Seems like this pair of siblings get along well, regardless, since I am in his sister’s body now, I cannot possibly leave my handsome brother alone. Lei Lei briskly walked over to the window, stuck herself out to glance around, then quickly shut the window panes, anxiously: “What are you doing here, be careful, would not want Xiao Bai to notice!”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue sat down: “You are worried about me?”
It has been some time since coming to Bai Sheng Shan Manor, Lei Lei had already noticed early on that the security within the Manor is extremely tight, it is no wonder that the last time Xing Zhu Gu Wan had to come personally, only then can a person be brought out. Now the Young Master is afraid that the same incident would happen again, he specially placed more guards in this area, to be able to slip past so many highly skilled guards, handsome brother is so capable.
She turned around and plugged the door bolt, Lei Lei felt more at ease: “There are a lot of guards, it’s dangerous.”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue watched her actions, then smiled: “Definitely my good sister.”
Siblings relationship is a fact, although “Xiao Bai” is not too bad, but there hasn’t been much progress yet, on the other hand this brother is different, he will unconditionally protect himself should anything happen, besides he is a devil, if we were really found out, I will also be dragged into the mud! Lei Lei held his neck, taking advantage of him, and smiled flatteringly: “You are my brother, who should I worry about if not you? Next time it would be better if you don’t come in so casually, let’s fix a date and place to meet up.”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue held her hand, in a soft voice: “No worries, you have stayed here for a long time, what have you discovered?”
To say nothing at all, he may not believe her, Lei Lei deliberately thought: “East of the yard is an old study room that seems suspicious.”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue nodded: “Even you could tell, that study room was used by Xiao Yuan when he was still alive, now the guards there standing by are all highly skilled, perhaps about twelve or thirteen of them, even I would have trouble slipping in.”
Actually for that study room apart from the Young Master, no one else is allowed to enter, this is no secret at Bai Sheng Shan Manor, but Lei Lei felt that it was weird, now that she knows experts are deployed to watch over in secrecy, she found it more suspicious, to guard a normal study room so tightly, the only reason could be……
“You suspect the core teaching of the Xiao Xiao Feng Ming Dao to be inside?”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue did not comment.
Lei Lei watched him for a moment, turned to his front: “Brother, there is no way to learn all the martial arts in the world, you are already so powerful, must you learn that too?”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue shook his head: “Each martial art has their own faction, Xiao Xiao Feng Ming Dao requires the use of a strong pure Yang internal force, which is completely contrary to what I have learned, why would I abandon my internal force to master it?”
Seeing how he doesn’t seem to be lying, Lei Lei is surprised: “Then you want it for……”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue said: “Xiao Xiao Feng Ming Dao is known as the justice upholder, Xiao Bai has repeatedly prevented us from doing things, how can we leave it alone, besides I have to use it as a witness.”
Seeing that she didn’t understand, he smiled slightly: “This matter would have to start from back then during Leader Nan Xing He’s times.”
.
Lei Lei remembered this name: “The demonic cult’s leader? Didn’t he die by the Xiao family ancestor Xiao Min’s Feng Ming Dao?”
“It’s the Xing Yue Cult, those people self-proclaimed righteousness, called us the demonic cult, how can you speak nonsense like them!” Shang Guan Qiu Yue berated, “Back then they set a trap, killed Leader Nan, Xing Yue Cult’s vitality was badly hurt, thus splitting up into Chuan Qi Valley and us Qian Yue Cave, but the two made a pact, whoever kills the Xiao Family’s descendents, destroys the core teaching of Xiao Xiao Feng Ming Dao, to revenge for Leader Nan, the other cult would have to come under the other cult’s command, then Xing Yue Cult can once again be united as one.”
Handsome brother is so ambitious! Lei Lei is in a daze.
With beautiful slender fingers he lifted her chin, Shang Guan Qiu Yue looked into her eyes: “It affects my grand plan, don’t you want to help me?”
