Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

"You can go out now, I need to get up." Jing Ran lowered her eyes, avoiding the topic.

"You still have to go to the private school today, don't be late."

"?" The Nascent Soul cultivator was taken aback. He went to the private school today? How come he didn't know?

"Have you forgotten?" Jingran asked, noticing Jingshu's strange expression. "You promised Xu Sheng you'd go to the private school today."

"No, I haven't forgotten." The Nascent Soul forced a smile.

"Aran, get dressed first, I'll wait for you outside." With that, Yuan Ying turned and left the room.

Jingran watched Jingshu's departing figure, feeling very puzzled.

Is he angry? Why is he angry? Jing Shu seems a bit strange today.

What Jing Ran didn't see was that the moment Jing Shu turned around, the Nascent Soul's face instantly darkened.

"Jing Shu! So that's why you were so quick to let me spend time with Master yesterday! You know perfectly well that I hate children the most!"

Even the Nascent Soul cultivator was so angry he laughed. Now Jing Shu had actually learned to sever empathy and was even setting a trap for him!

"Hmph, you block me every day, but I'm not allowed to block you?" Jing Shu completely ignored the Nascent Soul's rage.

"If all else fails, just end the time you're controlling the body early and let me go."

"Don't even think about it!" the Nascent Soul cultivator refused outright.

Isn't this just an attempt to force him to end his time with his master? Dream on! He's just a kid; he's not afraid of a thing!

After calming down, Yuan Ying looked at Jing Ran, who was already dressed and ready to go, and smiled.

"Aran, let's go."

"Hmm." Jing Ran nodded slightly, it seemed that Jing Shu was no longer angry.

Suddenly, the nascent soul looked at a certain rooftop, the killing intent in its eyes almost materializing, but in just an instant, the nascent soul withdrew its gaze, though there was still a trace of disdain in its eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Jing Ran looked in the direction the nascent soul had been looking, but there was nothing there.

"It's nothing, just a bird."

"Were you angry when you came out of my room just now?" Jingran didn't pay attention to that anymore, but instead asked the question that had been bothering him earlier.

"You found out about all of this?" The Nascent Soul cultivator didn't hide anything. "I suddenly discovered that someone had set a trap for me, so I'm very angry."

"Then just don't follow his approach," Jingran suggested.

"However, the temptation this person offered is what I want most. Compared to what I want, this problem is nothing."

The nascent soul smiled and looked at Jing Ran, "A Ran, don't you agree?"

The nascent soul's gaze was both gentle and intense, making Jing Ran somewhat unable to resist.

Jing Ran turned her head slightly and gave a soft "hmm".

After the two left, Jingyou jumped down from the roof.

Phew! That was close!

Jingyou got up early too. As soon as he opened the door, he found his brother standing at the entrance of Immortal Venerable Hanluo. He was about to go up and greet him when he realized something was wrong.

His style of dress and his demeanor clearly belong to his Nascent Soul elder brother! And judging from his brother's expression, he seems to still be angry.

Jingyou, being very self-aware, did not step forward. If he went to greet them at this time, he might get beaten up.

Then, he saw Immortal Venerable Hanluo come out of the room. Jingyou instinctively jumped onto the roof and hid.

He knew his brother's feelings for Immortal Venerable Hanluo, and whenever they were together, Jingyou would try to stay away. For no particular reason, he just felt that his forehead inexplicably shone brightly when he stood next to the two of them.

Hiding on the roof, Jingyou watched as his brother's furious state instantly subsided when he heard Immortal Venerable Hanluo open the door, and he revealed a gentle expression.

Jingyou stared wide-eyed in shock.

Wow! Face change!

Also, it turns out his older brother can laugh! Not the kind of laugh that mocks people, not the kind that threatens people, and certainly not the kind that looks at trash!

Is this the power of love?!

As Jingyou was sighing, a murderous aura suddenly locked onto him.

Jingyou was startled! He quickly flipped over to the other side of the roof.

His brother found him! Wait a minute! Why does he seem so guilty?!

Then Jingyou heard his brother say that he was a bird.

One bird!!! Okay, one bird will do.

Jingyou got angry and lashed out.

But what did Immortal Venerable Hanluo say?! My brother came out of Immortal Venerable Hanluo's room?!

Jingyou had a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, but the last thing he said was, "What are you thinking about all day?!"

"..."

Don't make wild guesses, his brother will beat him up.

He finally jumped off the roof after his brother and Immortal Venerable Hanluo had gone far away.

Eavesdropping is wrong, but he'll still do it next time!

Jingyou walked into the pavilion and took out the fresh flower cakes and osmanthus sugar cakes he had bought at the market yesterday, which he used as his breakfast today.

Besides the Flower Festival, Hwaseong is most famous for its various pastries made with fresh flowers.

Just as Jingyou was enjoying his meal, Xueniang arrived alone.

Jingyou swallowed the pastry in his mouth and reminded him, "My brother just left not long ago, you're late."

Xue Niang walked into the pavilion and unceremoniously picked up a piece of osmanthus sugar cake, saying, "Then I've come at an inopportune time."

Jingyou frowned slightly and raised his hand to collect the remaining pastries on the table.

"Then please ask Xue Niang to go back."

"Fellow Daoist, I've come to find you." Xue Niang didn't mind Jing You's protective behavior towards the food and ate the osmanthus sugar cake she had brought.

"Well, it tastes really good."

"What do you want with me?" Jingyou asked, puzzled. "Didn't you say I was weak and advised me not to get involved in this matter?"

“Of course, but I have other questions.” Xue Niang took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine residue from her hands.

“Fellow Daoist, haven’t I seen you somewhere before?” Xue Niang looked up at the face that resembled Zheng Hongtian’s. “Oh, right, I’ve met the Sect Master of Yaoyang Sect a few times, and you do look somewhat like him.”

"So, you really are Fellow Daoist Jing Shu's younger brother?"

When they first met at Zuixianlou, Jingyou was so drunk, and she was preoccupied with something else, that she didn't notice anything else.

It wasn't until they met again yesterday that she realized she seemed to have seen that face somewhere before. But since everyone was there, she didn't plan to ask at that time.

Today, seeing that Jing Shu and the other person had both gone out, she came alone, wanting to confirm her suspicions.

"Zheng Hongliang, the son of the Yaoyang Sect Master, was expelled from the sect five years ago for harming his fellow disciples, and the sect declared him dead. As for Jing Shu, I've heard the Sect Master mention him; he was an orphan taken in by Immortal Venerable Hanluo, and he has no brothers or sisters..."

"Xue Niang, what are you saying?" Jing You asked calmly.

Jingyou's eyes turned cold when Xue Niang mentioned Yaoyang Sect.

"Please remember my name is Jingyou, and I am Jingshu's acknowledged younger brother. As for Zheng Hongliang, since he is long dead, there's no need to bring him up again."

Upon hearing this, Xue Niang paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Alright, Fellow Daoist Jingyou, I asked too many questions today, please forgive me."

Xue Niang turned and left, her smile gradually turning into a playful expression.

The son of the Yaoyang Sect Master did not die; instead, he changed his name and identity, transforming himself into the younger brother of the second disciple of Hanluo Immortal Venerable.

Now things seem to have gotten much more interesting. I wonder if she'll even get to see this exciting show that's about to unfold...
