Volume 5, Chapter 6: Celestial Star and Immortal Shadow (Part 1)


Hua Ruoxu walked aimlessly down the street, having taken Hua Yuluan's spiteful words to heart. Perhaps deep down, he had never doubted Hua Yuluan's intentions.
"Meng'er, what should I do? Sister, where are you? Please come and tell me!" Hua Ruoxu silently prayed, Hua Feimeng's image and voice flashing through his mind. Her beauty, her contradictory personality—both gentle and willful—were deeply etched in his heart.
He knew he couldn't possibly seek revenge on Hua Yuluan for Hua Feimeng's sake; he would blame Hua Yuluan. But he didn't know how to treat her. His heart was filled with regret. If it weren't for him, Hua Feimeng wouldn't have been in trouble. A sudden chill ran through him. Would his senior sister go after Youyou, or even Qingjie?
A night breeze blew by, clearing his mind slightly. Suddenly, he realized something was amiss. Back at Mount Hua, Hua Yuluan had only forced Jiang Qingyue away. And while Hua Yuluan was extremely jealous, she shouldn't have harmed anyone, right? More importantly, he had witnessed Hua Feimeng's martial arts. Although he didn't know the full extent of Hua Yuluan's skills, Hua Feimeng shouldn't have been so easily killed.
"Could my senior sister be lying to me?" For the first time, Hua Ruoxu began to doubt Hua Yuluan.
Thinking of this, Hua Ruoxu's mood suddenly improved considerably. If Hua Feimeng wasn't dead, then he had nothing to worry about.
"No, I have to go back and ask my senior sister!" Hua Ruoxu thought to himself. This was a serious matter. If Hua Yuluan had really killed Hua Feimeng, he probably wouldn't dare face Hua Yuluan for the rest of his life; it would be a source of endless suffering.
Hua Ruoxu was extremely intelligent, but his mind always seemed to falter in front of Hua Yuluan. Now, thinking about it, he began to doubt Hua Yuluan's earlier words. His thoughts raced, and he quickly turned and hurried back to the inn.
*** *** ***
Hua Yuluan was sulking in the inn. When Hua Ruoxu left, she had tried several times to call him back, but her pride prevented her from speaking. Now, seeing him truly gone, she began to regret it. What if he didn't return? She truly didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, she heard light footsteps at the door. Hua Yuluan's heart leaped with joy, and she whirled around, only to reveal a disappointed expression. Her face quickly regained its coldness. The person who entered wasn't Hua Ruoxu, but Hua Feimeng, whom she had just claimed to have killed.
"What are you doing here?" Hua Yuluan said irritably, her eyes coldly fixed on Hua Feimeng.
"Well, of course I'm here to see Ruoxu." Hua Feimeng's eyes darted around the room as she said with a grin, though a hint of disappointment flickered across her face as she didn't see Hua Ruoxu there.
"He's not here!" Hua Yuluan said angrily. "Even if he were here, don't come looking for him!"
"Strange, he's not with you? But that makes sense, you're so fierce, even I, a man, wouldn't want to be with you." Hua Feimeng still smiled, her eyes darting around, and added, "I heard he was with you yesterday, has he dumped you?"
"Hua Feimeng, if you don't want to die, don't spout nonsense here!" Hua Yuluan was furious, gritting her teeth as she spoke.
"Of course I don't want to die, I'm perfectly fine. I originally came to find Ruoxu, but since he's not here, I'll teach you how to be a woman properly." Hua Feimeng said nonchalantly. "Speaking of which, Ruoxu is quite devoted to you. Xue Youyou and Su Daier are both prettier than you, and I, Hua Feimeng, am no less beautiful than you. I consider myself gentler than you and wouldn't yell at him all the time, but he still married you and never said he didn't want you. If he wasn't truly sincere towards you, he probably would have divorced you long ago."
"Hua Feimeng, it's your business if you like fickle men, I, Hua Yuluan, don't need you to teach me!" Hua Yuluan said coldly.
"Everyone loves beauty. I can tell you, no normal man could resist Xue Youyou and Su Daier," Hua Feimeng said with a chuckle. "Of course, any man I, Hua Feimeng, set my sights on will also be irresistible."
"Are you done? If you're done, you can leave. Otherwise, I'll kick you out!" Hua Yuluan seemed to be struggling to hold back. In truth, she had indeed considered killing Hua Feimeng, but Hua Ruoxu's departure had made her somewhat worried. Although she was jealous, she hadn't completely lost her reason.
"Hua Yuluan, I'm just kindly reminding you. Otherwise, one day you'll regret it." Hua Feimeng had been smiling all along. Seeing that Hua Yuluan was on the verge of exploding, she decided to leave. After saying this, she turned to leave, but then paused, slightly stunned.
Hua Ruoxu stood there, looking at Hua Feimeng with a strange, ambiguous expression, his lips trembling slightly, wanting to say something but unable to.
"Ruoxu, you're back! I've been looking for you." Hua Feimeng smiled sweetly and rushed over, ignoring Hua Yuluan who was right beside her.
Hua Ruoxu opened his arms and hugged Hua Feimeng tightly, very tightly.
"Meng'er, you're really alright, that's wonderful, wonderful!" Hua Ruoxu murmured. The huge contrast between losing and regaining her had greatly changed his mood, to the point that he could ignore Hua Yuluan watching and take the initiative to hug Hua Feimeng. "
You two should be affectionate outside!" Hua Yuluan finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted angrily at the two embracing.
"Senior Sister." Hua Ruoxu's excited mood calmed down a little, and he called out softly to Hua Yuluan, but he did not let go of Hua Feimeng, still holding her slender waist.
"Hua Ruoxu, how many women do you want? Jiang Qingyue from before, Xue Youyou now, and this woman—how many will satisfy you?" Hua Yuluan's voice trembled, tears welling in her eyes. In this world, she would only grieve for one person, only shed tears for him.
"Senior Sister, I'm sorry, I know this isn't fair to you, but I really can't abandon them anymore. I've said before that I would definitely find Sister Qing, and I also promised Youyou that I would take care of her for the rest of my life. I can't break my promise." Hua Ruoxu finally decided to make things clear today.


Volume 5, Chapter 6, Heavenly Star Immortal Shadow (Part 2)


