Evening.
After Chu Xianning finished bathing, it was Luo Yueguan’s turn. However, Luo Yueguan grabbed Jiang Huai’s hand and said, “Let’s go, let’s go, time to bathe.”
Chu Xianning was sitting nearby. Luo Yueguan was clearly provoking her! She was so mischievous now, completely enjoying the chaos without adding to it. Jiang Huai was a little hesitant at the moment, but Luo Yueguan put on a pitiable act, “You have to sleep with her tonight. You’re already sleeping with her, so what’s wrong with bathing with me?”
Chu Xianning, sitting to the side, took a deep breath and said faintly, “He’s sleeping with you tonight. I won’t let him into my room.”
Luo Yueguan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled coyly and looked at Chu Xianning, “Are you jealous, Chu Xianning?”
“No.”
“No? Hahahaha.” Luo Yueguan covered her mouth and laughed, her chest heaving. She suddenly blinked at Chu Xianning, “Why don’t you come to my room tonight too?”
Chu Xianning shot her a sidelong glance.
“You’re such a cold and aloof, unromantic woman. You should learn some bedroom fun.” As soon as Luo Yueguan finished speaking, Jiang Huai reached out and covered her lips, “Alright, alright, no more talking.”
Chu Xianning remained seated quietly, taking a deep breath.
She really wanted to kill this pair of lovebirds in front of her.

Ultimately, Luo Yueguan couldn’t drag Jiang Huai to bathe and went alone. When she came out, her backless, high-slit black long dress accentuated her alluring figure. A few water droplets still clung to her snow-white, fragrant chest. She leaned close to Jiang Huai’s ear and whispered playfully, “I’ll wait for you in my room.”
With that, she swayed her slender waist and returned to her room. When Jiang Huai finished bathing and came back, Chu Xianning was still sitting in the courtyard. Jiang Huai gave her another subtle wink, “Tonight…”
“You go,” Chu Xianning pointed to Luo Yueguan’s room. A moment later, she said calmly, “What she said makes sense. Since you’re only here at the sect for two days, you should spend more time with her.”
Jiang Huai subtly observed Chu Xianning’s eyes and found that she was merely cool, not angry. He breathed a quiet sigh of relief and whispered, “Then… goodnight, Master.”
But Chu Xianning stood up, “It’s not goodnight.”
“Ah?”
She stood beside Jiang Huai and said faintly, “Go.”
As soon as Jiang Huai took a few steps, Chu Xianning followed him closely. When Jiang Huai pushed the door open, Chu Xianning was standing there too. At this moment, Luo Yueguan, lying on the bed, was lying on her side, her graceful posture fully displayed. Her previously fair and slender legs were now adorned with a pair of sheer, translucent black stockings. Her fingertips were gently tearing at the stockings, creating rips and tears, as if her white and tender legs were about to spill out.
But upon seeing Chu Xianning in a white dress beside Jiang Huai, she suddenly froze.
Chu Xianning said nothing. Instead, she pushed Jiang Huai aside, moved a chair in the room, and sat down by the bedside. Her eyes were as cold as ever, and she calmly looked at Luo Yueguan, “As you said, I’ve come to learn. Please proceed.”
Luo Yueguan’s body stiffened first, her eyes darting away, “You, you you you…”
“Please?” Chu Xianning tilted her head, her gaze chillingly sweeping over Jiang Huai. She crossed her arms, her legs crossed beneath her skirt, her white and tender jade foot slightly raised.
Jiang Huai was already sweating profusely.
Luo Yueguan also seemed to be sweating profusely.
It seemed she only said it to be provocative. If Chu Xianning were to actually watch her for a while, begging for mercy as her buttocks were being toyed with, she would probably want to dig a hole and crawl into it. At this moment, she stammered at Chu Xianning, “My apologies, my apologies, alright? I’ll let Jiang Huai sleep with you tonight, okay?”
“I don’t want to, I don’t want to sleep with him.” Chu Xianning shook her head, “Please.”
“No, Chu Xianning… how can you bully people like this…”
“You were the one who asked me to come.” Chu Xianning spoke again, “Please.”
Luo Yueguan looked at her with resentment and dissatisfaction, but Chu Xianning remained silent, simply crossing her arms, leaning back in her chair, and staring directly at Luo Yueguan. The more Luo Yueguan thought about it, the angrier she became. She had never endured such humiliation before! In an instant, she gave up all pretense, “Do you really want to learn?”
“Please.”
It was over. Chu Xianning had become a broken record.
In an instant, Luo Yueguan turned around angrily, her body propped over the headboard, her cheek pressed against the wood. She knelt down, her snow-white, full buttocks pressing against her calves. She slightly arched her backside and looked back at Jiang Huai, “She… if she wants to stay, let her stay. We’ll do our thing…”
Jiang Huai was the one truly sweating profusely.
Because Chu Xianning’s gaze had now fallen on his face. Jiang Huai walked forward stuttering, turning his head back and forth. Just as Jiang Huai opened his mouth to coax Chu Xianning back, Chu Xianning spoke again, “Please.”
“No, it’s not… Master… this…”
As Jiang Huai stammered, Luo Yueguan called out to him again, “Ignore her, come and coax your sister…”
As she spoke, she gently jiggled her peach-like buttocks. Even though her buttocks were covered by her skirt at this moment, they were still so seductive.
“No, it’s not…”
Jiang Huai wanted to die.

“Coward!” Luo Yueguan turned around and looked at Jiang Huai, “She’s staring at you, so you don’t dare to bully me?”
