Chapter 278: Below Senior Sister, Junior Sister
Boom—
Ten thousand rays of sunset glow sprinkled on the training ground of the Hundred Lotus Sect, and a rumbling sound startled the birds in the trees.
Pei Lianxue, holding a blunt iron sword, looked at Liang Acting, who was embedded in the ground by her. She pursed her lips and sighed. This girl’s sword art had not improved at all compared to six months ago.
“Ating, let’s stop here for today. We’ll continue tomorrow.”
“… …”
“Sigh…”
Seeing that Liang Acting had no strength left to reply, Pei Lianxue inexplicably felt nostalgic. When she first started cultivating, Senior Brother often embedded her into the floor of the training ground.
Thinking about it, Senior Brother hadn’t done that for many years.
Ever since she became powerful, it was Senior Brother who was embedded into the floor.
“Ating, when you can embed Aunt into the floor, you’ll have truly graduated.”
“… …”
Pei Lianxue withdrew her blunt iron sword, walked forward, and dug Liang Acting out of the floor. She then carried her on her shoulder and flew towards the Hundred Lotus Sect’s medical clinic on her sword.
Looking down from the sky, a hundred immortal pavilions stood on the edges of each peak of the Hundred Lotus Sect. The scene in her eyes was completely different from the Hundred Lotus Sect in her mind.
When she first arrived at the Hundred Lotus Sect, she had secretly exclaimed in her heart: So big! So prosperous!
However, after visiting the Xuan Xing Sect, the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, and even the Chi Long Mansion, she realized that she had been short-sighted. The small Hundred Lotus Sect barely occupied one-tenth of the area of those places.
But now, the Hundred Lotus Sect seemed to be gradually moving towards becoming a great sect.
Earlier, in the training ground, many disciples of the Hundred Lotus Sect had affectionately called her “Senior Sister Pei.” In a while, they might even call her “Madam Ye.”
“Hehe…”
Dreaming like a lovesick girl, Pei Lianxue quickly landed in front of the Hundred Lotus Sect’s medical clinic. Carrying Liang Acting, she stepped over the threshold and entered the medical pavilion, which had been expanded to seven stories.
The medical pavilion was quite deserted at this time, with no one around.
Pei Lianxue poked her head out and looked left and right, calling out:
“Is Madam Chen here~~”
The next moment, a white-haired old woman walked down from the second floor, leaning on a strangely shaped cane. Seeing that it was Pei Lianxue, a flicker of spirit appeared on her aged face.
She glanced at Liang Acting and said with a wry smile:
“Girl Pei, I thought you were bringing the Young Master here again when I heard you call me. I’ve been so lonely these past one or two years you were away.”
“Hehe…”
Madam Chen took Liang Acting from Pei Lianxue’s hand and brought her to a nearby bed to begin examining her. Pei Lianxue also stood by and watched silently, afraid of disturbing Madam Chen’s diagnosis.
While bandaging Liang Acting’s wounds, Madam Chen secretly glanced at Pei Lianxue’s face. After a moment of silence, she casually said:
“Girl Pei, is the Young Master treating you well now?”
“Hmm?” Pei Lianxue tilted her head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, “Yes, Senior Brother treats me very well.”
“Hehehehe…” Madam Chen smiled helplessly, “The Young Master used to beat you every day. Now that he has grown up, he must finally realize that his Junior Sister is a graceful and beautiful lady.”
“Ah… well, it doesn’t matter, I don’t mind, and Senior Brother is just being good to me.”
“Oh? So, you like the Young Master?”
Pei Lianxue nodded, “Of course I do.”
“Then you must keep a close eye on the Young Master,” Madam Chen said jokingly, reaching out to pinch Pei Lianxue’s cheek. “The Young Master is handsome, and now his temperament has become gentle. He also goes out every day. If you don’t keep a close eye on him, he might be lured away by other girls.”
“… …”
“The Young Master looks at you every day. Because of this, he easily overlooks your strengths and thinks of them as commonplace. At such a time, if he meets a girl who is a little more beautiful than you, or more proactive, you will be at a disadvantage.”
Pei Lianxue lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, then asked:
“Am I at a disadvantage?”
Madam Chen raised an eyebrow and retorted:
“Your personality has always been passive, and you speak little, so of course, you are at a disadvantage. Do you know how Sect Master Ye and Madam Kong got together back then? Madam Kong chased after Sect Master Ye and finally subdued him.”
“So, I have to chase Senior Brother and beat him?”
“I’m not saying you should beat him. I don’t recommend you learn from Madam Kong. The Young Master is not like his father,” Madam Chen sighed slightly. “What I mean is, you need to be more proactive. Do you know about playing hard to get? Men like girls they can’t get but are also within reach. No man can resist that.”
“Hmm… you mean tsundere?” Pei Lianxue tilted her head, an uncomprehending question. “But Senior Brother said that tsundere is not a good personality.”
“Tsundere?” Madam Chen blinked and said, “Well… you could say that. You should have a proud demeanor that makes others indifferent, and a delicate charm like a little bird, but you need to strike a balance. You can’t be too proud, nor can you be consistently delicate. If you are always delicate, the Young Master will quickly get tired of you. You should be more delicate and less proud.”
