Chapter 0-68: Sisterly Love
In a moment, Yi Chengying’s small face flushed red, and she was at a loss.
Ye Qishuang was first taken aback, then as if she thought of something, the corners of her beautiful mouth curved into a playful smile as she said, “Interesting. I presume you intend to turn the enemy’s plan to one’s own advantage and use this empty check to provoke me, right? If I were truly foolish, I might have destroyed this Silhouette Lamp on the spot. Unfortunately, Qishuang is not that easily fooled!”
“No, Qishuang, you’ve only thought of me on the second level, while I’m actually on the fifth.” Qin Gou rubbed his nose and spoke eloquently.
“Then you should take action and let Qishuang see how you intend to atone for your sins to Little Chair?” However, Xiao Ye remained as confident as if she had everything under control.
“Fine.”
Qin Gou smiled calmly and immediately looked at Little Chair seriously, saying, “Yi Chengying, no matter what, I, Qin Gou, will marry you in this life!” Qin Gou had wanted to say this to Little Chair for a long time. If the elder Qin had ever let ‘Aunt Yi’ down in any way, A’yuan would have protested with him.
“Mmm…” At that moment, Little Chair’s beautiful eyes were shy, and her small face was so flushed that she couldn’t utter a complete sentence. She could only lower her small head and softly agree. This instantaneous agreement, without the slightest hesitation, was worth a thousand words.
“What do you mean ‘Mmm!?'”
Ye Qishuang’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. “Little Chair, have you truly understood what Master said? A wedding ceremony, marriage, and having little chairs – this isn’t an order for you to carry out a mission. You certainly have the right to refuse!”
“But Palace Lord, Little Chair genuinely is willing, willing from the bottom of her heart.” Yi Chengying said with her eyes like flowing water, then quickly waved her small hands. “No, but, Little Chair is of course not referring to now. Everything still depends on Lord Qin and the Palace Lord.”
“You…”
Ye Qishuang looked at Yi Chengying in disbelief and then her gaze fell on the Silhouette Lamp in her hand. She took a deep breath and said, “Did I accidentally lead Little Chair down a path of no return?”
“Qishuang, you’ve really misunderstood. The reason I made that promise just now certainly wasn’t because of this mere Silhouette Lamp!” Qin Gou smiled helplessly and said truthfully, “I have truly loved Little Chair for a long time.”
“Mmm, the groundwork has begun.”
“What?”
“It seems you’ve truly made up your mind. Then, you’re worried that Little Chair will feel wronged whenever she recalls today and remembers that you were forced to accept her because of this Silhouette Lamp. Of course, you need to lay the groundwork quickly and start expressing your affection for Little Chair, regardless of whether it’s sincere!”
Ye Qishuang said this softly, leaning closer to Qin Gou, and couldn’t help but sigh gently. “For so many years, Master has always been so considerate and meticulously cunning, like a demon. You haven’t changed at all!”
“Qishuang, you’re truly overthinking!” Qin Gou said with a wry smile.
“Master!”
Ye Qishuang suddenly bit her silver teeth in annoyance. “You just said, can’t you stop treating Qishuang like such an easily fooled foolish girl? If I were really overthinking, and you and Little Chair had loved each other from the start, wouldn’t I have noticed it at all!
Are those people in the Cultivation World who call Qishuang ‘the ancestor of the absorbing Yang to replenish Yin method, the most adept at manipulating male-female relationships, the seductive demon concubine’ all idiots? Uh, I should take that back. They are indeed all imbeciles!”
“I’ve learned a lot about how powerful Qishuang is when facing outsiders in recent years, but perhaps Qishuang hasn’t realized that when you’re in front of your Master, or when it’s about matters related to your Master, you always revert to being that immature, simple Xiao Shuang’er.” Qin Gou shook his head, a hint of indulgence flashing in his eyes.
