Chapter 69 – Who Is Shui Yuner?

The la.s.s quickly turned to look at the door.

… A red figure rushed inside.

Like swaying flames, a pair of eye-catching red sleeves danced in the air. As if daubed in ink, black treads drifted with the wind.

A girl in a red dress, like a flame, rushed in from the door.

When the mesmerizing delicate face was exposed for everyone to see, everything else lost its color, and even disappeared.

A fire-like existence overwhelmed everything else.

She broke into people's thoughts in a violent way, dyeing everything red.

All eyes are focused on the red figure.

… Only two people are an exception.

One is Xia Xue, the other is…

“Little Seven!” Like a mouse that has seen a cat, all the hairs on Xue Qilin's body stood up. Looking around in a panic, her eyes finally fell on a half-open window, and she dashed towards the window in panic.

However…

“Stop right there!”

It was just a simple sentence, yet Xue Qilin froze instantly, unable to move.

“Hha…”

Breaking out in cold sweat from her forehead, Xue Qilin turned back stiffly.

As the Merak Temple's Temple Master Qi Qiqi quickly approached her, a sweet fragrance similar to jasmine a.s.saulted her nose.

“Little Seven… long time no see!”

The la.s.s issued a “hha” and backed away repeatedly.

“Try taking another step back.”

“Uh…” Xue Qilin stopped instinctively.

In the next moment, red covered her field of vision.

“I'm so mad at you! You deceived me and went out!”

The fire, the fire of rage ignited in the bright red eyes.

“Whoa, you clearly knew about it!” In response to Qi Qiqi's accusation, Xue Qilin cried foul in panic.

But that wasn't helpful.

The big sleeve of the girl in red swept abruptly in the air, and a lily-white palm struck towards Xue Qilin's ear at high speed.

“Wait…!”

“Hmm?”

Xue Qilin tried to evade in fear, but because Qi Qiqi glared at her, she dropped it.

In the end, the girl was safe and sound.

In the bright yellow eyes, the other person's palm retracted unnaturally.

Xue Qilin gave Xia Xue a grateful look. Just now, the other party said “Younger Sister Temple Master, there are other people here.” and saved her.

But then Xia Xue mouthed silently – “How do you like my surprise?”

So she was after this from the beginning! Xue Qilin clenched her white teeth angrily.

“Are you new disciples?” After taking a look around, Qi Qiqi adopted a dignified expression and asked with a light smile.

No matter how Xue Qilin looked at it, she found her expression awkward, and that's probably because of the red color on her face.

Silence, no one replied Qi Qiqi.

They're probably still indulging in the breathtaking aftertaste of seeing the red-dressed girl for the first time.

… Unexpectedly, the first to react is Nangong Mingye.

“Wow, super beautiful Older Sister!” Nangong Mingye exclaimed and ran towards the slightly dazed Qi Qiqi with open arms

However, someone is even faster than him.

A purple figure streaked past in front of Xue Qilin's eyes at high speed and overtook Nangong Mingye.

Nangong Mingming hurried to in front of Qi Qiqi and and took her hands.

“Temple Master, Temple Master Qi, I, I've admired you for a long time!”

This sentence was stammered out due to excitement.

It might be a misconception, but Xue Qilin feels like there are many small stars in Nangong Mingming's eyes.

Those are eyes nearly blinded by wors.h.i.+p.

“Ah?” Unsure of how to deal with the other party, Qi Qiqi looked at Xue Qilin with help-seeking eyes.

I'm not stupid enough to help you out! The la.s.s folded her arms and looked away, pretending not to see anything. If Qi Qiqi can get away, she will be the one out of luck.

Qi Qiqi's lips twisted in response to Xue Qilin's action.

“Temple Master, Temple Master Qi, my name is Nangong Mingming. Previously, I was lucky enough to see you in a Taoist banquet, Temple Master Qi. I still remember vividly how elegant you looked at that time, Temple Master Qi.”

“Uh… really?” Qi Qiqi responded, a little embarra.s.sed.

In the face of overzealous enthusiasm, most people don't know how to respond. Qi Qiqi is no exception apparently.

“I still remember how you led the Elders of Merak Temple into the banquet hall, how your red dress fluttered, Temple Master Qi. That dignified image… At that time, I made up my mind to become just like you, Temple Master Qi!” Nangong Mingming doesn't seem to realize that Qi Qiqi looks more and more like she is at a loss for what to do, and still chatters on and on in admiration.

Rabid fan. In a flash, this a.n.a.logy emerged in Xue Qilin's mind.

“Rea, really? I'm very happy…”

A gaze of seeking help landed on the la.s.s again.

If I don't help her again, she'll definitely harbor a grudge, and then settle accounts at an opportune time!

Xue Qilin knows that if she doesn't help her out, she will be in trouble.

However…

“Mingming, you're scaring her.”

It wasn't Xue Qilin, but Shui Yuner who responded to the call for help.

Only after someone warned her did Nangong Mingming realize that her words and actions are inappropriate, and she let go of Qi Qiqi's hands in a panic.

“Sor, sorry, I was too excited.” Nangong Mingming bowed as she apologized.

“Mingming, I think that Temple Master Qi must be happy that you admire her, but you may need to exercise some restraint in your expression of admiration!”

“Is, is that so?” As if a child caught doing mischief, Nangong Mingming looked at Qi Qiqi anxiously.

“Temple Master Qi, what say you?” Shui Yuner smiled and winked at Qi Qiqi.
