Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

Unconvinced, she went to the window again and just then saw the woman inside slowly raise her head.

It was a breathtakingly beautiful face, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn waters.

Even with her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkling with spring, her unique aloofness had not completely faded away.

boom--

Wen Lingxi's mind exploded again, and her beliefs completely collapsed.

That's not Master... who else could it be?

She opened her mouth, trying to shout, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound.

Her entire body trembled violently and uncontrollably, and the icy blue longsword in her fingers almost slipped from her grasp.

She really couldn't understand what had happened during the two years she had been in seclusion.

How could her idol, the decisive and efficient master, be transformed into this crazy person who would make even prostitutes feel ashamed?

As the Holy Maiden of the Guanghan Immortal Palace and the successor to the next Palace Master, she knew her master's temperament all too well.

People call Master "Qingzhou Social Flower," saying that she flirts with all sorts of men and is promiscuous.

But only Wen Lingxi knew that it was all out of her master's helplessness—in order to obtain resources for the sect and to gather information from all sides, her master had to endure humiliation and pretend to be a playboy.

The real master is reserved, composed, aloof, and doting on his younger sister; he values ​​his reputation highly.

At this moment, Wen Lingxi was completely bewildered.

Is submitting to Master Xu also part of enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens?

Even if it really is about compromising, there's no need... no need to make such a fuss...

Waaaaah~~

So embarrassing!

How will she view her master and Grandpa Xu in the future?

Just as Wen Lingxi was feeling agitated and at a loss, the sound of Meng Anran and Xu Pingsheng talking came from the room again, intermittent but every word clearly piercing her ears:

"Xu Pingsheng... ahh—promise me, you won't... hehe... you won't covet Yuxuan anymore... oh hehe..."

What?!

Wen Lingxi's pupils constricted again suddenly, as if struck by a heavy blow, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze at that moment.

Grandpa Xu wasn't satisfied with having a master, so he even had his eye on the Third Palace Master, Aunt Yu Xuan.

What merit does he possess?

Although she didn't know what methods Xu Pingsheng had used to win over his master, he must have had extraordinary means to make his master look like this.

The Third Palace Master is simple-minded and carefree, a bit silly and without much scheming. Faced with Xu Pingsheng's schemes, wouldn't she be able to easily defeat him?

No! She absolutely cannot let this terrible thing happen!

Although the Third Palace Master is nominally her senior uncle, the two are very compatible and have long been as close as best friends.

How could she stand by and watch her best friend fall into this lecherous thief's den and repeat the same mistake her master made?

At this moment, Xu Pingsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he replied in a cheeky manner:

"Hehe~~ If you don't want me to lay a hand on Yuxuan, then what will you compensate me with? How about... that girl Wen Lingxi..."

What?!

Wen Lingxi could no longer hear what was said after that.

She felt her head buzzing, as if countless bees were swarming inside, and she was about to be overwhelmed by the continuous impact.

Grandpa Xu... Grandpa Xu still cares about her?

No wonder!

No wonder he sneaked into her bedroom and stole her personal clothing!

It turns out he had ill intentions from the very beginning!

Waaaaah~~

What should she do?

Will Master grant Xu Pingsheng's request in order to protect the Third Palace Master?

But then another problem arises: even if her master doesn't agree, can she really stay out of it?

Whether it was to protect the Third Palace Master's innocence, to repay the Master's kindness in raising her, or to protect herself...

It seems she only has one path to take.

Waaaaah~~

Suddenly, Wen Lingxi's delicate body trembled, as if she had thought of something crucial. Her whole body began to tremble violently, and tears instantly blurred her vision.

Blame her!

It was her... who let the wolf into the house!

At first, Xu Pingsheng boldly confessed his feelings to her at the Xu family home, and then traveled thousands of miles to the Guanghan Immortal Palace. All of this was for her.

If she had agreed to his request back in the Xu family, or simply executed him, perhaps things wouldn't be like this today.

That lofty and aloof master would not stoop to the mortal realm...

It's my own fault...

She ruined her master's life, destroyed the reputation of the Guanghan Immortal Palace, and is even about to ruin the life of the Third Palace Master...

Thinking of this, Wen Lingxi could no longer suppress her regret and despair. Tears streamed down her face, and she collapsed to the ground.

If she could do it all over again, back in the Xu family, even if it meant giving herself away for nothing, she would never have let things develop to this point!

Do not!

If she could do it all over again, she would definitely kill Xu Pingsheng without hesitation!

But now, the mistake has been made, it's too late, and there's no going back.

The one who tied the knot must untie it; will she ultimately be the one to bring this whole mess to a close?

But... how should this be ended?

Kill Xu Pingsheng?

Judging from Master's appearance just now, he clearly seemed to be enjoying himself very much and was very happy.

If she kills Xu Pingsheng, will her master forgive her?

Is the only option to sacrifice oneself to the tiger...?

Wen Lingxi used all her strength to slowly stand up, and once again looked through the small hole in the window paper at her master who was still lost in despair inside the room. Her eyes were extremely complicated.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the myriad emotions in her heart, and turned around in a daze, walking towards the forbidden area in the back mountain.

The moonlight remained hazy that night.

But Wen Lingxi's world has been turned upside down, destined to be sleepless.

...............

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day.

As the morning light just began to spill over the mountain peaks of the Moon Palace, Meng Yuxuan's clear yet urgent shouts rang out from outside the servants' quarters:

"Old Xu! Old Xu, get up quickly! If you dawdle any longer, you'll miss Aunt Mu's wedding!"

Holy crap!

Holy crap!

The two people on the bed sat up almost simultaneously, their faces turning deathly pale.

Oops!

Two nights of indulgence, even the changing of day and night were forgotten!

Meng Anran reacted with lightning speed, grabbing the battle robe scattered on the ground and almost using both hands and feet to dart under the bed. Her spiritual energy instantly receded completely, and even her breathing became a barely perceptible wisp.

Xu Pingsheng's movements were so skillful that they were outrageous. He crawled under the bed almost simultaneously with Meng Anran, and the whole set of movements was so smooth that there was not a trace of hesitation, as if they had practiced it a thousand times.

In the cramped space under the bed, two bodies suddenly pressed close together. Meng Anran felt the warm breath coming from beside her and was stunned.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

She quickly reminded them through gritted teeth in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"This is your room! What are you hiding? Get out!"
