Chapter 65: 64 Someone is jealous! Jiang Yuan Appears at Dragon Head Peak (2 in 1 Big Chapter) _1 Divine Phoenix Peak, Fairy Cliff, Lotus Cave Mansion.
"Umm..."
. Xiao Hongling watched the injured young apprentice before her, sipped her wine, and said with a profound gaze in her phoenix eyes, "You certainly brought your junior martial sister here just in time, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? Master, could you please be more explicit?" Lin Xiao asked, feeling somewhat nervous.
After all, his junior martial sisterâs predicament was his fault. If anything serious happened to her, he wouldnât be able to live with himself, even if he ascended to immortality!
"Otherwise, her wounds would have healed naturally by now."
Xiao Hongling rolled her eyes, downed the fine wine in her hand, and let out a small burp. "By the way, Xiaoâer, where did you get that Thousand Year Blood Condensing Paste? Itâs quite rare."
"This... When your disciple went down the mountain for errands, it was gifted to me during a chance encounter," Lin Xiao quickly fabricated.
Luckily, this beautiful Master didnât dwell on the matter. Instead, she gazed at the sleeping girl on the Cold Jade Bed and murmured, "Xiaoâer, tell me... why does Yingying hate Ye Chen so much? She insists on fighting him to the death before the martial competition of the Five Branches?"
"This... Your disciple canât be sure."
Lin Xiao obviously couldnât admit it was because of him. "Ah, Master, whatâs there to even think about?" he said. "That scoundrel Ye Chen! I knew he was up to no good the moment I first saw him. Heâs a complete menace! Iâm sure Fourth Junior Sister sensed it too!"
"So, in this instance, itâs like... a husband and wife... oh, wait, no, a brother and sister joining forces to repel a common enemy!"
Hearing this, Xiao Honglingâs phoenix eyes narrowed. She walked over with her long, snow-white legs, stared at him for a few seconds, and then whispered, "You... When you had that dispute with Ye Chen at the apprentice induction ceremony, was it really because you sensed he had ulterior motives?"
"Of course!" Lin Xiao hurriedly affirmed. "Your discipleâs intuition has always been spot on! That guy looks shifty-eyed; heâs definitely not a good person!"
"Oh? My Xiaoâer truly has a keen eye," Xiao Hongling remarked, her lips curling up slightly.
"Eldest Senior Brother..."
Just then, a weak voice came from behind them.
"Yingying, youâre awake?" Overjoyed, Lin Xiao rushed to his junior martial sisterâs side and gently helped her sit up. "How are you feeling?"
"Um... Yingying seems... to be fine," Lu Yingying said, rubbing her eyes with a bewildered look. She apparently hadnât noticed her Master was nearby. "I just feel like Iâve been sleeping for a long, long time. My head is a bit dizzy... Mmph..."
Immediately afterwards, the young girl, whose delicate face resembled a dollâs and still held a hint of childishness, stretched out her slender arms towards Lin Xiao coquettishly. "Eldest Senior Brother, Yingying wants a hug..."
Damn it. This is not the time for her to say such things! Lin Xiaoâs heart lurched, and he quickly glanced at his beautiful Masterâs expression!
He remembered clearly! During the mobilization meeting, this beautiful Master had flown into a rage because heâd been overly familiar with his two junior martial sisters!
However, to his surprise, the beautiful Master pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Alright, alright! Your junior martial sister just went through a difficult ordeal. Her heart must still be unsettled. As the Eldest Senior Brother, you... just hug her and comfort her a little."
Having said that, she gritted her teeth and stepped aside.
Then, she turned her back and summoned a flask of Peach Blossom Fairy Brew from her Purple Mansion. After hesitating for a second, she chugged it all down!
GLUG, GLUG, GLUG, GLUG, GLUG...
Meanwhile, with his beautiful Masterâs permission, Lin Xiao no longer hesitated and pulled his junior martial sister into his arms!
Anyway, this girl has already seen through me! What else is there to pretend about? Besides, after I was confined to the Cliff of Reflection, the only people I interacted with were Yurong and Youwei, my other two junior martial sisters. It had nothing to do with this little junior sister. With this thought, Lin Xiao held the delicate body, which felt as if it had no bones, even tighter, almost as if trying to merge her completely into himself.
An intoxicating girlish fragrance assailed his nostrils.
In an instant, Lin Xiaoâs Formless Sword Body grew incredibly firm, as if poised to unleash devastating power at any moment.
"Eldest Senior Brother, being held by you like this... feels so comfortable!" Lu Yingying giggled happily, snuggling deeper into Lin Xiaoâs embrace like a kitten.
Her voice was light and soft, carrying both girlish shyness and a seductive quality that belied her years.
She spoke close to Lin Xiaoâs ear, making his heart flutter. Suddenly remembering he was supposed to be playing the villain, his hands instinctively began to explore the young girlâs petite and frail body.
To his utter surprise, Lu Yingying glanced over, seemingly noticing his intentions. Her lips curled into a sly smile that was completely at odds with her apparent age.
Then, she extended a delicate, snow-white hand, took his large hand in hers, and guided it towards her slightly raised, tempting chest...
"Woah, Yingying, are you for real?!"
Is this... an offense committed right in front of Master? In an instant, Lin Xiao regained some of his senses. He only lingered for a second before forcibly creating some distance between them.
Just as the atmosphere between them turned awkward, a cough came from behind.
COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH...
"That should be enough, donât you think?"
Lin Xiao was startled and quickly turned around. He saw a tall, graceful figure with long, shapely legs. She was half-turned away from him, revealing only her stunningly beautiful, yet cold, side profile.
"Master..." Lin Xiao began.
Then, a weak and pitiful girlish voice interjected, "Master, Yingying feels awful. There are some things I want to say to Eldest Senior Brother in private. So, could you please give us a moment...?"
