Chapter 75: The Shura Field
There was no identity marker on the assassin’s body. They could only be suspected of being a Tian Gang assassin. Without evidence, they did not linger and soon left the place.
The sea was not calm. From time to time, one could see surging waves. But the opportunities were at the bottom of the sea. The two of them entered the world under the sea surface.
Cultivators of their realm did not need to worry about oxygen and could explore the sea with confidence.
The sea was too vast. They rarely saw anyone else. The two of them explored for a while and found nothing. Just as they were about to leave, Mingyan felt a cold sensation at his waist, pressed against by something hard and sharp. A sharp short sword of unknown material was also pressed against his neck. His heart turned cold, and he was greatly shocked!
He had not let down his guard. He had been carefully ensuring that no one was following them all along, in case they acted when he let his guard down. He had not expected that the other party could sneak up behind him without him knowing at all.
“Don’t move. If you move, I’ll kill you,” the other person’s voice was muffled, and it was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman. He looked at Huang Feiyan, who was floating in front, and was about to send a mental message when he heard the person send one to him, “Don’t send a mental message. I’ll feel it. A white knife goes in, a red knife comes out~”
…Although he couldn’t tell if the other person was a man or a woman, he found that something was not right. The other person’s tone was a bit too… soft, wasn’t it?
And, if they wanted to kill him, why didn’t they do it? Now Feiyan was in front, and she didn’t seem to feel anything…
This assassin is not quite right, is he?
He was puzzled. He used the Moon Shadow Scripture and only then did he feel the other person’s concealment method… it was also the Moon Shadow Scripture?!
He subconsciously thought of what Huang Feiyan had said before and instantly reacted.
“Senior Sister?!” he said in surprise, “Why are you here?!”
Being in the sea, he had a barrier protecting him from getting wet, but the barrier also blocked out scents, so he didn’t smell the faint fragrance on Yue Qingying.
“Mingyan, I seem to have some… Qingying?!” At this time, Huang Feiyan also turned her head and saw Yue Qingying holding a short sword across his neck. This scene was too strange, and for a moment, it made her a little confused. “What are you two doing?!”
“Aiya…” Yue Qingying lowered her hand and said with a helpless smile, “Junior Brother, can’t you just play along with your senior sister?”
“It really is Senior Sister!” He was a little surprised and happy. “Why are you here?”
“What? You don’t welcome me?” she smiled slightly.
“Of course not,” he held her hand, his heart filled with emotion. “I’m just very surprised and happy to see you.”
“Hmm? That’s more like it,” she looked down at his hand holding hers, her smile growing wider.
But Huang Feiyan in front had a dark expression on her face. Before, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with this, but now that she felt Yue Qingying had improper designs on him, seeing the two of them being so… “intimate,” gave her a strong sense of crisis.
She quickly came closer. “Qingying, I have something I want to talk to you about.”
“No hurry,” she glanced at Huang Feiyan and chuckled lightly.
She had been separated from her junior brother for so long. She wanted to be clingy with him for a while longer.
Huang Feiyan took a deep breath. She had many questions she wanted to ask her. What was going on with her? But she also knew she couldn’t be too impatient. If Mingyan felt something was abnormal and became suspicious, it would not be good.
Now was not a good time to let him discover her feelings for him.
“When did you come, Senior Sister?” he asked curiously.
“I arrived at the port with you. Didn’t you notice me?” Yue Qingying said with a slight playful reproach. “Junior Brother doesn’t even recognize his Senior Sister’s aura anymore? I’ll have to punish you.”
Mingyan hesitated. He really hadn’t sensed his Senior Sister’s aura at the time. But there were many people, and the auras were too mixed, so it was indeed hard to distinguish. The main thing was that he hadn’t deliberately searched for her presence. He hadn’t even considered the possibility that she would be here.
“I’m sorry…” But to his Senior Sister, he would apologize. As long as she was happy.
“I’m going to punish you~” Yue Qingying whispered in his ear, her tone sounding very happy.
“I think you deliberately hid your tracks so he wouldn’t find you, right?” Huang Feiyan, who was next to them, couldn’t stand it anymore. In her eyes, this was Yue Qingying trying to flirt with him, using this method to do some things to him.
There was no need to doubt this. Yue Qingying had done it before, just like when she had told him that intimate people could kiss to trick him into kissing her. This best friend of hers had a complicated mind!
Yue Qingying looked at Huang Feiyan, a little surprised. Why was she calling her out? Didn’t she usually turn a blind eye to these things?
Mingyan didn’t think his Senior Sister would punish him. She was just playing around, right?
