Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 778 - 778 778 Entered this Place by Mistake

778: Chapter 778: Entered this Place by Mistake 778: Chapter 778: Entered this Place by Mistake In a similar ancient, primitive forest, Lin Xi was being led with her hands tied, the other end of the rope in the hands of Jian Shen.

As such, she was reluctantly being forced to follow him,

Having walked a fair distance until her feet hurt, Lin Xi softly began to plead: “Jian Shen, where are you taking me?”

Jian Shen replied with a determined expression, “I am taking you to Qian Feng.

I want her to remove the magic on you.”

“No way, you’re going to confront Qian Feng…” The very thought made Lin Xi bitter.

At this time, Qian Feng definitely hated Qian Ye, the traitor, and was extremely temperamental.

Finding Qian Ye would be like seeking death, wouldn’t it?

Jian Shen added, “I believe Qian Feng must have done something to you, which is why you are so indifferent towards me.

I need to confront Qian Feng.”

“No, there’s nothing…!” Lin Xi grimaced and struggled to explain the situation.

At the time, Shennv Xuanhui had a mission that required Jian Shen’s power.

Therefore, Qian Ye was instructed to approach Jian Shen, pretending to court him, and to her surprise, Jian Shen fell genuinely in love with Qian Ye.

Concerned that Jian Shen would disclose the plan and ruin the opportunity Shennv Xuanhui had finally secured, Qian Ye fabricated the reason that Shennv Xuanhui prohibited its members from associating with any men.

As such, once Qian Feng found out, she would use magic to erase the feelings the sisterhood might have had for any man.

Again and again, Qian Ye urged Jian Shen to keep a low profile and not inform anyone about their relationship, lest it inadvertently reach Qian Feng’s ears.

Unexpectedly, Jian Shen took her words seriously.

He didn’t disclose his relationship with Qian Ye to anyone.

He truly believed he had found the most beautiful woman in the world and considered himself the luckiest man.

Later, Jian Shen unknowingly got used, assisting Shennv Xuanhui in an event that caused public outrage.

Even though Jian Shen became the public enemy in the Martial Arts world, he still refused to believe that Qian Ye had used him.

Eventually, when Jian Shen learned that Qian Ye had fled from Shennv Xuanhui, he believed Qian Ye was also being forced by Qian Feng, and that Qian Ye loved him deeply.

He believed Qian Ye had quarreled and fallen out with Qian Feng and fled from Shennv Xuanhui because she could not bear to continue to aid Shennv Xuanhui in hurting him.

But when Jian Shen found Qian Ye, he was met with a stranger — a supremely aloof Empress — and not the gentle woman from before.

Instead, she was incredibly indifferent, which reminded Jian Shen of Qian Ye’s saying, “Qian Feng could use her supernatural powers to erase a woman’s feelings for a man.”

A persistent Jian Shen believed Qian Ye had been subjected to a spell that caused her to forget her feelings for him.

So, he wanted to take Qian Ye away and find Qian Feng to remove the spell from her.

“Qian Ye, hold on a bit longer.

Once we find Qian Feng, I’ll make her remove the spell from you, and then we can be together again.

Rest assured, as long as I’m there, no one, including Qian Feng, can hurt you.” Jian Shen said, confidence and hope brimming in his eyes.

As she observed Jian Shen making his solemn pledge, Lin Xi couldn’t help but recall Qian Ye’s first meeting with Jian Shen – a true case of love at first sight.

Meeting each other again was just like old times; they both had an unprecedented feeling, as if they were destined for each other.

As time went by, Qian Ye and Jian Shen got along better and better, their relationship naturally evolving and solidifying into a romantic one.

However, Qian Ye was forever a member of Shennv Xuanhui, constantly watched over by Qian Feng and by many of her sisters, which put a lot of pressure on her.

Qian Feng even suggested that in order to prevent Qian Ye from being influenced emotionally and risk failing the mission, either Qian Feng would forcibly act, or Qian Ye could cast a spell herself to suppress her own emotions.

In the end, Qian Ye decided to, by her own hand, suppress her feelings for Jian Shen.

Even after using Jian Shen to reach her goal, making him a public enemy in the Martial Arts world, Qian Ye remained unemotional.

Latterly, Qian Ye had decided to flee from Shennv Xuanhui, she established the Kingdom of Qian Ye in the outer regions, and naturally, she lifted the spell suppressing her emotions.

However, as she became the Empress, she became fascinated with the power at her fingertips, which formed a different kind of emotional constraint.

So, by the time Jian Shen found her in the outer regions, Qian Ye, struggling between her feelings and her rights, chose the latter, leaving Jian Shen a regret locked in her heart.

Now, Lin Xi found herself walking side-by-side with Jian Shen – with the man whom she’d loved deeply in her past life.

It seemed her past life’s regrets might be remedied.

Under the sweltering heat, Jian Shen, although drained of energy, could not withstand the length of their journey.

He wiped sweat from his forehead and handed a water flask to Lin Xi, saying, “The heat is brutal, have a sip of water first.”

Lin Xi was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected that Jian Shen would still be the same, always putting the woman he loved first before himself.

Feeling warmth fill her heart at that moment, she gracefully smiled, took a sip and handed the water flask back to Jian Shen.

“You should take a sip too, it’s a long journey and you don’t want to exhaust yourself.”

After hearing this, Jian Shen stood stunned for a while; it had been a long time since he had heard Qian Ye speak to him with such tenderness.

For an instant, it felt like his deeply beloved had returned.

At this point, Lin Xi extended her hand, gently wiping away the sweat on Jian Shen’s forehead.

That warm gesture, coupled with her astonishing beauty, was irresistible to any man.

In that moment, Lin Xi made a resolve: since fate had provided her with an opportunity to fill in the blanks of her past life, she decided to seize it.

Jian Shen grabbed Lin Xi’s hand, too moved for words.

Lin Xi couldn’t help but laugh, the two stared at each other, see nothing but deep affection in each other’s eyes.

The feelings between them drew them closer still as if a voice in the other’s heart was calling out, urging them to draw nearer.

Jian Shen gently kissed Lin Xi’s forehead, a feeling of ultimate satisfaction enveloped him; the familiar feeling was finally back.

However, just as they were having such a sweet moment, a peculiar sound from the woods brought both Lin Xi and Jian Shen back to reality.

“Who’s there!” Jian Shen lunged forward with his sword, releasing his Jian Qi, which split a tree, scaring the person hiding behind it to fall to the ground.

Seeing the man’s attire, Lin Xi furrowed her brows.

She remembered an incident from her past life: during a battle in this ancient forest, she had come across a historical town.

She had trusted the townsfolk to guide her army, but they had fallen into a trap set by the townsfolk.

She didn’t just lose soldiers; she was also almost hit by an arrow.

In her rage, Qian Ye put a harmful curse on the town.

Even after returning, Qian Ye still didn’t understand why the townsfolk turned against her.

Was it jealousy towards something beautiful?
