The Frank and Open Baili Qiushui

After landing, Baili Qiushui bowed to Lu Yang with her hands clasped, a smile on her intelligent and beautiful face, and said, "Greetings, Young Master Lu."

Lu Yang returned the greeting with a cupped hand and said, "Senior Baili, you are too kind. What brings you here?"

Baili Qiushui smiled and said, "It's like this, the protective formation of Eastward Prospect Mountain has just been set up. I was just about to go and talk to the elder of the Lu Lineage about it when I noticed you were back, so I came to find you first."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "The protective formation for Eastward Prospect Mountain has been set up?"

"Well, if Young Master Lu is interested, you can come with me to take a closer look and learn more. I think it will satisfy Young Master Lu." Baili Qiushui's tone was confident.

After all, the materials she used for setting up the formation were all provided by Young Master Lu, and they were all top-quality materials.

Combined with her mastery of Formation Dao formations, the protective array she set up was naturally excellent. Even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfection the Nascent Soul stage would need several hours to break through it!

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "I have faith in your skill in Formation Dao formations, so there's no need for you to look any further. You can explain the array formations to my elders."

Baili Qiushui nodded. "No problem."

She paused, then gritted her teeth and asked, "By the way, Young Master Lu, I heard from Mingyue that something seemed to have happened between you and Mingyue a few days ago?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang felt a chill run down his spine.

Holy crap?

Baili Mingyue actually told her master about the spanking he received?

Aren't you ashamed?!

Even someone as thick-skinned as Lu Yang felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

He chuckled dryly and said, "Ahem... I guess so, something did happen... It seems Mingyue told you? I didn't mean to hit her... I just lost control."

Baili Qiushui was fine when she heard the first part of what Lu Yang said, but she was stunned when she heard what he said next.

Hit her?

Lu Yang hit Mingyue?!

A surge of anger welled up inside her, but she quickly suppressed it.

Something's not right...

Judging from Mingyue's condition at the time, she didn't look like she had been beaten at all; she seemed perfectly fine.

Moreover, she was clearly very happy at the time, even in a kind of happiness she had never seen before.

If Lu Yang really hit Mingyue, given Mingyue's personality, she would probably only feel inferior and heartbroken.

Baili Qiushui kept wondering if she had made a mistake.

Why does the relationship between these two seem different from what she imagined?

Seeing the slight embarrassment on Lu Yang's face, Baili Qiushui remained calm and smiled, "But Mingyue was very happy at the time, so I'd like to try it too."

Baili Qiushui felt that if she asked more questions, judging from Young Master Lu's expression, he probably wouldn't say anything.

As for Mingyue? Mingyue has only just recovered somewhat, so she naturally wouldn't dare to upset Mingyue.

In order to find out what exactly happened, Baili Qiushui thought that perhaps she could try to understand it through words.

Lu Yang froze upon hearing Baili Qiushui's words. "????"

A series of question marks flashed through his mind.

No... do you even know what you're saying?!

He could understand why Mingyue was so happy at the time; after all, her favorability rating was maxed out—how could she not be happy?

The problem is, do you want to give it a try too?

This is terrible!

Lu Yang suddenly had a strange thought: Could it be that Baili Mingyue's abnormal abilities were learned from Baili Qiushui?!

Baili Qiushui was an intellectual, gentle, beautiful, and serene female cultivator with a scholarly air. Lu Yang originally thought she was probably a researcher, but he never expected her to be so unconventional!

You can't tell at all!

You really can't judge a book by its cover!

Lu Yang's lips twitched, and he forced a dry laugh, "This isn't good, let's forget about it."

Not good?

Is there really a problem?

A glint of light flashed in Baili Qiushui's eyes, and a smile appeared on her intelligent and beautiful face, "Young Master Lu, I have put in a lot of effort to set up the formation for Eastward Prospect Mountain. I have worked hard, even if I haven't achieved anything great. Can't Young Master Lu even grant me this small request?"

