Chapter 121: Really Jealous?
“Hmm… she probably knows. After all, my Master can see my situation anytime, anywhere,” Mingyan replied via mental message.
In fact, the former Yue Wu Xia had no idea of Mingyan’s thoughts. It was only after she had called him back that Mingyan had taken the initiative to confess.
Of course, at this time, Mingyan needed to say some things to make his Master and Aunt Ning compete against each other. Only then would it be beneficial for him to win over these two women.
To Mingyan, this had all the benefits and no harm. For these two to compete against each other, the situation would definitely develop in a direction that was favorable to him. It would be best if they got competitive. If his Master got competitive, her resistance to his intimacy would definitely get lower and lower. If Aunt Ning got competitive, then she would definitely not think about abandoning her identity as Yue Ningshuang, and might even expose her own identity.
This felt quite like the Yue Ningshuang and Yue Wu Xia from the dream.
“…” Yue Ningshuang didn’t say anything, but the dissatisfaction in her heart accumulated.
Yue Wu Xia, what’s wrong with you?
As Mingyan’s Master, you can kiss him, let him serve you in your bath. When I didn’t know, you might have even done more intimate things with him. But when it comes to me, you don’t let Mingyan get close?
Although Ning Mengru had never thought of having any real relationship with Mingyan in her identity as Ning Mengru—it was just to use Mingyan’s love for her to help her own foolish disciple—wasn’t Yue Wu Xia being a bit meddlesome by doing this?
How Mingyan wanted to interact with Ning Mengru, that was his freedom, right?
Could it be… could it be that Yue Wu Xia is worried that if Mingyan gets too close to me, he won’t like her as much?
Ning Mengru couldn’t figure it out… but there was a way to easily know what Yue Wu Xia’s attitude really was…
That was to use her identity as Ning Mengru, in front of Yue Wu Xia, to be a little more intimate with Mingyan. Then, Yue Wu Xia’s reaction would help her see clearly what Yue Wu Xia was really thinking…
It’s a good thing Ancestor brought the Emperor-level artifact with her. I can still disguise myself as Ning Mengru!
Pah! What disguise as Ning Mengru… it’s changing back to my original identity…
Too much disguising had made Ning Mengru a little confused about her own identity.
At that time, with her Ancestor’s help, she should also be able to move around the Huang family with two identities…
“Your Master… does she have some opinion about my Master?” Yue Ningshuang came back to her senses, held Mingyan’s arm, and asked.
Although she could approach it from another angle, Yue Ningshuang still had not given up on getting useful information from Mingyan.
“…Probably not? My Master and Aunt Ning don’t seem to have any conflict,” Mingyan shook his head.
Before, there really was no conflict… Yaochi had almost no enemies and rarely made any. Back then, after Ning Mengru learned that Mingyan was a Human King Physique, she had even specially brought him to Wang Qingchu for the sake of the inheritance.
When they were young, Ning Mengru and Yue Wu Xia were on par with each other, and alongside the three Huang family sisters of that time, there had been no conflict. Of course, her relationship with Yue Wu Xia could not be said to be very close either.
From Ning Mengru’s perspective, the only reason Yue Wu Xia could have an issue with her would be because of Mingyan…
She’s jealous. So she doesn’t want Mingyan to get close to me, in order to maintain her position in his heart.
If that’s the case… on what grounds can you do that?
On the grounds that you are Mingyan’s Master? If you and Mingyan had no special relationship, that would be one thing. But your own relationship with Mingyan is ambiguous. What right do you have to manage me?
The more Yue Ningshuang thought about it, the more absurd she felt. She became even more determined in her idea to use her Ning Mengru identity to stimulate Yue Wu Xia and see Yue Wu Xia’s attitude.
“Forget it. Let’s go and see my sister first,” Yue Ningshuang shook her head, took Mingyan, and together they found Wang Qingchu.
At this moment, Huang Junru was standing with Wang Qingchu. Even in front of Wang Qingchu, Huang Junru was still so cold. This was a long-term way of speaking and would not be changed by others; changing it was not so easy.
But Wang Qingchu was not unhappy because of Huang Junru’s attitude. She smiled and was saying something to Huang Junru. After Mingyan and Yue Ningshuang arrived, Huang Junru looked over, said something, and then left first.
And Wang Qingchu also came over and smiled. “Yan’er, Ningshuang.”
