Chapter 74: Sister Change (2/2)
”Ohhh, you sure have your way with words. No wonder my Junior Sister Lu is dreaming of you even when she's sleeping,” teased the young woman.
”Is that so? Can I see her?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
”No,” the young woman said, a crafty look covering her face.
”Why so? Are her injuries that bad?” Xiang Shaoyun asked anxiously.
”She is fine, but if you want to see her, you have to first satisfy my requirement,” said the young woman.
”I see. What is your requirement, then?” Xiang Shaoyun asked, amused.
”Simple. Praise me. If I'm happy with your praise, I'll let you in,” said the young woman in excitement.
”Is that proper? You are already so beautiful, if I continue praising you, even Lady Chang'e on the moon will pale in comparison. For the sake of the moon, I think we should forget it,” Xiang Shaoyun said with a reluctant look on his face.
”Haha...you're amusing. How can I compare with Chang'e?” A wide smile bloomed on the young woman's face when she heard those words.
”How can you not? If you ask me, I say Lady Chang'e is not even half as pretty as you. I must've exhausted eight lifetimes' worth of good fortune to be able to meet you today,” Xiang Shaoyun continued. One ought to admit that Xiang Shaoyun's mouth was truly much more powerful than his hands. With a few short sentences, the young woman could no longer stop laughing.
”Little Xin, what are you doing? Invite Shaoyun in,” eleventh elder's voice rang out from inside the building. The young woman immediately stopped laughing and whispered to Xiang Shaoyun, ”Alright, pa.s.s. Go on in. Remember, this big sister's name is Chen Xin.”
”You got it wrong. It's Big Sister Chang'e,” Xiang Shaoyun said.
”No wonder my Junior Sister Lu is completely smitten by you. I can't allow this. I have to warn her to stay far away from you. You are too much of a sweet talker!” Chen Xi said, seemingly praising and admonis.h.i.+ng him at the same time before rus.h.i.+ng into the building.
Xiang Shaoyun smiled before stepping in too. When he entered the yard, He Yinghua was walking out of the building too. When she saw Xiang Shaoyun, she smiled and said, ”Come in and have a seat, Shaoyun.”
Ordinary disciples would definitely not be greeted by an elder when they visit. This was a treatment only accorded to Xiang Shaoyun.
”Greetings, Elder He,” Xiang Shaoyun greeted politely.
”You're too polite. I am of the same generation as your senior brother. If you don't look down on me, just call me senior sister,” He Yinghua said enthusiastically. When Chen Xin heard that, she staggered and nearly planted her face on the ground. That caused He Yinghua to send her a dissatisfied glance. ”Why are you so clumsy?”
”N-nothing, m-master. I-I forgot to watch my step,” Chen Xin quickly explained herself. She shouted inwardly, Since he is calling master senior sister, wouldn't the seniority be completely messed up when he marries Junior Sister Lu in the future? Oh my heavens!
One ought to admit that Chen Xi had quite an active imagination.
”Thank you for the favor you have shown me, El—Senior Sister He. How is Lu Xiaoqing?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
”She's fine. You can see her inside,” He Yinghua said before telling Chen Xin to bring Xiang Shaoyun to Lu Xiaoqing. Little did Xiang Shaoyun know that this meeting with Lu Xiaoqing would put him in a predicament.
