Chapter 102: Playing Herself into a Corner
Although Yue Wuxia was suspicious of the relationship between Mingyan and Ning Mengru, it was just a suspicion. In her heart, she was still more inclined to believe that there could not be any strange relationship between the two of them…
But now it seemed that there was something fishy. Was it really as she had suspected?
It shouldn’t be, right?
Mingyan sent a mental message to Yue Wuxia. “Master, some things are not convenient to say out loud. I will tell you via mental message.”
Including the confession just now, it was all done through a mental message.
When the Mandarin Duck mirror was handed over to Ning Mengru by Ning Feixuan, Ning Feixuan had sent a mental message to Mingyan in advance to remind him, so as to avoid any impropriety. After all, the Mandarin Duck mirror, like the ring his sister had given him and the concentric pendant, could see the situation here from a great distance. In case Mingyan let it slip and Ning Mengru found out, then things would be a big deal…
Ning Mengru was now maintaining her relationship with Mingyan using the identity of Yue Ningshuang because Mingyan didn’t know the truth. If she ever found out that Mingyan already knew she was Ning Mengru, how could she still act?
She would definitely not be willing to see Mingyan, let alone act. To be honest, to be caught like this… where would she put her face as an elder?
So Aunt Ning definitely couldn’t be allowed to hear.
“Do you really have a relationship with Ning Mengru?” Yue Wuxia’s brow furrowed slightly. The fact that Yue Ningshuang and Ning Feixuan both liked her own disciple was naturally not strange to Yue Wuxia, who had been watching Mingyan for most of the time. Although Yue Ningshuang’s identity was quite unique, Ning Feixuan had liked Mingyan long ago; Yue Wuxia understood this point. But it turned out that Ning Mengru had gotten together with Mingyan behind Ning Feixuan’s back?
According to Yue Wuxia’s understanding of Ning Mengru, Ning Mengru was definitely not this kind of person. She was a rational and intellectual woman. Otherwise, she would not have become the Queen Mother of the West…
In other words, let alone the small possibility of Ning Mengru falling in love with Mingyan, even if she really did, Ning Mengru would have many things to worry about. Some things could not be broken through just by saying so…
But Mingyan’s strength had suddenly broken through, which also seemed to prove that something had really happened between him and Ning Mengru. Ning Mengru was even willing to give herself to Mingyan…
This made Yue Wuxia feel a little strange in her heart.
“Actually…” Mingyan thought for a moment and explained, “My relationship with Aunt Ning is not that simple.”
Mingyan explained the identity of Yue Ningshuang and also told Yue Wuxia his own thoughts.
Hearing that Yue Ningshuang was actually Ning Mengru, even a person as clear and cold as Yue Wuxia couldn’t help but have a subtle expression…
You… to help your own disciple, you disguised yourself as another person??
You really have it in you. And you really played yourself into a corner…
Yue Wuxia looked at Mingyan and asked via mental message, “Are you really planning to let Ning Mengru stay by your side?”
“Before, I didn’t know that Ningshuang was actually Aunt Ning. Before I knew, I only had respect for her and no other thoughts. But now…” Mingyan said with some embarrassment. His master disliked his fickleness, but this kind of thing couldn’t be hidden from his master forever. After all, she could always see his situation from the concentric pendant. Some things couldn’t be hidden.
Yue Wuxia looked at Mingyan, and after a long while, she looked away, a certain look flashing slightly in her eyes.
As for Mingyan’s fickleness, she no longer cared, because it was already impossible to restrain him.
Could she control him? How many people around him were indulging him?
There was no need to say more about Wang Qingchu. Even her own disciple, Yue Qingying, didn’t seem to care so much about there being other people around Mingyan, right?
And those women of the Huang family, it was clear that they were planning to offer a “buy one, get two free” deal. You restrain Mingyan’s fickleness? They would just make him more fickle. And the one who restrains is always easily disliked. Yue Wuxia could not let Mingyan hate her.
Also… even the her in the dream, hadn’t she also silently accepted the fact that Mingyan was fickle?
Thinking of the tricks Mingyan had played in the dream, Yue Wuxia couldn’t help but let out a nasal sound. “Hmph.”
This rebellious disciple has a lot of tricks.
Hearing his master’s cold snort, Mingyan’s heart was a little apprehensive. Could it be that his master really disliked him getting involved with Aunt Ning?
Yue Wuxia looked at Mingyan. If Ning Mengru really sided with Mingyan, it seemed to be a good thing…
Yue Wuxia knew Ning Mengru quite well. If she had Ning Mengru’s help, perhaps she could restrain Mingyan even more…
Mingyan was still respectful to his elders. This point, Yue Wuxia still recognized. For Ning Mengru to have ended up in this state was completely her own fault. It wasn’t because Mingyan had been persistently climbing up the pole; it had not much to do with him.
The teachings of two elders, Mingyan should also take them to heart…
Thinking of this, Yue Wuxia’s expression softened a little. “Do you like Ning Mengru?”
“Before, I didn’t dare to have too many thoughts about Aunt Ning. After all, she is my elder. But now, I really like Aunt Ning,” Mingyan nodded. Anyway, he couldn’t let her run away.
But the key words Mingyan had said made Yue Wuxia think of herself…
Also an elder… she and Ning Mengru are also quite similar in some places…
But thinking of the matter of Yue Ningshuang being Ning Mengru, it made Yue Wuxia think of those things in the dream again… this Ning Mengru, her acting was indeed not bad. And she was also helping Mingyan…
Thinking of Yue Ningshuang and Mingyan colluding to manipulate her own feelings, even though Yue Wuxia was used to being cold, she couldn’t help but be a little speechless. Yue Ningshuang’s personality and Ning Mengru’s were really two different worlds. In her heart, Ning Mengru should be the kind of mature and stable type, while Yue Ningshuang was the quirky, and even a little sinister and cunning type…
In the dream, if it weren’t for Ning Mengru, Yue Wuxia wouldn’t have been so pathetic…
And…
Because she was an elder, he hadn’t dared to have any desire for her before. But now…
It was as if Mingyan was talking about Yue Wuxia herself…
Yue Wuxia suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because Ning Mengru was similar to her in some ways to Mingyan… which made her feel as if she had lost her unique place in his heart…
Realizing this, Yue Wuxia herself was a little surprised. Why would she have such a thought? Wasn’t this a good thing? With Ning Mengru’s help, she could restrain Mingyan even more…
Yue Wuxia shook her head and said, “When are you planning to have a showdown with Ning Mengru?”
“We have to wait for a suitable opportunity,” Mingyan scratched his head. At least not now, right? I haven’t done enough groundwork. Thinking of this, he carefully looked at Yue Wuxia. “Master… you’re not angry?”
“What am I angry about?” Yue Wuxia glanced at Mingyan. “You and Ning Mengru have an improper relationship. Why should I be angry?”
“That’s good,” Mingyan smiled and was relieved.
