"Hmph, I'm not jealous." Bai Muyun snorted and turned his face away, but he couldn't hide the blush on the tips of his ears.

"Really? Then why are you still here, Muyun?" Ji deliberately teased Bai Muyun, his tone full of mischief and playfulness.

Bai Muyun was speechless for a moment after hearing her question. He didn't know why he was still here. He clearly wanted to come here to find out the culprit, but in the end he ended up like this.

"I..." Bai Muyun hesitated for a long time but couldn't make out what he meant.

"Forget it, since you are here, Muyun, come and play in the water with me." Li Wanji took the initiative to hold Bai Muyun's arm and said with a smile.

Bai Muyun was a little overwhelmed by her sudden intimate behavior. He wanted to push her away, but he couldn't bear to do so.

In the end, he let Li Wanji hold his arm, and the two walked into the lake together.

"By the way, A Yuan, Jiji and the others are probably too busy. You go back and help deal with them first. I'll be back later." Li Wanji turned to Lu Mingyuan and said.

"Can……"

"Go quickly! We're too busy on the mountain."

As she spoke, she deliberately winked at Lu Mingyuan, signaling him not to say anything more, because she was not sure what Bai Muyun would do next.

Seeing this, although Lu Mingyuan felt bitter, he also knew that this was not the time to speak, so he could only remain silent.

He looked at Li Wanji deeply, and the stars in his eyes slowly dimmed, turning into a touch of sadness.

Between myself and Bai Muyun, I will always be the one abandoned by her.

Then he turned and left, his back looking a little lonely.

Bai Muyun saw all their little actions, and he had no interest in stopping them at the moment. He wanted to see how long Li Wanji could continue to act.

Seeing Lu Mingyuan disappear from her sight, Li Wanji finally let go of her worries.

Bai Muyun watched Li Wanji's nervous expression relax and couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

He frowned and said in a sour tone: "Why, you care about him a lot? Are you really that afraid that I will kill him?"

Li Wanji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why do you care? He is just one of my guys."

"Dude?" Bai Muyun raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not believing it.

"Yeah, man." Li Wanji repeated, then changed the subject: "Muyun, it's a rare opportunity for you to come here, let's have some fun."

This woman really has great acting skills!

He knew clearly that she was acting, but every time he saw her like this, he could never harden his heart.

Li Wanji also knew that Bai Muyun was not so easy to fool. She immediately put on a pitiful expression and carefully observed Bai Muyun's reaction.

At this moment, Bai Muyun's eyes were cold, and a chilling murderous aura emanated from his body, as if it would erupt at any time.

"What? Are you scared now?" Bai Muyun asked coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Afraid? Muyun, what are you talking about? I can't wait to love you, how can I be afraid?"

Li Wanji held Bai Muyun's arm and spoke gently, trying to break through his defenses with tenderness.

"Master Li is truly a benevolent person. In order to let that kid leave without any worries, he even lied like this. It's ridiculous!"

Bai Muyun sneered and looked at her inquiringly, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

Yes, who is Bai Muyun? He is the young master of Bai Feng, the leader of the Bai Feng lineage. What kind of scene has he not seen?

He had already seen through everything in his heart, so how could he be fooled by a few words from this little goblin?

"Why, Master Bai, you're just jealous. People are telling you the truth, but you're not happy?"

Li Wanji knew that she had been exposed, so she simply stopped pretending and her tone returned to normal, even with a hint of ridicule.

"Master Li, are you not going to act anymore?" Bai Muyun looked at her with a smile, his tone hinting at teasing.

"Hmph, I don't want to act anymore. I'm tired." Li Wanji snorted coldly and shook off Bai Muyun's hand, looking angry.

"Haha, this is the Li Wanji I know. She's almost sick of all those beautiful girls just now."

Bai Muyun laughed out loud, as if the jealous person just now was completely different from the relaxed and happy person at this moment.

Li Wanji was a little confused. After spending a long time trying to figure out her true nature, this innocent little phoenix liked her.

It’s a pity that I spent so much effort pretending to be a pure and innocent little girl. It’s really a waste of my 25-cent acting skills!

"When did Young Master Bai come back?" Li Wanji put away her thoughts and adopted a businesslike tone.

"I just arrived and happened to see you and that boy being so affectionate. I'm really jealous!"

The word "jealousy" sounded a bit jealous when it came out of Bai Muyun's mouth, and it was obvious that he had not completely calmed down.

"Jealous? Young Master Bai, you are the Young Master Bai Feng. Even if you want the stars in the sky, it is just a matter of moving your fingers. Why do you have to do this?" Li Wanji curled her lips and said disapprovingly.

