Chapter 1887: Shocking Eldest Senior Brother! Everyone Except Himself Got Caught?

Before long, two graceful figures entered the villa's living room one after another.

Leading the way was Lin Qianxue.

She wore a plain white long dress, its hem reaching her knees.

Revealing a pair of straight, slender legs that were breathtakingly beautiful.

Those legs had perfect lines; the curve from waist to ankle was like an artwork carved by heaven.

Taut and well-proportioned, her skin fair and delicate like mutton-fat jade.

Her figure was tall and slender, her waist willowy.

Her pale golden eyes were clear as water, her temperament cool yet revealing a few threads of gentleness.

Following close behind was Ye Li.

She wore a set of simple black clothes, her figure tall and upright.

Her jet-black hair was tied into a neat ponytail, revealing a long, fair neck.

Unlike Lin Qianxue's gentleness, a sharp sword intent faintly circulated around her.

Coldly beautiful and lofty, her edge concealed.

Only when looking at Xu Jingming would she carry a touch of gentleness and softness.

"Teacher, did you call us for something?"

Ye Li spoke first, her voice clear and cold like a spring striking stone.

Lin Qianxue also tilted her head slightly, her gaze carrying a hint of puzzlement:

"Little Junior Brother is here too? Is there some important matter?"

The Frost Crown Ruler looked at the two peerless disciples before her; a complex emotion flashed through her ice-blue eyes.

She took a deep breath, and a rare trace of embarrassment appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

"It's like this..."

With things having come to this point, she opened her mouth, yet still didn't know how to begin.

But before she could think of the wording, Ye Li suddenly spoke up:

"Teacher, are you trying to say you're together with Jingming?"

"Ah?!"

The Frost Crown Ruler's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, her ice-blue pupils full of shock:

"How did you know?"

Xu Jingming was likewise somewhat surprised.

"Because Teacher's change recently has been too great."

Lin Qianxue at the side smiled lightly; by now she had also long seen something was off:

"Compared to before, it's like you've become a different person."

"True, even Eldest Senior Brother's thick nerves can tell something's wrong.

Qianxue and Li'er noticing is only natural."

Xu Jingming couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Is it that obvious?"

The Frost Crown Ruler subconsciously raised a hand to rub her cheek, her ice-blue long hair swaying lightly with the motion.

She suddenly frowned again, asking in puzzlement:

"But how did you guess it was Jingming?"

"That's even simpler."

Ye Li said with a smile, "Teacher, look at how your eyes are different when you look at Jingming.

There's gentleness mixed with reliance, and within the reliance there's doting. We've been through it; we know at a glance."

"This..."

The Frost Crown Ruler was completely dumbfounded.

Her icy lips parted slightly, expressions shifting on her stunningly beautiful face.

From shock to bashfulness, then to a trace of helplessness.

She had thought she hid it well; these past days she had still been repeatedly agonizing over how to explain it to her two disciples.

She never expected they had actually seen through it long ago!

"But at first it was only suspicion."

Lin Qianxue took up the thread.

Her pale golden eyes looked toward Xu Jingming, the corner of her mouth hooking a meaningful arc.

"What truly confirmed it for us was Jingming.

He... up there sometimes carries other women's scent.

We privately compared with Ling Shuang, Qiu Yun and the others one by one; none of them matched."

"Later we carefully observed and sensed, and finally discovered—"

Lin Qianxue looked at the Frost Crown Ruler, blinking, "It's yours, Teacher."

"No way, it's that detailed?!"

Xu Jingming's eyes widened; he hadn't expected the women to be meticulous to this degree!

"Of course."

Ye Li gave a light hmph, a rare trace of petty satisfaction appearing on her cold face:

"I'm a Ruler-stage, after all; my perception is very strong."

"Besides, after so many years together, we're far too familiar with Master's aura."

"D-don't say anymore......"

At this moment, the Frost Crown Ruler was so ashamed she covered her face with both hands.

Ice-blue long hair fell over her shoulders, and even her neck was stained crimson.

Too shameful!

To actually have her aura sniffed out by her own disciple... through that kind of method!

"Qianxue and I both know what you're worried about, Master."

Seeing this, Yeli couldn't help but speak up to comfort her:

"Actually, you really don't need to think so much. We won't object.

Jingming's talent is peerless, his character resilient, and he protects those around him with his whole heart.