"Hua Ruoxu, I ask you, do you still consider me your wife?" Hua Yuluan forced herself to suppress her anger and took a slight breath.
"Senior Sister, whether in the past, present, or future, you are my wife. If there is an afterlife, I still want you to be my wife." Hua Ruoxu's eyes were incredibly clear as he looked at Hua Yuluan, without a trace of falsehood, and his tone was incredibly sincere.
"Then let me tell you, with me here, you can forget about marrying another woman. It's either me or them, it's either me or them!" Hua Yuluan said coldly. "I'm asking you now, do you want this woman or me?" She pointed at Hua Feimeng.
"Senior sister, please don't force me, okay?" Hua Ruoxu said softly.
"Hua Ruoxu, you're the one forcing me now! I'm telling you, today, you either choose her or you choose me! You can forget about having both of them!" Hua Yuluan snorted coldly.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Hua Ruoxu's expression kept changing. No matter which choice he made, he couldn't accept it. He couldn't lose Hua Yuluan, but he also couldn't lose the other women. But now he was essentially forced to the edge of a cliff. One wrong step and he could fall and never recover.
Hua Yuluan's beautiful eyes blazed with anger as she coldly stared at Hua Ruoxu and Hua Feimeng. Hua Feimeng, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, leaning against Hua Ruoxu, her face still beaming with a smile.
"Don't choose anyone else, my dear little brother, choose me, your older sister!" A cheerful voice broke the unbearable silence. Hua Ruoxu turned his head rapidly, somewhat incredulous. She
was still dressed in the same white gown she had worn when they first met, still had that same waist-length, jet-black hair, still so flawless, so otherworldly.
Hua Ruoxu involuntarily released Hua Feimeng, taking small steps forward until he reached her. It felt like ten years had passed; it felt so long.
He gently reached out his hand, stopping just before touching her body. He was afraid that if he touched her, she would vanish. He didn't want all the longing he had felt over the past few days to vanish like this.
"You lecherous little brother, don't you recognize your older sister?" A soft laugh rang out.
"Sister, is it really you? I... am I dreaming?" Hua Ruoxu's voice trembled. At this moment, he had completely forgotten that Hua Feimeng and Hua Yuluan were beside him. In his eyes, there was only her, this fairy who did not belong to the mortal world, Hua Tianxing.
"Of course it's me, your sister, hehe." Hua Tianxing giggled, and just like the first time, her body suddenly floated up again, throwing herself into Hua Ruoxu's arms.
Hua Ruoxu once again couldn't help but reach out his hand, but suddenly remembered that the first time he had just hugged empty air. He smiled somewhat awkwardly and prepared to withdraw his hand.
"You lecherous little brother!" Hua Tianxing's giggles rang in his ears again, and she had already thrown herself into Hua Ruoxu's arms. Hua Ruoxu suddenly realized that this time was different from the last time. His hands were actually touching a soft body. The body was very light, but it was really soft and real.
"Sister, you, how come?" Hua Ruoxu's voice stammered, he could hardly believe it was real, yet his true feelings told him it was. Hua Tianxing was no longer just an illusion, but a real person standing before him.
"Little brother, seeing how troubled you are, let your sister help you." Hua Tianxing's soft laughter rang in his ears again, and then Hua Tianxing felt dizzy and lost consciousness.
"Hehe, now he's mine, you two can fight over him." Hua Tianxing giggled, gently holding Hua Ruoxu in her arms, and smiled sweetly at Hua Feimeng and Hua Yuluan. Then, a white shadow flashed, and Hua Tianxing disappeared before their eyes. "Hey
, stop!" Hua Yuluan was startled and quickly chased after him, but there was no trace of him, not even a shadow.
"Where's Ruoxu?" Hua Feimeng also came out.
"How should I know? Do you even know who this woman is?" Hua Yuluan said irritably.
"How should I know? Where did she come from?" Hua Feimeng muttered, looking equally confused.
"Didn't Ruoxu call him 'sister'? Do you know who his sister is?" Hua Feimeng asked after a moment's thought.
"He doesn't have a sister at all!" Hua Yuluan glared at Hua Feimeng.
"This woman is really beautiful. I think I can't compare to her." Hua Feimeng said softly, seemingly a little dejected.
"She's already kidnapped him. You still have the mind to think about these things? You should think about how to find him." Hua Yuluan said, both amused and annoyed. Strangely enough, the two of them had been like enemies just now, but now they seemed a little like friends.
"What's the point of looking for him? Even a fool could see that the woman treats him very well. Anyway, he won't be in any danger. Just wait for him to come back on his own." Hua Feimeng said lazily, showing no enthusiasm.
"You! What if something happens?" Hua Yuluan said angrily.
"Seeing how much you care about him, you really love him!" Hua Feimeng chuckled at Hua Yuluan. "Let me tell you, he'll definitely come back to you, you can rest assured. Anyway, there are plenty of prettier women around him now, and he still runs home every time, doesn't he? Some people just don't know how lucky they are!" Hua Feimeng said, looking regretful.
"I don't have time to argue with you right now, I'm going to find him." Hua Yuluan glared at Hua Feimeng, quickly tidied herself up, and left.
*** *** ***
Watching Hua Yuluan's retreating figure, Hua Feimeng was slightly lost in thought. Suddenly, she realized that her negative impression of Hua Yuluan had lessened considerably. Although Hua Yuluan was naturally jealous, she loved Hua Ruoxu wholeheartedly and wouldn't change her mind because of anything. And what about her? Could she do the same? She really didn't know.
The sudden appearance of Hua Tianxing puzzled Hua Feimeng. She was certain that this person had never appeared in the martial arts world before; otherwise, it was impossible for no one to know her. She was simply too beautiful, or rather, beautiful was an understatement. Her ethereal气质 made her seem like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs.
Hua Ruoxu opened his eyes to a white curtain adorned with pale green flowers, fresh and elegant. A captivating fragrance wafted from the blankets, causing him to involuntarily sniff.
"Sister!" He immediately remembered what had happened before he fainted and sat up abruptly, calling out anxiously, fearing that everything he had just experienced was merely a dream.


Volume 5, Chapter 7, Jade Phoenix's Deep Affection (Part 1)


"Little brother, your sister is here." Hua Tianxing's sweet laughter rang out. In fact, Hua Ruoxu had already noticed her as soon as he sat up; she was sitting right beside the bed, but he hadn't sensed her presence at all.
"Sister, where am I now? How are my senior sisters?" Hua Ruoxu was relieved to see Hua Tianxing still beside him.
"Little brother, I haven't cared about them since I brought you here, how would I know?" Hua Tianxing said innocently. "Actually, this place is quite close to your inn. Do you want to go back?"
"Sister, I wonder if Senior Sister and Meng'er will fight. I want to go see." Hua Ruoxu said softly. Strangely enough, when he first saw Hua Tianxing, he had almost completely forgotten about Hua Yuluan and Hua Feimeng, fearing that Hua Tianxing would suddenly disappear again. But now, he seemed to have returned to the time when Hua Tianxing was attached to the Love Sword, no longer worried about Hua Tianxing disappearing, and thus began to worry about Hua Yuluan and the others.
"Hmph, you don't care about your sister at all, all you do is go see them." Hua Tianxing looked very unhappy.
"Sister, it's not like that, I..." Hua Ruoxu quickly explained, but Hua Tianxing didn't give him a chance to continue.
"Hehe, I was just teasing you. Didn't I tell you that you can't betray a girl who likes you? If you want to go, I'll support you, but what if they really fight?" Hua Tianxing giggled, her captivating charm making Hua Ruoxu's heart skip a beat. He quickly turned away, secretly reminding himself that this was his sister, and he couldn't have any improper thoughts about her.
"I don't know what to do, sister, please tell me what to do?" Hua Ruoxu had been overwhelmed by matters of the heart lately, and seeing Hua Tianxing was like grasping at a straw. He looked at her with hopeful eyes, hoping she could give him an answer.
"Little brother, these things are for you to decide. Just remember what I told you. If they truly like you, you must treat them well and not hurt the girl who likes you, understand?" Hua Tianxing suddenly sighed softly, looking at Hua Ruoxu with loving eyes, but Hua Ruoxu didn't notice.
"But sister, I really can't do it. If I'm nice to other girls, you'll be sad. I... I really don't know what to do." Hua Ruoxu was very distressed.
"You can never blame your senior sister. If she can't accept other girls, it must be because you didn't do enough," Hua Tianxing said softly. "Little brother, I don't understand what romantic love is. I only know that a man shouldn't betray a woman who loves him. How you should act is up to you, understand?"
"I understand, sister," Hua Ruoxu thought, feeling disappointed, but he tried not to show it. He had always thought Hua Tianxing was omnipotent, and he believed she could give him a satisfactory answer, but he was still disappointed.
Perhaps, everything really depended on himself. Hua Ruoxu thought to himself.
"Sister, can you tell me how you got out and why you're not an illusion anymore?" Hua Ruoxu finally asked the question he had been holding back for so long.
Hua Tianxing's expression changed slightly, then instantly returned to normal. She raised her pretty face and smiled sweetly at Hua Ruoxu, almost making him lose his mind.
"Little brother, don't you like your sister like this?" Hua Tianxing asked sweetly.
"Of course I like it, but... but..." He still wanted to know why she had become like this.
"If you like it, that's fine. Don't worry about how your sister became like this. Otherwise, if your sister gets unhappy, she'll turn back into her old self." Hua Tianxing chuckled.
"Ah!" Hua Ruoxu was startled and didn't dare to ask any further. No matter what, he preferred to see the current Hua Tianxing rather than the Hua Tianxing from before who was always eavesdropping on his thoughts. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but freeze again.
"Sister, do you still know what I'm thinking?" Hua Ruoxu asked timidly. What if she still knew? Wouldn't that be troublesome? Wouldn't she know all his wicked thoughts from just now?
"I don't know anymore. I don't want to know that you think about a bunch of girls every day." Hua Tianxing gave Hua Ruoxu a charming glare, wrinkled her nose, and gave a soft snort, "You lecherous little brother!"
Hua Ruoxu smiled awkwardly, but felt much relieved.
*** *** ***
After leaving Hua Tianxing's place, Hua Ruoxu realized it was just a small courtyard. Stepping outside, he was in the very center of Jinling City, not far from his inn. Besides Hua Tianxing, he didn't see anyone else. Hua Tianxing didn't want to come with him, only telling him that she would always be there and that he could come find her anytime. This reassured Hua Ruoxu; he wouldn't have to worry about not finding Hua Tianxing anymore.
Slowly recovering from the initial elation and shock of seeing Hua Tianxing, Hua Ruoxu was filled with questions. Hua Tianxing was now truly before him, which, while making him happy, was something he had never expected. Moreover, he had been in Jinling for so long; if Hua Tianxing had been here all along, why hadn't she come to find him until now? Hua Tianxing seemed no different than before, but he vaguely felt something was amiss, though he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
"Junior brother, are you alright?" A worried, delicate cry rang out, and a purple figure suddenly rushed to his side.
"Senior Sister, I'm fine. Why did you come out?" Hua Ruoxu said softly, gently embracing Hua Yuluan. A warm feeling rose in her heart. The concern and worry on Hua Yuluan's face were obvious. No matter how arrogant, indifferent, or ruthless Hua Yuluan was to others, she had always deeply loved and protected him.
"I saw you were arrested, and I was worried about you." Hua Yuluan's tone was slightly coquettish. Suddenly, she noticed that many people were watching, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
"What are you looking at?" Hua Yuluan glared at the crowd, her face flushed, and she pulled Hua Ruoxu away quickly.
Back at the inn, Hua Ruoxu looked at Hua Yuluan with a half-smile. It was rare to see Hua Yuluan so shy. At this moment, she looked exceptionally beautiful, completely different from her usual cold and aloof self.


