WDQK: Divorcing Ling Qingzhu

Xuan Su stood confused, not understanding the beautiful woman in front of her.

"Leave him? Who does she mean by 'him'?" she thought, bewildered.

Ling Qingzhu noticed Xuan Su's hesitation, mistaking it for reluctance.

With a calm tone, she said, "Two martial arts!"

"It's not—" Xuan Su barely started, but Ling Qingzhu interrupted her, adding, "Plus, a ninth-grade martial skill!"

"Hold on!"

"What? Still not enough?"

Ling Qingzhu's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of a cold smile in her beautiful eyes.

This woman, she thought, had nothing remarkable beyond a passable face and decent figure—and she was greedy and shallow.

Looking at her, Ling Qingzhu was more certain she could win back her husband.

After all, she was the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Xuan Region!

Xuan Su asked softly, "Young lady, after all you've said, I still don't know—who is this 'he' you're talking about?"

"Junior Brother Chen Xuan," Ling Qingzhu replied indifferently.

"Junior Brother Chen?"

Xuan Su thought, "So they're fellow disciples?"

It didn't take much for Xuan Su to understand that Ling Qingzhu was following Chen Xuan.

Judging by her behavior, Xuan Su could see there was more to their relationship.

"You and Brother Xuan, you're not just fellow disciples, are you?"

"No, we're husband and wife."

Hearing Xuan Su call him "Brother Xuan" irritated Ling Qingzhu.

Even at her age, she dared to call Chen Xuan "Brother Xuan."

Did she have no shame?

Ling Qingzhu replied smugly, "Men get bored with the same food every day. They sometimes seek variety."

She wanted to emphasize their relationship, asserting herself as the legitimate partner.

Xuan Su didn't retort. "Perhaps, but at least right now, it doesn't seem like we're losing."

Xuan Su pointed at her hairpin, a hint of a smile in her eyes—it was a spiritual treasure.

Ling Qingzhu's eyes flashed with anger. She once had such items too, but her own choices had made them rare luxuries.

Forcing a smile, she replied, "I have plenty of these."

"Oh? Would you mind showing me?" Xuan Su suggested.

"Why…why should I show you?" Ling Qingzhu felt she had cornered herself.

Xuan Su continued calmly, "Or is it that you simply don't have one?"

"You wench! You're courting death!" Ling Qingzhu's power surged, and she struck fiercely at Xuan Su.

But her attack was blocked by the shield from Xuan Su's hairpin, making Ling Qingzhu even more furious.

Their argument began to draw attention from passersby.

"Hey! Two beautiful women arguing!" one onlooker said.

"No, fighting! Where? I don't see it!"

"About a man, it seems!"

"A man? If two beauties fought over me, I'd die happy!"

"Wouldn't we all?"

The crowd's chatter angered Ling Qingzhu. With a cold snort, she unleashed her power, scattering the crowd in seconds.

Just then, Xia Zhilan and Shi Ziyue arrived, alarmed by the commotion.

"What happened?" Xia Zhilan asked.

"It's nothing," Xuan Su replied, "this young lady wanted to test the defensive capabilities of Brother Xuan's gift."

Ling Qingzhu noticed they both wore the same spiritual treasure hairpin, making her feel even worse.

But she kept her composure, sneering, "So, you're all women Chen keeps for his amusement in the Great Yan Dynasty?"

Her words were demeaning, and Xia Zhilan's anger flared. "Watch your mouth!" she snapped, feeling bolder with Chen Xuan backing her.

Ling Qingzhu smirked. "Am I wrong?"

Xuan Su stopped Xia Zhilan from escalating. "What brings you here?"

"I'm here to bring him back to the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace!"

"You think he wants to return with you?"

"Of course he does! We're married; why wouldn't he?"

"Then why did he leave?"

Ling Qingzhu was at a loss for words, her hand raised to summon a pale blue lotus flower.

With a flick, she sent a petal toward Xuan Su and her companions.

But just as it was about to strike, a white figure appeared in front of them, effortlessly nullifying Ling Qingzhu's attack with a single hand.

"Brother Xuan!" The three women were overjoyed to see him.

Ling Qingzhu's eyes flickered with rare emotion, but Chen Xuan's cold words pierced her heart.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

Ling Qingzhu withdrew her lotus and replied anxiously, "I came to warn you."

Chen Xuan was puzzled. "Warn me? About what?"
