Chapter 206 - Gathering for Cultivation (6) (1/2)

At nightfall…

Ming Shu avoided those disciples and sneaked into Yun Yao’s room.

Yun Yao seemed to be taking a shower. The sound of falling water filled the whole room.

Yun Yao’s vague voice came from inside: “You can’t do this next time. It really scared me. They almost found it out. If it’s discovered, it’ll be me who will be driven away.”

“I know. If it weren’t for that man suddenly appearing, you wouldn’t have been exposed,” a young voice answered, sounding a bit wronged.

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. It was really related to the fake female protagonist?

“Who was that man?”

“I don’t know. I have been away from the Yin Sect for a long time.” The young voice sounded very steady, which was somewhat twisted. “I made great efforts to get those elixirs, and now I lost them so easily. When will you find some elixirs?”

“No, behave yourself, don’t steal elixirs again.” Yun Yao warned, “You will kill me. I will find a way to get you elixirs.”

Was it the golden finger of the fake female protagonist?

So… the Host was framed of stealing the elixirs, which in fact was because of the fake female protagonist?

Ming Shu opened the curtain and went in.

“Who’s there!”

The young voice was full of vigilance and alarm.

Hulala! Yun Yao covered her body and turned to look in the direction of Ming Shu. She was very surprised. “Xuan Ji, how are you here?”

When did she come in?

She didn’t even sense it at all…

Ming Shu swept her gaze over the whole place yet found nothing strange. She saw Yun Yao was holding a bracelet in her hand, one which looked quite primitive.

Perhaps Ming Shu’s gaze was too straightforward. Yun Yao subconsciously covered the bracelet and asked, “Xuan Ji, what are you doing in my room?”

The steam rose around them, blurring the girl’s smiling face. “I’m here to have a private conversation with you.”

“What?” Yun Yao was confused, and she frowned. “If you want to tell me something, you need to wait for me to put my clothes on. Just leave first.”

Although Yun Yao didn’t know how she came in so quietly, at this time she wasn’t wearing anything. Even though they were both girls, Yun Yao felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Ming Shu didn’t listen to her, and instead approached the tub.

“Stop right there!”

“Xuan Ji, stop right there, if you come any closer, I will take action.”

But Ming Shu didn’t seem to have heard her. Yun Yao immediately wrapped herself in the clothes beside her.

She raised her hand and attacked Ming Shu with a magic art, trying to trap Ming Shu.

Ming Shu moved aside a little and successfully avoided the attack. She was so swift that Yun Yao didn’t react in time.

So fast…

Yun Yao was shocked. “You…”

Wasn’t she a three-spirit root owner? Why did she have such quick movements? Did she learn any powerful magic arts?

“Ah!”

Yun Yao’s wrist was suddenly caught, and she was startled to let out a scream. Then her whole person was pushed back into the tub.

Yun Yao was pushed into the water, her wrists trapped, and she couldn’t form any magic art to attack Ming Shu.

“Did you steal the elixirs?” The clear voice came from over the top of her head.

“Wuwuwu…” Yun Yao struggled.

Ming Shu loosened her hand a little and let her breathe. “Did you steal the elixirs?” she asked again.

Since Yun Yao came to this world, she had never met such a terrible situation. She shook her head with a pale face. “No… no.”

“I heard you talking just now.” Ming Shu slid her fingertips to Yun Yao’s wrist. “Was it this? What’s inside this bracelet? An ancient divine beast? Or…”

“This is just a bracelet, there’s nothing in it.” Yun Yao screamed, “You let go of me, Xuan Ji! We had nothing against each other, why are you doing this to me?”

“You’re right.” Ming Shu once again pushed her down. “We had nothing against each other. But you stole the elixirs and just watched others frame me?”

“Wuwuwuwu…”

Yun Yao was pulled up again. She breathed heavily and her eyes turned red. “I don’t know… I didn’t know they would frame you. It’s them who framed you, it had nothing to do with me. I just took the elixirs. You are looking for the wrong person.”