Pei Lianxue listened, frowned seriously, and nodded. Then, she took out a small notebook and pen from her storage bag and started writing:
“Is there anything else I should pay attention to?”
… …
————
Night fell, and the Hundred Lotus Sect was lit by the starlight of spirit stone lanterns.
A small courtyard on a side peak was extremely quiet, with the light of a candle lamp in the room illuminating the paper window.
Ye Anping sat at his rosewood desk, in front of which was a document titled “Central Domain Imperial Sect Conquest Plan.” Below it were names connected by straight lines.
And the name written in the largest characters, located in the center, was “Si Xuanji.”
She was currently the person who gave Ye Anping the most headaches in the plan.
She was already a capricious person whose behavior was difficult to predict, and on top of that, she was a great cultivator at the peak of the Four Domains.
It was like playing chess.
If every move he made was predicted by the opponent, and he could predict every move the opponent made, the result would be that this game of chess would never have a single piece.
Both knew that the other could predict their moves, so neither would make a move.
Ye Anping hated this feeling of being unable to see the whole picture, but at the moment, he really had no special solution for Si Xuanji.
“Sigh—”
After much thought, Ye Anping gave up. When it came to matters involving Si Xuanji, he could only react on the fly. He didn’t even know what identity Si Xuanji would use to participate in the Imperial Sect’s affairs.
In any case, she would definitely not appear as the Sect Master of the Xuan Xing Sect.
Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose and took out the jade pendant that Si Xuanji had given him before he went to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. He spread it on his palm and looked at it.
The jade pendant emitted a faint glow under the moonlight outside the window.
“This pendant has been quite helpful. When I return it to her after going back to the Xuan Xing Sect, I’ll probe her intentions then.”
After a moment of silence, he inexplicably thought of his relationship with his Junior Sister again.
On the way back, he took the opportunity to read some ancient books about the “Water Spiritual Root” and studied the Snow Jade Myriad Spirit Sword. He came to a conclusion:
It seemed that Junior Sister’s pure water extreme spiritual root had its nature reversed because of Yun Jian Shang Xian’s spirit sword.
Normally, if he slept with his Junior Sister, she would have been drained of pure water spiritual energy by him.
However, the current situation was that all the cultivation he did on his Junior Sister had become her own.
Although one or two times wouldn’t have much impact, if he lost control of himself one time, his Junior Sister could unconsciously drain him dry.
“Sigh… I really didn’t think about this beforehand. Yun Jian Shang Xian specifically protecting Junior Sister is for her own good, but does this mean he values Junior Sister more than me?”
Ye Anping tilted his stool, tilted his head back, and thought for a while. Then, he decided not to think about it anymore.
“Forget it… I haven’t had a chance to find Junior Sister on the way back. Now that I’m back at the Hundred Lotus Sect, it’s really unreasonable not to see her…”
As his mind wandered, Ye Anping felt a bit restless and wanted to find his Junior Sister quickly.
However, just as he reached the door of his room, two light knocks sounded from outside.
Dong dong—
“Senior Brother.”
“… …”
Ye Anping took a deep breath, suppressing his inner excitement for the moment. He tidied his robes and opened the door.
Pei Lianxue outside the door seemed to have just bathed. There were still water droplets on her hair, and she was wearing the white tunic she usually wore to sleep.
Her moist cherry lips made Ye Anping’s heart tingle, and he even wanted to transform into a bull and charge at her.
However, he quickly suppressed the urge to transform with the help of the Phoenix Feather Butterfly, whose effects were no longer as potent.
No matter what, he had to be polite to his Junior Sister, and be a gentleman. He couldn’t let his Junior Sister think that his “head was below his neck.”
“Junior Sister, it’s so late, what’s the matter?”
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips, her gaze swept over Ye Anping’s face, and she said:
“Come in?”
“Ah… yes.”
Ye Anping made way. After Pei Lianxue entered the room, he quietly closed the door, took a deep breath, and asked:
“Tell me, what is it?”
“On the way, I haven’t helped Senior Brother vent his yang energy, so I came over.”
“… …”
Ye Anping was slightly surprised by Pei Lianxue’s proactive approach. He shook his head and sighed, then walked over and pinched her cheek, asking:
“Junior Sister, can’t you wait any longer?”
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips, thinking: I really can’t wait any longer. After all, the last time was several months ago at the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.
But Madam Chen had said that she should play hard to get, be a little proud, and a little delicate.
“No, I’m just worried about Senior Brother’s yang energy having problems.”
Pei Lianxue furrowed her brows, then took Ye Anping’s hand and hugged him tightly.
Ye Anping was stunned for a long time, but he felt that his Junior Sister had suddenly become very charming. This feeling of playing hard to get…
He took a deep breath, picked up his Junior Sister, and rushed to the bedside.
However, just as he was about to push her down, Pei Lianxue broke free.
“No!”
“…Ah?” Ye Anping thought his Junior Sister had suddenly changed her mind again and whimpered guiltily, “Don’t you want to anymore?”
Pei Lianxue paused, then turned around, her small hands resting on Ye Anping’s chest, and pushed him with all her might:
“Senior Brother, you lie down. I’ll be on top.”
… …
