Chapter 86: Ning Feixuan’s Proposal and Scheme
“Optional? Why must I make a choice?” Ning Mengru’s brow stood on end, her tone proper and serious. This rebellious disciple actually wanted Mingyan to pursue her. Ning Mengru really didn’t know which nerve was out of place…
“But Master, you were the one who brought this up. You took the initiative to ask me if I had any recommended candidates,” Ning Feixuan blinked and reminded.
“I just wanted to see what absurd things you would say,” Ning Mengru’s face was calm. “Don’t say these things in the future. Mingyan and I are elder and junior. How can we mess up the seniority? You, your senior sister, and Mingyan being together is enough.”
Ning Feixuan lowered her head and said, “Disciple understands…”
“Leave. Let your master rest for a while,” Ning Mengru waved her hand, letting out a long breath in her heart. Ning Feixuan had run to Mingyan and encouraged him to pursue her; it had really made Ning Mengru a little flustered.
She didn’t want Mingyan to come and find her, to find this identity, because Ning Mengru herself didn’t know her own thoughts. She didn’t know what she would do if Mingyan came to her and confessed…
Mingyan’s own approach was very correct. Since he knew it would trouble her, he might as well hide it in his heart…
To put it bluntly, Mingyan still understood her. And her own disciple, who had been with her for many years, was not as good as Mingyan…
Thinking of this, Ning Mengru’s heart grew even more complicated…
Of course, in this aspect, Ning Mengru was wrong. Mingyan naturally understood Ning Mengru, but it wasn’t that Ning Feixuan didn’t understand her. It was just that some things were indeed beyond her imagination and understanding, such as her own master disguising herself as her senior sister and taking the initiative to find Mingyan. Ning Feixuan still hadn’t figured this out and could only find a relatively reasonable explanation.
But seeing her master’s performance in front of Mingyan before, Ning Feixuan could confirm that her master’s feelings for Mingyan were definitely not as simple as acting; she was probably already in a situation where the fake play had become real.
Her master had not used her identity as Ning Mengru to have anything happen with Mingyan but had deliberately changed to the identity of Yue Ningshuang. This meant that even if her master was not being very rational in doing such a thing, she had not completely lost her mind.
She still knew about ethics and morality. She still knew that the two of them were of different generations. She still knew that Yue Ningshuang could not be equal to Ning Mengru. So she refused to admit that Yue Ningshuang was her. Even if she had real feelings for Mingyan, she was unwilling to admit it, precisely because no matter how outrageous she was as Yue Ningshuang, when she returned to her identity as Ning Mengru, she would become rational again. If her master was given enough time to think, the conclusion she would reach would most likely be to take the initiative to cut off this relationship in the future.
Deliberately changing to the identity of Yue Ningshuang was originally to leave herself a way out. Ning Feixuan understood her own master.
Her pressing step by step was to not let her master calm down and think, to keep her master’s thoughts in a mess. Only in this way could Mingyan strike while the iron was hot and win her over.
Thinking of this, Ning Feixuan herself couldn’t help but sigh. When you were standing from a bystander’s perspective and looking at others’ matters, you always seemed incomparably clear. But if the person involved was yourself, you would not have this feeling at all. If only the relationship between herself and Mingyan were also so simple.
So after hearing Ning Mengru dismiss her, Ning Feixuan not only did not leave, but on the contrary, she looked up. “What if Mingyan also likes you?”
Ning Mengru had already turned her back to Ning Feixuan. After hearing her words, she paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at Ning Feixuan. After a brief silence, she said, “Mingyan won’t be as immature as you. I don’t know if he likes me, but even if he does, he won’t show it. He won’t make the originally pure relationship between us complicated and embarrassing.”
Originally pure relationship?
Is it really pure?
Master, do you really have the confidence to say this?
“Yes, Mingyan will do that. But Master, is there really no possibility between you and Mingyan?”
“Ning Feixuan!” Ning Mengru’s tone became heavier. “Don’t talk about this topic again in the future. I don’t know how you could have such an absurd idea. Between Mingyan and me, although we are not people from two different worlds, it is absolutely impossible for us to get together. I am your master, his elder, and of the same generation as his master. It is impossible to mess up the seniority. I hope I don’t have to say it again!”
If it weren’t for Ning Feixuan knowing that Yue Ningshuang was Ning Mengru, and knowing that her master’s feelings for Mingyan were definitely not that simple, Ning Feixuan might really not have said any more.
Since you have feelings for Mingyan, why are you unwilling to admit it?
Is Master lacking some courage…?
Since Master is willing to help me, why do I have to be so scrupulous?
This is helping Master, helping Mingyan, and even more so, helping myself…
Ning Feixuan looked at Ning Mengru and said a sentence she would never have been able to say before. “Master, I was thinking, if Mingyan likes you, can you use your identity… to help me?”
Ning Feixuan felt her face burning. How could she be so shameless to say such a thing…
But this was said under the condition that she knew her master had feelings for Mingyan. And, the main reason for saying it was not really to hope that her master would use her identity as Ning Mengru to help her, but to hope to use this method to give her master a reason… a reason to fall… no… a reason to see her own thoughts clearly…
Ning Mengru looked at Ning Feixuan in disbelief. She really hadn’t expected that her own disciple could say such shameless words. Was this still her proper and slightly serious disciple?
Was this still the Holy Maiden of Yaochi?
Has she completely disregarded everything?
“You, do you know what you’re talking about?” Ning Mengru paused for a long while before she asked.
“I know you think I’m absurd, but Master, think about it. Isn’t this the truth? You don’t have to be with Mingyan, you don’t even have to make it clear. You just need to use Mingyan’s feelings for you to help me, right?” Ning Feixuan’s beautiful face was hot, but there was no extra expression on her face.
If it weren’t for the various considerations behind it, to just say it out loud, she would definitely not have said such a thing. In her master’s eyes, she must seem terrible, right? Ning Mengru would probably be extremely disappointed in her. But Ning Feixuan didn’t care about these things anymore. In the future, her master would definitely be grateful to her.
“Absurd!” Ning Mengru finally couldn’t take it anymore. “How can you think like that? I am your master! Besides, for me to use Mingyan’s feelings for me to help you, you don’t really think that this will make Mingyan like you, do you? How have you become so utilitarian?”
Ning Feixuan didn’t want to explain, and she couldn’t. She knelt on one knee. “Please, Master… help me with this… disciple, I beg you, Master…”