He told her about the assassination attempt. Yue Qingying frowned. There were too many people at that time, and they had scattered. It had taken her a while to catch up to them quietly, so she didn’t know about it. She frowned. “How could someone dare to assassinate you… and even hire Tian Gang…”
“Senior Sister should also be careful,” he said.
“Silly, in terms of concealment, who can compare to the Moon Shadow Scripture?” she chuckled lightly. “I’m by your side. Even if there’s an assassin, they won’t find a chance to act.”
“I heard from Feiyan that you used to be an assassin?” he was a little curious. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe it. When she had held the short sword to his neck just now, he had really felt a dangerous aura. If it wasn’t her, but someone else, he would probably have been in real danger.
But since it was her, it wasn’t surprising. She knew him too well, all his habits, and her mastery of the Moon Shadow Scripture far surpassed his. It was normal that he couldn’t discover her.
If she wanted to kill him, it wouldn’t be too difficult. But she would never kill him. They were not enemies. She was very good to him.
“…Yes, I have had such experiences,” she nodded. “But now, our Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sacred Land rarely takes on jobs. I’ve only taken on a few.”
No wonder I didn’t know. Senior Sister probably just kills people when she’s bored.
Huang Feiyan felt very uncomfortable on the side, unable to get a word in. The relationship between this senior and junior brother was too good, making her feel like a third party. But although he didn’t know, the Huang Family had already formally proposed marriage to his master, Yue Wu Xia. She was already his fiancée!
After he and Yue Qingying had been clingy for a while, she finally looked at Huang Feiyan. “Feiyan, you said you had something to talk to me about just now. What is it?”
Huang Feiyan let out a breath, her expression a little subtle. She sent a mental message to Yue Qingying. “…Qingying, you know that the Huang Family formally proposed to Aunt Yue, right? I’m already Mingyan’s fiancée. You should be very clear about this, right?”
Yue Qingying’s expression froze. She glanced at Mingyan, then motioned for Huang Feiyan to step aside to talk.
Although they could use mental messages so that he couldn’t hear, the problem was that the changes in their emotions could easily be captured, and he was very good at that. So it was best not to use mental messages in front of him.
The two of them walked to the side. He didn’t ask much, just waited where he was, observing the surroundings.
They were now in the deep sea, where the light was dim. They had to use some Dao techniques to see the situation at the bottom of the sea clearly.
There seemed to be a ruin at the bottom of the sea. Huang Feiyan had said before that she had found something, but before she could finish, she had seen her Senior Sister, so she didn’t continue.
These underwater worlds were not much different from the world on the surface, just that they were submerged in seawater, with more sea creatures and plants.
Is this what was left by a civilization from tens of millions of years ago?
On the other side, Huang Feiyan and Yue Qingying had walked aside.
“Feiyan, what did you mean by that just now?” Yue Qingying asked via mental message.
“I’m just… a little curious… why Mingyan’s understanding of intimate contact between men and women is so wrong… He told me… you kissed him, and even… stuck out your tongue.” Huang Feiyan was still relatively restrained and didn’t come up and accuse her.
“…” Yue Qingying was silent for a while. “We are senior and junior sister. It’s normal for our relationship to be a little better, isn’t it?”
“You can fool him with that because his understanding of this aspect has been led astray by you, but you can’t fool me… How can a senior sister kiss a junior brother? That’s something only Dao companions and spouses can do. At the very least, even if you can, even if your relationship is really good enough to kiss mouth-to-mouth, you shouldn’t stick your tongue out, right?!” Huang Feiyan’s transmitted voice carried some emotion.
Are you kidding me? Is that what you call a senior and junior sister? Those who don’t know would think you are a loving couple!
“…” Yue Qingying’s expression gradually became strange. “Feiyan, you seem to have forgotten something. Although my master agreed to you and Junior Brother being together, he is completely unaware of this. Your ‘fiancée’ status… is not really true, is it?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean, even if my relationship with Junior Brother is closer than you think, it seems that, for now, it’s none of your business, right?” she smiled slightly. “And, after Junior Brother is rejected by Ning Feixuan, who he chooses is not something you can decide, right? My master can’t even decide such things. Only my junior brother can choose for himself.”
“Don’t forget, you are his senior sister. Mingyan only has feelings for you as a member of his sect.” Huang Feiyan was a little incredulous. She had never expected her best friend, with whom she had a very good relationship, someone she could confide in and even entrust her back to, would say such a thing. For a junior brother, you don’t even want your best friend?
“That’s not necessarily true,” Yue Qingying’s smile was demure.
“Are you planning to fight me for him?” Huang Feiyan was a little anxious. “You can’t do this, Qingying.”
“I’m sorry, Feiyan. On this matter, I can’t back down,” Yue Qingying’s tone, however, was extremely firm.
