Chapter 47 Crystal Love

"Yun'er, where did you go last night?" Shui Yun returned home early in the morning and found her master Shui Qing, her junior sister Crystal, and Ling Xiaofang all there, seemingly waiting for her.

"Master, I went out to take care of something." Shui Yun dared not tell the truth, but she wasn't good at lying either.

"What could have taken you all night? We've all been waiting for you to come back." Shui Qing said somewhat displeased.

"Master, what is it?" Shui Yun hoped her master wouldn't press further, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to explain. Thinking about it, she was also a little angry with Xiao Tianci; if she had just come back earlier, none of this would have happened.

"Oh, it's like this. Xiaofang said he wants to marry Crystal, and we're discussing it. You've always been with Crystal, so you should know more about their affairs than I do. I wanted to ask for your opinion." Shui Qing indeed didn't press further.

"Ask for my opinion?" Shui Yun was puzzled, but after looking at her master, she suddenly understood.

"Master, I don't think it's appropriate for Junior Sister to marry Young Master Ling right now." Having been with her master for so many years, Shui Yun could understand Shui Qing's thoughts to some extent. Normally, this kind of matter wouldn't be Shui Yun's decision, but Shui Qing's question clearly indicated a desire to refuse, merely an excuse.

"Yun'er, why do you say that? I think Xiao Fang and Jing'er have a good relationship and are well-matched. Their early marriage would fulfill my wish." Shui Qing feigned ignorance, looking at Shui Yun, while Ling Xiao Fang's gaze towards Shui Yun seemed to suggest he wanted to devour her whole.

"Because from my observation, Young Master Ling doesn't seem to truly love Junior Sister. I think if Junior Sister is to marry, she should marry someone who loves her wholeheartedly; otherwise, I'm afraid it will ruin her happiness." Shui Yun didn't want Ling Xiao Fang to marry Crystal in the first place, and knowing that Shui Qing was also unwilling, she dared to say anything now.

"Sister Yun, I don't think I've offended you, have I? How can you say such things to me? My love for Jing is unwavering, heaven and earth can bear witness." Ling Xiaofang forced a smile, suppressing his anger.

"Junior Sister is naive and may be deceived by you, but I know perfectly well that you have always loved the second young lady of the An family, An Ling. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to cause trouble for her lover, Xiao Tianci." Shui Yun said coldly, showing no intention of giving Ling Xiaofang any face.

"Sister Yun, I think you've misunderstood. I only dealt with Xiao Tianci because he is an utterly wicked villain. As for the second young lady of the An family, I did like her before, but that's all in the past." Ling Xiaofang argued weakly. "

Master, that's all I wanted to say. Personally, I think we shouldn't marry Junior Sister to him, but in the end, it's up to you, Master." Shui Yun ignored Xiao Tianci, while Crystal remained silent for some reason.

“Xiao Fang, Yun’er has always cared about Jing’er. She must be doing this for Jing’er’s own good. So, I think we should talk about you and Jing’er later.” Shui Qing looked very kind. Although she was over forty, she still looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties, her charm undiminished.

“Mother-in-law, didn’t Jing’er tell you that we are practically husband and wife? Do you want to see your daughter pregnant out of wedlock?” Ling Xiaofang suddenly said with a sly smile.

“What?” Shui Qing and Shui Yun were both greatly surprised by these words. Shui Yun thought to herself, did Ling Xiaofang succeed in his plan last night? But she remembered that her junior sister was already with her master when she left.

“When did this happen?” Shui Qing asked coldly.

“Mother-in-law, don’t you know to ask Jing’er?” Ling Xiaofang also found it strange that Crystal had been silent all this time.

Shui Qing snorted coldly and gently patted Crystal’s body.

“Mom, why did you press my pressure points?” Crystal complained. No wonder she hadn’t spoken earlier; she had been acupunctured.

"Let me ask you first, is what he said true?" Shui Qing didn't answer, her gaze stern as she looked at Shui Qing.

"No, Mother, we haven't done that yet." Shui Jing blushed. "Mother, look." She pulled down her sleeve, revealing a small patch of crimson. Shui Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ling Xiaofang, I had a pretty good impression of you, but I didn't expect you to use this trick to threaten me. Luckily, I had a virginity mark applied to Jing'er, otherwise I would have been fooled. I'm telling you now, Jing'er's engagement with you is dissolved. Don't come to our Crystal Palace again." Shui Qing coldly snorted.

"But, Mother, I..." Shui Jing hurriedly tugged at Shui Qing's clothes.

"Shut up, don't be so willful. I'll make the decision for you. There are plenty of men better than him in the world. I'll definitely find you someone better." Shui Qing scolded Shui Jing.

"Senior Sister, please help me, you love me the most." Seeing that her mother wasn't working, Shui Jing came to Shui Yun to whine.

“Junior sister, he really isn’t a good person. I’m doing this for your own good,” Shuiyun advised her.

“But, senior sister, I really like him,” Shuijing said softly.

“Impossible, impossible, impossible!” Ling Xiaofang muttered to himself, then practically shouted it out.

“Ling Xiaofang, why aren’t you leaving? What are you yelling about? If you don’t leave, I’ll get rough with you.” Shuiqing was startled by his sudden shout.

“Impossible, I was clearly in her room with her last night until this morning, how could that be?” Ling Xiaofang persisted.

“If you had just said it was last night, I wouldn’t have been so worried. Jing’er was with me last night,” Shuiqing said coldly. “Ling Xiaofang, just give up.”

“Impossible, then who was it last night? Could it have been you?” Ling Xiaofang suddenly stared intently at Shuiyun. “I know, it was you last night. No wonder you didn’t want your junior sister to marry me, it was you who wanted it, hahaha.” Ling Xiaofang burst into wild laughter.

"Ling Xiaofang, what nonsense are you spouting? You think just because you're good-looking you'll attract someone? You're delusional." Shuiyun hadn't expected Ling Xiaofang to actually take advantage of someone last night, and she couldn't help but worry that her secret would be exposed.

"Actually, you're even prettier than Crystal, haha, I'm not at a disadvantage at all." Ling Xiaofang was still laughing unrestrainedly.

"You don't believe me? Go look at Crystal's bed, there are still marks there! Sister Yun, dare you say it wasn't you? I can confirm you're no longer a woman." Ling Xiaofang looked at Shuiqing and her mother, who were feeling completely bewildered. Now even Crystal was wondering if her sweetheart was acting strangely.

"Yun'er, let me see." Shuiqing was starting to have doubts after hearing his seemingly plausible explanation.

"Master, I—" Shuiyun was a little reluctant; she had long since stopped being a woman.

"Is what he said true?" Shuiyun became even more suspicious.

"Master, it's not like that, I have nothing to do with Ling Xiaofang." Shuiyun quickly protested.

"Then what are you afraid of? Come here and let me see what's so serious?" Shui Qing was slightly angry.

"Master, I'll tell you later, okay? I don't want outsiders to know." Shui Yun, seeing there was no other way, prepared to admit it.

"Master, let's settle accounts with Ling Xiaofang first. He was planning to drug Junior Sister last night, but luckily I saw through it, so he thought Junior Sister was already his. I think it's possible that Junior Sister's maid, Xiao Tao, was violated by him. Why don't you ask Xiao Tao first?" Shui Yun seemed to remember something and quickly added, she just wanted Shui Yun not to ask about her affairs.

"Brother Ling, were you really planning to do that to me last night?" Shui Jing seemed a little incredulous.

"So what if I was? It's just a pity you got away with it, but it doesn't matter, anyway, your senior sister will take your place." Ling Xiaofang seemed to have lost his mind.

"How could you do this? I always trusted you so much." Crystal wept uncontrollably.

"Trust me? What a joke. Don't think I don't know, you and your daughter are alike, neither of you are good. You pretend to be noble on the surface, but behind my back—"

*Slap!* Ling Xiaofang was slapped across the face. It turned out that Shui Qing couldn't stand his foul language anymore. "Ling Xiaofang, if you don't get out of here right now, I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow." Shui Qing's tone was icy.

"I'm not leaving. If I'm leaving, Shui Yun will come with me. Sister Yun, people say that even a night of passion is worth a hundred days of kindness. Are you really that heartless? I was your first man, after all." This kid is possessed today, probably because he's suffered too much.

"Nonsense." Shui Yun coldly snorted, and her long sword stabbed fiercely at Ling Xiaofang. Ling Xiaofang didn't know whether he was dumbfounded or stunned, and didn't even try to dodge.