Volume 5, Chapter 7, Yuluan's Deep Affection (Part 2)


"What are you laughing at? I was worried about you, and you still laugh!" Hua Yuluan scolded.
"Senior Sister, you don't need to look for me anymore. Just wait for me at home, and I will definitely come back." Hua Ruoxu gently embraced her delicate body and said affectionately.
"How do I know if you'll come back in a day or a year?" Hua Yuluan glanced at Hua Ruoxu with some dissatisfaction.
"Senior Sister, I'm sorry, but..." Hua Ruoxu sighed softly. If he had never appeared in the martial world, if he had never been separated from his senior sister, he wouldn't have met other girls, and he wouldn't even have known Hua Yufeng's feelings for him. Then he wouldn't have so many troubles, and Hua Yuluan wouldn't have been so heartbroken. It's truly a cruel twist of fate.
"Don't say anything more. Don't worry, I didn't do anything to Hua Feimeng." Hua Yuluan interrupted him, a surge of irritation rising within her, but she forcefully suppressed it. Taking a deep breath, as if making a great decision, Hua Yuluan stared intently at Hua Ruoxu. "From now on, don't let me know who you're going to see. Just pretend you're lying to me!"
"Senior Sister!" Hua Ruoxu hugged Hua Yuluan tightly, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He felt no joy, only guilt. He began to kiss Hua Yuluan passionately.
Tears slowly welled up in Hua Yuluan's eyes. She gently endured Hua Ruoxu's slightly rough advances, feeling a pang of sadness. She couldn't accept that Hua Ruoxu had other women, yet she truly couldn't lose him. So she came up with this self-deceptive request.
*** *** ***
"Envoy Jing greets Palace Master!" Hua Feimeng bowed respectfully.
"Sister Meng, you're back too!" The girl in white palace attire sighed softly.
"Palace Master, I have failed in my duties. Please forgive me and give me some more time. I will definitely do my best," Hua Feimeng said softly, her head bowed.
"Actually, whether we kill Ye Wuying or not is no longer of much importance. Even without her, the Seven Sects and Four Families Alliance will still exist, and they will still target our Divine Palace. Ever since Elder Feng and Elder Dian betrayed us, I have been worried about this day, but I did not expect it to come so soon, so soon that we did not have time to prepare," the girl in palace attire sighed softly. "
Palace Master, what should we do now?" Hua Feimeng asked, startled.
"Sister Yue will also return within three days. At that time, let's go to the Ye family," the girl in palace attire sighed softly.
"I understand!" Hua Feimeng did not really understand the Palace Master's intentions.
*** *** ***
Everyone had already left, only the girl in palace attire remained in the hall.
"Senior Sister, do you know why I did this?" she suddenly asked softly.
"Ye Bu'er claims to be fighting the Demon Palace, so apart from the leaders of each sect, the other disciples are kept in the dark and unaware of the truth. Let's help them out and not let them remain deceived." A melodious voice followed, and a white-clad, veiled girl suddenly appeared beside the girl in palace attire.
"Senior sister, only you and the Hidden Envoy haven't revealed your identities yet, so you must not come out unless it's absolutely necessary." The girl in palace attire said softly. "
Junior sister, don't worry, senior sister won't let you down." The veiled girl's voice turned slightly cold and stern. "I will definitely not let the people who killed Master go, nor those villains who tried to take advantage of the situation!"
"I won't let them go either!" A few cold glints flashed in the girl in palace attire's phoenix eyes.
"Junior Sister, what should we do about Hua Ruoxu?" The masked girl was silent for a moment before suddenly asking.
"What do you think, Senior Sister?" the girl in palace attire countered.
"Hua Ruoxu has extraordinary relationships with Hua Yufeng, the leader of the Seven Sects and Four Families Alliance, and Su Dai'er of the Demon Palace. Plus, his martial arts skills are not to be underestimated. If he were willing to help us wholeheartedly, he would indeed be a great help. However, it seems unlikely that he would genuinely help us," the masked girl said after thinking for a moment. "
Hua Ruoxu is a sentimental person; dealing with such a person is actually quite simple," the girl in palace attire said calmly. "But we don't need to be in such a hurry now. Perhaps he will take the initiative to help us in due time."
The masked girl nodded slightly. The two didn't speak again, and after a while, they each withdrew, and the hall returned to calm.
*** *** ***
Hua Ruoxu gently embraced the beauty in his arms, his heart filled with tenderness. Hua Yuluan had fallen into a deep sleep, very peaceful. The tear stains at the corners of her eyes had long since been kissed away by Hua Ruoxu, and at this moment, she seemed to have a slight smile on her face in her sleep.
However, Hua Ruoxu was not sleepy at all. It seemed that too many things had happened in the past few days: the Divine Palace, the alliance of the Seven Sects and Four Families, Hua Yufeng, Hua Tianxing, the intricate entanglements made him feel somewhat confused. Hua Yufeng hoped that he could stop Huashan from being ambushed by other sects, but so far he still had not come up with an effective solution. The only thing he thought was possible was to get Ye Wuying to agree to Huashan's withdrawal, but the possibility was too small. Moreover, he couldn't see Ye Wuying at all now, because he couldn't enter the Ye family unless he sneaked in.
"Junior brother, what are you thinking about?" Hua Yuluan woke up again at some point, looking at Hua Ruoxu with her beautiful eyes, and asked in a sweet voice.
"Senior Sister, I want to tell you something, but you must promise me you won't get agitated after I tell you, okay?" Looking into Hua Yuluan's clear, tranquil eyes, Hua Ruoxu suddenly felt it was a sin to keep it from her. Moreover, if he didn't tell her, it would be troublesome for him later, as he would constantly have to find ways to hide it from her.
"Second Senior Sister, perhaps telling you is a better choice," Hua Ruoxu thought to himself.
Hua Yuluan looked at Hua Ruoxu and nodded obediently.
*** *** ***
Hua Ruoxu gently recounted the connections between the various sects and the Divine Palace, as well as Hua Yufeng's worries. Hua Yuluan listened quietly, her expression constantly shifting, showing surprise and anger.
"Senior Sister, that's all. Second Senior Sister was afraid you'd impulsively go to the Divine Palace, which would only help Ye Bu'er and the others more, so she didn't tell you." Finally finished, Hua Ruoxu looked at Hua Yuluan's reaction with some concern.


