I could have used the system's observation talent on Qing Ye a long time ago, but I never did. It's just that I felt I shouldn't doubt my first partner.
In the end, am I just making one mistake after another?
I looked up at the sky, the complexity in my eyes almost impossible to untangle.
Ye Qingxian stared at the latest sound transmission, falling into a long silence.
A problem she could never possibly solve.
Yet Ye Xiaoyao still chose to ask Qing Ye for help.
This went beyond the scope of cooperation and didn't fit Ye Xiaoyao's persona at all.
Therefore, Ye Qingxian decided to reply directly.
[I'm also powerless to help. How about you come stay at my Cave Mansion for a couple of days?]
Suddenly, she stopped again.
Inappropriate.
No matter what she replied now, it wouldn't be suitable.
Because the Junior Sister had already become suspicious, and anything she said wouldn't reduce that suspicion.
Ye Xiaoyao's naturally suspicious nature meant that nothing she said would be effective. Instead, by replying, she would prove she had been receiving the sound transmissions all along, trapping herself in an awkward situation where she'd constantly face questioning.
The first sentence could indeed get her out of this.
But don't forget that too much talk leads to mistakes. Speaking too much always creates flaws.
Ye Qingxian didn't want Ye Xiaoyao to know who Qing Ye was yet.
An accidental exposure of her alias at this moment would only create an infinitely negative effect, possibly even leading to Ye Xiaoyao completely cutting ties with her. The relationship, which had only recently begun to thaw, would vanish like smoke.
This was the only outcome Ye Qingxian did not want to see.
If Qing Ye is Ye Qingxian, then it would directly mean she had been deceiving Ye Xiaoyao all along.
What would Ye Xiaoyao think of that?
The Junior Sister was so sensitive; she would definitely start thinking—
This was just a childish game she'd made up out of boredom, essentially a way to mock and belittle her.
Because she could see Ye Xiaoyao's inherent insecurity, her stubbornness and pride stemmed from always being looked down upon.
Don't be fooled by Ye Xiaoyao's outwardly carefree attitude; she didn't care about others' jokes.
Those simply hadn't touched her sore spots.
Didn't Ye Qingxian's previous words already break through Ye Xiaoyao's defenses?
If Qing Ye's alias were revealed now, it would trigger a second breakdown immediately.
Ye Qingxian absolutely did not want to see her Junior Sister cry again. She began pacing back and forth in her room.
Qing Ye's alias could be exposed, but definitely not now.
Her favorability wasn't high enough yet. Exposing it now would bring nothing but harm.
The reason she created the Qing Ye alias was fundamentally to let Ye Xiaoyao know she wasn't a bad person. Ever since learning about future events, she wanted to use this alias to prove her resolve, to ensure the future wouldn't become a foregone conclusion.
Meanwhile.
I had been waiting by the sound transmission talisman for a long time, but the expected reply never came.
I blinked my beautiful red eyes, my face, about to throw a tantrum, stiffened slightly.
My large eyes gradually became bewildered.
The pent-up grievances and anger had nowhere to go, making me feel like I was being unreasonable.
I couldn't wait any longer. I picked up the talisman again and said:
[Are you in seclusion?]
[When you see this transmission, can you give me a reply?]
However, after a quarter of an hour, there was still no response.
I stomped my feet in anger, jumping up and down.
The feeling of being forcefully interrupted while casting a spell was unbearable.
My emotions were a little out of control. I didn't wait for the Heavenly Sword Peak's order issues in the coming days, deciding instead to adopt a simpler, more direct method.
[See this transmission, come find me immediately. We have a new cooperation.]
Direct Disciple's Cave Mansion.
Ye Qingxian looked at the beeping sound transmission talisman, already imagining a certain little loli on the other side, her hair standing on end and stomping her feet in her light pink room.
Wanting to meet her?
Ye Qingxian savored the meaning behind those words.
The Junior Sister is asking for a meeting now. Could it be that she's already certain that seeing me will allow her to expose or confirm Qing Ye's identity?
How could the Junior Sister be so sure?
