Chapter 72: Ning Feixuan’s Good Master
The concealment magic treasure on Ning Feixuan was given to her by Wang Qingchu. At that time, Ning Feixuan didn’t quite understand why Wang Qingchu had given her this item. Of course… Ning Feixuan actually still didn’t understand now.
Could it be that Master is hiding some secret?
But under the Ancestor’s nose, what secret can be hidden?
Ning Feixuan knew that Wang Qingchu had woken up, but she hadn’t had time to pay her respects yet. But since Wang Qingchu had asked her to go to her master’s place, Ning Feixuan would go first.
It wasn’t that Ning Feixuan suspected that Ning Mengru was hiding something, but she just simply… wanted to gain some favorability with Wang Qingchu. After all, this was Mingyan’s sister… and by sneaking in, her master also couldn’t discover her. This was guaranteed by Ancestor Wang Qingchu. Besides, Ning Feixuan didn’t think she would discover anything…
My master has been gentle and upright all her life. What can she hide?
With that, Ning Feixuan hid herself and secretly sneaked into the Queen Mother’s Hall.
But after waiting for a long while, Ning Feixuan still hadn’t seen her master. She was a little confused and was about to go out, but another familiar person appeared in her divine sense: Yue Ningshuang!
Senior Sister? Is Senior Sister also here to find Master?
Ning Feixuan’s feelings for this senior sister were actually a bit complicated. After all… Yue Ningshuang and Mingyan were together, and Ning Feixuan… Of course, she didn’t really resent this senior sister. After all, this senior sister seemed to have been in closed-door cultivation all along. And after she came out, Yue Ningshuang probably didn’t know that Ning Feixuan liked Mingyan. It was understandable that the two of them had gotten together. Ning Feixuan was a reasonable person and couldn’t possibly blame Yue Ningshuang for this matter.
Besides, her senior sister must be more likable than her. Yue Ningshuang had liked Mingyan from the beginning, not like Ning Feixuan, who had rejected him when he liked her, and then was disliked after she had fallen in love with him. Yue Ningshuang was not a loser like her; she had also given a lot. It was understandable that she was loved by Mingyan.
Ning Feixuan was not sour…
Alright, she was still a little bit sour. After all, seeing her senior sister being so intimate with Mingyan, how could Ning Feixuan be indifferent?
She didn’t know how many times she had hoped that her senior sister’s position was hers. But she also understood that she could only try to change Mingyan’s opinion herself, not snatch her senior sister’s position; she couldn’t snatch it anyway.
Besides, Yue Ningshuang was even willing to help her return to Mingyan’s side. Being so good to her, even if Ning Feixuan was envious of her relationship with Mingyan and felt a little bit of sourness, she would not be jealous or anything.
Ning Feixuan did not show herself. Just as she thought that it was Ning Mengru who had called Yue Ningshuang over, she found Yue Ningshuang walking inside with a sad face.
What’s wrong with Senior Sister? Why is she so troubled?
Ning Feixuan thought for a while and followed her lightly.
The magic treasure Wang Qingchu had given her could make her completely invisible to divine sense, but it was not so easy to be invisible in reality, especially in front of a Saint. Ning Feixuan could only suppress her own voice as much as possible and follow lightly, because she felt that her master might be inside…
After Ning Feixuan had followed her in, she found that Yue Ningshuang was still walking deeper inside. This made Ning Feixuan a little curious, because she knew that behind the Queen Mother’s Hall was the statue of the West Emperor Mother where the Emperor-level artifact was stored. That place could only be reached through the Queen Mother’s Hall. Could it be that her master was there?
Ning Feixuan was puzzled but continued to follow.
Yue Ningshuang was a little absent-minded and walked all the way in, not discovering Ning Feixuan.
In fact, if Yue Ningshuang had known that someone was following her, with her cultivation, she would have been able to discover Ning Feixuan through some details. But the current Yue Ningshuang was thinking about a problem and had no mind to care about other things. She walked all the way to the statue of the West Emperor Mother where the Emperor-level artifact was stored and reached out to take it down.
Senior Sister took down the Emperor-level artifact? Ning Feixuan was a little surprised. She didn’t see her master around. Where was Senior Sister going with the Emperor-level artifact?
Ning Feixuan watched the situation unfold and then saw something that she couldn’t accept at all.
She slowly widened her eyes, her mouth agape, and watched in shock as her senior sister, Yue Ningshuang, gradually turned into her master’s appearance…?
Huh?!!
She, she didn’t see wrong, did she? How did Senior Sister become Master?!
Ning Feixuan was now only the Yaochi Holy Maiden. Although she had a replica of the Eight Treasures Glazed Vase, a replica of an Emperor-level weapon could only be a replica. It was very fragile and could not display the heavenly might of the vase, nor did it have its strange abilities.
