Chapter 95: The Harmonious and Loving Pair
Why is no one talking?
Su Yan felt the stiff atmosphere in the room and was a little puzzled. After thinking about it carefully, he figured it was because they weren’t familiar with each other yet.
“Uh, I just remembered that I haven’t watered the spiritual herbs yet. You two sit here. I’ll be right back!”
Su Yan wanted to leave the two of them some time alone to get to know each other better. They were both girls; they should have a lot of common topics.
As Su Yan pushed the door and went out, the room fell silent.
Lin Qingyue looked at the wisps of green smoke rising from the teacup before her and couldn’t help but brush them away. With good intentions, she started a conversation. “Uh… Senior Sister, what do you usually like to do? Do you have any hobbies?”
“Reading, playing chess, cultivating.”
“What a coincidence. Our hobbies are quite similar.”
Hearing Lin Qingyue’s words, Ling Ling looked up at her. She doesn’t look very smart, does she?
“How old are you?”
“I’m sixteen. I’ll be seventeen in a few months.”
“Oh, so you’re not an adult yet.”
Ling Ling nodded. Children just like to imitate adults.
Lin Qingyue asked in return, “How old are you, Senior Sister? How long have you been in the sect?”
Their Master was hundreds of years old, and their Eldest Senior Sister was not young either. She figured her Third Senior Sister was not a young person either, just that she had a way of preserving her youth and was not in the same age group as her and her Senior Brother.
Ling Ling took a sip of tea. “I’m twenty-one this year, a few years older than you.”
The smile on Lin Qingyue’s face completely vanished.
Twenty-one?
That’s not much different from her!
The gap in cultivation could be bridged, but the greatness of her chest…
“Let’s not talk about these boring topics anymore. I’ll be direct with you. It’s actually very simple to get on my good side. I see that you and Junior Brother have a very good relationship. How about you don’t have such a good relationship in the future?”
A question mark appeared above Lin Qingyue’s head. “What do you mean by that, Senior Sister?”
“Playing dumb, are we?”
Ling Ling’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “What I mean is, don’t have any ideas about Junior Brother. He’s already taken.”
Her words were very direct. If she still didn’t understand, she would be a fool.
Lin Qingyue took a deep breath and said, “Taken? Is this something Senior Brother has acknowledged, or is it just your one-sided opinion?”
If her Senior Brother had acknowledged it, no matter how painful it was, she would withdraw. But if not…
“That’s not important. You just need to know that he’s not someone you can covet.”
Hearing Ling Ling’s threat, not only was Lin Qingyue not afraid, but she even laughed.
Since she hadn’t answered directly, the matter was already very clear.
“You don’t dare to say these things in front of Senior Brother. Could it be that you’re feeling guilty? Someone is being delusional?”
“You!”
Ling Ling was furious and slammed her hand on the table, standing up.
“How dare you speak to me like that!”
“So what if I did?”
Lin Qingyue was not intimidated by Ling Ling. In life, all one seeks is peace of mind. As long as her Senior Brother was by her side, she would feel incomparably peaceful and happy. When it came to the person she liked, how could she easily back down?
“You’ve got a lot of nerve!”
Ling Ling gritted her teeth in anger, her chest heaving violently, a turbulent storm for a moment.
She really wanted to pick up her little junior sister and throw her out of Heavenly Water Peak. But she couldn’t. She couldn’t do that.
It would be difficult to explain to both her junior brother and her Master. If the matter blew up and her Master asked for the reason, could she say that she and her junior sister were fighting over a man, and she had bullied her with her higher cultivation? Did she not want her face anymore!
She took a few deep breaths to calm down a little. Ling Ling said coldly, “Do you know what you’re saying? Be a good girl and listen to your senior sister. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
“Consequences? What consequences?”
Lin Qingyue was not easily scared. Having grown up in a harsh environment since she was a child, her courage went without saying.
They were all fellow disciples. She couldn’t use a heavy hand. At most, she would just get a beating. And speaking of beatings…
“I heard that someone, for disobeying their Master’s order, was pressed to the ground and spanked hard, unable to get out of bed for several days. Is that true?”
Since they had already torn off all pretenses, Lin Qingyue also shed her obedient junior sister persona and began to mock with a smile.
Having been poked at a sore spot, her just-calmed mood fluctuated again. Ling Ling said coldly, “Junior Sister, you’re playing with fire!”
Lin Qingyue’s voice held not a trace of emotion. “I don’t understand what you mean, Senior Sister.”
She was not afraid of anything. A mere senior sister who hadn’t even been weaned yet actually wanted to threaten her!
The “not weaned” here was not a metaphor. She really thought so.
Lin Qingyue had noticed that after this senior sister got excited, a sweet smell would appear in the air.
Although she didn’t know what was going on, the milky smell was coming from her. It must be because she usually drank too much that it lingered on her body for a long time.
Ling Ling’s eyes gradually sharpened. The thought of looking after her little junior sister vanished.
Look after her?
It’s a good thing I didn’t string her up and beat her!
Learning to snatch men at such a young age? What will she be like when she grows up!
Just as the atmosphere in the room was becoming tense, Su Yan had finished watering the spiritual herbs. He figured it was about time and that he should go back.
“Senior Sister and Junior Sister are alone. They must be having a good chat and a pleasant conversation.”
He had beautiful thoughts in his heart, but as soon as he entered the room, he noticed that something was wrong.
“What’s wrong with you two?”
The harmonious scene he had imagined did not appear. The atmosphere in the room was strange. Ling Ling and Lin Qingyue were looking down at their tea, neither of them looking at the other.
“What could be wrong with us? You’re overthinking it, Junior Brother.”
Ling Ling didn’t want to argue in front of her junior brother, so she said with a smile.
“I just think Senior Brother’s tea is very delicious and got lost in it, forgetting to chat for a moment.”
Lin Qingyue said with emotion, a silly and sweet smile on her face.
“I’m glad you like it.”
Su Yan smiled lightly.
However, he didn’t see that after he had shifted his gaze, the two of them were glaring at each other, both looking as if they wanted to beat the other up.
This little junior sister is not simple!
She’s bold, not afraid of trouble, and can play dumb. She had a cold face just now, but now she’s smiling like a little white flower.
How could such a scheming person be allowed into Heavenly Water Peak? I must find a way to let Junior Brother see her true nature, and it would be best to have Master kick her out of here!
Ling Ling thought to herself, racking her brains.
How could she kick Lin Qingyue down the mountain? It was impossible to just knock her out and throw her out. The method was too crude. But to have her leave the sect in a justifiable way… that was a bit difficult.
Lin Qingyue felt very annoyed. She didn’t want to cause trouble, but trouble had come to her. It was very simple to resolve this crisis. She just had to not contact her Senior Brother in the future. But…
“I refuse!”
Looking at the peerlessly handsome young man pouring tea for her, he had appeared and saved her at her most dangerous moment. Without him, she would not be here. He was the light of her life. How could she just hand him over