"Ugh," a scream rang out, and blood gushed out, but Shui Yun seemed to be stunned.

"Xiao Tao, how could you be so foolish?" Just as Shui Yun's sword was about to pierce Ling Xiaofang, someone suddenly rushed to Ling Xiaofang's side—it was Shui Jing's maid, Xiao Tao.

"Miss Yun, I beg you, don't kill him," Xiao Tao said weakly, her voice broken.

"Xiao Tao, don't die!" Shui Jing and Xiao Tao had grown up together and were very close. Seeing her like this, she also rushed over.

"That bastard, if he wanted to die, he should have just died, why did he have to hurt Xiao Tao too?" Shui Yun wanted to kill Ling Xiaofang with hatred, but at this moment, Ling Xiaofang's eyes were lifeless and empty, for some unknown reason.

"No, Miss, I beg you, let him go. I, I really like him so much. What he did to me last night, I would be satisfied even if I died now." A blush appeared on Xiao Tao's pale face. "Miss, promise me, please let him go, okay?"

"Okay, I promise you," Shui Jing said, her voice trembling with tears. The repeated changes today were almost too much for this young palace mistress to bear.

"Thank you, Miss. I'll serve you again in my next life." Xiao Tao's voice grew softer and softer until finally, her head tilted to the side, and she fell smilingly into Crystal's arms.

"Xiao Tao..." Silent tears streamed down Crystal's rosy cheeks.

"Junior Sister, what should we do with him?" Shui Yun asked softly. Shui Qing also half-embraced Crystal with concern, after all, her daughter was her biggest concern.

"Throw him out." Crystal looked at Ling Xiaofang, who showed no reaction, and felt a pang of sorrow. How could the man she loved most be like this? Xiao Tao died for him, and he didn't even react? Actually, Crystal really wronged Ling Xiaofang this time. Ling Xiaofang originally thought he had already won Crystal's body and could marry her smoothly today. Who knew that an unexpected change would occur, turning his joy into sorrow. Then he thought it was Shui Yun, and was overjoyed again. But then he discovered that Shui Yun showed him no mercy, while Xiao Tao took a sword for him. Only then did he realize that the woman from last night was Xiao Tao. This constant shift between joy and sorrow in such a short time had overwhelmed Ling Xiaofang, and he couldn't recover for a while. For the time being, Ling Xiaofang was no different from a fool, so of course he had no reaction.

###**8 "Senior sister, why is Xiao Tao's life so bitter?" Crystal asked softly. In front of them was a new grave.

"Junior sister, actually, Xiao Tao felt very happy. At least she left with a smile. In her heart, she saved the person she loved, so she was very happy." Shui Yun gently comforted Crystal.

"Senior sister, what does it mean to fall in love with someone?" Crystal asked again. "Senior sister, have you ever loved anyone?"

"I don't know what love is. Maybe true love is like Xiao Tao, being able to sacrifice for the person you love?" Shui Yun's tone also became uncertain, thinking of Xiao Tianci. "Would I sacrifice for him? What about him? Would he risk his life to save me?"

"Junior sister, don't be too sad." Shui Yun was a little worried when she saw that Crystal hadn't spoken for a long time. She had lost her best friend and the person she loved most in just one day. She wondered if the delicate Crystal could bear it.

"Senior sister, I'm fine. I suddenly realized that I wouldn't have rushed over to save him just now. Maybe I don't actually love him. What do you think, senior sister?" Crystal suddenly smiled brightly, as if her mood had suddenly brightened.

"It's good that you can think like this, junior sister." Although Shui Yun didn't know if Crystal's current state was normal, a smile was better than no smile.

At this time, the White Alliance members were also in a state of chaos. Since last night, news has been arriving intermittently. The Heroes' Alliance was attacked, suffering heavy casualties. Acting Alliance Leader Li Yuming was seriously injured and unconscious. Traces of the Demonic Sect were also found at Shaolin Temple, and Abbot Huiming was injured in his battle with Su Poyun. However, the overall situation is not too serious; Shaolin Temple suffered no casualties. Du Youren, the eldest disciple of Jianhu Manor

, is missing. Other major sects have all been harassed to varying degrees, causing widespread unease. "Alliance Leader Bai, do you think we should go back and check?" Huijue asked Bai Yulou in a questioning tone. Bai Yulou didn't know how to answer. He also wanted to go back, but reason told him he shouldn't.

"Master, I think if you go back like this, you might fall right into the Demonic Sect's trap. The Demonic Sect isn't coming here to deal with us because our elites are all here; they're not confident. But if we split up, they might use a divide-and-conquer strategy," Qiu Shuiyao said when Bai Yulou remained silent.

Chapter Forty-Eight: How Can This Be?

"Of course, Fairy Qiu doesn't care. The Demonic Sect won't bother Tianxin Pavilion anyway," Xiao Jinghong said indifferently. "We're different. I'm afraid we'll have to watch helplessly as the Demonic Sect wipes out all our disciples."

"Master Xiao, don't say that. Fairy Qiu is right. We can't let a small matter cause a big loss," Ye Qiuhan interjected.

"Sect Leader Ye, Kunlun is in a remote area. The Demonic Sect generally won't go there, so you don't need to worry," Xiao Jinghong said, showing no

mercy to Ye Qiuhan. "Master Xiao, isn't that a bit unreasonable? I'm just telling the truth. If you want to go back, the Demonic Sect might be waiting for you on the way. You'll be walking into their trap," Ye Qiuhan

said, somewhat annoyed. "You two shouldn't argue. We should unite against the common enemy now. How can we start a fight ourselves?" Chongxu advised, being the most senior among them.

“What the Daoist Master says is true, but it seems that Fairy Qiu has never stood with us against outsiders.” Xiao Jinghong was dissatisfied with Qiu Shuiyao.

“What do you mean by that, Master Xiao?” Even with her good temper, Qiu Shuiyao couldn’t let herself be bullied.

“I only remember that every time we clashed with Xiao Tianci’s people, Fairy Qiu was always just watching from the sidelines. I wonder if I’ve wronged you?” Xiao Jinghong said with a sneer.

“You’re right, but I have my reasons.” Qiu Shuiyao didn’t deny it, as everyone knew that; denying it would only make her seem guilty.

“Of course, Fairy Qiu has her reasons for acting, how dare we criticize her?” Xiao Jinghong said he wouldn’t dare criticize her, but everyone could hear the implication in his words.

“If that’s how you put it, Master Xiao, Shuiyao has nothing to say. However, I, Qiu Shuiyao, have always prioritized the interests of the White Path Alliance.” Qiu Shuiyao didn’t want to argue with Xiao Jinghong.

“I think it’s Xiao Tianci’s interests that are prioritized.” This time, it was Xiao Tianfeng who started the argument.

"Feng'er, how could you speak to Fairy Qiu like that?" Xiao Jinghong scolded, though it was obvious he was just putting on an act; they were deliberately making things difficult for Qiu Shuiyao today.

"Don't you think your words, Second Young Master Xiao, went too far?" Ye Qiuhan couldn't help but

ask. "Sect Leader Ye, I didn't know you could flatter people like that?" Xiao Tianfeng retorted sarcastically.

"I didn't realize that the young master of Sword Lake Manor had become so good at lecturing people, even daring to lecture Fairy Qiu?" Ye Qiuhan was also annoyed.

"A bunch of overconfident people, all they do is fight amongst themselves." Suddenly, a clear voice rang out, and that signature attire reappeared: a sky-blue robe, and a strangely unsheathed sword. It was Nangong Suifeng.

"Brother Nangong, what do you mean by that?" Bai Yulou forced a smile. Not only the Nangong family, but none of the four great families had joined the White Path Alliance. This Nangong Suifeng had only appeared for a few months, but the Nangong family had already confirmed that he was the young master of the Nangong family, the future head of the Nangong family.

"I just feel sorry for Fairy Qiu. She is wholeheartedly devoted to your White Alliance, yet you still doubt her. If it weren't for Fairy Qiu, I'm afraid your White Alliance would have been gone long ago." Nangong Suifeng's words were not afraid of infuriating everyone present.

"Young Master Nangong, could you please explain yourself more clearly?" Chongxu, as expected of a Celestial Master, was actually so polite to a junior.

"Senior, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Suifeng." Nangong Suifeng bowed politely to Chongxu. "For the past ten years, no one in the Nangong family has dared to cause trouble. Even in private, no one has dared to plot against us. It's not because our Nangong family is so powerful, but because of one person." Nangong Suifeng coldly swept his gaze over everyone present.

