Her tone was sincere, as if she were genuinely worried about the health of the Immortal Ziyang.
The system exclaimed, "[She's such a fake, Host. You know, she fell in love with Mo Feng at first sight. She's the only one of Mo Feng 'Mo Feng women who truly loves him, and also Mo Feng first mistress. Their relationship started a long time ago, but she can still act like nothing's wrong when she's with Immortal Ziyang.]"
The Immortal Ziyang lowered his eyes slightly and took a sip of hot tea.
Xia Aoyu was already tense all over.
What did she just hear?
What is that sound?
How do I know so much?
Can Ziyang hear me?
She stiffened her neck and turned her head to look at the Immortal Ziyang.
But then he saw the Immortal Ziyang drinking tea with a relaxed expression, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She knew she should leave as soon as possible, but her worry for her lover overcame all reason.
She gritted her teeth and poured a cup of tea for Immortal Ziyang. "Uncle-Master, how is Brother Mo Feng...?"
The Immortal Ziyang looked up at her.
Xia Aoyu immediately looked away guiltily, not daring to meet her gaze.
"He's alright." Immortal Ziyang suddenly chuckled. "Junior Master's Niece/Nephew, is there anything you want to say to me?"
Xia Aoyu immediately shook her head, "No, I just came to see you, Uncle-Master."
"Really not?"
For a fleeting moment, Xia Aoyu felt as if she had been completely seen through by the Immortal Ziyang.
Can she hear that sound too?
Li Zi rested her chin on her hand, staring at Xia Aoyu, chatting with the system in her mind.
[System, it seems everyone else is like this too, getting involved with their godmother's dao companion while still acting like nothing's wrong with my godmother. Why did you only target her?]
The system said, "[This Xia Aoyu is different. She and your godmother have been good friends for many years. Others only date Mo Feng for thrills, but Xia Aoyu has genuine feelings for him. Moreover, she teamed up with Mo Feng to get a lot of good stuff from your godmother. Actually, if she had spoken to your godmother directly, your godmother might have even helped her out.]"
A hint of bitterness crept into the smile of the Immortal Ziyang.
She really knows how to help others achieve their goals.
She didn't have much affection for Mo Feng, but she had a very good relationship with Xia Aoyu.
They have known each other for hundreds of years, have been to the Secret Realm together more than eighty times, and have saved each other's lives.
Giving up a friendship of hundreds of years for a man is really not worth it.
Ever since discovering their affair, Immortal Ziyang has been waiting for Xia Aoyu to confess.
Unfortunately, she hasn't said it yet.
When Immortal Ziyang looked up, he saw Xia Aoyu glancing at Mo Feng's room out of the corner of her eye, and he immediately felt a little bored.
She casually tossed the sunflower seed shells onto the table, her tone turning colder, "He's lying inside, probably already awake. Go see him if you want."
Xia Aoyu jumped to her feet, then realized her haste might arouse suspicion, so she explained, "Senior Uncle, I had something to attend to, so I was in a bit of a rush..."
The Immortal Ziyang didn't pursue the matter, simply waving his hand, "Go."
Xia Aoyu was about to leave in a hurry when Li Zi suddenly stood up with his tea in hand and bumped right into Xia Aoyu.
The tea in the teacup was poured all over her.
She stood in front of Xia Aoyu, bowed deeply, and shouted, "I'm sorry."
Xia Aoyu was eager to see her lover; her heart had already wandered off. She frowned and made a Cleansing Body Spell, saying, "Be more careful next time."
Li Zi stopped her again, her eyes clear and bright. "Senior, I did something wrong and apologized to you. What about you? Shouldn't you also apologize to your godmother?"
Upon hearing Li Zi's crisp voice, Xia Aoyu's first reaction was nervousness and unease.
That's the sound she heard!
The little girl in front of me knows everything about her!
"Are you sick?!" Xia Aoyu's heart pounded, and she shouted sharply, her voice laced with bravado, "What did I do wrong that I need to apologize? You bitch! You're so young and you're already spouting nonsense!"
She raised her hand high, ready to slap Li Zi across the face.
Li Zi wanted to dodge, but she felt herself locked in place by an invisible force, unable to move.
This is the pressure from the strong!
But the slap didn't land on her face; the Immortal Ziyang, with a gloomy face, blocked the slap.
This was the first time that the Immortal Ziyang had truly become angry.
Her hair moved without wind, exuding a murderous aura, and a chill spread outwards.
His eyes, as black as ink, were unfathomable. This murderous intent, like a venomous scorpion, silently crept into the heart, filling one with fear and dread.
"Xia Aoyu, are you going to lay a hand on my goddaughter?"
"I..."
Faced with such a cold, soul-devouring gaze, Xia Aoyu was momentarily terrified.
Li Zi, hiding behind the Immortal Ziyang, peeked out and whispered, "Senior, why are you so angry? I meant you stepped on my godmother's foot just now. You should apologize. Why are you so upset?"
The Immortal Ziyang had no more patience to maintain the facade of peace.
With a flick of her sleeve, she sent Xia Aoyu flying, his body crashing uncontrollably into the ancient tree in the center of the courtyard.
Xia Aoyu groaned, clutched her chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Immortal Ziyang's eyes were sharp. "Go back and think carefully about why you should apologize to me. If you can't figure it out, don't come see me again. Get out!"
Xia Aoyu opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately couldn't utter a word. She only managed a bitter smile and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Roll!"
Li Zi gritted her teeth in hatred, [If my godmother and Mo Feng divorce, it would only benefit this woman. Seeing that pair of adulterers living happily ever after, I truly hate it.]
