Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 240 - 139: Held by Aunt Ruo... What’s the Reason?_2

Chapter 240: Chapter 139: Held by Aunt Ruo... What’s the Reason?_2

She lifted her right hand to smooth her hair, smiling slightly with an emphasized tone: "Weren’t you just calling me ’Aunt Ruo’? Why are you calling me senior now?"

Hmm, once I finish the empathy process without him knowing, it’ll go back to the simple ’Aunt Ruo’ relationship.

Lu Jin’an stared blankly at Xiao Yinruo, whose face was like a blooming peach blossom, his lips moved slightly: "Aunt Ruo..."

"Good boy." Xiao Yinruo patted Lu Jin’an’s shoulder and smiled brightly: "Jin’an, I will talk to Wanyu, so you don’t need to overthink it."

Lu Jin’an said nothing, unable to understand what confessing to his Master and hugging him had to do with each other.

What did she mean?

And overthink... overthink what?

He honestly never thought Xiao Yinruo liked him; how could Palace Master Xiao be such a casual person?

Then what was the meaning of that hug?

"Let’s go." Xiao Yinruo started walking: "Let’s go meet up with Wanyu and the others."

"Hmm..."

Lu Jin’an followed Xiao Yinruo’s pace, unable to resist glancing a few more times at her gracefully curved back.

Even though her clothing didn’t reveal her figure much, Lu Jin’an felt Palace Master Xiao was more like a ripe peach.

This rich charm was even more intense than during their conversation outside Qingyi Palace, and he could faintly smell the mature, juicy fragrance from her now.

Lu Jin’an was utterly baffled.

Up ahead, Xiao Yinruo quickened her steps, slightly clenched her hands, and hurried to find Wanyu to complain... she had to put an end to Jin’an’s thoughts!

Without a word, they quickly arrived at their destination.

Upon seeing Pei Wanyu waiting at the door, she hurried over, grabbed Pei Wanyu’s wrist, and walked towards a nearby alley.

Pei Wanyu subtly twisted her wrist, then held Xiao Yinruo’s hand.

Hmm, there’s moisture in the palm... looks like something happened.

She hadn’t dared to use her Divine Sense to observe earlier, for fear of Yinruo noticing.

Precisely because she hadn’t, she was more curious about what her treasured disciple and Yinruo had talked about to make Yinruo sweat.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Pei Wanyu looked at Xiao Yinruo with her head tilted: "Hey? Why are you sweating?"

As she spoke, she inconspicuously glanced at her friend’s waist and hips area—sweating?

"Mind your disciple!" Xiao Yinruo shook off Pei Wanyu’s hand, crossed her arms, glanced outside the alley, then glared at her friend.

"What did my disciple do to you?" Pei Wanyu blinked, thinking that with Jin’an’s nature, he couldn’t possibly do anything inappropriate.

"He..." Xiao Yinruo took a deep breath: "He likes me!"

?

Pei Wanyu involuntarily straightened her delicate body, genuinely incredulous as she looked at Xiao Yinruo: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Her treasured disciple didn’t even know about Yinruo’s Empathy technique, how could he fall for her so quickly?!

Seeing Pei Wanyu’s expression, Xiao Yinruo chuckled softly: "Surprised, aren’t you? I’m surprised too."

Pei Wanyu’s eyes flickered, her expression involuntarily darkened, and her chest heaved rapidly with her breaths.

She felt angry, and even hurt.

Without being aware, her treasured disciple suddenly fell for Yinruo, as if Yinruo was more charming than herself.

Even though she knew her good disciple couldn’t be the type to fall in love with anyone casually, and felt there might be some misunderstanding, the pang in her heart was truly uncomfortable.

Pei Wanyu couldn’t help but recall teasing Jin’an before, trying to make him feel envious of her.

She never expected this emotion to be brought by her friend Xiao Yinruo, who she usually had wrapped around her finger.

Pei Wanyu clenched her hands under her wide sleeves, her eyes narrowed slightly to calm her emotions.

Xiao Yinruo watched her expression, secretly relieved, thinking that Wanyu would surely manage Jin’an and put an end to his unethical feelings.

"What do you say?" Pei Wanyu turned to look at the wall, her calm voice tinged with a hint of urgency: "Why do you think Jin’an likes you? You two don’t have much interaction."

"Lack of interaction is one thing." Xiao Yinruo knew she needed to keep her tone cool at this moment, so she said calmly: "But his type doesn’t change.