“Sister,” Mingyan smiled. “Are you done with Yaochi’s affairs?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’m going to help the Huang family perfect their formation. I’ve talked to Feng Huang before and also to the Huang family head. So for the next period of time, I will be staying at the Huang family. And, you don’t know yet, do you? Your Aunt Ning has also come,” Wang Qingchu said with a smile.
“Is that so? Why haven’t I seen Aunt Ning?” Mingyan played dumb. Wang Qingchu and Mingyan both knew that the Yue Ningshuang beside them was Ning Mengru, but neither of them would expose her.
“Master has some other things to do. After she’s done, you should be able to see her,” Yue Ningshuang quickly added.
“Yes, I asked Mengru to do other things. Ningshuang, you go and do other things first. I want to spend some time alone with Yan’er,” Wang Qingchu nodded, then sent Yue Ningshuang away. Before Yue Ningshuang left, Wang Qingchu also gave Yue Ningshuang the Yaochi Emperor-level artifact. Of course, all of this, Mingyan “did not know.”
After getting the Emperor-level artifact, Yue Ningshuang left first.
After Yue Ningshuang had left, Wang Qingchu finally smiled. “Now that almost everyone is here, it’s up to your own operation, Yan’er.”
Mingyan nodded. “I have already found a way to win over Aunt Ning. It’s just a matter of time. On Master’s side, there is also not a small amount of progress. Just wait and see, sister.”
Wang Qingchu smiled but didn’t say anything. In Wang Qingchu’s opinion, Mingyan’s progress was still a little slow. But at least there was progress. After Mingyan had won over Yue Wu Xia and Ning Mengru, and then let Mingyan know some things about the Huang family, Mingyan would probably be even more inflated. At that time… it would be the time for Wang Qingchu to get her wish~
Wang Qingchu and Mingyan did not talk for too long. Because now, the key was to let Mingyan go and conquer Ning Mengru and Yue Wu Xia. So Wang Qingchu did not, as before, be clingy with Mingyan, but let Mingyan go and find Ning Mengru.
Mingyan also knew that his sister hoped that he would win Aunt Ning over early, so Mingyan didn’t say anything. Mingyan soon found Ning Mengru.
After Ning Mengru had used the Emperor-level artifact to restore her original identity, Ning Mengru had first gone to find Huang Qingfei. Huang Qingfei was a little surprised. After all, Huang Qingfei had originally thought that only Wang Qingchu, Yue Qingying, and Ning Feixuan had come. Huang Qingfei had not expected that Ning Mengru had also come.
After Huang Qingfei had settled Ning Mengru down, Huang Qingfei had chatted with Ning Mengru. The two of them had a lot to talk about. Huang Qingfei and Ning Mengru were very congenial. Huang Qingfei, who had been deeply influenced by Ning Mengru, had a lot in common with Ning Mengru. But as Ning Mengru had felt Mingyan’s arrival, Ning Mengru had had to tactfully tell Huang Qingfei that she had something to deal with. Only then had Huang Qingfei left.
Not long after, Mingyan had come to Ning Mengru’s residence to visit. After Mingyan had bowed, Mingyan had smiled and chatted with Ning Mengru for a few sentences. Ning Mengru had quickly gotten to the point. “Yan’er, your master should also be at the Huang family, right? Take me to see her.”
“That’s not a problem,” Mingyan did not ask much. Mingyan took Ning Mengru and came to Yue Wu Xia’s residence.
Mingyan had roughly guessed something. For Aunt Ning to be in such a hurry to see his master, Aunt Ning was probably trying to figure out Master’s attitude.
It seems I also have to cooperate with Aunt Ning…
On the surface, there was no enmity between Ning Mengru and Yue Wu Xia. So after Ning Mengru had come, Yue Wu Xia had quickly come out to welcome Ning Mengru. It was just that Yue Wu Xia had silently glanced at Mingyan and then had welcomed Ning Mengru into the room.
The two of them had known each other for hundreds of years. Although their relationship could not be said to be very close, they were still old acquaintances. Besides, now because of Mingyan’s relationship, Yaochi and Wind Spirit Moon Shadow were originally very close. So the two of them had a casual chat.
Mingyan was a little bored listening on the side. Seeing that Aunt Ning’s performance seemed to be a little different from what Mingyan had thought before, Mingyan was about to leave after greeting them. But Ning Mengru had suddenly called out to Mingyan. “Yan’er, what’s wrong? Are you bored?”
