Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 294 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick
Chu Qiaoqiao did not notice any strange coincidences.

Feng Mo, who usually disappeared, happened to return to Crescent City today and arrived as soon as she was poisoned.

Yuan Duoqing came with him, but apart from these two people, there were no other disciples of the Zhengqi Sect.

It just left them a quiet space.

Chu Qiaoqiao looked at Yuan Duoqing's slightly unfamiliar face and suddenly felt that this "childhood sweetheart" had changed a lot, but she had been deliberately ignoring him and had not noticed it.

This made her feel a little guilty, and she felt that she shouldn't test people's hearts in this way.

At this time, Yuan Duoqing also felt that he had overacted, and thought that winning the heart of his junior sister in this way was not really fair.

Everyone here is in the play, and everyone has different thoughts.

Only Feng Mo remained expressionless and calm.

He just silently thought that if one day his beloved woman fell into the same situation, would he risk his life to save her?

Zhuque took out a poisonous insect and handed it to Yuan Duoqing, saying, "Take this little insect, it will suck your heart blood dry and turn into a red blood silkworm that can save Qiaoqiao."

Yuan Duoqing's face was filled with grief and solemnity, "Don't tell my junior sister about this after I die..."

Just as he was about to eat the bug in one gulp, Chu Qiaoqiao suddenly couldn't stand it anymore. She suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted, "Enough!"

Feng Mo raised his eyebrows and left the place instantly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhuque followed closely behind. When leaving, he did not forget to retrieve the poisonous insect and helped the two of them close the door.

With her personality, she naturally would not leave easily, but stayed at the door and eavesdropped.

Chu Qiaoqiao's tone was unkind, and she could hardly hide her disappointment. "I deliberately lied to you and Senior Brother. I'm in good health and I didn't take any 'Tonggui Pills' at all."

Yuan Duoqing thought that he hadn't finished acting yet, so why did Junior Sister Qiaoqiao "explode"? This made him a little conflicted. Now that things had come to this, he didn't know whether he should continue acting.

He was just thinking about it when he accidentally met Qiaoqiao's eyes. He immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to deceive her, and all the corny lines he had prepared in advance were stuck in his mouth.

Chu Qiaoqiao sighed, "They say a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man. I thought the same principle would apply in reverse, but I didn't expect it to cause so much trouble for Senior Brother."

Yuan Duoqing said guiltily: "Maybe he doesn't bother you that much."

"How could he not be annoyed with me? He already said he had a girl he liked, and I still relied on my status as his junior sister to keep pestering him."

"Well... after all, we grew up together. It's impossible for Senior Brother not to like you. It's just that it's not a romantic relationship."

The more Chu Qiaoqiao thought about it, the sadder she became. She shed two lines of tears unconsciously, then buried her face in her knees and said no more.

Yuan Duoqing didn't know what to do. After a long silence, he managed to say, "Well... I think that statement might actually be correct, but it can't be used the other way around."

"What did you say?!" Chu Qiaoqiao said unhappily.

"A virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man."

"...Don't you have countless sisters in your heart? And you still say that you are a playboy and amorous, and are destined not to be faithful to one person."

"I said all that on purpose to piss you off. I find that every time I say that, you'll say a few more words to me."

"I was scolding you."

"As long as you pay attention to me, it's okay to scold me."

When Chu Qiaoqiao heard this confession, her empty heart was suddenly filled again. Besides being a little touched, she felt more guilty.

She secretly sized up Yuan Duoqing, thinking how she couldn't help but feel fond of him, considering they'd been childhood sweethearts. It was just that he was so rambling and kept saying those dirty things, which made her dislike him even more.

Yuan Duoqing lowered his head, feeling guilty and regretful that he hadn't set up a trap to test her. He also wondered if today's events weren't just a play, but a true moment of separation, would he still be willing to sacrifice his own life in exchange for the other person's survival?

The answer has actually been written in my heart a long time ago: yes.

The young people are very awkward when it comes to matters between men and women. They are really a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.

It’s better to be as straightforward as the Demon Sect.

Outside the door, Zhuque was eavesdropping and peeking. Anyway, the other disciples had been sent away by Feng Mo in advance, so no one would come to disturb them at this time.

She thought that since the plan had been successful, and seeing that the two people inside were being awkward, she didn't know how long they would continue to be entangled, so it would be better to withdraw.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qiaoqiao in the room suddenly stopped worrying about Yuan Duoqing's confession and said, "Forget it, from now on I will never bother you again."

This is exactly what Yuan Duoqing wanted to hear. A smile immediately appeared on her face. "Then I won't mess around with other women anymore."

"You'd better remember your words. If you weren't from the Righteous Qi Sect, your behavior of seeking out people for dual cultivation... would have long been mistaken for a Demon Sect member and chopped down with a sword!"

Chu Qiaoqiao glared at the other person, didn't say anything harsh, and didn't refuse either, which meant she reluctantly accepted Yuan Duoqing.

The girl's emotions were complicated, and in fact, even she herself couldn't figure it out. Was her feeling for Feng Mo a love story between a man and a woman, or was she just used to her senior brother always pampering her, so she clung to him and didn't want to be separated from him?

I especially don’t want to see him being “taken away” by other women.

Thinking of this, she sighed, "It's a pity that Senior Brother and his sweetheart are destined to be separated."

Yuan Duoqing was immediately surprised when he heard this: "What? Senior Brother really has a sweetheart?"

"What do you mean by that!"

"I, I always thought he was lying to you, so he deliberately said he had a lover."

Chu Qiaoqiao: "He probably really wanted to use this sentence to persuade me to give up the idea, but as a woman, my intuition tells me... he is not lying, but really has someone in his heart."

Yuan Duoqing: "This is not right. With Big Brother's personality, if he really has a crush on someone, why not just say it directly? Why is he hiding it?"

"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"

Chu Qiaoqiao stared at Yuan Duoqing and read it over and over again twice, making sure that this stupid guy really didn't understand.

So she didn't want to say more and simply skipped the topic.

It’s best not to let Yuan Duoqing know about that kind of thing, so that it won’t leak out one day and cause a huge trouble for my senior brother.

……

Little did she know that these words also fell into Zhuque's ears. After hearing them, she hurried back to Linlang Pavilion and told Yun Yi this "important news".

Yun Yi was a little surprised, but not too much. "I thought Feng Mo was hiding something, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Zhuque said anxiously, "Then who do you think Feng Mo likes? If we can crack this secret, wouldn't that mean we've caught him?"

"There's no need to go to such lengths. Just make a good relationship with him."

"Tsk, you finally started to act in a demonic style, how come you suddenly became decent again?"

Yun Yi said meaningfully, "A gentleman can be deceived, but it must be done in moderation."

"No, if I can't figure this out, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"The answer is actually not difficult. Feng Mo didn't say it because he couldn't. He fell in love with a woman who couldn't be made public."
