The rain hadn't stopped yet, and Mu Qingyue sat in the waterside pavilion's lengthy corridor, gazing blankly at the raindrops pouring down like dense silver beads, splashing countless droplets on the ground.

The cold wind blew against her forehead, lifting her silvery white hair, and her pair of ruby-like eyes seemed to become slightly misted.

The footsteps approaching from behind stopped, and Zhu Nanzhi, fresh from her bath, looked at Mu Qingyue's side profile, feeling slightly surprised within.

When she woke up and came to the Qingyi Palace, Mu Qingyue was already sitting there. After her bath, she still maintained the same posture...

Embarrassed because of last night's events?

How could that be!

Last night, this reserved Sword Immortal was the most uninhibited, flaunting in front of her and Aunt Pei in all kinds of ways.

Would someone like her be shy afterwards?

Outrageous.

Then what could be the reason?

Hesitating for a moment, Zhu Nanzhi decided to show some concern, after all, they were in a certain kind of relationship with their husband.

"What are you thinking?" She fiddled with her deep green hair, still slightly damp, and sat next to Mu Qingyue, feeling the cool aura she exuded, silently moving a bit away, a flash of blush and anger in her eyes.

Because Mu Qingyue was indeed quite cold, especially as last night she kept provocatively using her icy hands to touch their husband, touch him, which didn't feel quite pleasant.

Especially when she deliberately covered their husband's... directing it towards Aunt Pei or her, the sensation of fire and ice was truly...

Thankfully, it only happened last night; she decided never to join them again in the future.

Suppressing her thoughts, Zhu Nanzhi now also locked eyes with Mu Qingyue. She clearly saw a hint of... peculiarity in those usually calm eyes.

This made Zhu Nanzhi frown involuntarily. Was there something strange about herself?

Last night, there wasn't, right... it was all natural reactions.

Mu Qingyue suddenly laughed, which made Zhu Nanzhi feel even more bewildered: "What are you laughing at?"

"Truly impressive." Mu Qingyue withdrew her gaze, looking again at the pouring rain beyond the corridor.

At dawn, she saw... the Junior Brother being seduced into 'straying' by Aunt Ruo.

Although she felt a bit tired, she hadn't entirely fallen asleep — appearing to be defeated.

Because Mu Qingyue knew well what she wanted: although she desired the Junior Brother to intensify, she couldn't always resist, needing to timely present a 'weak' side to give the Junior Brother a sense of satisfaction.

Keeping him hooked would make him form hopes, 'next time, I'll truly make Senior Sister beg for mercy.'

After all, continuous resistance would just make the Junior Brother feel bored.

Just like cultivation, always striving without seeing hope of a breakthrough, how could one's heart be content?

So when 'mother' and Nanzhi fell into deep sleep one after the other, she also feigned exhaustion, revealing a sleepy side, allowing the Junior Brother to rejoice for a while.

And precisely because of this, she witnessed something that shocked her immensely.

Aunt Ruo appearing at the doorway instantly cleared her mind, and with outstanding hearing, she captured the Junior Brother and Aunt Ruo's conversation.

Aunt Ruo had actually been in such a relationship with the Junior Brother long before... even before 'mother'!

When did this happen?

In the Qinglian Secret Realm?

Mu Qingyue didn't know, but it didn't stop her from feeling a certain thrill inside — the Junior Brother was actually 'straying' behind her back, using this method to bully her, to trample on her...

This feeling, different from peeping on 'mother' and Nanzhi, stirred her heart immensely.

She wanted to sneak a peek outside, but she didn't do it, knowing it would surely be discovered by Xiao Yinruo of the Divine Concealing Realm.

But this didn't prevent her from indulging in fantasies while lying in bed.

Aunt Ruo truly was... appearance is deceiving!

Actually seducing the Junior Brother for a secret affair, doing such shameless and immoral acts!

Simply too...

"Truly impressive." Mu Qingyue repeated.

Zhu Nanzhi frowned even deeper, her voice involuntarily rising a few decibels: "What exactly are you talking about!?"

Of course, Mu Qingyue wouldn't tell her about what she saw at dawn, after all, she still wanted to savor the 'bullying sensation' from the Junior Brother and Aunt Ruo's affair.

"Qingmiao Palace is truly impressive." Mu Qingyue smiled slightly: "Such a transcendent sect fostered someone like you, a Holy Daughter of the Forget Love Path, truly impressive."

Pausing, she added: "Aunt Ruo raised you single-handedly, also could be considered hands-on teaching, how could you be so unbridled in bed?

I always thought you were someone with a reserved and quiet temperament during the time at Mist River Cave Heaven."

Speaking these words, she couldn't help but chuckle lightly, now she understood that like master, like disciple.

Aunt Ruo training a disciple like Nanzhi, who practiced the Forget Love Path like it was the Hehuan Dao, wasn't really abnormal.

But she also understood this was only her imagination, after all, Nanzhi wasn't Aunt Ruo's daughter, previously Aunt Ruo had a very serious personality.

But she enjoyed thinking this way.

Perhaps, as Qiu Qingtang concluded in the "Delusional Yin Yang Path," the more pure and elegant a woman appears, the less proper she becomes once she's in love.

"I thought you were going to say something!

"It turns out, it's just such nonsense... boring!" Zhu Nanzhi stood up, giving Mu Qingyue an exasperated look before walking along the corridor towards Fuyao Inn.

Mu Qingyue silently watched Zhu Nanzhi's back. If Nanzhi knew about Aunt Ruo and her husband's affair, wouldn't she go crazy?

How would the Junior Brother handle this situation?

Or not handle it at all?

Mu Qingyue felt that not handling it would be best, with the Junior Brother secretly keeping Aunt Ruo elsewhere; she thought it was rather nice.
