Ninth Yang, The Demon Elder Sister
For so many years.
Liu Su always felt like a clear spring, her thoughts calm and undisturbed.
But the recent unusual events have made her question herself.
Liu Su doesn’t know what’s wrong with herself lately.
Many things seem not to be her intention.
But she did them.
The first time she had this feeling was when she “coincidentally” ran into her Elder Sister drinking alone at the Inn of Everything.
Then it was at Plum Blossom Mountain Manor, and then Yudou City…
And now, setting up the trading post headquarters in Huayang City and investing heavily in the Jade Bath…
These decisions, one after another, are all related to Xie Fei.
As if since she knew of Xie Fei’s existence, there’s a different self controlling something.
Looking back.
Liu Su found that her actions are increasingly unlike her former self.
In the past, she was cold and distant, indifferent to worldly affairs, and even seemed insensitive to family affection.
The love from her parents and Elder Sister only slowly took root in her heart after years of daily interaction.
But Xie Fei’s appearance was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples and making her feel a strange emotion.
“What’s going on?”
Liu Su repeatedly asked herself, but she could never find the answer.
Every interaction with Xie Fei left her emotionally complex.
Those details, when recalled later, are always somewhat blurry, as if shrouded in a thin mist.
She even suspects that there is another “self”!
Emotion has always been an unfamiliar realm for Liu Su.
She has always lacked emotional fulfillment and finds it difficult to understand other people’s tendency to be crazy for love.
But facing Xie Fei, she feels an inexplicable closeness.
That feeling…
It’s neither family affection nor friendship.
But a sentiment that makes her heart race yet is incomprehensible.
Finally.
She made a bold Guess.
——Perhaps, she’s fallen in love with Xie Fei!
To verify this Guess, she carefully planned this Jade Bath scene.
From her attire to her drunken state, and those probing words, they were all attempts she made with courage.
However.
At the end of the act, she remained confused.
What exactly is her feeling toward Xie Fei?
Is it love, or some kind of Illusion?
But what she was certain of was Xie Fei’s special Status in her heart.
Usually, she doesn’t have a good expression towards men.
But facing Xie Fei’s approach, she not only doesn’t reject it, but even secretly looks forward to it.
Every time she sees him, a hint of Joy arises in her heart, as if the whole world becomes brighter.
But strangely.
If this is love, why doesn’t she feel jealous of her Elder Sister, Liu Ying?
Why doesn’t she feel Hostility towards other women around Xie Fei?
This reaction is completely opposite to the possessiveness of someone falling in love.
It made her even more confused.
“Is my emotion too weak?”
Liu Su pondered secretly, “Or is my feeling for him really just some kind of Illusion?”
She couldn’t figure it out.
The only thing clear is Xie Fei’s incomparable weight in her heart.
“Liu Su.”
Xie Fei’s voice interrupted her rambling thoughts.
She raised her head slightly and whispered, “What is it?”
Xie Fei looked straight ahead and said, “Regarding your sweetheart, I think you should think it over carefully.
“Matters of the heart cannot be rushed.”
“Okay.” Liu Su softly replied.
After saying that, she buried her face deeper.
For a long time.
Liu Su asked in a low voice, “Brother-in-law, will you become Dao Companions with my Elder Sister?”
Xie Fei was startled, not expecting the topic to come back to this.
He chuckled awkwardly and vaguely said, “This… maybe.
“Who knows what will happen in the future? Right?”
“Yes, that’s true.” Liu Su didn’t continue to ask.
Soon, the two of them arrived in the Pavilion.
Xie Fei carefully placed Liu Su on a soft couch covered with a Spirit Silkworm Silk Quilt.
Several Spirit Lamps were lit beside the couch, emitting a soft light, making the Room warm and quiet.
“Alright, get some rest.”
Xie Fei stepped back, trying to keep his tone calm, “I’ll go first.”
He didn’t dare to stay longer, leaving a sentence and turning around quickly, escaping from the Pavilion.
He didn’t even greet Kang Jian and others who were still enjoying themselves.
He ran straight out of the Jade Bath and into the bustling streets of Huayang City.
Standing on the busy street.
Xie Fei looked back nervously, confirming that Liu Su hadn’t followed, before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
He didn’t know why he was so nervous.
Perhaps it was because of Liu Su’s Identity.
Perhaps it was her unusual behavior today…
In short.
He only felt his heart beating fast, not knowing how to suppress it.
“Xie Fei?”
At that moment, a surprised call came from the crowd.
Xie Fei turned his head.
He saw Liu Ying with the Ninth Shujun and a group of Female Elders standing opposite.
Most of those Female Elders were newly promoted in recent years.
Therefore, seeing him, they bowed together and said in unison, “Greetings, Elder Xie.”
Xie Fei smiled and responded one by one, but his gaze fell on Liu Ying, and he said in surprise, “Why are you here?”
Liu Ying rolled her eyes and said angrily, “Didn’t the Sect requisition the Elder’s Residence, and everyone has nowhere to live?
“So I brought them to Huayang City to rent a Large Courtyard to temporarily stay.”
