Chapter 279: Then Senior Sister, You…

“Is this where you live, Senior Sister?”

The young girl who had knocked on the door of the Tofu Shop’s courtyard walked into the yard.

Looking at this small, ordinary courtyard, aside from a stone table and a few stone stools, there was only a Millstone used for grinding beans.

The courtyard was very clean, and the layout was quite simple.

However, this also perfectly matched her Senior Sister’s personality.

Back when they were in the Huanxi Sect, her Senior Sister’s bedroom had only a bed, a table, and a chair.

For a girl’s room, it didn’t even have a dressing table.

“Meow~”

Just as the girl was constantly sizing up the courtyard, a small cat jumped down from a small tree in the yard.

The Little Calico Cat shook the snowflakes off its body, walked to Bai Luoxue’s side, and kept rubbing against the hem of her skirt.

Upon seeing the kitten, the girl’s eyes immediately lit up.

The girl bent down and reached out her hand, wanting to pick it up.

However, the Little Calico Cat let out two “meows” at her, took a step back, and completely hid behind Bai Luoxue.

It was as if at the slightest sign of trouble, the Little Calico Cat would turn and run away.

“Shanshan, do you like cats?” Seeing her Junior Sister’s appearance, Bai Luoxue tilted her head.

“No, I don’t like cats at all.”

The girl, whose full name was Lan Shanshan and who also came from the Huanxi Sect, turned her head away.

However, Lan Shanshan’s gaze still drifted toward the back of Bai Luoxue from time to time.

“You clearly like cats, so why do you say you don’t?” Bai Luoxue spoke slowly, some doubt in her heart as she couldn’t help but think of Lin Xun.

Lin Xun was the same.

He clearly liked my feet and liked it when I wore less.

Because when I was barefoot, he looked at my feet several times.

When I wore less, his gaze would also uncontrollably drift toward my exposed skin.

But why did Lin Xun say he didn’t like it?

Bai Luoxue didn’t understand.

“If I say I don’t like them, I don’t like them.”

Lan Shanshan, whose thoughts had been exposed, had slightly flushed cheeks. However, looking at the Little Calico Cat, she turned her head and said softly.

“But it’s not like I hate them either…”

Bai Luoxue: “???”

“Alright, let’s not talk about that.” Lan Shanshan changed the subject. “Senior Sister, is this cat yours? You’re actually raising a cat?”

“What’s wrong?” Bai Luoxue picked up the Little Calico Cat, which curled up peacefully in her soft embrace. “Is it strange?”

“Of course it’s strange! Senior Sister, you usually don’t even care about people—no, you can’t even take care of yourself, yet you’re raising a cat?”

“It’s very obedient and doesn’t need much care.” Bai Luoxue thought Lan Shanshan felt that raising a cat was troublesome.

“No, it’s not about whether it’s troublesome or not, it’s just…” Lan Shanshan wanted to say more, but in the end, she just sighed. “Forget it, business first, business first.”

As she spoke, Lan Shanshan’s eyes gradually became serious. “Senior Sister, the Elders in the Sect asked me to ask you why you opened a Tofu Shop in Luo City? Why haven’t you continued searching for Lin Xun, or returned to the Sect?”

The Huanxi Sect had the largest chain of brothels in the entire Myriad Laws World and had many eyes and ears; Bai Luoxue’s presence in Luo City had long been known to the Huanxi Sect.

Bai Luoxue said calmly, “I cannot say.”

“You cannot say?” Lan Shanshan was a bit dazed.

“Yes, I promised him. I cannot say.” Bai Luoxue nodded.

“Them? Male or female? Senior Sister, how did you meet? You’re so silly, Senior Sister; you haven’t been tricked, have you? Is your body still intact, Senior Sister?”

Lan Shanshan kept shaking Bai Luoxue’s shoulders.

The Little Calico Cat in Bai Luoxue’s arms thought its owner was being bullied, so it let out a “meow” and swiped its little paws at Lan Shanshan.

Bai Luoxue shook her head. “I cannot say; he will be angry.”

“Why? Senior Sister! Do you not even trust me anymore? I’m your only best friend in the Huanxi Sect. Senior Sister, I’m your only Junior Sister. How could you do this…”

Lan Shanshan made a gesture as if she were about to cry, her eyes already starting to mist over.

Although Lan Shanshan’s beauty wasn’t even half of Bai Luoxue’s, she was still considered very good-looking (it couldn’t be helped, Bai Luoxue’s beauty was just too high).

Moreover, because she had cultivated Charm Techniques since childhood, her crying now carried a seductive charm that made people feel pity for her.

“I really cannot say.” Bai Luoxue reached out and wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes. “However, I haven’t forgotten Master’s last words.”

“Then Senior Sister, you…”

Suddenly, Lan Shanshan seemed to realize something.

Lan Shanshan and Bai Luoxue shared the same Master, but Bai Luoxue was being groomed as the future leader of the Huanxi Sect, while Lan Shanshan was being trained as the right-hand person to assist her.

The two had lived together since childhood. Initially, Lan Shanshan was indeed very jealous of Bai Luoxue.

With a natural-born Bewitching Bone, extraordinary talent, and innate peerless beauty, she was so overly beautiful that she even had to wear a veil to cover her face.

It could be said that among the girls of the same generation, there wasn’t a single one who wasn’t jealous of Bai Luoxue.

But gradually, after Lan Shanshan resolved her inner conflict, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she was as close as a sister to Bai Luoxue (at least from her side).

Therefore, Lan Shanshan was also the one who understood Bai Luoxue best (at least she thought so, and it was true).

She knew her Senior Sister’s ‘dull and silly’ personality. Since she had promised their Master’s deathbed wish to control Lin Xun, her Senior Sister wouldn’t give up, let alone slack off.

And since her Senior Sister was staying in Luo City now, it meant…

“Senior Sister! Is that Lin Xun in Luo City? Have you found his location? Or even met him!” Lan Shanshan’s tone was serious.

Bai Luoxue couldn’t lie at all; it was hard for her to even trick a three-year-old child, let alone a sister she had grown up with.

Bai Luoxue just lowered her eyes slightly, and before she could even think of how to hide it, Lan Shanshan knew everything:

“As I thought! Senior Sister! You’ll get into trouble if you do this!

Those stinky Elders said that if you found any trace of Lin Xun, regardless of whether you successfully controlled him, you must notify the Sect immediately.

Senior Sister, by hiding it like this, you will suffer punishment according to the Sect’s rules.

What should we do, what should we do?”

Lan Shanshan was already pacing back and forth in the courtyard in a panic.

After a short while, Lan Shanshan seemed to have figured something out. “Senior Sister, let’s hurry back. We’ll just say you suspected Lin Xun was in Luo City and searched for a long time but ultimately found nothing.”

Bai Luoxue tilted her head and looked at her Junior Sister.

“Forget it, Senior Sister. You’d better not say anything at all. When the time comes, just leave everything to me to handle.”

Lan Shanshan sighed.

Asking her Senior Sister to lie—wasn’t that just nonsense?

It was more unreliable than a sow climbing a tree or a man not being lustful.

“Come on, let’s leave right now!” Lan Shanshan grabbed Bai Luoxue’s wrist and was about to leave. In Lan Shanshan’s heart, Lin Xun and the like weren’t important at all.

“No, I cannot leave.” Bai Luoxue shook her head. “I haven’t obtained him yet.”
