Chapter Index

    Many people sent letters to Jiang Qingshang, especially Cultivators from all over the Myriad Laws World, who would send her love letters.

    However, as Jiang Qingshang’s Realm rose and she consistently rejected the love letters, fewer people sent them now.

    Finally, after Jiang Qingshang personally declared, “With the Dao as my companion, I shall not take a Dao Companion in this life,” people stopped harassing her entirely.

    “Then who sent this letter?”

    Looking at this unsigned black envelope, an ominous feeling grew in Jiang Qingshang’s heart.

    Her intuition told her not to open it, but Jiang Qingshang chose to do so anyway.

    As Jiang Qingshang read the letter, the young woman’s pupils constricted, and even her eyes trembled slightly.

    Jiang Qingshang stared at the letter for a very long time.

    The letter contained only a single line of text.

    But it was this single line that made Jiang Qingshang’s fingers turn white as she gripped the envelope.

    “Husband… is Lin Xun???”

    Clutching the letter tightly, when the girl’s gaze finally moved away, the paper transformed into black flames and dissipated in her palm.

    “How is that possible…”

    Jiang Qingshang murmured to herself.

    She wouldn’t believe it entirely based on a single letter, especially when she didn’t know who the sender was or what their purpose was.

    However, Jiang Qingshang naturally couldn’t ignore it completely either.

    Because the letter clearly stated that the sender knew she was married, and even knew that the man she married was named Lin Pei.

    Very few people knew these things, and all of them were people she trusted most.

    If they knew her husband was Lin Xun, they would have told her personally instead of sending a letter in such a mysterious way.

    Then who was the other party?

    Jiang Qingshang absolutely did not believe that any of them would betray her.

    Then how did the other party find out?

    Regardless, Jiang Qingshang would seriously discern the truth of the matter.

    But if her husband really was that Lin Xun… unconsciously, the girl lightly bit her thin lip… Near evening, Lin Xun returned to Saintess Peak.

    Seeing the flickering candlelight in his courtyard, Lin Xun knew that Qinger had already come home.

    At this moment, Lin Xun’s heart began to race… If Qinger really was Jiang Qingshang… Shaking his head, Lin Xun stopped thinking about it, took a deep breath, and walked into his courtyard.

    “Qinger, I’m back…”

    Lin Xun’s voice echoed through the courtyard.

    “Brother Lin…”

    The first to greet Lin Xun was Yaya.

    “Husband is back…”

    Jiang Qingshang also leaned out from the kitchen.

    “Wait a moment, husband, the food will be ready soon.”

    “Mhm.” Lin Xun nodded, sitting in the courtyard while holding Yaya.

    Yaya sat on Lin Xun’s lap drawing, while Lin Xun’s gaze drifted toward the kitchen from time to time.

    At this moment, Lin Xun still found it difficult to connect Qinger with Jiang Qingshang.

    But various past scenes began to surface in Lin Xun’s mind.

    For instance, when the Heiwu Secret Realm opened, Qinger happened to be away on a trip, and then Jiang Qingshang appeared in the Heiwu Secret Realm.

    Or when Qinger had a small spat and went back to her parents’ home for a while, which happened to almost perfectly overlap with the opening of the Rootless Secret Realm.

    Then there was the rootless fruit. He originally thought Qinger had consumed it, and after he and Qinger shared that beautiful night of nature, the medicinal effects had accidentally transferred to his body.

    But in reality, was it that he wanted to give the rootless fruit to Qinger, and Qinger instead gave it to him?

    Finally, arriving at the Zilin Holy Land.

    Every time Qinger appeared, Jiang Qingshang was nowhere to be found.

    Similarly, every time he saw Jiang Qingshang, Qinger did not appear.

    Not only that, but when Jiang Qingshang accompanied him to choose a house… was it really just out of sisterly affection for Qinger?

    And then there was when Jiang Qingshang guided him in cultivation.

    Rumors said Jiang Qingshang was incredibly cold and aloof. Even if he was a Disciple of Saintess Peak, so what?

    She wouldn’t teach him personally, and she certainly wouldn’t keep taking liberties with him… The more Lin Xun thought, the more likely it seemed… He even remembered much earlier, when he was selected to participate in the Zilin Grand Ceremony of the Zilin Holy Land. He originally thought it was because Qinger held a position in Luo City and had pulled some strings… but in reality, it was a qualification Jiang Qingshang intended to give him all along… Finally, when he participated in the Zilin Grand Ceremony, he was “chosen” by Jiang Qingshang to tour the Zilin Holy Land, while Qinger was hot and cold with him… That time in Luo City when they faced the great terror of the centipede, that immortal sword “coincidentally” flew by and slew the giant creature… Finally, on the night of the blood moon when the Heavenly Demon Sword awakened, Jiang Qingshang just happened to appear in Luo City to resist the black mud brought by the demon sword.

    All sorts of evidence pointed to his wife being Jiang Qingshang… Actually, even if Qinger was Jiang Qingshang, it didn’t really matter to Lin Xun. In Lin Xun’s eyes, regardless of Qinger’s identity, she was always his wife. That point alone was enough. As for the so-called distinction between righteous and evil… honestly, Lin Xun felt he wasn’t that bored… But… if Qinger found out he was the Demon Son of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect… thinking back to the few duels between them… would that count as domestic violence?

    Probably not… because Qinger hit him pretty hard back then too… “Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore…”

    Lin Xun wiped his face and gave up thinking… Although the evidence was sufficient now, it was still just speculation. He would slowly find out Qinger’s true identity.

    After all, that She Qiqi was far too good at manipulating people’s hearts.

    If he confirmed that Qinger was Jiang Qingshang, then he absolutely could not expose his own identity either.

    At least now was not the time.

    Because of their several duels and various rumors, Qinger certainly harbored a deep-seated hatred for Demon Son Lin Xun.

    And because he didn’t care about his reputation at the time, he hadn’t bothered to refute anything, allowing names like “murderous demon” and “lecherous thief” to spread further.

    It had even become common knowledge for everyone under heaven… Now Lin Xun felt some regret… With his current reputation and their several conflicts, if Qinger found out he was Lin Xun, she might suffer a mental breakdown.

    In short, he would confirm Qinger’s identity to determine the truth.

    And his own identity must absolutely not be revealed.

    Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Jiang Qingshang was absent-mindedly chopping ribs on the cutting board… After finishing, Jiang Qingshang poured some medicinal powder into the boiling pot…