"Brother Nangong, you mean your younger sister, Miss Nangong Xiaoyu, right?" Bai Yulou understood that what Nangong Suifeng said was true. For ten years, the Nangong family had been peaceful.

"That's right. If I had to say who I admire most in this world, it would be my younger sister, Nangong Xiaoyu. So while she was still in the martial world, I always stayed in the background until she retired from the martial world, and only then did I officially enter the martial world." No wonder this kid hadn't been out for more than a few months.

"Suifeng, I'm just calling you that out of seniority. What is the relationship between your sister and Fairy Qiu?" Chongxu seemed to want to speak more politely as an elder.

"My sister and Fairy Qiu are confidantes, and my sister is already married. My brother-in-law is none other than Xiao Tianci, whom you all want to kill." Nangong Suifeng's words were like a thunderbolt. "If anything happens to Xiao Tianci, I can't guarantee that my sister won't cooperate with the Demonic Sect to deal with you, and I believe the Demonic Sect will certainly not refuse my sister's joining. If it weren't for Fairy Qiu's consideration for my sister, preventing things from escalating beyond repair between you and Xiao Tianci, you can imagine the consequences."

Because of Nangong Suifeng's words, no one doubted the relationship between Qiu Shuiyao and Xiao Tianci anymore. However, Xiao Tianci's identity seemed to be becoming increasingly mysterious. Nangong Suifeng had done Xiao Tianci a great favor. Now, before dealing with Xiao Tianci, they might have to consider Nangong Xiaoyu, after all, Nangong Xiaoyu's intelligence was known throughout the world. However, if Xiao Tianci knew this now, he would definitely be wondering why he didn't bring up Nangong Xiaoyu sooner. But what he didn't know was that even if these people considered Nangong Xiaoyu, would they stop provoking Xiao Tianci because of her? Even the world's greatest martial arts master can be killed, so the husband of the world's most talented woman might also be targeted.

***********

"Young Master Nangong, why do you say your sister and I are confidants?" The handsome Nangong Suifeng, bathed in the setting sun, possessed an indescribable air of nonchalance.

"You're family now, so calling you confidants isn't wrong." Nangong Suifeng looked at the beautiful woman before him, so close, yet so far.

"Young Master Nangong's words are always hard to understand," Qiu Shuiyao said calmly. "However, I'm still very grateful to you, after all, you've done me a great favor."

"Fairy, you're too kind. Actually, all of this was of my own volition. I knew it was impossible, yet I still did it. Suifeng has no other request than that you consider me a friend." Nangong Suifeng said slowly, his gaze towards Qiu Shuiyao burning with passion.

"Of course, Shuiyao will consider you a friend." Qiu Shuiyao didn't avoid his gaze.

"In your heart, there is indeed only him." Nangong Suifeng withdrew his gaze, his tone tinged with disappointment, gazing at the sunset with a forlorn expression.

"Young Master, you have made a mistake in loving me. I am deeply grateful. I hope that when we meet again, we can still be friends. I will return now. Take care, Young Master." Qiu Shuiyao turned and slowly left, her white robes fluttering, her ethereal beauty likely to be etched in Nangong Suifeng's heart for the rest of his life.

"What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it? I never thought that I, Nangong Suifeng, would fall in love with a woman who could never love me back." Nangong Suifeng murmured, letting out a soft sigh, "Why is that boy so lucky?"

"Why are you here?" Qiu Shuiyao returned to her room and suddenly asked.

"Yao'er, I missed you, so of course I came to see you." Xiao Tianci emerged from behind the screen.

"So you mean that if you don't come to see me usually, it means you don't miss me?" Qiu Shuiyao's face was expressionless, and it was unclear whether her words were true or false.

"No, Yao'er, don't overthink it." Xiao Tianci had brought this trouble upon himself, so he quickly explained.

"Don't use that excuse when you come to me in the future." Qiu Shuiyao gave a soft snort. "What's wrong? Tell me quickly."

"Is something bothering you?" Xiao Tianci gently embraced her.

"Xiao Lang, I'm so tired." Qiu Shuiyao nestled weakly in Xiao Tianci's arms, her voice soft and melancholic. "Why did Master entrust me with the task of resisting the Demonic Sect? Those people in the White Alliance are always suspicious of me. I really don't want to stay here anymore."

"Yao'er, why don't you come with me? I'll send you to a secluded paradise. There will be people to chat with and play with you there, and it will be isolated from the martial world. You won't have to worry about these things anymore, okay?" Xiao Tianci felt a pang of heartache looking at Qiu Shuiyao's current state.

"But I promised Master, I can't just leave like this. Okay, don't worry about me anymore. It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation. Tell me what's going on today, and I'll leave after you've said that." Qiu Shuiyao's years of self-cultivation hadn't been in vain; it was just that Xiao Tianci was now her only weakness, which was why she lost her composure in front of him. But even so, she recovered instantly.

Xiao Tianci secretly regretted it. He had been thinking of taking advantage of this to hide Qiu Shuiyao away at home and keep her as a mistress, but who knew she would react so quickly.

"Can you wait a bit? You're going to kick me out as soon as I finish." Xiao Tianci half-pleaded

and half-whined. "Don't be like that. Honestly, I haven't even scolded you for coming so early today. What if someone finds out? Tell me what's going on. If you don't, I'll kick you out." Qiu Shuiyao was half-threatening and half-coquettish.

"Alright, I'll tell you." Xiao Tianci said helplessly, "Yao'er, do you remember how you discovered Yue Xiaomin's cries for help last time?"

"Tell me honestly what happened between you and Yue Xiaomin that time. I saw it very clearly, what were you two doing?" Qiu Shuiyao was jealous and pinched Xiao Tianci's waist.

"I asked first, how did it become you asking me?" Xiao Tianci only thought about it in his heart, but he honestly told her what happened. It's true that Xiao Tianci is a womanizer, but he has one advantage, which is that he is honest, especially in front of these women. He is very open and honest.

"Hmm, if you put it that way, it doesn't seem right." Qiu Shuiyao thought for a moment, "That day, Zhan Qingchen actually told Bai Yulou that he had discovered your whereabouts, so we naturally went there. As soon as we got there, we heard someone calling for help, and then we went in and that's what happened." "

So it was Zhan Qingchen and Yue Xiaomin who conspired." Xiao Tianci looked like he knew it.

"I don't think it's entirely true. Why did Yue Xiaomin start this fake relationship with you? Are you hiding something from me?" Qiu Shuiyao pinched his waist again. "Also, tell me honestly today, how many women are behind you? When did Nangong Xiaoyu appear? I had no idea!"

"Yao'er, you'll find out eventually. Just come with me there, and you'll see almost everyone." Xiao Tianci didn't want to tell her now, otherwise, who knows when he'd finish.

"You won't tell me? Then you can leave now." Qiu Shuiyao pushed him away.

"I'll tell you later." Xiao Tianci didn't want to leave so soon, so he hugged Qiu Shuiyao again and whispered in her ear, "Let's talk about it slowly in bed, okay?" Without waiting for her agreement, he picked her up and pulled her into the covers. For a moment, they were tossed and turned, with suppressed moans filling the air.

"You always take advantage of me." Qiu Shuiyao was helpless against this guy. So many men in the world treated her with utmost respect, but this guy was always up to no good, yet she seemed to enjoy it.

"Yao'er, I really want the day when you can openly become my wife." Xiao Tianci kissed her smooth skin and murmured.

"We're already like this, why do you still want that title?" Qiu Shuiyao sighed. "Aren't you satisfied with this?"

"Yao'er, it's getting late. I need to find Yue Xiaomin. I need to find out why she framed me. I don't want to become a lecher without knowing why." Xiao Tianci was a little reluctant to leave Qiu Shuiyao, but he remembered he had important business to attend to.

"You are a lecher to begin with. Believe me, if I shout it now, you won't be able to clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River." Qiu Shuiyao couldn't help but tease him.

"Yao'er, if you shout it, I'm really willing to be a lecher for you. Then all the men in the world will probably envy me." Xiao Tianci chuckled.

"Go to hell! Get out of here!" Qiu Shuiyao said coquettishly, pushing Xiao Tianci out of the covers.

"Yao'er, I really love you so much." Before leaving, Xiao Tianci suddenly kissed Qiu Shuiyao's cheek gently, speaking affectionately.

