As Fei Wan Yuhu's voice fell, the expression of Xiao Yin Ruo, who had been carefree and serene, underwent some changes. He looked at her with a slight cold snort towards the direction of Taichifeng: "No matter what you say, I will find you!"
Lu Jin'an curiously glanced at Xiao Yin Ruo, pondering what could have caused such an emotional upheaval in the master of Qingmiao Palace... What disputes had there been between the master and her?
Thinking about it, Xiao Yin Ruo struck the invitation card towards Lu Jin'an, and Lu Jin'an quickly reached out to catch it. As they saw Xiao Yin Ruo turned to speak to the vice-palace master and elders standing outside: "You all go and rest first."
Then he turned to Zhu Nanzhi: "Follow me."
"Not going!" Zhu Nanzhi looked at the master, thinking that it was not easy to meet with his husband, and he would not follow her now~
Unless my husband is going too.
Xiao Yin Ruo walked quickly to Zhu Nanzhi's front and asked, "Since he doesn't treat you like a daughter-in-law, why are you still on his side?"
Zhu Nanzhi looked at Lu Jin'an: "This is our agreement."
"..."
Xiao Yin Ruo took a deep breath and wondered, "What kind of 'cabbage' have I cultivated?"
Having learned everything from Hanyu, she naturally knew that Lu Jin'an and Nanzhi had never actually married and their "wedding" was merely a pretense. However, how could this pretended marriage turn this bright-eyed 'cabbage' outside the house?
Calming her emotions, she lowered her voice, "Follow your teacher to find Fei Wan Yu. Don't you want a proper status with Lu Jin'an?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Nanzhi's eyes lit up for a moment, but she suppressed her impulse after looking at Lu Jin'an.
Since parting ways with Nan Zhuo Yu after that, she had not yet cultivated her husband's feelings for her. Going straight to find her husband's master now would only increase his annoyance.
With such an advantage over her husband, how could she fall behind step by step just because of a single misstep?
Therefore, Zhu Nanzhi once again rejected Xiao Yin Ruo: "Master, the matters of our young generation will be handled by ourselves, and you don't need to worry about it..."
I know that Master is good for me, but only what I get is mine, right?”
"You..." Xiao Yin Ruo felt that she would sooner or later be driven mad by this apprentice. So she waved her sleeve and left in a huff: "As you wish, I won't interfere any further!"
The others in Qingmiao Palace, despite their curiosity about the connection between the Imperial Daughter and the eldest disciple of Wandao Sect, dared not ask anymore as they saw the palace master leave.
After all, the Saintess was raised by the palace master, and even if the master were to be angry with her, it could only be with a sense of helplessness. But as for them, the master was quite strict when it came to reprimanding.
Therefore, they had to leave the scene reluctantly under the hospitality of the elders of Wandao Sect... except for Nanzhi's personal maid Hanyu.
On the side, Zhao Shize couldn't help but elbows Geng Wuyaya, "Will Master Fei fight with Master Xiao for their respective apprentices? I really want to see it at Taichifeng."
Geng Wuyaya gave his younger disciple a sidelong glance: "Even if Master Fei and Master Xiao fight, the bit of pressure released could kill you instantly. Are you suicidal?"
"Also..." Zhao Shize hesitated in looking at Lu Jin'an: "It seems that the master brother was not actually in seclusion, but rather went out to practice and hide it from us..."
“Nonsense.” Guan Wen rolled her eyes at the third elder brother, and everyone present was no fool. They naturally could guess the cause and effect.
The master brother went out for his training and happened to meet the Saintess Zhu Nanzhi of Qingmiao Palace, who was refining her heart in the world of dust. They got married and spent more than a year together...
"The master brother has a wife already." Guan Wen muttered, "Why did he still marry Zhu Nanzhi?"
"The master brother is also a man..." Zhao Shize mumbled. Then he added: "Although it is true, given Master Brother's temper and strength, he should not have agreed to marry Zhu Nanzhi..."
"Yes," Guan Wen nodded: "Even if Zhu Nanzhi is refining her heart through romantic feelings and chose Master Brother, Master Brother wouldn't just follow her... It couldn't have been coercion, could it?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Geng Wuyaya chuckled: "Does she have the ability to coerce Master Brother?"
"Now, Zhu Nanzhi's cultivation is no match for Master Brother, and it was even worse a year ago. Master Brother couldn't possibly have been coerced. However, since this is the case..."
Guan Wen hesitated as she spoke, and Zhao Shize immediately took the opportunity to interject, "So it's that Master Brother has taken a fancy to her looks."
Guan Wen looked at Zhao Shize with disdain and said, "You think everyone is like you? There must be some reason."
Zhao Shize shrugged and said nothing. He just wanted to be a bystander. It's too interesting to see the argument over jealousy happen to the master brother who is focused on training for immortality.
At this moment, Geng Wuyaya chose his words carefully and whispered, "Is it that Sister Mu is at a disadvantage now?"
"Second Brother's ability to notice this is really impressive." Guan Wen smiled and quickly elbowed him: "He deserves praise."
Geng Wuyaya glared at her, just as she was about to speak, the fourth sister in law spoke in an even lower voice: "However, don't worry. Sister Mu hasn't lost yet."
"Really?" Zhao Shize leaned in and asked, "Does Sister Mu still have a plan?"
"Humph~" Guan Wen pointed at Lu Jin'an: "You'll see soon enough."
Lu Jin'an was indifferent to the whispers of her younger brothers and sisters, high and low, as she knew that her own personal hell was only just beginning and far from over.
Holding the invitation, he came to a table not far away, sat down, and prepared to start copying the gift list on it.
Since Zheng Dongliu took the position of the master, Wandao Sect has never read out the gifts on the invitation in public, only having them copied and recorded, so that they can return the gifts later.
Thinking about how to 'mediate' the relationship between his sister and Nanzhi, Lu Jin'an just picked up his brush when he realized that he hadn't ground ink today.
Hmm?
Well, according to logic, it should be ready...
Thinking about it, a coolness came from the side. Turning her head, she saw the elegant sister-in-law lighten her sleeves and quietly take the inkstone to grind ink.
Guan Wen smiled as she watched the scene, clearly Sister Mu was just like Uncle Fei, knowing Zhu Nanzhi's identity beforehand and thus being well-prepared.
"Guan Sister, I'll help my younger brother grind ink tomorrow."
Thinking about the previous invitation from Sister Mu, Guan Wen's smile grew warmer, Sister Mu clearly liked Master Brother very much. Why hadn't Master Brother noticed it?
She turned her head to look at Zhu Nanzhi, whose expression was as cold as frost. What would the Saintess of Qingmiao Palace do next?
Guan Wen couldn't help but anticipate, it's not that she wants to see a fight, but rather a "palace battle".
The "palace battle" between the cold saintess and the cold sword Daoist is surely interesting!
And what about Master Brother... Can he handle it?
Lu Jin'an looked at his sister-in-law's profile and whispered, "Thank you."
"It's my duty."
"And also the sparing of my life just now," Lu Jin'an added.
"Not at all," Mu Qingyue seemed to turn and speak to Zhu Nanzhi: "My junior brother's friend is young but quite temperamental. As a sister..."
Pausing for a moment, she gripped the ink bar a bit tighter——
"Can't you hold back a bit?"
...
