Chapter 25: Jing Yueqin the Suicide Bomber

"Confess it yourself, what did you go and do?"

"Uh... I didn't do anything."

"Tell the truth, I won't be angry."

"But, but I really didn't do anything at all!"

"Not doing anything at all is exactly the problem!"

Ren Yidao grabbed Jing Yueqin's cheeks on both sides and pulled them outward, feeling frustrated that she wouldn't live up to his expectations.

"What was the point of me sending you to attend the sect meeting? Wasn't it for you to speak up? And yet, you didn't do anything?"

I sent you to school to study, what did you go and do?

Sleep?

Sleep, sleep, sleep, all you know how to do is sleep!

"But I was just sleepy... what could I do!?"

Lifting both hands upward, Jing Yueqin slapped away Ren Yidao's mischievous palms and hummed, her reasoning weak but her tone bold:

"If you want to blame someone, go blame Elder Shen! It's all his problem; as soon as he opens his mouth, I want to sleep."

"If it weren't for him, I could have at least lasted until the middle of the meeting before sleeping!"

Ren Yidao fell silent, speechless and choked with words.

You can stay awake for half, and you're proud of that?

Although he said that, he also knew clearly why Jing Yueqin could fall asleep so quickly.

Elder Shen is the sect's Transmission Elder, who leads the newly initiated disciples from various peaks in their most basic instruction.

It covers all aspects, not just cultivation techniques, but also includes some local customs and traditions.

To put it plainly, you could compare him to your cultural studies teacher.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the content he lectures on, but the drawback is that his tone has no inflection, which is indeed a bit hypnotic.

Hmm, not just a bit.

Ren Yidao had already known this back when he was a white fox in the sect; whenever he had insomnia, he would run over to attend the lecture and then have a lovely sleep.

This habit didn't change even after he became a disciple of Luoyue Peak; once, he almost fell asleep during class!

However, even so, Ren Yidao was not going to let Jing Yueqin off so easily.

"Cough, so do you know you were wrong?"

Looking at Ren Yidao's somewhat dangerous gaze, Jing Yueqin guiltily shifted her eyes away and said in a small voice:

"Mm."

There is, there is, right?

"Then you tell me yourself, what did you do wrong?"

Already having a guilty conscience, Jing Yueqin, whose gaze drifted toward the Cave Abode of Yu Yu, spoke subconsciously:

"I, I shouldn't have synchronized my senses with Yu Yu... ah, that doesn't count! It's that I shouldn't have fallen asleep, mm."

After finishing, seeing the stunned Ren Yidao, she revealed a tentative, silly smile.

"Hehehe, you didn't hear anything."

Ren Yidao: "?"

When I type a question mark, it's not because I have a problem, but because I think you have a problem.

I was wondering how that child suddenly grew up; so it was you who did it, damn it!

Can you do something human for once?

I beg you, please act like a human.

The silly-smiling Jing Yueqin keenly sensed Ren Yidao's emotional fluctuation and vanished from the spot the instant before he erupted.

The next second, an angry roar echoed across Luoyue Peak:

"Jing Yueqin!!!"

"You get back here!"

Appearing at the foot of the mountain, Jing Yueqin stuck her tongue out toward the peak.

Like hell I'm going back!

Time to slip away!

Who would stay there and let their junior brother lecture them!

Don't I have any face to save?

Looking left and right, Jing Yueqin finally flew toward the direction of Lingxu Peak.

Going to find Duan to play—

……

……

"Senior, Foster Father..."

Hearing Ren Yidao's roar, a tidied-up Yu Yu poked her head out from afar and asked cautiously:

"Are you angry?"

To tell the truth, the people of Luoyue Peak were still strangers to her.

If one really had to say, the only one she was relatively familiar with was her newly recognized Foster Father.

Jian Xinxin was too gloomy.

Although Jing Yueqin was gentle and beautiful, for some reason, after waking up, Yu Yu always felt scared in her heart when looking at her.

And although Ren Yidao sometimes persecuted her, the natural sense of intimacy he carried still made her unconsciously let down her guard.

For some reason, she felt that Ren Yidao was even more approachable today than before.

She wanted to snuggle up to him.

"……It's Yu Yu."

Ren Yidao turned his head, glanced at the ignorant girl who had been poisoned by Senior Sister's demonic claws, and shook his head with a smile:

"It's nothing, I'm actually not angry."

He did not mention what Jing Yueqin had done, nor did he have any intention of explaining it to her some day in the future.

Ren Yidao did indeed like to be wicked and persecute others; he admitted this.

But there was also a degree to this that needed to be kept in mind.

What could be done and what could not be done—there was a very clear bottom line in his heart.

Especially since Yu Yu was one of his own, not an enemy.

Since Yu Yu didn't know anything right now, it was better to just let her treat it as a fleeting dream that left no trace upon waking.

Otherwise, besides causing her secondary trauma, it had no other meaning.

So, this was enough.

Yu Yu did not know Ren Yidao's thoughts; she only felt that the way her Foster Father looked at her today was much gentler than yesterday.

Thus, she plucked up her courage and slowly moved behind Ren Yidao.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally raised her hands and placed them on his shoulders, kneading them gently.

Ren Yidao raised his eyebrows and subconsciously wanted to stop her, but in the end, he remained silent and relaxed his tense muscles.

This was the girl's good intention; if he refused now, he didn't know what kind of wild thoughts she might have.

She had already had a very hard time yesterday, so he should be a little better to her today.

What a good child.

"Thank you."

After saying a soft thank you, Ren Yidao closed his eyes slightly, quietly experiencing this unprecedented sensation.

Yu Yu was a little nervous at the beginning.

She had only done this before when her mother and grandmother were angry, and had never had the experience of massaging a man's shoulders.

As soon as she started, she was startled.

Although Ren Yidao looked delicate and harmless on the outside, hidden beneath that layer of clothing were unusually refined and solid muscles.

Blocking Shi Xue's blade with a glass cup last night hadn't relied on any Dharma Power, but rather on sheer physical strength.

No matter what, Ren Yidao was a Great Demon who had attained human form; his physical body was not weak, and his true form's strength was even greater than his human form.

After massaging for a while, Yu Yu relaxed, and her girlish nature gained the upper hand again.

She massaged the left side, then the right side, secretly playing with Senior Brother's body.

Just as she was enjoying herself, Ren Yidao suddenly spoke:

"I'm actually really not angry about the Inter-Peak Grand Competition."

"Actually, letting Senior Sister go there was just a formality; after all, whether she had that vote or not made no difference to the result at all."

There were nine votes in the inter-peak vote; what would it matter if she were given one extra?

It couldn't affect the situation at all.

To truly change the current situation, it was inevitable to win over the other main peaks.

"But she had to go this time; attending was useless, but not attending would have been a matter of attitude."

"At a time like this, one cannot hand leverage over to others."

After listening for a while, Yu Yu discovered that Ren Yidao was truly not angry, and asked curiously:

"Then why did Senior Sister run away just now?"

Slowly opening his eyes, Ren Yidao smiled helplessly and shrugged:

"Who knows."

"Maybe she had a guilty conscience."

Or maybe she just didn't have much of a brain…

Hmm, this last sentence was a bit hurtful, so he wouldn't say it to Junior Sister.

I choose to say it directly to the person involved in private.

What kind of self-destructing truck are you?

You silly blockhead!