Volume 5, Chapter 8: A Chance Encounter with Qingyue (Part 1)


"Junior brother, let's go to my sister's place tomorrow. If the Ye family still won't let us in, we'll just barge in," Hua Yuluan said after a long pause, looking at Hua Ruoxu.
"Senior sister, won't that make Ye Bu'er suspect we know his plot?" Hua Ruoxu asked after a moment's thought.
"He's definitely prepared for us to discover his plot, but he's convinced we can't resist. I won't go to the Divine Palace, but we can't let my sister deal with them alone inside. We should help her," Hua Yuluan said calmly, without the excitement Hua Yufeng had expected.
Hua Ruoxu thought about it and agreed that Hua Yuluan's suggestion was indeed good; it just depended on how the Ye family would treat them tomorrow.
*** *** ***
Hua Ruoxu and Hua Yuluan arrived at the Ye family together. Surprisingly, no one stopped them this time, not even asking who they were looking for.
In the council hall of the Seven Sects and Four Families Alliance, Hua Yufeng sat in the high seat, with representatives from each sect seated on either side.
Hua Yufeng coldly observed the crowd, remaining silent. The so-called meeting was merely a formality; she was now no different from a mere decoration. Perhaps what was more captivating about her now was her extraordinary beauty, evident in the constant glances directed at her by the young disciples from various sects.
"Master Ye, is there anything I can do for you today?" Hua Yufeng's gentle voice rang out, as soothing as a spring breeze.
"Second Miss Hua, as far as I know, the Demon Palace is about to launch an attack on us. Therefore, I think we should discuss countermeasures."
"No need to discuss. The Demon Palace will naturally be dealt with by our Divine Palace." A sweet voice rang out, and several figures suddenly appeared in the hall.
Among them was a young woman in white palace attire. If Hua Ruoxu were here, he would certainly recognize her as the Palace Master of the Divine Palace he had met that day. On either side of her were the two old men, but the three people following behind her were even more unforgettable to Hua Ruoxu.
Jiang Qingyue, dressed in black, had removed her veil, revealing her beautiful face to everyone. Xue Youyou remained in emerald green, while Hua Feimeng wore a yellow dress.
"Sister?" Hua Feihua suddenly stood up and flashed to Hua Feimeng's side, but his gaze was immediately drawn to Jiang Qingyue. "You, you are Qingyue?" Although he had never seen her true face, he recognized her figure immediately.
"Hua'er, come back!" Hua Cuo shouted in a deep voice.
"I, the Palace Mistress, am here. Aren't you all coming forward to pay your respects?" Jiang Qingyue's cold voice rang out, startling most people, but the sect leaders understood the meaning behind her words.
"What's wrong? Have you all forgotten your promises? Once the Divine Palace appears in the martial world, all sects must pay homage with the respect due to subordinates!" The cold voice of the girl in palace attire reached everyone's ears. "I think I should tell you that I am Gong Yaqian, the fourth Palace Master of the Divine Palace. If you still remember your promises, you should know what to do, right?" Gong Yaqian's tone was aggressive.
"Palace Master, although I am not a member of the Seven Sects and Four Families, I would like to speak up for them. The promises made back then were only agreed to under pressure from your Palace. Now, it seems a bit too much for you to use this promise to demand things from your sect leaders." The sect leaders remained silent, none of them willing to be the first to speak out. At this moment, Ye Bu'er's uncle interjected. He had to speak up; if he didn't, he worried that the sect leaders would once again submit to the pressure of the Divine Palace.
"Oh, so now you all have the power to no longer be my vassals?" Gong Yaqian said with a faint smile.
"It's wrong of the Palace Master to force us like this. It's understandable that the various sects want to break free from the control of the Divine Palace. I only hope that the Palace Master can consider the bigger picture and not act rashly." Ye Wuying sighed slightly and continued.
"This sister must be Ye Wuying, the esteemed disciple of the South Sea Divine Nun, right?" Gong Yaqian smiled sweetly, making the world pale in comparison. "Sister Ye is right. We really shouldn't act rashly. My Divine Palace has never been particularly interested in demanding your obedience. It's only been for the purpose of dealing with the Demon Palace. Now that you all feel you have enough strength to deal with the Demon Palace, my Divine Palace will no longer interfere. From today onwards, my Divine Palace will have no further dealings with you. Take care." "
This, Palace Master, please wait a moment." Master Yuanguang of Shaolin suddenly spoke up.
"Does Master have any further instructions?" Gong Yaqian smiled slightly.
“Palace Master, in my humble opinion, why don’t we cooperate to deal with the Demon Palace?” Master Yuanguang said after a slight hesitation, ignoring the murderous glares directed at him by the other sect leaders.
"I appreciate your kindness, Master, but my Divine Palace and the Demon Palace have no major grudges, and the Divine Palace has no intention of being enemies with the Demon Palace. Please take care of yourselves." Gong Yaqian said with a faint smile, turning to leave slowly. But she stopped after only two steps because someone blocked her way.
Hua Ruoxu looked at the people before him, utterly unable to believe his eyes.
"Sister Qing, what are you doing here? And how did you end up with her? Meng'er, Youyou, you... could it be that you..." Hua Ruoxu's astonishment was indescribable, and he spoke incoherently, haltingly.
"Hua Lang, are you alright?" Jiang Qingyue asked softly.
"Sister Qing, I'm fine. What brings you here?" Hua Ruoxu again ignored everyone else.
"I..." Jiang Qingyue was about to say something when she was interrupted.
"Sister Yue, we should go!" Gong Yaqian glanced at Jiang Qingyue and said softly. Jiang Qingyue's expression changed slightly, she nodded, and lowered her head, no longer looking at Hua Ruoxu.
"Young Master Hua, if you have time, please visit our palace. I believe the Sword Envoy will be very happy to welcome you," Gong Yaqian said to Hua Ruoxu after glancing at Jiang Qingyue.
Watching Jiang Qingyue and the other two women slowly walk out of the hall behind Gong Yaqian, Hua Ruoxu almost wanted to stop them, but reason prevailed. He knew he couldn't keep them there, especially with Hua Yuluan still by his side.
Watching them leave, Hua Ruoxu felt a bitter pang and a sense of bewilderment. Although he already knew Xue Youyou was from the Divine Palace, he never imagined that Jiang Qingyue and Hua Feimeng were also members.


