Once those two annoying people were out of sight, Shangguan Xi was so happy she almost jumped up. "Senior Sister, you were so cool just now! I used to think about making you my junior sister, but now I want you to be my senior sister!"
When Shangguan Xi first met Xu Yuehuai, she thought this young girl was a weak and unyielding woman. However, as she got to know her better, she discovered that Xu Yuehuai was not as simple as she appeared on the surface. She seemed innocent on the surface, but she had a very cunning heart inside.
Xu Yuehuai smiled but didn't say anything. The two walked along the road, intending to go to the library to look up some ancient books. After entering, Baili Xiuwen and Fu Ziyi were waiting inside. When Xu Yuehuai came in, Baili Xiuwen nudged Fu Ziyi's lower back with his elbow, trying to wake him up.
Shangguan Xi greeted them warmly, "Why are you two here today? Isn't the Fifth Elder here?"
Baili Xiuwen put on his signature smile and said, "Senior Sister, is there something you need from the Fifth Elder? I can pass it on to him."
"It's nothing. I didn't expect the Fifth Elder to be so busy." Shangguan Xi waved his hand, slowly turned around and left, muttering to himself.
Baili Xiuwen didn't mince words and bluntly said, "He overslept today and didn't want to come, so he sent me and Fu Ziyi to guard this place."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xi smiled and became interested in Baili Xiuwen. She walked gracefully back to Baili Xiuwen, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the man. "Junior Brother Baili is truly honest, quite adorable."
Baili Xiuwen calmly removed the hand from his face. "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister. If you need any help here, please let me know."
After saying that, Baili Xiuwen took a step back to prevent Shangguan Xi from touching him again.
Fu Ziyi ignored the two people beside her from beginning to end, her eyes fixed on Xu Yuehuai. After entering, she only glanced at Shangguan Xi before leaving; she didn't want to watch Shangguan Xi flirt with someone in front of her—it was simply unbearable to watch.
Shangguan Xi didn't see anything wrong with it.
Perhaps it was because Fu Ziyi's gaze was too intense that Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but turn around and glance at him. As for her relationship with this group of people, apart from the rather strained relationship with Ji Yuanchi and Brother Pu, she felt that she hadn't offended Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen.
Especially Fu Ziyi, who looked at her as if she were some kind of scumbag, which left Xu Yuehuai completely baffled.
She picked out a book and slowly started reading it in the corner. This time, unlike before, she was reading a book about talismans. Recently, she had felt that she had hit a bottleneck in her understanding of talismans, but she couldn't find a way to break through. That's why she came to the library to see if there was anything that could help her.
Shangguan Xi didn't go too far. Seeing Baili Xiuwen retreat, she couldn't help but smile, then turned and left, placing one hand at her side, level with her shoulder, and waved goodbye to Baili Xiuwen, "Bye-bye, I'll come find you to play again later. You said it yourself, if Senior Sister needs anything in the library, she can ask you."
Baili Xiuwen suddenly realized that he had shot himself in the foot, but what could he do? He had already said it, and he couldn't take it back.
Shangguan Xi walked to Xu Yuehuai's side, and the two exchanged a few words. Fu Ziyi didn't know what they were saying, as Xu Yuehuai was blocked from his view and he couldn't see what they were talking about.
After Shangguan Xi left, Baili Xiuwen finally had time to look at Fu Ziyi beside him. Seeing that Fu Ziyi was staring at Xu Yuehuai as if he had lost his soul, he sneered and said, "What can you get by just watching here? If you want it, hurry up and make your move. What if your senior sister takes a liking to you?"
Baili Xiuwen delivered his persuasive words with practiced ease. In the past few days, he felt that his rhetoric had improved considerably, and he could always make fun of Fu Ziyi, which was a very enjoyable thing.
Fu Zi did not respond; he had grown accustomed to Baili Xiuwen's irritating attitude.
After Shangguan Xi left, Fu Ziyi was finally able to see Xu Yuehuai, but the two unexpectedly met eyes.
Xu Yuehua frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes. She put down her book, walked to Fu Ziyi's side, and asked with a probing look, "Why are you two avoiding me? Am I that scary?"
Xu Yuehuai's words were indeed true. The peaks where the disciples lived were very close to each other, and they would run into each other several times when they left the peaks. Xu Yuehuai had bumped into everyone except the two people in front of him. It was as if they were deliberately avoiding him.
Baili Xiuwen spread his hands innocently, "I'm not avoiding you, ask him if you want to."
Baili Xiuwen stood to the side with amusement, intending to watch the show.
Fu Ziyi's eyes were filled with conflict. The moment he saw Xu Yuehuai, he thought of that adorable little boy, and his mind and eyes were filled with the image of that little boy saying that Xu Yuehuai was his mother.
"What about him?" Fu Ziyi finally asked after hesitating for a long time. Under normal circumstances, he felt that he could still get along with children.
For him to accept Xu Yuehuai again, he must first accept that little boy.
Xu Yuehuai narrowed her eyes slightly, "Who?"
"Your child." After seeing the mouth once, saying it a second time wasn't so hard to accept.
Xu Yuehuai was taken aback. She didn't remember telling Fu Ziyi that she had a child.
While Xu Yuehuai was still in a daze, Fu Ziyi seemed to have come to a realization, "You didn't abandon him, did you? When you fainted in Tianqi City, that little boy stayed by your side the whole time. He's your own child! How could you bear to part with him?"
When Fu Ziyi saw Xu Yuehuai's expression, he had a sudden thought and felt that Xu Yuehuai was an irresponsible mother. He couldn't care less about talking to Xu Yuehuai about anything else, as his mind was completely focused on where the child was.
Baili Xiuwen, who was standing to the side, was stunned by the conversation between the two, and his gaze kept shifting between Xu Yuehuai and Fu Ziyi.
Based on his words, Xu Yuehua recalled what happened that day, and a figure appeared in her mind: Yuan Shui, who had been enjoying delicious food and drinks in the space.
Xu Yuehuai immediately questioned Yuan Shui telepathically, "What did you do?"
Yuan Shui heard the noise outside and naturally knew what had happened. Feeling slightly guilty, he coughed twice and said, "I didn't do anything. Don't make a fuss."
Xu Yuehua narrowed her eyes. "You didn't do anything, yet you made Fu Ziyi show this expression. I advise you to hurry up and tell me. Didn't you see how much he cares about you? If I can't give an explanation soon, I'll die under his torturing gaze."
