Chapter 556 - 279: From Hater to Fan, Automatic Plug-in
"Senior sister?"
Yan Wushuang stepped out of his secluded meditation chamber and noticed the courtyard was silent and empty. He glanced at Xie Qingxue’s door, which was open, and remembered the strange atmosphere between Zheng Fa and Xie Qingxue earlier. Concern arose in his heart.
He could also tell that Xie Qingxue’s attitude towards Zheng Fa over the past few days was puzzling—
On one hand, she seemed very concerned about Zheng Fa, constantly reminding him to keep things secret.
On the other hand, whenever Zheng Fa was mentioned, she spoke with anger, indicating something unpleasant had happened between them.
Recalling the attacks on his senior sister on the forum, Yan Wushuang became even more certain that his senior sister had been wronged in the Jiushan Realm more than once. She was probably very dissatisfied with Zheng Fa now—it appeared he had seized some secret of hers...
He had been taught by his senior sister from a young age, but he also had deep feelings for Zheng Fa. Now, he felt a sense of duty to mediate between the two, to prevent any future grudges.
With this in mind, Yan Wushuang walked to the door of Xie Qingxue’s room. Peeking inside, he found the place quiet, as if no one was there, but Xie Qingxue was sitting on the tatami, holding a thin book in her hands.
She was absorbed in the book, her facial expressions changing frequently:
Sometimes there was a flash of realization, as if she was moved by a line in the book.
Then she would furrow her brows, as though she encountered some difficulty.
More often, she was deep in thought, lost somewhere unknown.
