329: I will help your sister He Han

“Your Majesty is tired, so I will return first. There’s no need to see me off.”

Seeing that there was nothing fun to do, Her Majesty waved her hand and vanished in a flash of golden light.

“Your Majesty, take care!” Su Xiaobai waved with a smile, a sigh of relief escaping his heart.

He finally sent this old empress away. If she hadn't suddenly pulled this stunt today, how could he have been so anxious for so long?!

“Then, Revered Master, let’s return to Tianji Pavilion.”

“Mm, alright.”

Dongfang Qian Yue linked arms with Bing Ling and stood up, preparing to leave.

Su Xiaobai quickly stopped them, “Senior Sister, haven’t you accepted Ling’er? Why don’t you stay tonight!”

“My acceptance of her has nothing to do with me returning to Tianji Pavilion. I never said I was coming back.”

“But…”

“Hehe, Su Scumbag, did you hear that? Yue Yue still prefers my Tianji Pavilion, nyah nyah!” Ji Qianqian made a face at Su Xiaobai.

Then, she pushed Dongfang Qian Yue and Bing Ling, “Yue Yue, let’s go quickly, don’t give him a chance.”

Soon, Dongfang Qian Yue and Bing Ling left.

Outside Su Manor.

On the way, Bing Ling couldn’t help but ask Dongfang Qian Yue, “Yue’er, haven’t you forgiven Xiaobai? Are you really not going back?”

Dongfang Qian Yue shook her head, “It’s not easy for Revered Master to come to the Capital, so of course, I must accompany Revered Master.

As for him? Hmph! I’ll let him stew for a few days.”

“But aren’t you afraid Xiaobai will change his mind like this?” Bing Ling asked worriedly.

A faint smile appeared on Dongfang Qian Yue’s lips, “That girl Shui Yanling also has some tricks. She’s not a good-for-nothing. She used Xiaobai’s guilt towards her to force me to accept her.

However, if she wants to maximize this guilt, she won’t ‘cheat’ during this period.”

Bing Ling: “???”

Where do you get the confidence that she won’t “cheat”?

And she didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but although Yue’er seemed angry at Xiaobai on the surface, she always felt that Yue’er seemed to enjoy the thrill of this palace intrigue.

“Alright, Revered Master, let’s not bother with that philanderer. Tell me, what have you experienced this past year?” She affectionately hugged Bing Ling.

Bing Ling smiled helplessly, “You, ah, you’re still the same as before.”

…

The scene returns to Su Manor.

“What! Ling’er, you’re leaving too?!” Su Xiaobai couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Mm.” Shui Yanling nodded apologetically, “Since older sister has left, how can I, as her younger sister, take advantage of the situation?”

“But don’t worry, I’ll be staying in the Capital for a while longer, so we’ll have plenty of time to see each other.”

With that, she pulled He Han, who was still gorging herself on food nearby, and waved goodbye to Su Xiaobai.

“Then we’ll be going now.”

“Goodbye, Master!”

Watching the two also leave side by side, Su Xiaobai felt an emptiness in his heart.

The conflict should have been resolved, but why did it feel like nothing was resolved?

He was alone again tonight!

Please care for the lonely!

On the road.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The streets of the Capital were rarely luxurious, and because there were many Masters within the city, even at night, few people dared to commit crimes.

Shui Yanling and He Han walked together on the street.

He Han ate the grilled skewers she had taken from Su Xiaobai while occasionally looking at Shui Yanling.

“Sister He Han, is there something you want to say to me?” Shui Yanling suddenly spoke.

He Han jumped in surprise, then stammered nervously, “I…I’m just amazed at Third Miss…”

“Amazed that I’m spineless and yielded to Dongfang Qian Yue?”

“Mm.” He Han nodded honestly, but then realized that wasn’t good and quickly waved her hands, “I…I didn’t mean that…”

“Sigh, Sister He Han, you don’t need to explain, I understand.” Shui Yanling sighed, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

“If I could, I wouldn’t want to yield, but I can’t not yield.”

“She has spent the longest time with Xiaobai, they’ve experienced life and death together, and they share a Revered Master, while I have nothing.” A sense of powerlessness showed in her eyes.

She looked up at the moon above her head, “I understand that Xiaobai’s feelings for her are stronger than for me. If I confront her head-on, it will be difficult for me to gain the upper hand.”

“Since that’s the case, then I might as well take a step back and acknowledge her status as the main wife.”

“Although it may seem like I’ve lost on the surface, Xiaobai is actually already feeling guilty towards me. In the long run, if Dongfang Qian Yue continues to be unreasonable, even Xiaobai will become disheartened with her.”

“At that time, it will be my turn to take her place!” A hint of Battle Intent appeared in her eyes.

He Han was dumbfounded. So there was so much deeper meaning in this?

“Then…then if Main Wife Oriental doesn’t accept you, will you really leave Master forever?” she couldn’t help but ask.

“Haha.” Shui Yanling chuckled a few times, stating with certainty, “Don’t worry, your Master won’t let her do that.”

“Don’t look at your Master as very lustful; in reality, he has a strong sense of responsibility. As long as you get him into bed, he will definitely be responsible for you.” She looked at He Han meaningfully.

He Han felt a chill in her heart from her gaze and instinctively took two steps back, “Thi…Third Miss, why are you looking at me like that?”

Shui Yanling leaned closer, put an arm around her shoulder, and whispered in a voice only they could hear, “Sister He Han, that Medicinal Pill you’ve been refining can also come in handy.”

“Wh-what Medicinal Pill! I don’t know what you’re talking about!” He Han quickly denied.

“Don’t hide it from me. Don’t I know you’ve been secretly refining aphrodisiacs? After all, all your medicinal ingredients were provided by me.

Although I can’t do Alchemy, I still recognize some of the common medicinal ingredients needed for aphrodisiacs.” Shui Yanling chuckled, covering her mouth.

“Wuwuwu!” He Han covered her face in shame, feeling like a hidden adult book under the bed that had been discovered by her parents.

“Sister He Han, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone else.” Shui Yanling smiled, then looked at her meaningfully, “On the contrary, I will help you.”

He Han looked at her in surprise, as if confirming whether the person in front of her had been taken by Possession.

“Don’t look at me like that. As you can see, I alone cannot contend with Dongfang Qian Yue.” Shui Yanling waved her hand helplessly.

“Besides Dongfang Qian Yue, Her Majesty is also a difficult character. Even Dongfang Qian Yue couldn’t gain any advantage from her. How terrifying!” A deep solemnity appeared in her eyes.

Recalling Her Majesty’s stunning beauty and astonishing methods, her scalp tingled.

“I’m too weak alone, but if I add Sister He Han, then it’s a different story.” She smiled as she looked at He Han.

Upon hearing this, He Han waved her hands repeatedly, “I can’t! Your levels are too high, I…I’m just a nobody, I can’t…”

She pulled on her hood and squatted on the ground, shrinking into a ball in fear.

Shui Yanling chuckled and walked over, “Don’t worry, Sister He Han, I’ll teach you step by step. First, this!”

She pounced on He Han.

“Ah! Third Miss, what are you doing?!”

“Hmm… I didn’t realize it, but Sister He Han, your figure is quite good. Xiaobai likes this kind.”

“Hehe, do you want me to tell you which ways he likes?”
