Shuang Yue's Heaven-Defying Remarks to Me at the Flower Appreciation Banquet

After yesterday's events, I was feeling a bit down. Suddenly, I thought about the petty thieves.

The outer disciples had been much quieter these past few months.

It was as if someone had cleaned them up; no more petty thieves popping out to cause trouble.

This made my fingertips curl slightly.

I didn't tell Qing Ye about Zhuge Yun's suspicions.

There was no evidence, and there could be other reasons.

At a permanently assigned workstation, I activated the formation in the main hall. I decided to just live here from now on, to avoid the constant fear of returning to my own small dwelling.

"Junior Sister Xiao Yao, why aren't you in your Cave Mansion?"

An outer disciple, acting as a messenger, ran over, panting.

"Senior Sister Qingxian asked me to inform you to attend the Flower Appreciation Banquet."

"Senior Sister Qingxian also mentioned there will be delicious food, and Spirit Rice too."

How does this person already know what I like? It would be a waste not to eat it.

Another Flower Appreciation Banquet?

I don't understand why the Fairies in the Cultivation World always like appreciating flowers and boating.

Before even entering the banquet venue, I heard voices.

Ye Qingxian was still seated at the highest spot.

Before Ye Qingxian could speak, Shuang Yue jumped out, "Junior Sister Xiaoyao."

Then, she looked at me with a hopeful gaze.

"Come here," Ye Qingxian said.

Without a word, I walked over and sat next to Ye Qingxian, two seats away from Shuang Yue.

Shuang Yue kept staring at me expectantly.

Rarely, I didn't snap at Ye Qingxian, instead playing the role of a well-behaved quail.

Ever since I saw Ye Qingxian's second status panel last time, it had deeply impacted my young mind, making me toss and turn.

That "trash-talking little loli" had suddenly become quiet.

Ye Qingxian glanced sideways, smiling, and asked, "Why aren't you scolding me today?"

"..."

What do you mean, "not scolding you"? I'm not used to not scolding you?

What a weirdo, a lunatic. I pretended not to hear, focusing on being willfully blind and deaf. I deliberately turned my head and buried my face in my desk, pretending to be starving.

Ye Qingxian chuckled softly. A suddenly well-behaved Junior Sister was indeed very cute.

Seeing Shuang Yue constantly staring at the Cat Princess, Yue Wuhua became restless again. She subtly hooked Shuang Yue's pinky finger under the table. Shuang Yue, annoyed by Yue Wuhua's little gesture, simply reached out and forcefully slapped her hand away. A crisp snap echoed, quite loudly. Even I, who was waiting for food, heard it. Since they were very close, I immediately saw their slender fingers slightly entangled.

I froze, instinctively looking up, my eyes wide with exaggerated shock, staring at Yue Wuhua in front of me.

Then, I abruptly lowered my gaze, deeply concealing the profound shock in my eyes.

How could this be?

Isn't Yue Wuhua the female supporting character in the plot?

She'll eventually fall for the male protagonist and start a centuries-long rivalry with the female protagonist. Although she loses in the end, she doesn't perish.

She's considered a successful figure with a name and a story in the plot.

Currently, the male protagonist hasn't even appeared yet.

How could she be involved with her own Junior Sister so early?

Where did something go wrong...

I took a big gulp of fresh air.

I didn't doubt the authenticity of the plot; my head just hurt a little, and I couldn't think clearly no matter what.

Ever since entering the late stage of pregnancy, the frequent physical fatigue had significantly limited my brain's intelligence, making me less sharp most of the time.

Ye Qingxian, who had been secretly observing her Junior Sister, wouldn't have missed the shock and daze in her eyes at that moment.

Interesting.

Was it... shock?

From the ambiguity between Yue Wuhua and Shuang Yue.

So, the Junior Sister also knew about Yue Wuhua's future.

But this future had also deviated.

And the future the Junior Sister knew involved Yue Wuhua's romantic life.

Doesn't this mean that this "future" isn't set in stone?

Junior Sister seemed to be hearing this for the first time.

If that was the case, how could she be sure that she would harm herself?

Ye Qingxian calmly drank her tea, having already decided to question her directly next time.

Just a single glance could lead to countless deductions.

No wonder Junior Sister always complained that Ye Qingxian could even guess the color of her panties, claiming her wisdom was unparalleled in the world.

Yue Wuhua and Shuang Yue's secret entanglement was still ongoing.

Shuang Yue seemed to be angry and refused to let Yue Wuhua hold her hand.

Yue Wuhua didn't care, and simply picked up Shuang Yue's legs, placing them on her own lap.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yue Wuhua's bold move caused Shuang Yue's face to instantly turn red, wishing she could bury her head under the table immediately.

She liked Senior Sister, but, but...

Ye Qingxian's lips twitched. Just as she was about to say what unreliable knowledge this was, how could it possibly make a disobedient Junior Sister shut up, she didn't expect that Shuang Yue, who had been restless moments ago, would suddenly become countless times more obedient. As if afraid of others discovering her little actions under the table, she didn't dare to make a sound when speaking.

Ye Qingxian was completely dumbfounded.

Wait, this move actually worked.

However--

It seemed a bit too intimate.

I hadn't even recovered from the shock when I saw the private affection between the two of them.

Hey, this is in public.

What exactly are you two doing???

Can't you pay a little attention!!!

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe it was just renamed!

Am I, Ye Xiaoyao, also a part of your play?

