Travel: Imperial Capital Arc (Twenty-Seven): A Trip to the Great Wall (Part Two)

In the eyes of Aemeath and the others, the addition of Jinhsi and Heartfox, the two new members, undoubtedly added two more forces to the camp to defeat Xiao Mowang.

But at the same time, some girls haven't even gotten a ticket yet and are still worried about it.

Yangyang leaned against the city wall with a worried expression, gazing absently at the distant, layered mountains, occasionally glancing at Aemeath and the others walking ahead, chatting and laughing.

But in any case, her gaze would eventually fall on Hajiling, who was standing among the beautiful girls, chatting and laughing.

"Ha..." Yangyang sighed softly, then looked away, deciding to avoid seeing it altogether.

"What's wrong?" Suisui walked over with light steps. "Isn't today a day for us to have fun? Why do you look so melancholy, Yangyang?"

"Oh, nothing, sister. I just thought the scenery here was so beautiful that I couldn't help but get me captivated." Yangyang told a lie casually.

"Your lie is so obvious that even that silly girl Lynae can see through it, yet you still think you can fool your older sister?" Suisui looked at her younger sister with a disappointed expression, and gently tapped her head with her folding fan. "If the scenery here is really as beautiful as you say, why do you focus so much attention on Brother Ling?"

Yangyang didn't reply for a moment, but Suisui took in all the worries on her face. No one knows a sister better than her, and she knew perfectly well that Yangyang was having a hard time.

The two sisters, Yang Sui, stood by the city wall for a long time, neither of them thinking of speaking first. They just stared at the distant mountains in a daze.

"Sister... aren't you feeling any pain at all?" After a long while, Yangyang asked her older sister softly.

"What's wrong? Are you worried that I'll end up like you, heartbroken over matters of love?" Yangyang Suisui's lips curled into a gentle smile.

"After all, Xiao Yu is surrounded by more and more girls. If we don't do something soon, I'm afraid..."

"Look at what you're saying! Do you think that Brother Ling will forget his old love once he has a new one?"

"I don't want to have this worry, but..."

Yangyang's expression grew even more melancholy, and her voice began to tremble, as if she were about to turn her sorrow into tears and fall down her cheeks at any moment.

Seeing her younger sister's anxious and uncertain expression, Suisui gently patted her head twice to comfort her.

"Do you think it's possible that if you were willing to take the initiative, you could at least be 80% sure you'd win him over on the spot, if not 100% certain?"

If Jinhsi's strategist is Changli, then Yangyang's strategist is Suisui. In order to help Yangyang win over her beloved, she doesn't mind having a psychological analysis of Xiao Ling with Yangyang.

"But he seems so kind to everyone..."

"That's because that's all he can do," Suisui said softly. "Think about it, how would you feel if he actually took action and confessed his feelings to one of the girls in this family?"

"Hmm... While it's understandable, it's certain that I'd feel uncomfortable..." Yangyang answered truthfully after a moment's thought.

"That's right." Suisui snapped her fingers. "Even Dania and Brother Ling, who were with him from the very beginning, only won him over after she took the initiative to come to him. In other words, he's giving everyone a fair chance to compete, and he'll take responsibility for it."

"It's a good thing you feel bad about this; it means you're now aware of the potential for crisis. Remember the prize we won in that game?"

"Sister, are you referring to the prize that Xiao Yu set up for the winner of that pillow fight?"

"That's right." Suisui nodded happily. "This reward is your opportunity. As for me, he still owes me a promise, so I'm not worried at all."

"What agreement?" Yangyang asked, puzzled.

"I'll keep it a secret for now, and I'll tell you when the time is right."

Just as the two sisters were chatting enthusiastically, a certain saintess suddenly intervened.

"Sister Yangyang and Sister Suisui seem to be talking about something interesting?" Cartethyia asked with an innocent smile. "Can I join them?"

Yangyang was still hesitant about this sudden request, but Suisui immediately sensed the opportunity hidden behind it.

"Of course I don't mind," Suisui said with a smile, "But you have to offer me some valuable information in exchange for this opportunity, right?"

"Valuable intelligence..." Cartethyia pondered for a while before her eyes suddenly lit up. "I do have some information that you two would both find very interesting—about the final stop of this journey."

"Oh? Tell me, where are we going for our last stop?"

"Qiongzhou, I've heard from Righteous One that it has many beaches and scenic spots, making it the perfect last stop for this summer vacation."

"Qiongzhou... let me check..." Yangyang was very efficient and immediately began searching for relevant information. "Indeed, as you said, Qiongzhou is world-famous for its beach attractions."

"So, when it comes to beaches, what's the first thing that comes to mind? I don't need to say more, right?" Suisui looked at the two of them meaningfully.

"Swimsuits!" the two answered in unison.

"That's right, so we can start preparing now. We should use this last bit of time in the Imperial Capital to pick out a swimsuit that will definitely catch Brother Ling's eye." Suisui opened her folding fan to cover the mischievous smile on her lips. "If we're really unsure, we can ask Miss Xiao Xue or Miss Xiao Ji; they might have some unique insights."

"Hmm... but I still feel it's not safe enough." Yangyang still had some lingering worry. "What we can think of, others can definitely think of too. At that time, what should we...?"

"Actually, I have an even more radical method here. I wonder if you guys would be willing to try it?" Cartethyia's mischievous idea is forming. jpg

"Please feel free to speak," Suisui readily agreed.

"Then come closer, I'll explain the plan to you both in detail."

So, the three beautiful girls' heads were huddled together—well, not really, because Cartethyia was shorter than Yangyang and Suisui.

However, that didn't matter. In any case, after the three of them discussed for a while, Yangyang was the first to break down. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were full of shyness, and her expression carried a hint of resistance.

"What's wrong Yangyang? I think Cartethyia's plan is highly feasible!" Suisui said with a smile that didn't fade.

"But... taking advantage of someone in distress... I still can't accept that!" Yangyang shook her head vigorously twice.

"I have to state a very cruel fact, Sister Yangyang," Cartethyia added with an innocent smile, delivering the final blow, "While you're still feeling ashamed for taking advantage of someone in distress, Aemeath and the others are already itching to kick you to the curb!"

Yangyang was puzzled.

The Yangyang stopped working.

Yangyang cried out in surprise.

"Ha?!!"
