Chapter 990: Chapter 124: Three Years_2
People gasped in astonishment, and the scene quickly fell silent.
“Are you Zhao Linger?!”
The newcomer was a female cultivator, who sized up Zhao Linger from head to toe.
Seeing that a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage had descended, Zhao Linger didn’t dare to act rashly and quickly performed a respectful greeting.
“Senior, I am Zhao Linger, a good friend of Zhao Linglong, the main character of this banquet. To have me placed here, could there have been a mistake…”
The foundation-stage female cultivator sneered and raised her hand to set up a sound-insulating barrier, enveloping them both within it.
“Are you unaware of what you have done yourself?”
“A year ago, you schemed against Zhao Linglong, and you still expect her to treat you sincerely?!”
“Not to hide it from you, Zhao Linglong had me bring a message, that from now on, our friendship is over…”
“Ah?!”
Zhao Linger was stunned.
She hadn’t expected such an event on this most important of banquets.
She instantly realized that Jingang had told Zhao Linglong about their past dealings.
After all, only she and Jingang knew the truth when they schemed against Sister Hu back then.
How dare he?!
Zhao Linger hadn’t expected that Jingang would dare to reveal such words to Zhao Linglong.
In her view, Jingang would keep it from Zhao Linglong forever, as it was their mutual plot against Zhao Linglong.
“Surprised, aren’t you?!”
The foundation-stage female cultivator sneered, “Did you think everyone is like you?!”
“My brother told Zhao Linglong about it a long time ago, he loves her…”
“So instead of letting you manipulate Zhao Linglong, it’s better for him to come clean and let Zhao Linglong choose for herself…”
“Also, I can tell you, Zhao Linglong said that although you schemed against her, she doesn’t regret it. She has been very happy with my brother Jingang, experiencing happiness like never before…”
“However, considering your efforts in matchmaking, here’s a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward; from now on, we shall have nothing to do with each other…”
Saying so, the foundation-stage female cultivator tossed over a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Zhao Linger quickly caught it, bowed, and said, “I understand, please thank Zhao Linglong for me…”
She was a very realistic woman and quickly understood the situation.
That is, Jingang did not want Zhao Linglong to mistakenly believe Zhao Linger was a close friend.
After all, she wasn’t—rather, she was the one exploiting Zhao Linglong.
“You’re quite sensible, saving me the trouble!”
The foundation-stage female cultivator smiled and said, “In the future, don’t do things under the guise of Zhao Linglong’s name, nor seek her out, or else, you die, and the Zhao family won’t be able to protect you, understand?!”
“Understood!”
Zhao Linger quickly bowed her head in response.
“Good!”
The foundation-stage female cultivator withdrew the sound-insulating cover, rose, and flew away.
The people around immediately crowded in.
“Second Miss, the senior just gave you a Foundation Establishment Pill, was it from Zhao Linglong?”
“Second Miss, what were you two talking about?!”
Many people were overly excited, as most of them were from the Zhao family, naturally sharing in the glory.
“Nothing…nothing!”
Zhao Linger didn’t want to show weakness in front of others, frowned, and said, “What do you think was the point of setting up a sound-insulating cover by that senior? Don’t you understand?!”
At these words, everyone else suddenly realized, and quickly shut their mouths, no longer daring to inquire further.
Not to mention that the foundation-stage female cultivator was from the Jingang Family, even a regular foundation-stage cultivator wasn’t someone they could afford to offend.
“Hey, isn’t that the silly boy?”
Finally, someone noticed Zhao Yu’s presence and called out.
Many turned their heads and looked over.
“Is he the man who was once with Zhao Linglong?!”
“Why is he here?!”
“Don’t know…”
“If he’s here, there must be an invitation!”
“How is that possible? Zhao Linglong is already with Jingang, dare he still contact her?!”
“Speaking of which, won’t Zhao Linglong come looking for him?!”
“Very likely!”
Under the gaze of others, Zhao Yu calmly found a seat and settled down, starting to eat and drink.
Seeing his figure, Zhao Linger’s eyes lit up, thinking like the others that Zhao Linglong might come; she thus took the initiative to approach the table where Zhao Yu was seated.
Thinking that when Zhao Linglong arrived, she could play on their past emotions, perhaps there was a chance to make amends.
After all, compared to a single Foundation Establishment Pill, maintaining a good relationship with Zhao Linglong was more important.
In her view, Zhao Linglong was a money tree. As long as she could cling to her, not to mention the Foundation Establishment Stage, even a future Golden Core held immense possibilities.
That woman had only told me not to seek Zhao Linglong, but she didn’t say I couldn’t see her if Zhao Linglong came to me.
With that in mind, Zhao Linger casually exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhao Yu at the dining table.
About half an hour later, a massive projection screen descended.
It clearly showed the banquet atop the mountain.
“It’s Zhao Linglong and Jingang!”
People exclaimed in excitement.
“Big move, although we are at the midpoint of the mountain, we can still watch the events atop via this huge broadcast screen…”
“Where is Zhao Linglong?!”
“Could that be her?!”
People scanned the scene and spotted a significantly tall woman resembling Zhao Linglong.
At that moment, not only the others but Zhao Linger too was greatly surprised.
The current Zhao Linglong, far from her previous country girl demeanor, truly bore the appearance of a wealthy family’s daughter, exuding an exceptional aura.
Zhao Yu also looked up with slight curiosity.
Seeing Zhao Linglong blissfully leaning against Jingang, the couple harmoniously attending to their guests, he smiled.
