Only Because She Cared Too Much

The gathering of dark clouds was merely Qin Yi's misperception due to his guilty conscience.

Actually, the dog could tell that this scene was far less impressive than the atmosphere at the wedding... If Liusu were following this story, she would probably be very disappointed.

Ju Yunxiu looked at Yu Shang's sullen expression with some surprise.

She felt that Yu Shang was a bit weak.

Because Yu Shang glared at her for a long time, she thought she would surely have some profound insights, but in the end, she only said that she was angry and defended herself, without any counterattack.

What's so special about this?

Even that Little Daoist Nun who could only stomp her feet had retorted with barbed words, and later Qing Jun simply went so far as to tear her apart and take it to bed.

Among those who cultivate immortality, some are courageous and diligent, while others are tranquil and natural, but they all share the characteristic of not being afraid of competition.

Even the most docile person will fight for fortuitous opportunity they come their way. If you don't fight for this or that, how will you receive good fortune? Heaven won't just drop it on you.

The same principle applies to matters between men and women. Even if Minghe is of a mild temperament, when things come to a head, she will have a natural, albeit sharp, counterattack out of unwillingness.

It stems from caring.

As long as you care, you can't go on living a simple life.

The ability to remain detached from worldly affairs stems from indifference; the so-called supreme being, from this perspective, means having no need to care about anything.

So, does Yu Shang not care about Qin Yi?

She clung to Qin Yi's arm so tightly it was almost taut.

They care to the core.

Yes, there is also a kind of non-competition that stems from caring too much.

Perhaps it was because Ju Yunxiu was Qin Yi's Senior Sister? This Yuren dared not retaliate, fearing it would be considered insubordination and displease Qin Yi.

She only dared to defend herself; even though she was full of resentment, she didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal.

Is this a proud winged person?

Yu Shang avoided his gaze somewhat. She felt as if the elegant Elder Sister in front of her had seen right through her.

She was genuinely guilty this time. The dog was right; she was nowhere near as bad as she was at the wedding. It's normal to be furious when your wedding is disrupted.

This time, however, Yu Shang's mindset was different. Not only herself, but her entire tribe was almost conquered by Qin Yi. Despite being wronged and suffering injustice, Qin Yi unhesitatingly saved the very lifeblood of his tribe. This magnanimity and achievement earned the deep respect of all the Yu people, who knelt willingly in submission. Yu Shang knew that even her mother admired Qin Yi, having said, "If he wants something, we Yu people will try our best to satisfy him."

She didn't have the confidence to care what women Qin Yi had. In fact, even if Qin Yi wanted to treat her as a concubine or even a servant, she would be willing to accept it.

However, when there is competition, whether it is An'an or someone else, she subconsciously protects her food, like a little hen, looking like she's ready to tear apart any vixen in the world.

Simply because I care too much.

The more women a man has, the less attention he'll have lingering on her... She's afraid of losing her.

Rationally, he knew that this time his opponent was different. This time, his opponent was his Senior Sister, an elder. How could he dare to offend her?

Ju Yunxiu watched, she noticed Yu Shang forcing a proud expression, her gaze becoming increasingly evasive. Ju Yunxiu's gaze finally softened, and she sighed, "Women..."

Yu Shang pursed her lips and said nothing.

Ju Yunxiu turned to Qin Yi and said calmly, "Whether you found a Clam Girl or... a winged person, what displeases me is that your flute skills have truly deteriorated. To say they're worse than ten years ago would be an exaggeration, but they've definitely declined since we secluded ourselves in Red Rock Land. This shows that you haven't practiced since I left... Do you still consider yourself someone from Qinqi Peak?"

From this perspective, Qin Yi must acknowledge that Ju Yunxiu is Qin Yi teacher. He had actually seduced his master, but that couldn't mask the fact that it was indeed a master-disciple relationship. Given Ju Yunxiu's criticism, Qin Yi was truly speechless.

He could only bow his head and admit his mistake. "The Divine Continent is in chaos, and Wu Xian and the Witch God Sect have clashed. In the Great Wilderness, the situation between Xun Wood City and Youming is complicated, and I really have no State of Mind for leisure."

"Music and painting are not necessarily pastimes; they are weapons in themselves," Ju Yunxiu said. "I don't expect you to take them as your path, but I also don't want you to treat them as toys to be discarded, only to be used as a method to approach Qiu Niu when needed."

Qin Yi was quite moved.

He studied music and painting in order to pursue a natural State of Mind, but it seems that this original intention has been lost in the midst of his busy military campaigns and hurried journeys.

Don't tell me you're too busy; you'd have time to pick up girls. How dare you say you're not busy?

He bowed deeply to the ground and said, "Senior Sister's reprimand is correct. I will reflect on my actions."

Yu Shang was taken aback. From these words, it really seemed like Elder Sister scolding her younger brother, or even an elder scolding a younger one. Her Husband was humbly accepting the instruction, which didn't seem out of place. Could it be that she had misunderstood the relationship between her Husband and this Senior Sister?

