Chapter 373 - 32: Shameless! Despicable!
The bright moon hangs in the sky, its light like water.
In a quaint and serene courtyard, two stunning beauties sit facing each other, one gentle, the other icy.
After a long pause, Ye Xiyue sneered, "Naturally, it’s a rumor. You know that Minglan’s lifelong wish is revenge. Didn’t the Third Princess of the West Imperial Dynasty trace us all the way to Xiyue Peak? Junior Sister has not returned, likely to avoid implicating the sect."
Wei Wan looked down at her teacup, somewhat worried, "So, the Third Junior Sister really killed the Eldest Prince of the West Imperial Dynasty? This could be quite troublesome."
"The Western Empress is a disciple of the Immortal Flying Pavilion, and naturally, the West Imperial Dynasty is backed by the Pavilion. Even if the Third Junior Sister killed for revenge, she shouldn’t have left any evidence for them."
Ye Xiyue spoke coldly, pausing, then looked at Wei Wan:
"If the Third Junior Sister has already been captured by the West Imperial Dynasty, what do you plan to do?"
Wei Wan remained silent for a moment, took a sip from her teacup, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"The tea has cooled."
"Yes, the tea has cooled, it’s time to rest."
Ye Xiyue stood up, her figure flashing, disappearing into the darkness.
Wei Wan sat quietly, raising her head to look at the bright moon in the sky, as if nothing had happened.
After leaving Wei Wan’s courtyard, Ye Xiyue encountered a few Inner Sect steward disciples who saluted her. She coolly nodded in return.
After walking for a while, she moved swiftly across the mountain where the Inner Sect disciples resided, heading towards the Red Moon Peak where the Outer Sect disciples lived. She quietly slipped into a male disciple’s room.
This was Mo Xiaolan’s residence. Mo Xiaolan, Liu Su, and Yun Wu were all present.
Suddenly, the coldness on Ye Xiyue’s face faded, replaced by a charming and seductive demeanor. She gracefully walked to the three of them, saying coquettishly:
"Second Mistress, Third Mistress, Fifth Mistress, I went to test Wei Wan as you instructed. How do you plan to reward me?"
The three were accustomed to her behavior. Mo Xiaolan asked, "How did it go?"
Jian Yue shrugged, "I can’t tell. Wei Wan is too good at pretending."
She blinked and suddenly said, "How about the Master gives me another Soul-devouring Pill? I’ll make Wei Wan become the Master’s servant too, hahaha, I’m curious to see how Wei Wan looks when she’s debased!"
Liu Su snorted, "Wei Wan isn’t like you with a Demon Embryo; the Soul-devouring Pill only turns you into such a disgrace."
Jian Yue bowed gracefully, "Thank you, Second Mistress, for the compliment."
"..."
The three were speechless.
Knock knock.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Mo Xiaolan quickly changed to a male voice, "Who is it?"
"Open the door, I have something to ask you!"
It was Wu Yiren’s voice. Mo Xiaolan was taken aback, and so were Liu Su and Yun Wu.
Jian Yue silently laughed and pulled Liu Su and Yun Wu to hide in the wardrobe nearby.
The wardrobe was quite large, and the three women, being slim, fit in just fine.
After the three hid, Mo Xiaolan went to open the door, only to see Wu Yiren standing outside, face full of anger. Mo Xiaolan bowed and said:
"Junior Sister Wu, what brings you here so late?"
Wu Yiren walked straight into the room, with Mo Xiaolan quickly shutting the door, standing in front of the wardrobe once more to block it, asking again:
"Junior Sister Wu, what exactly do you want?"
Wu Yiren ignored his subtle actions, snorting coldly, "You won against me yesterday, you must be pleased with yourself?"
Mo Xiaolan was speechless, "Junior Sister Wu, did you come just to ask me that?"
Wu Yiren looked at her handsome face, raising her head:
"I’m asking you, I’ve never lost to the Golden Snake Guards in the palace. They’re mostly better than you, why did I lose to you? Did you cheat?"
