Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: Mother-in-Law’s Image

Back in the room, Su Yu only relaxed after closing the door.

Han Jing puffed up her cheeks angrily, hands on her hips, and lowered her voice to shout at Su Yu, "Su Yu, are you looking to die!"

Facing Han Jing, Su Yu took two steps toward her, closing in on her.

He was tall, and Han Jing always seemed petite in front of him, so even though Han Jing looked quite fierce when angry, when he approached her, she still seemed like she was playfully acting cute and coquettish.

It really was... a bit disheartening.

Su Yu placed his hand on hers that were resting on her waist, wrapping her hand in his palm, holding her waist, and then leaned closer to her face: "So, Jing’er is very concerned about other men?"

Han Jing... What is this... what kind of ghost is this!

"When did I ever care about other men?" Han Jing had an inexplicable look on her face: "Isn’t the man I care most about you?"

Don’t blame her for being spineless; when it came time to say something nice, she still had to soften up a bit, after all... this man was scary when he got jealous.

"Oh? Is that so? Then what was with you mentioning Lianwu just now?" Su Yu’s breath fell on Han Jing’s ear, making her ear inevitably heat up.

But she still replied with a straight face, "Did I? Lianwu is not a man, he’s a ghost!"

So concerning other men... that’s just nonsense, isn’t it?

Just then, their room door suddenly opened with a "bang," and Lianwu’s cold voice sounded behind Han Jing: "There’s no need for you to emphasize whether I’m a man or a ghost."

And then he drifted away.

Han Jing exclaimed "Ah" and shook off Su Yu’s hand, jumped up to hug his neck, clinging onto him like an octopus, and shouted: "There’s a ghost—"

Su Yu...

When they came to their senses, Han Jing was a bit frustrated. It was over; her mother-in-law’s perfect image was completely ruined. Talking behind their son-in-law’s back and being overheard, could anything be more awkward?

Feeling so exhausted.

However... Han Jing wondered: "How did he come back so quickly?"

This didn’t even take a quarter of an hour, right?

Su Yu patted Han Jing’s waist: "Are you planning to stay like this?"

Han Jing immediately jumped down from Su Yu.

When they got to Ning Shiqi’s room, Han Jing saw Lianwu, feeling a bit embarrassed, but since Han Jing had been roaming the martial world for so many years, what she honed was shamelessness, so in just a few seconds, Han Jing acted as if nothing had happened, the speed of her face-changing could be called miraculous.

Lianwu returned so quickly, he didn’t speak, but Ning Shiqi already guessed the result: "Was she controlled by some drug?"

Lianwu nodded: "There is no trace of spiritual objects in the Island Master Mansion, nor any spirit talismans, and Xia Wu doesn’t have them either, so it can’t be a talisman. Her emotions are indeed problematic, her eyes are unsettled, for a spirit cultivator, even under significant stress, it shouldn’t still be like this after all this time. I didn’t take her pulse, but she must have been drugged without a doubt."

As for what kind of drug she might have been given, that remains unknown.

Ning Shiqi will need to take her pulse personally to determine that, there’s no other way for us to tell directly.

"Now that it’s confirmed... what should we do next?" Han Jing asked.

"Go directly to the Island Master Mansion tomorrow." Su Yu replied.
