Two Women at Odds

Xie Tianxiao noticed and heard Ya Fei's sudden way of addressing him, as well as the dimness in Yun Yun's expression.

However, he did not explain much. He merely smiled and replied to Ya Fei, "My lady is right. But my lady, aren't you going to show me your residence in the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Ya Fei froze slightly, then understood that Xie Tianxiao did not wish to linger here. She then said, "Sure, but Sister Yun Yun, don't blame me for playing hostess in your stead."

As Ya Fei spoke, she looked toward Yun Yun beside her.

"No, not at all. Sister Ya Fei can treat the Misty Cloud Sect as her own home."

Yun Yun came back to her senses and hurriedly replied.

She had actually lost her composure first over the relationship between Queen Medusa and Tianxiao, and within her own Misty Cloud Sect at that. That was truly inappropriate.

Yun Yun sighed inwardly, but her face regained its usual calm.

Seeing this, Ya Fei smiled faintly and led the way ahead.

Xie Tianxiao, meanwhile, grabbed Yun Yun's jade-like hand. Amid her stunned gaze, he pulled her along after Ya Fei.

Queen Medusa, standing on Xie Tianxiao's other side, maintained her noble and elegant bearing from beginning to end. She seemed entirely unconcerned, even somewhat disdainful.

The four of them wandered through the Misty Cloud Sect for a while before Ya Fei led them to a quiet courtyard.

It was adjacent to Yun Yun's private chambers, with ornamental rockeries, pavilions, towers, and all sorts of flowers and trees. The scenery was pleasant, and the surroundings beautiful.

"Tianxiao, this is the place Sister Yun Yun prepared for me. What do you think?"

Ya Fei asked with a radiant smile.

"Yes, it suits you well."

Xie Tianxiao nodded slightly.