“You won’t even turn your face around…”
“Me? I don’t dare? How can I not dare? You… lie down on the bed now. I, I, I’ll ride her for you to see!” Luo Yueguan gritted her teeth and angrily pulled on Jiang Huai’s sleeve. When Jiang Huai was truly lying on the bed and his clothes were slowly being shed by her, Luo Yueguan glanced back at Chu Xianning. At this moment, Chu Xianning’s face still showed no shyness, remaining cold and aloof. Her white and tender little feet glowed like jade under the lamplight, and her cheeks were bathed in light. There seemed to be a hint of disdain and playfulness in her dark eyes.
Luo Yueguan’s mind raced with various thoughts for a long time, but she still didn’t dare to sit on Jiang Huai. Her gaze towards Chu Xianning finally revealed a hint of surrender. She muttered softly, “I admit defeat, Chu Xianning. I was wrong, okay? I was wrong.”
“You are not wrong.” Chu Xianning shook her head, “I just came to learn. Please proceed.”
“Don’t push your luck, Chu Xianning!”
“Please.”
“I, I… I…” Luo Yueguan grew more embarrassed and angry the more she thought about it. Jiang Huai got up, came closer, and gently embraced her, patting her back, “Alright, alright. Why don’t we just go to sleep then?”
“She’s bullying me…”
“How is she bullying you?”
“She just wants to prove to me that you don’t dare to do anything to me in front of her, proving that you still listen to her more, that you like her more.”
“Master doesn’t think that way.” Jiang Huai said softly, but Luo Yueguan’s voice became increasingly aggrieved, “You do! You’re always taking her side!”
“No,” Chu Xianning responded coolly from the side.
“Then why don’t you dare to bully me in front of her?” Luo Yueguan burrowed her head into his embrace, her voice growing more and more wronged, as if on the verge of tears. Jiang Huai lowered his head, looked at her from afar, and whispered something into her ear. Luo Yueguan was stunned for a moment, then obediently got up and lay down on the bed. Her upper body was covered by the quilt, but her buttocks were raised high.
A moment later, her toes curled up completely, and her hands gently covered her mouth.
“I won… Chu Xianning… I won…”
Unfortunately, the only response she received was a gentle pat on her buttocks by Jiang Huai, which made her unable to speak due to the more excessive teasing.
When Luo Yueguan lifted the quilt, her cheeks were flushed, and she was panting softly. When she turned her face and looked back at Chu Xianning beside her, Chu Xianning was still quietly drinking tea. Her eyes showed neither anger nor shyness, just a calm glance at her. After a while, she heard Chu Xianning softly ask, “Doesn’t it hurt?”
Luo Yueguan shook her head and looked at her charmingly, a hint of drunken seductiveness in her eyes, “Why don’t you try and find out?”
“I won’t,” Chu Xianning nodded lightly, “Boring. I’m leaving. You two continue.”
With that, she stood up and gracefully left the room. She even gently closed the door for them. As soon as Chu Xianning left, Luo Yueguan pounced on Jiang Huai, cupping his face with her hands, “When did you start bullying Chu Xianning like this?”
“Chu Xianning isn’t someone I can bully just because I want to.”
“You don’t understand Chu Xianning,” Luo Yueguan shook her head. At this moment, her eyes suddenly retracted all traces of grievance and shyness. “Chu Xianning is very thin-skinned. She believes in gradual progress. Now that she’s seen me being bullied by you like this, she won’t feel so awkward when you want to bully her in the future.”
Jiang Huai’s eyes twitched slightly, but Luo Yueguan had already thrown herself onto him, “Hmph, in the future when you sleep with Chu Xianning, I’ll have a share of the credit too, so shouldn’t I be rewarded now?”
“How do you want to be rewarded?”
“Kiss me all over.” Luo Yueguan rubbed her body against his and acted cute again.
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Jiang Huai, and he realized, “Wait, you knew Chu Xianning would follow us in from the beginning?”
“You’re just realizing that now?” Luo Yueguan tilted her head and winked at him, “Do you think I would really be shy? Hmph, letting her watch her beloved disciple being taken advantage of by me is something I take great pleasure in. I couldn’t ask for more.”
“…” Jiang Huai discontentedly slapped Luo Yueguan’s buttocks, “Why does it feel like only I got hurt?”
“Hmph, it’s because you care too much about your reputation. But if you didn’t, Chu Xianning would be unhappy. How easy is it to treat everyone equally? That’s why women are all troublemakers. This is your retribution for attracting so many women, hmph.”
“Makes sense.”
Jiang Huai lay down in Luo Yueguan’s arms. Luo Yueguan gently hugged him, patting his back as if coaxing a child, letting his cheek rub against her chest.
***
Luo Yueguan left five days later.
Luo Qingyu, Xu Qing, and Mu Yao were temporarily fine, so they stayed in Wen Wanwan’s courtyard, planning to reside there for a while longer. Wen Wanwan’s courtyard was becoming increasingly lively. Chu Xianning’s courtyard, without Luo Yueguan’s clamor, returned to its usual cool and serene state.
During the day, Jiang Huai went to Wen Wanwan’s place to play with them for a while, and also taught Xu Qing and Mu Yao sword techniques. In the afternoon, he returned to his courtyard to play chess with Chu Xianning, drink tea, or go fishing and chat. In the evenings, he occasionally stayed overnight at Wen Wanwan’s place and occasionally slept alone in his room.
Because Chu Xianning didn’t allow him into her room, Jiang Huai initially thought she was still holding a grudge about the incident with Luo Yueguan. But after some probing inquiries, Jiang Huai gradually realized that Chu Xianning wasn’t angry.
This left Jiang Huai somewhat bewildered.