(Volume 5, Chapter 8, Encounter with Qingyue (Part 2))


After the Divine Palace group left, the council hall was silent. The expressions on the faces of the various sect leaders varied. Some were joyful, most wore this expression, some were annoyed, like Master Yuanguang of Shaolin, and others showed no emotion whatsoever. Ouyang Jianping, the leader of the Snow Mountain Sword Sect, remained completely expressionless.
The disciples from each sect looked more confused, asking their sect leaders with questioning eyes, and later even looking at Hua Yufeng, as if hoping she could give them an answer.
"Master Ye, and all the seniors, I think there's no need to hide this from our disciples anymore," Hua Yufeng's gentle voice rang out. She slowly glanced at the leaders of each sect, then looked at the disciples beside her, letting out a soft sigh. "Now that things have come to this, I think it's time to explain to all of you martial arts practitioners."
"Miss Hua, I think it's best not to say anything, lest it disrupt the order of the disciples," Ye Bu'er said in a deep voice. "Moreover, this is a disgrace to our sects. If it's publicized, our righteous reputation will be severely damaged."
"As disciples, we should share the honor and disgrace of our sects. Of course, if Master Ye and the other leaders feel it's inappropriate to publicize this, then I won't insist," Hua Yufeng's voice remained gentle, yet contained a hint of helplessness. A sense of pity arose in everyone, as if they felt she had suffered a great injustice.
“Since Fairy Hua is our alliance leader, and this position was personally elected by the sect leaders and Master Ye, it means that Fairy Hua can represent our Seven Sects and Four Families Alliance. Fairy Hua can certainly decide on the affairs of the Seven Sects and Four Families Alliance. Therefore, I believe that since Fairy Hua feels she should tell us ordinary disciples the inside story, Master Ye shouldn't stop her.” A soft voice rang out; it was Hua Feihua who spoke.
“That’s right. We need to know what the relationship is between the Divine Palace and us, and whether what the Palace Master of the Divine Palace said earlier is true.” Someone else in the crowd chimed in, and voices of agreement followed one after another.
Hua Yufeng revealed a faint smile. She knew she had taken the first step and was gradually gaining the support of ordinary disciples from various sects.
“Does Master Ye have any further opinions?” Hua Yufeng looked at Ye Bu'er and smiled slightly.
“Since Miss Hua is the alliance leader, it is naturally up to you to decide. I am merely making a suggestion; Miss Hua need not adopt it.” Although Ye Bu'er was very unwilling and dissatisfied, he had no choice.
With Hua Yufeng's gentle words, the truth about the relationship between the Divine Palace and the various sects was finally revealed.
"Actually, I think we shouldn't blame the sect leaders here, because they were only thinking of the bigger picture, for the sake of the righteous path of martial arts being passed down. Compared to you all, the sect leaders have borne more responsibility and grievances." Finally, Hua Yufeng sighed softly, "Now that we've broken away from the Divine Palace, the Demon Palace is already eyeing us covetously. We should unite as one to resist the external enemy, and not let this matter cause any resentment."
A thunderous cheer erupted, with some shouting support for Hua Yufeng. Ye Bu'er's face turned ashen, and the other sect leaders also looked rather grim. Master Yuanguang,
however, seemed to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, his expression softening considerably. Hua Ruoxu coldly observed the almost fanatical martial artists, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart. Hua Yufeng's words weren't particularly persuasive, yet almost everyone instantly became her supporter; this seemed somewhat abnormal.
"Hua Yuluan of Mount Hua greets all the seniors and fellow martial artists here!" Hua Yuluan suddenly spoke up, causing Hua Ruoxu to be slightly taken aback, as he rarely saw Hua Yuluan so polite.
"Miss Hua has come here today, presumably to lend a hand to your younger sister," Master Yuanguang interjected.
Hua Yuluan was also surprised; she had expected to have to do some persuasion, but now that Master Yuanguang had spoken up, things were much easier for her.
"Master is absolutely right. I am a little worried about my sister being all alone, so my husband and I have come to help her," Hua Yuluan said with a slight smile. The usually aloof beauty suddenly smiled, making her even more beautiful and charming.
"Miss Hua is willing to contribute to our Seven Sects and Four Families Alliance, which we naturally welcome. However, it is probably not appropriate for your husband, Hua Ruoxu, to be here. As everyone knows, he is entangled with Su Daier of the Demon Palace, and as everyone just saw, the young ladies beside the Palace Master of the Divine Palace also have close relationships with him," Ye Bu'er's cold voice rang out.
"Excuse me, Mr. Ye, shouldn't our Hua family also withdraw? My sister is one of the envoys of the Divine Palace." Hua Feihua lazily chimed in, leaving Ye Bu'er speechless.
*** *** ***
Hua Yufeng sat quietly in her palace. Now she truly resembled an alliance leader, for no one openly objected to her words. However, she wasn't entirely at peace, as she hadn't intended to use this method to gain support, but it was now the most effective one.
Meanwhile, in a secret room, the usually aloof Ye Bu'er stood respectfully behind a tall man in black, his expression extremely deferential.
"Hua Yufeng is known as the Gentle Fairy, and almost every underworld figure finds her troublesome. Do you think it's truly because of her innate charm?" the man in black said coldly. "When I learned you had made her the alliance leader, I sensed something was amiss. I didn't expect it to become a reality now. She will hold all power in her hands, and you are merely a stepping stone for her."
"This subordinate doesn't quite understand. Where exactly did I go wrong?" Ye Bu'er said, bowing his head.
"It's not just you who's wrong, I was wrong too. I underestimated Hua Yufeng. However, I'm now basically certain of my guess." The man in black pondered for a moment. "Her charm isn't innate, but actually a kind of seductive art. This skill has been lost for many years, and I never expected it to reappear in her."
"Then what should I do?" Ye Bu'er's face clearly showed a look of horror.
"Go ahead and try to take advantage of your precious daughter!" The man in black coldly snorted, his body flashing and disappearing instantly. Ye Bu'er slowly straightened up, his eyes gradually turning cold.
*** *** ***
Hua Yufeng held a list in her hand, densely covered with names. She crossed out each name one by one until only a few remained.


