This was the second time Xia Yunxue had called Pastor Yi "Brother Yi," and this time she added another sentence.
"Third Senior Brother."
Yi Mu's gaze immediately changed, and he looked at Xia Yunxue with a probing look.
Hu Tianqin sensed that something was off, so he put down his bowl.
Xia Yunxue said softly, "Senior brother, I want to talk to you."
The woman who appeared out of nowhere made Hu Tianqin feel uncomfortable all over.
But Yi Mu agreed to her request, "Let's go somewhere else."
Hu Tianqin pulled Yi Mu back, but he didn't say anything; something flickered in his eyes.
Yi Mu patted his arm: "When you go home later, take Shao Shao and Zi Ruo to the academy, and stew a chicken for dinner to nourish the two children."
Hearing him say that, Hu Tianqin suddenly felt relieved.
He watched Yi Mu and the woman walk out, carefully recalling the emotions that had flashed through his mind just a moment ago.
That intense emotion that made his ears burn, that dark thought that he wanted that woman to disappear on the spot.
If I'm not mistaken, it's jealousy.
Yi Mu had never looked at him with that kind of gaze before, yet he showed such a confused, bewildered, and delighted expression to a woman he had only met once.
Xia Yunxue and Yi Mu walked into a dark alley.
Yi Mu still harbored some wariness towards Xia Yunxue. He looked at this woman with delicate features and asked her, "How did you know she was mine?"
Xia Yunxue chuckled: "Senior brother, have you forgotten? Back in the valley, the eldest and second senior brothers always bullied you because you were young, and they would dress you up as a little girl. Before I was old enough to understand, I always called you senior sister."
That was the original owner's embarrassing past, and Yi Mu's face showed annoyance and shame at the right time.
Xia Yunxue felt a deep longing for the past.
"Back then, although we were forced to practice martial arts by our master every day, which was very tiring, and everyone called us villains, we were so happy back then."
In the secluded valley, there was no deceit or treachery among the fellow disciples; the bad was clear-cut, and the good was thorough.
A person's appearance may change, but some of their subtle habits will not.
Yi Mu's junior sister, when she is sentimental, she habitually bites her lip, her eyes droop, her eyebrows droop, and her expression is very similar to the sickly Xi Shi described in the book.
Xia Yunxue looked up and saw disbelief on Yi Mu's face.
She sniffed and threw herself into Yi Mu's arms, just like before.
"Senior brother, I died, and then I came back to life."
Yi Mu carefully stroked the girl's black hair, feeling a joy of having regained what was lost.
That was the original owner's feeling; nothing is more joyful than having the person you love standing in front of you again.
Thank you for still being alive.
The senior and junior disciples recognized each other, and Xia Yunxue was curious as to why Yi Mu was dressed as a woman.
Yimu told her what had happened between him and the Crown Prince.
Xia Yunxue spat in disgust.
"That lecherous Crown Prince dares to covet my senior brother. I hope he never gets the throne."
Yi Mu said to Xia Yunxue, "You have to help your senior brother cover this up. Once this storm passes, he will return to normal."
Xia Yunxue was very happy. She looked forward to the day when she would go back to Cixin Hall with Yi Mu and visit the cabin in the woods.
When the two parted, Xia Yunxue remembered something and sighed to Yi Mu.
“Senior brother, your nominal husband looked familiar to me when I took a look just now. Now I suddenly realized that he is the younger brother of the former leader of the martial arts alliance.”
No wonder Hu Tianjin was able to sense the presence of the top assassin; it turns out he was also a martial arts master. This is going to be interesting.
Xia Yunxue smiled.
"Actually, he saved my life back then. Do you remember I told you that I would marry no one but him when I grew up? But fate is cruel, and I already have someone I like now."
Yi Mu teased her, "Is it that Sixth Prince?"
Xia Yunxue shyly covered her face, "Senior brother, don't let his fierce appearance fool you, he's actually a very nice person."
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, he understands.