"Xiao Tianci, come with me." Xiao Tianci had only just come out of Qiu Shuiyao's room when he heard a low voice. Turning his head, he saw a figure about ten feet to his left. The person glanced at Xiao Tianci, turned, and strode away. Xiao Tianci had no choice but to follow, as he couldn't be sure if the person had already discovered that he had come from Qiu Shuiyao's room.

They followed each other until they reached a grove of trees outside the city.

"Should I call you brother-in-law or something else?" The person turned around; it was Nangong Suifeng.

"Whatever you want. It seems you know quite a lot. Just say what you want to say." Xiao Tianci said helplessly.

"It seems you're quite straightforward. The man my sister has chosen is indeed quite good; in that respect, you're better than many others." Nangong Suifeng's clear tone carried a hint of disappointment. "I only want to ask you one question: do you truly love Qiu Shuiyao, or do you just want to possess her?"

"You know about me and her?" Xiao Tianci was secretly surprised.

"I've been watching her room. You went in just as it got dark and only came out now. I think even a fool could understand what you were doing in there, especially since I knew before that your relationship was unusual." Nangong Suifeng said calmly. "I think you should answer my question first." "

Do you think Yao'er could fall in love with someone who doesn't love her? If I didn't love her, I could never have her." Xiao Tianci answered calmly.

"What about my sister? Do you love her or not?" Nangong Suifeng asked again.

"I love all the women around me. You can call me promiscuous, but the truth is I would risk my life and reputation for any one of them. That's how I feel about Yao'er, and it's the same with Xiao Yu. I can't love just one of them wholeheartedly in this life; all I can do is be sincere with everyone." Xiao Tianci's voice was filled with deep emotion, slow and powerful.

"I hope it's true," Nangong Suifeng said expressionlessly. "If one day I discover you weren't sincere with her, I will never let you go, even if—you are my brother-in-law."

Chapter 49 The Mystery of Ruoshui:

Yao'er is mine, and I won't let you take her away, not even if you are Xiao Yu's brother. Watching Nangong Suifeng's retreating figure, Xiao Tianci muttered to himself, deciding he should go find Yue Xiaomin first, as dawn would break if he didn't.

The entire White Alliance had booked the largest inn in Suzhou, and Yue Xiaomin was naturally there as well. Xiao Tianci had already found out where Yue Xiaomin was staying, and he headed straight for her room, cursing the White Alliance for being so useless that no one had noticed him. However, he didn't consider what would happen if he were discovered.

Xiao Tianci found Yue Xiaomin's room and jumped in through the window. It was so late, Yue Xiaomin was naturally asleep. Xiao Tianci flashed and pounced on the bedside. Just as he reached her, he saw that Yue Xiaomin had opened her eyes and was about to shout. He quickly pressed her pressure points.

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you. I'm just here to find out some things." Xiao Tianci tried his best to appear gentle, but Yue Xiaomin glared at him fiercely.

Xiao Tianci thought for a moment, realizing that Yue Xiaomin was unlikely to cooperate. He figured he wouldn't get anything out of her here and might alert others, so he decided to take her away and question her slowly. Without thinking twice, he picked her up, blanket and all, and ran out the window.

*********

Xiao Tianci brought Yue Xiaomin back to the Xiaoyao Sect, but he was helpless against her. No matter who questioned her, she remained silent, barely uttering a word. When she did speak, her words were often infuriating. No matter how Xiao Tianci threatened her, it was useless. Yue Xiaomin was quite straightforward; she said, "I'm going to frame you, so what? Anyway, people in the martial world believe her, not Xiao Tianci."

"Yue Xiaomin, are you going to tell me who ordered you to do this?" Dongfang Qin couldn't stand this kind of person anymore. "Dongfang Qin

, why are you being so fierce? Aren't you just one of his concubines? Is it necessary for you to go through all this trouble for him?" "He has so many wives, one day he'll get tired of you." Yue Xiaomin didn't care about Dongfang Qin's murderous glare and kept provoking her, "Look at the women around him, there are so many prettier than you, don't expect him to treat you well."

"Yue Xiaomin, do you believe I'll sell you to a brothel?" Dongfang Qin was furious with this woman.

"It's okay, go ahead, I don't care. But do you think he'll agree? I'm his woman, after all, he's the only one who's ever touched me. As long as he's not afraid of me cheating on him ten or eight times a day, I don't care." Yue Xiaomin really didn't care at all. "Yue Xiaomin

, don't talk nonsense. You've been with Zhan Qingchen for so long, I don't believe he'll be so well-behaved. You and the young master have nothing to do with each other, your going to find other men has nothing to do with the young master." "Dongfang Hua spoke up from the side.

"Zhan Qingchen is the most useless man in the world. He used to treat me like a saint and didn't dare to really touch me. Later, when he found out I was no longer a pure virgin, he despised me. I despise men like that the most." Yue Xiaomin's face showed a hateful expression.

"Young master, what should we do? She won't say anything." Dongfang Hua walked out the door. Xiao Tianci was listening outside. Originally, Xiao Tianci wanted to ask her himself, but he was so angry with Yue Xiaomin that he left it to Dongfang Qin and Dongfang Hua. However, he didn't expect that they were also helpless.

"I can't do anything either. She must be hiding something. We'll just wait and see until she tells us." Xiao Tianci was a little helpless.

"Why haven't you played with me these past few days?" Xiao Tianci returned to his room with a heavy heart, and Nalan Ruoshui pounced on him again, acting coquettishly.

"Ruoshui, be good. I've been busy these past few days. I'll play with you now, okay?" Xiao Tianci wasn't sure if she would understand, so he tried his best to coax her.

"I want to go outside to play. It's so much fun outside. I don't want to stay inside every day." Nalan Ruoshui twisted her petite body in protest.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you out." Xiao Tianci was truly helpless with her. Suddenly, a question that he found amusing came to mind: Nalan Ruoshui seemed even harder to deal with than Yue Xiaomin. He could handle Nalan Ruoshui, so why couldn't he handle Yue Xiaomin?

"The world is going to the dogs. These young people these days are so outrageous." An old man selling pancakes in the city muttered to himself, because he saw a young man embracing a young girl in public, and the two of them were constantly flirting.

The two were naturally Xiao Tianci and Nalan Ruoshui. Nalan Ruoshui always kept to herself whenever Xiao Tianci was around, only offering words at most. Although Xiao Tianci didn't really want to be like this, because in this society governed by etiquette, even someone like Xiao Tianci who didn't value etiquette had to consider how others perceived him. However, compared to that, he didn't want to refuse Nalan Ruoshui's requests. He had secretly told himself that at least as long as Nalan Ruoshui was alive, he would do whatever she wanted.

"Brother Xiao, long time no see. I didn't expect you to have time to stroll around." A clear voice came, and Xiao Tianci turned around, a smile appearing on his face.

"Brother Situ, and the four elder brothers, how have you been?" Xiao Tianci had a good impression of Situ Yingwu because Situ Yingwu had spoken well of him several times, and he had sincerely congratulated him and Xiao Yuya on their wedding.

"There happens to be a restaurant here, let's go up and have a seat." Situ Yingwu suggested with a smile.

"Ruoshui, would you like something to eat?" Xiao Tianci glanced apologetically at Situ Yingwu, deciding it was more important to ask Nalan Ruoshui first.

"Sure, I'm a little hungry." Xiao Tianci hadn't expected Nalan Ruoshui to be so agreeable.

"Brother Xiao, who is this young lady?" Situ Yingwu couldn't help but ask, seeing Xiao Tianci's almost doting attitude towards Nalan Ruoshui.

"Her name is Nalan Ruoshui. She's not a member of the martial arts world. It's a long story, but I'll tell you another time, Brother Situ." Xiao Tianci sighed.

"Indeed, let's talk about everyone's situation recently." Situ Yingwu was a smart man and naturally knew that Xiao Tianci wasn't keen on talking about it. The group went upstairs, found a seat by the window, ordered their food, and began to chat.

"Brother Xiao, you seem to have run into some trouble lately? I heard the White Alliance issued a warrant, but it seems no one is looking for you. Is my information wrong?" Situ Yingwu asked in a questioning tone.

“Sigh, Brother Situ, didn’t you receive it? That’s not a rumor, it’s true. It’s just that the White Alliance people are being watched by the Demonic Sect right now, so they don’t have time to bother me for the time being. Once the Demonic Sect people retreat, they’ll probably come looking for me. Anyway, my Xiaoyao Sect headquarters is here now, so they’re not afraid I’ll run away.” Xiao Tianci sighed helplessly, while beckoning to Nalan Ruoshui, who was directing him with her small hands.