Volume 5, Chapter 9, The Difficulty of Passion


Hua Yufeng heard soft footsteps behind her, and her heart skipped a beat, for she knew who it was.
Her slender waist tightened slightly as two hands embraced her from behind.
"Go back quickly, or your sister will find out," Hua Yufeng said softly without turning around, feeling a mix of shyness, joy, and worry.
"Senior sister is asleep; she won't know," Hua Ruoxu said, pulling her up and sitting in the spot she had just been sitting in.
Hua Yufeng sighed helplessly, letting him hold her. She thought of how he had never shown her any affection before, but now he often secretly made advances. She didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed.
"Second Senior Sister, what is this?" Hua Ruoxu asked, looking at the list in her hand with some confusion.
“This is a list of all the disciples from the Seven Sects and Four Families Alliance here. I want to find a few reliable people who can help me,” Hua Yufeng said softly.
“Have you found any?” Hua Ruoxu asked.
“I’ve found a few, but I haven’t decided yet,” Hua Yufeng said after thinking for a moment.
“Today, weren’t almost all the disciples supporting you? How come you’ve only found a few?” Hua Ruoxu asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Those are only temporary,” Hua Yufeng sighed softly.
“Why only temporary? Don’t they truly support you? But their behavior doesn’t seem fake.” Hua Ruoxu’s heart skipped a beat; the questions from earlier that day resurfaced in her mind.
Hua Yufeng suddenly turned her head, staring intently into Hua Ruoxu’s eyes. Hua Ruoxu met her gaze for a moment, then lowered her head, feeling slightly guilty.
“You’ve already doubted me; it seems many others will doubt me today.” Hua Yufeng turned her head away again, sighing softly, her tone tinged with melancholy.
"Second Senior Sister, I... I was just a little curious." Hua Ruoxu regretted her words, worried that Hua Yufeng might get angry.
"It's alright, I won't blame you for suspecting me." Hua Yufeng shook her head, her tone unusually gentle. "Help me take a look at these people. There are a few you should recognize."
Hua Ruoxu was already grateful that Hua Yufeng wasn't angry. Although Hua Yufeng still hadn't revealed the real reason, she didn't dare ask any further and focused on looking at the names on the list that hadn't been crossed out.
Fang Xia, Hua Feihua—Hua Ruoxu did recognize a few of them. She hadn't heard of a few of the names in between, but then she saw a familiar name, which made her heart flutter with excitement.
"Second Senior Sister, is this Nangong Feiyun from the Nangong family of Chang'an?" Hua Ruoxu's voice was somewhat out of control.
"Yes, you've seen him? I've observed him a bit, and he seems alright, but I can't be too sure yet. Although he's not from the Seven Sects and Four Families alliance, there are many other smaller sects within it, so where he comes from isn't important." Hua Yufeng looked at Hua Ruoxu, somewhat surprised.
"Second Senior Sister, could you tell me where he lives?" Hua Ruoxu took a breath, trying to calm herself down.
"It's so late, don't go looking for him. I'll tell you tomorrow." Hua Yufeng hesitated for a moment before saying. Although Hua Ruoxu was anxious, she knew Hua Yufeng was right. Going to see someone she wasn't very familiar with in the middle of the night could easily cause misunderstandings.
"Second Senior Sister, it's getting late, you should rest too." Hua Ruoxu said, gently standing up, picking up Hua Yufeng and walking to the bedside, gently placing her on the bed.
"You, you can't stay." Hua Yufeng felt shy, afraid that Hua Ruoxu wouldn't want to leave.
Hua Ruoxu was slightly taken aback. He hadn't originally intended to stay; in fact, he didn't dare, as Hua Yuluan was next door and could wake up at any moment.
But seeing Hua Yufeng's shy expression, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He slowly bent down and kissed her cherry lips, gently sucking on them for a long while before reluctantly getting up and returning to his room.
Seeing Hua Yuluan still fast asleep, Hua Ruoxu breathed a slight sigh of relief, gently slipped into the covers, and hugged Hua Yuluan again, closing his eyes slightly. Jiang Xiaoyue's beautiful face appeared in his mind.
*** *** ***
Just after Hua Ruoxu left, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in Hua Yufeng's room. Hua Yufeng also suddenly sat up in bed, gently waving her hand to stop the shadow from kneeling down.
A moment later, in another secret room...
"My lord, a masked man in black just came out of Hua Yufeng's room, but I lost track of him when I chased after him."
"Useless!" A resounding slap echoed. "Continue the surveillance. If this happens again, hmph!"
*** *** ***
Hua Ruoxu walked slowly through the Ye family's backyard. Beyond this garden lay Nangong Feiyun's residence. Although Nangong Feiyun came from the Nangong family, the family had long since declined, and he wasn't a disciple of the Seven Sects and Four Families. Therefore, he could only live in the makeshift courtyard at the back. Not only him, but everyone else of similar status lived in the same situation.
"Brother Hua, what an elegant place! Are you here to admire the flowers?" A clear voice rang out beside him.
"Brother Fang seems to be the one truly admiring the flowers. I'm just passing by, so I won't disturb the three of you," Hua Ruoxu said with a faint smile. Over there were Ye Wuying, Feng Guoyun, and Fang Xia.
"Young Master Hua, please don't mind my past misunderstandings about you," Ye Wuying said softly, looking at Hua Ruoxu with a complicated expression.
"Miss Ye, you're too kind. You're not the only one who misunderstood me. Besides, this matter ultimately stems from my own responsibility. Therefore, let's consider the past as the past," Hua Ruoxu said with a slight smile, a hint of melancholy
creeping into his eyes as he thought of Xue Youyou. "I'm truly pleased that Young Master Hua is so magnanimous," Ye Wuying said with a smile.
"Miss Ye, you're mistaken. I'm not magnanimous; I simply don't want to add any unnecessary trouble," Hua Ruoxu said with a faint smile.
Ye Wuying was slightly taken aback, smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and remained silent.
"If Miss Ye and Brother Fang have nothing else to discuss, I must take my leave," Hua Ruoxu said, unwilling to linger with Ye Wuying.
"So hasty? Are you going to meet some young lady again?" a cheerful voice called out, and Hua Ruoxu gave a wry smile.
"Brother Hua, you've come too." It turned out to be Hua Feihua.
"The only person who could make you abandon Miss Hua and run away alone is a beautiful woman." Hua Feihua showed no respect for Hua Ruoxu.
"Brother Hua, don't joke. I'm just going to see an old acquaintance." Hua Ruoxu was somewhat amused and exasperated; Hua Feihua always seemed determined to pick a fight with him.
"We're old acquaintances, so why didn't you come to me?" Hua Feihua remained cheerful, seemingly unconcerned about driving him crazy.
"How about I treat everyone to a drink?" Ye Wuying suddenly suggested.
"How can we refuse Fairy Ye's invitation?" Hua Feihua responded faster than anyone else.
Hua Ruoxu sighed inwardly, knowing there was no chance to find Nangong Feiyun now.
*** *** ***
Piaoxiang Restaurant.
There was actually more than one Piaoxiang Restaurant, but the earliest one was in Xiangyang. Piaoxiang Restaurant was famous largely because of the wine of the Fairy of Piaoxiang, and it was actually a property of Piaoxue Manor.
The four great families had businesses in various places, so although their homes were destroyed by the Demon Palace not long ago, the Demon Palace did not attack other places. Therefore, although the four great families suffered many casualties, they did not suffer fatal financial losses.
At Piaoxiang Restaurant, four men and one woman, each with an elegant demeanor, sat at a table.
Hua Feihua eloquently introduced the origins of Piaoxiang Restaurant, feeling a sense of satisfaction seeing Hua Ruoxu's bitter expression.
Feng Guoyun was clearly too proud of Hua Ruoxu, not saying a word to him from beginning to end, not even glancing at him properly. Of course, Hua Ruoxu also had no good feelings towards him.
A girl in black hurried upstairs and immediately spotted Hua Ruoxu.
"Young Master, Miss is anxious to see you," the girl
said, her face full of worry. Hua Ruoxu inwardly groaned. Su Dai'er had sent Liu Yun to find him at this crucial moment.
"Liu Yun, tell your young lady I have something to attend to and can't go," Hua Ruoxu hesitated for a moment, then refused. Going to see Su Dai'er now would obviously give others plenty of ammunition.

