Chapter 1252: Chapter 1253: Faking Illness
“Alright! I’ll trust you this once, but if I find out you have anything going on with that fox spirit, I’ll kill you.”
Without solid evidence, Xiaofang didn’t want to wrong Lin Yifan casually, lest their relationship suffer.
“Don’t worry, babe, I definitely won’t.”
Lin Yifan sighed in relief, as long as Xiaofang was willing to trust him, everything could be worked out.
With her mind at ease, Xiaofang gently asked, “Yifan, are you visiting the Cinnabar Palace to see Sister An Qi?”
“Yes! It’s been a long ti since I last saw her, I really miss her; now that I have the chance, I must go see her.” Lin Yifan replied.
“Then please pass a ssage for , tell her I miss her too and she should co out whenever she’s free, so the three of us can get together.” Xiaofang instructed.
Nowadays, this “big family” had changed, Sister Jiajia and younger sister Qingqing were captured, leaving only her by Lin Yifan’s side.
The burden on Lin Yifan was trendously heavy, he was cultivating almost every day, thinking about how to quickly elevate his realm.
She really wanted to ease Lin Yifan’s worries, but the ability of one person is limited, so she hoped Sister An Qi could find ti to accompany Lin Yifan and lift his spirits.
“Got it!” Lin Yifan nodded in response.
This request wasn’t hard, if he saw An Qi at the Cinnabar Palace, he would definitely pass on the ssage to her.
Ti was tight, and Xiaofang didn’t want to disturb Lin Yifan much, so after a few reminders for him to take care of his health and keep warm, she left Lin Yifan’s room.
Lin Yifan collected his thoughts and began the refinent of Marrow Cleansing Pills.
The Marrow Cleansing Pills were the highest grade rank elixirs ordered by Cinnabar Palace disciples, and he wanted to start with the hardest one; once he mastered the difficult ones, the rest would be easy.
Just as he was getting ready, Du Yuze arrived. However, Du Yuze couldn’t enter Peach Blossom Pond because he hadn’t received permission to enter.
Generally, only those at the True Master Realm could reside at Peach Blossom Pond, Lin Yifan and Xiaofang were exceptions, granted special permission to live there.
Though he couldn’t go in, he could ask senior brothers and sisters or lower-ranked elders to pass on ssages.
While waiting outside, he suddenly saw Third Senior Sister coming out, so he quickly stopped her and asked her to call Lin Yifan out because he had sothing to discuss.
Mao Yingnan was puzzled as to why Du Yuze was lurking sneakily outside Peach Blossom Pond, holding a sack the color of dull yellow.
The sack was bumpy, appearing to contain sothing, but she didn’t know what.
Curiosity piqued, she mischievously grabbed the sack from Du Yuze, opening it while asking, “What’s this?”
As the sack was snatched, Du Yuze was anxious because it contained elixirs for Lin Yifan, and if Mao Yingnan took them, he wouldn’t know how to explain to Lin Yifan.
“Hey, hey, hey! Senior Sister, these are elixirs, not so valuable treasures.”
Du Yuze responded while reaching out to try and retrieve the sack.
However, how could Third Senior Sister let him succeed, so she kept moving the sack out of his reach.
Du Yuze gave up.
He couldn’t beat Third Senior Sister; he wasn’t as senior, nor could he afford to lose his temper with her.
The sack was already open, and Mao Yingnan slled a dicinal aroma and saw several dicine bottles inside, confirming they were indeed elixirs.
But what on earth was Du Yuze planning to do with so many elixirs? She couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you get these elixirs, and what do you plan to do with them?”
“These elixirs are mine, Junior Brother Lin needs them, so I plan to give them to him!”
Du Yuze spoke truthfully without holding back.
“So generous, huh? How co you rarely send any bottles my way, Senior Sister?”
Mao Yingnan felt a tinge of jealousy, disgruntled with Du Yuze’s biased behavior.
“Senior Sister, you’re already at the True Master Realm; do you still need such low-grade pills?” Du Yuze retorted.
He would have loved to give Senior Sister elixirs, but would she even appreciate them? The answer was no because all the elixirs he could refine she could as well; the ones she needed, he likely couldn’t produce any.
Mao Yingnan had to admit Du Yuze had a point, she really didn’t need Primordial Nourishing Pills or Yuan Force Pills.
So she returned the sack to Du Yuze and went in to pass on the ssage for him.
Du Yuze was already halfway into the True Master Realm; helping each other out would be mutually beneficial for future occasions.
“Tap, tap, tap! Tap, tap, tap!”
As Lin Yifan was about to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pills, he was startled by a series of urgent knocks, prompting him to ask, “Who?”
“Your defeated foe!”
Mao Yingnan self-deprecatingly answered.
Ever since losing to Lin Yifan at the sa realm, she had been downcast, avoiding eting people, fearing ridicule.
Furthermore, she sincerely accepted her loss and dared not boast in front of Lin Yifan, thus resorting to such a self-mocking title.
Hearing that familiar voice, Lin Yifan guessed who was outside, so he feigned illness, trying to keep Mao Yingnan at the door.
“Cough, cough! Third Senior Sister, you… why… what brings you to see , Junior Brother?”
“What’s wrong with you? Why does your voice suddenly sound so odd?” Mao Yingnan curiously asked.
“I’m sick,” Lin Yifan replied.
“Oh, co on!” Mao Yingnan rolled her eyes and uncovered Lin Yifan’s pretense, warning, “What are you playing at? Just say if you don’t want to see Senior Sister. Also, let remind you, if you miss out on any news, don’t bla later.”
With those words, she angrily turned and marched away.
Hearing the latter part of her sentence, Lin Yifan realized Mao Yingnan ca to relay a ssage, quickly opened the door, chased after her, and urgently pleaded, “Hey, hey, hey! Senior Sister! Wait! Wait! Don’t leave!”
“Why? Didn’t you say you didn’t want to see Senior Sister?”
Mao Yingnan paused, asking with satisfaction.
“Who said that? Junior Brother never did.” Lin Yifan denied it completely.
“Such pretenses! Does Senior Sister not know the little sches you have in your stomach? I’ve been around longer than you could even imagine,” Mao Yingnan scoffed, refusing to believe Lin Yifan’s words unless she was foolish.
“Haha! Senior Sister is wise, nothing escapes your eagle eyes.” Lin Yifan greeted her with a flattering smile.
Since he had a request, he had to humble himself, plus earlier, he really did act disrespectfully toward Third Senior Sister and her intelligence.
“Alright! Alright! I have things to do, not going to waste more ti with you. Du Yuze is waiting outside the Peach Blossom Pond; you deal with it yourself.”
With that, she imdiately used her Qinggong technique to fly away.
Watching Third Senior Sister’s slightly annoyed departing figure, Lin Yifan felt full of guilt and then sincerely thanked, “Thank you, Senior Sister, for passing on the ssage!”
His own cleverness made the relationship between junior and senior sisters awkwardly strained; in the future, he’d feel a bit sheepish facing Third Senior Sister.