Just like he likes you and your daughter, he sees a similar shadow in Nanzhi and me!"

She paused, then meticulously recounted the earlier conversation and her analysis to Pei Wanyu.

Though Pei Wanyu wasn’t feeling great internally, listening to her friend’s serious analysis... she not only stopped feeling down but also found it a bit amusing.

So she turned away to hide her current expression from Yinruo, covering her mouth with her hand.

Though she was initially uncomfortable, she realized there might be a misunderstanding. But she never expected this ’misunderstanding’ to be so funny.

What on earth was her friend thinking to conclude that he ’liked her’ from the good disciple’s words?

Uncontrollably, Pei Wanyu thought of how, in Ghost City, she wanted her good disciple to absorb yin energy... How similar was Yinruo’s current suspicion to her past actions?

Both inferred his ’ulterior motives’ toward them from Jin’an’s behavior.

But Pei Wanyu felt she and Yinruo differed—her environment, the atmosphere at the time, made her overthink naturally.

And Yinruo?

Jin’an was merely asking normal questions; how did she irrationally reach such a skewed conclusion?

Pei Wanyu thought it might be because she performed the ’Empathy Technique’ and thus, subconsciously developed some thoughts about her treasured disciple.

And these thoughts subtly influenced her thinking.

Interesting, truly interesting.

Pei Wanyu felt that letting Yinruo have such a misunderstanding wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. This way, Yinruo’s inner world would be even more colorful from now on, wouldn’t it?

’I need to think of a way to get Jin’an and her closer.’

Pei Wanyu thought with her phoenix eyes narrowed, while Xiao Yinruo watched her occasionally twitching shoulders, sighing lightly in her heart.

Wanyu was even moved to tears... How painful it must be.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yinruo felt even more guilty, thinking, to what extent did her friend come to terms with allowing her to empathize!

’I’ll need to make up for her doubly after the empathy process is complete.’

Xiao Yinruo thought, speaking softly: "That’s why I told you this, and then I hugged him..."

"You even hugged him?!" Pei Wanyu’s voice was filled with surprise and a hint of delight.

She hadn’t expected her good disciple to already have intimate body contact with Yinruo.

Xiao Yinruo lowered her head slightly: "I just wanted to make him completely give up, to extinguish his hopes, I’m sorry."

After finally controlling her expression, Pei Wanyu turned around to glare at Xiao Yinruo: "What makes you think this will make him give up? Won’t this only give him more hope?!"

Xiao Yinruo’s peach blossom eyes flashed with confusion: "Why do you say that?"

Pei Wanyu looked at Xiao Yinruo, thinking her friend might be on the Forget Love Path, but she still didn’t understand love between men and women.

After all, these feelings can’t be gauged by normal thinking... Love between men and women is a much more complex emotion.

"Because..." Pei Wanyu lightly parted her red lips, then shifted her tone after thinking: "You want to put an end to Jin’an’s thoughts, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Yinruo nodded: "I don’t want to wrong you or Nanzhi anymore."

"Then what if he doesn’t give up?" Pei Wanyu took a deep breath, her long phoenix eyes glistening with moisture, as if with traces of un-dried tears: "Even if you say you don’t want to see him, he isn’t one to give up easily!"

Xiao Yinruo furrowed her brow: "I just said, he wanted me to complain so you’d be angry and thus break his train of thought. That kid has this awareness; how could he not give up?"

Pei Wanyu took two steps forward, their chests almost touching, looking into her friend’s eyes, her voice light, yet seemingly suppressing some emotion: "Then why did you hug him?

Do you know kids at his age are very sensitive, and what you did essentially gave him hope again, don’t you understand?"

Meeting her friend’s gaze, Xiao Yinruo parted her red lips, is, is that so?

’Wanyu wouldn’t think I did it on purpose, would she?’

The thought crossed Xiao Yinruo’s mind and she quickly wanted to explain. But just then, Wanyu leaned forward slightly, and their clothing on their chests touched.

"Wanyu, you..."

"Don’t say anything yet!" Pei Wanyu said softly, maintaining her leaning posture while turning to look at the alley entrance, exposing a smile. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Xiao Yinruo instinctively turned her head and saw Lu Jin’an’s figure appearing at the alley’s entrance, where the light outside stretched his shadow.

The shadow of his head just happened to stop at the level of their chests.
