me for being ruthless."
"I will not let you harm Zhaoyue." Yin Shaochen also clenched his sword, confronting them all.
"Young Master Yin, arenât you afraid of breaking your parentsâ hearts? I heard it was the demoness who set fire to your Chongjian Manor."
"The arsonist is someone else," Yin Shaochen argued.
"Then arenât you afraid that the various martial sects will think that your Chongjian Manor is colluding with the Demon Sect? Arenât you afraid of opposition from the major sects towards your Chongjian Manor?"
Yin Shaochen pursed his lips tightly: "My personal actions have nothing to do with Chongjian Manor. I believe the various sect leaders are discerning individuals."
"Yin Shaochen, you are using the fame of Chongjian Manor to protect Leng Zhao Yue. You think because youâre the Young Manor Lord of Chongjian Manor, others wonât dare to kill you?"
"I am not."
"Then hand over Leng Zhao Yue, the demoness."
"No."
"Why donât you dare?"
Yin Shaochen pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ye Qiu suddenly chuckled lightly: "How about this? You have no evidence to prove Miss Leng Zhao Yueâs innocence, and we donât have clear evidence that she is indeed a person of the Demon Sect. Since you believe that the various sect leaders are wise and just, why not hand Miss Leng Zhao Yue over for them to judge? Iâm sure that before the truth is uncovered, the sect leaders wonât harm Miss Leng Zhao Yue."
"Thatâs right, we wonât kill her until the truth is uncovered," declared the people from Ba Dao Cliff.
"We agree as well," said Qingyi Pavilion.
Currently, there are six major powers in Jianghu: Shaolin, Chongjian Manor, Ba Dao Cliff, Qingyi Pavilion, Carefree Sect, and Medicine Valley. At present, the people from Chongjian Manor and Shaolin are absent, Xiaoyao Pavilion has always stayed out of Jianghu affairs, Ye Qiu is the heir to Medicine Valley, and it was she who proposed this. With Ba Dao Cliff and Qingyi Pavilion agreeing, one could say this proposal has the backing of half of the martial arts world.
Yin Shaochen was struggling internally: "Zhaoyue is injured, she canât undergo questioning."
Ye Qiu continued, "My medical skills may not be as great as my fatherâs, but ensuring Lady Lengâs survival is no problem. If it is proven that she is indeed innocent, I will ask my father to cure her completely. Any more doubts?"
Seeing Yin Shaochen hesitate, Ye Qiu sarcastically smiled at him: "Yin Shaochen, if Lady Leng truly has no ties to the Demon Sect, then this proposal wonât harm her in the least. What are you hesitating for? Or do you actually harbor doubts as well?"
Yin Shaochenâs eyes darkened, and he remained silent, the atmosphere on the scene growing even more tense.
Leng Zhao Yue looked at Ye Qiu with her venomous eyes, wondering why Medicine Valley repeatedly spoils the Holy Sectâs plans.
"How do I know you wonât harm me in secret?" Leng Zhao Yue asked sharply, seeing Yin Shaochen offer no help.
"The major sects always act with fairness, Lady Leng need not worry about this proposal," stated the man from Ba Dao Cliff, full of righteous indignation.
"Fairness?" Leng Zhao Yue scoffed, "Nothing but a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites."
To talk of proving her innocence - once sheâs under their control, what awaits her will be relentless questioning thatâs worse than death!
Leng Zhao Yueâs words thoroughly infuriated everyone present.
"Young Manor Lord Yin, is this really the person you insist on protecting? If sheâs not a Demoness from the Demon Sect, why would she refuse?"
"Yin Shaochen, are you sure you want to associate yourself with the filth of the Demon Sect? Hand over the Demoness."
Yin Shaochen raised his sword again; regardless of who Zhaoyue is, he was determined to protect her.
"Yin Shaochen, youâre making enemies of the entire martial arts world," someone warned.
The tension at the scene was about to erupt, and the two factions clashed once again.
However, because the martial arts sects had more people and were more powerful, and Yin Shaochen had previously overtaxed his Inner Strength, while Leng Zhao Yue was also seriously injured, the two of them quickly fell into a disadvantage under the groupâs siege, with no path of retreat available.
Ye Qiu did not make a move; letting these two die too easily was not her plan. She wanted Yin Shaochen to be utterly disgraced and Leng Zhao Yue to fail miserably.
A match made in heaven? She wondered whether they would still have the determination and ability to retire to the mountains and live a carefree life in this lifetime.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, a group of masked experts burst in from outside, their martial arts profound and their moves unpredictable, swiftly resulting in the death of several disciples at their hands.
But this group of people seemed not keen on fighting; they took Leng Zhao Yue and left.
"So this is your so-called innocence? This is your so-called orphan?" Ye Qiu mocked Yin Shaochen, "What rising star of the martial arts world? Just a fool who canât tell right from wrong!"
"Yin Shaochen, one last question for you: have you revealed the affairs of the major sects to Leng Zhao Yue?"
Ye Qiuâs question completely woke everyone up. If the Demoness Leng Zhao Yue had learned the secrets of the major sects from Yin Shaochen, wouldnât that be disastrous?
The people exchanged glances, feeling they couldnât let Yin Shaochen off so easily. And since he and the Demoness were supposedly in love, perhaps she would come back for him!
