Chapter 103: Is Master Jealous?
Yue Wuxia looked at Mingyan, but her brow furrowed slightly. Why did Mingyan think she should be angry?
What did Ning Mengru have to do with her?
Unable to figure this out, Yue Wuxia sent a mental message. “Turn around. Your master is going to continue bathing.”
“Yes,” Mingyan nodded and turned around.
Mingyan thought that Yue Wuxia would be angry because of his fickleness… but now it seemed that his master didn’t seem to care much anymore. After all, she couldn’t control it even if she wanted to, right?
Thinking of this, Mingyan couldn’t help but secretly laugh. Habit becomes nature…
Just as Mingyan was secretly laughing, Yue Wuxia’s voice suddenly sounded. “Between me and Ning Mengru, who is more important to you?”
Behind the mist, Yue Wuxia’s full head of dark hair was wet with the pool water, sticking to her fair skin, which was white with a hint of red, extremely tempting.
Just as her words fell, Yue Wuxia was a little regretful. Why would I ask this? What answer do I want to get? How did I start speaking without thinking? What’s the point of asking such a question?
To Mingyan, Yue Wuxia had spoken suddenly. To herself, she didn’t even know why she would ask such a question…
Was it because of Mingyan’s question just now?
He had asked her if she would be angry, as if… the matter between him and Ning Mengru was as if he had wronged Yue Wuxia…
At first, Yue Wuxia had felt nothing. But the more she thought about it, the more her heart felt blocked…
Yue Wuxia’s world was very small. Like Yue Qingying, there were only so many people around her. She was very good to Mingyan. That was because she cared very much about the small world around her, and the people in this small world.
Ordinary people, when their world becomes small, would expand it. But to Yue Wuxia, she would only cherish the people around her even more.
And the people around Yue Wuxia would also cherish her…
But Mingyan’s words just now… how should she put it? It was as if the person beside her was about to leave…
No, it shouldn’t be like this. Yue Wuxia thought so, but in the end, her mouth couldn’t control itself, and she still asked.
Why am I thinking such nonsense?
Sigh? Forget it. Since I’ve already asked, let’s hear Mingyan’s answer…
Mingyan was a little confused by this question. This was not a question his master would ask…
Did his master not know what her position was in Mingyan’s heart?
Mingyan admitted that he did indeed like Ning Mengru now, but his master was very special in his heart…
And why did his master ask this question? Could it be that she was jealous?
Thinking of this, Mingyan’s heart suddenly beat a little faster. Was his master really jealous? Because of his relationship with Aunt Ning, was his master a little nervous?
Aunt Ning and his master were indeed quite similar in some places. First of all, they were both elders. Originally, they were both people Mingyan respected, and he had not dared to let things change at the beginning…
But it turned out that Aunt Ning and he had gotten together. Of course, now it couldn’t be said that they had gotten together. But compared to his relationship with his master, Mingyan’s relationship with Aunt Ning was indeed closer. After all, they had already had “positive and negative contact.”
Mingyan was a little conflicted. The best answer was naturally to say that his Master was more important. Anyway, even if Aunt Ning might be watching here through the Mandarin Duck mirror, she couldn’t hear Mingyan’s and his Master’s mental message. But did he really have to answer like this?
If Mingyan answered that Aunt Ning was more important… then wouldn’t his Master be even more jealous? But was his Master really jealous?
If it was to please his Master and make her happy, then it would undoubtedly be enough to directly answer that his Master was more important. But Mingyan felt that perhaps for himself, the most advantageous answer was not like this…
Mingyan thought for a moment, sent a mental message to Yue Wuxia, and used a compromise. “I think… Master and Aunt Ning are both very important to me.”
Mingyan didn’t answer that Ning Mengru was more important, because to answer like that would be a bit too deliberate. Besides, to answer like that, if his Master was really jealous, she would probably be sullen. If she wasn’t jealous, to directly answer that Ning Mengru was more important would also hurt his Master’s heart…
This answer, “both are very important,” seemed to be treating them equally, but in fact, it was not like this.
To Yue Wuxia, before, she was definitely closer to Mingyan. What did Ning Mengru count for? And now, Ning Mengru had reached the same level as her… This answer, if Yue Wuxia was not jealous, might sound a little disappointing, but it would not cause any strong emotions. But if Yue Wuxia was jealous, hearing this would be a little stimulating…
After Mingyan answered, he couldn’t see his master’s expression. His heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat; he didn’t know what his master’s reaction was. In fact, he could see the scene on his master’s side through the concentric pendant. But to directly peek at his master bathing, Mingyan wasn’t that desperate, and he was not that shameless. If he wanted to see, then he would win his master over and appreciate her properly. What was the point of peeking with the concentric pendant? If he really did that, Mingyan himself would look down on himself.
After a long while, Yue Wuxia spoke again. “Come in and rub my shoulders for me.”
“…?” Mingyan blinked, and he saw the mist in front of him suddenly disappear. He could clearly see his master leaning against the side of the pool, her back to him. Her full head of dark hair was wet and stuck to her fair and rosy skin, but it couldn’t hide her rounded, fragrant shoulders. From this angle, his master was probably in the water from the collarbones down…
“Master… do you really want me to rub your shoulders?”
“I told you to come, so come. Why are you so long-winded?” Yue Wuxia’s clear and cold voice had a hint of dissatisfaction. After hearing this, Mingyan finally walked up…
The closer he got, the more Mingyan didn’t know where to put his gaze. What if he saw something he shouldn’t… But when he got closer, Mingyan found that the pool water around his master had a faint blue color, and he couldn’t see the situation underwater at all. Mingyan was a little disappointed in his heart. Just this…? But he also sighed in relief. If he could really see, he wouldn’t dare to look… He reached out and placed his hand on Yue Wuxia’s smooth shoulder… Master’s skin is so tender and smooth… the feel of it was exquisite, hard to describe accurately with words, making one unable to let go. But Mingyan also didn’t forget that his master had asked him to give a massage, not to take advantage of her…
Yaochi Sacred Land.
Ning Mengru frowned. She felt that perhaps she shouldn’t have been so hasty… it might be normal for that fellow Mingyan to have ill intentions, but Yue Wuxia didn’t seem like a person who would break her bottom line so easily. Perhaps Yue Wuxia was just deceived by Mingyan, thinking that it was some normal way for a master and disciple to handle their relationship… reasonable? What nonsense. Who was Yue Wuxia? How could she be deceived by Mingyan? Ning Mengru shook her head; she herself felt that her guess was very ridiculous. But the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the relationship between Mingyan and Yue Wuxia should not be as she had imagined… it shouldn’t be…
Then… let’s have another look…
Thinking of this, Ning Mengru used the Mandarin Duck mirror to look at the other side again. But she saw Mingyan giving Yue Wuxia a massage, and Yue Wuxia was lying in the pool water, naked. Although Ning Mengru couldn’t see the scene in the water, Mingyan from that angle could definitely see it clearly…
Ning Mengru bit her silver teeth. These two… what’s the point of watching anymore?
The evidence is conclusive! They can be convicted!
