219: Chapter 219 Qianmo's Jealousy

This was the first sentence Xing Yaoyan had said to her when they first met.

The Black-haired girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately walked quickly toward the White-haired girl as if she had seen a savior.

Seeing her leave, the surrounding people quickly followed...

"Eh? What are you all trying to do?"

Xing Yaoyan's light words immediately caused everyone to freeze in place.

"Are you trying to assassinate this Saintess?"

At this, everyone unconsciously took a step back, fine beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads. Now, they didn't even have the slightest thought of trying to win her over anymore.

Muttering things like "We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare" and "Sorry for the intrusion," the crowd dispersed, shifting their focus to another battlefield.

At this moment, Qian Mo, who was also surrounded, felt his right eye twitch involuntarily, and a bad premonition rose in his heart...

As for Mu Changqiu, he was currently struggling to push through the crowd to get to his Junior Sister's side.

"White-Robed Mysterious Person... wait..."

To his surprise, the two girls who had been in that position just a moment ago had suddenly vanished. This was a small lawn with no other cover; logically, it was impossible for them to disappear from his sight so quickly with their speed...

"Junior, did you just see two girls here?"

He saw a girl in a white training uniform standing at that spot; the cowlick on her head and the fox on her shoulder were very conspicuous.

He had heard Yun Long mention her name before, but he hadn't been paying attention at the time since he was slacking off.

"Um..."

Xiao Meng looked at the young man in front of her and was about to answer.

But a voice from her little white fox came through, and she quickly changed her tune.

"...I don't know..."

She shook her head, staring at him with her large, watery eyes.

This was a trick Xiao Meng had learned over time. Every time she lied, as long as she looked into the other person's eyes, they would often inexplicably feel guilty and look away, not daring to meet her gaze...

In her innocence, she didn't realize at all that this behavior worked purely because her character model's beauty stats were too high...

But now, this trick that had never failed her before was ineffective.

"You're lying to me..."

Mu Changqiu stared into her eyes without flinching, a look of "seriousness" flickering in his gaze that was almost unprecedented for him.

"Ugh..."

Xiao Meng was a little intimidated by his Aura.

"Hey, young man, bullying a weak woman doesn't make you a good man."

The little white fox on the girl's shoulder suddenly spoke, narrowing its eyes as it looked at the boy.

At the same time, a Voice Transmission rang out in Mu Changqiu's heart:

"You care about her a lot, don't you..."

This fox...

Mu Changqiu was somewhat surprised. Weren't they only third-rank? Moreover, he knew their Superpower was related to hexagrams; how could they use a sixth-rank Voice Transmission...

"Of course, she is my Junior Sister."

Mu Changqiu was, after all, Yun Long's disciple; this kind of situation wasn't enough to make him lose his composure.

"No... I don't mean that..."

"Then..."

The boy fell silent for a moment.

"You definitely know where the two of them are. Tell me, or don't blame me for being impolite..."

This time, Mu Changqiu was truly angry.

"If you truly care about someone, you should respect their choices. Looking at her, she's probably been taken care of a bit too well by your Master..."

Hu Wang didn't answer his question directly, but instead spoke with hidden meaning.

This time, the boy's heart was truly in turmoil.

A somewhat violent Aura involuntarily radiated from his body; he didn't want to hear another word from this fox.

Hu Wang also knew when to stop, realizing he had struck a nerve. He stopped talking and simply gestured for Xiao Meng to leave.

And this time, Mu Changqiu did not stop them. He just lowered his head, his expression terrifyingly dark.

...

"Sister Xing Yan."

"Eh? It seems you know my name. I was just thinking about how to introduce myself properly..."

"Before Master brought me here, he had me learn about the general situation of the school. I recognized you at a glance..."

"Oh, right! Wan Yao, why have you become White-Robed Mysterious Person now? Though it's not bad, your old name was quite nice too?"

In the small woods, Xing Yaoyan sat on a flat rock, enthusiastically chatting with the somewhat shy girl in front of her.

After picking up the girl just now, she had used Senior Hu Wang's hexagram-based 'Earth Hiding' to temporarily block everyone's vision. She then used 'Swap' to teleport both of them to the woods where she and Qian Mo had previously sparred.

Hardly anyone came here, making it the perfect place for some girl talk...

"I... I didn't want to change it either... Master said it would be better to change it to White-Robed Mysterious Person... so I did..."

As she spoke, White-Robed Mysterious Person pulled out a jade plaque strung on a red cord from her collar.

She held the jade plaque in her palm, looking at the three characters 'Qian Wanyao' on it with a somewhat distracted gaze.

"It's okay, then I'll call you White-Robed Mysterious Person in public and Qian Wanyao in private."

Noticing the girl's emotional shift, Xing Yaoyan said with a smile.

"By the way, how is it that you can speak now?"

"Because... I've become stronger."

Qian Wanyao tilted her head up boastfully, revealing her swan-like neck.

She pointed to her throat.

"Before the third rank... I couldn't control my power well. Every word I said would affect reality to some degree..."

Hearing this, Xing Yaoyan almost jumped up in excitement.

Isn't this 'Kotodama'...

She remembered a novel she liked in her past life had a similar setting; she hadn't expected to actually encounter it this time.

"Then is there a little monster inside your body..."

Xing Yaoyan said playfully, her thoughts slowly drifting to a far-off place...

Right... she wondered if that detestable author had resumed updates yet...

"What little monster?"

"Nothing..."

Xing Yaoyan quickly laughed it off, thinking to herself that she had almost blurted out something strange.

Of course, Qian Wanyao didn't mind. For her, reuniting with this wolf demon sister was one of the things she was happiest about right now.

And just then...

"Young Miss Xing Yan... you certainly are in a leisurely mood..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Xing Yaoyan turned her head sharply and saw Qian Mo walking toward her with a smile.

But from his sarcastic tone and the way he kept glancing at her hand holding Qian Wanyao's, she couldn't help but detect a strong sense of jealousy.

In response, Xing Yaoyan's method was to simply ignore it.

Anyway, even if this guy were to marry her, he would be the one joining her family; their relative status was clear at a glance. Moreover, this was normal behavior between girls; if he had an issue, it was purely his problem.

Knowing she had nothing to fear, Qian Mo sensibly didn't dwell too much on this point.

He was just being considerate of his girlfriend, definitely not because of low status or anything...

"Qian Mo, you're so slow. Didn't I send you a message?"

Xing Yaoyan immediately counter-attacked.

Qian Mo sighed and replied in a complaining tone:

"I didn't want to be... who knows why so many people suddenly swarmed me, trying their best to win me over. It took a lot of effort to shake them off..."