You being with him actually puts our minds at ease."

"That's right, Master.

In the long years, meeting a true-hearted person is no easy thing. We're happy for you."

Lin Qianxue also softly chimed in agreement.

"You all......"

The Frost Crown Ruler slowly lowered her hands.

Complex emotions rippled in her ice-blue eyes, emotion and sentiment intertwined. She looked at Xu Jingming and sighed softly:

"You rascal, you really have good fortune.

The women by your side, every single one so sensible, all thinking of you."

Of course, that included herself......

"It's my good fortune that Master is willing to favor me."

Xu Jingming grinned, reaching out to pull her waist into his arm.

Frost Crown shot him a glare, but didn't push him away; instead, she snuggled closer.

Just then, a clear male voice came from outside the villa:

"Master, I'm here!"

"Come in."

The Frost Crown Ruler collected her emotions.

Her ice-blue eyes returned to their usual cold clarity, only the lingering blush at the corners of her eyes still obvious.

"Yo, everyone's here."

The Azure Abyss Ruler pushed the door open and entered, azure robes fluttering, a smile on his handsome face.

His gaze swept across the living room, seeing Xu Jingming, Lin Qianxue, and Yeli all present.

Just as he wanted to tease them a couple of lines, his gaze suddenly froze.

What did he see?!

That brat Xu Jingming's hand was steadily wrapped around Frost Crown Master's slender waist!

"Little Junior Brother! You!"

The Azure Abyss Ruler's eyes bulged, frantically signaling with his eyes, as if saying: 'Have you eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall? Daring to be so disrespectful to Master?!'

But Xu Jingming just smiled and winked at him, his arm tightening around her waist a bit more.

"Stop glaring."

Compared to the conflicted feelings when facing Lin Qianxue and Yeli.

Toward this eldest disciple who had followed her for a million years, the Frost Crown Ruler appeared much more casual.

She didn't even push Xu Jingming's hand away, merely speaking indifferently:

"Weren't you looking for your Grandmaster? There, that's him."

"Where?"

The Azure Abyss Ruler subconsciously asked.

His gaze swept the living room once — aside from Xu Jingming, there was no other man.

Immediately, his pupils contracted sharply, as if thunder had exploded in his mind!

"I-it's Little Junior Brother?!"

The Azure Abyss Ruler's voice even changed pitch.

His handsome face went completely blank, as if his worldview had been utterly overturned.

"That's right."

Xu Jingming nodded with a straight face:

"From now on we each follow our own line — you call me Grandmaster, I'll call you Eldest Senior Brother, and that'll be fine."

"What nonsense!"

The Frost Crown Ruler gave Xu Jingming an annoyed glare.

That one glance, however, was full of charming allure, leaving Qingming stunned once more.

She spoke seriously:

"Seniority cannot be messed up.

Qingming, whatever you should call Jingming from now on, that's what you'll call him.

Same goes for you, Jingming."

"Ah?!"

Qingming Ruler was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at Teacher Shuangmian, then at Xu Jingming.

Then he looked at the two junior sisters Lin Qianxue and Ye Li standing nearby, both wearing smiles.

He finally realized — this wasn't a joke!

Teacher really got together with Little Junior Brother!

And both junior sisters actually knew about it, and even... seemed not to object?

Seeing this, Qingming Ruler admired him to the utmost in his heart, and willingly called out:

"Grandmaster!"

"Mm, good disciple."

Xu Jingming nearly laughed out loud, barely keeping a straight face, then dryly coughed and said:

"When Teacher isn't around in the future, you can call me Little Junior Brother or Jingming."

Shuangmian originally wanted to speak, but ultimately stopped herself.

Seeing this, Qingming Ruler admired him even more, and couldn't help but nod and say:

"Good, then I'll call you Jingming from now on."

In this situation, whether calling him Little Junior Brother or Grandmaster wasn't quite appropriate.

Could only address him by name.

However......

Qingming Ruler subconsciously glanced around Xu Jingming.

The cool, stunningly beautiful Teacher Shuangmian, the tall and sharp Junior Sister Ye Li, the impossibly long-legged Junior Sister Lin Qianxue......

The Shuangmian lineage, besides himself, had actually all been captured by this brat?!

Qingming Ruler's mouth twitched, and an absurd yet incredibly fitting thought surged in his heart:

'This guy... couldn't be a succubus reincarnated, could he?!'
