Chapter 156.1: Caused Stirrings of Love (1/2)

That night, Tang Doudou and Mu Qingyao talked late into the night. She only jumped over the wall to return to Bai Courtyard when her eyelids could no longer defy gravity.

Early the next morning, Tang Doudou was called to the Alliance Head Residence and, under Elder Yu’s intense pleading, convened the martial arts convention. With Bai Feiyun’s help, she arranged the response policy for all the sects and promised that she would resolve the current crisis as quickly as possible.

After bustling around for an entire day, Tang Doudou was completely spent. She fell unconscious the moment her head touched her pillow.

She never predicted that, for the next month, she would spend every single day this way.

She only had free time to look for Mu Qingyao after the matter with the Demonic Sect gradually settled down.

“Don’t worry, Alliance Head. Qingyao understands.” When Tang Doudou arrived, Mu Qingyao was in the middle of packing to head back to the Green Jade School.

Actually, the reason Tang Doudou came was just to see if they had left yet. She had no intention of urging Mu Qingyao to help her.

“From the looks of it, the Alliance Head Residence’s reception was unsatisfactory, that’s why Sect Leader is in such a rush to leave?” joked Tang Doudou as she looked at the room that had been put back in order.

Mu Qingyao picked up her wrapped bundle and stood in front of Tang Doudou. “We’ve already been in Huai City a long time. I don’t know even how much work has piled up back in the school, waiting for me to sort through.”

“Since it’s like that, I won’t detain Sect Leader any longer. Just let me see you off until the city gates!”

“How could we dare trouble Alliance Head Li?”

“Haha, Sect Leader, no need to be polite with me. Let’s go!” Tang Doudou picked up the wrapped bundle on the table nearby and took the initiative to walk out.

A trace of helplessness appeared in Mu Qingyao’s eyes. She said softly to the disciples, “Let’s go.”

Mu Xinyu nodded, her face slightly red. She looked bashfully towards Tang Doudou’s back, because that bundle was hers.

When Mu Xinlan, who was next to her saw her blush, she laughed coldly. “Second Senior Sister, you couldn’t have fallen for Li Xueyi, right?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyao glanced at Mu Xinyu questioningly and asked, “Xinyu, is what your Junior Sister said true?”

Her inner thoughts exposed, Mu Xinyu bit her lower lip and twisted her sleeves without speaking. However, her reaction already gave a clear answer. She had fallen for Li Xueyi, that lively youngster.

Upon seeing this, Mu Qingyao shook her head helplessly and said with a slight warning tone, “Give up on this idea as soon as possible. You being with him is impossible.”

“Master, I…” Mu Xinyu really wanted to say that there was nothing in this world that was impossible, that she believed her good looks and personality were sufficient to match up to Li Xueyi. However, she had just started objecting when Mu Qingyao shot a stern gaze over, scaring her into silence.

“Xinyu, don’t forget that he is engaged to someone else. Could it be that you want to become a concubine? Even if you want to be a concubine, that person has to agree first. Do you think that’s possible?” Mu Qingyao’s calm eyes turned stern and started to emit a special oppressive pressure. After she stared at Mu Xinyu a few moments, Mu Xinyu was so scared that her eyes were whirling around to avoid that gaze. However, she was the type that was likely to keep dreaming her entire life if no one completely destroyed her hopes.
