“It turns out to be Princess Yunyao. Princess, why did you run off to Heavenly Book Mountains for? You’re not busy trying different means to keep your crown prince brother beside you?” Ning Xuemo spoke in a clear and sharp voice. Her words were full of deep meaning, stimulating one’s wild imagination.

Ji Yunyao blanked. She always felt guilty acting like a villain, and to start with she was an impatient person.

Ning Xuemo’s light as a feather words jabbed at her sore spot. Her expression changed as she spoke with fury, “What nonsense are you saying?! I… I… What trying different means to keep my crown prince brother beside me?! We are blood related…”

“Oh? Did I say you weren’t blood related siblings? Princess Yunyao, what are you anxious about? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?” Ning Xuemo blinked.

“You-” Ji Yunyao’s face turned crimson. “Absolutely disgraceful! Why would I have a guilty conscience? Big Brother Yunhuang and I are pure in mind and body. We are siblings and blood related. What’s wrong with us being close?”

“Indeed, there’s nothing wrong with blood related siblings being close…” Ning Xuemo lengthened the last word before continuing. “It’s just that seeing Princess’ usual behavior, I was under the impression that you were merely siblings in name. It seemed like I misunderstood. However, some of your actions really do make people wonder…”

Her use of words, each and every one was laced with underlying meaning.

Everyone there, be it men, women, boys and girls, it doesn’t matter the age, are quite prone to gossip. Ning Xuemo’s words were simply like a dose of stimulant. In a flash, it sparked the rumors mills. Who knows how many sharp gazes landed on Ji Yunyao.

‘Blood-related siblings having a love affair? It couldn’t be, right?!’

Ji Yunyao tightly clenched her fists. She always thought that she concealed her feelings extremely well. Then how could this smelly girl see through it and reveal it in front of everyone?!
