Chapter 141: Why is There Always Someone Trying to Stir Up Trouble?
Hearing Su Yan say this, Xiao Wu blushed and said, “B-beautiful… I’m just average.”
Although she said that, the expression on her face exposed her true thoughts.
To be praised so much by Su Yan, she was extremely happy. There was nothing more gratifying than being praised by the person one liked.
Su Yan said curiously, “By the way, I’ve noticed that you’ve been taking long and frequent baths recently. Why is that?”
“Ah, this…”
Hearing Su Yan’s words, Xiao Wu stammered. The reason she was bathing frequently was all because of her junior brother. He teased her every day. How could she possibly hold it in!
It was very uncomfortable when she couldn’t hold it in, so she had to use cold water to forcefully calm herself down.
Of course, that was just one of the reasons.
Ever since her relationship with her junior brother had become more intimate, the number of times she changed her pants had noticeably increased, and she had to do laundry more frequently. The reason for this was difficult to talk about.
And besides these, the more important reason was to clean her feet.
Xiao Wu hadn’t forgotten what Su Yan had done to her that day. He had actually licked her there.
She hadn’t been prepared at that time and had been cooped up in her quilt all day, sweating a little. Her junior brother definitely wouldn’t have liked it.
To prevent this from happening again, Xiao Wu would carefully clean her jade-like feet every time she took a bath, not even sparing the gaps between her toes, which was why her bathing time had been extended.
Of course, this was something she definitely couldn’t talk about.
“I’ve been feeling a little unwell recently. It’s good to wash more.”
Xiao Wu casually found a reason.
“Oh, I see.”
Su Yan didn’t mind and continued to study with his senior sister.
…
The days on Heavenly Water Peak were very fulfilling. Under Xiao Wu’s careful guidance, Su Yan had completely mastered his current strength.
According to his estimation, although he was only at the early Golden Core stage now, he could also take on stronger opponents. Even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t be completely helpless.
“Your progress is very fast.”
Xiao Wu sighed with emotion. As a man, to be able to learn so quickly, not inferior to a woman, was truly astonishing.
“This is all thanks to Senior Sister’s good teaching.”
Su Yan once again expressed his gratitude. To thank Xiao Wu for her hard work during this period, he had specially added more dishes for her at lunch and had made a lot of delicious food.
“Your cooking is amazing. I never get tired of it.”
Xiao Wu said as she wiped her mouth. This meal was very satisfying, and sweat was even dripping from her forehead.
“If you like it, then eat more.”
Su Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Wu nodded.
After finishing lunch, they went for a leisurely walk together. On the way, they met Senior Sister Ling Ling.
Seeing the two of them together, a strong sense of jealousy appeared in Ling Ling’s eyes. She walked up and said, “What, you two just happened to meet again today?”
“Of course not. Junior Brother treated me to a meal, and now we’re going for a walk after we’re done.”
Xiao Wu knew that Ling Ling had ideas about Su Yan and wanted to hint that her relationship with him was intimate to make her take the initiative to withdraw. But what kind of person was Ling Ling? Of course, that was impossible.
Her expression changed, and she bit her lip. “I see. But isn’t that a bit inappropriate? Junior Brother is not yet married. You go to his place every day, Senior Sister. Aren’t you afraid of people gossiping?”
“Gossip? What kind of gossip can there be?”
Xiao Wu turned her head and said, “Junior Brother, do you think I’ve brought you any trouble?”
“Of course not.”
Su Yan said subconsciously. When he saw Ling Ling’s unpleasant face, he realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to remedy it. “Ah… uh, it doesn’t matter if Senior Sister comes to find me. After all, we’re fellow disciples. The same goes for you, Senior Sister Ling. I welcome you all.”
Although he preferred Senior Sister Xiao Wu in his heart, after spending so much time together, Ling Ling had taken great care of him. Su Yan didn’t want his relationship with her to worsen and wanted to remain friends with her.
Hearing Su Yan say this, Xiao Wu’s expression was a little grim. A slight smile appeared on Ling Ling’s face. “I’m relieved to hear you say that.”
“Relieved? What are you relieved about? Stay away from him!”
Xiao Wu glared at Ling Ling with unfriendly eyes, wanting her to leave quickly.
“Why should I leave? Junior Brother is not yours. We have to compete fairly. Are you trying to pull some strings behind the scenes!”
This was the meaning in Ling Ling’s eyes.
Xiao Wu snorted coldly. Her junior sister really hadn’t given up. She really couldn’t relax for a moment and had to be on high alert.
But this was not a solution. Was there any way to make her give up?
“Unless Junior Brother confirms our relationship.”
Xiao Wu muttered to herself and quickly came up with an idea.
As long as her junior brother became hers, no matter how unwilling Junior Sister Ling Ling was, she couldn’t possibly tease a married man.
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. But now the problem was, how could she confirm her relationship with her junior brother?
“Just have a showdown with him?”
Xiao Wu just thought about it and then gave up on the idea.
She could see that her junior brother had a very good impression of her, but it hadn’t reached the point of wanting to spend the rest of his life with her. If she rashly made this request, she would very likely be rejected by her junior brother, and it would be difficult to clean up the mess then.
“I have to be more intimate with him. Only then can I be sure.”
Xiao Wu thought to herself and began to think of a plan.
Su Yan did not know what Xiao Wu was thinking. At this moment, all his attention was attracted by Ling Ling.
“What? There’s such a thing?”
Su Yan’s mouth was agape in surprise.
Ling Ling nodded and said, “This matter is causing a huge uproar. You actually don’t know?”
Su Yan said, “I’ve been focused on cultivating recently and haven’t paid attention to what’s happening outside.”
Ling Ling said, “It’s all over the sect. I thought you already knew.”
Ling Ling talked about the recent hot topic. A mysterious organization had suddenly appeared and had become famous in a short period of time.
“The Heavenly Profound Pavilion wants to rank all the beauties in the world and has launched the Immortal Beauty Ranking. There are already many names on the list now, all of them famous beauties in the cultivation world, which has aroused everyone’s strong curiosity.”
“They actually dare to do that?”
Su Yan was very surprised. To seek fame and fortune was human nature. No one would easily submit to others. Those who could be on the Immortal Beauty Ranking must all be nation-toppling beauties. If they were ranked below others, how could they be willing?
It was a thankless task. It was very easy to offend people by doing this!
Su Yan saw the problem at a glance. Although the Immortal Beauty Ranking had nothing to do with strength and did not consider this factor, beauty and strength were inseparable.
If these beauties whispered in their partners’ ears, there would definitely be experts who would go and cause trouble. This was just asking for trouble.
“Who knows.”
Ling Ling waved her hand and said, “We don’t need to worry about these things. Since they dare to rank them, they must have their own confidence. I’m telling you this because it also involves you.”
