Qian Wanyu raised an eyebrow when she saw the two return in men's clothing. "Did you go out?"
Dongfang Minghui's face lit up at first, then fell. She felt she had been thoughtless earlier. She had yet to discuss becoming Thief-Hand's disciple with Seventh Sister and had no idea whether she would accept it.
"Yes, I took her out to see a few of Cloud Capital City's famous sights. Since she's already here, it would be a shame not to see them. Don't you agree, Minghui?" Xuanzhu said with a laugh.
She affectionately draped an arm around Dongfang Minghui's shoulders. Ever since accepting this junior sister, Xuanzhu had taken to slinging an arm around her regardless of the occasion.
Dragged into it by Xuanzhu, Dongfang Minghui could do nothing but give her a forced grin. Love Blossom had picked Zhaocai, after all, and she felt guilty.
For some reason, seeing the two huddled together so affectionately grated on Qian Wanyu.
She felt an urge to separate them immediately.

Qian Wanyu was studying Dongfang Minghui as well. After several days apart, Ninth Sister's aura had grown even gentler, drawing her closer.
“You achieved Advancement? Congratulations.”
Xuanzhu offered distracted congratulations and gave Qian Wanyu a meaningful look. But the other woman did not spare her a glance. All her attention was on Qian Minghui, her gaze so tender it seemed ready to melt.
They were sisters, right? This was the Qian Wanyu who would kill someone at the slightest disagreement, right?
Was she sure someone hadn't switched her out?
Why did something feel off?
"Princess Xuanzhu, thank you