“Rent a courtyard? Such a good thing and you didn’t call me?” Xie Fei blurted out.
If Liu Ying, the Managing person, came out to rent a courtyard, it must be the Sect giving Spirit Stones.
This kind of “Public Funds Consumption” opportunity is rare in the Everflow Sword Sect.
Hearing this, Liu Ying said angrily again, “We’re all female Cultivators, even if I called, would you have the nerve to join?”
Anyway, as soon as she saw Xie Fei, she inexplicably got angry.
Xie Fei was speechless, and chuckled awkwardly, “Uh… I really wouldn’t.”
He scratched his head, thinking to himself: Liu Ying, this Woman, I don’t seem to have offended her recently, right?
Xie Fei then looked at the Ninth Shujun, raised his eyebrows and asked, “Weren’t you restricted from going out by the Sixth Floor Elders?
“How did you get out?”
The Ninth Shujun laughed like a little fox that had stolen fish, proudly saying, “Elder Sister Liu Ying vouched for me!
“Hee hee, this is my first time in Huayang City, and I’ve always wanted to see the lively Mortal World!”
As she spoke, her gaze looked around, her eyes full of curiosity about the prosperous scene of Huayang City.
For the Ninth Shujun, who had been trapped on the Sixth Floor of Sword Pavilion for many years.
Everything was so fresh and interesting.
“By the way, Xie An, we’re going to the restaurant for dinner, do you want to join us?”
The Ninth Shujun suddenly thought of something, turned to Xie Fei and winked, and asked with a smile.
“Yes, Elder Xie, let’s go together!”
Other Female Elders also echoed, with a hint of hope in their eyes.
On the Third Floor of Sword Pavilion, compared to other slightly “abnormal” Male Elders.
Xie Fei was the most normal one.
And he looked pretty good too.
Therefore, some Female Elders had a good impression of him.
“Okay, let’s go together.”
Xie Fei didn’t mind and readily agreed.
Because the Everflow Sword Sect is not very wealthy, the monthly stipend of Spirit Stones is also relatively small.
Therefore, many Elders haven’t been down the mountain, let alone tasted the mortal delicacies.
Basically, from the time they entered the mountain, they have been staying on the mountain.
As for Kang Jian, Huang Yong and those people, how come they are so “rich”.
That’s because their families are not simple, they are wealthy Noble Families in the Secular world.
……
A large group of people walked towards the most famous “Inn of Everything” in Huayang City.
This Inn is the top restaurant in the city, with ornate architecture and extraordinary grandeur.
The private rooms on the third floor and above are specially prepared for Cultivators, with Soundproof Formations and quiet environments.
Everyone went up to the third floor.
After settling down, the Shopkeeper personally greeted them, serving various delicious dishes like flowing water.
And there were many jars of Clear Wine opened, emitting an enticing aroma.
After the dishes were served.
After the wine was poured.
After five flavors, three rounds.
Everyone had a good time.
Xie Fei also threw Liu Su’s matter to the back of his mind.
The Private Room was filled with laughter and lively Atmosphere.
Female Elders are usually more restrained because of the Sect’s Rules.
At this moment, they rarely relaxed, and their conversations were more lively than ordinary women.
The Ninth Shujun was even more excited, raising her cup frequently, her cheeks flushed with a faint blush.
“This wine is not as good as my family’s, but I haven’t tasted alcohol in so many years, it’s really satisfying!”
The Ninth Shujun held up her empty cup, said with unsatisfied, “There’s too little wine!
“I’ll go find the Shopkeeper to get a few more jars!”
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Liu Ying waved her hand and smiled, “Go, go.”
Xie Fei, however, was slightly startled, his gaze sweeping towards the outside of the Private Room.
“Hmm? Someone’s coming?”
He sensed a somewhat familiar Aura approaching.
It wasn’t a waiter from the Inn of Everything, but a Cultivator of unknown Cultivation.
He was still wondering.
When he heard the Ninth Shujun, who had gone out, suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
The Third Floor Elders of Sword Pavilion in the Private Room were all startled and immediately stood up and ran over.
Although they had only interacted for a short time, these Female Elders liked the straightforward Ninth Shujun very much.
“What’s going on?”
Xie Fei, being close, was the first to rush out of the Private Room.
But when he looked closely, he was stunned.
Appearing before him was a Woman in a yellow gauze dress.
Xie Fei’s pupils constricted slightly: “It’s you!”
This person was none other than the one who had fallen from the sky onto him that day.
The Ninth Shujun seemed to have also exclaimed because she saw this Woman.
At this moment.
The Ninth Shujun came to her senses and immediately grabbed Xie Fei’s arm, standing side-by-side with him.
Her voice trembled slightly, yet she forced herself to remain calm, “This is my… beloved Dao Companion!”
Xie Fei: “???”
Xie Fei was stunned, turned to look at the Ninth Shujun, his eyes full of Doubt.
At this time.
Liu Ying and the others also came.
“Little Nine, who is this?”
Obviously, the Ninth Shujun knew this Woman.
But before the Ninth Shujun could introduce her.
