Wind Girl sneered, "If I truly wanted to kill you, do you think you would still be alive at this moment? Besides, I'm not so foolish as to strike here and then let Chen Jing naturally assume it was me who killed you."

After Wind Girl finished speaking, Lu Siwei heard Chen Jing let out a long sigh of relief, obviously inclined to believe Wind Girl's words.

"Jing, you weren't on the mountain just now! If I suddenly vanished or died somewhere else without any reason, Jing would certainly suspect you; if I drowned in this lake, and you explained it away as you just did, Jing would imagine I might have been foolish enough to slip into the lake and drown!" Lu Siwei countered, then lifted her eyes to Chen Jing. "Jing, where had you gone? If you had been there, I wouldn't have had to suffer this ordeal for nothing!"

"I... I went to the Onmyoji Alliance," Chen Jing stammered, seemingly with something difficult to say.

"Didn't you say you went down the mountain to treat a strange illness for a villager's child?" Wind Girl exclaimed in surprise, "How did you end up meeting with those Onmyoji again?"

"Why would you go there for no reason?" Lu Siwei asked. In fact, Lu Siwei was very clear that Chen Jing had been summoned to the Onmyoji Alliance by Luo Pengfei, who falsely accused Wind Girl. Luo Pengfei deceived Chen Jing by claiming that Wind Girl had retaliated and seriously injured him because he had saved Lu Siwei a few days ago, luckily escaping a catastrophe.

Chen Jing looked back at Wind Girl, then at Lu Siwei in front of him, and after a long while, he explained, "I was visiting some old friends."

"Jing!" Lu Siwei suddenly stood up. "I'm afraid I can't stay on White Stone Mountain anymore. I will leave the mountain tomorrow, and thus, our destinies shall part. I only wish that you, from now on..."

As she spoke, Lu Siwei choked up, then covered her face and wept. After a while, she took out the Jade Pendant from her bosom again and sobbed, "I'm returning this Jade Pendant to you!"

After stuffing the Jade Pendant into Chen Jing's hand, Lu Siwei turned to walk down the mountain. Chen Jing quickly grabbed her hand, saying, "Siwei, you by yourself..."

"Chen Jing!" Suddenly, Wind Girl angrily interrupted him. She turned to face Chen Jing, her eyes already reddened, "Ever since she appeared, we have been quarreling every day, and you have even doubted me repeatedly, seeing me as a sinister villain. I am utterly exhausted. Right now, stop being so indecisive, make your choice, and stop making two women jealous and compete for you."

After a silence, Chen Jing, torn, suddenly scratched his head in desperation and said, collapsing, "Xiaoqi, you know my heart, so why must you force me to make a choice? Siwei fled her home and broke off relations with her family for my sake, and now she has nowhere to return. How can I rest assured letting her go down the mountain alone?"

"Do you intend for her to stay on the mountain forever, caught between the two of us?"

"Enough, don't say anymore! Jing, I've understood your feelings, so I will go!" Lu Siwei cried. Saying this, she dashed down the mountain alone.

Chen Jing wanted to stop her, but Wind Girl called out, "Chen Jing! If you follow her down the mountain now, don't come back, I'm begging you."

Chen Jing approached Wind Girl, held her in his arms, and said, "Xiaoqi, just give me three more days, I promise to sort this out. Don't be so aggrieved, please. I really can't be at ease with her going down the mountain alone, if something happened to her, I would be guilty for a lifetime."

"I hate you, I hate you!" Wind Girl beat Chen Jing's chest repeatedly.

Immediately after, they separated, and Chen Jing flew down the mountain to chase after Lu Siwei. Midway down the mountain, Chen Jing caught up to her and once again persuaded her to return to the mountain.

The next morning, Chen Jing went down to Huang County. He first arranged an Onmyoji position for Lu Siwei at the Onmyoji Alliance, then acquired a house for Lu Siwei in the county, and found several destitute, homeless women from the county to work as maids and companions for Lu Siwei in the house.

However, in the evening, as Chen Jing returned to the halfway up White Stone Mountain, he suddenly heard a series of agonized screams coming from the thatched cottage where Lu Siwei was staying. When he reached the cottage door, he saw Wind Girl blocking the entrance, while Lu Siwei lay on the ground in pain, her body marked with numerous shocking scratches as if wounded by sharp claws.

"Jing, she's trying to kill me... save me."

Upon hearing Lu Siwei's words, Chen Jing's face instantly turned ashen, his pupils dilated several times over, and his eyes were filled with terrifying, fresh red bloodshot lines.

At this moment, Wind Girl turned back in shock and exclaimed, "Do you really believe it was I who hurt her?"

"If not you, who else could it be?" Chen Jing said with a hoarse voice, "Do you know that yesterday I went to the Onmyoji Alliance to actually meet someone, someone who had saved Siwei at the foot of the mountain a few days ago and was severely injured by you the day before yesterday and pushed off a cliff. Luckily, he's still alive thanks to his great fortune. At first, I couldn't believe it, but seeing that the wounds on Siwei's body are exactly the same as that person's, I—"

Chen Jing choked up.

"No, it wasn't me!" Wind Girl shook her head repeatedly, her eyes brimming with tears, "Didn't you say yesterday that you would send her away in three days? Why would I make an unnecessary move like this?"

"Exactly!" Chen Jing nodded, a tear falling from the corner of his eye, "That's why even if she died, I would have assumed that it was some demon or monster that killed her."

Wind Girl walked up to Chen Jing, shook his shoulders and cried, "Don't you find it suspicious? Why is it that every time she's injured, you just happen to show up?"

"That's right!" Chen Jing blinked, his gaze ice-cold, "I almost forgot, you used to be a supremely intelligent girl, full of schemes, even making a fool of the demon kings in the demon realm."

"What do you mean by that?"

Chen Jing sneered coldly, then continued, "I also almost forgot, you used to be ruthless and unscrupulous. I barely escaped death at your hands."

"Chen Jing! Do you completely negate the changes I've made for you over these years?" Wind Girl was angry, her tears finally breaking free and streaming down, "I admit I was cruel and ruthless in the past, but I've always been daring in my actions!"

"Then why don't you admit that you were the one who injured her? Could the Onmyojis of the Onmyoji Alliance be framing you?"

"Which Onmyoji!" Wind Girl's face showed a fierce light, "I'll go and confront him!"

Saying this, a glint of light suddenly flashed in Wind Girl's eyes, then she turned and walked over to where Lu Siwei was lying on the ground, squatted down in front of Lu Siwei, and demanded, "Tell me, which Onmyoji colluded with you to frame me?"

Seeing Wind Girl's terrifying expression, Lu Siwei was horrified, trembling, "Jing, save me!"

"Let her go!" Chen Jing yelled at Wind Girl, his entire face twitching.

Wind Girl ignored Chen Jing and continued to press Lu Siwei.