Qin Yi explained to her in a low voice, "My Senior Sister took me on behalf of our master and taught me. She is called my Senior Sister, but she is actually my master."

It seemed there was a misunderstanding. Yu Shang felt that her previous performance had been very embarrassing, so she quickly composed herself and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Sister."

Ju Yunxiu said, "Don't change the subject, I haven't finished yet. I especially don't want you to use what I taught you to pick up other girls! That would make me feel like an idiot!"

Yu Shang: "..."

An'an, who had just taken a sip of lemon tea, spat it all out upon hearing this, her face quickly turning bright red.

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "An'an and I have no such relationship... To be honest, I told An'an before that I can't be her teacher. If I have the chance to meet my Senior Sister, Senior Sister is the best teacher."

An'an quickly stood up. "Yes, the teacher did say that repeatedly. Therefore, the teacher refused to use the technique of enlightenment, and only taught the art through musical scores. He also said that his flute was the first gift given to him by his Senior Sister, and he always carried it with him as if he were seeing his Senior Sister, and he would never change it no matter what."

Qin Yi secretly praised her for her helpful assistance and immediately followed up, "Senior Sister, although An'an is not very talented, she is very serious and genuinely loves playing the zither. Senior Sister might want to consider her."

Ju Yunxiu's expression softened even more as she looked at An'an for a while, seemingly lost in thought.

The lineage of the four arts—music, Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect, and painting—is passed down, but chess and calligraphy are still carried on by others. She carries on the zither and painting, and now the painting tradition is being passed down by Jing Ze, but what about the zither?

Relying on Qin Yi? Or on Qing Cha?

Forget it.

This An'an... although she is Demon Cultivator and her talent doesn't quite match, if she truly loves music, it's not impossible for her to succeed. Saying that her talent doesn't match is only relative to the talents of the Conch Girl and the others. In fact, she's not worse than ordinary mortals. At least her flute playing just now was quite decent, which shows that she's not an incorrigible stone.

It's still better than that big pig's trotter.

However, the inheritance of this kind of Dao requires careful consideration. Ju Yunxiu did not make a decision for the time being, but said, "Let's discuss this matter again. If it is suitable, it is not impossible."

This meant it was a test. An'an wasn't stupid, so she immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Elder Sister. I'm glad Elder Sister 're giving me this opportunity. An'an will definitely accept the test."

Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The expected chaotic scene didn't happen, Yu Shang was surprisingly quiet, and his Senior Sister seemed to be in a good mood because of the possibility of inheriting the Dao of Qin. So, is it all over?

She's the Senior Sister after all; her status speaks for itself.

Ju Yunxiu glanced sideways at his smug, gleeful expression and said coldly, "Did someone just say they admitted they were wrong?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Admitting a mistake and it's all over with just a few words? No punishment required?"

"Huh?" Qin Yi patted his chest. "How does Senior Sister want to punish me? Will she flick me until I die or make me sweat from labor? I will definitely do my best to satisfy her."

Ju Yunxiu's face hardened with murderous intent. "Qing Cha!"

Qing Cha jumped up. "Yes!"

"Go find two ants."

"Well?"

"Some say you only kneel to Heaven, Earth, the Ruler, Parents, and the Teacher. I am the Teacher." Ju Yunxiu put her hands on her hips. "Find two ants and put them at the doorway for him to kneel on. He's not allowed to die. If one dies, you'll have to deal with the consequences!"

Qin Yi's face turned green. He finally realized that the essence of the "battlefield" was not a war between women, but a tragedy of a scumbag's downfall.

Women can tear each other apart, but they can tear him apart.

Qing Cha ran happily to the backyard to find ants. Qin Yi gritted his teeth and thought, "You brat, your uncle has spoiled you for nothing. Why are you so happy to make your uncle kneel on ants?"

In a moment of quick thinking, Pig Trotter said, "Senior Sister didn't say something right just now, so I need to make it clear."

Ju Yunxiu glanced at him sideways. "Oh?"

"My Senior Sister said that I traveled thousands of miles and crossed oceans, not for the sake of seeking the Dao... Indeed, I did not come here to seek the Dao."

Ju Yunxiu subconsciously asked, "Then what was it for?"

Qin Yi said softly, "To find you."

Qing Cha had just turned into the backyard when she heard this and tripped and fell with a "thump".

Ju Yunxiu's face instantly flushed red, An'an was stunned, and Gouzi was amazed.

Even Yu Shang had a strange expression on her face. Just now, watching your interaction, it looked like a Senior Sister scolding a junior. Everyone thought there was some misunderstanding about your relationship.

Now it seems there was absolutely no misunderstanding!

You even said you were called my Senior Sister, but we were actually master and disciple! You've seduced your master, how can you say it so loudly?
