“So those things Sister just said…”
As pure as she was, Li Shiyao couldn’t imagine such cruel torment. That such a stunningly beautiful elder sister was being tortured day and night by a devil—how could that be true?
“It was all Master who told me to say it…”
Ye Qinghan had fully slipped into her role. She looked like a caged bird, a fish trapped in a net, her eyes void of light, as if she saw nothing ahead but endless torment and humiliation. She looked so pitiful.
Though it was all made up, Ye Qinghan’s vivid storytelling made it all feel real. In Li Shiyao’s eyes, every word was the truth.
“Sister is already like a clay idol crossing a river, barely holding on. How could I bear to watch you throw yourself into the same trap? I only got angry earlier because I couldn’t bear to see you stay lost. I hope you won’t blame me!”
“How could I blame Sister for being so kind?”
One dared to speak, the other dared to believe!
Only these two could pull this off. Anyone else wouldn’t believe something like this—Ye Qinghan clearly wasn’t the type to suffer silently.
And Li Shiyao wouldn’t trust just anyone either. But a sister this beautiful? She believed her without question.
Fate had brought together one girl full of schemes and another pure to the point of foolishness.
“What should I do to save you, Sister?”
Li Shiyao was on the verge of tears, overwhelmed with anxiety. She wanted to save Qinghan, but had no idea how.
“You don’t need to worry, little sister. I have my own way out. But listen to my advice—stay far away from Su Cheng!”
“Alright, Sister, don’t worry! I don’t like him anymore! Even if he’s elegant and handsome, like a jade tree in the wind, stealing hearts with every glance… I… I don’t like him anymore!”
“That’s more like it!”
Ye Qinghan’s inner scheming was in full swing!
Little brat! Trying to steal my man? I’ll play you to death!
“In that case, I can recommend someone else to you.”
“Who?”
Li Shiyao blinked her eyes expectantly. Ye Qinghan kept her silence, making her wait until she was almost dying of impatience.
“Sister, hurry and tell me!”
“Sigh, forget it. Although you’re somewhat pretty, I’m not sure he’d be interested in you.”
“Who is it? To be honest, I’m the Saintess of Sacred Mountain. The elders say there’s no man in this world who wouldn’t like me!”
Ye Qinghan chuckled inwardly. Hah! I used to think that too!
But I later realized—when it comes to winning over Master, natural charm isn’t enough!
“I’ve heard a little… is he the one over there who looks a bit pervy? I don’t like him. The way he looks at me gives me chills.”
Ye Qinghan was stunned. Despite her being naive and silly, this girl actually had decent taste in men?
But no, Su Cheng is mine!
Ye Qinghan decided to start spouting nonsense.
“You don’t understand. Sect Master Cheng was observing your talent and reading your destiny. That look means he’s fond of you!”
“Really?”
“Of course! Sect Master Cheng became sect master at a young age. If you joined him, you’d be on the fast track to ascension. He’s humble and kind to all disciples—the sect is like one big family!”
“But you just said earlier that he was cold to his top disciple!”
“That’s because Master made me say that! If I didn’t, I’d get whipped again when we go back!”
As Ye Qinghan spoke, she let a wave of grievance surface, and Shiyao looked like she was about to cry again.
Shiyao looked at Su Cheng, then at Cheng Liang in the distance, feeling all kinds of complicated emotions…
But still, Cheng Liang… really wasn’t as handsome as Sect Master Su.
Turns out the elders were right—handsome men are never good people!
He even whipped her beautiful sister!
On the other side, Ye Qinghan began regretting letting her master come along. He was too handsome! He should’ve been chained beside her bed for her eyes alone!
Handsome trees attract wind. The more attractive Master was, the more people lusted after him!
“In any case, will you remember what I said?”
“Yes, I’ll remember everything!”
Shiyao still thought Su Cheng was handsome, but now all she wanted was to go kick him twice.
But with her sister still in that big bad guy’s hands, she held herself back…
Soon, the secret realm was about to open. Ye Qinghan finally ended this torturous babysitting session. It was time to go explore the secret realm with her master!
Ye Qinghan quietly walked over to Su Cheng and tugged on his sleeve, signaling that the time had come.
Su Cheng smiled, patted her fox head, and followed her away. He had no desire to waste time chatting with these old fossils.
“What’s this? Miss Qinghan hasn’t been weaned yet? Why didn’t you bring your nanny along too?”
Ye Qinghan smiled and turned her head with a face full of “kindness.” This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
“I advise you not to go in. If I run into you inside, I’ll chop off your feet and stuff them in your mouth!”
“I look forward to meeting you inside, Miss Qinghan. Your last performance was rather ordinary. I hope you’ve improved this time.”
Su Cheng looked toward the woman speaking with Ye Qinghan. The moment he saw her, he almost jumped in shock…
[Should’ve known better than to come! Why is it always troublesome women?! First the Saintess of Sacred Mountain, and now this one—this is the princess of the kingdom! The Human Emperor’s eldest daughter!]
[Dongfang Jue!]
[I can’t kill her, I can’t even touch her! Why does every single woman seem to have a connection to Cheng Liang?!]
[If it was just the Saintess, killing her wouldn’t matter. But this one—this one could change the balance of the world. I can’t touch her for now… otherwise, just for the way she talked to my disciple, I’d chop her up and feed her to the dogs!]
Ye Qinghan narrowed her fox eyes. So Master knows everyone, huh?
She had long suspected that her master could see into the future.
Back at the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony, she had initially planned to join Heavenly Dao Pavilion, but Master already knew.
And the Saintess too—Master had taken one look at her and predicted her future. That wasn’t something that could be explained by reading fate alone.
If Master was right, this Dongfang Jue would also become one of Cheng Liang’s harem?
Heh. Cheng Liang sure was lucky.
“Heh. Little slut, let’s meet inside~”
Before Ye Qinghan could think about how to deal with this royal pain, Shangguan Rou walked past her and whispered a death-seeking comment.
Ye Qinghan narrowed her eyes and smiled lightly, then turned to Su Cheng.
“In that case, Master, wait for me outside. I’ll handle everything cleanly.”
At this moment, Ye Qinghan just found it amusing. So they were all supposed to be people who would reshape the world?
As if she weren’t one herself. Heh.
[Wait! No, this is bad! When Qinghan smiles like that, someone’s gonna die!]
[This is a disaster! Everything’s off-track now!]
[According to how the world was supposed to develop, Dongfang Jue would encounter danger in the secret realm, and Ye Qinghan would save her. They’d reconcile, and Dongfang Jue would get to know Cheng Liang!]
[From there, Dongfang Jue and Cheng Liang would fall in love!]
[But now, Ye Qinghan is my disciple! With that expression, she’s planning to kill Dongfang Jue! What do I do?!]
Ye Qinghan narrowed her fox eyes, her smile deepening.
So that’s how it is~
