Is there something Junior Sister desperately needs in the upcoming secret realm? I wonder what it is? If only I knew, I could have Senior Brother and the others fetch it for her!
However, since my junior sister wants to go and see for herself, I can find an excuse to lure those two over.
The junior sister will probably see this and won't stop it.
That's what we'll do!
Thinking it over, he made up his mind. After delivering the message, he looked at Qiyue and said, "Junior Sister, Senior Brother, I happen to have something to do here. Could you lend me your nephew and this person for a while...?"
He paused here, realizing that he didn't even know who the other woman accompanying his junior sister was.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw his junior sister looking at him with a strange smile.
He almost bit his tongue: "Junior sister, it's creepy for your senior brother to look at you like that."
"Is that so? But since you said I am the most important person in your heart, then you might as well tell me what you need to do that requires you to borrow a woman that neither I nor you know."
The more she spoke, the deeper her smile became, as she stared intently at Shangguan Fu.
Shangguan Fu was just spouting nonsense, so how could he possibly know what he was up to? Looking at his junior sister's cunning appearance, he was momentarily at a loss for how to cover up his lie.
He could only feign profundity and say, "Well, this is a bit inconvenient."
Upon hearing this, Qiyue turned her head away, deliberately remaining silent, but thinking to herself.
【Why? 】
Shangguan Fu was unaware that Qiyue hadn't spoken. When he heard his junior sister ask, he replied, "Why? I really can't say the specific reason..."
[Really? Is it true that Senior Brother is genuinely unable to say, or is he lying to me like Senior Brother?]
Qiyue didn't turn around; in fact, she turned her back to Shangguan Fu. How could Shangguan Fu hear such words? He immediately became anxious and walked up to Qiyue while saying...
"No, that's not true. Why would I lie to my junior sister?"
[Really? Then tell me, senior brother, when did you start being able to hear my thoughts? Was it the first time we met?]
"Of course it is... ah!?"
Shangguan Fu suddenly snapped back to his senses and, seeing that Qiyue's mouth was not open at all, he immediately forced an awkward yet polite smile.
"Junior Sister, let me explain... no, listen to me!"
"Hmph, I'll listen to your excuses."
Qi Yue looked at Shangguan Fu with a smile. She thought to herself, "No wonder they all broke their personas so quickly. It turns out they could all hear her inner thoughts."
Looking at his junior sister's expression, Shangguan Fu opened his mouth, but ultimately kept it closed. Since things had come to this point, there was no need for him to explain anymore; after all, his junior sister was so smart that she had already guessed everything.
He's so pitiful. If his master and the others knew he was the one who exposed this, they'd definitely give him a good beating...
Shangguan Fu pursed his lips.
Qiyue said, "It's been almost a hundred years now. Fourth Senior Brother, you guys are really something, keeping me completely in the dark."
Shangguan Fu knew he was in the wrong, so he remained silent, just listening to Qiyue speak with his head down like a quail.
"No wonder you all became so clever. You didn't hold back when you attacked Xia Wanqing, especially Master. He actually went to such great lengths for me and even helped me snatch back my spiritual root. So you knew all along."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you guys are really something."
She muttered to herself with a sneer, and Shangguan Fu couldn't help but speak up: "That's not how it is. Actually, the Supreme's kindness to you isn't entirely because he can hear your thoughts. The fact that you can change our fate is mostly because you are our junior sister."
"Our time together back then was genuine, so please don't think the worst of it, Junior Sister."
At this point, Qiyue didn't care about manners anymore and slapped Shangguan Fu on the head: "Is not being able to fake it your reason for deceiving me? Or are you afraid that if I leave, you will lose your chance to change things?"
She was telling the truth.
If she hadn't known about this, she certainly wouldn't have thought of it, but now she does.
Shangguan Fu dared not speak. Qi Yue suddenly remembered something. Her master, senior brothers and sisters were all the people she was closest to and cared about the most. Did that mean that anyone close to her could hear her thoughts?
She recalled the strange behavior she had when she first met Mingye after returning to the Wanshi Shengzong sect. At first, she attributed all his concern, protection, and attentiveness to her master.
But now she thought about it again. Mingye was a disciple accepted by her master on behalf of her grandmaster, and he was her uncle. No matter how you looked at it, she shouldn't try to please him.
Unless, like her senior brothers, she can hear her innermost thoughts...
She was startled and her gaze fell on Yuan Zhi, who was not far away.
He waved to her.
"come over."
Upon hearing this, Yuanzhi immediately ran over obediently.
Looking at the obedient Yuan Zhi, Qi Yue raised her hand and set up a barrier: "Tell me, can you also hear my thoughts?"
"Eh?" Yuan Zhi's eyes widened, first looking blankly before turning to Shangguan Fu beside him: "Fourth Uncle, you and the other Uncles..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Fu nodded: "Not just me, but also your grandmaster."
"..." Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi was stunned, and then he knelt down with a thud.
She looked up at Qiyue with some worry and fear, and whispered, "Master."
He looked so pitiful and wronged, as if he was afraid that Qiyue would blame him.
Qi Yue sighed and rubbed her temples. "Tell me honestly when this happened. If you explain it clearly, I will not blame you."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi felt relieved: "Yes, Master."
"Speaking of which, it seems to have started from the day I met my grandmaster."
"That's right, it was that day."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Fu and Qiyue exchanged a glance, and Qiyue understood.
Yes, that was the day I accepted him as my disciple.
"That's right."
"Um."
The two people beside them nodded in agreement.
This made Qiyue quite alert. Fortunately, she hadn't taken on any disciples casually. However, there was one more person, Ji Su, who was a disciple she had asked her seventh senior brother to take on. She wondered if he could hear her.
She was worried, and her brows were furrowed.
Until Lou Xuanzhi, Le Luoxi and others arrived one after another, Shangguan Fu disregarded all respect for teachers and the proper etiquette of seniority and rank, and cast a gloating and sympathetic look at Lou Xuanzhi.
The only thing missing is that the words "You're doomed" are practically written all over your face.
Lou Xuanzhi frowned, made a mental note of it, and was thinking about how to teach the fourth brother a lesson when a faint voice entered his ears.
"When Master brought me back to the mountain and accepted me as his disciple, it was because he could hear my innermost thoughts, wasn't it?"
Lou Xuanzhi's expression immediately changed, he stopped in his tracks, and a look of remorse crossed his face.
He looked like he wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.
