Lin Ke'er had learned some tricks to conceal her presence and movements while following the team to gather herbs.

  So when she heard sounds in the courtyard, she didn't make a noise, nor did she rush in.

  She was worried it might be a thief or a robber cultivator.

  If that were the case, she would have to notify the patrol team.

  However, after listening closely to the conversation between the two people, Lin Ke'er frowned slightly.

  She had already recognized their identities.

  One was Lu Jing.

  The other was Ye Chen.

  What were these two doing here?

  Before she left, she had clearly informed Ye Chen that she was going into the mountains.

  He knew she wasn't around.

  Why did Ye Chen still come over?

  Unless Ye Chen had been interested in Lu Jing all along.

  Thinking of this, Lin Ke'er felt a sense of disgust toward Ye Chen.

  And her dislike for Lu Jing grew even stronger.

  Even though she didn't think much of Ye Chen and had pnned to cut ties with him.

  Ye Chen's behavior was truly disappointing.

  His previous affection was just a result of being infatuated with her looks.

  She had thought Ye Chen was a good person!

  And Lu Jing was just a shameless woman.

  Did she have to compete with her?

  Had she never seen a man before?

  Originally, Lin Ke'er had pnned to treat Ye Chen to a meal to thank him for his past care.

  But now, it seemed unnecessary.

  Regarding the two being together, Lin Ke'er felt a bit betrayed and uncomfortable.

  After all, Ye Chen had been so good to her before.

  He gave her everything.

  And now, after just a month away, Ye Chen had shifted his affections.

  Who could stand that?

  But the anger was fleeting.

  Lin Ke'er quickly calmed down.

  After all, she no longer valued Ye Chen's gifts.

  Ye Chen was something she no longer wanted.

  If Lu Jing wanted him, she could have him.

  With that thought, Lin Ke'er wasn't angry at all.

  She even considered barging in, offering her blessings, and then going to sleep.

  Lin Ke'er wanted to see what kind of awkward expressions the two would have.

  ...

  But just as Lin Ke'er was about to push the door open.

  Lu Jing's voice reached her ears again.

  "Since you've said so, Fellow Daoist Ye, I can't refuse any longer."

  "In that case, I'll accept it."

  Hearing this, Lin Ke'er sneered inwardly.

  It's just a bottle of medium-grade Essence Cultivation Pill.

  She didn't care for it at all.

  In the future, she'd buy superior-grade Essence Cultivation Pills for cultivation, which would be more effective.

  Lu Jing was so excited over a medium-grade Essence Cultivation Pill.

  Clearly, she and Lu Jing were no longer on the same level.

  With this thought, Lin Ke'er felt a sense of superiority.

  But the next moment, Lin Ke'er's disdainful smile vanished.

  Her expression couldn't hold up.

  Because in the courtyard, Lu Jing's voice sounded again: "I'm pnning to move in a few days, and this storage bag with a full cubic meter of space is perfect for all my belongings."

  "I'll move closer to the center, where it's safer and closer to where Fellow Daoist Ye lives."

  "This gift from Fellow Daoist Ye is truly to my liking."

  A storage bag?

  A storage bag with a cubic meter of space?

  Ye Chen gave Lu Jing a storage bag with a cubic meter of space?

  Lin Ke'er's eyes widened.

  She knew very well how expensive storage bags were.

  Previously, in the herb gathering team, only the team leader had a storage bag, and it was only half a cubic meter.

  But you could put anything in it, which was incredibly convenient.

  Especially since she always had to carry her luggage, and hiding pills on her person somewhat hindered her movements.

  The other party didn't need to carry anything; they could just put everything in the storage bag.

  The sight of someone with a storage bag hanging at their waist was something Lin Ke'er envied greatly.

  But the starting price for a storage bag was fifty low-grade Spirit Stones.

  She had worked herself to the bone for a month in the mountains and only earned a little over twenty low-grade Spirit Stones.

  Working hard for two or three months to buy a storage bag? It was simply impossible.

  But the problem was.

  The storage bag she longed for was given to Lu Jing by Ye Chen so easily?

