2/6
----
The young man raised his hand to block with his sword, the sound echoing throughout the Liu family courtyard.
Nurous shadow guards rushed over but were shocked by the scene and dared not intervene without orders from the family head.
"You can insult all you want, but you dare insult the Liu family?"
"I may not be able to defeat Yino, but dealing with a defeated dog from the Lin family is more than enough!"
Ruoning gritted her teeth in anger, her hand holding the sword revealing blue veins.
The Lin family youth turned back, laughed coldly without showing any anger, and instead curled his brow with a satisfied smile.
But just as Ruoning was about to continue her attack to settle the score, from the corner of her eye she suddenly noticed a familiar nine-tailed white fox crouching on the tiled wall to the side of the courtyard.
"—?!"
[[Why are you looking at ? Keep fighting!] [Just to be clear, I'm not here to help you. I'm just following my master's orders to record the daily life of the Liu family's daughter...]
"Get out! You're not welco in the Liu family!"
With the arrow on the bowstring, this ti Ruoning forcibly suppressed her anger, snorted coldly, and put away her Sword.
All the onlookers were surprised, including the Lin family youth who had been prepared for a confrontation.
"Not fighting anymore?" Lin Ze wondered to himself, finding it strange.
The notoriously proud and arrogant Liu family daughter was actually swallowing her pride after such mockery, and she'd suddenly cald down just as a major confrontation was about to begin.
"Hmph, why should I fight you?" Ruoning folded her arms across her chest and beca surprisingly calm.
She snorted and puffed out her cheeks:
"You're a guest, so you're always right. Even if I beat you black and blue, my parents would still scold later tonight."
"Hah!"
The young man seed amused by her anger. As a fellow destined child, it was the first ti in his life he'd been mocked like this.
He laughed coldly, finding this girl sowhat interesting, and turned to point his sword toward the courtyard gate:
"If that's the case, Miss Ruoning, we can find an arena for a fair duel if you're not convinced."
"Just get lost! Stop trying to pick a fight with !"
"?"
"My fiancé told to behave and cultivate quietly after returning to Jiangnan, to avoid causing trouble. Otherwise, I would have made you kneel on the ground and crawl out of the Liu family estate today!"
By the end, Ruoning had her hands on her hips and was actually blushing with pride.
She wasn't angry anymore because she had soone who cared about her, while Lin Ze didn't. Why should soone in a relationship bother with a single dog who was just looking for attention everywhere?
Suddenly, the atmosphere beca rather strange.
Ruoning was in a great mood, while the Lin family young master at the door looked embarrassed.
"Wasn't your marriage contract with Yino canceled long ago..."
"Mind your own business! He promised he'd co back to Jiangnan to marry soon! I can't be bothered to argue with you. This young lady's heart already belongs to soone, so go back to your Lin family and continue looking for soone else to et!"
"Huh...?"
Lin Ze was left speechless by the insult, his face turning slightly green with anger.
Before coming, he'd imagined a thousand ways the conversation with Ruoning might go, but he never expected it to end with such a bizarre conclusion.
And yet, Lin Ze had nothing to say.
After all, this was Liu family territory, and the Liu family daughter had declared she had soone in her heart. What could Lin Ze do but leave?
Now, Lin Ze swallowing his pride could be attributed to Ruoning being a poor host.
But if Lin Ze continued to make trouble, he would be seen as having bad character and bullying a woman.
"Fine then, this young master doesn't care to argue with a little girl! We'll et again, and I hope to have the opportunity to cross hands with your fiancé in the future."
Lin Ze took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and left.
Ruoning watched his retreating figure, then couldn't help but glance up at the little white fox sitting on the tiled wall.
Heheh~
Ruoning felt happy inside and made faces at Lin Ze's back, because Yuebai had just said that Yino had sent her to record Ruoning's situation. What did that an?
It ant that Yino was thinking about her even from thousands of miles away!
Instantly, Ruoning wasn't angry anymore, feeling she didn't need to explain to anyone—she knew the truth in her heart!
But just as Ruoning stood at the door with her hands on her hips in a great mood, a tall, dark figure erged from the room behind her.
"—Ah!"
A karate chop ca down, and the young girl standing at the door with her hands on her hips imdiately cried out and crouched down holding her head.
Ruoning turned around to see her father standing with his hands behind his back, looking serious yet helplessly sighing.
"Look how you've upset your mother and sister."
"Now hurry back to your room. I'll co talk to you tonight about you and Yino."
Yuliang's words were strict, but his gaze toward his daughter contained so aningful implications.
Though Ruoning didn't understand her father's aning, she knew he was helping her out of the situation. She blinked and quickly crouched while holding her head as she left.
….
…..
"Hey, how did you get into my house again?"
"And why are you sitting at my dressing table, why are you using my mirror and eyebrow pencil..."
Back in her own room, Ruoning imdiately noticed the white fox girl sitting at the dressing table, wagging her tail.
But due to their brief friendship in the Western Region, Ruoning didn't drive the fox girl away. Instead, she sat on the edge of the bed with puffy cheeks, watching her.
Yuebai put down the eyebrow pencil, gave a mysterious, seductive smile at the mirror, and then her white-gold seductive eyes t the teal-haired girl sitting on the bed through the reflection:
"I ca to tell you sothing from my master. If Miss Liu is so unwelcoming to , I won't co again in the future."
"Hmph... what are you so proud about? In the secret realm, weren't you also...by Yino..."
Ruoning puffed up her cheeks and muttered under her breath.
At these words, the white fox girl's proud smile instantly froze, and even the mysterious, aloof aura she'd maintained since her entrance completely lost its class.
"Mind your own business! At least I fought to the very end! You couldn't even beat Liuli and got captured as a hostage right at the start—what right do you have to look down on !"
Yuebai seed triggered by the remark, her face turning as red as tomato.
Ruoning was also sowhat triggered, but considering the other's purpose, she decided they were both defeated opponents and shouldn't hurt each other further.
"Fine, tell what Yino wants to say to ."
"He wants you to focus on cultivation, avoid fighting with that Lin guy, and suggests you go develop at the Liuli Sect in the future instead of staying at the Liu family waiting for him..."
"Go to the Liuli Sect? Why? And how did Yino know that Lin family guy would co?"
Ruoning raised an eyebrow, seeming confused.
Yuebai shrugged her shoulders and turned her face away:
"How would I know? Yino's always mysterious. He even knows when the cherry blossoms in my holand will bloom! Just listen to him and you'll be fine. Besides, when you're out in the world, avoiding trouble is always better!"
"Oh... actually, that female elder from the Liuli Sect wanted to take as her true disciple recently..."
"Wait, if that's the case, when you go to the Liuli Sect, won't I have a new backer there too?"
"Huh? Don't you have your precious disciple Xumo? Why do you need ?"
"Ruoning, you'd better help if anything happens at the Liuli Sect! Otherwise, I won't help you pass ssages to my master next ti!"
"You! How can you blackmail with that—!"
"Mind your own business! Nyah nyah~ Just tell , will you help or not?"
"Yes! Yes!!"