The Woman in yellow gauze smiled gently and said proactively, “I presume you are all friends of Shujun.
“Fellow Daoists, I am Shujun’s Elder Sister, Ninth Yang.”
Her demeanor was gentle and refined, her voice as clear as a spring, with an innate elegant Demeanor.
Upon hearing this, everyone showed surprise, including Xie Fei and Liu Ying.
“You’re Little Nine’s Elder Sister?”
Liu Ying looked up and down at Ninth Yang, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes, “Upon closer inspection, you two sisters do have similar eyebrows and eyes.
“But your Bearing is quite different.”
Speaking.
She invited, “Since you’re Little Nine’s Elder Sister, we’re having dinner, why don’t you join us?”
“I’d like to, but…”
Ninth Yang looked at the Ninth Shujun.
The latter jumped up like a frightened cat and immediately hid behind Xie Fei.
Ninth Yang waved her hand and smiled slightly, “Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoists, but I have urgent business to attend to and am afraid I cannot disturb you.
“Next time, next time, I will definitely.”
Speaking.
Her gaze swept over everyone, finally pausing slightly on Xie Fei.
“I won’t disturb you Fellow Daoists any longer.
“My silly little sister has a flighty nature and is probably throwing a tantrum again.
“Please take good care of her, Fellow Daoists, I thank you in advance.”
After saying this, Ninth Yang went downstairs.
Looking at her back.
Xie Fei narrowed his eyes.
Ninth Yang clearly came on purpose, but suddenly said she had something to leave.
And her Cultivation…
It’s actually Grotto-Heaven Realm, who has comprehended spatial changes!
After seeing Ninth Yang off, Liu Ying couldn’t help but sigh, “Little Nine, you should learn from your Elder Sister.
“Look at your Elder Sister’s elegant Posture, she’s like a Princess.”
Hearing this, the Ninth Shujun glared fiercely at Liu Ying and hummed, “If you think she’s good, then go be her Younger Sister!
“I don’t want to!”
Liu Ying was startled and said in surprise, “What’s wrong with you? Your Elder Sister looks gentle and generous, what’s wrong with her?
“Why do you get all worked up when you mention her? Did she bully you when you were little?”
The Ninth Shujun sighed, a complex Emotion flashing in her eyes, waving her hand, “Alas… it’s a long story!
“I don’t want to talk about it!”
Seeing this, Xie Fei smiled and said, “If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t.
“Come, come, let’s go back to the Private Room and continue! The food and drinks will get cold if we waste them.”
Hearing “delicious food”.
The Ninth Shujun’s eyes lit up, and she immediately regained her spirits, clapping her hands and saying, “Right! Eating! I’m going to get the wine!”
Saying this, she rushed downstairs excitedly.
But after taking only two steps, she ran back “bang bang bang”.
Then she grabbed Xie Fei’s arm, “Xie An, will you accompany me?”
Xie Fei: “…”
But seeing a trace of imperceptible plea in her eyes, he nodded, “Alright.”
After the two of them went downstairs.
Several Female Elders couldn’t help but discuss, “Why does it feel like Little Nine is particularly afraid of encountering her Elder Sister?”
“Yeah, yeah, calling Elder Xie is probably also worried that her Elder Sister won’t leave.”
“I wonder what’s going on with these sisters.”
Liu Ying interrupted the discussion behind her, “Don’t meddle in other people’s family affairs.
“Let’s go, back to the Private Room, continue!”
Everyone responded and returned to the Private Room one after another.
……
On the stairs.
The Ninth Shujun slowed down, her expression conflicted, hesitating several times.
Xie Fei glanced at her and said casually, “Speak, what were you holding back just now?
“No one’s around now, just say what’s on your mind.”
The Ninth Shujun bit her lip, as if making up her mind, and whispered, “Xie An, can you do me a favor?”
“What favor?”
“Help me track my Elder Sister and see if she has a Dao Companion now.” The Ninth Shujun took a deep breath.
“Huh?!”
Xie Fei stopped, almost losing his footing, “Track your Elder Sister?
“And check if she has a Dao Companion? What are you trying to do?”
“Oh, don’t worry about that first.” The Ninth Shujun shook Xie Fei’s arm.
“Please! This is really important to me!
“If it works out, I’ll give you a very big gift, it will definitely satisfy you!”
Xie Fei rolled his eyes, completely uninterested in the so-called “big gift”.
He was about to refuse, but he saw that the Ninth Shujun’s eyes were starting to turn red.
Seeing her so anxious,
Xie Fei couldn’t help but soften his heart and sighed, “What kind of grievance do you have with your Elder Sister?
“After it’s done, you have to tell me properly.”
“It’s a deal!” The Ninth Shujun immediately clapped her hands.
Xie Fei rubbed his temples, weighing things in his heart.
Although tracking a Grotto-Heaven Realm Cultivator is extremely risky.
But if combined with some special Formations, plus the concealment technique, it’s not impossible.
Furthermore, Ninth Yang’s appearance also made him suspicious.
That day she fell from the Void…
Was it intentional?