"Miss is ill. If you had any conscience, you'd know what to do.
She's still at the place where you last met," Liu Yun said angrily, then turned and ran downstairs. Hua Ruoxu hesitated, unsure of Liu Yun's words. He didn't quite believe Su Dai'er was really sick, but what if she was? Should he go or not? He truly couldn't decide.
"Speaking of which, you're practically my brother-in-law. I still advise you not to get too close to her," Hua Feihua sighed.
"Brother Hua, Miss Ye, Brother Fang, please excuse me." Hua Ruoxu finally decided to go. He figured his relationship with Su Daier had already given others plenty of reason to gossip, so a little more wouldn't matter. If Su Daier was truly ill, and he knew but didn't visit her, he might not be able to forgive himself.
"I don't know whether to envy you or pity you." Watching Hua Ruoxu's retreating figure, Hua Feihua sighed softly.
"Brother Hua, who is Brother Hua going to see?" Fang Xia was still somewhat confused, as he didn't know Liu Yun.
"Of course, beauties! Let me tell you, of the hundred people he meets, at least ninety-nine are beauties." Hua Feihua's tone seemed somewhat envious.
"There are so many beauties, you should at least tell me which one it is!" Fang Xia persisted.
"When did you become interested in beauties?" Hua Feihua looked at Fang Xia with surprise.
"Why can't I be interested in beauties?" Fang Xia said irritably.
"That's right, otherwise you wouldn't be following Fairy Ye around." Hua Feihua nodded, looking enlightened.
"Brother Hua, you've said so much, but you still haven't told me who Brother Hua went to see?" Fang Xia was exasperated with Hua Feihua.
"Oh, that? I can't say. I can't betray my friends." Hua Feihua said seriously.
"Are Brother Hua and Hua Ruoxu friends?" Feng Guoyun, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly interjected.
"That's a question I really need to think about." Hua Feihua looked puzzled. "Speaking of which, Hua Ruoxu is really a scoundrel. I considered him a friend back then. As the saying goes, 'One should not covet a friend's wife,' but this guy stole my wife. He's really not a good friend!" "Hey
, when did you have a wife?" Fang Xia couldn't help but ask.
"She's my future wife. If it weren't for Hua Ruoxu, she would be mine. Think about it, my reputation as a charming playboy isn't for nothing. If I set my sights on someone, do you think I can't win them over? Who knew that guy would beat me to it? He's practically my wife-stealer!" Hua Feihua looked like he was seething with hatred, but Ye Wuying couldn't help but chuckle, because it was obvious Hua Feihua was faking it.
"See? Brother Fang, have you ever seen Fairy Ye smile so happily? See how amazing I am? My reputation isn't just for show." Hua Feihua started boasting, then suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Feng, why do you look so pale?"
"Fairy Ye, I must excuse myself." Feng Guoyun's face was ashen as he hurriedly left the banquet.
"Ah, oh dear, I forgot his wife was also stolen by that bastard Hua Ruoxu." Hua Feihua slapped his forehead, looking regretful.
“Young Master Hua, in my opinion, you not only haven’t forgotten, but you’re probably saying it on purpose for Young Master Feng to hear,” Ye Wuying said with a slight smile.
“Fairy Ye is truly clever. Alas, I just wanted to tell him that I’m actually in a worse situation than him. I don’t even have much hatred for Hua Ruoxu, so why should he keep dwelling on it?” Hua Feihua sighed, though it was unclear whether what she said was true or not.
“The word ‘love’ truly destroys people deeply,” Fang Xia sighed softly. “However, some things really can’t be forced.” As he spoke, a hint of melancholy appeared in his eyes, a touch of sadness in them.
“Brother Fang seems to have something sad about him too?” Hua Feihua asked, slightly taken aback.
“Not at all, Brother Hua misunderstands.” Fang Xia’s body trembled slightly, and he forced a smile. “With a formidable enemy at hand, matters of the heart should really be put aside for now.”
“I’m afraid that some people will let love ruin their lives,” Ye Wuying sighed softly, a ripple of emotion stirring within her: What exactly is love? Why do so many people suffer because of it? Upon seeing
Su
Dai'er, Hua Ruoxu knew he had been tricked by Liu Yun.
"Brother Ruoxu, you really came!" Su Dai'er looked at Hua Ruoxu with delight, smiling sweetly.




Volume 5, Chapter 10: Bewitched by Dai'er .


"Dai'er, Liu Yun said you were sick, so I came to see you," Hua Ruoxu sighed softly.
"Yes, I am sick," Su Dai'er said sweetly. "Brother Ruoxu, do you know what illness Dai'er has?" As she spoke, Su Dai'er's bright eyes stared intently at Hua Ruoxu.
"Dai'er, aren't you perfectly fine? Don't make up stories about being sick," Hua Ruoxu said softly, somewhat hesitant to look her in the eye, turning his head slightly away.
"I missed you." Su Dai'er said, throwing her soft, delicate body into Hua Ruoxu's arms, her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest, her voice filled with resentment, "Brother Ruoxu, I'm so bored when you're not here, I miss you so much."
"Dai'er, don't you still have Liuyun and Feixu to keep you company?" Hua Ruoxu sighed softly, "Besides, you have a lot to do." Hua Ruoxu didn't know what to feel. Although Su Dai'er always acted like a spoiled little girl, he knew very well that as soon as he left, she might become a completely different person, not for any other reason than that she was the Palace Master of the Demon Palace.
"Brother Ruoxu, I want you to stay with me every day, okay?" Su Dai'er whispered softly in his ear.
Hua Ruoxu's heart skipped a beat, but he remained silent, because he knew he couldn't agree to her request, and perhaps she knew it too.
"Dai'er, since you're alright, I think I should go back." Hua Ruoxu hesitated for a moment, then steeled himself and pushed her away, turning to leave, because he didn't know how long his rationality could last.
"Brother Ruoxu, do you hate me that much?" Su Dai'er's soft voice came from behind him. Hua Ruoxu finally couldn't help but turn around and look at her. He saw tears welling up in her beautiful eyes, as if she were about to burst.
A feeling of tenderness welled up in Hua Ruoxu's heart. He couldn't help but retract his foot that had already stepped out the door. He gently returned to Su Dai'er's side and put his arm around her slender waist.
"Brother Ruoxu," Su Dai'er called softly, tilting her pink face up and gently pursing her alluring red lips. Hua Ruoxu slowly lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers.
Time flew by as their lips and tongues intertwined. The contact and friction of their bodies caused both of them to heat up rapidly. Su Dai'er's body became softer and hotter. Hua Ruoxu's hands began to slowly roam over her body, gently caressing her. The amazing elasticity of her skin brought wonderful sensations, and the passion in his heart began to spread.
His burning desire had made him forget all barriers; reason had been cast aside. Hua Ruoxu embraced Su Dai'er's delicate body, continuing to fiercely suckle her sweet fragrance as he slowly moved her towards the bed. Su Dai'er's beautiful eyes were brimming with desire, her gaze hazy, her pretty face flushed, making her exquisitely beautiful.
"Miss." A knock came from outside, followed by Liu Yun's soft, coquettish call.
Suddenly, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, Hua Ruoxu snapped back to reality, releasing Su Dai'er's lips and setting her down.
"Liu Yun, didn't I say I wouldn't see anyone?" Su Dai'er's angry voice rang out, her already blushing face turning even redder with anger, but her usually gentle eyes now shone with a cold light.
"Miss, the Grand Elder insists on coming in, I... I couldn't stop him." Liu Yun's voice was full of grievance.
"Your subordinate greets the Palace Master." The door opened at that moment, and Nangong Xuanyuan's voice rang out at the same time, his eyes shooting towards Hua Ruoxu like two beams of cold lightning.
"Step back!" Su Daier said coldly.
"Palace Master, your subordinate has urgent matters to report!" Nangong Xuanyuan did not want to leave just like that.
"I said step back!" Su Daier waved her slender hand, smashing the tea table next to her into powder!
"Hua Ruoxu, if you continue to pester the Palace Master, don't blame me for being impolite! Even if I can't kill you, I can kill your lovers!" Nangong Xuanyuan said coldly to Hua Ruoxu, his face ashen, and with a fierce flick of his hand, he finally turned and left.
"If there is a next time, you don't need to follow me anymore!" Su Daier said coldly to Liuyun, whose face changed drastically, and he nodded in a panic, retreating out, leaving only Su Daier and Hua Ruoxu in the room.

