"Wait! So, Junior Sister, you mean you and Senior Brother are together?"
Qian Ying found it hard to accept, rubbed her forehead, and took out a communication talisman to contact Chui Ming for some gossip, but she couldn't get through.
Never mind. Qian Ying put away the communication talisman, crossed her arms, and looked at Qin Si coldly: "Although you are my Senior Brother, I care more about Junior Sister. Junior Sister is young, and I need to vet you for her."
Qin Si's face was cold. His gaze fell on Qian Ying, and he transmitted a message to her silently: Are you too idle lately?
"Junior Sister, he's glaring at me!"
Qian Ying was completely unafraid and hid behind Bai Shengyi with a wronged look.
Where Bai Shengyi couldn't see, Qian Ying shot a fierce glare at Qin Si: You're threatening me! Threaten me again if you dare!
Unless you don't truly like Junior Sister, you'll only end up embarrassed.
Qian Ying was confident that her position in Junior Sister's heart was special.
As expected.
"Qin Si, don't bully Senior Sister. Senior Sister is doing this for my own good. Look, she's the only elder around me right now." Bai Shengyi raised an eyebrow slightly.
Qin Si saw the slyness in her eyes, couldn't help but stroke Bai Shengyi's head, and said obediently, "As you wish."
Turning around, his cold voice reached Qian Ying's ears, "Speak. What do you need me to do to be satisfied?"
Qian Ying shivered involuntarily.
Wasn't Senior Brother actually saying, "Shut up, if you dare to mess around and ruin my relationship, you'll pay with your life"?
"It's very simple. You make a Dao oath that you won't bully Junior Sister, won't flirt with other women, won't exchange flirtatious glances..."
Qian Ying rattled off a long list, and Bai Shengyi's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Senior Sister, this is unnecessary. He already made a Dao oath..."
Before she could finish the word "oath," Qin Si began to swear, saying with a serious expression, "I, Qin Si, swear that from this day forward, I will not use my cultivation to force Bai Shengyi to do anything she is unwilling to do, nor will I flirt with women other than Bai Shengyi... I will not let Bai Shengyi suffer any grievances with me. Even if one day I no longer like her..."
Qin Si frowned, "There won't be such a day."
"Who can say for sure?" Qian Ying said with a smile.
Qin Si looked at Bai Shengyi, who smiled but said nothing.
Qin Si had no choice but to reluctantly continue, "If one day I no longer like Bai Shengyi, I will still part with her amicably."
The oath was established. Qian Ying clapped her hands and exclaimed excitedly, "Alright, I'll go summon the fellow disciples. Our sect can prepare for the Dao Companion Ceremony... No, no, never mind. You two continue dating. Junior Sister is so young, maybe she'll meet someone even better..."
"Qian Ying!"
Qin Si felt that he couldn't keep this Junior Sister.
He frowned tightly, wanting to tell Qian Ying that it was impossible. Just then, Bai Shengyi suddenly held his hand, her lips curving into a slight smile.
"I, Bai Shengyi, swear that from this day forward, I will not use my cultivation to force Qin Si to do anything he is unwilling to do, nor will I..."
She repeated every word that Qin Si had just said.
"Ayi!"
Qin Si held her tightly in his arms, resting his chin on Bai Shengyi's shoulder, his phoenix eyes filled with a gentle smile.
It was as if the eternally frozen ice and snow had seen the warm sun of spring, willingly offering everything.
Qian Ying let out a soft hum. She knew that Junior Sister wasn't just saying this for Qin Si, but also for her.
It was because she had gone a bit too far just now.
"Fine, you two have a good relationship, and I'm the bad guy." Although Qian Ying said this, she was still very happy for Bai Shengyi and Qin Si. The more she looked at them, the more she felt they were a match made in heaven, incredibly well-matched.
Bai Shengyi bit her lip shyly, but the shyness quickly dissipated.
"Senior Sister, did you need me for something?"
"Oh, look at me, I almost forgot!" Qian Ying tapped her forehead, remembering the important matter. "I came to ask you, what kind of pill did you give Li Yihui? I couldn't tell at all!"
