Chapter 842 Misunderstanding

Ye Linglong's slender fingers trembled slightly, and every word on the letter was imprinted on her heart like a branding iron. The things described in the letter were too incredible. If the handwriting was not indeed from the little junior sister she had not seen for many years, she would never believe it.

"This is impossible," Ye Linglong murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief. The letter said that Gu Jiuchen secretly colluded with the Demon Cult to obtain a certain forbidden technique in exchange for a place in the Tianxian Sect in the troubled times. The letter also mentioned the specific time and place of the transaction, and even the items traded were described clearly. All kinds of details made people believe it.

Gu Jiuchen saw Ye Linglong's pale face, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart. "Linglong, what happened?" He reached out to take the letter, but Ye Linglong suddenly dodged it.

"Where did you get this letter?" Ye Linglong's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of pain and struggle.

Gu Jiuchen's heart sank. He knew that Ye Linglong had doubted the contents of the letter. "This is my private matter. You don't need to ask." He said coldly, trying to avoid the topic.

Ye Linglong's heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp blade. Gu Jiuchen's avoidance was undoubtedly a tacit approval of the contents of the letter in her opinion. "Private matter? Collaborating with the Demon Cult and betraying the righteous path, is this also a private matter?" Her voice suddenly rose, and tears burst out.

Gu Jiuchen's face changed, and he realized the seriousness of the matter. "Linglong, listen to my explanation." He wanted to step forward to explain, but was pushed away by Ye Linglong.

"Explanation? What else is there to explain!" Ye Linglong's eyes were tearful and full of grief. "I was really blind to believe you!" After that, she threw the letter paper hard on Gu Jiuchen and turned and ran away.

Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong's back as she left, and his heart was full of bitterness and helplessness. He knew that the appearance of this letter had planted a seed of suspicion between him and Ye Linglong, and it would not be easy to eliminate this suspicion.

At this time, he had to deal with more urgent matters in the sect first. He took a deep breath, held the letter tightly in his hand, and turned to walk towards the meeting hall. He knew that a bigger conspiracy was quietly approaching, and he had to find out the truth as soon as possible to protect Ye Linglong and the Tianxian Sect.

In the evening, Mingyue came to Ye Linglong's room and saw that she looked haggard and her eyes were red and swollen. She had obviously cried. Mingyue was worried and asked with concern: "Linglong, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Ye Linglong shook her head and didn't want to say more. The content of the letter was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making her breathless. She couldn't believe that the man she loved deeply would be such a person!

Seeing that Ye Linglong didn't want to say more, Mingyue stopped asking questions and just stayed with her silently, hoping to give her some comfort. However, Ye Linglong's heart had already been turned upside down by the anonymous letter, and she could not calm down.

Mingyue was even more worried when she saw Ye Linglong like this. She knew Ye Linglong and knew that although she was lively and cheerful on weekdays, she was very sensitive and fragile deep down. Now seeing her so heartbroken, something must have happened.

"Linglong, what's wrong with you? Tell me if you have anything, don't keep it in your heart." Mingyue held Ye Linglong's hand and said softly, "We are the best sisters, I will always be with you."

Ye Linglong's tears burst out again, and she held Mingyue's hand tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. "Mingyue, do you think he will lie to me?"

Mingyue was stunned, and she vaguely guessed something in her heart, but she didn't dare to draw conclusions easily. "Linglong, don't think too much, I believe he is not that kind of person."

"But" Ye Linglong hesitated to speak, she wanted to tell Mingyue about the anonymous letter, but she was afraid that this would tarnish Gu Jiuchen's image in her heart.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open and Xuanfeng walked in. He saw Ye Linglong's red and swollen eyes, and his heart sank. He knew that he came at the wrong time, but there were some things that he had to make clear.

"Linglong, I know you are in a bad mood, but I hope you can listen to my explanation." Xuanfeng walked in front of Ye Linglong and said solemnly, "The letter is fake. Someone deliberately instigated discord."

"Fake?" Ye Linglong raised her head and looked at Xuanfeng with tears in her eyes, "How do you know it's fake?"

Xuanfeng sighed and told Ye Linglong the whole story. It turned out that the anonymous letter was deliberately forged by the demon cult messenger, with the purpose of alienating the relationship between Ye Linglong and Gu Jiuchen, thereby weakening the strength of the Tianxian Sect.

However, Ye Linglong was overwhelmed by sadness and anger at this time, and could not listen to Xuanfeng's explanation at all. "I don't believe it! Why did he avoid my questions? If he really has a clear conscience, why didn't he dare to confront me face to face?"

