Xie Jinyan's meaningful voice came from her ear.

His warm, jade-like voice was pleasing to the ear. Beneath his handsome face, his narrow phoenix eyes held a spark. He was clearly talking to Hu Die, but his eyes were fixed on the woman beside him.

Yu Qingwu didn't dare to meet Xie Jinyan's gaze, but his burning and possessive eyes made her even more nervous. She clenched her hands, her body becoming more tense.

Hu Die, who was beside them, noticed that their expressions were not quite right and vaguely sensed something.

"A'Wu?"

"Seventh Brother, what did you call Second Senior Sister just now?"

She repeated Xie Jinyan's words with suspicion, her eyes revealing doubt and a hint of gossip.

She looked at Xie Jinyan, then at Yu Qingwu, who was standing with her head down and not speaking. With some speculation, she stammered, "Second Senior Sister, when did you become so familiar with Seventh Brother? Didn't you used to rarely talk? How... how does he know your maiden name?"

"Also, what did Seventh Brother mean when he said I could return to the capital with you? Did you two really come together? Or was it just a coincidence?"

Hu Die asked question after question. As she spoke, more and more female disciples returned for their midday rest.

Hearing the noise, everyone looked over. Many were looking at her, and many were looking at Xie Jinyan.

"Hey, Junior Brother Xie, when did you come back? Let's have a drink together tonight." At this moment, a female voice came from the crowd.

Following the direction of the voice, a very heroic-looking woman came into view.

The woman was one of the female disciples who had a good relationship with Xie Jinyan in the past. She and Xie Jinyan did not have the same master, but because they were both disciples of the Xiao clan, and because Xie Jinyan always knew how to make women happy, many female disciples had a good relationship with him.

At this moment, the female disciple had squeezed through the crowd and walked towards them.

Seeing her, Xie Jinyan also smiled and replied in a very flirtatious manner, "Senior Sister Qu is getting more and more beautiful..."

Qu Shanshan already had some affection for Xie Jinyan. Seeing Xie Jinyan compliment her, she smiled even more brightly, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Xie is getting better and better at talking. If you weren't the Crown Prince and were going to have a harem of three palaces and six courtyards, I would have wanted to marry you..."

Although Qu Shanshan was very forthright, she was still a woman after all. Hearing her say such a thing, Yu Qingwu felt extremely uncomfortable.

She subconsciously looked at Xie Jinyan.

But this time, Xie Jinyan did not immediately deny the relationship as he had done in the past. He neither dodged Qu Shanshan's physical intimacy nor rejected Qu Shanshan's joke.

Instead, he smiled flirtatiously and said ambiguously to Qu Shanshan, "If Senior Sister Qu wants to marry me, it's not impossible. My mansion has enough room for you."

Xie Jinyan's image in everyone's eyes had always been that of a playboy. Hearing his words, someone laughed again and loudly rejected him on behalf of Qu Shanshan, "Junior Brother Xie, even if you're willing, Senior Sister Qu may not be! Senior Sister Qu wants to be with one person for the rest of her life. You're so flirtatious that you probably have at least a hundred or eighty concubines in your mansion! Senior Sister Qu won't be a concubine!"

"What are you talking about? How could our Senior Sister Qu be a concubine? If she's going to marry, she'll definitely be the Crown Princess..."

Another female voice came from the crowd.

Yu Qingwu stood in place, coldly watching Xie Jinyan, who was still smiling and talking to everyone, her fingernails unconsciously digging into her palm.

"Hu Die, let's go."

Pulling Hu Die, who still wanted to watch the excitement, Yu Qingwu walked towards the dormitory without looking back.

As she walked into the room, she could still vaguely hear the sounds of playing and laughter outside, which became more and more grating.

Yu Qingwu sat down, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip, trying to suppress the sudden surge of anger. Pretending not to hear anything, she quickly began to tidy up her bed.

Originally, because she had been weak in the past, she had a separate room, but now that she had been away for half a year, it was impossible to keep it for her. In the past, when she was in the sect, Yu Qingwu had the best relationship with Hu Die. Today, the female disciple who shared a room with Hu Die had gone out to perform a mission. Therefore, she planned to make do with squeezing in with Hu Die for the night.

"Second Senior Sister, are you angry with Seventh Brother?" Just as Yu Qingwu was unfolding the mattress, Hu Die suddenly walked over, helping her tidy up the bed while cautiously asking, "Second Senior Sister, why do I feel like something's wrong between you and Seventh Brother?"

"Did he bully you in the capital?"

Bully?

He had indeed bullied her, but she couldn't say that.

Biting her lip, Yu Qingwu put down a corner of the mattress, her eyes red, but her tone was calm as she said, "Nothing happened. I didn't even see him a few times in the capital. How could he bully me?"

"But..." Hu Die frowned, hesitant to speak.

Although she was young, she was very intelligent and could see through everything. This was also why she often slacked off in the sect for so many years, but the senior and junior brothers and sisters did not dislike her.

It was only because she was always perceptive and knew how to figure out people's hearts.

Just based on her Second Senior Sister's reaction, only a fool would believe that nothing happened.

However, if Second Senior Sister didn't want to say, she wouldn't ask any more questions.

But...

If Second Senior Sister really had something going on with Seventh Brother, then Seventh Brother was flirting with others in front of her, which was really too much.

After thinking for a while, Hu Die immediately patted her head and exclaimed with a look of suddenly remembering something, "Second Senior Sister, I suddenly remembered that I haven't sorted the herbs I collected yesterday! I'll go first. You can be busy with yourself."

"Okay." Yu Qingwu lowered her head and tidied up her luggage, not noticing the change in Hu Die's expression. Hearing Hu Die say that she had something to do, she waved her hand and let her go first.

Hu Die turned back and took a deep look at her Second Senior Sister's back before immediately stepping out of the room.

At this moment, outside the dormitory, the crowd had already dispersed. Only Xie Jinyan and Qu Shanshan were still chatting there.

The two didn't know what they were talking about, but Qu Shanshan was laughing so hard that she was swaying.

"Seventh Brother, come here for a moment. I have something to talk to you about." Hu Die stepped forward and grabbed Xie Jinyan just as Qu Shanshan was about to take his arm.

Seeing this, Qu Shanshan immediately became unhappy and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hu Die, I'm talking to Junior Brother Xie. Why are you interrupting?"

"You're not talking about anything serious. What's wrong with interrupting?" Hu Die rolled her eyes at her and reached out to pull Xie Jinyan.

"You..." Qu Shanshan still wanted to say something, but Xie Jinyan ignored her and waved his hand before leaving with Hu Die.

Hu Die dragged Xie Jinyan all the way to a deserted place before slowly letting go of him. She glared at him angrily and said, "Seventh Brother, did you bully Second Senior Sister?" kuai shu ge

What was Hu Die's reaction?

Could it be that Yu Qingwu said something?

Because Yu Qingwu was evasive, Xie Jinyan was still a little unhappy at the moment. He glanced at the dormitory coldly and asked with a cold face, "What's wrong with her?"