“Speaking of the White Alliance, our Situ family also has some estrangement from them. But now the White Alliance has many people and great power, so Brother Xiao, you’d better be careful.” Situ Yingwu sighed softly.

“How can Brother Situ believe that I’m not that so-called lecherous thief?” Xiao Tianci seemed a little confused. No matter how bad his reputation was, Situ Yingwu never seemed to care.

“Because I trust my own judgment. I won’t misjudge people. The first time I saw Brother Xiao, I knew you weren’t a truly wicked person, but someone I, Situ Yingwu, would be willing to befriend.” Situ Yingwu said without any hesitation.

"If the White Alliance people thought like that, I wouldn't have so much trouble." Xiao Tianci looked at Situ Yingwu gratefully.

"I don't want to eat anymore, I want to go play." Nalan Ruoshui suddenly became dissatisfied again, making a fuss and wanting to leave.

"Brother Situ, I'm sorry, I'll take my leave first." Xiao Tianci said apologetically. Nalan Ruoshui's words were like golden rules to Xiao Tianci now, and he had to abide by them.

Xiao Tianci had no choice but to carry Nalan Ruoshui around. "I don't like him, I don't want to see him again." Nalan Ruoshui suddenly whispered in Xiao Tianci's ear, making Xiao Tianci take aback. Could she really dislike someone? However, he coaxed Nalan Ruoshui, saying that he would never see Situ Yingwu again.

"I want to go back." Nalan Ruoshui seemed a little unhappy. Xiao Tianci secretly felt strange; she seemed a little off today.

Nalan Ruoshui stopped making a fuss and stayed quietly in Xiao Tianci's arms. Even after they returned to their room, she didn't say anything else, only refusing to leave his embrace.

"Young Master, Miss Biao has sent word," Dongfang Hua reported as she entered.

"What did Xiaoyu say?" Xiao Tianci asked hurriedly.

"Miss Biao said that the Nine Yin Meridians aren't entirely hopeless… You can see the details yourself; Miss Biao wrote them in great detail." Dongfang Hua handed over several sheets of paper, covered in dense writing.

"Really?" Xiao Tianci happily took them, but as he read, his brows furrowed more and more.

********

It was late, and Xiao Tianci, holding Nalan Ruoshui, was lost in thought, unaware that she was looking at him with a complex expression.

"Do you like me?" Nalan Ruoshui suddenly gently touched Xiao Tianci's face and asked.

"Yes, of course I like you. Everyone likes you," Xiao Tianci replied instinctively, snapping out of his reverie.

"I'm asking if you like me? Not the kind of liking they have for me, but the kind of liking you have for Sister Yuya and Sister Qin." Nalan Ruoshui's tone lacked its usual coquettishness.

"Ruoshui, why are you asking this?" Xiao Tianci sensed something was wrong. Shouldn't Nalan Ruoshui be oblivious to these things?

"Don't think about why I suddenly understand these things. Just answer my question now." Nalan Ruoshui seemed to know what he was thinking.

Xiao Tianci didn't answer immediately. He was asking himself: Do I love Ruoshui? Do I just see her as a cute little sister, or is it love? He asked himself, but had no answer. He didn't know if his feelings for Nalan Ruoshui counted as love. He only knew that if Nalan Ruoshui really died, he would be heartbroken, very heartbroken.

"You don't need to answer, I understand. Just help me get better. Even if I die because you can't cure me, I won't blame you," Nalan Ruoshui said suddenly. "If I get better, I'll tell you all my secrets. If I don't, just pretend I'm still the Nalan Ruoshui who knows nothing. Don't ask me anything now, just help me get better." Nalan Ruoshui gently stroked his face, then climbed off him, slowly took off her clothes, revealing her beautiful and petite body, and then slipped into the quilt.

"You, you~" Xiao Tianci didn't know what to say for a moment; he was too shocked.

"Come on, even if you can't cure me, I'm willing to do this," Nalan Ruoshui said softly, her gaze towards Xiao Tianci full of tenderness.

Xiao Tianci sighed softly and whispered to the person outside the door, "Sister Qin, protect me." He had been contemplating whether to explain things to Nalan Ruoshui, and he didn't know how to do so. Now, Nalan Ruoshui seemed to know everything for no apparent reason.

Xiao Tianci took off his clothes, slipped into the covers, and gently embraced Nalan Ruoshui's smooth body. Nalan Ruoshui trembled slightly, then clung to Xiao Tianci.

It turned out that Nangong Xiaoyu's letter said that the Nine Yin Meridians were not actually that difficult to cure, but it was best to do so before the age of 16. If someone with profound internal strength could open up all the meridians in her body before that age, the Nine Yin Meridians would be cured, because the Nine Yin Meridians were essentially a blockage of the meridians. However, she knew that Nalan Ruoshui was about to turn 20, and her meridians must be very fragile and probably could not withstand external forces. If she used ordinary methods, she would probably die from meridian rupture before the meridians were opened. Therefore, the only way was to use internal energy from the inside out and from weak to strong, slowly opening up the meridians step by step. After considering it and discussing it with Hanxiang, she decided to use the same method that Hanxiang had used to save him. That was actually a method recorded in the Demonic Scripture of the Demonic Sect, called the Reversal of Yin and Yang Technique. It was developed from the ancient Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique. Hanxiang carefully explained the principle of the method, which also made Xiao Tianci understand why Anjing hadn't been able to save him before. It turned out that this method required the woman to be at least a virgin, and preferably a pure Yin body. Each time this method was used, it would greatly improve the power of both parties. So in the end, Qin Mengru unintentionally saved Xiao Tianci, and both of them benefited a lot.

However, Nangong Xiaoyu told Xiao Tianci that because Nalan Ruoshui's constitution was probably relatively weak, and she was about to turn 20, which was the time when the symptoms were about to flare up, the chance of success was not very high. If it didn't work the first time, Nalan Ruoshui might never be able to be cured. Therefore, Xiao Tianci couldn't decide whether to try it.

However, things were already set in stone. Xiao Tianci gently kissed Nalan Ruoshui, and at the same time, Nalan Ruoshui felt a sharp pain in her lower body. Xiao Tianci had already violated her virginity. The two remained in this position, and Xiao Tianci slowly began to circulate his true energy through Nalan Ruoshui's eight extraordinary meridians. He simultaneously activated the Yin-Yang Reversal Technique, and the true energy circulated repeatedly, turning again and again...

Dongfang Qin was very anxious. It had been three days, and Xiao Tianci and Nalan Ruoshui were still inseparable. She had secretly looked at them but couldn't see anything unusual. She didn't dare to disturb them and could only wait foolishly outside. Baihe and the others came to ask Dongfang Qin every day, and Dongfang Qin had to stop them to prevent them from impulsively barging in. Now, even Shaoyao was looking at Dongfang Qin with a somewhat abnormal gaze.

Xiao Tianci finally snapped out of his meditative state. He had inexplicably entered a meditative state after circulating his true energy twelve times. Now, upon waking, he found himself still intimately connected with Nalan Ruoshui. He circulated his true energy to examine her meridians and found them unobstructed, which filled him with joy.

"Ruoshui, how are you feeling now?" Xiao Tianci released his kiss on Nalan Ruoshui's lips and asked.

"Oh, you're so annoying! I just fell asleep!" Nalan Ruoshui blushed and pouted coquettishly.

"Ruoshui, you're cured, do you know that?" Xiao Tianci was overjoyed and moved slightly, eliciting a soft moan from Nalan Ruoshui.

"You bad boy, what are you doing? Don't move!" Nalan Ruoshui playfully flicked his nose.

"Young Master, you've finally woken up. Do you know you haven't gotten up for three days?" Dongfang Qin's plaintive voice came from beside him.

"Three days? It feels like only a moment ago." Xiao Tianci was stunned for a moment, but Dongfang Qin clearly wouldn't lie to him.

"Ruoshui, let's get up, don't sleep anymore." Xiao Tianci patted her cute little face.

"Help me get dressed." Nalan Ruoshui nodded and started directing Xiao Tianci again. Xiao Tianci seemed to have forgotten Nalan Ruoshui's unusual behavior before the treatment; at this moment, he was only concerned with being happy.

This time, Nalan Ruoshui didn't ask Xiao Tianci to hold her, but simply clung to his arm like a little bird. Nalan Ruoshui was still as delicate and frail as ever, seemingly unchanged. But Xiao Tianci himself knew that his skill had improved by more than a little. It seemed that Nangong Xiaoyu was right, but perhaps a bit exaggerated, because his skill had improved so much, now almost doubling in strength. What Xiao Tianci didn't know was that Nalan Ruoshui was the pure Yin body that Nangong Xiaoyu had mentioned.

