Chapter 130

Gazing at the beautiful young girl whose radiance seemed even brighter under the moonlight, Jiang Sishui felt a stir in his heart.

"Could it be that Rong'er came to find me because..."

Observing Huang Rong's demeanor and her unusual behavior today, Jiang Sishui suddenly thought of Bai Feifei and Zhao Qiying.

In an instant, a sudden realization surged within his heart.

Immediately, he could not help but blame himself: "I boasted of my own cleverness, yet I never expected to be so foolish, always thinking the timing was not ripe and merely waiting for them to take the initiative; I am truly not much of a man."

He silently resolved in his heart to take this as a lesson henceforth.

At this moment, Huang Rong spun around before him and said in a coquettish voice, "Does brother Sishui like it?"

Jiang Sishui did not answer; he looked at Huang Rong with a gentle smile, then stepped forward and gently embraced her.

Huang Rong was stunned for a moment; sensing the other's affection, her heart, which had been somewhat uneasy, immediately settled down.

Their four eyes met; neither spoke a word, yet this silence surpassed a thousand words.

He lifted the young girl, turned, and returned to the room.

Huang Rong understood; although her heart trembled uncontrollably, she did not resist.

This was because she had indeed come to find Jiang Sishui tonight with this very intention.

The current Jiang Sishui was a source, surrounded by a flock of beauties, and there would be more and more in the future.

She felt that if she did nothing, let alone be the third, she might not even rank in the top ten.

Thus, after much deliberation, she decided to follow the example of Bai Feifei and Zhao Qiying.

At the same time, she harbored another thought.

That was to verify the guess in her heart through this matter.

To see if, after she intercepted Jiang Sishui tonight and left Bai Feifei to keep an empty room alone, the other would harbor resentment toward her because of it.

If she did, then she would compete with Bai Feifei from now on.

If she did not, then it was most likely that she had truly misunderstood her, and the two could still be good sisters in the future.

As for the incident back then when she was intercepted by Bai Feifei...

The matter had already happened, and so many days had passed; her anger had actually subsided quite a bit.

At first, wanting to deal with Bai Feifei was merely a matter of competition.

Yet even though she had prepared herself mentally, when the moment arrived, she realized she was actually this nervous.

But very soon, she had no mind to think of such things anymore; instead, she immersed herself wholeheartedly in a joy unlike any she had ever experienced.

The dim yellow lamp flickered, and the fragrant curtains seemed dyed with a layer of pink.

Two black shadows were reflected on the window paper, like a pair of mandarin ducks with intertwined necks.

After this night, they would no longer be separate from each other.

... You...

On the other side, Bai Feifei stood by the window, looking up at the night sky.

That round moon in the sky was brighter than last night.

That person had not yet come, but she did not continue to wait.

Because she had a intuition that he would not come tonight.

Early the next morning, Jiang Sishui got up and went out alone.

As the saying goes, "A newborn calf fears not the tiger"; the young girl, ignorant and fearless, played too wildly with a burst of energy, and the result was...

Jiang Sishui estimated that she would not be able to get up all day today.

After dining with the women, Jiang Sishui picked up the food box again.

"Brother Jiang, are you going to deliver food to sister Rong?" a soft and gentle voice called out to him.

Jiang Sishui turned around, feeling somewhat embarrassed in his heart.

After all, he had brought food to Bai Feifei yesterday, and now he had changed to someone else, and last night he had also neglected her.

But he had no choice; only when he threw all these women into the same "trench" could this problem be solved.

"Feifei, last night..."

"Brother Jiang, do not overthink it. Since Feifei has followed Brother Jiang, she will no longer throw tantrums with Brother Jiang."

A warmth rose in Jiang Sishui's heart, and he took one of her hands.

Bai Feifei smiled gently: "Feifei will go with Brother Jiang to see sister Rong."

"You want to go see her?" Jiang Sishui's expression was strange.

Bai Feifei nodded her head slightly: "Sister Rong must be in great pain right now. Her skin is thin, and there are some things she is not convenient to tell you, but Feifei knows."

Hearing her say this, Jiang Sishui recalled the scene this morning when Huang Rong curled up and would not let him touch her, so he nodded and agreed.

The two entered the room, and Jiang Sishui said softly, "Rong'er, get up to wash and eat."

Huang Rong wrapped herself in the quilt, facing inward, and mumbled, "No, I want brother Sishui to feed me personally!"

Before Jiang Sishui could answer, Bai Feifei said, "Brother Jiang, let me do it."

Hearing that familiar voice, Huang Rong suddenly turned around, glanced at Bai Feifei, her pretty face turning red at a visible speed, and then buried her head directly into the quilt, refusing to come out.

How embarrassing!

Actually being caught... caught... actually being caught in bed!

Huang Rong's skin was actually not thin at all, but it depended on the matter.

In matters of the bed, she was much more easily shy than Bai Feifei.

Unless she had completely entered the state.

Bai Feifei smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, go fetch a basin of warm water; it should be slightly hot."

Jiang Sishui looked at Bai Feifei, then at Huang Rong, and nodded slightly: "Alright, then I'll leave Rong'er in your care."

"Rest assured, I, Feifei, will take good care of Sister Rong."

Seeing that Huang Rong raised no objection, Jiang Sishui turned and went out the door.

When Jiang Sishui returned with hot water, he found the door closed.

Just as he was about to push it open, Bai Feifei's voice came from inside: "Brother Jiang, leave the hot water by the door. I, Feifei, will fetch it myself. If you have matters to attend to, go ahead and do so."

Jiang Sishui paused mid-step, feeling utterly bewildered, with no idea what the two of them were doing inside.

After a moment's hesitation, he said: "Then... Rong'er, I'll be on my way?"

"Go ahead, go ahead." Huang Rong's somewhat carefree voice sounded from within the room.

Hearing this, though still puzzled, Jiang Sishui asked no more, turned, and left.

"What should I do next?"

Just as he was considering whom to seek out, he suddenly remembered something: "Right, I haven't obtained the Minor Formless Art yet!"

At this thought, he immediately changed course to find Li Qingluo.

"I have brought all the Wu Gong manuals from Wuliang Mountain, but I do not have the Minor Formless Art."

Upon learning Jiang Sishui's purpose, Li Qingluo shook her head directly.

No Minor Formless Art?

Jiang Sishui looked deeply at Li Qingluo.

Seeing that her expression did not seem false, he silently began to ponder.

In "Heaven's Sword and Dragon Sabre", few people knew the Minor Formless Art; apart from members of the Xiaoyao Sect, only Dharma Master Kumo Zhixue learned an incomplete version.

As for where Dharma Master Kumo Zhixue learned it, only the newly revised edition provides a clear account—

He stole it from Mantuo Shanzhuang!

At that time, the Minor Formless Art was hidden within seven ledgers, recorded in special code. When Ding Chunqiu and Li Qingluo were talking, Dharma Master Kumo Zhixue overheard them.

Later, the seventh ledger was taken away, so Dharma Master Kumo Zhixue only stole six and learned it incompletely.

However, in reality, Ding Chunqiu is not Li Qingluo's adoptive father, so the plot of the newly revised edition clearly cannot be applied here.

In other words, Mantuo Shanzhuang most likely does not possess the Minor Formless Art!

At this thought, Jiang Sishui's heart sank.

"Right, how could I have forgotten that?"

Jiang Sishui took out the "Item-Seeking Luo Pan" and began searching for the Minor Formless Art manual.
