With that said, a hint of imperceptible disappointnt flashed in her eyes. Her actions just now had been abrupt, but Wen Zhixing’s reaction, though it seed like he was deliberately putting on an act, made his attitude quite clear: Wen Zhixing didn’t want an overly close relationship with her.
Originally, Liu Qingdai had thought that as long as Wen Zhixing showed a hint of pleasure, she could take the opportunity to overtly manage his private life. Whether he could "maintain his purity" was one thing; at the very least, he should not betray Bai Luqiu.
But now... She felt a bit disheartened. Was she being a bit too presumptuous?
"PAH."
Just then, Bai Luqiu, who could not stand it any longer, flashed in front of Wen Zhixing. She reached out with her slender white hands and pinched Wen Zhixing’s soft flesh fiercely.
She really couldn’t listen anymore. Showing off, are we? A lone wolf, is that it? Dedicated to the path, huh? Avoids won, does he? Dodges them like tigers, right?
"HISS..."
Wen Zhixing couldn’t dodge in ti, and a sharp pain struck him, making him involuntarily curl up. His previously showy deanor vanished in an instant. Ouch, ouch, ouch! It hurt more than taking a few slashes.
"Still pretending?" Bai Luqiu raised her delicate eyebrows and huffed.
"I wasn’t pretending..." Wen Zhixing protested his innocence. He was speaking from the heart. That’s just the kind of person he was!
"Hm?" Bai Luqiu applied more force, her hand grasping the soft flesh and beginning to twist it hard.
"HISS... No... I’m not pretending... I was just kidding... My dear senior sister, please let go." Wen Zhixing clenched his teeth and raised his hands. I surrender.
"Hmph... I... I’m not your dear senior sister..." Hearing Wen Zhixing’s suggestive words, Bai Luqiu’s pretty face blushed. Her hand no longer exerted force, but she said sternly, "In the future, will you still get close to won?"
"I... can." Wen Zhixing nodded, imdiately submitting to Bai Luqiu’s dominance.
"PAH! As if you haven’t been close enough already?" Bai Luqiu gave Wen Zhixing a cold look; he was still putting on an act.
Liu Qingdai was sowhat stunned. Luqiu is so fierce.
"Can Qingdai like you?" Bai Luqiu asked Wen Zhixing.
"Luqiu, it’s not about whether she can or cannot." Wen Zhixing frowned upon hearing this, glanced at Liu Qingdai, then subtly shook his head. "I don’t think of myself as a good man; I really don’t dare to hold back Qingdai."
Liu Qingdai’s heart tightened. So, this was what Wen Zhixing truly thought?
"Oh, so you’re not afraid of holding back?" Bai Luqiu seed sowhat displeased.
"..." Wen Zhixing was put on the spot again. He then glanced at Bai Luqiu and muttered, "Who... knew you were also... a virgin..."
If he had known Bai Luqiu was so committed to her purity, he would have given it so thought. After all, this was no small matter.
For a promiscuous demoness, nothing more needed to be said. Wen Zhixing was unfazed by anyone of that sort. He could even show affection one second and deliver a killing blow the next. But for those who valued their purity, he wanted to take responsibility. He couldn’t help it; he was just that principled.
"Hmph..." Even though Wen Zhixing muttered softly, Bai Luqiu heard every word clearly, leaving her feeling quite shy. Actually, if she hadn’t taken the initiative to speak up, Wen Zhixing might indeed not have made a move on her.
"PFFT." At this mont, Liu Qingdai suddenly laughed again.
Wen Zhixing: What? What are you laughing at?
"Wen, what just happened was a little test, please don’t take it seriously," Liu Qingdai’s face bead with unrestrained joy as she said, "Now that I know your principles, I can rest assured and entrust Luqiu to you, right?"
"A test?" Wen Zhixing frowned. Do you take for a fool? Using the pretense of a test to speak your true feelings, huh. How could Wen Zhixing not know about Liu Qingdai’s affection for him? Even if Liu Qingdai had matured sowhat, she was still young. So things simply required more experience.
However, he didn’t call her out on it. It was better not to pierce that particular veil.
His Master was clearly a devoted father to his daughter. He had already sparred with Bai Luqiu. If he provoked Liu Qingdai as well, the consequences... It wasn’t that Liu Qingxuan would necessarily object to the matter, but in the future, if Wen Zhixing wanted to dally with other won, he had better be prepared to be dismbered into countless pieces.
