77: Information asymmetry

“No, no way, Qin Feng that beast, he truly infuriates me! I must go clean up the sect!”

“What’s the rush? We can talk about that later!” Chen Xuan tried to dissuade Han Wanqing.

However, Han Wanqing ultimately did not take his advice. After Chen Xuan threw her onto the bed, she vanished in a blink of an eye.

“Don’t do this! If you’re not here, Lin Yunhan will eat me alive!”

“Don’t, don’t worry. Yun Han wouldn’t do that. She knows her limits! Revered Master, Revered Master isn’t ready. Little Xuan, spare me this time, okay? Next time, next time I’ll make it up to you, alright?!”

“…”

After saying that, Han Wanqing ran away in a flash.

Over at Zhou Jingqi’s place.

“Speak. What exactly happened? Why did my Revered Master say that Chen Xuan’s beloved is me?” Zhou Jingqi asked with a stern Face, questioning Zhou Jingyi who was sitting nearby.

“Sister, it’s not like that, it’s…”

Zhou Jingyi hung her head, unable to articulate anything.

“So, you knew from the beginning that Chen Xuan always liked me, right?”

“Mm!”

“You, you’re such a big dummy! You clearly knew he liked me, so why did you still get together with him? Isn’t that just throwing yourself into a pit of fire?” Zhou Jingqi widened her eyes, looking at her sister in disbelief.

This was too absurd! How could Zhou Jingyi be so foolish?! Knowing that Chen Xuan liked her, yet still choosing to be with him – Zhou Jingqi found it incomprehensible.

Zhou Jingyi, however, lowered her head and whispered, “Sister, I know it’s wrong to do this, but when he came over to hug me and snuggle with me, I just couldn’t control myself. I just like him, and I want to be with him, boo hoo hoo!”

After speaking, Zhou Jingyi’s eyes were already brimming with tears.

If Chen Xuan had been present and heard this, he would surely have explained: “Silly girl, liking you and liking your sister aren’t mutually exclusive. You two sisters will be a family for life, part of my Chen Family!”

Zhou Jingqi sighed upon hearing this.

“So now what? What are you planning to do?” Zhou Jingqi asked.

“Sister, I don’t want to leave him. I want to be with him forever. And… I feel like Chen Xuan likes me too!” Zhou Jingyi said firmly.

“You’re so beautiful, of course that scoundrel would like you!” Zhou Jingqi shook her head. Her sister was already deeply entangled and unable to extricate herself.

“No, it’s not like that. Chen Xuan is a responsible man!”

“Whether he’s responsible or not isn’t for you to say! Another day, I will personally test him to see if he truly likes you! If he really doesn’t like you, then don’t waste your feelings on him. That will only drag you down, understand?”

“Mm, thank you, Sister, for helping me!”

Zhou Jingqi smiled, patted Zhou Jingyi’s head, and said, “Silly girl, we’re sisters! How could I not help you?”

The two sisters exchanged a smile, each with their own plans in mind.

…

Meanwhile, in a secluded Secret Realm, Lin Yunhan was bathing.

She couldn’t help but tremble all over when she thought of what had happened to her earlier.

“Damn it, this is truly infuriating!! Why did this happen?! How can just anyone enter this Dynasty’s Secret Realm, and it had to be that little rascal Chen Xuan!”

However, as soon as she thought of being held in Chen Xuan’s arms, her Face flushed again.

“Han Wanqing said that Chen Xuan’s sole purpose in everything he does is to elevate his seniority so he can… so he can be with Han Wanqing… Now, has he finally set his sights on me? What, what should I do?!”

Lin Yunhan wasn’t as Immortal Qi-filled, serious, and rigid as she appeared on the surface; she was quite the opposite.

Even the mistakes she made back then, like punishing Chen Xuan, were just her trying to save Face and being verbally assertive. As long as Chen Xuan sincerely admitted his mistake and Han Wanqing advised him, she would reluctantly forgive him.

But she never expected things to be different from what she thought! Especially when Chen Xuan talked back and mocked her for not daring to lay a hand on him, she almost cried tears of anger on the spot!

Yet she had no other choice. The main reason was that Han Wanqing had indeed warned her, but she insisted on going, which led to this misunderstanding.

It wasn’t their fault, so she couldn’t really do anything to Chen Xuan. His relationship with Han Wanqing was what she cared about the most, and she really wanted to know what would happen between them next.

“Hmph, Han Wanqing too! What exactly did Chen Xuan say when he came to find you? To think you’d even hide it from me! Just wait until you come over; I’ll definitely give you a piece of my mind!”

“What if? What if Chen Xuan really has feelings for me and wants to raise his seniority? Then, what should I do? With my looks, even if I refuse him, he’ll probably still be persistent…”

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Just as Lin Yunhan was in a dilemma, there was suddenly a knock on the door outside.

“The door’s unlocked, come in!”

“Oh.”

“Wait, wait, are you Chen Xuan?!”

“Mm, my Revered Master told me to come see you and apologize.”

“Stop! Halt! Stay right where you are, don’t move!” Lin Yunhan shouted.

“No problem, Lin Fairy, please don’t get agitated!” After saying that, Chen Xuan stood still, waiting for Lin Yunhan.

Soon, Lin Yunhan emerged, dressed in a full-body, very solemn and noble gown.

“Chen Xuan, what, what are you doing here?” Lin Yunhan asked nervously.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said, “Uh, didn’t I just say? I came to see you.”

“See me?” Lin Yunhan’s heart grew even more flustered.

“Yes, to see you, and to apologize. My tone was indeed a bit harsh just now. It was my fault!”

“Hmph, if Han Wanqing hadn’t told you, you wouldn’t have come, would you?”

“Mm, I was afraid, Fairy, that you might accidentally kill me.”

“Then why did you dare to speak so arrogantly just now?!”

“Cough, cough, well, wasn’t my Revered Master present?”

“Even with her, she’s no match for me!”

“Yes, yes, yes, Lin Fairy, you are indeed formidable, you are the most formidable!”

“You, you’re treating me like a child!” Lin Yunhan stomped her foot.

“Uh, if you don’t accept it even when I say that, then what should I say?” Chen Xuan scratched his head.

“Forget it, forget it. Let’s just let this matter go. No one is allowed to bring it up again!” Lin Yunhan’s expression softened slightly.

“Alright, nothing happened just now! Then I’ll take my leave!” Chen Xuan nodded and was about to turn and leave.

“Wait!”

“?”

“I, I have something I want to talk to you about!”

“What do you want to talk about?”

“Talk about you.”

“Me? What’s there to talk about me? Rather, Lin Fairy, you are exceptionally beautiful, a true beauty, it’s you who should be discussed more!”

‘Sure enough! He really does have that kind of intention towards me! I must hint at him!’
