Sisters Who Love and Fight Each Other

"Shui Family rule: This Jade Pendant must be kept by the lover designated by the family head?"

"Exactly."

"Does the Shui Family also stipulate that the position of family head must be held by the inheritor of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul?"

Shui Yunshu suddenly sat up straight, unable to hide her surprise. "How did you know?"

Lin Hai smiled and said, "The Phoenix Totem on this Jade Pendant is so eye-catching, and it is explicitly stated that it is to be given to the family head's partner. I was just making wild guesses."

"However, Dean Shui just said that this Jade Pendant seemed to have another function besides its symbolic meaning, but it was eventually lost, is that right?"

Shui Yunshu nodded blankly, still immersed in Lin Hai's deduction.

Over the years, she had never seriously considered the possible connection between these two ancestral rules.

Seeing her expression, Lin Hai also relaxed a lot.

He fastened the Jade Pendant back to his waist and said with a shameless smile:

"Then I will continue to keep this Jade Pendant. Welcome Skywater Academy to join the Spirit Hall."

He then took out a Jade Bottle and a scroll and placed them on the table. "These two items are my Betrothal gift."

He paused, then added:

"The Elixir Pill in the Jade Bottle are extremely precious; we currently only have four. If they are effective after consumption, you can come back to me for the remaining three."

"We're family, no need to be so polite."

Elixir Pill?

Could this be the secret behind the rapid improvement in the strength of the women around him?

Shui Yunshu stared at the Jade Bottle and scroll on the table, her mind in turmoil.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take Zhu Qing back first," Lin Hai reminded her.

"Oh, okay." Shui Yunshu came back to her senses, put away the Jade Bottle and scroll, and said, "I'll take you there."

When she led Lin Hai to knock on the door, she found Zhu Zhuqing and all the girls from the Skywater Team inside.

The room was a bit messy, and Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's clothes were also somewhat... disheveled.

Xue Wu opened the door and saw Lin Hai behind Shui Yunshu, her eyes widening immediately.

She heard the dean's voice and quickly opened the door.

Thinking that the mother should quickly persuade her daughter, she didn't expect that there was a grown man following behind her.

When Shui Bing'er saw Lin Hai, her face turned bright red, and she turned and rushed into the bathroom.

Shui Yue'er, on the other hand, was much bolder. While turning her back to adjust her clothes, she turned her head and laughed:

"Lin Hai, Aunt Yun, you're here!"

Shui Yunshu quickly stepped forward to block Lin Hai's view, frowning as she asked, "What are you two sisters up to?"

Shui Yue'er tidied her clothes and began to complain, "My sister is angry that I tattled on you and is going to punish me!"

"Hmph, I was just worried about her! Our family rules..."

"Shui Yue'er, shut up!" Shui Bing'er's angry roar came from the bathroom.

She's been hearing her sister talk about Lin Hai all day long, and her ears are practically calloused from it.

In addition, she also learned some details about Lin Hai's background and arrangements from her mother, and some of her initial worries no longer existed.

As for telling his mother that he "dared not disobey the family rules," that was just a casual remark.

She even dared to sell family heirlooms left by her ancestors, which shows that Shui Bing'er's bottom line is very flexible.

In her view, outdated rules should not hinder her sister's happiness, nor should they cause the sisters to fight.

Originally, she thought that if Lin Hai didn't know the meaning behind "Profound Ice Phoenix", she would redeem the Jade Pendant, pretend that nothing had happened, and then encourage her sister to bravely pursue her love!

Shui Yue'er clearly understood her sister's thoughts very well.

Back then, the sisters were young and naive, so they just sold off their family heirlooms.

Now that my sister is so old, she still openly defies the family rules, which will surely draw criticism.

She's a fangirl, not a fool!

Besides, it's perfectly fine for sisters to marry together! Lin Hai is much more handsome than their father!

The two women couldn't say it outright in front of Zhu Zhuqing, so they had to engage in a "mini-confrontation" between the sisters.

That was bad; Lin Hai almost saw everything.

Zhu Zhuqing walked to Lin Hai's side, a playful smile playing on her lips, and whispered, "Is it pretty?"

Lin Hai then snapped out of his daze from the faintly visible white expanse, shaking his head without changing his expression:

"The scale is so-so, but in the end, it is you Zhu Family sisters who are more captivating."

Zhu Zhuqing pinched him lightly and said in a low voice, "When have you ever seen us sisters... you know? Don't tell me you peeked at me while I was taking a bath!"

Lin Hai then realized that he had not yet confessed his relationship with Zhu Zhuyun to Zhu Zhuqing Zhu Zhuyun.

But this was clearly not the place to explain, so he could only shake his head and say:

"Go back first, I'll explain in detail later."

Zhu Zhuqing was speechless—

Did he really peek? Then why didn't he just come in openly? He made her wait so long!

Could it be that he has some kind of unusual fetish?!

She had no idea that Lin Hai had already started an affair with her older sister.

Afterwards, the two bid farewell and returned to the Shrek Academy.

Back at the academy, Zhu Zhuqing followed Lin Hai into his room, and as soon as she closed the door, she couldn't help but ask:

"What's going on with that mother and daughter acting so mysteriously? And what's the story behind that Jade Pendant?"

Lin Hai did not answer directly. After a moment of contemplation, he asked in return:

"Zhu Qing, do you know my true identity?"

Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head.

She had made some guesses, but no matter what she thought of, she had no way to confirm them.

"I am the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."

After speaking, Lin Hai carefully observed Zhu Zhuqing's expression.

Seeing that she only slightly widened her eyes and showed a hint of surprise, and did not immediately suspect his purpose or intention like Ning Rongrong did, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone, "You can ask me anything now."

Given Lin Hai's Martial Soul and strength, Zhu Zhuqing had long suspected that he might be from the Spirit Hall, but she never expected his status to be so revered, that he was actually Holy Son.

However, none of these things were the most important to her; Lin Hai himself was what she cared about most!

She rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Didn't I just ask? What's the deal with that Jade Pendant?"

This was the first time Lin Hai had received such a reaction after "announcing his number," and he couldn't help but chuckle. This little kitten was really adorable.

He suppressed his smile and began to speak slowly:

"My parents passed away very early, and I have lived in the Orphanage in Spirit City since I was three years old."

"After awakening his Martial Soul, he was taken in as a disciple by Pope Bibi Dong, and later he was named Holy Son."

He paused, then continued:

"As for that Jade Pendant, it was presented to the headquarters of the Spirit City by the Spirit Hall Main Hall of Skywater City, and later it was assigned to me."

"I only found out today that it was actually a family heirloom of the Shui Family..."

He roughly recounted what he had heard from Shui Yunshu that day, and concluded with a slightly teasing tone:

"Aren't the Shui Family's rules a bit strange? But they're not as bizarre as the Star Luo Imperial Family's."

Zhu Zhuqing silently processed this information, her gaze falling once more on the Jade Pendant at his waist, and asked in confusion:

"What practical use could such a Jade Pendant have besides its symbolic meaning? Could it be some kind of special Soul Tool?"