  And it was a storage bag worth a medium-grade Spirit Stone, with a full cubic meter of space.

  This...

  At this moment, Lin Ke'er felt her mind was a bit muddled.

  Her hands were trembling.

  She had only earned a little over twenty low-grade Spirit Stones in a month.

  And Lu Jing?

  She did nothing and received a storage bag worth a medium-grade Spirit Stone?

  If she hadn't gone into the mountains.

  Would Ye Chen have given her the storage bag?

  He definitely would have!

  So, by going into the mountains, she had worked herself to the bone and ended up losing out?

  In the face of the storage bag Ye Chen gave away.

  Lin Ke'er felt that her efforts over the past month were a joke.

  But before Lin Ke'er's muddled mind could clear.

  Lu Jing continued speaking, delivering an even greater shock to Lin Ke'er.

  "Last time, Fellow Daoist Ye gave me a defensive spell worth a medium-grade Spirit Stone."

  "This time, he gave me a storage bag worth a medium-grade Spirit Stone."

  "I really don't know how to thank Fellow Daoist Ye..."

  "Since Fellow Daoist Ye likes my cooking, how about I come over every day to cook for him after work?"

  "Only then can I express my gratitude to Fellow Daoist Ye."

  "It's no trouble at all, I also enjoy eating with Fellow Daoist Ye. His conversation is so interesting, it makes me feel very entertained."

  "…"

  Hearing this, Lin Ke'er was even more stunned.

  In the month she was gone.

  Ye Chen not only gave away a storage bag.

  He even gave away a defensive spell worth a medium-grade Spirit Stone?

  In other words.

  In just a month of her absence.

  She missed out on a spell and a storage bag?

  Lin Ke'er truly couldn't accept it.

  If she hadn't gone into the mountains, all these things would have been hers.

  She went into the mountains for resources, only to have a wicked woman steal her home and lose even greater resources.

  Thinking of this.

  Lin Ke'er felt like she was going mad.

  Wasn't Ye Chen supposed to be worthless now?

  Before she left, Ye Chen couldn't even produce pills.

  How did it come to this?

  Why did it come to this?

  She needed the defensive spell.

  And she needed the storage bag even more.

  These things should have been hers.

  Lin Ke'er no longer had the calm demeanor of before, the tranquility of a chrysanthemum.

  Her anger soared to the heavens.

  She hated Lu Jing.

  This wicked woman, taking advantage of her absence to steal her home, was utterly despicable.

  Those things were mine.

  How dare you accept them?

  Give them back to me.

  But at the same time, she was even angrier with Ye Chen.

  How could Ye Chen give away things meant for her to someone else?

  Ye Chen had been so infatuated with her before.

  How could he so easily change his heart?

  So Lin Ke'er was sure that Lu Jing must have taken advantage of her absence to sow discord.

  But even so, Ye Chen was too disappointing.

  Just because of someone else's meddling, he shifted his affections and gave away gifts meant for her to someone else.

  This was a betrayal.

  This was truly unforgivable...

  ...

  In her anger.

  Lin Ke'er couldn't hold back any longer and forcefully pushed open the door, causing a loud bang.

  Lu Jing was initially flustered seeing Lin Ke'er return.

  But she quickly smiled.

  Lin Ke'er was back?

  So what?

  Ye Chen, this cunning lick spirit, was already molded to her liking.

  You're too te!

  And Ye Chen, on the other hand, was even calmer when he saw Lu Jing.

  Although it seemed like they were caught in the act.

  He wasn't really a lick spirit, was he?

  Was he afraid of Lin Ke'er misunderstanding?

  Moreover, Ye Chen, having cultivated the Longxiang Prajna Art, had enhanced his five senses, improving his hearing and vision, and had long noticed Lin Ke'er hiding outside the door.

  Lin Ke'er had initially thought the two would panic and expin themselves upon seeing her.

  But she didn't expect them to look at her with such calmness.

  This made Lin Ke'er even angrier, and she immediately shouted at Ye Chen, "Fellow Daoist Ye, how could you give my things to someone else?"
