Chapter 736: I Am the Man You Can't Have
Qin Yi took in Bai Jingqing's expression entirely, it seemed this woman still had feelings for Mo Wuji.
"Mo Wuji, what are you doing?" Bai Jingqing was someone adept at hiding her thoughts, which was related to her identity and character. As the Holy Daughter of Baihua Pavilion, if she wore her heart on her sleeve, how could she maintain her sanctity?
Mo Wuji grew more nervous.
Qin Yi shook his head helplessly, "Old Mo, don't you have something to give to Fairy Bai?"
"Ah, right." Mo Wuji snapped back to reality, bit his lip, took out the heart-shaped stone, held it with both hands, and said nervously, "This, this is for you."
Even with Bai Jingqing's cold demeanor, her emotions unexpressed, seeing that heart-shaped gemstone still made her blush.
"Why are you giving this to me?" Bai Jingqing asked with a faint smile in her eyes.
"I, I..."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, this blockhead.
"Old Mo, hurry up and say it." Qin Yi was anxious for him; the girl had already asked, and he still wouldn't confess his feelings?
Unexpectedly, as Mo Wuji opened his mouth, an explosion and the clash of weapons suddenly came from the front.
Qin Yi instinctively turned to look.
Mo Wuji also turned around, and Qin Yi couldn't help but kick him, "Hurry up and say it."
"Someone's fighting up ahead." Mo Wuji said.
Qin Yi: "..."
"Damn, is that what I asked you to say? You fool."
"Brother Qin, we better go and check it out."
Qin Yi really wanted to kick this guy to death, "Don't worry about that, you do what you need to do."
Mo Wuji gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage, "Brother Qin, I like you."
Qin Yi shivered in shock.
Bai Jingqing, Zi Yuan, and the third woman were all dumbfounded, completely stunned.
"Who did you say you liked?" Bai Jingqing asked incredulously.
Mo Wuji, startled and confused, replied, "I said I like you, Junior Sister Bai. I'm serious, I can swear, I've liked you for over ten years."
"But you just said you liked Qin Yi."
"Huh?" Mo Wuji was dumbfounded.
"You said it yourself just now. Everyone heard it." Bai Jingqing said.
Mo Wuji trembled all over, looking tense, "Did I really say that?"
Zi Yuan and the other two women nodded simultaneously.
"I, I misspoke, it was a slip of the tongue, really a slip of the tongue. Junior Sister Bai, I like you, really, I..." Mo Wuji stammered nervously.
Bai Jingqing stepped forward, reached out, and took the heart-shaped gemstone from Mo Wuji's hand, expressionless, and said, "When people are nervous, they often speak the truth. I wish you and Qin Yi happiness. What era is this? I won't discriminate against you."
After speaking, she walked towards the front, a hint of mischievousness in her eyes.
Mo Wuji was completely dumbfounded, his face blank.
Qin Yi walked up and patted his shoulder.
Mo Wuji looked at Qin Yi with vacant eyes, "Brother Qin, I think I failed."
"It's okay." Qin Yi said suspiciously, "But you have to tell me, since when did you start liking me?"
"No, a slip of the tongue, really a slip of the tongue, I only like Junior Sister Bai." Mo Wuji explained nervously.
Qin Yi patted his shoulder again, teasing, "Actually, liking me is no big deal. After all, I'm so handsome, attracting a guy or two is normal. But unfortunately, my orientation is quite normal. So I'm destined to be the man you can't have."
Mo Wuji was full of helplessness, "Brother Qin, you have to believe me, I was really too nervous just now, my orientation is normal too."
"You say you're almost thirty, still a virgin. You say your orientation is normal, do you believe it yourself?"
Mo Wuji was about to open his mouth to explain, but Qin Yi quickly said, "Old Mo, it's okay. Liking men is nothing? I won't discriminate against you."
After speaking, Qin Yi stood up and walked towards the place of the fight.
Qin Yi walked for a while and saw Bai Jingqing standing in front, slowly approached her, and looked ahead.
"Hmm?"
Qin Yi looked surprised; a large ship was parked tens of meters ahead, but this ship was different from the one they had seen before. It was equally large, but this ship was very new and crowded with people, whose attire was similar to the armored men they had seen before.
A dozen armored men were fighting on the sand in front, and their opponents were Fang Ran and the disciples and followers of the Five Great Families.
"What's going on here?"
Qin Yi and Bai Jingqing turned to see Mo Wuji coming over.
However, neither of them answered Mo Wuji's question, making Mo Wuji look embarrassed.
Actually, it wasn't that they didn't want to answer, but they hadn't figured it out either.
The previous big ship was like a ghost ship, dead silent. But this new big ship was full of life, and judging by these people's aura, their cultivation levels weren't low.
"What should we do now?" Bai Jingqing asked.
Qin Yi smiled, "Fang Ran is right in front of you. You can go help kill them."
"Why don't you go?" Bai Jingqing asked.
Qin Yi shrugged, "Because I'm the one Old Mo likes, I'm afraid you'll fight me for him, so I send you to die."
Bai Jingqing: "..."
Mo Wuji was so embarrassed he almost wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Brother Qin, I'm begging you, please don't make fun of me anymore. It was really a slip of the tongue."
"Really?" Qin Yi's eyes were strange, "But I think you were telling the truth earlier, liking me isn't shameful."
"Can't you two stop flaunting your relationship in front of me?" Bai Jingqing said coldly.
Qin Yi's eyes were teasing, "What? Jealous?"
Bai Jingqing pursed her lips, giving Qin Yi a blank look, letting him interpret it himself.
Qin Yi silently chuckled, watching the battle ahead; the armored men clearly had the upper hand.
Fang Ran and his group, along with disciples and followers from various families, were down to only seven or eight people, most of them already wounded. If not for Fang Ran, these people would have been killed long ago.
"It seems like Fang Ran and Lei Bao got separated." Qin Yi said indifferently.
Mo Wuji said, "The enemy of my enemy is a friend. This terrain is strange, and meeting Fang Ran here is not easy, we definitely can't let him escape. I think we can help and slay Fang Ran."
Qin Yi and Bai Jingqing remained silent.
Mo Wuji was stunned, not knowing what to do due to the awkwardness.
After a long time, Qin Yi slowly spoke, "The enemy of an enemy is not necessarily a friend. The people on this big ship should be the guardians of this place, specifically clearing out intruders, and we are also intruders. If we go up, we might get attacked by them."
"Brother Qin, what should we do then?"
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then smiled, "Watch the show. If these people kill Fang Ran and the others, we quietly retreat to avoid unnecessary trouble. Let's not meet these people."
Mo Wuji and the others nodded slightly.
Ahead, sand continuously exploded, and the clash of swords and blades was unending.
Puff!
A disciple from the Fang family was slain, blood splattering on the spot.
