208: Wenmin's little hands

Chapter 208: Wen Min's Small Hand

Wen Min discovered her hand was suddenly held by Su Han, and her heart couldn't help but let out a soft "ah" in an instant.

Her body stiffened slightly, her eyes filled with surprise, as if she couldn't believe Su Han would do such a thing.

She subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Su Han's hand held it tightly. That warm and powerful touch made her heart involuntarily flutter with panic.

"Could it be that Junior Brother discovered something?"

Her lips trembled slightly.

She only felt her heart beating fiercely, as if it were about to leap out of her chest. A never-before-felt shyness and sweetness surged into her heart.

After a moment of hesitation, Wen Min's hand gradually relaxed.

She no longer tried to pull it away, but instead slightly tightened her grip on Su Han's hand, their fingers intertwined.

Lowering her head, she didn't dare to look into Su Han's eyes.

She only stole glances at him from the corner of her eye, her shyness mixed with a hint of hard-to-conceal joy.

Her already flushed cheeks became even redder. That blush even spread from her cheeks to her ears, staining her fair neck with a faint pink hue.

Su Han, upon feeling Wen Min's reaction, slightly curved his lips upwards.

At the same time, he sensed the delicate touch of skin in his palm...

His fingertips subconsciously rubbed gently, and he could feel the incredibly smooth skin on Wen Min's hand, as if a light pinch could draw water.

He slightly increased the strength in his hand, clearly feeling the bones of her slender fingers. Their exquisite structure gave him an inexplicable desire to protect her.

"If Senior Apprentice-Sister knew that it wasn't just Senior Sister Xueqi, but also her Master Shui Yue, who was like a mother to her..."

"At that time, I wonder what her reaction would be?"

Thinking of the Head Seat of Xiao Zhu Peak, his Master Shui Yue, the Senior Apprentice-Sister of Xiao Zhu Peak, Wen Min, and the Junior Sister of Xiao Zhu Peak, Lu Xueqi, together in the future...

He was even a little excited.

Lost in thought, Su Han and Wen Min had already left the less crowded corridor and unknowingly returned to a place not far from a martial arts stage.

At this moment, people were coming and going around them, and the noise gradually rose. There were even more people here than at the stage where Tian Linger was competing.

It seemed that they were all fellow Disciples attracted by the competition on the stage.

As soon as Wen Min and Su Han approached the crowd, the surrounding discussions surged like a tide, with many topics revolving around Lu Xueqi.

"Look quickly, the next one to appear is the Genius Disciple of Xiao Zhu Peak, Lu Xueqi, right?"

A male Disciple in a green robe nudged his companion beside him.

"Yes, and Senior Sister Xueqi is indeed as cold and ethereal as the rumors say, truly like a Fairy who stepped out of a painting."

The Disciple who was nudged echoed, his gaze fixed on the distance, his eyes full of admiration.

"Don't just look at how beautiful Senior Sister Xueqi is, her talent is also terrifyingly high. I heard she is also extremely diligent in cultivation, achieving such mastery at a young age.

With her and Su Han Shidi at Xiao Zhu Peak, it seems the spotlight for the next few decades won't dim."

"It's good, it's good, but it's just a bit too cold. Ordinary people probably can't even say a single intimate word to her.

I just mustered up the courage to greet her, but she just glanced at me indifferently. That look froze the rest of my sentence back in my throat."

A slightly thinner Disciple shrank his neck, speaking with lingering fear.

"What do you know? How could someone like Lu Xueqi be easily approachable?"

As soon as these words came out, several people around nodded in agreement.

And at this moment.

Watching as they got closer and closer to the stage, Wen Min's gaze nervously swept around, as if afraid of running into acquaintances.

She bit her lip and gently struggled, trying to release her hand.

At the same time, she whispered to Su Han, "Junior Brother, let go of Senior Sister."

"What if the other Junior Sisters from Xiao Zhu Peak see us and tell Senior Sister Xueqi?"

Su Han, however, seemed unconcerned, still holding on tightly, that faint smile still on his lips.

"Senior Sister, I'm not afraid of being seen by others, what are you panicking about?"

Wen Min became anxious and pulled harder. Seeing that Su Han still didn't let go, her eyes were full of pitiful pleading.

"Junior Brother, give Senior Sister some time."

"Okay? Please?"

Hearing her say this, Su Han's grip loosened slightly. Wen Min finally managed to withdraw her hand and even took a small step back, distancing herself from Su Han.

Her hands subconsciously went behind her back, as if trying to hide some unspeakable secret.

Seeing her so nervous, Su Han smiled and shook his head.

Wen Min, having escaped Su Han's control, seemed to regain her confidence and 'fiercely' glared at him.

"Come with Senior Sister."

With that, she turned and walked into the crowd, while Su Han followed leisurely behind her.

The two weaved through the bobbing heads and soon saw Lu Xueqi's cold figure standing beside the stage.

Her figure was tall, and her white robe fluttered in the wind, as if she were standing alone in the world.

At this moment, she was focused on the competition on the stage, her cold face devoid of expression.

Wen Min took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart, before stepping forward towards Lu Xueqi, forcing a slightly stiff smile.

"Senior Sister Xueqi."

"I have not failed in my mission. Junior Brother has been brought here by Senior Sister."

Lu Xueqi heard Wen Min's words and turned to look at Wen Min. "Senior Apprentice-Sister, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Wen Min waved her hand, her words carrying a hint of guilt.

After all, just from the effort of finding Su Han, she had already become the Senior Apprentice-Sister who was competing with the Junior Sister for a man.

Although that layer of window paper hadn't been completely broken through yet...

But as long as the two of them were given an opportunity to be alone, Wen Min didn't think she could refuse Su Han. It was even possible that she would be the one to confess to Su Han.

Lu Xueqi, however, didn't notice anything unusual about her Senior Apprentice-Sister. Instead, she turned to look at Su Han.

A hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

But it was hidden very deeply, and her expression still seemed cold.

"Su Han Shixiong. You're here."

Su Han walked forward with a smile.

"Senior Sister Xueqi, you've waited a long time."

"I wonder why Senior Sister asked me to come?"

Hearing Su Han's words, Wen Min on the side was also a little puzzled. She didn't know why her Junior Sister had asked her to find Junior Brother right before the competition.

Although she was very grateful for this unexpected turn of events, otherwise she didn't know how much longer she would have to endure.

But in her opinion, even if her Junior Sister had feelings for Su Han, she wasn't the type of person who absolutely needed Su Han to watch her competition.

Lu Xueqi, upon hearing this, slightly pursed her beautiful lips. "Senior Brother, speaking of which, you are half my Master."

"In this battle, I want to display the Taishang Sword Canon and also let Senior Brother see my sword moves."

"I hope Senior Brother won't be disappointed."

"Hmm?"

Wen Min's eyes were full of confusion when she heard Lu Xueqi's words.

If it were before, Wen Min might not have asked further. After all, it wasn't appropriate for her to inquire too much about the matters between Junior Brother and Senior Sister Xueqi.

But now...

She told herself that her relationship with Su Han was no longer a simple one between a Senior Sister and a Junior Brother.

Thinking this, Wen Min looked at Su Han curiously.

"Junior Brother, what does Senior Sister Xueqi mean?"

"What do you mean by half a Master, and what is the Taishang Sword Canon?"