Only after she inherited the position of the Queen Mother of the West could she come into contact with the real Eight Treasures Glazed Vase. So, the current Ning Feixuan simply did not know that the Emperor-level weapon actually had this function.
She watched as Yue Ningshuang turned into her master, Ning Mengru. Her Divine Gate Realm cultivation also suddenly became unfathomable, clearly far surpassing her own. This made Ning Feixuan’s mind descend into chaos for a moment.
What, what is this situation? Senior Sister? Master? Is it Senior Sister disguised as Master? Or is it Master disguised as Senior Sister?
Ning Feixuan’s mouth was wide open as she looked at Ning Mengru in disbelief.
Ning Mengru did not discover Ning Feixuan’s existence. After she had changed back to her real body, she walked back. Ning Feixuan recovered from her shock and quickly followed Ning Mengru out. But Ning Mengru had not walked a few steps when she suddenly stopped, her face showing a hint of helplessness. She turned back again. Ning Feixuan’s heart was extremely nervous. She quickly hid and was thus not discovered…
Of course, this was actually because Wang Qingchu was helping her cover her tracks. Otherwise, even with the magic treasure Wang Qingchu had given her, with such a large gap in their strength, Ning Mengru would have discovered Ning Feixuan long ago.
Ning Feixuan then watched as Ning Mengru turned back, took down the Eight Treasures Glazed Vase again, and once more turned into Yue Ningshuang’s appearance. This time, she did not put the Emperor-level artifact back but took it with her. Then, she left the statue of the West Emperor Mother and returned to the Queen Mother’s Hall.
Ning Feixuan quietly followed Yue Ningshuang and found that after she had returned to the main hall, she had directly teleported and disappeared from her sight. Ning Feixuan blinked, roughly guessed her destination, and so, she simply rushed directly to Yue Ningshuang’s residence.
After a little time, Ning Feixuan finally arrived at Yue Ningshuang’s residence. She quietly stepped into the room, her heart beating fast. But as soon as she entered, she saw Mingyan and Yue Ningshuang kissing…
Seeing this scene, it would be a lie to say that Ning Feixuan was not hurt. Although she had long known about the relationship between her senior sister and Mingyan, to see the two of them kissing with her own eyes was still like being stabbed in the heart.
Not to mention, just now, Ning Feixuan had also seen that strange sight…
Senior Sister had turned into Master’s appearance before…
Ning Feixuan’s heart was in a mess, and she had no mind to sort it out. She just watched Mingyan and her senior sister kiss, her heart aching with sadness.
At this time, Wang Qingchu’s voice sounded again. “Yue Ningshuang does not actually exist, Feixuan.”
Only then did Ning Feixuan come back to her senses and replied bitterly, “Then Senior Sister…”
“You should have seen it, right? Who your senior sister really is,” Wang Qingchu said softly.
“…” Ning Feixuan had indeed seen it. That was her master, Ning Mengru. But she did not dare to believe that she was her master. How could she be Master? If she was Master, then what was her relationship with Mingyan?
If it were her senior sister, it would be fine if she didn’t know that Ning Feixuan liked Mingyan. It was completely understandable that they had gotten together. Ning Feixuan would not blame her for anything, nor did she have the right to. But her master clearly knew that Ning Feixuan liked Mingyan. She… how could she be like this with Mingyan?!
Ning Feixuan was unwilling to believe that that was her master…
“Is it… Senior Sister turned into Master’s… appearance?” Ning Feixuan asked in a low voice.
“Think about it carefully. The origin of this senior sister of yours. Think about it seriously,” Wang Qingchu continued. “You actually already have the answer in your heart. Why don’t you dare to admit it?”
The origin of my senior sister… Ning Feixuan pursed her lips, her heart a little bitter. Thinking about it carefully, her senior sister’s origin was only accepted by her because it was endorsed by Wang Qingchu.
Before, Ning Feixuan simply did not know that she had a senior sister. She had been wondering why she had suddenly gotten an extra senior sister, when she had not heard any news about it before…
And, this senior sister seemed a little strange in every way… one was her strength. If her senior sister’s strength was about the same as hers, how could the position of Yaochi Holy Maiden have fallen to her?
Thinking about it carefully, it was full of loopholes. Before, Wang Qingchu had said this was her senior sister, and Ning Feixuan had believed it. Her master had also said this was her senior sister, so she naturally would not doubt it…
So, this senior sister in front of her, was she really… Master?
Why would she do this? Didn’t she know Ning Feixuan liked Mingyan? She clearly knew! But behind Ning Feixuan’s back, she had changed her identity to get involved with Mingyan, and even kissed him… could it be that they had already done everything?
