Chapter 2691: Battle Plan
Pei Mianman was shocked beyond words. Sister, are you really into being cuckolded?
Chu Chuyan embarrassedly explained, “Desperate situations call for desperate measures. I've thought hard, but I couldn’t find a way to unravel the knot in my master’s heart. One day, it occurred to me that my master’s biggest fear is Sect Master Yun. If Sect Master Yun were in the same plight, neither of them could mock the other. That would resolve the issue.”
Pei Mianman took in a deep breath. “Chuyan, I want to ask you a question, but I hope you won’t get angry.”
“What is it?”
“Are you helping your master, or do you want Honglei to experience having her man be snatched by her master too?”
Chu Chuyan’s expression stiffened. It was a long while before she exhaled. “I wouldn’t have realized it if you hadn’t mentioned it. I might really have harbored such a thought subconsciously. Honglei and I are the representative disciples of our respective factions, and we've been competing for the longest time. I never expected that notion to be so deeply embedded within me that I wasn’t even aware of it.”
Indeed. If this matter were to be revealed, my master and I wouldn’t be able to face anyone. Qiu Honglei and I were the top disciples of our respective factions, and there's never been a victor between us. The thought of losing to her here makes me feel uncomfortable.
Chu Chuyan’s frank confession left Pei Mianman at a loss for words. A long time later, she exhaled deeply and said, “I didn’t think you would harbor the same thought as them. It feels like the so-called 'Holy Maiden' and 'Demoness' titles are just a difference in faction.”
Chu Chuyan smiled. “Human hearts are complicated. How can it be easy for a mind to become truly unshakable?”
“But how can I help you with that?” Pei Mianman felt extremely awkward. The person she had to matchmake here was her lover!
“I would have done it myself if I could leave this place.” Chu Chuyan looked at her nearly transparent body in misery.
Pei Mianman’s heart shuddered. She has to remain here for a thousand years. That can’t be easy. The least I can do is to help her with her request... It was still awkward, but she figured she ought to do something for Chu Chuyan. “I can help you, but this is unfair to Sect Master Yun. I feel like I’m corrupting a virtuous maiden.”
