Chapter 40
I'm Willing to Believe Your Lies

The next morning.

Ao Qing walked out of Hua Yun's room.

When he reached the hall.

Bai Su Zhen, with a hesitant expression, was already waiting.

Xiao Qing held her arm and secretly winked at Ao Qing.

Ao Qing gave her a reassuring look, then turned to Bai Su Zhen and said in a gentle voice:

“Let's go, you'll believe me.”

Bai Su Zhen looked up at Ao Qing, a little confused, a little scared.

She didn't know if there really was such a secret technique in the world.

But if there really was.

Then the person she owed a debt to, would it be Ao Qing?

She looked at the solemn man not far away, and the quiet pulse in her heart surged again.

Yes.

She thought about it before.

Why wasn't Ao Qing the one she repaid?

Now, it seemed like this phrase was going to come true.

Bai Su Zhen was a little excited, and she also felt a hint of anticipation.

On the other side of Yu Hang Town.

Xu Jiao Rong and Li Gong Fu, along with a young man of seventeen or eighteen, left the house and headed towards the Dragon King Temple.

Shortly after the three of them left.

Yan Zhi and Bai Ling walked out of the corner and exchanged glances, using their transformation techniques to become Xu Jiao Rong and Xu Xian.

Yan Zhi, transformed into Xu Jiao Rong, coughed lightly and stretched her limbs, getting used to her new form.

“Be careful, the disguise must not be compromised.”

“Master said that the Jie is unpredictable, and anything could happen.”

Bai Ling, transformed into Xu Xian, coughed softly to adjust his voice.

“What if something unexpected happens, what should we do?”

Yan Zhi pointed at the door lock and a cold expression appeared on Xu Jiao Rong's face.

“Do what mortals do.”

“If something unexpected happens, Master will take care of it.”

Bai Ling said no more, blinked his eyes, and walked into Xu Xian's room to read a book.

Yan Zhi began to clean the house, waiting for Bai Su Zhen's arrival.

Within Ling Yin Temple.

Ji Gong, who was being teased by Guang Liang, suddenly looked up.

He first looked towards Yu Hang Town, then towards Jin Shan Temple, and raised his hand to calculate.

Moments later.

Ji Gong suddenly lowered his hand, his face full of worry.

“Oh, oh, this little dragon is too bold, should this monk help him or not.”

“Help, he'll anger that big black snake.”

“Don't help, he doesn't know I know someone is going to intercept his Jie.”

“It's just that this monk feels bad about it.”

...

Leaving the underwater palace again.

But for Bai Su Zhen, this time felt completely different from her previous departures.

She was about to face her Jie and verify if Ao Qing's words were true.

She hoped Ao Qing was telling the truth, but she also secretly felt that with her willpower, she might be able to resist the arrival of this love Jie.

Ao Qing patted Bai Su Zhen's hand, reassuring her:

“Trust me.”

Bai Su Zhen lowered her eyes slightly, then suddenly reached out and held Ao Qing's hand.

“Let's go.”

Ao Qing took Bai Su Zhen to the town and held her hand as they walked slowly towards Xu Xian's house.

Suddenly.

He looked towards Jin Shan Temple, his eyes flashing.

“Xiao Bai, the troublemakers are here, I'll take care of them, can you wait for me back in the underwater palace?”

Bai Su Zhen looked at Ao Qing with a wistful gaze.

She had guessed something.

She sighed softly and forced a smile.

“Okay, I'll wait for you.”

With that, she turned and prepared to return to the underwater palace.

Just then.

An invisible golden rainbow flew from the direction of Ling Yin Temple.

A voice full of anger rang in Ao Qing's ears.

“You little dragon is so mischievous, this monk is going to be driven crazy by you!”

Ao Qing's expression softened, he whispered:

“Thank you, Arhat, for your help.”

He turned around and pulled Bai Su Zhen back, who was about to leave, and smiled.

“It's okay, Xiao Bai, let's go now.”

Bai Su Zhen looked at the direction outside the town, then at Ao Qing, hesitantly.

“Are you sure it's okay?”

Ao Qing held Bai Su Zhen's hand and comforted her.

“Just a monk who has committed the three poisons, don't worry, it's okay.”

Bai Su Zhen hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Ao Qing and smiled.

“Then let's go quickly.”

At this moment, Bai Su Zhen made up her mind.

Act quickly and decisively.

Whatever Ao Qing said, she would believe.

He said he had transferred her Jie, then she would believe him.

As for what to do afterwards.

Then leave it all to fate.

If heaven allows, she will face this love Jie with Ao Qing.

If heaven forbids, then since she had the courage to die with a stranger, she would have the determination to die with Ao Qing.

Ao Qing didn't know about the change in Bai Su Zhen's thoughts.

At this critical moment, he didn't even dare to fly or teleport, afraid of being sensed by Fa Hai and ruining this clumsy lie.

He held Bai Su Zhen's hand, first walking, then running.

The bustling crowds filled the streets.

Two figures, one green and one white, weaved through the crowds.

A man in green clothes, holding the hand of a woman in white, parting the crowds that surged towards them, clearing a path for the woman.

The woman in white followed closely behind the man in green, her gentle gaze focused solely on the person in front of her.

Forget about her savior.

She just wanted to be held by the man in front of her, the one who was working hard for her.

Even if it meant going against the flow.

Even if it meant death.

Thunder roared outside Yu Hang Town.

The crowd stopped, and countless eyes looked towards the direction outside the town.

There, Buddha light shone, a giant serpent crossed the sky, and a golden dragon roared, gathering wind and thunder.

Among the countless mortals looking up.

One green and one white, one dragon and one serpent, charged towards the lie they were both upholding.
