"I……"

When Qin Wan met Murong Yan's burning gaze, her face flushed red.

Her eyes were darting around, and she didn't dare look at him...

Seeing her flustered reaction, Murong Yan's thin lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

"What does Junior Sister think of Senior Brother?" Murong Yan suddenly asked.

"Senior brother is naturally excellent." Qin Wan didn't react for a moment and answered subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yan's smile deepened.

"Does Junior Sister like Senior Brother?"

"certainly.

Halfway through her sentence, Qin Wan suddenly stopped, finally realizing belatedly that something was wrong.

However, even before she finished speaking, Murong Yan got the answer he wanted, and his eyes were filled with tenderness and doting as he looked at Qin Wan.

"Although my junior sister doesn't like me, I secretly admire Wan'er."

"!!!"

Qin Wan suddenly looked up at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of surprise, joy, and disbelief.

Murong Yan was amused by her adorable reaction, his lips curled up, and his eyes were filled with pleasure.

"It's a pity my junior sister doesn't like me..." Murong Yan said, feigning disappointment.

"No, that's not it," Qin Wan explained hastily.

"Hmm? What is it? What does Junior Sister want to say?" Murong Yan asked deliberately.

"I... I don't dislike my senior brother, I really don't," Qin Wan explained urgently.

"There's no such thing as disliking it..."

"Does Junior Sister mean to say that you only have feelings for me as a senior brother?" Murong Yan's face showed a faint sadness and sorrow.

Seeing this, Qin Wan's expression became even more anxious.

She quickly waved her hand and hurriedly explained, "No, it's not the bond between senior and junior brothers, it really isn't."

What is that?

Murong Yan climbed up the pole, his burning gaze fixed on Qin Wan, his eyes revealing undisguised joy and anticipation.

Meeting Murong Yan's gaze, Qin Wan gritted her teeth and blurted out...

"I, I also love Senior Brother Xinyue."

Having finally received the answer he wanted, Murong Yan could no longer hide his joy...

[Murong Yan's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 92.]

Suddenly, a pair of large hands wrapped around her slender waist, gently pulling her into their embrace...

Below her face was the man's broad, powerful chest, and the rapid, trembling sound of his heartbeat...

"Silly girl."

A man's pleasant voice, tinged with a slight smile, came through the room.

Where Murong Yan couldn't see, Qin Wan's lips curled up, her eyes filled with undisguised triumphant smiles.

-

After the incident at the Law Enforcement Hall that day, Feng Yi secluded himself in Shangqing Peak and did not come out.

The reconstruction of the Ascension Ladder seemed to be nearing completion, and after expressing his apologies to her, Murong Yan disappeared for a while.

Qin Wan was left with nothing to do on Wuwang Peak every day, and could only hang out with Jiang Liufeng and Nie Xiao, watching the two of them bicker and argue.

"Junior sister..."

The topic suddenly shifted to her.

"Hmm?" Qin Wan replied absentmindedly.

"I heard that the Demon Princess has been frequently visiting the Upper Peak of our Tianyuan Sect these past few days. Junior Sister, would you like to go and take a look?" Jiang Liufeng asked with a gossipy look on his face.

"The Demon Princess?" Qin Wan was taken aback, looking at Jiang Liufeng and Nie Xiao with a strange expression.

How did you two know?

"I saw it with my own eyes," Nie Xiao said honestly. "My senior brother and I have seen it several times."

Qin Wan: "???"

"Is the Demon Princess really this arrogant?" Qin Wan asked subconsciously.

"Junior sister misunderstands. That demon princess isn't really brainless. She does use magical artifacts to conceal her aura and form. It's just that my junior brother and I have special identities, which allows us to see through those artifacts that conceal our auras."

"Special identity?" Qin Wan's focus was quite unusual.

Jiang Liufeng's smile remained unchanged. "Junior sister may not know, but the Nie family, to which junior brother belongs, is of the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan. Although it has been passed down for thousands of years, the bloodline is now thin."

"But the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's innate spiritual eyes can see through all illusions and deceptions in this world."

"Especially my junior brother's nose..."

"As soon as the Demon Princess appeared at Tianyuan Sect, my junior brother could smell the strong demonic aura emanating from her."

"And on that day in the inheritance hall of the Abyss Secret Realm, it was also thanks to my junior brother's pair of spiritual eyes that I was able to see through the illusion."

Qin Wan: "..."

Qin Wan looked Nie Xiao up and down. Although he was fair-skinned and handsome, he didn't look like a fox spirit at all.

On the contrary, Jiang Liufeng... is more like a fox, cunning and clever.

"Now that you two senior brothers have discovered the whereabouts of the Demon Princess, why don't you tell Father about it?" Qin Wan asked.

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiao looked at Jiang Liufeng and said, "Senior Brother told me not to say it."

Qin Wan looked at Jiang Liufeng with curiosity.

Jiang Liufeng smiled and looked at Qin Wan. "Master is too busy. I think Junior Sister is fully capable of handling this matter so as not to trouble Master."

Qin Wan: "..." You just love making things worse.

However, Qin Wan certainly did not disappoint Jiang Liufeng...

"Where is he now?" Qin Wan asked.

Jiang Liufeng looked at Nie Xiao with a smile.

Nie Xiao: "Shangqing Peak".

As soon as Nie Xiao finished speaking, Qin Wan's figure disappeared in front of the two of them.

Looking in the direction Qin Wan left, Nie Xiao's face showed a faint look of unease.

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate to let my junior sister go alone?"

"Why not?" Jiang Liufeng asked with a look of anticipation.

"Junior Sister is currently only at the peak of Foundation Establishment..."

“True Lord Fengyi is now at the Nascent Soul stage, and even that Demon Realm princess is at the Core Formation stage. No matter who she encounters, Junior Sister can’t beat her.” A faint look of worry appeared in Nie Xiao’s eyes.

"Junior brother, have you perhaps forgotten where you are?"

“Tianyuan Sect,” Nie Xiao answered instinctively.

"Even within the sect, if True Monarch Fengyi wanted to kill someone to silence them, it would be too late by the time the two elders and Junior Brother Murong arrived."

Jiang Liufeng shook his head and said, "Junior brother, you are still too naive."

"What do you mean?" Nie Xiao looked at Jiang Liufeng with a blank expression.

"You underestimate your junior sister." With that, Jiang Liufeng picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

"They're gone."

Watching Jiang Liufeng's departing figure, Nie Xiao subconsciously got up and chased after him.

"Senior Brother, where are we going?"

"Of course, I'm going to see a good show."

"Senior Brother, you really are worried about Junior Sister!" Nie Xiao said knowingly, looking at Shangqing Peak not far away.

Jiang Liufeng: "..." Junior brother, you're really naive.

At the foot of Shangqing Peak, outside the barrier.

As soon as Princess Mo You of the Demon Realm stepped out of the barrier, she was met with a sword light that forced her to retreat.

While dodging, she drew her spirit sword and engaged in combat with her opponent...

"Bang!"

"boom!"

"Clang clang clang!"

The sounds of swords clashing and spiritual energy colliding were chaotically intertwined.

Mo You stared at the exquisitely beautiful woman in front of him with a grim expression.

"Who are you?"

In response to Mo You, Qin Wan launched an even fiercer attack, her swordplay growing increasingly deadly...

Mo You's eyes were dark and unfathomable, and she showed no mercy as she struck, a layer of demonic energy silently coating the sword in her hand...