"That's wrong. Those illusory stars are not as real as you, Master Li!"

Bai Muyun knew that Li Wanji was used to praising others when she spoke, and he had experienced this before. This time he would not be easily fooled as before.

Li Wanji was a little speechless. This Bai Muyun was really good at taking advantage of others and dared to respond to anything they said.

"Young Master Bai, aren't you back in Fengdu? Why are you in Yunmengze?" Li Wanji changed the subject and asked Bai Muyun the purpose of his visit.

"Nothing much, just dealing with some unfinished business." Bai Muyun's answer was rather vague, and he obviously didn't want to reveal too much information.

After all, the Phoenix Clan's search for the Fire Phoenix is ​​a matter of great importance, and he doesn't want it to be known by irrelevant people and cause trouble.

Li Wanji also tactfully did not continue to ask. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and even she could not open her heart to others without reservation.

"Wan Ji, you refused to go back to Fengdu with me that day. Was it because of that human cultivator?"

Bai Muyun hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in his mind.

Although he tried his best to appear calm, this matter was still a thorn in his heart, and he would not be able to sleep or eat unless he got to the bottom of it.

"Master Bai, we mountain demons are different from your Phoenix Clan. We will not stick to the agreement of one person for life."

Li Wanji looked into Bai Muyun's eyes and spoke seriously, trying to make him understand the difference in concepts between the mountain monsters and the Phoenix clan.

"Besides, the framework and dogma of your Phoenix Clan are too heavy. I can't live a day in such a restricted life."

"Master Bai, I don't like to tie myself to one person just because of a marriage contract or some promise. I, Li Wanji, was born to travel around the world and take revenge."

Bai Muyun remained silent. He was not a fool, so he naturally understood what Li Wanji meant.

He felt mixed emotions, including the disappointment of being rejected by Li Wanji and the envy of the mountain demon's free and easy attitude towards life.

As the young master of the Phoenix clan, he carries the expectations of the entire Phoenix clan on his shoulders. He has been bound by various rules and etiquette since he was a child. When has he ever had a day of freedom?

"So... you chose that human monk?"

Bai Muyun finally asked. He just wanted to know who was more important to Li Wanji, him or that human cultivator.

"Master Bai, you are wrong. I have never chosen anyone. My life has always been my own decision. How can there be a choice?"

Li Wanji looked into Bai Muyun's eyes and said seriously.

In her outlook on life, there have never been any constraints or rules. Everything she does is from her heart and follows her heart.

Bai Muyun was touched by her words, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, which was a yearning for freedom and unrestrainedness.

He suddenly envied Li Wanji's free and unrestrained life. How happy it would be to live a life that was not bound by anything!

However, he still hadn't gotten the answer he wanted, and he couldn't let it go, so he kept asking, "So how do you treat him..."

"Master Bai, we mountain monsters are different from your Phoenix Clan. We don't have as many rules and restrictions as you do."

Li Wanji interrupted Bai Muyun and put on a serious expression.

"Although I, Li Wanji, like to walk among a myriad of flowers without getting a single leaf on me, I am definitely not a fickle person."

"If I like someone, I will love them with all my heart. If I don't like them, I will never drag my feet even if we are engaged."

"Although I only spent half a year with that human cultivator, he made me feel more relaxed and at ease than ever before."

"I don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing, I don't have to worry about the difference in status, and I don't have to care about the world's perspective."

“That feeling is really good.”

A hint of tenderness flashed in Li Wanji's eyes, and she was obviously recalling every moment she spent with Lu Mingyuan.

In fact, it has nothing to do with love, we just like being together.

Li Wanji spoke out her thoughts in one breath. She knew that this might offend Bai Muyun, but in fact, she respected him and did not want to treat him in a perfunctory manner.

She would rather Bai Muyun resented and hated her than have an unclear relationship between them and let him cling to her like he was today.

Bai Muyun was silent. He felt mixed emotions: loss, jealousy, and a hint of envy.

As the young master of the Phoenix clan, he has everything except freedom and ease.

"What about me?" Bai Muyun suddenly asked. He wanted to know what position he held in Li Wanji's heart.

"Master Bai, I will always remember all your kindness to me."

Li Wanji looked into Bai Muyun's eyes, and she could feel his complicated mood at the moment.

"I respect you, value you, and consider you my best friend."

"But that's it."

Li Wanji slowly uttered the last four words, as if she had used up all her strength.

"Then...what about that night?" Bai Muyun's body stiffened and he looked at Li Wanji in disbelief.

He was unwilling to accept the fact. Was their passionate love that night just a misunderstanding?
