So the trio became a group of five. Luo Yi's eyes darkened, especially when he saw Ling Yeyao. Yun Ruoyue could sense the resistance and awkwardness on his face.
Ling Yeyao wasn't much better off. He also disliked Luo Yi, glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally with disdain in his eyes.
Each of the five individuals harbored their own ulterior motives and had their own ideas.
"Qingqing, did your master just let you out so easily?"
Yun Ruoyue approached Shen Muqing and asked in a low voice. She had seen the ambiguous marks on Shen Muqing's body. As a transmigrator, she was very familiar with what those marks represented.
"Otherwise what?" Shen Muqing met her lecherous gaze. "What are you thinking? Don't think about it."
"Qingqing, you're amazing! You're really awesome."
Unexpectedly, her sister actually won over the Void Immortal Venerable. It really made her proud and brought her honor, even though not many people knew about it.
Just as the two were about to delve deeper into the topic, Jiang Duxue, standing behind them, shamelessly asked, "What are you talking about? Can I join you?"
Shen Muqing and Yun Ruoyue exchanged a glance, remained silent, and continued walking forward as if they hadn't heard her words.
Jiang Duxue was turned away and stomped her feet in anger. She ran to Ling Yeyao's side and said in a spoiled tone, "Senior brother, look, they're isolating me."
“Ah Yue”.
Ling Yeyao shouted loudly from behind, his tone subtly accusing.
“Ah Yue, Du Xue is also a girl, you should include her when you chat.”
Shen Muqing turned around and looked at him coldly. Yun Ruoyue had a mission and couldn't refuse Ling Yeyao, but she could, so she spoke without hesitation.
"I thought Jiang Duxue only liked to stick to you and only played with you. It's clear that she's the one isolating the two of us."
"Right, Yueyue?"
"Shen Muqing, you're talking nonsense. I'm not! It's clearly you and Senior Sister who are ignoring me." Jiang Duxue pouted and said aggrievedly, her wet eyes looking only at Ling Yeyao. "Senior Brother, you have to believe me."
It is said that three women make a drama, but Jiang Duxue is worth three women; she can put on a wonderful show all by herself.
The morning sun was gentle, its warm rays shining on Yun Ruoyue's face; at that moment, she was truly the darling of heaven.
Ling Yeyao stared at her, mesmerized. This was the first time he had truly looked at Yun Ruoyue closely. He hadn't expected her to be so dazzling. But as he gazed at her, the words he uttered were utterly shocking.
"Muqing, let Duxue have a turn. She's the youngest in our family."
"Sorry, I never let myself be wronged," Shen Muqing said disdainfully. She noticed a blank stare between Ling Yeyao's ears—was that something a human being could say?
Seeing that Shen Muqing's words were unpleasant, Ling Yeyao turned his gaze to Yun Ruoyue, "Ayue, you should keep an eye on Muqing and let her play with Duxue."
Yun Ruoyue's expression instantly turned troubled. She feigned distress, as if about to cry, and said softly, "Ayao, have you forgotten that Qingqing's master is Immortal Venerable Xu Lin? When we left, our master specifically instructed us not to let Qingqing suffer any injustice, otherwise when we go back..."
The words were left unsaid, leaving room for imagination, but everyone knew what the unspoken words meant.
"That's right, my master said that anyone who dares to wrong me will suffer the consequences when we get back."
Shen Muqing's tail was practically wagging in the air as he spoke, his little expression utterly ridiculous.
Luo Yi's expression twitched. How come he didn't know that his master had come to see him off when he left? But that woman named Jiang Duxue was really hypocritical, and so was this guy surnamed Ling.
In the end, Jiang Duxue could only shut up and follow behind them, her expression dejected. Ling Yeyao noticed her unhappiness and comforted her.
"Junior sister, it's okay, I can talk to you."
"Thank you, senior brother. You're the only one who's ever been kind to me."
Ling Yeyao was overjoyed by these words and kept showing concern for Jiang Duxue the whole way, as if he wanted to put these words into practice.
Shen Muqing couldn't bear to look at her. "You're the only one who can tolerate this. If it were me, I would have slapped her a few times."
"Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. I'm used to dealing with idiots, and I can't take them too seriously."
"Money is hard to earn and life is hard to endure"—this aptly describes Yun Ruoyue's current predicament.
Before long, they arrived at Qingyun City, a bustling and prosperous city with a constant stream of pedestrians.
Shen Muqing found it quite unusual; he hadn't been this relaxed in a long time.
"Yueyue, this doesn't look like a place with monsters." Shen Muqing walked to a jewelry store and picked up a piece to look at.
"Danger often lies beneath a calm surface."
Luo Yi followed on Yun Ruoyue's left, Shen Muqing on her right, and the remaining two followed behind.
"Let's find an inn to stay in first."
Yun Ruoyue pondered what the best course of action would be, and decided to ask someone for details.
"good!"
Just as the three were about to leave, Jiang Duxue started acting up, "Senior brother, I want this, can you buy it for me?"
"Sure, junior sister, what else do you want? I'll buy it for you."
"Hey, are you two out of your minds? Didn't you hear Yueyue say we should go to the inn first? Anyone who didn't know better would think we were here for sightseeing."
Shen Muqing didn't tolerate them at all. In front of everyone, the two of them, oblivious to the world around them, openly flirted, especially since the person in question was right next to her.
"Senior brother~" Jiang Duxue gripped the thing in her hand tightly, her green tea face used to perfection.
"Junior sister, I'll buy it for you after things are over, okay?"
Ling Yeyao didn't dare to go too far, so she could only go along with Shen Muqing and didn't dare to talk back, since she was her master's only disciple.
"Okay." Jiang Duxue turned back three times as she left, looking longingly at the little trinket she had put back.
Inside the inn, the five sat at a table. Shen Muqing said boldly, "Waiter, bring tea, and all your best wine and dishes."
Her gaze lingered on Ling Yeyao and Jiang Duxue, a malicious smile playing on her lips. "He'll pay the bill."
She pointed at Ling Yeyao, who paused, his hand still holding the teacup, and remained silent.
"Senior brother, since you're so generous, we won't argue with you about this meal. Please treat us."
The waiter looked at Ling Yeyao to ask for his opinion, and after receiving his confirmation, the waiter quickly ran to the kitchen; a big order had arrived.
"Let's toast our senior brother and thank him for the meal."
Shen Muqing winked mischievously. "Aren't you just burning through your money? Then I'll burn it all for you."
"Thank you, Master Uncle!" Luo Yi raised his cup in response. His form of address revealed his attitude towards Ling Yeyao; he was not yet qualified to be her master's Daoist partner.
Shen Muqing enjoyed the meal the most; her stomach was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.
Have you heard about what's been happening lately?
"How come I haven't heard about this? I don't even dare to go out at night now."
Is it really that strange?
"If you don't believe me, then you should marry a wife and see. Then you'll know."
"Hey, I'm telling you, third brother, you're not the kind of person who's causing trouble."
"You didn't believe me? I'm here to give you a solution."
"Get lost, do you think I've lived too long?"
Hahahahahahaha.