Ever since I was stimulated by the Female Protagonist's status panel last time, I've been countless times more obedient these past few days. I could only pretend I didn't see it and immediately picked up the juice on the table, intending to drink a mouthful to calm my nerves.

Who knew Shuang Yue would look at me with a face flushed with embarrassment.

"Junior Sister Xiaoyao. It's not what you think."

Clang--

The juice I was holding fell onto the table.

She was explaining to me.

Everyone's attention was drawn.

I completely panicked.

Wait a minute, who can tell me why I'm involved in this?

Don't, don't talk nonsense.

"You... Listen to me explain." Shuang Yue was already very young, otherwise she wouldn't be the Junior Sister of Bright Moon Peak. She was only slightly older than me, and her speech was a bit incoherent, "I didn't start dating someone else without your permission. It was she, it was Senior Sister, who insisted on putting my legs..."

This explanation was worse than no explanation; the more she explained, the more it sounded like a ball of black mud.

A few well-known Fairies nearby had also noticed Yue Wuhua's actions and had simply pretended not to see.

Hearing this, they were still dumbfounded.

Wait, the information contained in this sentence is a bit astonishing.

You need permission from someone else to date.

Then what is the relationship between Ye Xiaoyao and Shuang Yue?

Some more fashionable young Fairies imagined a role-playing scenario that young people liked, where Yue Wuhua was a victim who was only allowed to date when ordered.

Although this imagination was absurd, it seemed to be the only explanation. The third party seemed to hold a more important position in the relationship.

Everyone's ears rang as if struck by thunder.

Yue Wuhua's face grew darker and darker.

Some Fairies were already covering their ears, unable to listen.

They really couldn't listen. Would they be silenced later?

Wuwuwu, Shuang Yue stopped talking now and simply lay her face on the table, pretending to be dead.

It's over.

I accidentally spoke my mind. Junior Sister Xiaoyao isn't the Cat Princess yet, she definitely won't understand what I'm saying. Won't she think I'm crazy?

How can we be a family now?

Cat, Cat Princess again, Yue Wuhua gritted her teeth, staring at the pink and white-haired little loli in front of her, almost crushing the table.

From any angle, she had nothing to do with the creature described by Shuang Yue.

This—is clearly a human!

A bold idea appeared in her mind. Yue Wuhua suddenly thought of other scenarios the fairies could imagine.

This fairy, who had just fallen deeply in love, was struck by lightning in an instant.

The change happened too suddenly, I was a bit stunned, my mouth opened and closed, and I couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal several times.

Hey, hey, hey, what are you all doing.

Senior Sister Shuangyue, you are a good person, but you can't spread rumors like this.

I'm still a maiden, you know.

What you're saying is so strange, how will I be able to hold my head up in front of the other fairies from now on.

Ye Qingxian was equally dumbfounded, staring at her Junior Sister, trying to discern the truth from the little loli's face.

This sentence was no less than a thunderclap out of the blue, instantly igniting countless wild imaginations. What kind of relationship would require one to seek the consent of a fellow disciple before falling in love?

Only Yue Wuhua knew the truth, knowing what her Junior Sister was talking about. She was talking about Ye Xiaoyao being her family, and that falling in love definitely required family consent.

However, she was already thinking in the wrong direction, let alone the others who were unaware.

The main reason is that the origin of this theory is too outrageous, making it difficult for people to believe it immediately.

Why is it suddenly a bit cold.

Ye Qingxian, why are you looking at me.

I shrank back again, and simply lay on the table with Shuang Yue on either side, playing dead.

How am I supposed to answer this.

If I directly deny it, and so many people are listening, wouldn't that hurt Shuang Yue's self-esteem even more?

I'll just say nothing.

It doesn't matter, I'm not a good person anyway.

Besides, if it's Senior Sister Shuangyue, since she said it, she must have her own difficulties. It should be fine to help her admit it.

She's already a single mother with a cub in her belly, what's she afraid of with one more COS character?

Ye Qingxian looked at the two little girls on the table, who looked remarkably alike in their poses.

This special tacit understanding maintained in silence, without a doubt, exposed the fact that the two had known each other for a long time.

More clues were gradually pieced together. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called out to Yue Wuhua last time and come to Heavenly Sword Peak for revenge without a word.

It was precisely this strange tacit understanding, which they could possess and maintain without many words, that made Yue Wuhua's defenses crumble slightly.

Wherever her gaze fell, Ye Qingxian's emotions also showed a subtle change.

In the hall of the flower appreciation banquet, in the world that belonged to Shuang Yue.

It seemed that only the Cat Princess, whom she mentioned every day, remained. Whether it was Yue Wuhua, her theoretical beloved, or Ye Qingxian, her nominal Senior Sister, both were currently isolated from this world.

And in this world, only Ye Xiaoyao seemed to be able to enter and exit freely.

Yue Wuhua's expression grew increasingly unsightly, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

Ye Qingxian looked up, her gaze accidentally sweeping over.

Yue Wuhua's expression was extremely unpleasant, her face even as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Perhaps it was shared misfortune.

Perhaps it was some other deeper reason.

At this moment, Ye Qingxian also inexplicably felt a bit uncomfortable.

What Shuang Yue and Junior Sister just said...

Ye Qingxian's gaze fixed ahead, looking at a certain pink and white-haired loli who was pretending to be dead, feigning that she had heard nothing and participated in nothing just now.

She could also feel a slight discomfort.

Ye Xiaoyao was also her Junior Sister.

Whether it was kinship, friendship, or even the bond between fellow disciples, a trace of possessiveness would arise. Whom should she tell?
