201: Senior brother, I think you're in big trouble this time.
"I am his Revered Master! I am his Revered Master!"
"This... this is against human ethics! This is against the Heavenly Dao!"
She was like a child who had lost her way,
pacing back and forth anxiously in the room.
That look of being completely at a loss,
where was there even a hint of the demeanor of a Tribulation Crossing Great Power?
"What should I do? What should I do?"
"Should I tell that Rebellious Disciple?"
As soon as this thought arose,
it was ruthlessly extinguished by her without hesitation!
"No! Absolutely not!"
"If he finds out,
he... he'll definitely be smug to death!"
"He'll definitely take this matter and show off everywhere,
by then, how... how will I have any Face left to see anyone?!"
At the thought of Qin Feng's handsome Face filled with smug, wicked smiles,
Zhao Muxue gritted her silver teeth in anger.
"But... but this child, after all, cannot be hidden forever."
"And... and he is also the father of the child,
he has the right to know..."
Zhao Muxue's heart was in a mess,
she felt she had fallen into an unprecedented dilemma.
"What on earth should I do?"
She held her head and squatted down helplessly,
that fragile and bewildered look was enough to break one's heart.
Just as she was in a state of confusion and at a loss,
a name, like lightning in the night,
cut through her chaotic thoughts.
Bai Luoli!
Yes! There's also her! And the Sect Master Senior Sister!
A glimmer of hope suddenly burst into Zhao Muxue's eyes,
as if she had grabbed onto the last straw.
Right! How could I have forgotten her!
She is also that Rebellious Disciple's woman now,
we are now sisters standing on the same front!
We are using the same spear!
She has a profound cultivation, is well-informed, and is also the Sect Master,
she must have a way!
Yes! Go find her! I must go find her right away!
This thought allowed Zhao Muxue to instantly find her pillar of support,
she stood up abruptly from the ground,
those phoenix eyes that had already dimmed,
reignited with a determined light!
She must return to the Sect! Immediately! Now!
And she absolutely cannot let that Rebellious Disciple follow!
Otherwise, with his character,
knowing she went to find the Sect Master would definitely lead to wild thoughts,
and things would only become more troublesome!
She must think of a perfect excuse,
one that he cannot refuse, nor suspect!
Zhao Muxue took a deep breath,
forcing a trace of majesty and composure,
belonging to a Tribulation Crossing Great Power, onto her pale Face.
She straightened her slightly messy palace dress,
pushed open the door and walked out.
When Zhao Muxue reappeared,
Qin Feng was pacing on the spot with a worried expression,
Lin Yao and Ye Nianxin were waiting nearby, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Seeing her come out, Qin Feng immediately went to meet her,
his deep eyes full of concern.
"Xueer Wife, are you feeling better?
What on earth happened?"
He reached out to support her,
but was quietly avoided by Zhao Muxue.
This subtle movement made Qin Feng's heart sink a bit more.
"I'm fine."
Zhao Muxue forced herself to be calm,
not daring to look into Qin Feng's eyes,
for fear of being seen through.
She pulled out a blank communication jade slip from her Storage Ring,
pretending she had just received a message, and said to Qin Feng:
"Husband, I've just received an urgent message from the Sect Master."
She deliberately maintained her usual coldness,
her voice devoid of any emotion.
"There is urgent business at the Sect, and I am ordered to return immediately."
"Urgent business?" Qin Feng's brow furrowed even tighter,
"What urgent business is so sudden?
As the Saint, how come I haven't received any news?"
If there was any movement in the Tianxuan Sect,
he, as the nominal Saint, should be the first to know.
Zhao Muxue's heart tightened, but her Face remained calm;
she had expected Qin Feng to ask this.
"It's an internal confidential matter of Qingxin Peak,
of great importance, and only I, the Peak Master, can handle it."
She fabricated a reason without changing her expression,
"The Sect Master specifically instructed that this matter should not be spread,
which is why she sent a separate message to me."
This excuse was reasonable;
Qingxin Peak was essentially her domain,
and it made sense that some secrets were not shared with outsiders.
But the doubt in Qin Feng's heart was not completely dispelled,
he always felt things weren't that simple;
Xueer Wife was far too abnormal today.
"I see." Qin Feng pondered for a moment, still uneasy,
"Then Xueer, I'll go back with you.
It's been a long time since I returned to the Sect,
so I can visit the First Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister as well."
As he spoke, he naturally tried to take Zhao Muxue's hand,
which almost scared Zhao Muxue's soul away!
Let him follow back? That would be disastrous!
If he caught her looking for Bai Luoli, wouldn't the secret be exposed on the spot?
"No!"
Zhao Muxue almost blurted it out,
her voice so sharp she even startled herself.
Seeing the instant look of astonishment in Qin Feng's eyes,
she hurriedly tried to cover it up.
"Husband, what I mean is..."
Her voice softened immediately, carrying a hint of acting spoiled,
"The Sect Master seeking me this time is for a very urgent matter,
it cannot wait, and I must return at the fastest speed."
She paused, looked up at Qin Feng,
her phoenix eyes regaining their coldness, her expression incredibly sincere.
"Besides, it wasn't easy for Yaoer and Nianming to come out and play;
how can you just leave them here and go?"
"Furthermore, you just caused a big stir in Tianbao City yesterday,
now the entire Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland is watching you,
suddenly returning to the Sect would surely attract the attention and suspicion of those with ulterior motives, which wouldn't be good."
"Just stay here obediently and play with Yaoer and the others for a few days,
once I finish the Sect's business, I'll come back to find you very soon, okay?"
Her words were logical and airtight,
explaining the reason for leaving alone,
while also considerately thinking of Qin Feng and Lin Yao,
like a perfect main wife who understands the big picture.
Looking at her sincere eyes which said "I'm doing this for your own good,"
the doubt in Qin Feng's heart gradually faded.
After all, one must give their woman enough Face.
"Alright." Qin Feng relented, showing a doting smile,
"Since our Xueer Wife says so,
Husband will listen to you."
He reached out and gently straightened her hair that had been ruffled by the wind,
his voice deep and full of magnetism.
"You alone on the road must be careful,
if you encounter trouble you can't solve, message me immediately,
no matter where you are, Husband will be by your side at the first moment."
This domineering yet gentle romantic line
made Zhao Muxue's heart tremble,
a warm current instantly surged through her body.
She looked at the man before her who could so easily tug at her heartstrings,
complex light flashing in her ice-fire phoenix eyes,
there was emotion, reluctance, and deep guilt.
She was actually deceiving him.
"Mm."
Zhao Muxue didn't dare look for another second,
fearing she wouldn't be able to stop herself from blurting out all her secrets,
and only squeezed out a sound as faint as a mosquito's buzz from her throat.
Then she stayed no longer, turning into a brilliant ice-blue sword light,
soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon in an instant,
her speed so fast it was as if a ghost were chasing her.
Qin Feng stood on the spot, watching the sword light disappear into the deep clouds,
the smile on his Face gradually fading,
replaced by a look of deep thought.
A gloating, crisp voice sounded in his ear:
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Lin Yao, with her small hands behind her back, hopped over to Qin Feng's side,
shaking her head like a storyteller:
"Senior Brother, oh Senior Brother, I think you've really gotten into big trouble this time."
Her big, watery eyes rolled around,
filled with the gossip-hungry fire of someone who loves to watch the world burn..."
