The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#517 - Psychic

When Yan Jun spoke these words, her tone was as calm as ever. Lu Jing couldn't discern what she was really thinking from her tone or speed of speech. Reading М

"This… I guess you could say that," Lu Jing said after thinking for a moment.

Then, Yan Jun softly said 'Oh,' still without revealing any joy or sorrow. After a moment, she added, "Congratulations. Xiao Chuan is a good girl, and the Wen family has always had excellent taste in choosing sons-in-law. Men in the Jianghu are proud to become a Wen family son-in-law. Your ability to become one is a testament to your strength."

"Uh, my situation might be a bit special. I don't know if I can really be considered a Wen family son-in-law," Lu Jing said.

"What's so special?" Yan Jun frowned.

Before Lu Jing could open his mouth, the sound of a bowstring suddenly reached his ears. Then, something flew out of the white mist.

By the time Lu Jing saw the arrow in the air, it had already reached Yan Jun's face.

But then, Yan Jun suddenly raised her hand and actually caught the flying arrow. Then, she casually tossed it aside.

Immediately afterwards, her figure moved, and she disappeared from her original spot.

After only a few breaths, Lu Jing heard a scream from the southeast corner. Then, Yan Jun silently returned behind Lu Jing.

This time, however, she intentionally put some distance between herself and Lu Jing, no longer standing back-to-back.

When Yan Jun heard Lu Jing say this, she didn't press him further.

The two of them stayed in the thick fog, dealing with the occasional sneak attack.

After a while, Yan Jun saw that [Gui Zi Lu Shi Lu] still hadn't unleashed any major attacks, so she said to Lu Jing, "You and I can handle this level of attack alone. There's no need for both of us to waste time together. Why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while, and then come back to relieve me in two hours?"

Lu Jing had actually been thinking the same thing for a while, but he didn't want to bring it up himself, as it would sound like he was planning to run away. Seeing Yan Jun take the initiative, Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and readily agreed.

He relied on his memory to find the stairs, then climbed up to the fifth floor in one breath. Afterwards, Lu Jing turned back and glanced down.

With the density of the fog at this time, Lu Jing didn't expect to see anything.

But he didn't know why, even though there was nothing in front of him, Lu Jing's gaze seemed to penetrate the large expanse of white mist and see Yan Jun below, who was also looking up.

The two of them looked at each other, both with surprise on their faces.

Then, Lu Jing shuddered and retreated from that strange state.

If it hadn't been for Yan Jun accurately finding him before, even though she didn't know he was there, Lu Jing would have thought that what had just happened was just his imagination. But now, he couldn't help but take it seriously.

What was this, telepathy?

Lu Jing had seen some movies and novels in his previous life and knew that some people could achieve telepathic communication, but this kind of thing usually happened to twins, or at least relatives with blood ties.

But Lu Jing and Yan Jun obviously didn't belong to this category.

If it were someone else, they might be a little suspicious, but Lu Jing himself knew very well that he wasn't from this world, so naturally there couldn't be any Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing development with Yan Jun.

But in that case, why could he have telepathy with Yan Jun?

Lu Jing tried hard to recall. The most direct connection between him and Yan Jun might have been that kiss that night.

But Lu Jing didn't really believe in the idea of a kiss leading to telepathy.

Wait… A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Lu Jing's mind. Speaking of blood ties, he really remembered something.

Wang Wan had found a pair of siblings among the refugees to replace her two children so that she could obtain powerful power without cultivation.

Afterwards, she refined the siblings into Void Ghosts. As a result, one of the Void Ghosts was directly refined by Lu Jing into the secret cauldron in his upper dantian, while the other Void Ghost successfully took Yan Jun's secret cauldron.

Although Lu Jing had saved Yan Jun according to Wang Wan's last words before her death, Wang Wan didn't seem to mention what would happen to the other one afterwards.

Could it be that this strange connection between them was because of those two Void Ghosts?

Thinking of this, Lu Jing couldn't help but be startled. Could Yan Jun still be in danger?

Could that Void Ghost have gone from seizing the cauldron to seizing her body, and then gradually swallowing her mind? After all, Lu Jing had read a lot of such plots in the web novels he had read before.

But Lu Jing recalled Yan Jun's actions and felt that other than the conversation in the white mist just now, she didn't seem to have changed much from before.

Moreover, according to her previous statement, whether it was cultivation or daily activities, her body had not had any abnormalities.

However, Lu Jing still found it difficult to completely let go of his worries.

It seems that he can only slowly study it after this matter is over.

But what made Lu Jing embarrassed was that after revealing his relationship with Wen Xiao Chuan, he was now a little afraid to see Yan Jun again.

Where did this inexplicable feeling of being caught cheating come from?

Speaking of cheating, Lu Jing thought of Xia Huai and Wen Xiao Chuan in the room, and a wry smile appeared on his lips again.

With Yan Jun's usual indifference, she had observed the intimacy between Wen Xiao Chuan and him. How could Xia Huai not have noticed?

Just now, he and Yan Jun were below fighting the enemy, leaving Wen Xiao Chuan and Xia Huai upstairs. He didn't know if the two of them had talked about things related to him, and what Wen Xiao Chuan had said.

Although there was no benefit to her if the matter of being a concubine spread, Lu Jing couldn't guarantee that Wen Xiao Chuan wouldn't use some excessive means to solve the problem after discovering the "danger."

This woman has never been an easy character.

But fortunately, after Lu Jing pushed open the door, he didn't see any Shura field inside.

Both Wen Xiao Chuan and Xia Huai seemed to be friendly, taking care of Xuan Ji, who had bumped her head.

Although Lu Jing had a good grasp of the strength and angle of that throw, successfully throwing Xuan Ji to the top floor of the storage, he hadn't practiced any proper hidden weapon techniques after all. In the end, there was a small problem when she landed. Xuan Ji landed head first and was knocked dizzy.
