Chapter 173: Being Handled by My Junior Brother
Yue Wu Xia was silent for a moment and finally sighed softly. “You… it’s good that you don’t mind…”
“Junior Brother, you go out for a moment. Let me and Master talk,” Yue Qingying’s heart stirred. She looked at Mingyan and smiled slightly.
Mingyan nodded. Although he didn’t know what his senior sister wanted to say to his master, he trusted Yue Qingying very much. He estimated that she wanted to do some psychological counseling for his master.
So after he nodded, he left the room and closed the door behind him.
Seeing this, Yue Wu Xia’s beautiful eyes fell on Yue Qingying. She knew that Yue Qingying had something to say.
“Master,” Yue Qingying thought for a moment and said, “Actually, not only do I have no opinion on the matter between you and my junior brother, I am even very happy to see you and him achieve this relationship.”
Yue Wu Xia looked at Yue Qingying, her brow furrowed slightly.
“I know you may have some doubts in your heart, Master,” Yue Qingying smiled slightly. “No matter what, there are already quite a lot of women around my junior brother. On the Huang family’s side, there are Feiyan, her second aunt, and also Huang Nishang. On the Yaochi side, there are Ning Feixuan and Yue Ningshuang… Master, this is something that cannot be ignored.”
“So?”
“As far as I know, Yue Ningshuang seems to be supporting the relationship between Ning Feixuan and my junior brother. And on the Huang family’s side, although Feiyan has not expressed her thoughts on her second aunt Huang Junyi and her cousin Huang Nishang, from what I’ve seen, she has probably already accepted them. And before you and my junior brother took this step, on our Wind Spirit Moon Shadow side, there was only me. A single tree can hardly stand alone,” Yue Qingying said. “If there were only one or two ‘other women’ by my junior brother’s side, I wouldn’t have to think this way. But there are too many women around him, and they have formed their own factions. If they were to unite, it would be very threatening to us. After all… two people are definitely greater than one.”
“…Is this the reason why you support me and Mingyan being together?” Hearing this, Yue Wu Xia was a little incredulous. She had not expected that Yue Qingying just wanted to fight for favor…
“It’s not just for this reason. Even if I ignore the reason I just mentioned, I am still very happy to see you and my junior brother get together. Whether it’s my junior brother’s feelings for you, or your feelings for him, they have been suppressed and restrained for a long time, right?” Yue Qingying smiled slightly. Before, she might not have dared to say such a thing easily—for example, that her master actually had feelings for her junior brother. But from the speed of the development of their relationship, this situation was theoretically possible.
Otherwise, according to her master’s personality, for her junior brother to want to win her over would probably take a longer time. At least in Yue Qingying’s initial thoughts, her junior brother might have had to spend another year to gradually soften his master’s defenses… she had not expected that this trip would directly be a one-step process.
“And, for you and my junior brother to have gotten together, the three of us, master and disciples, are even closer. Isn’t this a good thing?” Yue Qingying smiled. “It’s not because I hope you will accompany me in fighting for favor that I support your relationship with my junior brother. It’s because you and I were originally the best allies on the same side. We should have faced others together. Master, if you don’t fight, others will. If we remain indifferent, perhaps one day, in my junior brother’s heart, we will become less important.”
“Then why did you accept Huang Feiyan in the first place?” Yue Wu Xia’s brow furrowed tightly. “If you hadn’t accepted Huang Feiyan, how would there have been so many troublesome things now?”
“…” This question for a moment made a few black lines appear on Yue Qingying’s smooth and fair forehead. I… wasn’t it that I had misjudged at that time? Things have already come to this… what else can I do?
“If I hadn’t accepted Huang Feiyan at that time, who my junior brother would have given up, no one could say. Besides, if my junior brother really only had a one-sided love for one of them, then you and he, how could you have come to this relationship?” Yue Qingying was calm. Although her heart felt a little frustrated, she would not show it.
“…If it weren’t for you accepting Huang Feiyan at that time, perhaps I wouldn’t have been… by this rebellious disciple…” Yue Wu Xia subconsciously wanted to say “I wouldn’t have been taken advantage of by that rebellious disciple.” But the words were on the tip of her tongue, and she stopped. To be stubborn in front of Yue Qingying was useless… besides… although now Yue Wu Xia’s heart was still a little complicated, she did not regret making this decision. If this rebellious disciple had really chosen a one-sided love at that time, then between her and him… perhaps there really would have been no possibility…
Still… I don’t want to arrive at that future.
“Master… it sounds a little reluctant? Could it be that my junior brother forced you?” Yue Qingying’s eyes flickered slightly, and she asked tentatively.
“…He, a Tai Yi, can force me?” Yue Wu Xia glanced at Yue Qingying and finally told the truth. “…I was… willing.”
Yue Qingying quietly sighed in relief. She had originally thought that if her master’s mentality had not yet been straightened out, she would have to do some work for her junior brother. But now it seemed that her junior brother himself had already handled his master very well…
My junior brother is quite capable… Yue Qingying now had a little bit of suspicion, suspecting that her junior brother had actually played hard to get with her, deliberately making her mistakenly think that she was the one who was going to be abandoned…
Of course, although Yue Qingying had this suspicion, she was unwilling to believe it. Perhaps… her junior brother was naturally talented in this aspect…
“Since you are willing, Master, then you should join forces with me even more,” Yue Qingying approached Yue Wu Xia. “There’s an old saying, a crying child gets milk. If we don’t fight…”
Yue Wu Xia looked at Yue Qingying, her beautiful face clear and cold. “I don’t need to fight.”
“Master! You can’t be so complacent!” Hearing Yue Wu Xia say this, Yue Qingying was immediately a little anxious. “Although my junior brother cares about you very much now, now is now. No one knows about the future. You look at their Huang family—Huang Feiyan, Huang Nishang, Huang Junyi. In the future, maybe even Huang Qingfei and even Huang Junru might join in. Can’t we have a sense of crisis? And, on the Yaochi side, that An Ran from the Peach Banquet, and the Yaochi Holy Mother, Ning Mengru, are also not entirely impossible to join my junior brother’s… harem. At that time, if we two still don’t join forces, then we will really be… all alone…”
Hearing Ning Mengru’s name, Yue Wu Xia couldn’t help but frown slightly. “Ning Mengru has long since rolled into the same bed with your junior brother.”