His affectionate eyes are bewitching, Lei Lei used her own hand to pinch herself, to stay alert: “But Xiao Bai has long mastered the Xiao Xiao Feng Ming Dao, even with the core teaching stolen, he can still pass it down.”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue let go of her: “So we still need to obtain the Dark Ice Stone.”
Lei Lei confused: “Dark Ice Stone?”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue said: “Xiao Xiao Feng Ming Dao was originally created by Xiao Sheng, at that time it was famous all over the world, but who would have thought that hidden in this this core teaching was a demonic trait, the more that it is used, the easier to be led astray, therefore he tried every means to solve it, and finally he found the rare Dark Ice Stone, and carried it around to suppress the demonic trait, hence the Xiao Xiao Feng Ming Dao may be powerful, but even under the most glorious days of the Xiao Family, they only pass it on to the eldest son, due to this secret.”
Lei Lei suddenly asked: “Is the Dark Ice Stone blue?”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue nodded.
The Young Master indeed carried a light blue jewel on him, which she discovered when she was taking advantage of him, no wonder he has always been simple, yet he wears this kind of decoration, as it turns out that there is a reason for it.
Lei Lei was secretly startled: “How did you know?”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue smiled slightly: “What do I not know?”
Lei Lei began to worry, that is something “Xiao Bai’ carried on him that is important, how would he let someone that take away so easily, besides without the stone, “Xiao Bai” might become crazy, that won’t do.
“Your heart softened?” Shang Guan Qiu Yue pulled her into an embrace, his nose touching hers, obviously a brother who pampers his sister, “You have good intentions, but Xiao Bai may not think the same, should he knows of your identity, he won’t show you mercy, you think just because they claim to be righteous, that makes them good people? Back then when they plot against Leader Nan, they pulled every trick in the book.”
She’s been seen through once again, Lei Lei dare not be careless: “Back then why did they harm Leader Nan?”
“I will tell you when I have the time,” Shang Guan Qiu Yue pushed her away, got up, “Since Xiao Bai carries the Dark Ice Stone around, there is no rush for you to steal it, just think of a way to enter the study room.”
Lei Lei became silent.
Shang Guan Qiu Yue looked at her for a while, then sighed: “Forget it, if you don’t like to do such things, then return back with me.”
To not become a spy and steal, then there is no need to stay here anymore, Lei Lei blinked her eyes, feeling caught in the middle, return? Although this person is also a top notch handsome man, but ultimately he is her brother, how can he compare to our “Xiao Bai”, incest is not conducive to the inheritance of good genes, no way! I want to follow “Xiao Bai”, just agree first, there will be a solution somehow.
Having made up her mind, Lei Lei pulled him, and gave him a determined look: “Okay, I will think of a way to enter the study room.”
The smile in his eyes was in full bloom, like a splendid spring flower, Shang Guan Qiu Yue touched her face: “That’s right, no matter how nice they are, they are still outsiders, only I treat you sincerely.”
Since he threw himself at her, she might as well take advantage of it, Lei Lei hugged him: “Where is your Duo Qing Lian, it’s beautiful, I want to see it!”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue smiled a smile that doesn’t look like it: “You can’t.”
“Show it to me!”
“No.”
Lei Lei became angry, and let go of him: “Petty! It’s just a Duo Qing Lian, the name sounds like a woman uses it, a guy using something a woman uses! I can’t be bothered!”
Shang Guan Qiu Yue instead of coaxing her, just laughed: “Be careful.”
Opened the door to leave, and then he was gone in a flash.
Actually handsome brother is not as easy as “Xiao Bai” to bully, it’s no wonder there is a saying “when the magga grows a foot, the devil grows a yard”, the devil is still has the most pull, Lei Lei looked at the door, as she came to this conclusion.
[T/N: Magga is also called the Eightfold Path. It is a Buddhist teaching where once a person has decided to pursue Buddhist principles in order to decrease their suffering, find inner calm, or even attain enlightenment and nirvana , they can follow the magga.]
.
