Unable to Disguise

Following Xuan Lingzi, Chu Jiuning returned to the Ghost Palace.

As soon as she stepped in, her gaze met with the sharp scrutiny of Yue An, who was already inside.

She hesitated mid-step, her mind buzzing as she suddenly realized that it wasn’t just Yue An present.

Ju Linyuan, Song Qiye, and Luo Li were there as well. Even the royal clan’s young master, Yi Lianxin, and the Demon Lord Yan Xiu, along with her two senior brothers.

She found herself frozen in place, utterly perplexed by the situation.

In the next instant, Yue An appeared before her, his gaze piercing as he asked, “Are you... Xiao Xue?”

She raised her eyes, her heart racing. “King, King...of Sea...”

Jian Tong approached concern in his eyes. “Junior Sister, your face...”

Disaster! Chu Jiuning quickly covered her face with her hand and turned away.

“Second, Second Brother, you must be mistaken.”

Jian Tong stepped back in front of her, a smile playing on his lips.
