Hey, What Are You Doing?
Yun Yun, who had been trying to hold on, had her eyes redden again when she met Qin Yu's eyes.
But this time, it wasn't because of what had just happened in the main hall.
Instead, Yun Yun suddenly realized that she had grown up in the Misty Cloud Sect since she was a child, and so many years had passed.
She doesn't even have anyone to talk to within the sect?
In the end, the only person who could make her lower her guard and reveal her most vulnerable side was Qin Yu, a chat buddy she had only met a few times.
"Well..."
Qin Yu opened his mouth, feeling that it would be a disservice to the two of them being so close if he didn't say something.
But before he could think of something to say, Yun Yun suddenly leaned closer, her forehead resting on his shoulder, her black hair swaying in the wind, brushing against Qin Yu's neck and making him ticklish.
Yun Yun didn't speak, but leaned back for a while. When she looked up again, she seemed to have relaxed a lot.
Since she had already shown Qin Yu her most vulnerable side, Yun Yun decided to stop pretending.
In front of Qin Yu, she was no longer the aloof and dignified ( in Yun Yun's own eyes) Misty Cloud Sect Master, but just an ordinary woman who had been bullied and wanted to confide in a friend.
"Sect Master Yun..."
Are you sure you still want to call me that?
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering what was wrong with Yun Yun. Had she let loose? How could she actually say such things?
"Then... sister?"
After some thought, Qin Yu felt that although Yun Yun had become more open, she certainly didn't have deep romantic feelings for him yet.
The title "elder sister" is quite appropriate.
As Qin Yu had predicted, Yun Yun blushed slightly upon hearing the word "sister," and a hint of secret joy flashed in her eyes.
"Ahem, thank you, my dear brother."
To Qin Yu's astonishment, Yun Yun suddenly hugged him.
However, this hug was still somewhat reserved.
As soon as Qin Yu placed his hand on Yun Yun's waist, Yun Yun's body jolted as if she had been electrocuted, and she quickly pulled away.
"Um, I... it's normal for a sister to hug her brother, right?"
"Take it."
Yun Yun was trying to find a suitable reason for her actions when Qin Yu handed her a jade bottle the next second.
"What is it?"
"Nice one."
Yun Yun took the jade bottle blankly, opened it, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.
A golden pill lay quietly in the jade bottle, emitting a medicinal fragrance that Yun Yun was familiar with.
Emperor's Extreme Pill!
"Little brother, what you're doing..."
Yun Yun was familiar with Qin Yu's identity Sixth-Grade Alchemist, but wasn't it a bit too extravagant to offer him a Emperor's Extreme Pill so readily?
Even Gu He couldn't just give away the Emperor's Extreme Pill like that!
Is Qin Yu really that temperamental?
"We're all family, so there's no need for formalities. Just take the pill; I don't need it for the time being anyway."
Yun Yun pursed her lips. This younger brother... is quite interesting.
With the addition of her adopted sister Zi Yan, she suddenly felt less lonely.
"Then I'll accept it, little brother. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask."
Yun Yun is growing more and more fond of Qin Yu Qin Yu, and unconsciously compares him to a certain middle-aged man who follows her around all the time.
Both are Sixth-Grade Alchemist, so how come there's such a big difference between this person and Qin Yu?
Even among Sixth-Grade Alchemist, there are differences.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Sister Yun. Those elders are already in such a state, you're not going to let them off the hook, are you?"
Qin Yu kept a close eye on Yun Yun's expression. If Yun Yun still showed that hesitant look, he would leave immediately.
Just consider that "sister" and that Emperor's Extreme Pill as him being foolish and throwing money around.
"Ha, spare them?"
Fortunately, Yun Yun's performance did not disappoint Qin Yu.
Her cold snort sent a chill down Qin Yu's spine.
Never mess with a woman, no matter who you are.
"If they don't learn a lesson this time, I'll quit being the sect leader!"
Wow~ Sister is so cool!
Qin Yu's words made Yun Yun, who was originally furious, burst out laughing and playfully punched him.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
"Nothing much, just expressing my feelings."
After this exchange, the relationship between Yun Yun and Qin Yu suddenly became much closer.
Following Qin Yu's advice, Yun Yun decided to take the Emperor's Extreme Pill first before dealing with the elders.
"Little brother, are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you stay a few more days?"
Before taking the Emperor's Extreme Pill, Yun Yun timidly asked Qin Yu to stay.
Without Qin Yu present, Yun Yun always felt that she would lack some confidence.
This time, she was truly determined to let those elders know who the true sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect was.
"No problem, sister, you can focus on your breakthrough."
Qin Yu was also eager to see how Yun Yun would deal with these old fogies.
That scene must be amazing!
"Call..."
After entering the quiet room for cultivation, Yun Yun let out a long breath.
So much happened today, and thinking back on my past actions, I realize I'm practically a completely different person from the "she" I knew.
Is this her true self?
"Qin Yu..."
Looking at the Emperor's Extreme Pill in her palm, Yun Yun felt a surge of complex emotions.
She was quite certain that her feelings for Qin Yu were definitely not the kind of feelings one would have for a brother.
But Qin Yu's elusive nature left her truly at a loss as to how to proceed.
"Forget it, let's focus on breaking through first."
After a long while, Yun Yun forcibly dispelled the distracting thoughts in her mind and prepared to take the Emperor's Extreme Pill to break through her cultivation realm.
Several days later, in the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect, everyone from the Grand Elder Yun Leng to the lowest steward gathered.
It was simply because Yun Yun spoke up.
The deacons below didn't know what was going on, but Yun Leng and the others knew all too well.
"Elder, what should we do?"
The elders huddled together, discussing how to deal with the situation.
"Don't be afraid, at worst it's just admitting your mistake. This is in the main hall, Yun Yun won't go too far."
Now that things have come to this, Yun Leng can only console herself with this thought.
He still remembers clearly the look in Yun Yun's eyes from a few days ago.
Hopefully, Yun Yun has calmed down by now, otherwise, the rest of them will really have a hard time getting through this.
However, one thing Yun Leng could never understand was why Gu He failed to suppress Qin Yu Qin Yu.
Yun Yun: Of course it's because of me.
"Ahem, the sect leader has arrived."
Just as Yun Leng was in a daze, Yun Yun had already arrived in the main hall, and Yun Lei quickly reminded Yun Leng.
Qin Yu came with Yun Yun.
However, as soon as Qin Yu entered the main hall, he found a corner to stand in, and seemed a little...
excited?
"Hey, little brother, come here."
Just as Qin Yu was about to settle down and enjoy the show, Yun Yun suddenly called out to him.
All eyes in the hall instantly turned to the young man standing in the corner watching the show.