Nalan Ruoshui ate her food without any regard for others, completely unladylike. She hadn't eaten for three days; it was no wonder she was hungry. But Xiao Tianci seemed to remember something, staring blankly at Nalan Ruoshui, unable to eat.

"Why are you looking at me like that? If you want to ask anything, wait until I'm full. You should eat some too, be good." Nalan Ruoshui actually turned the tables and coaxed Xiao Tianci.

"Why does she look more and more like a little devil?" Xiao Tianci muttered to himself.

"I'm a fairy, not a little devil." Nalan Ruoshui glared at him, startling Xiao Tianci. I don't think I said anything just now. Could she know what others are thinking? Impossible, right? If that's the case, then she knows everything I'm thinking? However, Xiao Tianci seemed to be starting to believe his guess, because only in this way could he explain why he hadn't said anything, but Nalan Ruoshui knew everything.

Chapter Fifty: The Two-Faced

Nalan Nalan Ruoshui's current appearance was completely different from her former delicate, weak, and somewhat silly self. While eating, she would occasionally blurt out a sentence, and everything she said was related to what Xiao Tianci was thinking, making Xiao Tianci break out in a cold sweat. He could only try not to think about anything, but it seemed unrealistic to try not to think about anything at all.

Nalan Ruoshui finally finished her meal, completely satisfied. Then—she wiped her greasy little hands clean on Xiao Tianci's body, giggled, and ran away, saying, "You're so dirty, I don't want you to hug me anymore." This left Xiao Tianci both amused and exasperated.

"Ruoshui, tell us the truth! What are you hiding from us? How do you know what I'm thinking?" Xiao Tianci hardened his heart, put on a stern face, and said fiercely to Nalan Ruoshui.

"Sister Qin, he bullied me, boohoo..." Nalan Ruoshui suddenly burst into tears and buried herself in Dongfang Qin's arms. "Why are you being so fierce? What if you scare Ruoshui? Can't you just ask her what's wrong?" Dongfang Qin glared at Xiao Tianci and quickly comforted Nalan Ruoshui, but she didn't see Nalan Ruoshui secretly giving Xiao Tianci a defiant glare with her teary eyes and wrinkling her cute little nose.

“Sister Qin, don’t spoil her. She’s not as clueless as you think.” Xiao Tianci said helplessly, Dongfang Qin’s natural maternal instincts kicking in.

“Ruoshui, just tell us. We won’t blame you.” Dongfang Qin wasn’t stupid; she could easily see through Nalan Ruoshui’s sudden unusual behavior.

“Yes, Ruoshui, just satisfy her curiosity. We won’t blame you.” Xiao Yuya also gently persuaded Nalan Ruoshui.

“You really won’t blame me? But I’m afraid you won’t play with me anymore if you find out.” Nalan Ruoshui looked pitiful, and it didn’t seem like she was faking it.

“Don’t worry, Ruoshui. Can you really know what we’re thinking? If so, you can know that we’ll still spoil you like before.” Xiao Tianci tried a softer approach when his hard approach didn’t work.

"But I'm afraid you won't want me anymore," Nalan Ruoshui said pitifully, but her next sentence infuriated Xiao Tianci. "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Sister Qin and the others all those lewd thoughts you're having?"

"You!" Xiao Tianci was furious. "Ruoshui, if you don't tell me, I really won't want you anymore. I'll have someone send you back to the capital right away and give you to your father. Your father will be so happy to know you're cured."

"No, I'll tell you!" Nalan Ruoshui threw herself at Xiao Tianci, then suddenly chuckled. "You're just trying to scare me, hehe, I'm not afraid at all."

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. I know what people are thinking." Nalan Ruoshui saw Xiao Tianci's face turn green and reluctantly said it.

"When I was five, I discovered I could read people's minds, so I knew I had a terminal illness very early on. My father kept it from me, but I know he truly loved me. He only wanted me to live a happy life, free from worries and sorrow. He didn't teach me anything, afraid that knowing too much would make me understand my situation. So I pretended to know nothing, and I did that for over a decade. Now, I don't even understand which one is the real me—the innocent and pitiful Nalan Ruoshui, or this Nalan Ruoshui who can see into people's hearts? I thought my life would just pass by like this, but then I met you, and I discovered there's so much more to the world. I pretended to know nothing in front of you, but you never tried to take advantage of me. I can see your love and pity for me in your heart. You and I..." Those few days together were the happiest time of my life, truly without worries or sorrows. You know, even though Father loves me dearly at home, every time he visits, I see the sadness in his heart. How can I be happy? Only when I'm with you do I truly feel joy. I know I'm about to die, and I just wanted to spend a few happy months with you before I died. So I found a way to let Father know my thoughts. Father loves me dearly, and of course he couldn't bear to go against what was practically my last wish before I died. I finally came to your side as I wished. You really love me too, and my sisters love me dearly as well. I know they actually want you to be with them, but they deliberately pushed you towards me so you could be with me. I was really selfish, please don't blame me, okay?" Nalan Ruoshui said a lot in a low voice, and Xiao Tianci and the others couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Actually, I originally thought I would never let anyone know about my special abilities in my life, because I was afraid. I was afraid that if others knew what I was like, they would think I was a monster. Even if they didn't think I was a monster, they wouldn't play with me, because nobody wants to have someone who knows everything about their heart by their side. Everyone has their own secrets. I was afraid that if you knew, you would drive me away. I thought that since I'm going to die soon anyway, I shouldn't let you know." Nalan Ruoshui looked at Xiao Tianci pitifully like a little girl who had done something wrong. "Will you ignore me?"

"Can't you read my mind? Why are you asking me?" Xiao Tianci said irritably. This little girl, who knows how many things he has on his mind.

"Actually, I don't know many things about you. Anyway, you're always thinking about this sister or that sister, you big pervert." Nalan Ruoshui scolded Xiao Tianci in a coquettish tone. Xiao Tianci realized that she had known what he was thinking again, and he groaned inwardly.

"Ruoshui, do you know what everyone is thinking?" Dongfang Qin asked.

"Actually, it's not like that. If someone's body touches me, I can know what they're thinking. Also, if I can see their eyes, I can know that too. I don't know about other situations." Seeing that Xiao Tianci seemed to want to leave her aside, Nalan Ruoshui quickly added, "Don't push me away! You're the exception. As long as I can see you, I can know what you're thinking."

"Really? Ruoshui, how could I be the exception?" Xiao Tianci thought, "Am I really that unlucky?"

"You're different. Originally, you were the same as them, but now it's different. I don't know why, but now as long as you're not too far from me, I can know what you're thinking." Nalan Ruoshui blushed, looking a little shy.

"Really? I'm so unlucky." Xiao Tianci lamented inwardly.

"How are you unlucky? You have such a beautiful fairy like me with you, aren't you satisfied?" Nalan Ruoshui twisted his ear.

“By the way, Ruoshui, can’t you read people’s minds? Why don’t you come with us to interrogate Yue Xiaomin? When we question her, you can observe her thoughts,” Dongfang Qin suddenly said.

“Okay, I was just trying to help him anyway, otherwise I wouldn’t have said anything. You’re really ungrateful.” Nalan Ruoshui glared at Xiao Tianci. “And let me tell you, that Situ Yingwu has no good intentions towards you. Don’t be fooled by him.”

“Really? He seemed to be helping me the whole time.” Xiao Tianci was a little skeptical, but he knew that what Nalan Ruoshui said couldn’t be false.

“When I met him with you that day, what he said to you was completely different from what he was thinking, which is why I told you to leave.” Xiao Tianci finally understood why Nalan Ruoshui seemed a little abnormal that day.

“I understand, Ruoshui. Let’s go ask Yue Xiaomin first and see how she’s going to make trouble for me.” Xiao Tianci looked a little dejected. He originally thought Situ Yingwu was nice to him, but it turned out he was two-faced. Was it really that hard for him to make friends?

"

Xiaomin, I don't have any deep-seated hatred for you, do I? Why are you so determined to make things difficult for me?" Xiao Tianci looked at Yue Xiaomin, who looked much more haggard in the past few days.

"Xiao Tianci, do you know? The person I hate most in this world is you." Yue Xiaomin glared at him hatefully. "Unless you lock me up like this for the rest of my life, as soon as I get out, I'll tell everyone that you not only imprisoned me but also humiliated me every day to clear your name. Haha, Bai Yulou and the others won't let you off the hook then."