Lu Yang: "..."

The way he looked at Baili Qiushui changed.

That's so perverted!

How could they make such a request based on something like this!?

Lu Yang wondered if he should ask Jinxuan if she knew his longtime best friend was such a pervert.

Just then, a sudden inspiration struck Lu Yang, and with his current thinking speed, he quickly came up with a different guess.

From beginning to end, Baili Qiushui never mentioned where she hit; could it be that she had no idea about the specifics of his and Baili Mingyue's situation at the time?

So, is Baili Qiushui's current statement just a way to elicit information?

If that's really what he was thinking, then this Nascent Soul True Lord is a bit too abnormal.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang felt a strange sensation, then looked at Baili Qiushui and chuckled, "Senior Qiushui, do you know how I fought Mingyue before?"

When Baili Qiushui saw Lu Yang's gaze, she felt a chill run down her spine and immediately realized that she might have been noticed for something amiss.

So she simply said frankly, "I hope Young Master Lu can enlighten me. After all, I am Mingyue's master. If Mingyue has been bullied by Young Master Lu, I must find out. Although I am no match for Young Master Lu, it is my responsibility as your master."

Hearing this, Lu Yang felt a pang of emotion.

He knew it! Sure enough, Baili Mingyue was the one who was abnormal, and it had nothing to do with Baili Qiushui.

Baili Qiushui is truly a good master.

He smiled and said, "It's not convenient to talk about that. If Senior Qiushui wants to know, why don't you just ask Mingyue?"

Seeing that the topic had already been brought up, Baili Qiushui decided to stop beating around the bush and said frankly, "Young Master Lu went missing a few days ago, and Mingyue's condition was very poor; she looked much more haggard. However, I learned from Jinxuan Xuan that you were in seclusion, so I understand that this is not your fault. I have come to see you today for another matter, which is to ask Young Master Young Master Lu, in the capacity of Mingyue's master, how he truly views Mingyue? If Young Master Lu has no feelings for Mingyue, could you please be frank and make it clear so that Mingyue can give up on him?"

Hearing Baili Qiushui's heartfelt words, Lu Yang fell silent.

He felt particularly distressed when he heard that Baili Mingyue was not in good condition.

As expected, she has a high level of affection...

He hadn't expected her to react this way after he'd only been away from her for a few days.

As for Baili Qiushui's next words, Lu Yang took a deep breath, looked at Baili Qiushui, and smiled, "I actually quite like Mingyue. If Senior Qiushui doesn't mind me having multiple dao companion, I don't want to give up Mingyue."

Upon hearing this, Baili Qiushui's eyes lit up, and a look of joy welled up in her heart. Even the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

Unexpectedly, there was actually a pleasant surprise!

Mingyue is such a lucky girl!

Baili Qiushui didn't really care much about what Lu Yang said about having multiple dao companion.

After all, given Lu Yang's noble status, it's perfectly normal for him to have several dao companion.

Not to mention Lu Yang's appearance was like that of a celestial being descended to earth, so handsome that even she sometimes dared not look at him for too long.

Moreover, Baili Qiushui also learned from Jinxuan that Lu Yang was truly good to his dao companion.

He could give something like the Great Dao Spirit Fruit to Jinxuan, let alone Mingyue. Even she sometimes envied him so much that her eyes would turn green with envy!

Mingyue herself is an introverted person who rarely communicates with others, so with Lu Yang protecting her, she doesn't need to worry about anything.

In Baili Qiushui's heart, Baili Mingyue following Lu Yang was definitely the best choice!

With a smile on her face, she said, "As long as you two are in love, what objection do I have?"

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "In that case, I'd like to go see Mingyue first."

He had indeed forgotten his promise to Baili Mingyue, and hadn't even given Mingyue the jade token from the [Palace of the Tycoon]...

Now is a good time to go see her and check on her.
