"Second Senior Sister, are you there? Eldest Senior Sister and I have come to see you."

"Second Senior Sister, are you asleep?"

Outside the door, junior sister Shi Xiaoman and senior sister Zhong Shuyun came to visit Lin Xi at night.

"Strange, there's no sound from the room?"

"But there's Second Senior Sister's scent inside."

Shi Xiaoman looked into the room with a suspicious gaze, as if she wanted to use her divine sense to investigate.

"Junior Sister, isn't this a bad thing for us? After all, Second Junior Sister needs to rest, and we shouldn't disturb her."

Zhong Shuyun hesitated for a moment, then said.

Shi Xiaoman's eyes were firm. "Senior Sister, we're concerned about Second Senior Sister's situation; we have to be responsible for her."

"We have to remember that the martial arts competition is tomorrow. If this rumors continue to spread, it could very well damage Second Senior Sister's reputation!"

"We absolutely have to find out the answer today."

Chung Shu-yun had no choice but to accept this outcome.

Click.

Just then, the door in front of them clicked open.

Lin Xi's calm voice came through.

"Senior Sister and Junior Sister? What brings you here in the middle of the night?"

"Come in and talk."

Shi Xiaoman's expression brightened; her second senior sister was indeed there.

She immediately lifted her dress and walked into the room.

When they entered the bedroom, they saw Lin Xi curled up on the bed. She was dressed in a charming purple dress, graceful and elegant, her beautiful figure partially revealed, and she was absolutely stunning.

An inescapable chill lingered between her dark brows.

But at this moment, the beauty spoke eloquently, her eyes were rather hazy, and her stunning face was flushed with a blush, making her look weak and delicate.

She is incredibly charming; a single glance from her is enough to make countless men's blood boil.

Shi Xiaoman was stunned. Her eyes widened. It was the first time she had ever seen Lin Xi like this.

The usually quiet and aloof second senior sister had become so bewildered and haggard.

She looked like a celestial maiden who had fallen into prostitution, possessing desires, appearing broken, even pitiful.

"Second Senior Sister, are you... are you alright?"

"What's wrong with you?!"

While Shi Xiaoman was still stunned, Zhong Shuyun had already come to the bedside immediately.

She immediately grasped Lin Xi's wrist and began to take her pulse.

Before long, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"His breathing was disordered, his meridians were unstable, and his magical power even experienced an unprecedented period of dormancy."

"And your magical power has improved so much?!"

"Second Junior Sister, what on earth is going on?!"

This was the first time she had ever seen such a strange pulse.

It was said to be poisoning, but no toxins were found.

It was described as an injury, but there was no damage whatsoever.

It was said that there had been a mishap in his cultivation, but his magical power did not surge; instead, it subsided.

At the same time, the second junior sister's magic power seemed to have changed drastically; it was no longer the Ice Soul Magic Power she had before.

When he sensed her magical power, his own lunar power was actually being suppressed by her!

Second Junior Sister has actually broken through to the King-Sealing Realm?!

No, Second Junior Sister also possesses another kind of extremely powerful and yang magic power!

Could it be...?

Could it be...?

Was a man in my second junior sister's room?

And during that time, did you engage in dual cultivation with him?

So that's why my second junior sister looks so weak?!

No, it's impossible.

There are powerful restrictions on Shuiyue Peak, and even a master is there.

How could a man possibly sneak into Second Sister's room in the middle of the night?

"......."

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. "Nothing's wrong, Senior Sister. I just accidentally encountered a problem while switching cultivation techniques. I just need to rest for a while and I'll be fine."

Zhong Shuyun quietly scanned her surroundings with her divine sense.

They found nothing.

Her icy blue eyes fell into deep thought.

"Second Senior Sister, are you really alright?"

Shi Xiaoman also rushed to the bedside, even though it was inconvenient to see Lin Xi's condition clearly, she still wanted to get on the bed.

"It's alright, junior sister, I just need to rest," Lin Xi said with a wry smile.

Shi Xiaoman looked at Zhong Shuyun, who nodded slightly.

"Indeed, Second Junior Sister is not seriously injured, Junior Sister, don't worry."

"It's alright, it's alright." Shi Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, she sniffed with her little nose and seemed to detect a scent.

Her pupils dilated instantly.

She climbed onto Lin Xi and began to sniff her closely.

"Junior Sister, what are you doing?"

Lin Xi felt a little awkward after Shi Xiaoman's actions.

Something's not right! Nine out of ten things are wrong!

"Second Senior Sister, you smell like a man!"

"And it's very strong!"

"What's going on? Did some sleazy guy take advantage of you, Second Senior Sister?!"

At this point, Shi Xiaoman's eyes turned bloodshot as she spoke angrily.

This is her second senior sister, the white-haired sword immortal of the sect!

Even she was too embarrassed to go up and take a sip. She could only secretly take advantage of others in the meantime, but now a certain man has benefited from it!

She definitely didn't smell wrong!

She has a naturally keen sense of smell.

There's definitely a man there!

Damn it!

Who is it?!

Upon hearing Shi Xiaoman's words, Lin Xi was momentarily stunned; she had forgotten her junior sister's talent in the sense of smell.

He could only force a calm expression and ask:

"Junior sister, what are you saying? You must have smelled something wrong. There's no man here!"

"No, Second Senior Sister, you're lying! You definitely smell like a man!"

"Waaah~~ My second senior sister doesn't like me anymore, she's started looking for other men now."

"No wonder my second senior sister hasn't come to visit me these past few days."

"Senior Sister, I'm so sad!!"

Shi Xiaoman picked up the bedding and started crying.

She originally wanted to roll around, but when she saw Lin Xi still lying there, she could only look up at the sky and cry bitterly.

"......"

"......"

Chung Shu-yun was having trouble keeping up with Shih Hsiao-man's train of thought.

But she was naturally cautious about Lin Xi's matter.

"Second Junior Sister, actually, Senior Sister also sensed an extremely powerful and yang magic force within you."

"This is not something that the disciples or even the elders of Shuiyue Peak possess."

"Look, look!!"

"Second Junior Sister, we've come here to ask about your love life. Rumors are circulating within the sect that you're getting very close to a disciple from Zidan Peak, and there have even been intimate scenes of you embracing."

"Of course, most people don't believe such rumors, and the news hasn't even spread that far yet."

"But just today, my junior sister and I happened to see you walking side by side with a disciple from Zidan Peak, and you even seemed to be having a pleasant conversation..."

"We'd like to know if that disciple from Zidan Peak is related to your current situation?"

Are the rumors circulating within the sect about you true?

"Don't blame your senior sister for meddling. After all, you are my junior sister, and I have to take care of you."

"At the same time, if this matter reaches Master, it could affect both you and the disciple of Zidan Peak."

Zhong Shuyun didn't believe that a disciple of Zidan Peak could bypass the restrictions of Shuiyue Peak in the middle of the night and sneak into her second junior sister's room without her master noticing.

But the condition of the second junior sister is definitely related to that person.

Nine times out of ten, the rumors within the sect are true.
