Ya Fei Danced Across Yun Yun's Minefield

Ya Fei was not surprised that someone other than herself had obtained a Diary Copy.

The reason was simple. The cover of the Diary Copy bore the words "Ya Fei's Exclusive Copy."

If only one person possessed a Diary Copy, it would not be labeled that way. A simple note of "Copy" would have sufficed.

There had to be other "so-and-so's exclusive copies."

But she had not expected to discover another owner just after receiving her Diary Copy, before she had even read its contents.

Could my obtaining the Diary Copy have something to do with Yun Yun? A conjecture surfaced in Ya Fei's mind.

If Yun Yun had truly come to Wutan City because of this Diary Copy, then she must have received it some time ago, and it must contain information enticing enough to move even a Dou Emperor expert.

Yet Ya Fei herself had only just obtained this Diary Copy. It was difficult to say there was no connection between them.

As for theories about pranks, conspiracies, or schemes, she had none.

Because she was not worth it!

"Do you still have something to say?"

Yun Yun opened her eyes and looked at Ya Fei, who was still standing where she was.

Then she noticed that this woman's gaze had actually fallen on the Ancient Book of her Diary Copy.

Boom!

A chill instantly swept through Yun Yun's entire body.

The second rule of the diary stated that the existence of the Copy could not be revealed to outsiders. Otherwise, one would be stripped of ownership of the Copy, and all memories related to it would be sealed.

She had tested it before. Nalan Yanran could not see the Ancient Book in her hand, so she had assumed that as long as she said nothing, no one could possibly know.

Only then had she dared to summon the physical Ancient Book and manually flip through the Diary's contents.

Was Ya Fei's gaze merely a coincidence, or did she possess something special?

"You can see it?" Yun Yun released a trace of Dou Emperor aura.

Ya Fei nearly dropped to her knees. She did not dare lie and instinctively nodded. "Yes!"

"Hmph!" Killing intent filled Yun Yun's eyes.

If she silenced Ya Fei, it should not count as revealing the existence of the Copy, right?

Gasp!

Ya Fei felt as though she had fallen into an icy abyss, an unprecedented sense of danger rising within her.

Meeting Yun Yun's gaze, she suddenly recalled the Copy Owner Rules set by the Diary.

If all Copy owners were bound by the same rules, then Yun Yun could not proactively tell outsiders either.

Otherwise, she would be stripped of the Copy and have her memories sealed.

And that would become the reason Ya Fei had to be killed to keep her silent!

I'm done for. What do I do!?

Ya Fei felt a sudden warmth in her lower abdomen, her legs turning weak as her soul nearly left her body.

She racked her brains for a way to save her life, but her mind was completely blank.

Only now did she truly understand that strength was everything in this world. Her life rested on a powerful person's whim.

"Forget it."

Resigned to her fate, Ya Fei closed her eyes and silently prayed that she would be born into a good family in her next life—preferably as a Dou Emperor's daughter.

Yet to her surprise, Yun Yun did not act for a long while. She seemed to be hesitating.

In truth, Yun Yun was not hesitating. She had made a decision.

I can't kill her, even if I lose the Copy and have my memories sealed!

Given how much she valued the Diary Copy, Yun Yun's instinct as an expert who had grown this strong was to kill Ya Fei and silence her.

But then she recalled what Chu Xiao had just written in the Diary: that he would bring Ya Fei, whose talent was extremely ordinary, to the Great Thousand World in the future.

As a Dou Emperor and the leader of a sect, even Yun Yun would feel pressure if asked to provide the resources needed to cultivate someone to the Dou Wang realm.

To bring someone with Ya Fei's level of talent to the Great Thousand World would require astronomical resources.

If the same resources were given to someone more talented, they could reach greater heights more quickly.

This showed just how much Chu Xiao valued Ya Fei!

If she erased Ya Fei now and Chu Xiao learned of it in the future, a rift would inevitably form between them.

Nor could she explain her actions. She might even expose the fact that she could read the Diary, and the final outcome would still be the same.

She might as well lose the Diary Copy and have her memories sealed. Given the ambiguous relationship she had shared with Chu Xiao, and the fact that he had just reincarnated only to be met with "I'm sorry," she could probably just coast along.

"Keep your eyes open and choose the right person to invest in."

Looking at the Diary's final few lines, Yun Yun murmured softly, deeply inspired.

Chu Xiao did not know she could see the Diary's contents. As long as she found a suitable reason to support him and the Xiao Family, she would be investing in advance.

Once he rose to prominence in the future, would he not have to repay her generously and make her feel like she was flying?

Unfortunately, she had realized this too late. She was about to lose the Diary and have her memories sealed.

Yun Yun closed her eyes and quietly waited for the punishment to descend.

Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded within the luxuriously decorated guest room.

One beautiful woman with a seductive temperament, a voluptuous figure, and stunning looks, and another beautiful woman with an elegant temperament, a flawless figure, and delicate features, both had their eyes closed as they waited for something.

After a while, Ya Fei was the first to lose patience. Opening her eyes, she asked, "Sect Leader Yun Yun, are you still not going to make a move?"

As she spoke, she removed the hairpin from her head, allowing her long hair to spill loose and making her look somewhat more carefree.

"I do want to kill you." Yun Yun opened her eyes as well, one finger twitching slightly. But because of Chu Xiao, I cannot do so...

Yun Yun only thought the latter half of that sentence and did not say it aloud.

The Diary Copy had yet to disappear or seal her memories, leaving her deeply puzzled.

Were the rules false, or did Ya Fei seeing the Ancient Book not count as her proactively revealing it?

No, why could Ya Fei see her exclusive Diary Copy?

Could it be related to Chu Xiao?

For a moment, countless doubts swirled in her mind.

She does want to kill me? Ya Fei pondered those words, and her beautiful eyes lit up.

That meant she could not kill Ya Fei due to some sort of restriction?

Her keen instincts immediately made her think of the Diary Copy.

A true failure who had only broken through to the Dou Zhe realm in her twenties, she had developed a sharp eye for reading people from childhood. She was especially skilled at seizing opportunities, and she immediately judged this to be a chance to build a good relationship with Yun Yun—perhaps even become special companions.

Without the slightest hesitation, she summoned the physical form of her own exclusive Diary Copy and parted her crimson lips. "Sect Leader Yun Yun, I have one of these too."

"What!?" Yun Yun stood up, surprise filling her eyes. "Could there be others who can possess Diary Copies!?"

"Uh, isn't that obvious?" Yun Yun's excessive reaction confused Ya Fei.

"How is it obvious?" Yun Yun stepped forward and examined the Copy's Ancient Book in Ya Fei's hand.

"This label." Pointing at the cover with a slender, jade-like finger, Ya Fei explained her analysis.

Yet inwardly, she regretted saying "obvious" so bluntly.

It seemed Yun Yun had not considered this possibility. Saying it like that made Yun Yun appear rather foolish.

Yun Yun's ears gradually reddened. "..."

It truly was an obvious answer, yet she had failed to think of it.

It seemed that her status and position had bred arrogance within her. After obtaining the Copy, she had assumed it was an opportunity meant solely for her.

Fortunately, it was not too late to realize it now. She had merely embarrassed herself somewhat before Ya Fei.

So... should she still silence this bewitching woman after all?