To the east is a small yard, hidden in a lush evergreen forest, in the midst is an old study room, used by the Old Master Xiao Yuan when he was alive. Although Lei Lei didn’t really intend to help Shang Guan Qiu Yue steal the core teaching, out of her own curiosity, she pretended to be helping with cleaning and tried to get closer twice. As expected, someone came out to stop her every time, which confirmed her thoughts——there really is a problem!
To guard so tightly, is it not outrightly letting people know, there is something important inside!
“Xiao Bai” doesn’t seem to be this stupid…...
The days pass in a string of question marks, and September 15th will come soon.
The chance for me to show off is almost here!
Excitement rushed in her mind, Lei Lei put aside her thoughts, held on to a beautiful white robe and ran to the hot spring at the back of the manor, as she made an extremely important decision in her heart——who cares about the playboy, our “Xiao Bai” is also very handsome!
“Xiao Bai Xiao Bai!”
Steam is coming out of the hot spring, the Young Master was about to get dressed ashore, when he heard her shouting, before he could react he retreated back into the water, and raised his head.
Lei Lei jumped out from behind the rock, shook open the robe she was holding: “Xiao Bai, don’t wear those today, wear this instead!”
The Young Master was speechless.
Seeing that the occasion is special, Lei Lei stood still holding the clothes, and watched to appreciate the beauty. Since you saw us once before, now it’s our turn, his figure is not too bad!
He had goosebumps, the Young Master quickly regained his composure, having gotten used to her behaviour, he did not get angry, but just slightly berated her: “Get out.”
Get out? Lei Lei shook her head to get rid of her impure thoughts, waved the new clothes she held: “Look, I got someone to make you new clothes, you can wear them to today’s poetry gathering.”
White background with silver edges, faintly golden silk pattern, shimmering under the light.
The Young Master looked at it, and felt it was too flamboyant: “No need.”
To think he is not appreciative? Lei Lei frowned, raising her voice: “I had to ask many people for their favours to get this made, you still don’t want to wear it?”
The Young Master shook his head in determination: “Get out.”
Lei Lei snorted, and took the old clothes by the edge of the hot spring along with her.
The Young Master held his anger in: “Stop fooling around!”
“Don’t wear, don’t wear anything then, go nude!” Knowing that he is easy to bully, Lei Lei doesn’t take his opinions seriously, walking away triumphantly.
The Young Master panicked, and scolded: “Stop!”
Lei Lei stopped.
The Young Master irritated: “Leave it.”
Lei Lei was happy: “You should have said earlier!”
.
After she put down his clothes, she was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly she saw something——by the water not far from the Young Master, there was a piece of light blue pendant.
Getting reminded, Lei Lei started to wonder, if the Dark Ice Stone's function is a secret, and only a few people know of it. Of course she would not harm "Xiao Bai", but the handsome brother would definitely think of other ways. Should she remind "Xiao Bai" to watch out?
Seeing her gaze change, the Young Master calmly asked: “What are you looking at?”
Lei Lei blinked, annoyed: “Of course I am waiting for you to get up and try on the clothes, quick!”
The Young Master powerless: “Get out.”
Lei Lei felt at ease teasing him, folding her arms in front of her chest, her gaze became bolder: “Ah, you are afraid of me?”
“……”
Actually if the Young Master were to really get out of the water now, she would run away, it’s a pity although the Young Master understands this, the concept of men and women instilled since childhood still makes him reluctant to take this step, resulting in him obediently soaking in the water getting teased, yet it is not nice to get too riled up, much less call for assistance, feeling depressed for a moment, he could only silently stare at her, secretly weighing the thickness of this woman’s face.
Looks good! Lei Lei’s perverse has no boundaries.
After being watched endlessly, the Young Master's dissatisfaction quickly disappeared, and his heavy face gradually returned to normal. In the end, he finally sighed, and couldn't help but smile: “Come here.”
He is calling me to go over? Lei Lei was bewitched by the smile, she didn't even think about it, her legs started to move, she really went over mindlessly like a ghost, she was closer to the beautiful guy, and she saw some details more clearly, the blood was flowing up, she didn't dare to continue to look down, so she raised her gaze immediately, to avoid bleeding from her nose on the spot.
