Chapter 87: Backstabbed by a Disciple
What Master was concerned about was nothing more than worrying about others gossiping about their relationship and seniority, right?
To put all this aside was easier said than done.
But her master had really been moved by Mingyan. It was just that she lacked courage, so she couldn’t make it clear.
Did her master really want to be lonely for the rest of her life? Did she really want that?
If it weren’t for the matter of Yue Ningshuang, Ning Feixuan would naturally not have interfered with Ning Mengru’s choice. What her master thought was her freedom. But now, she had already been moved and just lacked some courage. Ning Feixuan wanted to help her. And, this in itself was also helping Ning Feixuan.
Since this relationship had long since become absurd, why not make it a little more absurd…
Ning Mengru looked at Ning Feixuan and suddenly found that her disciple had become a little strange… was this still the Ning Feixuan who, after entering the sect, had worked hard to cultivate and was determined to take revenge?
Although Ning Mengru didn’t particularly like that version of Ning Feixuan—after all, she still hoped that her own disciple would not be entangled in deep hatred all day and hoped that she, like others, would have a long path of cultivation. If she was so depressed all the way, there would be problems. She had to find some joyful things…
But now, was this a bit too much? Ning Feixuan even wanted her to use Mingyan’s feelings for her to help her?!
Ning Mengru’s heart was a little disappointed. But hearing Ning Feixuan’s sincere tone and thinking of her current situation, the words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue, but she stopped…
Using the identity of Yue Ningshuang to help Ning Feixuan, the help was quite limited. Because at the beginning, the goal was not to have one more person who could whisper in Mingyan’s ear, but was originally intended to give the identity of Yue Ningshuang to Ning Feixuan. So the personality of Yue Ningshuang was problematic from the beginning. She couldn’t whisper too much; “Yue Ningshuang” was a person who would almost completely think from Mingyan’s perspective. So as long as Mingyan showed the slightest reluctance, “Yue Ningshuang” couldn’t continue to speak.
This made Ning Mengru feel quite troubled. It was not once or twice that she had talked to Mingyan about Ning Feixuan. But the final result was that Ning Feixuan herself had fought for Mingyan to be willing to give her a chance. To say that Yue Ningshuang had helped Ning Feixuan, it really seemed optional…
Ning Mengru was silent. And Ning Feixuan knelt on one knee, silent, waiting for her master’s reply.
Ning Feixuan knew that she had bet right. Her master had been thinking for so long; in fact, she had already been considering her method… no matter how much her image in her master’s heart had collapsed now, in the future, after her master and Mingyan got together, Ning Mengru would be grateful to her. It didn’t matter.
“Haven’t you and Mingyan already made some progress? Why do you still need your master to help you?” Ning Mengru sighed and said.
“Mingyan just plans to give me a chance. A chance. I’m not sure if I can seize it…” Ning Feixuan lowered her head and said, “But if you are willing to help me, Master, I am confident that I am ninety percent sure.”
Ninety percent sure…
“Do you really think that Mingyan will listen to my words? I have also tried to talk to him before, wanting to help you, but I was rejected by him,” Ning Mengru thought of a long time ago, before she had disguised herself as Yue Ningshuang. She had tried to talk to Mingyan about his and Ning Feixuan’s marriage contract, but at that time, Mingyan had denied it immediately. So Ning Mengru could only change the subject and say that it was not Ning Feixuan, but someone else. Only then did Yue Ningshuang appear.
“Now is different from before, Master. If you hint at Mingyan a little and let him feel that it’s not impossible between you and him, his attitude towards you will change greatly,” hearing this, Ning Feixuan was a little surprised, and also a little ashamed. It turned out that her master had tried long ago. And she… although she could be considered to be helping her master, the current situation was also a plot against her master…
Ning Mengru looked at Ning Feixuan deeply. “You have rarely asked me for anything. Most of the time, you also like to be self-reliant. As your master, the help I have given you is not much. Since you have asked me, I can consider it. But I must tell you that in this matter, you have disappointed me greatly.”
Ning Feixuan lowered her head, silent.
“Leave. I will consider it,” Ning Mengru waved her hand tiredly and began to dismiss her. Ning Feixuan did not stay long and turned to leave the Queen Mother’s Hall.
After Ning Feixuan left, Ning Mengru finally sighed.
No matter how close she got to Mingyan with the identity of Yue Ningshuang, she was unwilling to involve her identity as Ning Mengru. Mingyan had asked her to disguise herself as Ning Mengru… and Ning Feixuan had asked her to use Mingyan’s feelings for her to help her… these two were not willing to give her a little breathing space…
Should I help Feixuan?
Ning Feixuan’s feelings for Mingyan had almost become an obsession. If she could let go like Mingyan had before, that would be fine. But if she didn’t, this would probably become a heart-demon on her path of cultivation. For now, it was nothing. In the future, it would probably become a hidden danger on Ning Feixuan’s path of cultivation.
But if she really had to help her… then the boundary between herself and Mingyan would become more and more blurred…
And, if she really had to use her identity as Ning Mengru to help Mingyan, then this identity of Yue Ningshuang, could it also disappear…?
After all, the reason for the existence of the “Yue Ningshuang” identity was to help Feixuan…
That’s right. After all, her original purpose was to help Feixuan. Now that Feixuan had found a seemingly feasible plan, why should she refuse?
Was it because she was dissatisfied with Feixuan using Mingyan’s feelings for her? Or something else?
Ning Mengru stood alone in the Queen Mother’s Hall, lost in silence.
After Ning Feixuan left the hall, she found Mingyan and told him about her chat with Ning Mengru in full detail via mental message.
Mingyan looked at Ning Feixuan, wanting to say something several times but hesitating. Later, he finally couldn’t help but say, “If you say so, isn’t your master extremely disappointed in you?”
“Yes… but my master has already turned this fake play with you into something real. In the future, she might even have to thank me. Now that she is disappointed in me, it doesn’t matter. And, it can also help you,” Ning Feixuan sent a mental message.
Mingyan looked at Ning Feixuan and felt that she had really changed…
“If your master agrees, then at that time, your relationship with her can be clarified with her tacit approval. It will also be very helpful to you, right?” Ning Feixuan said.
“That’s right…”
As long as Ning Feixuan kept whispering in Ning Mengru’s ear, the help to Mingyan would indeed be great. Before, what Ning Feixuan had said to Ning Mengru was just a hint… at that time, how could it be just a hint? How Mingyan wanted to play, wasn’t it up to him?
This move of Ning Feixuan’s was too despicable. If Ning Mengru really agreed, then there would really be no room for her to turn back…
So… a stab from the closest person is the deepest…