“Ah…” Mingyan stopped, looked at Ning Mengru. “I just think it’s fine for Aunt Ning and Master to chat. There’s no need for me to stay here…”
“Hehe, if you’re bored, can I trouble you to come over and rub my shoulders? I’ve been cultivating for too long recently, and I’ve been sitting cross-legged for a little too long. I feel a little uncomfortable all over,” Ning Mengru smiled slightly.
Haven’t you been sitting cross-legged for long? Mingyan thought for a moment. At most, it was only a day or two… and, it wasn’t just you sitting cross-legged. Nishang had also sat cross-legged…
But Mingyan knew that Aunt Ning was trying to test Master’s attitude…
Sure enough, hearing Ning Mengru’s words, Yue Wu Xia’s eyes couldn’t help but look at Mingyan. Yue Wu Xia was very clear about her own disciple’s wolfish ambitions. Since Ning Mengru had spoken, Mingyan would definitely not refuse…
But, for Ning Mengru to suddenly call Mingyan to rub her shoulders in front of Yue Wu Xia, wasn’t that a bit too deliberate?
Ning Mengru was a cultivator. How could she be uncomfortable all over just from sitting cross-legged for a long time?
Was Ning Mengru deliberately doing it for Yue Wu Xia to see?
Of course, Mingyan did not refuse. Mingyan needed to cooperate with Aunt Ning to stimulate Master. This way, Master would further lower her bottom line.
Mingyan walked to Ning Mengru’s back, reached out his hand, and gently kneaded her shoulders. Ning Mengru had a smile on her face and looked at Yue Wu Xia. For some reason, Yue Wu Xia felt that Ning Mengru seemed to have a somewhat provocative feeling…
Could it be that Ning Mengru knew Mingyan’s thoughts about Yue Wu Xia? Had Mingyan told Ning Mengru all these things?!
Thinking of this, Yue Wu Xia glanced at Mingyan with some dissatisfaction. Yue Wu Xia had originally not cared about Ning Mengru’s provocation. But thinking of how Mingyan had seemed to think that Ning Mengru was more important than her, Yue Wu Xia’s heart suddenly became a little unhappy…
Ning Mengru was about to speak, but Ning Mengru suddenly felt Mingyan’s hand had very dishonestly come to her armpit, and had rubbed forward, pressing against the bottom of the peak, and gently squeezing with his knuckles.
?
No, I asked you to massage me. What are you doing? So bold?
This had made Ning Mengru a little confused. Ning Mengru had originally just wanted to show her intimacy with Mingyan in front of Yue Wu Xia. But Ning Mengru had never thought of being so intimate.
But now… Ning Mengru quickly sent a mental message to remind Mingyan. “Yan’er… your hand…”
“Hmm? What’s wrong with my hand?” Mingyan replied via mental message, as if he hadn’t noticed anything wrong with his actions. Ning Mengru was dying of anxiety. This damn guy must be doing it on purpose… how could he not have noticed what he was doing? But in front of Yue Wu Xia, Ning Mengru didn’t dare to say anything and could only silently endure it.
Yue Wu Xia looked at Mingyan’s actions and Ning Mengru’s indifferent expression. Yue Wu Xia couldn’t help but be secretly surprised. No… I remember Mingyan said that Ning Mengru still doesn’t know that he has already known that she is disguised as Yue Ningshuang, right?
In other words, at least under this identity of hers, Mingyan and Ning Mengru should be a little more restrained. After all, their relationship should still be a normal elder-junior relationship. But you two…?
What are you doing?!
Thinking of Ning Mengru’s provocative gaze just now, Yue Wu Xia instantly understood… Ning Mengru had come to provoke!
What, do you want to show that she is more important than me in Mingyan’s heart?
Yue Wu Xia bit her lip and actually said, “Yan’er, come here.”
Just as her words fell, Yue Wu Xia regretted it… how… how could she say that? Didn’t that mean… she was actually very concerned about her position in Mingyan’s heart?
Ning Mengru was still struggling with how to make Mingyan stop. Hearing Yue Wu Xia’s direct words, Ning Mengru couldn’t help but look up at Yue Wu Xia. Seeing that Yue Wu Xia had glanced at Ning Mengru and then had looked away.
Huh? Really jealous?
