63 – Deceiving Yourself

“Senior Disciple Sister, you're back!”

As soon as Xue Qilin stepped through the inn's door, Shui Yuner stood up to welcomed her.

“Uh! Yes.” After closing the door, the la.s.s replied casually.

“Senior Disciple Sister…” Shui Yuner seemed to have discovered something, and she frowned.

“Ah!” A vapor-like natural fragrance a.s.sailed her nostrils. Xue Qilin watched in surprise as a porcelain white hand stroked her cheek.

“You're hurt?”

A gentle feeling came from a scorching hot part of her face, making the expression on Xue Qilin's face become that of embarra.s.sment. She isn't used to such intimate contact.

“Hey, it's nothing…”

Xue Qilin gently removed the other party's hand and smiled foolishly.

“It's fine! It stopped bleeding.”

With the strong healing ability of a Heaven Realm master, this kind of minor injury is not worth mentioning.

After carefully examining the wound on Xue Qilin's face, Shui Yuner pursed her lips, “Be that as it may, you are a girl. Wounds on the face must be handled properly. You have such a beautiful face. Wouldn't it be a shame if a scar was left on you face due to negligence?”

Although the wound has scabbed, but Shui Yuner doesn't seem to be relieved.

“It's not that serious.” Xue Qilin was taken aback.

“Senior Disciple Sister, take a sit first.” Shui Yuner took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, “I'll get some water to clean your wound, and then treat it with some medicine later. Like this, we will be more at ease.”

Who will be more at ease? Xue Qilin nearly asked, but Shui Yuner has already gone to the counter to ask for water.

Looking at Shui Yuner's gentle back, the la.s.s feels helpless, and cannot bring herself to stop her. After all, the other party is just worrying about her.

A wry smile appeared on her face. Xue Qilin shook her head and walked to Xia Xue sitting in a corner, propping her head up with a hand. Xia Xue has a look on her face that says “how fun”.

“You accepted a good disciple!”

Xia Xue teased Xue Qilin who has just sat down beside her.

After a pause, she changed the hand with which she propped her head up. Gazing at the la.s.s, she carried on, “She clearly hasn't officially become your disciple yet.”

“Well, after all, we're sect-mates.” Xue Qilin replied casually. If she showed any embarra.s.sment, the other party will definitely take it as an opportunity to attack her.

“Sect-mates?” The smile on Xia Xue's face grew, “She's been restless the whole time, waiting for you to return.”

“Unlike some people who are indifferent to the fate of others, people are kindhearted.

“Are you talking about me or the Temple Master?” Xia Xue put on a look of surprise, “When you said some people, you were referring to the Temple Master, weren't you?.”

“You're intentionally misunderstanding me!” Xue Qilin rolled her eyes.

Feeling that she'll be at a disadvantage if things continue as is, the la.s.s simply changed the topic and said, “That said, are you really drunk?”

“What do you think?” The corners of Xia Xue's mouth curled up, and she asked while playing with her hair.

“I don't know.” Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose, “I'm not omniscient.”

“I'm drunk.” Xia Xue continued casually, “But not completely drunk.”

“Yo yo yo, you know you can't drink, yet you still accompanied me?”

“I actually like to drink, but my tolerance is low.”

Appearing to feel sorry for herself, Xia Xue sighed suddenly, “The Heavens like making pranks, especially when it comes to the things that you want.”

Is that so? Xue Qilin feels that to be the case.

She sighed, echoing the same sentiment, “Yeah, things never go the way people want to.”

Xue Qilin didn't wait for Xia Xue's reply, because…

She heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

Shui Yuner has returned with water.

“Senior Disciple Sister, let me clean the wound first.” As she moistened the handkerchief, the girl who is always surrounded by the scent of water said with her eyes down.

“Oh, alright…” Xue Qilin agreed foolishly.

“I have some Jinchuang Ointment [1] in my bag, and it's of good quality. If you don't mind, please bear with it, Senior Disciple Sister. I'll apply some on your face next.”

Shui Yuner cleaned the wound on her face carefully, her movements gentle.

The water dampened the wound and produced a pleasant coolness. Xue Qilin narrowed her eyes, feeling comfortable.

As she looked at the beautiful and elegant face in front of her eyes, she felt the soft cloth was.h.i.+ng her ear. She felt so good that she wanted to moan, but then she glimpsed Xia Xue's profound smile from the corner of her eye.

“Finished.” Shui Yuner smiled calmly.

“I'll wash it for you.” Xue Qilin discovered that the handkerchief is stained with a little blood, and she uttered.

“No need.” Shui Yuner got up, “I'll go get the medicine now.”

Then, she left without waiting for Xue Qilin to react.

“I don't think so.”

Xia Xue glanced at Shui Yuner who is heading to the second floor, and then plastered that enigmatic smile on her face again.

“Didn't you get what you wanted, didn't woo Shui Yuner?”
