Chapter 231 229: Bei Lingyin Pries into Pei Yuhang's Unknown Secret
"Xiaoxiao, you're late today!"
"No, I'm not... I got here right on time! Wait! Master, you're changing the subject! Why are you hugging Senior Sister?!"
The moment Yu Xiaoyan finished speaking, Pei Yuhang rapped her on the forehead.
"What's wrong with me hugging your senior sister? Look at how diligent and serious she is. While you were still sleeping in, she already came over and sparred with me twice!"
"..."
Qing Yueqiu watched Pei Yuhang as he started to scold her junior sister. 'It looks like I won't be able to ask the question that's been weighing on me today.'
'Xiaoxiao's timing couldn't be worse...'
A murderous glint flashed in Qing Yueqiu's eyes as she looked at her junior sister, but she quickly snapped out of it, patting her head as a wave of fear washed over her.
'Wait, what was I just thinking? Xiaoxiao is annoying, but not so much that I'd want to kill her, right?'
'This is the Cold Palace Sword Mansion, your home with Master, not some fighting pit that reeks of blood!'
Sensing something was amiss with the eldest disciple in his arms, Pei Yuhang asked with concern, "Yueqiu, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
"Master... Yueqiu is indeed not feeling well. May I be excused from morning practice today?"
Qing Yueqiu felt that after her Killing Momentum had advanced again, something had gone wrong with her body. She had become more impulsive and irritable. She had to go back and talk to Bei Lingyin.
"Of course. Just focus on getting better."
As Pei Yuhang spoke, he gently helped Qing Yueqiu to her feet.
He hadn't forgotten that Qing Yueqiu had told him yesterday that it was her time of the month. Combined with the girl's reckless fighting style just now, Pei Yuhang just assumed Yueqiu had suffered an internal injury and needed some time to rest and recuperate.
Seeing her senior sister get excused by their master so easily, Yu Xiaoyan was instantly green with envy.
"Master, I'm not feeling well either! I want to be excused too!"
"If you're not feeling well, suck it up."
"Whyyy~? You already let Senior Sister go back and rest."
"As for why I trust your senior sister and not you, Xiaoxiao, you should take a good look at yourself for the answer!"
"..."
She watched Qing Yueqiu leave with a resentful gaze, and then—the look of grievance on her face vanished completely.
She threw herself onto Pei Yuhang, nuzzling affectionately against his neck.
"Master, that troublesome senior sister is gone. Now it's finally just the two of us!"
Pei Yuhang dodged the little minx's passionate kiss and asked in confusion, "Weren't you just clamoring to leave?"
"If Master is willing to let Xiaoxiao go back to catch up on sleep, I'd be very happy, of course. But if I can't go back and slack off, staying here alone with you to do the things that lovers do is also something to look forward to~"
Pei Yuhang pulled Yu Xiaoyan off him, made her stand up straight, and said with a stern face, "I'm having you stay here to properly teach you cultivation, not so you can... do improper things!"
"Then after Master finishes teaching Xiaoxiao her cultivation of the Sword Dao, you can teach Xiaoxiao the 'cultivation' of being a woman, right~?"
Yu Xiaoyan licked her lips at Pei Yuhang, making Pei Sword Immortal instantly regret his decision. Perhaps he should have given this little hellion of a disciple an excuse to leave after all.
...
...
'Little Yueqiu has summoned me again. It's probably to ask about her Killing Momentum. I heard she killed a Nascent Soul Cultivator of the same rank yesterday. With Little Yueqiu's talent, that should be enough for her Killing Momentum to advance again.'
Bei Lingyin stealthily infiltrated the Cold Palace Sword Mansion, preparing to meet Qing Yueqiu.
But halfway there, she glanced in the direction of Pei Yuhang's residence.
'The Cold Sun Sword Immortal's relationship with Shang Miaoyan is far from simple. Chen Shishi was dragged away by that woman's imperial guards just for trying to hit on Pei Yuhang.'
'No matter how you look at it, this seems like Shang Miaoyan acting out in anger because another woman coveted her personal plaything.'
'If my guess is right, this is utterly scandalous... to think that a great Righteous Sword Immortal is actually the personal plaything of the Demon Path Saintess.'
Bei Lingyin pondered for a moment, then decided to head to Pei Yuhang's residence first to snoop around for information.
'The accuracy of this intelligence is very important to me. If I can get solid proof, I might be able to pass this information to that certain someone in the Yin Yang Sacred Land's Elder Hall.'
'A challenge from the Elder Hall will surely be enough to keep Shang Miaoyan busy for a while. That troublesome woman definitely won't have the time to investigate me then.'
With her mind made up, Bei Lingyin silently crept toward Pei Yuhang's residence.
But halfway there, she was suddenly drawn in by the sweet, intimate sounds of women coming from a bamboo grove.
Those low moans and soft cries... even as a ruthless assassin, Bei Lingyin understood their amorous nature.
Bei Lingyin immediately stopped in her tracks, puzzled.
'The Cold Palace Sword Mansion doesn't have any male disciples. How could someone be... in broad daylight...'
'Could it be that one of Pei Yuhang's young disciples, or perhaps a True Disciple of the Daoist Sect's Saint Son, invited a lover from the outside to... advance their relationship?'
She couldn't help but feel curious.
'Ahem, it's not because I'm a gossip, of course. As a top-tier spy, I must maintain a high degree of sensitivity to any potential intelligence.'
'In any case, I have to go take a look!'
'I'm a little excited. Although public displays of lewdness are common in a debaucherous place like the Yin Yang Sacred Land, this is the first time I've seen it since coming to the Dao Sect.'
'It seems these Righteous Cultivators are cut from the same cloth as the Yin Yang Dao cultivators I look down on the most~'
This top assassin from Yama Hall used her ultimate Stealth Technique and slowly parted the layers of bamboo obscuring her view.
Her beautiful eyes widened, and it felt as if thunder was crashing through her mind. She almost suspected she had fallen for an Illusion Technique.
One of the main figures in the stimulating, erotic tableau before her... was none other than Pei Yuhang!!
And the other female lead was definitely not Ye Liyuan.
'This master and disciple pair... they've really opened my eyes.'
'So the human heart really is this untrustworthy. "Pure Love Sword Immortal," "A Beautiful Tale for the Ages"—it's all bullshit! There really is no true love in this world! People just praise whatever they lack the most.'
'Heh heh, Yueqiu~'
'I really don't know if you'll be able to accept this reality.'
'Even I, who am used to seeing the ugliness in people's hearts with my Heart Eye, am shocked by how hypocritical this seemingly celestial man is. For an innocent girl like you, this might be too cruel...'
'Not only is your master involved with the Saintess of a Sacred Land, he hasn't even spared the other women in this very mansion.'
'Only a silly, innocent disciple like you would think that Pei Sword Immortal is truly a flawless, perfect man.'
'But... for Pei Yuhang to attract so many women, it's not just because of a handsome face blessed by the Celestial Dao. He really does have his... outstanding talents~!'
Bei Lingyin swallowed hard, desperately suppressing her voice so that not the slightest sound escaped.
She admired the scene for a moment, then took out a Memory Stone to commemorate the occasion.
'In a little while, this Memory Stone should be enough to shatter that little girl Yueqiu's Dao Heart.'
'A girl has to experience a scumbag before she can grow up, after all~'
Besides, Bei Lingyin felt that this god-sent opportunity for voyeurism, in addition to making Qing Yueqiu face reality, was also a great gift she had in store for Shang Miaoyan!