"Do you think Bai Yulou can do anything to me?" Xiao Tianci said calmly. "Don't expect them to stand up for you. They only care about their own interests. You're just a tool for them. Don't be so stubborn. We've been husband and wife for a while. Can't you tell me who's behind this? Even if you don't tell me, at least don't do it yourself!"

"Don't even think about it. Let me tell you, that person is almost as smart as Nangong Xiaoyu, but you'll never know. Just wait to die!" Yue Xiaomin revealed something this time, at least admitting that someone was indeed manipulating things behind the scenes.

"Who are you talking about?" Xiao Tianci asked again.

"Do you think I'd tell you?" Yue Xiaomin's disdainful look infuriated Xiao Tianci.

"One day I'll make you talk. If you don't, I'll keep you locked up. Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue. Besides me, nobody cares about your life or death." Xiao Tianci said coldly, turning and leaving with Nalan Ruoshui.

"Ruoshui, did you see what she was thinking?" Xiao Tianci began discussing with Dongfang Qin and the others after they came out.

"You big pervert, she really hates you." Nalan Ruoshui said with a grin.

"That's all you saw?" Xiao Tianci felt a little uneasy.

"Not much. She's mostly thinking about you. Actually, I think she still has feelings for you. Why don't you go and coax her? Maybe she'll tell you everything." Nalan Ruoshui completely ignored Xiao Tianci's murderous glare.

"Ruoshui, stop teasing him. Tell him what you saw." Dongfang Qin, seeing Xiao Tianci's pitiful state, helped him out.

“Actually, I really didn’t see anything. Even Sister Min didn’t seem to know who that person was. When you asked earlier, I saw her think about what that person looked like. I only know it was a woman, but I don’t know her name or what she looks like. But I’m telling you, Sister Min really still likes you. She hates that you didn’t care about her before, only caring about some princess.” Nalan Ruoshui’s words deflated everyone. They still didn’t know who it was, but it was better than before; at least they knew it was a woman.

“I’m serious! Go and coax her. Aren’t you good at coaxing girls?” Nalan Ruoshui said to Xiao Tianci in a coquettish tone.

“Young Master, I think this is a good idea. Sister Ruoshui won’t be wrong. If Yue Xiaomin can change her mind, then everything will be much easier.” Dongfang Hua finally spoke up.

"Let me think about it first. It's getting late, everyone should rest and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Xiao Tianci sighed, finding it hard to accept Yue Xiaomin.

"I want to sleep with you." Nalan Ruoshui blushed and clung to him.

***********

"Do you not want her because you think she's been with another man?" Nalan Ruoshui leaned against Xiao Tianci, asking softly. She had lost her former naivety and gained a shrewdness.

"You already know what I'm thinking, why are you asking me?" Xiao Tianci said lazily, already plotting revenge against Nalan Ruoshui.

"You big pervert, don't do anything rash!" Nalan Ruoshui blushed. "You men are so selfish. You have so many women, and you're uncomfortable if she's with someone else, hmph." She twisted Xiao Tianci's ear hard; pulling his ears was now her favorite thing to do.

"Ruoshui, I still think you were better the way you were before." Xiao Tianci sighed, now a little afraid of Nalan Ruoshui.

"What's so good about it? You think you can fool me like that? You treat me like a child every day, dream on!" Nalan Ruoshui said coquettishly.

"Then I won't treat you like a child anymore, I'll treat you like an adult now." Xiao Tianci kissed her cherry lips fiercely, pressing down on them.

"Ugh~~~~~~~" Nalan Ruoshui wanted to say something, but was silenced. She could already feel Xiao Tianci's rising desire, so she could only wrap her slender arms around him, enduring his greedy onslaught.

*********

"You big pervert, you dead pervert, I'm going to tell Sister Qin that you're bullying me." Nalan Ruoshui bit Xiao Tianci's ear, her body completely exhausted by this guy, so she could only bite.

"Sister Qin is very kind to me, she won't do anything to me. Ruoshui, you better behave and don't tell them what I'm thinking, or I'll do this." As he spoke, his hands began to roam over her body again, and he even pretended to pounce on her again.

"You big pervert, I'm not afraid of you at all, as long as you're willing to give it to me." Little did Nalan Ruoshui know she had already seen through Xiao Tianci and wasn't afraid at all. "You dare threaten me? Humph." It seemed Xiao Tianci's tragic fate was inescapable.

Chapter 51

Where Does Love Belong? "Sister Hua, is

there any news about Jing'er and Ling'er?" Xiao Tianci was asking Dongfang Hua. "Young Master, we haven't found them recently, we're still looking. I'll let you know if there's any news."

"I really don't know where Zhu Ruolan took them." Xiao Tianci sighed slightly.

"Young Master, you shouldn't worry about them for now. Since they're with that Heavenly Bird Fairy, they should be fine. You should think about how to deal with Yue Xiaomin's matter first." Dongfang Hua felt a little uneasy. Why was she spending all her time helping him find women?

"I'm thinking of letting her go. It seems she won't say anything. Even Ruoshui can't see anything wrong with her. Keeping her here is useless." Xiao Tianci's words surprised Dongfang Hua.

“Young Master, what if she goes to the White Alliance and spreads rumors again? Wouldn’t you be asking for trouble?” Dongfang Hua was a little confused about what Xiao Tianci was thinking.

“I’ve already made up my mind. I don’t want the White Alliance to gossip about my actions. No matter what, I owe her more, and I don’t want her to suffer because of me. This is all I can do.” Xiao Tianci’s tone was firm.

“Since Young Master has already made up his mind, what else can I say? But do you want to discuss it with Sister Qin and the others?” Dongfang Hua was hoping that Dongfang Qin could persuade Xiao Tianci.

“No need. I’ll tell Sister Qin later. I’ll go release Yue Xiaomin now.” Xiao Tianci said and left Dongfang Hua’s room, leaving Dongfang Hua there in a daze. Why does this person suddenly seem so strange?

******

“You can go.” Xiao Tianci released Yue Xiaomin’s pressure points.

“What did you say?” Yue Xiaomin seemed a little incredulous.

“I said you can go. I don’t want to keep you locked up like this anymore. Go wherever you want.” Xiao Tianci repeated his meaning calmly.

"Why are you letting me go? Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the White Alliance again?" Yue Xiaomin still couldn't believe Xiao Tianci had let her go so easily.

"I told you to leave, so leave. Why ask so many questions? Say whatever you want, I don't care. Let me tell you, I just don't want to cause trouble, and I'm not afraid of them." Xiao Tianci suddenly snapped at Yue Xiaomin. "Are you leaving or not? If you're not leaving, don't even think about leaving again."

Yue Xiaomin was stunned. She had spent at least three months with Xiao Tianci and knew him somewhat. In her memory, Xiao Tianci had always been rather cowardly. Apart from pestering pretty girls, he didn't seem to do anything else. Today was the first time she had seen him get angry. Thinking about it carefully, she realized that Xiao Tianci seemed to be a different person than the Xiao Tianci she used to know.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Xiao Tianci urged her on.

"Fine, I'll leave! Do you think I want to stay here? Xiao Tianci, let me tell you, I won't let this go so easily!" Yue Xiaomin, inexplicably angered by Xiao Tianci's urging, yelled at him a few times before turning and running away.

Xiao Tianci stood there, motionless for a long time, lost in thought.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Dongfang Qin's gentle voice rang in his ears.

"Sister Qin, do you think it was right or wrong for me to let her go?" Xiao Tianci turned and hugged Dongfang Qin, his voice tinged with disappointment and sadness.

"I don't know either, but I think you must have your reasons. Since you've made up your mind, then go ahead and do it. I'll support you," Dongfang Qin said softly.

"Sister Qin, you're so good to me." Xiao Tianci tightened his grip on Dongfang Qin's arms. "Sister Qin, please don't call me Young Master anymore. It sounds strange to me."

"But I'm used to calling you that, and you're Miss's husband, so naturally I should address you that way." Dongfang Qin's face flushed slightly, because Xiao Tianci was currently making unwanted advances towards her.

“Call me whatever you want,” Xiao Tianci said helplessly. “Sister Qin, will you stay with me now?” He whispered in her ear.

“No, it’s still daytime. How about tonight?” Dongfang Qin’s face was flushed. This guy was getting more and more outrageous.

