Preparations Completed Successfully

“Finished getting ready?”

Su Wanqing looked at Ning Yuer, who had finished washing up, and felt very satisfied.

With this girl’s obedient demeanor, coupled with Su Wanqing’s help and the shared experience of being rescued, Li Ziyu would surely agree.

“Mm…”

Ning Yuer nodded. She didn’t quite understand what Su Wanqing meant.

The other party had simply told her she was taking her somewhere and urged her to quickly wash up.

As for the specific destination, Su Wanqing hadn’t said, and Ning Yuer was too shy to ask.

“Shall we go?”

“Okay.”

Looking at the compliant Ning Yuer, Su Wanqing didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt a touch of envy.

See, this is what a disciple should be like; Chen Xueli, that rebellious disciple, was simply defying all norms.

If Ning Yuer wasn’t the female lead, she might genuinely have kept this girl.

This docile and obedient demeanor successfully helped Su Wanqing regain her dignity as a master.

In fact, if not for Chen Xueli’s overpowering possessiveness towards her, and the high likelihood of attracting another Phoenix Heavenly Empress due to her alluring bones, Su Wanqing might actually have considered taking on another obedient disciple to “level up a new alt account.”

Of course, she also knew that if she really did that, Chen Xueli would probably…

Hiss—

Su Wanqing subconsciously drew a sharp breath, feeling a little unwell, and quickly dismissed this dangerous thought.

“……”

Along the way, Ning Yuer kept looking at the silent Su Wanqing.

Although she was very curious if the other party would accept her as a disciple, with her current timid personality, she didn’t have the courage to ask.

Feeling a subtle unease in her heart, Ning Yuer unconsciously tightened her grip on Su Wanqing’s hand.

She had initially thought Su Wanqing had a gentle older sister’s personality, just with a cold appearance.

But after a day of getting along, while the other party was sometimes truly heartwarming, she was indeed very aloof when silent.

This personality must be what they call outwardly cold, inwardly warm, right?

“?”

“What’s wrong, Little Yuer?”

Su Wanqing also noticed Ning Yuer’s abnormality, stopped, and asked with concern.

“Nothing…”

Ning Yuer was about to refuse, but Su Wanqing forcefully cut her off.

“Hm?”

“Alright.”

Hearing that questioning sound, Ning Yuer knew her little secret couldn’t fool Su Wanqing, so she reluctantly asked the curiosity in her heart.

“Where are we going?”

However, she didn’t ask about Su Wanqing’s specific intentions.

Although she was very hopeful in her heart, she also knew it was just a pipe dream.

If she could really be accepted as a disciple by the Immortal Sister, she could stay with her forever, right?

But could she really do it?

“Oh, you mean that.”

Su Wanqing then remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to tell Ning Yuer the purpose of their trip, only thinking about her own matters—how to hand Ning Yuer over to Hongxiu, and how to persuade Li Ziyu to take this girl.

Although Su Wanqing wouldn’t need to worry about Ning Yuer once she reached Hongxiu, her conscience still felt a little uneasy.

Since she decided to change the female lead’s story, she also had to secure a good future for her.

“The place we’re going can put you on the path of cultivation.”

Su Wanqing took Ning Yuer’s hand and started walking again, heading towards the teahouse where she often met Li Ziyu.

However, her walking speed was very slow, not only because she had an ordinary girl beside her, but also because of her injuries.

Although she had recovered a lot after a night of rest, her injuries were not light, and her ability to get out of bed and walk was purely her forcing herself.

All of this was Su Wanqing’s effort to prevent further complications, to finish things here as soon as possible so she could return to the sect to recuperate.

Who knew that there was still a Shen Xianyue in this town, eyeing her like a tiger?

Even if the other party was the Demonic Saintess, Su Wanqing didn’t believe that girl had the guts to storm the sect’s mountain and abduct her back.

No, that wouldn’t be abduction; it would be robbery, but not of wealth, but of her, a beauty.

Moreover, Su Wanqing was also worried that, given the way she treated this girl, who knew if she would turn gay if they spent more time together?

So, it was enough for the girl to remember this kindness; sending her to Hongxiu earlier would be safer.

Sigh—

Thinking of all this, Su Wanqing couldn’t help but sigh. Indeed, from ancient times, beautiful women have caused trouble—

Compared to Shen Xianyue, she seemed to fit the description of a demoness more.

“…?…”

Ning Yuer, on the other hand, was unaware of Su Wanqing’s rich inner thoughts.

Listening to the Immortal Sister’s words and seeing her ever-changing expressions, she became even more bewildered.

After all, Su Wanqing’s words were too vague.

Did she mean for her to go somewhere else? Or to take her back to the Immortal Sect that people often spoke of?

“Welcome.”

Soon, Ning Yuer was brought to the teahouse by Su Wanqing. The two didn’t acknowledge the front desk greeter.

Instead, they went straight to the second floor, the place where Li Ziyu often met.

Su Wanqing was puzzled. Did this woman own shares in this teahouse?

Why could she always book the same room?

It couldn’t just be a coincidence, could it?

Of course, Su Wanqing couldn’t have imagined that she had simply overcomplicated things.

Li Ziyu’s actions were purely due to her wealth.

She had directly rented out the teahouse room for a month, paying a lump sum, which allowed her to meet Su Wanqing there every time.

“Elder Li.”

“Elder Su, you arrived so quickly?”

Upon seeing Su Wanqing’s arrival, Li Ziyu subconsciously glanced at Ning Yuer beside her.

Although she had changed a bit, Li Ziyu still recognized her as the young girl they had rescued yesterday.

Even though she was curious why Elder Su had brought her along, and even brought her here, she still cared about the beautiful woman’s injuries.

“Sit.”

“Actually, Elder Su, you didn’t need to rush so much. After all, your injuries are quite severe. You could have rested for a few days and then come over when you felt better.”

“I do have that much time, and we wouldn’t withhold your sect’s reward, so why be in such a hurry?”

“Your injuries probably make it difficult to even get out of bed right now, don’t they?”

Li Ziyu observed Su Wanqing’s movements and immediately realized the severity of her injuries, becoming even more curious why she was in such a hurry.

Even delaying by a day wouldn’t cause her to be sweating from pain, would it?

“It’s fine, just a little painful, it’s nothing.”

Su Wanqing waved her hand, indicating her ease, but these words could fool herself, but not the other two present.

“……”

Listening to Li Ziyu’s words, Ning Yuer, sitting beside Su Wanqing, unconsciously tightened her grip on her clothes.

Indeed, just as she thought, Immortal Sister was seriously injured.

Although Su Wanqing had told her it was nothing serious, the sensitive Ning Yuer didn’t believe her.

After all, no matter how she looked at it, Su Wanqing didn’t seem fine.

“?”

However, Ning Yuer’s small movements immediately caught Li Ziyu’s attention, and she eventually asked curiously.

“Elder Su, this is that girl, isn’t she?”

“Didn’t expect her to be quite pretty.”

“It seems Elder Li and I don’t see eye to eye.”

Su Wanqing, seeing that Li Ziyu was interested in Ning Yuer, immediately became extremely enthusiastic, even abandoning her aloof persona.

After all, the more interested Li Ziyu was, the better her chances of persuasion would be.

It seemed that the Xiangping Town trip could finally draw a perfect close today…