Mo Xiaolan answered earnestly, "Junior Sister Wu, the Golden Snake Guards lost to you because they treat you as a princess. I won against you because I see you as a fellow sect sister."
Wu Yiren lowered her head, biting her lips, suddenly stomping her foot:
"I knew it! They’ve been going easy on me! I’m so angry, I will definitely punish them heavily when I return!"
Mo Xiaolan couldn’t understand the princess’s actions and urged:
"Now that you’ve asked your question, Princess, please leave."
Wu Yiren glared at him, "I haven’t finished, and you dare to chase me out?"
"..."
Mo Xiaolan nodded, with a smile, "You’re right, Junior Sister. But I need to bathe now. If Junior Sister wants to join me, I don’t mind."
"Lan Yin! How dare you! Aren’t you afraid of punishment from the princess?"
Wu Yiren was furious, and Mo Xiaolan calmly replied:
"Junior Sister, this is the Zhenyang Sect, only the Senior Sister Commander and the Peak Master can punish me."
"You!"
Wu Yiren raised her slender finger at him, but after a moment, did not get angry and pouted:
"I’m here to remind you, don’t speak of what you overheard last night. Si Minglan is the murderer of my elder royal brother and has been captured by us. If you leak this information, it will cost you your life!"
Ah!
Suddenly, there came a soft exclamation from the wardrobe.
Wu Yiren was stunned, pointing at the wardrobe, "Who’s there?!"
After a moment, the wardrobe opened, and two women were pushed out, Liu Su and Yun Wu.
Wu Yiren stared blankly at them, then at the elegant Mo Xiaolan, stomping her foot aggressively, "You, you shameless! You’re vile!"
Then she ran out.
Once she was gone, Mo Xiaolan helplessly shut the door, a charming laugh came from behind:
"Third Mistress, it seems you’ve caught yourself a romantic entanglement. What will the Master think of this if he finds out? Hahaha!"
Yun Wu rubbed her backside, annoyed, glaring at Jian Yue, "Why did you kick us just now?"
Jian Yue shrugged, "Well, Fifth Mistress, you made a noise, after all. It’s better for you to be discovered than me, the senior disciple, right?"
Yun Wu said aggrievedly, "I did it because I heard that Sister Si was caught!"
Liu Su had no mood for jokes anymore, her expression turning serious, "Is what that foolish princess said true? How could someone as cunning as Si Minglan be captured by the West Imperial Dynasty?"
Jian Yue laughed, "The Fourth Mistress has three children. If it were me, I’d certainly use the children to threaten her!"
The other two exchanged glances in silence.
"What should we do? I need to save Sister Si and Yun Xing and the others!"
Yun Wu was getting anxious; Si Minglan and the three children, Yun Xing, Yun Yan, and Yun Yu, were altogether. If Si Minglan was captured, the children might not fare well.
Liu Su said, "Xiaowu, don’t rush. We don’t even know where Si Minglan and the children have been taken, and the Outer Sect competition is coming soon, so Outer Sect disciples can’t leave the mountain now."
Jian Yue put her arm around Yun Wu’s shoulder, cooing, "Don’t worry, Fifth Mistress, Si Minglan is, after all, our Xiyue Peak’s Commanding Disciple. The West Imperial Dynasty wouldn’t dare kill her directly. They’ll surely bring her to the Zhenyang Sect, to prove in front of the Six Peaks elders that she’s guilty before dealing with her."
"You mean..."
Liu Su said, "Wait until Si Minglan is brought to the Zhenyang Sect, then we rescue her?"
Mo Xiaolan frowned, "By then, experts from both the West Imperial Dynasty and the Zhenyang Sect will be present. How do we save her?"
Jian Yue suddenly giggled, looking at Mo Xiaolan, her eyes flirtatious:
"The Third Mistress’s male appearance is truly captivating. If I were you, I’d definitely make use of this appearance!"
