Chapter 288.4 - Sowing Discord



Chapter 288.4: Sowing Discord

Ever since he lost Qing Luo Yan’s trust, he seldom showed himself before people anymore. Even when he came to encounter anyone, he would merely nod briefly in greeting, no longer his haughty and arrogant self, keeping a very low profile.

But meeting him this time, he did not try to avoid her.

Qing Yu curved up the corners of her lips as she walked slowly over to stand beside the man to gaze admiringly up at the full moon together and said with a smile on her face: “I heard that the Grand Priest has great powers of divinity and a mere astronomical phenomenon should not pose any difficulty to one of your skills. I wonder why is there suddenly a piece of the moon missing like that, are you able to determine what is the reason for that?”

“Don’t you already know it?” Cang Jian asked in an emotionless voice.

“Know what?” Qing Yu raised an eyebrow to ask the man in return.

Cang Jian laughed scoffingly and turned around to look at her, a scornful expression on his face. “There is only you and I here now. Is there still a need for all this pretense?”

“What is the Grand Priest talking about? I am really getting more and more befuddled.” Qing Yu shook her head and said helplessly.

“My priestly powers have been completely destroyed. Are you saying you do not know that?” Cang Jian’s mouth split into a sinister smile. “From the time that I went to the Scroll Chamber to ask you about getting the manual on techniques for priest, you were already aware of that fact weren’t you?”

“Is it?” Qing Yu blinked her eyes innocently. “If the Grand Priest did not say it, I really wouldn’t have known! Afterall, your actions did not show that anything was amiss.....”

“Ha!” Cang Jian seemed to be losing his patience, and there was not a single hint of a smile on his face anymore.

“Stop playing games already. I just want to ask you one thing.”

“What is it?”

“What is the real cause of the Temple Lord’s insomnia. Don’t you think you should at least explain the real reason behind that to me?” Cang Jian said in a self depreciating voice.

Looks like there is some redeeming quality in the man at least. She had thought that it would be a long long time before he would come to react!

Thinking about that, Qing YU could not help but to put on a sweet beautiful smile on her face. “How dull. I have been discovered by the Grand Priest.”

“It was really you that was up to no good!”

Cang Jian’s eyes flared wide in utter disbelief. That such a frail and innocent looking little lass who looked so pitiful all the time, a weakling who was lucky enough to come here from the lower realms, would actually have the audacity to do something like this.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will go tell the Temple Lord?” Cang Jian asked in a deep voice.

“So what if you do? Moreover, you wouldn’t go tell her about it.”

Qing Yu then said smilingly: “Doesn’t the Grand Priest hold the slightest bit of hatred against her deep in your heart at all? That woman only thinks of you when you are of some use to her, and at other times, you are abandoned and thrown out like old shoes. Hasn’t the Grand Priest learnt to see what kind of a person she really is from this incident? Then it looks like I have really worked so hard at this for nothing!”