The Young Master smiled wickedly: “Come here.”
What does Xiao Bai want? Lei Lei’s both eyes sparkled, as she leaned down.
The Young Master reached for her acupoints, turned her in a swift motion, then he got up, grabbed her by the collar and flung her.
Lei Lei flew lightly behind the rock, landed, like a toad.
“Xiao Bai!” Her teeth clenched.
“……”
The Young Master’s expression unchanged, as he got dressed.
.
When her acupoints were released, the angry Lei Lei was free, seeing him wear the old two tone robes, made her angrier, regardless of other things, she quickly picked up the white robe on the ground: “Wear this!”
The Young Master was quiet, as he turned to leave.
Lei Lei has always been a person of perseverance, she immediately stopped him, heartbroken: “You don’t appreciate my effort one bit, do you know how much effort I put into this, how much hard work! You have to wear it today!”
Seeing that she stretched out her hand to pull on his belt, the Young Master was embarrassed, so he pushed her away.
Scream.
Not what he was expecting, the Young Master panicked and turned around, to see that she was on the floor, and quickly went over to help her up, anxious: “You…...are you alright?”
“Of course not!” Lei Lei wasn’t courteous, with reddened eyes she cried: “My hand, you hurt me!”
The Young Master was suspicious: “I didn’t use strength……”
Lei Lei complained: “You know martial arts, not using strength can also hurt me!”
The logic seemed right, the Young Master felt remorse, not sure how to comfort her: “I……”
Lei Lei rolled up her sleeves, not minding exposing her snow lotus root like arms, looking aggrieved: “Still claim that you didn’t use strength, it hurts, look!”
Her arm right in his face, the Young Master dared not look in detail, yet he couldn’t not look, so he could only shift his gaze elsewhere, with an apologetic tone: “Let me bring you to see a physician.”
“Forget it, it will be fine in a couple of days,” Lei Lei rolled down her sleeves, hugged his arm, and rubbed her face on him, then she lifted the white robe in her hand, pleasantly, “Just wear it this once, I really spent a lot of effort to make this, I specially got someone to make this for you, I had to travel very far!”
The Young Master hesitated, but did not reject.
.
In the evening sky, a carriage moved on the avenue in no hurry.
The inside of the carriage is not spacious, the Young Master sat in it, the snow-white robes with gold patterns and silver rims on his body, made him appear more handsome, a little less mature and stable, but more chic and friendly. Lei Lei sat next to him as she kept swallowing her saliva, he is always dressed so old and formal, with the change in outfit today, he is totally prince charming!
Actually the Young Master originally planned to ride on a horse, but was pulled in by Lei Lei under the pretext of "how can a maid sit in the carriage while the master rides the horse”. The Young Master doesn’t have hard rules, he probably figured that this woman doesn't mind or even likes to approach men, yet he didn't object.
Lei Lei has her own reason, there are many people in the city, it is too unsafe for such good looks to be riding on a horse. The handsome man that I spent so much effort cultivating cannot land in someone else’s hands, might as well create a chance to be alone.
Thinking of the poetry gathering, she became more excited, as she revised all the poems that she had memorised, she made up her mind, tonight she will let these ancient people know what is a high class poem, beat that “number one talent in the martial arts world”, then she herself take that title!
Turning around to see that the Young Master seemed to be in no mood, she threw herself onto him: “Xiao Bai!”
The Young Master looked at her.
Lei Lei rubbed her arm, aggrieved: “My arm still hurts!”
The Young Master’s mouth twitched.
Lei Lei nudged him more: “Xiao Bai——”
The Young Master had goosebumps, moved to the side: “You……”
Lei Lei was angry: “Xiao Bai, my hand hurts!”
The Young Master no longer avoided, and let her lean on him.
When Lei Lei thought of participating in the poetry gathering, she felt triumphant: “Today that Qin Liu Feng will be attending right?”
The Young Master was stunned, and stayed silent.