Qian Ying had been paying attention to Bai Shengyi's matches and naturally noticed the scene where Bai Shengyi gifted a pill to Li Yihui. However, she understood that Bai Shengyi wasn't being a do-gooder, but merely didn't want to estrange the relationship between the two parties, so she didn't blame Bai Shengyi.
"It's a Spirit Transformation Pill, a type I tried to refine in my spare time..."
When it came to pills, Bai Shengyi's spirits lifted, and she even put Qin Si aside, excitedly chatting with Qian Ying.
Qin Si looked at the excited expression in Bai Shengyi's eyes and couldn't help but smile gently.
He felt that what Bai Shengyi had said earlier was right. What was the Rongguo Duke's mansion compared to her? She was so outstanding, and she would surely go further in the future...
"Someone is coming," Qin Si's smile vanished instantly as he reminded Bai Shengyi.
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of knocking came from outside the courtyard.
Bai Shengyi paused her conversation with Qian Ying, which she was still enjoying, and went to open the door.
"Bai Sicheng?" Bai Shengyi frowned tightly. "What are you doing here?"
She hadn't seen this person since arriving at the Divine Enlightenment Academy for so long; she thought he had already graduated from the academy or was still at the Bai family!
In any case, Bai Shengyi had never expected to meet Bai Sicheng again.
But she wasn't afraid, not really. At worst, she'd just treat him as a stranger.
Bai Sicheng could naturally sense Bai Shengyi's coldness towards him. She wouldn't even call him "Eldest Brother." His mouth drooped bitterly.
"Ayi, how have you been lately?"
Bai Shengyi: "I'm fine, of course! If you have nothing else, hurry up and leave. I'll be even better."
After the incident at Xiyuan Mountain Villa, Bai Shengyi didn't have a good impression of Bai Sicheng.
Bai Sicheng looked at Bai Shengyi's indifferent expression and paused. "Ayi, are you still blaming Eldest Brother? Eldest Brother knows he made a mistake, and so does Grandpa. We've been looking for you. Since you're alright, why didn't you send a message back to the Duke's mansion?"
Bai Shengyi chuckled at his words.
"Shouldn't I blame you?" Bai Shengyi retorted. Then she added, "Fine, you say you and the Rongguo Duke know you were wrong. How do you plan to make amends?"
Bai Sicheng frowned slightly. "Ayi, since when did you become so aggressive?"
"See? You don't think you did anything wrong at all. After all, Bai Murong is also your granddaughter, your sister, isn't she?" Bai Shengyi smiled faintly.
Fortunately, she had taken a Clear Heart Pill today, and she was in a good mood, otherwise, she would have taken action directly and wouldn't be wasting her breath here.
However, she was also happy to be taunting him.
Bai Sicheng's expression indeed changed slightly. He quickly explained, "Ayi, it's not like that. I..."
"You what?"
A low, stern voice came from behind. Qin Si strode out, looking coldly at Bai Sicheng.
Under the gaze of those cold eyes, Bai Sicheng's well-prepared rebuttal scattered.
"Vice Principal! You..." Bai Sicheng glanced at Qin Si, then at Bai Shengyi, and showed a look of disapproval towards Bai Shengyi.
He said gently, "Ayi, if you lack resources, come to Eldest Brother. Although Eldest Brother is not talented, he can still support you, a Qi Condensation cultivator. There's no need to compromise yourself for resources to do things..."
Clearly, he assumed that Bai Shengyi had achieved her current success by relying on the Vice Principal of the academy.
"What nonsense are you talking about! How can your thoughts be so filthy?" Bai Shengyi's face immediately turned grim. She waved her hand to dismiss him. "Go, go, go! Get out of here! Don't sicken me! If you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action!"
Bai Sicheng also wanted to leave, but his back felt enveloped in frost, and a chill seeped into his body. His toes felt as if they were frozen by cold snow, and he couldn't move at all.
A sharp killing intent made his hair stand on end. He suddenly sobered up. Heavens, what had he just blurted out in front of the Vice Principal? Did he not want to live anymore?
