Chapter 28: Snowys Scheme (1/2)
”Actually…” Elder Yang glanced at Snowy and continued speaking when he saw Snowy gave a small nod, ”From the beginning, Sect Master had predicted that the disturbance caused by Heavenly Blood Sect was actually a bait for me to leave the Phoenix City. Their goal was to ambush us and to buy time for Yan Family to seize control of the city. So, the Sect Master ordered me, Lin Ming, and Zi Ling to stay in the city.”
”Hmm. So why were you still leaving if you were ordered to stay behind?” Feng Xue tilted her head confused. But, before Elder Yang could answer, she clapped and blurted out excitedly,” Ah, I know! You wanted to avoid their suspicion so they would continue with their plans, and then we can finish them in one swoop!”
”Yes, as you say, we had pretended to leave so we could lure them to make a move. The main reason we successfully fooling them was because of Snowy's effort…” Elder Yang said as he once again looked at Snowy, but this gaze was filled with appreciation.
Hearing Snowy's name was mentioned by Elder Yang, Feng Xue couldn't hide her curiosity and then asked, ”Huh, Snowy? What this is all about?”
”She gave us her Earth-ranked, and Heaven-ranked technique,” The one who answered her question was neither Elder Yang nor Snowy, but Lin Ming.
”Ah! You gave them Yin Yang Shadow Step and Aura Concealment?!” Feng Xue looked at Snowy with a sharp glare questioning her sanity. Snowy just casually shrugged her shoulder in response and acted nonchalant as usual.
Next, Feng Xue changed her target to the trio and said,” I hope that Master, First Brother Lin, and Senior Sister Zi can keep this as a secret between us. If this secret is leaked, I don't think I can forgive you three.”
Her intense gaze and firm expression made them aware that she was serious, so serious that it felt a little bit scary.
”Don't worry, Junior Sister Feng. We won't tell a soul about this,” Zi Ling said in a gentle voice, not offended in the slightest by Feng Xue's threat.
”Aiyaa, my little disciple, had already grown up and really forgetting about her roots after finding someone she likes. She's not anything now, but she's already taking her side all the time. What happens once both of them are actually get together? She won't even look at her master at that point.” Elder Yang said with an exaggerated sigh while shook his head.
”Wha-what are you saying, Master! I… I don't even know if she likes me…” Feng Xue flustered by her master teasing. Her voice became smaller and smaller as she continued her words.
”You don't even deny that you have a crush on her, huh?” Lin Ming smirked at Feng Xue's cute reaction; he wasn't going to let her off easily.
”First Brother Lin!!” Feng Xue growled and when she was one step away to pounce him, Snowy held her waist and patted her head.
”I like you too, Xue,” Snowy said firmly.
”R-really?” Feng Xue's stuttered, her heart pounding like crazy when she heard Snowy's confession. She quickly covered her face with her hands preventing Snowy to take a look at her blushing cheek.
”Yes, of course. And, I like Elder Yang, Lin Ming, and Zi Ling too. They're nice people.” Snowy added.
