Chapter 466: Self-Deception Is Not Good
Han Qingjue was truly stunned by these words; she even took a few steps back, losing her composure, before finally steadying herself. Her gaze intensely locked onto Xia Ji: "What did you say? Say it again! Whose child? What on earth is going on?! What do you really know?"
Xia Ji continued to smile, her smile piercingly glaring to Han Qingjue.
She instinctively told herself not to be fooled by her; this woman was capable of anything, yet her heart couldn’t stop trembling. She was afraid, but she didn’t know what she was afraid of...
What she had always been most confident in was that Yun Peng wouldn’t fall in love with anyone else. Even if that person wasn’t her yet, at least it wouldn’t be someone else, so she was willing to wait. She thought as long as she kept waiting, she would have a chance.
She thought as long as she kept waiting, there would ultimately be a day she could mend the wounds in his heart and make him accept her.
But what nonsense was this woman spouting now?
Yun Peng’s child, the child that ugly woman was carrying clearly belonged to someone else. She had already inquired and found it had nothing to do with Yun Peng. Why was she saying this? No, she must be lying to her!
She couldn’t be fooled; she couldn’t be tricked by Xia Ji. This woman’s malicious mind was infamous. How could she possibly tell her the truth?
Han Qingjue shook her head and then, clenching her teeth, said, "I won’t fall for it. Don’t say anything. I’ll just pretend I never saw you today!"
"Hahaha, silly girl, deceiving yourself is not good. Since you don’t believe it, I’ll take you to see something interesting." As soon as Xia Ji finished speaking, she was already in front of Han Qingjue. Before Han Qingjue could react, Xia Ji had grabbed her arm and left.
By the time she came to her senses, they were already inside the Prince Yu Mansion.
In disbelief, she looked up at Xia Ji. Xia Ji still bore a lazy and alluring demeanor, completely oblivious to the fact that she was in someone else’s home, as if not afraid of being discovered at all.
She wanted to speak, but when her gaze landed on Su Yu, she swallowed all her words.
Su Yu seemed unaware of their presence, not even glancing in their direction.
Han Qingjue’s heart was pounding; she knew Su Yu’s strength well. Purple Flame Level 6, and he was a Special Ability User. Even those slightly stronger had little advantage before him.
Yet the top experts in the Spirit Cultivation Realm were only Purple Flame Level 8; no one had ever broken through to Purple Flame Level 9. Just how powerful was this Xia Ji, to be so fearless in front of Su Yu!
Han Qingjue inexplicably became anxious; she was even somewhat worried about Su Yu. Intuition told her, this woman bringing her here most likely boded ill for Su Yu!
But her gaze, nonetheless, couldn’t help but turn towards Su Yu.

After Han Qingjue left, Han Jing had Lan Ling personally escort An Chuxue back to the Princess Mansion. When Lan Ling returned, confirming that Han Qingjue had already left, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Faced with such a formidable rival in love, her pressure was truly immense!
So much so that she was in a daze for quite some time, with Su Yu quietly watching her.
"Do you think she will come back?" Finally, when Han Jing had been dazed enough, she looked up at Su Yu.
The two sat by the window, yet neither noticed that outside their window, two people were standing.
