Can't Be a Hopelessly Blunt Straight Girl!

Seeing that even Fifth Elder had said so, Azure Luan Douluo could only sigh helplessly. He did not suspect Miss of having ulterior motives.

He just did not know why, but whenever Ya Wen mentioned the Angel Family, Azure Luan always felt a chill in her voice.

This probably was not his imagination.

"You are Azure Luan Douluo, aren't you?"

Ya Wen's delicate brows drew together slightly, while a faint smile rested on her face.

A trace of surprise flashed through Azure Luan Douluo's blue eyes. He had never introduced himself, so how did this young lady know who he was?

"You know me?"

"Many years ago, my mother brought me to Spirit Hall, and we happened to meet you."

As Ya Wen recalled the past, a wistful look appeared on her face.

Qingluan Douluo raised a brow. "Do you know this old man?"

"I do now," Ya Wen replied softly.

Qingluan Douluo: ...

Well then, that meant she had only gotten to know him now. She had not known him before.

The art of language.

Shen Nuonuo secretly laughed.

"Aunt Ya Wen, then aren't you already in your thirties? You're even older than my mother!"

Qian Renxue's purple eyes were like a sea of stars.

Shen Nuonuo pressed a hand to her forehead, then stepped forward and took hold of Qian Renxue. "Little Xue, you're still young. Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking!"

Why was Little Xue so blunt? No, I have to improve her social awareness! She can't become a hopelessly blunt straight girl!

"Huh?" Qian Renxue looked bewildered.

But Aunt Ya Wen really looked younger than Mother.

Azure Luan Douluo and Qingluan Douluo both smiled faintly.

As expected of Little Xue—she opened with a bombshell.

Ya Wen, however, did not overthink it as much as they did. She only found the child innocent and adorable. Bending down to look at Qian Renxue, she said, "Calling me Aunt isn't wrong. I'm thirty."

"Oh, okay!"

Ya Wen then looked at Shen Nuonuo. "Miss, I'll go explain my background to the Great Enshrined first, so as to avoid any unnecessary trouble. Is that alright?"

Shen Nuonuo nodded in agreement.

Azure Luan Douluo and Qingluan Douluo left with Ya Wen, leaving only the two sisters in the room.

A mischievous glint flashed in Shen Nuonuo's orange eyes as she draped an arm around Qian Renxue's shoulders. "Little Xue, your sister has a task for you."

"What task?" Qian Renxue replied instinctively.

"I'll leave the garbage here for you to clean up. Don't ask anyone else to do it, okay~"

Shen Nuonuo wanted to follow them, but she did not want to bring Qian Renxue along. She felt that Ya Wen likely had some grievances with the Angel Clan, and there was no need for Little Xue to know about such things.

Just as Qian Renxue was about to refuse, Shen Nuonuo immediately said, "Little Xue, there'll be a reward when your sister comes back!"

"Alright! I'll wait for Sister to come back." Though Qian Renxue was somewhat reluctant, she still agreed.

"Good girl!" Shen Nuonuo gave Qian Renxue the remaining Yo-yo she had previously given Qingluan Douluo as a toy, then went out to find them.

The moment she stepped out of the Worship Hall, she saw the three of them.

Azure Luan Douluo, Qingluan Douluo, and Ya Wen were all standing there, seemingly waiting for her.

"Heh, you two really guessed right." Qingluan Douluo turned to look at Ya Wen.

Shen Nuonuo looked at Azure Luan Douluo and Ya Wen in surprise.

"We guessed it."

"We guessed it."

Azure Luan Douluo and Ya Wen spoke in unison.

"? Alright, alright, let's go!" Shen Nuonuo felt that these two had clearly only just met, yet they were strangely in sync.

Qingluan Douluo watched the scene with interest, then asked after a moment's thought, "Big Blue Bird, is Big Brother still at the Holy Hall?"