"Brother Ruoxu, don't worry, no one will dare to disturb us anymore." Su Dai'er smiled sweetly at Hua Ruoxu, her cold and stern expression vanishing instantly.
"Dai'er, it's getting late, I think I really should go." Hua Ruoxu said softly, his heart filled with mixed feelings. Today was the first time he had witnessed Su Dai'er as the Lord of the Demon Palace. Although he had suspected it before, today was the first time he had truly seen it.
"Brother Ruoxu, are you upset that they disturbed us? Don't worry, it won't happen again. As long as you're here, no one will bother us." Su Dai'er said softly.
"Dai'er, I really should go back, otherwise, my senior sister will worry about me." Hua Ruoxu gently embraced her and whispered, "I'll come to see you again next time."
*** *** ***
Hua Ruoxu finally left Su Dai'er's boudoir.
"Hua Ruoxu, I'm warning you, if you don't leave Dai'er soon, I will keep my word. Let's see how capable you are of taking care of all your good lovers!" Just as he stepped out the door, Nangong Xuanyuan's voice reached his ears again. Hua Ruoxu couldn't help but shiver slightly; he knew that Nangong Xuanyuan meant what he said.
Su Dai'er's face slowly grew colder and colder.
"Liuyun." Su Dai'er called softly, her voice seemingly gentle.
"Miss!" Liuyun felt a little frightened, because she had never seen her so angry with her before.
"Do you think Brother Ruoxu likes me?" Su Dai'er asked softly.
"Miss, the young master came immediately as soon as he heard you were ill. He was very worried about you, and he must like you very much too," Liuyun quickly said.
"If he likes me, why does he never come to see me on his own initiative?" Su Dai'er murmured.
"Miss, this servant doesn't know," Liuyun said timidly, her head lowered.
"Don't you know? If you don't know, why don't you ask him?" Su Dai'er suddenly roared. "From now on, you don't need to follow me anymore. If you still want to come back, then follow him. You can come back when he marries me!"
"Miss, no! I've followed you since I was little! Please don't send me away!" Liu Yun was terrified and knelt down on the ground with a thud, pleading pitifully.
"What? Do you think Brother Ruoxu won't marry me?" Su Dai'er said coldly.
"No, Miss, the young master will definitely marry you, but Miss, please don't send me away!" Liu Yun sobbed softly. "
Make your request, then go and beg Brother Ruoxu. As for whether he takes you in or not, that's up to you." Su Dai'er said calmly, and with a gentle wave of her slender hand, Liu Yun's body flew up and landed lightly outside the door, which closed simultaneously.
Liu Yun lay on the ground, tears welling up but unable to fall. Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had been Su Dai'er's maid. Su Dai'er had always treated her and Fei Xu very well, like sisters. She had never imagined that Su Dai'er would actually drive her away. She slowly got up, wiped away her tears of grievance, and walked outside. She knew that only one person could help her now, or rather, save her: Hua Ruoxu.
*** *** ***
Hua Ruoxu's heart was heavy, filled with an indescribable sense of unease. He couldn't ignore Nangong Xuanyuan's threat, but could he refuse Su Dai'er? Even if he could resist actively seeking her out, he knew he couldn't refuse her if she came to see him.
Hua Ruoxu wandered aimlessly through the city, suddenly realizing he had unintentionally arrived at Hua Tianxing's residence. It seemed that subconsciously, he hoped to confide his troubles to Hua Tianxing.
Hua Tianxing remained unchanged, still dressed as a fairy in white. Seeing Hua Ruoxu enter, she smiled sweetly at him.
"Sister," Hua Ruoxu called softly, sitting down beside her.
"Hehe, you lecherous little brother, which girl did you see again? You smell so good," Hua Tianxing said with a grin, her beautiful eyes scanning him up and down, as if trying to find some clue.
"Sister, I..." Hua Ruoxu sighed softly, pouring out his worries, Nangong Xuanyuan's threats, and his anxieties, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube. Hua Tianxing listened attentively with a slight smile, a loyal listener to Hua Ruoxu.
"Little brother, you're so silly! You could just kill that Nangong Xuanyuan, then you wouldn't have to worry anymore!" Hua Tianxing said casually after hearing his words. Hua Ruoxu was slightly taken aback. Putting aside whether he could actually kill Nangong Xuanyuan, Hua Tianxing's tone made it seem like killing someone was no big deal.
"Sister, Nangong Xuanyuan's martial arts are very high; I'm no match for him," Hua Ruoxu said with a wry smile.
"Really? Is there anyone more skilled than you, little brother? Hmm, let me think." Hua Tianxing looked surprised, tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then said to Hua Ruoxu, "I know! It must be because you've been lazy and haven't practiced your martial arts properly!"
Hua Ruoxu smiled awkwardly. He hadn't really put in much effort, but the martial arts Hua Tianxing taught him were always in use, so it didn't seem to require special effort.
"By the way, sister, why do I often feel like I've run out of energy?" Hua Ruoxu finally remembered this question and asked with some doubt.
"Really? Impossible." Hua Tianxing still looked unconvinced and grabbed his hand. "Let sister see if you've done too many bad things."
Hua Ruoxu was both amused and exasperated, but he could only let Hua Tianxing manipulate his hand, examining it from all angles.
"Little brother, your palm is quite good! Sister just learned how to read palms." Hua Tianxing suddenly blurted out this, leaving Hua Ruoxu completely speechless.
"Oh, little brother, I know! When I taught you martial arts, I treated you like a girl. Now I realize that boys and girls are a little different. Don't worry, sister will help you change the formula." Hua Tianxing said after a while, looking enlightened.
"Sister, is it true?" Hua Ruoxu didn't know if she was telling the truth or not.
"Of course it's true! How could I, your sister, lie to you?" Hua Tianxing gave Hua Ruoxu a charming eye roll.

By the time they returned to the Ye family, it was already evening. Hua Tianxing, whether she made it up or genuinely came up with it, told Hua Ruoxu some kind of incantation and told him to practice it. By the time he finished, two hours had passed.
Seeing that it was already dark outside, Hua Ruoxu naturally hurried back, already worrying about how to explain things to Hua Yuluan.
Hua Ruoxu was unaware that another problem was waiting for him.
As soon as he stepped into the Ye family, someone recognized Hua Ruoxu.
"Young Master Hua, the Alliance Leader is waiting for you in the council hall!" Now, most of the disciples in the alliance were quite polite to Hua Ruoxu because they could all see that Hua Yufeng was very protective of her sister and brother-in-law. Of course, they didn't know that Hua Ruoxu and Hua Yufeng had an even closer relationship.
Hua Ruoxu arrived at the council hall with a suspicious look. His intuition told him that the person actually looking for him wasn't Hua Yufeng, because even if Hua Yufeng wanted to find him, she wouldn't have let him into the council hall.
"Young Master!" A mournful voice rang out from a corner. Ruoxu was startled and looked over. Sure enough, he saw Liuyun sitting on the ground, her hair disheveled, her clothes slightly rumpled, and tears streaming down her face.
"Liuyun, what happened to you? How did you get here, and in this state?" Hua Ruoxu asked anxiously, quickly walking to her side and bending down to help her up.
"Junior Brother, are you really the Young Master she spoke of?" Hua Yufeng sighed softly.
"Second Senior Sister, that's what Liuyun calls me." Hua Ruoxu felt a sense of helplessness; it seemed that many more people would come to cause him trouble because of Liuyun's identity.
"Young Master Hua, as many people know, this Miss Liuyun is the personal maid of Su Dai'er, the Palace Master of the Demon Palace. She calls Su Dai'er 'Miss,' and you, Young Master Hua, are her 'Young Master.' So, does this mean you and Su Dai'er are family?" Ye Bu'er's sarcastic voice interrupted.
"Everyone knows I grew up on Mount Hua. Isn't Mr. Ye making baseless accusations?" Hua Ruoxu said calmly. "Su Dai'er and I are just ordinary friends. Liuyun calling me 'Young Master' is just being polite. Does Mr. Ye see anything wrong with that?"
"Since Young Master Hua says so, that's for the best. However, this Miss Liuyun came here to provoke us and injured several disciples of our alliance. I think we should punish her appropriately to give our disciples justice. Young Master Hua won't object, will he?" Ye Bu'er said with a faint smile.
"Young master, Miss kicked me out. She said she didn't want me anymore. I came to find you, but they wouldn't let me in, so I injured them. You must save me!" Liu Yun's eyes were brimming with tears, giving off a pitiful feeling.