Was this how a master should be? Ning Feixuan bit her cherry lips, extremely aggrieved. You and he are a generation apart! He calls you Aunt Ning. But to make him accept you, you even went to great lengths to change your identity to make Mingyan fall in love with you!
Do you still have any dignity as the Queen Mother of the West?! How can you be so shameless!
Ning Feixuan suddenly remembered that “Yue Ningshuang” had once told her that her own posture was not low enough…
No wonder she would say that… to make Mingyan fall in love with her, she could even change to another identity, completely disregarding her propriety and shame as an elder. Her own master, how could she be this kind of person?
And, Ancestor Wang Qingchu had also coaxed her at that time, saying this was her senior sister… but Ning Feixuan felt wronged and couldn’t say anything, not daring to blame Wang Qingchu…
Watching Mingyan and her master, who was under the identity of “Yue Ningshuang,” embrace and kiss, Ning Feixuan’s eyes grew dim. She silently turned around and left this place.
She couldn’t watch anymore… she felt she had been betrayed…
She had thought that her master had always been supporting her. But it turned out that her master and Mingyan had gotten together…
Is this how you support me?
Ning Feixuan, who had left Yue Ningshuang’s residence, returned all the way to the Queen Mother’s Hall. She stood here silently, waiting for her master to return.
The thought of those two possibly doing who-knows-what after she had left made Ning Feixuan’s heart ache…
If Yue Ningshuang were really Yue Ningshuang, then Ning Feixuan would have nothing to say. Because her senior sister had indeed won Mingyan’s affection, and her senior sister simply did not know that Ning Feixuan liked Mingyan. All this could only be blamed on herself for not seizing the opportunity.
But since Yue Ningshuang was her master, Ning Feixuan’s heart felt completely unbalanced…
Ning Mengru clearly knew that Ning Feixuan liked Mingyan, yet she even clung to him. In order for Mingyan not to reject her because of their seniority, she had even specially changed her identity…
Using the experience she had gotten from her… that’s right. Before, her master had also borrowed her Mandarin Duck Mirror. She had said it was for research… research? Ning Feixuan suddenly came to her senses. Her master had taken the Mandarin Duck Mirror to find Mingyan, right?
She had initially said that with her cultivation, she would not be affected, but later she had taken the Mandarin Duck Mirror to find Mingyan, and had gotten together with him using Ning Feixuan’s own mirror…
The more Ning Feixuan thought, the colder her heart became…
Did her master not have the slightest bit of shame as an elder? To so easily lie in the same bed with Mingyan…?
Thinking of how submissive “Yue Ningshuang” was in front of Mingyan… Master, how could you, just by changing your face, act so fawningly…?
Ning Feixuan squatted down, hugged her knees, and really wanted to cry her heart out…
Mingyan didn’t want her, and her master had also betrayed her. She, this Yaochi Holy Maiden… how could she be so miserable?
Or was it that she had brought all this on herself?
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Feixuan looked up. There were some tear stains on her face. She looked up and saw Ning Mengru standing in the distance…
Ning Feixuan’s eyes were red. She stood up and looked at Ning Mengru.
“Feixuan? What’s wrong with you?” Ning Mengru looked at Ning Feixuan in surprise, quickly walked over, supported her, and asked with concern.
Just now, Ning Mengru’s mouth had been numbed from Mingyan’s kiss, and she had almost been carried to bed by him. If it weren’t for Wang Qingchu suddenly calling Mingyan away, Ning Mengru would have been worried that her chastity would not be preserved…
If she were to resist, Mingyan would naturally not be her opponent. But if she really resisted… wouldn’t her identity be exposed again? Then what would her image in Mingyan’s heart become? In the future, she would probably have no face to see Mingyan…
So, Ning Mengru was a little fortunate, but also a little anxious. If there was no more progress between Mingyan and Ning Feixuan, then it would be troublesome.
“Master…” Ning Feixuan looked at Ning Mengru mournfully and called out softly.
“What’s wrong with you?” Ning Mengru checked Ning Feixuan’s body with her spiritual energy and found that there was nothing wrong. She couldn’t help but sigh in relief. But Ning Feixuan’s mental state was obviously a little off, so she still couldn’t help but ask.
“…Master… is there nothing you want to say to me?” Ning Feixuan asked mournfully.
Hearing this, Ning Mengru’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. What does she mean? Why is Feixuan suddenly asking this?
But she blinked and said with a puzzled look, “What is there to say? I don’t understand what you mean…”
Seeing her playing dumb and not wanting to admit it, Ning Feixuan bit her lip tightly. She really wanted to tell her master that she had seen everything: how she was held in Mingyan’s arms and kissed, and how she had responded with enthusiasm…!
But the words were on the tip of her tongue, yet Ning Feixuan couldn’t say them. She was afraid, afraid that her relationship with her master would become strange…