Ye Qingxian asked herself about her disguise abilities. Even supreme experts at the Sovereign Realm wouldn't be able to see through them.
This involved her innate abilities.
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
So, where exactly did the problem arise?
Ye Qingxian knew that it was normal for Qing Ye's identity to be suspected.
After all, the Talisman she produced was the biggest flaw.
Ye Qingxian suddenly had a flash of inspiration, realizing that the Junior Sister shouldn't know the future.
Could it be that the Junior Sister has another special way, similar to knowing the future in advance, that also allows her to know a person's true identity?
If that's the case.
She couldn't continue using the Qing Ye alias and go see the Junior Sister without any preparation.
Whether it was true or not, she couldn't afford to gamble.
Ye Qingxian was considering whether to forcefully split off a clone.
In the light blue room, countless feathers suddenly fell.
A little girl, about six or seven years old, suddenly appeared before Ye Qingxian.
She was bathed in white light, with eighteen pairs of illusory wings behind her.
At this moment, she was curled up in the sky, with only a few strips of cloth wrapped around her body.
This phantom was Ye Qingxian's second form.
The legendary Thirty-Six-Winged Angelic God of Supreme Heaven.
A moment later, Ye Qingxian and the little angel merged again.
"No, my soul power is too strong; I can't cut off even a part of it."
Since that was the case.
Ye Qingxian casually waved her hand, and in a place far away, she directly hung a sign at the entrance of Qing Ye's Cave Mansion stating "In Seclusion for Three Months."
This should temporarily deal with the Junior Sister and allow her to find a solution.
"Sound Transmission Talisman."
"You should reply to me."
I lay on my side on the bed, hugging a large pillow.
My eyes were inexplicably filled with resentment.
It felt truly awful to have something weighing on my mind that I couldn't vent.
How could someone be left holding their breath, stuck in limbo?
Didn't you see that I'm practically turning into a resentful ghost?
If I were a cat.
I would definitely have my fur standing on end right now.
A week later, I received no transmission.
Two weeks later, I still received no transmission.
Three weeks, four weeks, I finally couldn't take it anymore.
"I can't hold back anymore!!"
I decisively got off the swing, changed into my loosest little dress, and planned to go out to verify the truth.
The order on Heavenly Sword Peak hadn't improved. Zhuge Yun was still like an idiot, always in a dark place, casting sinister glances.
Even though I was eight months pregnant, I couldn't sit still at home anymore and decided to go see for myself what Qing Ye's intentions were.
Did she remember or forget the promise she made with me? We had clearly agreed last time that she would come help me give birth.
Perhaps due to nearly a month of contemplation, the doubts in my heart had faded considerably.
The biggest reason for this.
Was that I simply didn't believe the Female Protagonist could predict all my predictions.
Do you understand the intelligence of a generation's Great Demon King?
What's the difference between this and having my intelligence rubbed into the ground right in front of me?
Arriving at Qing Ye's small Cave Mansion, I looked at the sign that had been hanging outside for a long time, weathered by wind and rain. It stated that I was in seclusion for three months. My already intelligent eyes went slightly blank for a few seconds, then I slowly reached out and caressed the decaying surface of the sign. The writing was indeed left a month ago.
"So that's how it is..."
"I was just overthinking things."
"Let me test Qing Ye one more time, and then look at the talent page. That should resolve any issues."
I let out a sigh of relief, exhaling deeply.
Stop messing around.
I knew it, how could I, Ye Xiaoyao, be so pathetic that no one cared if I lived or died? From beginning to end, only Ye Qingxian was willing to pay attention to me.
Time flew by, and another month passed.
The due date was drawing nearer.
I hadn't left my Cave Mansion in a long time, and had been waiting inside for contractions that could start at any moment.
The only person on Heavenly Sword Peak who might notice anything unusual was currently in deep seclusion. Heavenly Sword Venerable was attempting to break through to a legendary realm, so he could better suppress the future.
An old woman, shrouded in shadow, stooped as she stealthily infiltrated Heavenly Sword Peak's defensive array. Then, with eyes that were almost blood-red, she stared intently in one direction.
If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe they just changed the name!