"Fifth Elder, what did you call me?" Azure Luan Douluo's face darkened when he heard that nickname.

Didn't he see where they were?

There were even two juniors here!

"Big Blue Bird? Are you deaf?" Qingluan Douluo clearly did not catch the implication, since that was how he usually addressed him.

Tsk, tsk, Qingluan was also a blunt straight man, no better than Little Xue! Maybe Little Xue had learned it from him.

Seeing Azure Luan Douluo's darkened expression, Shen Nuonuo secretly laughed.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Qingluan Douluo coughed desperately.

No matter how slow Qingluan Douluo was, he caught on by then. Keeping his expression natural, he said, "Take back the thing I said before last. Third Elder, where's Big Brother?"

"At the Elder Hall," Azure Luan Douluo said seriously.

"Then let's go!" Seeing the look on Big Blue Bird's face, Qingluan Douluo had a bad feeling.

Elder Hall.

Qian Daoliu had many residences. Sometimes he stayed at Angel Sanctuary; other times, at the Elder Hall or the Worship Hall.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu was in the Elder Hall arranging affairs.

The Worship Hall was very close to the Elder Hall, not far to its left. The four of them arrived quickly.

"Big Brother!" Qingluan Douluo had practically sped all the way there, leaving Shen Nuonuo and the others some distance behind. The moment he saw Qian Daoliu, he rushed forward in a single stride.

"Fifth Elder, what brings you here?" Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression stern.

"Guess who's here?"

Qingluan Douluo asked with his arms folded across his chest.

"..."

Qian Daoliu simply looked at Qingluan Douluo in silence.

"Big Brother, you're no fun at all." Qingluan Douluo deflated like a punctured balloon.

"You're already this old, yet you still act like a child!"

Qian Daoliu stood over two meters tall. Standing before Qingluan Douluo, he looked like a giant.

In terms of age, Qian Daoliu could practically have been Qingluan's father. Qingluan was the youngest of the Seven Great Enshrined Elders and was only a little over seventy now.

If the Enshrined Elders had a group favorite, it would be Qingluan Douluo.

"Hmph!" Qingluan Douluo pursed his lips.

Qian Daoliu lightly flicked Qingluan Douluo's forehead and said helplessly, "Did you get into another conflict with Third Elder?"

"No. How would I dare? There's just a lady who wants to see you. You'll find out soon enough."

Qingluan Douluo felt bored and regretted rushing over so quickly.

"Fifth Elder, can you just bring anyone into the Elder Hall?" Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.

Just then, a woman's voice rang out.

"Chief Enshrined Elder, it has been many years since we last met. I wonder if you still remember me." Ya Wen watched Qian Daoliu, whose appearance was still as youthful as ever.

Shen Nuonuo stood to Ya Wen's left, while Azure Luan Douluo stood on her right.

"You are?" Qian Daoliu looked at that familiar face, seeming to recall something.

"Chief Enshrined Elder, you truly have the forgetfulness of a great man!"

Ya Wen laughed softly.

Seeing Ya Wen's smile, Shen Nuonuo thought of a line of poetry.

A single backward glance and smile brought forth a hundred charms—nothing could describe it better.

Both Azure Luan Douluo and Qingluan Douluo sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two.

They were both worried for Ya Wen.

How many people dared to speak to Qian Daoliu with such barbs hidden in their words?

Everyone treated him with the utmost respect. Even Qingluan Douluo did not dare act too presumptuously before Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu heard the mockery in her tone.

Strangely, he had no desire to reprimand her.

He could clearly sense that the woman before him was merely a Spirit Saint.

Yet he felt an inexplicable familiarity toward her.

"About twenty years ago, my mother brought me to see you."

Ya Wen looked at everything that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Qian Daoliu fell silent for half a minute. A trace of guilt flashed through his golden eyes. "You're Xiao Ya's daughter, aren't you?"

"Yes."

Ya Wen answered softly.