“You… Forget it, there’s no use in saying more.” Ye Qishuang suddenly took the Silhouette Lamp from Little Chair’s hand. “As Qishuang said before, I guessed long ago that you might want to induce me to do this. But at this moment, the situation has indeed become chaotic. Qishuang cannot treat Master’s and Little Chair’s marriage as a trifling matter!”
“Qishuang? You’re not going to…”
“Bang!”
The Silhouette Lamp fell to the ground. These disposable artifacts were inherently fragile. At this moment, one side with spirit patterns etched on it was shattered. If a top-tier Artifact Refiner didn’t intervene, it would be truly difficult to restore the images within.
“Now, can you take back your order?” Qishuang Wench said, dejected, as if she had been tricked again.
“Qishuang, oh Qishuang, I truly don’t know how to explain it clearly to you,” Qin Gou said, feeling ashamed. “Moreover, it has nothing to do with this Silhouette Lamp. As the saying goes, a gentleman’s word is as good as a chariot, and the promise I made to Little Chair will naturally not be nullified.”
“Then, I’ll tell you the truth.”
At this moment, Old Qin felt there was a big misunderstanding between him and Xiao Shuang’er. Ye Qishuang felt the same way.
“Last night, nothing actually happened between you and Little Chair. It was my whim to tease you, so I told Little Chair to put on a play and then recorded it with the Silhouette Lamp.” Ye Qishuang said with a helpless smile. “So, although Qishuang knows you are noble and always keep your word, you truly don’t need to take responsibility next.”
“And then?”
“Then? The truth is revealed.” Ye Qishuang said as naturally as she should.
“But…”
“Lord Qin, please stop talking!” Yi Chengying suddenly spoke.
“Little Chair?”
“Palace Lord, please stop talking too.”
At that moment, Little Chair directly interrupted Qin and Ye. This was quite a rare scene.
“There was no misunderstanding from beginning to end! Little Chair will definitely marry Lord Qin!” Little Chair said with firm and resolute beautiful eyes.
Ye Qishuang’s eyes widened, and she was about to say something.
But Little Chair preempted her. “Besides, Lord Qin just promised me that he would definitely marry Little Chair in this life. No matter who it is, even you, the Palace Lord, you absolutely cannot let Lord Qin take back his words!”
“Little Chair, you…”
“But!”
Yi Chengying suddenly walked closer, embraced Ye Qishuang, and said with gentle eyes, “If Lord Qin accepts Little Chair, then he must also accept the Palace Lord. Little Chair has always thought this way and has never changed!”
A ghost talent.
In a moment, these two words sprang into Ye Qishuang’s heart, and tears almost welled up from being moved. “Little Chair, so you agreed to marry Master from the very beginning for this! Isn’t that right!?”
In the beginning, Qin Gou directly promised to marry her. Anyone with eyes could see that there was definitely something fishy! But Yi Chengying agreed without hesitation, as if she were truly foolish and thought Qin Gou had fallen in love with her. But was she really foolish?
Why did she deliberately act so ‘foolish’?
The Lone Shadow Saintess, a generation’s elite, was tempered through blood and fire. She was an absolutely strong, intelligent, and Orchid heart girl, yet she willingly “took the bait”! And at this very moment, when Qin Gou guaranteed he would never go back on his word, it was the true moment of revelation. Everything she had done was for the happiness of her Palace Lord, even willingly letting herself be wronged!
So, Little Chair was the one who had orchestrated everything and planned every step from beginning to end!
All of the above were the sudden, wild speculations of the great Palace Lord Ye.
“Ah?” Yi Chengying looked dumbfounded and was about to explain again.
Ye Qishuang also quickly reached out and hugged Little Chair, her expression deeply moved. “Little Chair, you are truly my best sister. Just now, I almost mistook you for secretly stealing Master away from me. Thinking back now, I was so wrong!”
“Then, then what about the matter between Little Chair and Lord Qin…”
“Don’t say anything else! You foolish Chair have already wronged yourself to this extent for me. If I were to stop you now, would I even be human anymore?!”