"Qingdai?" Bai Luqiu’s brows furrowed slightly, as if she wanted to say sothing.
However, Liu Qingdai ignored her. Instead, she raised her little pink fist and shook it in front of Wen Zhixing, threatening, "Wen, in the future, you better not wrong Luqiu."
"I wouldn’t dare." Wen Zhixing quickly waved his hands and shook his head in assurance. He was famously a good man.
"Qingdai, what are you talking about?" Bai Luqiu tugged at Liu Qingdai’s arm, her expression a mix of shyness and nervousness. She had, in fact, been repeatedly avoiding bringing her relationship with Wen Zhixing into the open.
Yet Liu Qingdai’s eyes curved with delight, and she said, "I am as close to Luqiu as sisters are, so from now on, I’m your sister-in-law."
"Sister... sister-in-law?" Wen Zhixing and Bai Luqiu were both stunned. Huh? Is that how it works?
"Brother-in-law, in the future, if you dare to fool around outside, I will kill that woman!" The next mont, Liu Qingdai’s expression changed again, her tone turning chilling as she declared, "And then I will cut off your manhood!"
SNIP, SNIP! Out of nowhere, a large pair of golden scissors appeared in Liu Qingdai’s hands, opening and closing rapidly.
"Uh..." Wen Zhixing felt a chill run down his spine. As a man, that was his greatest fear. Luckily, luckily. His physical body was invincible, capable of regenerating limbs. Regrowing his third leg wouldn’t be a problem.
"Alright, Qingdai..." Bai Luqiu hurriedly held Liu Qingdai’s hand. She knew well that intimidation wasn’t the way with n; most responded to softness, not harshness. A man might tolerate it for a while, but not for a lifeti. Sooner or later, he would seek solace in another’s gentleness. Liu Qingdai was still young and naturally wouldn’t understand this.
"Heh..." Wen Zhixing touched his nose and chuckled dryly. "Qingdai, how did Si Nanyan let you out?"
"I almost forgot the main issue." Liu Qingdai ca back to her senses as well. She had originally intended to tell Wen Zhixing about Si Nanyan’s plan, but the shock from their sparring session had muddled her, and she had actually forgotten about it.
"Qingdai, what’s going on?" Bai Luqiu asked with a serious voice.
"Luqiu, Si Nanyan released because she wants to impersonate her," Liu Qingdai said with a grave expression.
"Impersonate her?" Wen Zhixing and Bai Luqiu were taken aback. What did that an?
"It’s a long story, involving many things—my father, and... Mu Yunqing..." Liu Qingdai bit her lip, her expression turning somber. Mu Yunqing was, after all, her father’s direct disciple. Though he had been raised in a hands-off manner, he had always been dutiful, and he had never lacked for good things. And now, he had betrayed them. How could she bear it?
"Si Nanyan, Mu Yunqing..." Wen Zhixing and Bai Luqiu exchanged glances, a few ideas forming in their minds. What kind of trouble were these two planning to stir up now?
"Let’s go, we’ll talk inside." Wen Zhixing, regaining his composure, decisively pulled them both into the house. Since Liu Qingdai already knew so details, it was a good ti to discuss the matter thoroughly with her.
「anwhile,」
Not far outside the Wonderous Palace, three figures slowly erged in the shadow beneath a large tree. Needless to say, these three were Mu Yunqing, Shi Yan, and Xu An.
"Yun Qing, Wonderous Palace is right ahead. Should we launch a direct attack... or?" Shi Yan glanced at the cluster of buildings ahead, then turned to look at Mu Yunqing, who had clearly beco their leader.
"There’s no need to be so rash, Uncles," Mu Yunqing said, shaking his head. According to the plan he and Si Nanyan had concocted, they were to feign a direct attack and then kidnap her. But he didn’t want to proceed that way.
"Let’s sneak into Wonderous Palace together first," Mu Yunqing said, his eyes narrowing. The Sect Protection Array of the Wonderous Palace was extrely powerful, which made him uneasy. What if Si Nanyan also planned to double-cross him? It was better to go in and take a look first. Of course, if they could disable the Sect Protection Array beforehand, that would be ideal.
