Huge blunder! Unlocking twin sisters

His mind buzzed.

"Sigh... I actually ran a red light."

Lin Yuan secretly cursed himself in his heart!

An expression of apology and surprise immediately appeared on his face: "Sorry, I didn't know you...!"

However, the woman beside him did not respond to his words; instead, she quickly pulled her clothes around herself, wrapping herself up tightly, her movements trembling with humiliation.

She turned around, her eyes burning with towering rage, that bone-chilling gaze almost freezing Lin Yuan into an ice sculpture.

Only then did Lin Yuan fully realize that something was wrong.

The Mu Wanqing in front of him was like a completely different person from the previous Mu Wanqing.

Firstly, it was her temperament.

Cold, sharp, with an aura that warned people to keep their distance. The Mu Wanqing he knew, though having a businesswoman's shrewdness, was gentle and charming at heart, definitely not possessing such biting coldness.

Secondly, it was her eyes.

The woman's eyes in front of him were excessively sharp, like a drawn sword, full of scrutiny, anger, and strong rejection.

Yet, this face, this figure, was indeed identical to Mu Wanqing's.

"Why do you seem so strange today?"

Lin Yuan instinctively spoke, then immediately discovered an even more crucial problem.

"And... why do you have no Qi fluctuations at all?"

He frowned, his heart filled with doubts.

Just then, light footsteps came from outside the door.

"Sister... the tea you wanted, I've brewed it for you."

A familiar and gentle voice rang out.

The door was pushed open, and the real "Mu Wanqing" walked in, holding a tray with an exquisite jade cup on it, emitting wisps of hot steam.

"Lin Yuan, why didn't you say you were coming earlier?"

She walked gracefully, a familiar, chiding smile on her face. But the next moment, she noticed the extremely solidified and strange atmosphere in the room, especially the anger and mist in her sister's eyes on the bed.

"You two... this is..."

Lin Yuan felt his scalp tingle, and was about to explain.

But the woman on the bed spoke first, in a voice so cold it seemed each word was squeezed through clenched teeth:

"Wanrou, tell him to get out."

Lin Yuan's heart shook violently.

"What the f*ck... Wanrou?"

The woman holding the tea, who was Mu Wanrou, now understood about seventy to eighty percent. She put down the tray and explained to Lin Yuan:

"Lin Yuan, you've probably mistaken me for someone else. My sister and I are twin sisters. To avoid unnecessary trouble, my sister has always used an alias and a transformed appearance at the Pill Treasure Pavilion."

"And my sister's real name is Wanqing. Because I handle affairs for my father, I've been using my sister's name to do things."

Lin Yuan's mind was completely in a mess.

It was a long while before he finally understood: "So, the previous Qing Tan was Mu Wanqing, and the previous Mu Wanqing was Mu Wanrou?"

Mu Wanrou nodded: "Yes, that's right!"

"What the f*ck... this misunderstanding... it's too big..."

He ranted wildly in his heart, but could only force out a smile uglier than crying.

"Ahem... that... why doesn't she have any Qi?"

Lin Yuan quickly changed the subject; this was also his biggest confusion. If this real Mu Wanqing had Qi on her just now, he would have been discovered as soon as he got close, and such a big mistake would never have happened.

Mu Wanrou walked to the bedside and softly explained:

"Sister's Cultivation Technique is special, called the 'Mortal World Refinement Heart Art'. Whenever she reaches a Realm Bottleneck, she must Seal all her Qi, transform into a Mortal body, and enter the Mortal World to experience life's myriad forms until her state of mind reaches Perfection. Only then will her Qi fully return, and her cultivation will Breakthrough accordingly."

Lin Yuan suddenly realized. So that was it, no wonder she had no power to resist.

"Oh, right," Mu Wanrou turned to look at Lin Yuan, asking knowingly, "Did you come to see me for something?"

"I... I just came to see you."

Lin Yuan stammered; his main purpose for this trip had already been accomplished through the misunderstanding.

He guiltily glanced at Mu Wanqing on the bed.

The other party immediately returned a fierce glare, as if to say, "You're dead."

"Let's talk outside!" Mu Wanqing's voice was cold, issuing an eviction notice.

Mu Wanrou understood, took Lin Yuan's wrist, and walked outside.

"Come on, let's go to the study."

...Inside the study, sandalwood incense wafted.

After half an hour of face-to-face "arduous Cultivation."

"Did something happen between you and my sister?"

Lin Yuan awkwardly rubbed his nose, unsure how to begin. After all, this matter was a colossal misunderstanding.

Mu Wanrou, however, covered her mouth and chuckled softly, a cunning glint in her beautiful eyes.

"I can tell that the way my sister looks at you, she wishes she could devour you alive." She paused, then changed the subject, leaning slightly forward, her breath like orchids, "However, you took her most precious thing, so now her heart is probably full of your shadow."

"And, seeing that I got there first, that's why she's being cold to you..."

"However, I actually don't mind." Mu Wanrou's eyes grew hotter, with a businesswoman's shrewdness and a woman's boldness, "If our sisters can both firmly tie you, a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, to our side, it would be a Heaven-Defying aid for us sisters."

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat; this Mu Wanrou... was too direct.

The cunning in Mu Wanrou's eyes grew even deeper: "Sister's current Cultivation in the Mortal World requires her state of mind to reach Perfection before she can Breakthrough. The Thousand Illusions Concealment Tea I just gave her can completely mask her aura and change her appearance. She plans to go to Hundred Herbs Peak as an Outer Sect Disciple to experience the Cultivation path from the beginning. If you're truly interested, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... The raw rice has already been cooked, so I don't need to say more about the rest, right!

Since the misunderstanding had already occurred, apologizing was useless, and escaping was an act of cowardice.

In Lin Yuan's mind, a thought flashed like lightning, wild and daring.

Then let's just make the best of a bad situation!

Turn this colossal misunderstanding into a fated encounter!

Moreover, such a Heaven-Defying good thing that could bring a two-hundred-point attribute boost in one go, how could he easily let it go?

"Um... is your sister's cultivation level convenient to disclose?" Lin Yuan's voice returned to its usual calmness.

"That's not a secret." Mu Wanrou smiled, her eyes curving, full of charm, "Sister is already in the Early Core Formation Stage."

Early Core Formation Stage.

Lin Yuan now had a plan.

"Thank you."

Mu Wanrou's smile deepened, and she leaned a few more inches closer, her warm breath caressing Lin Yuan's ear.

"Between you and me, is there a need for thanks? In the future... just come see me more often, that would be enough..."

"Certainly, certainly..."

It wasn't until night had fully fallen, and after they had "deeply" communicated for a long time, subtly extracting various pieces of information about "Qing Tan," who was the real Mu Wanqing, that Lin Yuan finally left the Peak Masters Residence with satisfaction.

Inside the Immortal Cave, a faint fire flickered, illuminating the mottled patterns on the stone walls.

Han Shuang had already prepared a sumptuous dinner; the fragrant spiritual rice filled the air, and several plates of stir-fried dishes made with spiritual plants were enticingly colorful.
