At the entrance of the Vulture's Courtyard, the night stars were like a curtain, and the silver moon was like frost.
The young female bandit's eyes, which held seven parts aloofness and three parts a smile, shone brightly in the moonlight. Although one could still tell she was smiling, they were utterly indifferent, carrying a sense of rejection and distance that kept people at arm's length, as if one could never truly get close to her.
"Feng Yao, why...why did you say that?" Yan Hanxing pretended not to understand, a hint of hurt hidden in her eyes.
"I was afraid you might misunderstand me. Actually, I've said this to every cultivator around me," Ji Fengyao said with a grin, her face now showing a more nonchalant expression. She continued as she walked, swinging her little hand, "I guess it's because I'm a bit narcissistic, but it's also mostly to avoid suspicion."
Then she turned around and pointed very seriously to the tip of her nose, saying, "Because, I am a married woman."
Yan Hanxing stopped: "..."
He remained speechless for a long time, watching the little bandit girl skip and hop happily into the Vulture's courtyard.
She actually has a cultivation partner?!
The next day, Ji Fengyao went to visit Dongdan Shuiyue at the villa. She deliberately did not call Yan Hanxing, and Yan Hanxing did not secretly follow her.
Bai Yusheng followed Ji Fengyao like a thief, constantly looking back and glancing around, attracting frequent glances from passersby.
"Yu Sheng, are you going to steal?" Ji Fengyao couldn't stand it anymore.
"Uh..." Bai Yusheng stiffened awkwardly, following closely beside the little bandit, and asked telepathically, winking and making faces, "Miss, that guy, Senior Yan, did he come along?"
"No," Ji Fengyao gave him a pair of glaring eyes and said lazily, "Even if he had followed us, seeing your sneaky appearance, he should have been more wary and hidden himself better. Did he expect you to discover his flaws?"
Bai Yusheng: "..."
That's because he used to be a pampered young master and has no experience in the ways of the world.
But then he remembered Qian Youying, and he was completely speechless.
"Calm down. Just treat him like a powerful guest has come to your house. You need to be respectful but also wary." Ji Fengyao, with her hands behind her back, strode around and calmly warned Bai Yusheng, "Even if Yan Hanxing is normal and there's nothing wrong with him, don't treat him like a thief. Otherwise, if you arouse his murderous intent, even if you're from the same gang, he can still bully you and kill you with his big brother's dirty tricks."
Bai Yusheng, having grown up in the mortal realm, naturally knew the rules of the cultivation world. She nodded repeatedly in agreement: "I understand, thank you for reminding me, Miss. I just... Senior Yan's cultivation is really too high, and I haven't been able to calm down yet."
The two entered the villa one after the other, where Zhuang Shaoze was dozing off on a recliner.
Upon seeing Ji Fengyao arrive, Zhuang Shaoze quickly stood up to greet her: "Miss."
"How is she?" Ji Fengyao asked casually.
“It’s very quiet; it’s been lying inside the whole time,” Zhuang Shaoze replied.
"How could she not be quiet? A living person has been stolen from her since midnight, and neither the Dongdan family nor the He family has sent a single person to look for her. I guess in their minds, she's already a dead person by now," Bai Yusheng teased loudly on purpose.
Upon hearing this, Dongdan Shuiyue, who was inside the room, felt her lower body grip the bedsheet tightly with her hand, and she gritted her teeth in silent resentment:
Sixth Elder, Dongdan Yinxiang!
What you have bet on me today, I will repay you many times over in the future!
Ji Fengyao gave Bai Yusheng a "well done" look.
Afterwards, she straightened her expression, applied the human skin mask, and entered Dongdan Shuiyue's room.
