Ruo i’s body stiffened, she didn’t answer, nor did she dare to look at Qin Gengyun, quickening her steps forward.
Watching her slightly panicked back, Qin Gengyun’s mouth slightly curved up.
My dear, let’s see how long you can hold up!
When I completely tear off your disguise, I will surely punish you properly for hiding it from for so long!
Xia Qinglian walked alone at the front, a surge of panic, annoyance, and helplessness rising in her heart.
She didn’t want not to stay with Qin Gengyun every day, but the things she would do in the future would inevitably implicate him, so she dared not acknowledge him.
She had originally sealed herself in the relics of Cyan Lotus Sect, but was forced by the residual soul of Zhenyang Zi to Zhenyang Sect.
She intended to lurk quietly using Ruo i’s identity, hoping not to implicate her husband.
Unexpectedly, she couldn’t keep it a secret after all.
But now, with so many people around, how could she acknowledge him?
Xia Qinglian couldn’t help but look back, only to see Qin Gengyun also looking at her, with a delighted and smug smile on his lips.
A look that seed to say, "My dear, I’ve finally caught you."
Xia Qinglian felt a tinge of sweetness in her heart, then annoyance, as she glared at him angrily.
In just a few short months in Zhenyang Sect, you’ve caused so many romantic troubles; the Rock Conference’s striptease flirtations, Zhou Ling’Er, Xu Caihe...all these pretty won, your relations are unclear.
And with your bosom friend, you’re getting ever closer.
I’m keeping track of all this!
The couple exchanged glances, both determining in their hearts to properly punish each other.
Walking between them, Liu Su looked puzzled, nudging Mo Xiaolan beside her:
"What’s going on with my brother and Ruo i?"
Mo Xiaolan glanced at her, suddenly finding it amusing.
Previously, it was Susu helping Taoist Friend Qiu keep things from Qin Gengyun, and now it’s Qin Gengyun turning around and hiding things from Susu.
These two fighting, with the little maid caught in the middle, is hard to manage.
"Junior Brother Lan."
At this mont, Wei Wan walked to Mo Xiaolan’s side, speaking to her with a gentle voice:
"I just rembered, there’s sothing I forgot to ask you."
Mo Xiaolan cupped her hands and said, "Please ask, Senior Sister."
Wei Wan smiled and said, "I rember last night when assigning rooms, you were sharing a room with Junior Brother He, so why, when Jiao attacked, were you with Junior Sister Fang?"
Mo Xiaolan was taken aback, not expecting Wei Wan would notice such a trivial detail.
At the mont, she didn’t know how to answer.
Wei Wan looked at her, gentle as water, but a gleam flickered in her eyes and disappeared:
"Originally, He Zhiqiu was sharing a room with you, and now with Ruo i, why did the four of you switch rooms in the middle?"
Wei Wan’s voice remained gentle, but her eyes were fixed tightly on Mo Xiaolan, an invisible pressure enveloping Mo Xiaolan, making her heartbeat quicken, unsure of how to reply.
"Senior Sister, it was I who asked Junior Sister Fang to swap rooms with ."
Qin Gengyun walked to their side and spoke to Wei Wan.
"Oh?"
Wei Wan looked at him, slowly asking, "Junior Brother He, why did you do that?"
Qin Gengyun seriously said, "To be honest, Senior Sister, since I saw Junior Sister Ruo in the Outer Sect Great Competition, I’ve been infatuated with her. Last night I swapped rooms with Junior Sister Fang hoping to protect Junior Sister Ruo and also to take the opportunity to get closer to her."
Wei Wan’s face slightly darkened: "He Zhiqiu, n and won are different, you and Junior Sister Ruo are not Taoist couples. Entering a woman’s room at night—such behavior goes against the righteous path of our Zhenyang Sect!"
At this mont Wei Wan’s tone was unusually severe, and others turned to look over, beginning to gossip.
"Did Junior Brother He actually sneak into Junior Sister Ruo’s room at night?!"
"Such conduct is no different from a flower thief!"
"Lack of virtue, shaless!"
Just then, a soft, shy voice sounded:
"Senior Sister, I invited Senior Brother He to my room."
Everyone was stunned, looking at the speaker, it was the petite and lovable Ruo i, her little face slightly red, deanor bashful, adding more charm.
Especially those soft, rippling big eyes, carrying a hint of shyness and slight annoyance, looking at He Zhiqiu, completely evoking the feeling of a young girl shyly complaining to her lover, a playful banter.
The crowd was taken aback.
Impossible, when did this damned He Zhiqiu beco so close to Junior Sister Ruo?
Many male disciples had a fondness for Ruo i, not expecting this endearing Junior Sister to have already been claid.
Yet they didn’t know, Junior Sister Ruo’s glance at He Zhiqiu contained not only shyness but also a strong hint of jealousy.
Sharing a room with Mo Xiaolan, and having such a rapport with Fang Xue, oh my husband, you’re quite impressive.
Just wait!
Qin Gengyun also sensed the aning in his wife’s gaze, and his scalp tingled.
Uh-oh, it seems she misunderstood sothing?
Seeing the couple exchanging glances publicly, Wei Wan had no choice but to move past the matter, facing the crowd sternly she said:
"We’re splitting into five groups, each with a guide. Rember not to engage in battle with low-level demonic beasts, just search for the Jiao."
"If you encounter the Jiao, don’t fight recklessly, send a signal to imdiately!"
"Yes!"
Wei Wan then divided the group into five, and whether intentional or not, separated Qin Gengyun, Liu Su, Mo Xiaolan, and Ruo i into four different groups.
Except for Qin Gengyun, the mbers of his group were all female disciples.
And they were all charming and beautiful female disciples like Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er.
"Senior Sister, why is it just Junior Sisters on my side?"
Qin Gengyun had already felt the cold gaze from Ruo i, hurriedly asking Wei Wan.
Wei Wan replied, "Your body’s resilience allows you to block from the front, while the Junior Sisters can unleash their attacks behind you. Such a configuration is most ideal. Junior Brother He, the safety of the Junior Sisters is entrusted to you."
Xu Caihe also said to Qin Gengyun, "Senior Brother He, I trust you. May we collaborate seamlessly to vanquish the demonic beasts!"
Zhou Ling’Er and the other female disciples chid in, "We trust Senior Brother He!"
Qin Gengyun was stunned, and in his ear, he heard a faint cold laugh:
"Hehe."
He turned to look at Ruo i, an innocent look on his face, but Ruo i ignored him, coldly turning her head away.
Qin Gengyun helplessly looked at Wei Wan, she did it on purpose, didn’t she?
Especially since Wei Wan placed Ruo i in her own group, under the guise of protection, but Qin Gengyun knew that protection was false and surveillance was true.
Wei Wan seed to have started suspecting the group.
Qin Gengyun recalled when in Zhenyang Sect that Yun Wu had doubts about Wei Wan’s identity.
This gentle and serene Second Senior Sister seed really to be hiding so secret?
anwhile, Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan had already joined their respective groups, both looking over at Qin Gengyun, exchanging glances, slightly nodding.
Qin Gengyun then looked towards Ruo i, whose gaze no longer flinched, her lips slightly moved, and Qin Gengyun read what she said:
"Be careful."
Wei Wan looked at the crowd, and said loudly: "Move out!"
Thus, the disciples of Zhenyang Sect split into five groups, each with a guide, heading towards different directions on Yunling Mountain.
