220: Chapter 220 Is this how you treat your senior brother?

Qian Wanyao looked at the two people in front of her with a curious expression.

Suddenly, a term her Senior Brother had taught her before inexplicably popped into her mind.

"Sister Xing Yan... are you and this big brother lovers?"

As soon as those words came out, the two who were talking immediately shut their mouths, more or less blushing.

Well, even if they were prepared, being asked such a thing in such an innocent way was still quite embarrassing.

Xing Yaoyan adjusted herself, a bright smile still on her face as she suddenly leaned close to the boy who was still in an awkward state and threw an arm around his shoulder.

"That's right, isn't it obvious? Let me introduce him to you; this guy is called Qian Mo. This Young Miss's... boyfriend."

Xing Yaoyan didn't consider herself a stubborn or conflicted person; as long as it was something she had chosen seriously, she would never regret it or run away from it.

But because Qian Mo was a head taller than her, the scene looked a bit comical from Qian Wanyao's perspective.

"Oh~~ Hello, Big Brother Qian Mo..."

Qian Wanyao's eyes sparkled with an intense light of curiosity:

"But... I heard from Senior Brother that generally, in this kind of relationship, the person being held like that should be you, Sister..."

Qian Mo had been smiling at this new friend Young Miss Xing Yan had just made, but upon hearing those words, his body suddenly shuddered.

That's right! I've been treated like this by Xiao Yan for so long that I've almost gotten used to it... No... I need to show some masculine prowess; I can't let her keep getting the upper hand!

However, just as he was about to pull his arm out of the White-haired girl's embrace, he discovered something very embarrassing—he couldn't budge it...

Xing Yaoyan's arm didn't look muscular; it was slender and delicate. But at this moment, he felt that this lotus-root-like arm, which looked like it would break with a pull, was like a steel bar, firmly controlling him and preventing any extra movement.

He stole a glance at the still-smiling White-haired girl, but as luck would have it, Xing Yaoyan also slightly turned her head at the same time, their eyes meeting for a brief moment.

Within that seemingly gentle and considerate gaze was a hint of danger that only he could perceive.

Qian Mo swallowed hard and immediately chose to act like a mannequin at her mercy, playing dead.

Seeing him being so sensible, Xing Yaoyan breathed a small sigh of relief.

If Qian Mo had really insisted on making a scene, she might not have been able to restrain him. Fortunately...

Hmph... I'll just give you more rewards later...

Then, Xing Yaoyan tilted her head slightly, adopting the air of an expert, and said cryptically to the girl:

"Nothing is absolute... What others say inevitably has limitations. Only by experiencing and thinking for yourself can you forge your own path, rather than becoming the insincere version of yourself that others expect."

Seeing Qian Wanyao nod thoughtfully, Xing Yaoyan felt that her subtle hinting this time was quite successful.

Although Qian Wanyao appeared to have left the "Peach Blossom Spring," it was only her body that had emerged; her heart was still there.

Xing Yaoyan could only drop hints; she couldn't be too blunt, as this kind of thing had to be realized by the girl herself to be effective.

"So Sister Xing Yan likes to be on top..."

"STOP!!!"

Xing Yaoyan could no longer maintain her expert persona; her entire face instantly turned beet red with shame.

Her composure had been completely shattered by a single sentence from Qian Wanyao.

Although she actually had thought about it... Bah... Don't think about it!

"Who taught you all this nonsense... Also, don't you ever say that to anyone else in the future, or they'll think you're a pervert!"

"Oh..."

Surprised by Xing Yaoyan's strong reaction, Qian Wanyao also immediately nodded quickly.

"Whew..."

Xing Yaoyan unconsciously released her hold on Qian Mo, pressing a hand to her forehead, still trying to process the heavy psychological blow dealt by the girl's words.

After a long while...

"I almost forgot the main business..."

Xing Yaoyan looked up at Qian Wanyao. This time, the smile was gone from her face, replaced by absolute seriousness and concern.

"White-Robed Mysterious Person... do you know where you come from?"

"My background... Actually... I don't know much about it either..."

The moment they heard this, Xing Yaoyan and Qian Mo immediately exchanged glances, both seeing the expected surprise in each other's eyes.

"I haven't had any memory of my parents since I was little... My Master told me they sacrificed themselves during a very important mission... and told me to Cultivate hard to inherit their legacy and eradicate..."

At this point, Xing Yaoyan felt as if the girl had suddenly glanced at her, whether intentionally or not.

"...all Star Beasts..."

"Then Xing Yao... did he tell you your parents' names?"

Xing Yaoyan walked over, took her hand, and asked with a concerned expression.

"He did... My father's name is Qian..."

"White-Robed Mysterious Person!"

An abrupt voice interrupted the girl's words, simultaneously drawing everyone's attention.

Xing Yaoyan whipped her head around to see Mu Changqiu lying on the branch of a large tree at some unknown point, with a piece of foxtail grass he'd picked up from somewhere dangling from his mouth.

He was waving at the three people below—no, he was just waving at the girl, the White-Robed Mysterious Person, who was furthest from him.

"You've played enough. We should go back and Cultivate according to Master's requirements!"

The casual words reached everyone's ears, sounding as ordinary as an older brother picking up his younger sister to go home, completely indifferent to whether she might refuse.

"Tsk..."

Xing Yaoyan was somewhat irritated.

They were just about to reach the most critical moment; how could she be interrupted by this guy!

Qian Wanyao lowered her head, appearing very hesitant.

"It's time to leave with Senior Brother! Today's training tasks haven't been met yet!"

These words were like a final ultimatum. The girl's body moved, and she began to walk slowly toward him.

"Qian... White-Robed Mysterious Person..."

Feeling the girl's figure pass by her side, Xing Yaoyan immediately snapped out of it and reached out to grab her wrist.

"Wait!"

Mu Changqiu's face darkened at the sight, but he quickly returned to his previous indifferent expression.

"Miss Xing Yan... taking Xing Yao away privately has actually already violated the relevant regulations between your Kingdom of Myriad Demons and the Human Alliance... Blocking her from leaving now is truly somewhat inappropriate..."

Although his tone hadn't changed from before, Xing Yaoyan quickly detected the heavy sense of threat within it.

"Hmph... You talk so grandiosely, as if I kidnapped her... You should know best that with Xing Yao's strength, there's no way I could have dragged her here by force. It was clearly her own choice. Are you going to deprive her of even the right to spend a little more time with her friends? Is this how you act as a Senior Brother?!"
