157: Shuiyue's doubts. My dear husband

Chapter 157: Junior Sister Shui Yue's Doubt. My Husband~

Just as Su Han was secretly contemplating.

Zeng Shuchang and Shangguan Ce had already briefly discussed and decided to part ways for now.

Upon returning to Incense Valley, Shangguan Ce would inform Valley Master Yun Yilan about this matter, and then discuss it in detail with the Elders.

Three days later...

Regardless of whether Incense Valley agreed to cooperate or not, they would give Zeng Shuchang a definite answer.

At this moment.

Su Han, Junior Sister Shui Yue, and Zeng Shuchang, along with their Disciples, had already separated from Shangguan Ce and his group.

They rode their swords towards Fenyan City.

The journey was quiet and without conversation.

Junior Sister Shui Yue seemed to be having reservations about cooperating with Incense Valley.

Meanwhile, Zeng Shuchang was contemplating Sect Head Dao Xuan's arrangements and the potential situations they might face next.

Soon.

The group arrived at Fenyan City, a small city closest to Incense Valley.

Although the city's name included the character for 'flame', it was still a Mortal city and could not compare to the Disciples of Incense Valley.

Therefore, it was situated among lush green mountains and clear waters, with towering city walls and a magnificent presence.

From a distance, everyone could feel the city's prosperity and bustle.

As they drew closer, the city's outline became increasingly clear.

Entering Fenyan City, the streets were filled with people, and shops lined both sides.

Various hawking sounds and clamor intertwined, full of life, and it was no less bustling than Heyang City.

Su Han and the others weaved through the crowd, searching for a suitable inn to stay.

After some searching, they finally found a quiet and secluded inn.

The inn's exterior was simple and elegant, with two large red lanterns hanging at the entrance, appearing particularly festive.

Upon entering the inn, the innkeeper enthusiastically greeted them.

"Immortal Masters, welcome to my humble establishment."

"Are you here to stay or dine?"

Zeng Shuchang nodded slightly and said, "We need both lodging and a meal."

"Please arrange five superior rooms for us, and some additional rooms according to our number. Also, please prepare some wine and dishes and deliver them to a private room."

The innkeeper quickly bowed and responded with a smile, "Alright, Immortal Masters, please wait a moment."

Under the innkeeper's arrangement, everyone quickly arrived at a private room on the second floor of the inn.

At this moment, there was a round dining table in the private room, surrounded by several chairs, and a few landscape paintings hung on the walls, adding a touch of elegance to the entire room.

After everyone was seated.

Zeng Shuchang looked at everyone and was the first to speak with a smile, "Since we've come to Fenyan City, we must try the unique delicacies of Incense Valley."

"I've heard that there is a dish in Fenyan City called 'Flaming Fragrance Fish', which is extremely delicious, no less than the Stewed Meiyu Fish in Heyang City. There is also a 'Green Mountain Cake', which has a soft and sweet taste..."

But before he could finish speaking.

At this moment, Junior Sister Shui Yue finally couldn't suppress the doubt in her heart.

After confirming there were no outsiders, she whispered, "Senior Brother Zeng, why are we Qingyun Sect cooperating with Incense Valley?"

"During my time in Incense Valley, I could clearly feel that the people in their sect were not friendly towards our Qingyun Sect."

"I think it would be better not to cooperate."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Shuchang shook his head, "Junior Sister Junior Sister Shui Yue, this is Sect Head's arrangement."

"Sect Head is concerned that during the process of annihilating the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, other Demon Sects might get involved, leading to unexpected losses for our Qingyun Sect."

"With Incense Valley involved, the risk can be shared."

Junior Sister Shui Yue frowned slightly and, after a moment of thought, said, "Sect Head's consideration is not unreasonable."

"However, Incense Valley has always been ambitious, and cooperating with them will likely lead to endless troubles."

Zeng Shuchang smiled and shook his head, "Junior Sister Junior Sister Shui Yue, since Sect Head has made this decision, he naturally has his reasons."

"We just need to follow instructions."

"As for whether Incense Valley will not cooperate fully when working together..."

Speaking of this, Zeng Shuchang's expression turned cold, "Then don't blame our Qingyun Sect for not considering the bond of being fellow righteous sects. Everything is within Sect Head's plan!"

Although Junior Sister Shui Yue still harbored concerns about cooperating with Incense Valley, "Since Senior Brother Dao Xuan is doing this..."

"Perhaps there really is a reason I am unaware of."

Junior Sister Shui Yue remained silent.

Su Han had been observing Junior Sister Shui Yue's expression and naturally saw her worry.

He leaned slightly towards Junior Sister Shui Yue and transmitted his voice, "Don't worry too much, I'm here."

Hearing Su Han's words, Junior Sister Shui Yue felt a warmth in her heart, but her face remained cool.

She tilted her head slightly and glanced at Su Han.

Su Han's lips curved slightly upwards, and while others weren't paying attention, he quietly reached his hand under the table and held Junior Sister Shui Yue's fair and delicate hand.

He played with her slender fingers.

Junior Sister Shui Yue's body stiffened, and her heart raced with nervousness.

She wanted to break free but was afraid that too much movement would attract attention.

Junior Sister Shui Yue bit her lip, warning Su Han with her eyes to let go quickly, while also quickly transmitting her voice, "My Senior Brothers are all here, don't mess around."

Su Han, however, completely pretended not to see and held her hand even tighter.

Junior Sister Shui Yue had no choice but to let him hold her hand, silently praying that no one would discover them.

At this moment, Zeng Shuchang brought up the topic of food again, and everyone's attention was drawn to him.

Seeing this, Su Han became bolder and gently rubbed Junior Sister Shui Yue's palm.

Junior Sister Shui Yue's face flushed slightly, and she glared fiercely at Su Han.

Su Han, however, smiled even more happily and continued to tease Junior Sister Shui Yue with small gestures.

Until after dinner, everyone prepared to return to their rooms.

Su Han and Junior Sister Shui Yue quietly followed at the back of the group.

"Master, I'll come find you in a bit..."

Hearing Su Han's words, Junior Sister Shui Yue nodded slightly, her heart a mix of nervousness and anticipation, a faint blush subtly creeping up her neck.

Su Han returned to his room and waited for a moment until he was sure everyone else had returned to their rooms.

He pushed open the door and came to Junior Sister Shui Yue's door.

Knock knock knock~

The sound of knocking echoed.

Inside the room, Junior Sister Shui Yue's heart suddenly raced upon hearing the knocking, a mix of nervousness and joy intertwined.

Gulp~

She lightly pursed her red lips and nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Then, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement, and quickly walked to the door, opening it.

Su Han quickly slipped into the room.

Bang!

The door closed.

At this moment.

Looking at Junior Sister Shui Yue in front of him, Su Han could no longer suppress the longing in his heart and pulled Junior Sister Shui Yue tightly into his embrace.

Junior Sister Shui Yue's delicate body stiffened slightly, but her cool face softened, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

She opened her arms and also tightly hugged Su Han, feeling the warmth in his embrace.

Su Han lowered his head and whispered in Junior Sister Shui Yue's ear, "Wife, did you miss your husband these past two years?"

Junior Sister Shui Yue's eyes reddened slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards, revealing a gentle smile.

"I missed... my Husband~"

Su Han smiled, very happy.

He gently cupped Junior Sister Shui Yue's face and gazed into her beautiful jewel-like eyes.

"Don't~"

Junior Sister Shui Yue's eyes held shyness, and she slightly lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes trembling gently, her body trembling with nervousness and anticipation.

Su Han lowered his head and kissed Junior Sister Shui Yue's soft lips.
