"Palace Master, are we really going to send out all our forces just to kill Ye Qiu? Isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill?"
The man spoke cautiously, keeping his head down the entire time.
"Nanfeng, are you still not awake?" the black-robed old man roared. "Qin Xiang is at the Spirit Sea Realm, yet she was completely powerless against Ye Qiu. This means that the kid's realm is probably on par with mine."
How could we dare to underestimate such a person? You must prepare immediately; there can be no unforeseen circumstances this time.”
"Palace Master, perhaps we could try a different approach. How about we find an opportunity to capture the woman next to Ye Qiu first?"
Nanfeng made the suggestion.
"Would such a person care about the life or death of a woman? Besides, if you fail to capture her, you will alert the enemy, which would be a greater loss than gain. Don't waste my time any longer. If you don't act now, you will die immediately."
The old man in black robes exuded a murderous aura.
"Your Highness, I will immediately gather the men."
Nanfeng dared not say another word and quickly left.
...
At the same time, Ye Qiu was chatting with Xia Hongdou and the other two.
Xia Hongdou and Qingniao were worried that the Dark Temple would not give up and would continue to harass them, so Xia Hongdou suggested that they move.
However, this suggestion was rejected by Qingniao and Ye Qiu.
“Red Bean, unless we leave Jiangnan, we will be found no matter where we move. Why move?”
The bluebird spoke earnestly.
"Why don't we move out more discreetly?" Xia Hongdou whispered.
“You’re mistaken,” said Qingniao. “A force like the Dark Temple must have already established connections between the black and white factions in Jiangnan, so we basically have nowhere to hide.”
"What should we do then?" Xia Hongdou panicked even more.
"Ask him."
The bluebird looked at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "It's simple. Fight a battle, and the winner will be king and the loser will be a bandit. The loser will die and disappear, while the winner will enjoy peace."
"That's exactly what I'm afraid of." Xia Hongdou clenched her jade-like hands tightly: "Right now, only you and Sister Qingniao have the fighting power. Coco and I can't help you."
"You've reminded me," Ye Qiu said. "How about this? You take Coco and leave for a while. Once the Dark Temple issue is resolved, you can come back."
"No!" Xia Hongdou said hurriedly, "Ye Qiu, what do you mean? Do you think I, Xia Hongdou, am a coward who fears death?"
That's not what I meant.
"Is that what you mean?" Xia Hongdou's beautiful eyes were filled with tears. "Let me tell you, I, Xia Hongdou, am not a coward. Don't even think about driving me away."
"But I'm scared."
Tang Keke pouted: "I thought that the fights between those thugs were the scariest thing in the world."
"Brother Ye, Sister Hongdou, and Sister Qingniao, I'm so scared! Can you teach me cultivation so I can protect myself?"
"Uh... Coco, are you really scared?"
The bluebird was suspicious.
"I'm really scared, Sister Bluebird. Look, I'm almost crying from fear."
Tang Keke tried hard to squeeze out tears, but after struggling for a while, she couldn't manage to.
Qingniao was both amused and exasperated, and said, "Alright, alright, you just want to cultivate, right? That's easy. Just become Ye Qiu's disciple, and he will naturally teach you."
"I don't want to." Tang Keke immediately refused: "If I'm going to become an apprentice, it'll be to Sister Qingniao, not Brother Ye."
"Why?" the bluebird asked, puzzled. "Your brother Ye will be hundreds of times stronger than me in the future."
"That won't work either, because if I become his disciple, my seniority will be lower than his, and then I can't be his woman anymore. I won't do that, Sister Bluebird, don't trick me."
"Ugh, you're overthinking it." (ъìQυGΕtV.net)
The bluebird chuckled dryly.
She hadn't expected that Tang Keke could see through even this; she really did have such ulterior motives.
"Coco, what's wrong with you? Do you actually like Ye Qiu?"
Xia Hongdou stared at Tang Keke.
"Oh dear, Sister Hongdou, how could you ask me this question in front of Brother Ye? It's so embarrassing."
Tang Keke blushed.
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me."
Xia Hongdou glared at Tang Keke.
Tang Keke glanced at Ye Qiu quickly, then got up and ran away without saying a word.
Xia Hongdou knew the answer from her expression and actions.
"Ye Qiu, you're a bastard."
Xia Hongdou gritted her teeth.
"What did I do now?"
Ye Qiu was completely bewildered.
"It's all your fault," Xia Hongdou said resentfully. "You've already messed with me, and now even my sister is bewitched by you. Are you really planning to take both of us sisters in?"
"I'm innocent." Ye Qiu was both amused and exasperated. "It wasn't my choice. If I had to choose, I wouldn't even want you..."
"Huh? Even me? You dare to say it and see what happens."
Xia Hongdou grabbed a large bowl from the table, as if she would smash it over Ye Qiu's head if he said anything.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around." Qingniao smoothed things over: "Ye Qiu, really, you need to find a chance to explain things clearly to Keke, so that the little girl doesn't keep misunderstanding that you have feelings for her too."
The longer this drags on, the more it will hurt her; you understand that.
“Then I’ll go find her now and explain things to her,” Ye Qiu said.
"Go ahead, but speak politely and tactfully."
Bluebird reminds you.
"Yes, I'll try my best."
Ye Qiu got up, went upstairs to the second floor, and found Tang Keke.
"Oh, Brother Ye, what brings you here?"
Tang Keke was pleasantly surprised.
"Coco, I came to tell you that actually I..."
"Stop." Tang Keke immediately raised her hand: "I know what you want to say. You want to distance yourself from me and tell me that you don't actually have any other feelings for me, is that right?"