Xuanfeng wanted to explain again, but was interrupted by Ye Linglong. "That's enough. I don't want to hear any more explanations!" She stood up suddenly and threw the teacup in her hand to the ground. The fragments flew everywhere, just like her broken heart.

Xuanfeng looked at Ye Linglong's distraught back, his heart full of worry and helplessness. He knew that his explanation alone could not eliminate the doubts in Ye Linglong's heart. At this time, the demon cult messenger hiding in the dark had a cold smile on his face. He knew that his plan was half successful. Next, he only needed to add fuel to the fire to completely destroy the relationship between Ye Linglong and Gu Jiuchen.

The demon cult messenger hid in the dark, witnessed all this, and was secretly proud in his heart. He knew that Ye Linglong was stubborn and proud, and once she made up her mind, it was difficult to change. Now that she had doubts about Gu Jiuchen, it was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation.

A black shadow flashed by, and the demon cult messenger quietly left the room. He did not go far, but hid outside Ye Linglong's yard, waiting for the best opportunity.

In the dead of night, Ye Linglong sat alone in front of the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, tears silently falling. She recalled every bit of her time with Gu Jiuchen over and over again, and those sweet memories have now become a sharp blade that pierces her heart, tormenting her heart.

Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew, bringing a hint of coldness, and also brought a light note. Ye Linglong picked up the note curiously. With the moonlight, she could see the contents clearly:

"I know you have doubts in your heart, and I know you want to find the truth. If you want to know Gu Jiuchen's secret, come to the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, and I will wait for you there."

At the end of the signature, there was a word "demon".

Ye Linglong's heart was suddenly filled with turbulent waves. She knew that this must be a trick of the demon cult's messenger, but at this moment, she was overwhelmed by sadness and anger and could not think rationally at all.

"Okay, I'll go!" Ye Linglong tightly grasped the note in her hand, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She wanted to find out the truth, even if the truth would make her miserable.

The next morning, just after dawn, Ye Linglong secretly left the Tianxian Sect. She left a letter and placed it in Gu Jiuchen's study.

When Gu Jiuchen returned to the study, it was already late. He saw the envelope on the table, and his heart tightened inexplicably.

Opening the letter with trembling hands, Gu Jiuchen read Ye Linglong's message word by word:

"Jiuchen, when you see this letter, I should have left. I know you will blame me for leaving without saying goodbye. But I really can't stand this torment. I need time and space to sort out my thoughts.

Maybe, we are really not suitable. Maybe, from the beginning, this is a mistake.

Forget me, Jiuchen. I hope you can find your own happiness."

There are still traces of tears on the letter paper, as if telling the pain and despair in Ye Linglong's heart.

Gu Jiuchen felt that his eyes went dark, and the letter paper in his hand fell to the ground. He fell into the chair, his mind was blank. He didn't know what happened, nor did he know why Ye Linglong left suddenly.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the conspiracy of the demon sect that Xuanfeng had mentioned to him before, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

"Linglong, where are you?" Gu Jiuchen stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anxiety and worry. He was determined to find Ye Linglong and find out what was going on.

What he didn't know was that what was waiting for him would be a more cruel truth.

Gu Jiuchen held the letter left by Ye Linglong, his heart aching. Every word in the letter was like a needle piercing his heart. He knew Ye Linglong's character. She must have encountered some unsolvable problems, so she chose to leave without saying goodbye.

"Linglong, where did you go?" Gu Jiuchen murmured to himself, his eyes full of worry and self-blame.

Just then, Xuanfeng hurried over with a solemn expression. "Jiuchen, it's not good, Linglong she..."

"What happened to Linglong?" Gu Jiuchen stood up suddenly, grabbed Xuanfeng's shoulders, and asked anxiously.

Xuanfeng sighed and told Gu Jiuchen the whole story. It turned out that in order to alienate the relationship between Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, the demon cult messenger forged a letter, which fabricated a lie that Gu Jiuchen betrayed Ye Linglong, and deliberately placed the letter in Ye Linglong's room. Ye Linglong believed it and left the Tianxian Sect in a state of grief.

"Damn it! I should have thought that the Demon Sect would attack Linglong!" Gu Jiuchen clenched his fists, his eyes burning with anger. He never thought that his momentary negligence would lead to such serious consequences.

"Now is not the time to blame ourselves. We must find Linglong as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" Xuanfeng said in a deep voice.