“But I missed you.” Xiao Tianci didn’t want to let her off so easily. He picked Dongfang Qin up and carried her out, quickly heading to her room. Dongfang Qin buried her face in Xiao Tianci’s chest, hoping no one would see them on the way. Luckily, the two places were close, and they arrived in no time.

“Are you troubled?” The flush on Dongfang Qin’s face made her look even more breathtakingly beautiful, and her languid appearance after the passion added to her charm.

“Sister Qin, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have…” Xiao Tianci felt a little guilty. He felt like he had just used Dongfang Qin as a way to vent his anger.

"I don't blame you." Dongfang Qin covered his mouth and said softly, "No matter what, I won't blame you."

"Sister Qin, do you think it's possible for a woman to love someone while also hating that person?" Xiao Tianci suddenly asked.

"You're asking about Yue Xiaomin, right? Actually, Ruoshui shouldn't be mistaken. Besides, throughout history, there have been countless cases of love turning into hate. So, it's possible that Yue Xiaomin loves you but also hates you." Dongfang Qin's voice was gentle, showing no jealousy at Xiao Tianci's thoughts of Yue Xiaomin.

"If she loves me, then how could she have fallen for Zhan Qingchen?" Xiao Tianci still didn't understand.

"Then do you love me? Do you love Miss?" Dongfang Qin rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"Sister Qin, of course I love you and Sister Xuan too," Xiao Tianci quickly replied.

"You can love several, but Yue Xiaomin can't love two? Besides, she only fell for someone else because you ignored her back then, what's the big deal?" Dongfang Qin seemed a little uncomfortable thinking about Xiao Tianci's many women, and her tone became somewhat fierce.

"Actually, it's not impossible for a woman to love several people, it's just that due to traditional values, no one can accept this fact. And once a woman falls in love with several men, she usually chooses to forget some of them and focus on one, which is why people think she can't love several. Why can't you understand this?" Dongfang Qin's tone softened again when she saw Xiao Tianci's somewhat aggrieved expression. "

Maybe I really am too selfish," Xiao Tianci murmured. "Sister Qin, thank you, I feel much better now." “

Yue Xiaomin might go to Bai Yulou to complain. You need to think of a solution.” Dongfang Qin was a little worried.

“I’m afraid Bai Yulou might not have time to deal with her. Besides, even if he did, I wouldn’t be afraid. I really don’t know how Bai Yulou could be the leader of the martial arts alliance for so long. His martial arts skills aren’t that great, and his character isn’t much better.” Xiao Tianci said lazily, hugging Dongfang Qin

and not wanting to get up. “It seems someone is coming.” Dongfang Qin suddenly said softly, her face flushed. After all, if someone saw the two of them like this in broad daylight, even if Xiao Tianci was thick-skinned and not afraid, Dongfang Qin would still be shy.

“So what if they’re coming? Anyway, they know we’re like this.” Xiao Tianci said nonchalantly.

“Sister Qin, is Young Master here with you?” There was a knock on the door, followed by Dongfang Hua’s voice.

“What should I do? They’ve come looking for you here. They’re going to laugh me to death.” "It turns out that Dongfang Qin is often teased by those three sisters and is quite afraid of them now.

" "It's alright, I'll go tease her a bit, then she won't dare to laugh at you anymore." Xiao Tianci suddenly had a wicked idea and got up to open the door without even putting on his clothes.

Poor Dongfang Hua saw the door open and was about to come in when she was quickly lifted up and placed next to Dongfang Qin. Looking at Xiao Tianci and Dongfang Qin's naked appearance, she couldn't help but blush and close her eyes.

"Young master, isn't this a bit inappropriate for Xiao Hua?" Although Dongfang Qin was happy that she could tease Dongfang Hua now, she was still a little uneasy.

"Sister Qin, how can you tease me with the young master?" Dongfang Hua was both ashamed and anxious, but Xiao Tianci still wouldn't let go of her.

"Xiao Hua, it's not my fault." Dongfang Qin said innocently.

"Sister Hua, you came here on your own, you can't blame me." Xiao Tianci had a wicked look on his face.

"Young master, please let me go and let me get up, okay?" "I have something to tell you." At this point, Dongfang Hua had no choice but to plead; she couldn't refuse if Xiao Tianci really wanted to do something.

"You've teased her enough, why don't you let her go?" Dongfang Qin, seeing Xiao Tianci clinging to Dongfang Hua with a hint of reluctance, felt a pang of jealousy and finally spoke up for Dongfang Hua.

"Alright, Sister Hua, what do you need me for? Uh~" Xiao Tianci finally released Dongfang Hua, genuinely seeming reluctant. Dongfang Qin, annoyed, pinched him under the covers, causing Xiao Tianci to let out a miserable groan.

"Young Master, we have some news about the Demonic Sect." Dongfang Hua wanted to laugh, but knew it was best not to now, otherwise she couldn't guarantee what tricks Xiao Tianci might use against her.

"The Demonic Sect? That doesn't seem to concern us. The Demonic Sect hasn't bothered us for a long time." "Xiao Tianci doesn't seem very interested.

"We received information that the Demonic Sect will launch an attack on the White Alliance tonight. Xiao Cangtian is always cautious; he wouldn't launch a full-scale attack on the White Alliance's main forces unless he had some certainty. So I think something's not right." Dongfang Hua said softly, actually afraid that if she looked up, Xiao Tianci would see the strained look on her face.

"I see," Xiao Tianci considered something, "Logically speaking, the White Alliance is at its strongest and most difficult to deal with now, even with Daoist Chongxu still around. Why would the Demonic Sect launch a full-scale attack on them at this time? Do they have some other conspiracy?" "

That's what I was thinking too, so I'm asking you, young master, if we should intervene?" Dongfang Hua thought to herself, "You're not too stupid."

"Why should we intervene? The life or death of the White Alliance has nothing to do with us." Xiao Tianci said, but he seemed a little unsure of himself.

"Really nothing to do with us? What about Qiu Shuiyao?" Although Dongfang Qin shyly hid under the covers, she secretly bit Xiao Tianci hard, then poked her head out, clearly jealous.

"Sister Qin, how did you know?" Xiao Tianci whispered. Women can be terrifying when they're jealous.

"What do you care how I know! Get up and go tell Qiu Shuiyao!" Dongfang Qin snapped, clearly furious that Qiu Shuiyao was particularly angry, probably because she felt Qiu Shuiyao was too much of a threat.

"Young Master, Sister Qin, I'll take my leave now." Dongfang Hua couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, quickly running out the door before the two could react.

"It's all your fault, Xiao Hua saw it again." If she went back and told everyone, she'd probably be laughed at even more.

"Sister Qin, it's nothing, I can help you get revenge and tease Sister Hua again?" Xiao Tianci slyly asked, clearly plotting something.

"Dream on!" "You said you'd help me get revenge, but I think you just want to take advantage of Xiao Hua!" Dongfang Qin glared at him. "Aren't you getting up? If you don't, I'll kick you off the stage!" "It seems her previous gentleness was just an occasional exception; a tigress is still a tigress."

Xiao

Tianci was now unsure whether to tell Qiu Shuiyao the news he had just received about the Demonic Sect. Although he disliked the White Alliance, he knew Qiu Shuiyao wouldn't ignore its affairs. If anything happened, she probably wouldn't escape either. In the end, he had no choice but to steel

himself and, risking being punished by Dongfang Qin, tell Qiu Shuiyao. Qiu Shuiyao sighed softly. She had been a disciple for quite some time, but the fight against the Demonic Sect seemed to have made little progress. Although she had contributed to the formation of the White Alliance, it didn't seem to have played a real role. The Demonic Sect, on the other hand, was becoming increasingly rampant, constantly attacking the headquarters of various sects while their masters were away, causing countless deaths and injuries to White Alliance disciples. Remembering her master's instructions, Qiu Shuiyao was filled with mixed emotions. Not only had she failed to fulfill her sect's responsibilities, but she had also fallen in love with a man. She didn't know how to face her master.

"Why are you here at this time?" Qiu Shuiyao's heart skipped a beat; she already knew who had come. She had an inexplicable connection with Xiao Tianci.

"Yao'er, I have something to tell you," Xiao Tianci said, naturally pulling her into his arms first.

"Xiao Lang, it's still daytime. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Qiu Shuiyao said softly. She knew she couldn't live without this man, so she didn't object to Xiao Tianci's affectionate actions at all. "It would be very troublesome if you were discovered."

"But if I don't tell you now, I'm afraid it will be too late by tonight," Xiao Tianci said, tightening his grip on Qiu Shuiyao's slender waist.
