Lin Xinyi heard Qin Huaiyin about to open her mouth and explain, but she ignored the tea cup in her hands and stood up directly, wanting to rush over and cover this rebellious disciple’s mouth, to stop Qin Huaiyin from spouting nonsense here and causing any misunderstandings.
“You rebellious disciple, what nonsense are you talking about?!”
Lin Xinyi’s words carried a hint of anger and shyness.
She thought to herself that ever since this Qin Huaiyin awakened her dragon blood, she had become so reckless with embarrassing words, no longer the proper young lady she used to be, leaving Lin Xinyi unable to handle it.
As the tea cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound, Lin Xinyi rushed in front of Qin Huaiyin as fast as she could, reaching out to cover her mouth.
“Don’t say any strange things! Don’t make me lose face in front of Elder Yun!”
“I’m just answering Elder Yun’s question, Master, why are you so anxious~”
Qin Huaiyin said while dodging backward, but since her body hadn’t recovered and her strength was low, she could only make slight movements.
This gave Lin Xinyi the opportunity to directly reach out and cover her mouth.
But unexpectedly, Lin Xinyi slipped underfoot and ended up pressing directly onto the other woman.
Yun Yiyi watched the master and disciple acting so intimately, her eyes unavoidably showing a trace of envy.
After all, up to now, she didn’t have a single personal disciple.
She had very little interaction with others; normally, the only contact she had was teaching body cultivation essentials within the sect.
But seeing Lin Xinyi so agitated, she became even more curious about the meaning of the term “master-defying.”
“Isn’t ‘master-defying’ just a word? Why is Xiao Xinyi so excited…”
Yun Yiyi clearly knew very little about such matters—almost nothing at all.
Not to mention having reached this cultivation realm, she usually cultivated alone.
As a body cultivator, her days were dull.
To avoid boredom, Yun Yiyi threw herself entirely into body cultivation.
Having lived this long, she was completely ignorant about such affairs.
….
“Master-defying is naturally a wonderful term, but Master just doesn’t approve of my new idea~”
“Shut up! Don’t say another word!!”
Lin Xinyi, cheeks flushed, threw herself forward with all her might and covered Qin Huaiyin’s mouth, stopping her from speaking any more.
But unfortunately, her own spiritual power was depleted, and with a moment’s carelessness, she accidentally pressed down on Qin Huaiyin’s body.
In an instant, Qin Huaiyin and Lin Xinyi formed a pressing-against-chest situation.
The huge wave of compression made Yun Yiyi’s eyes go wide.
Then she looked down at her own chest, and the light in her eyes instantly faded.
After all, having been a body cultivator for so many years, her body had long stopped developing unless she broke through again.
“Mmmph~!!”
“Don’t say it, don’t say it! There’s no need for you to explain such things to your master’s junior sister!!”
Qin Huaiyin’s eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly enjoying the sensation of her master pressing against her.
But Lin Xinyi wasn’t thinking about that; she just kept covering Qin Huaiyin’s mouth with her hand, her face red.
She didn’t even notice that Yun Yiyi, sitting beside them, was staring intently at the compressed state of her chest.
Qin Huaiyin looked at her master Lin Xinyi pressed against her, then glanced at Yun Yiyi sitting nearby.
“Mmmph…”
“What do you want to say, you rebellious disciple?”
Lin Xinyi could feel the heat of Qin Huaiyin’s breath on her palm, causing a tingling sensation.
But before she could figure out what Qin Huaiyin was trying to say, Qin Huaiyin’s hand had already circled behind her head.
“Let’s agree first—I’ll let you go, rebellious disciple, and you won’t say anything crazy… mmph!! mmph!!”
Lin Xinyi wanted to warn her, then let go, after all, it was improper to keep lying on top of this rebellious disciple like this, especially with Yun Yiyi watching.
But before she could finish, a sudden force pushed from behind her head, pressing her down.
….
Faced with this sudden sneak attack, Lin Xinyi couldn’t react in time and ended up kissing the back of her own hand.
Even so, there was only a hand’s breadth between them, with her palm pressed silently against Qin Huaiyin’s lips.
“Eh?!”
Yun Yiyi’s attention was drawn by their movements, and seeing this scene, she let out a bewildered sound she’d never made before.
Lin Xinyi’s eyes went wide, completely unable to believe that this rebellious disciple Qin Huaiyin dared to do such a thing while someone else was watching.
And looking at Qin Huaiyin’s half-closed eyes, she even seemed to be enjoying this embarrassing sight of Lin Xinyi.
Lin Xinyi’s heart was in chaos.
Her eyes instinctively glanced to the side, silently praying that Yun Yiyi hadn’t seen it.
But when she glanced slightly to the left, she saw Yun Yiyi’s eyes had lost their luster.
She immediately realized her prayer hadn’t worked.
“You… you rebellious disciple!!”
When Lin Xinyi felt the warmth seeping through the gaps between her fingers, and the touch of Qin Huaiyin’s tongue lightly brushing across her palm, she snapped back to reality.
Ignoring her reddened face, she pushed Qin Huaiyin away with all her strength.
Along with the rebuke came a crisp sound.
Lin Xinyi was straddling Qin Huaiyin’s waist, and her raised left hand was clearly the source of that sound.
“Master has such good strength. Your disciple’s body is still weak, and now my face is burning~”
Qin Huaiyin lay on the long chair, feeling the sting on her cheek, but her expression showed no dissatisfaction.
Lin Xinyi’s violent reaction was within expectations, after all, even though such things had happened before, they hadn’t been known to others.
Because no one else knew, Lin Xinyi could endure the humiliation.
But now, with Yun Yiyi watching, she had exposed it.
Lin Xinyi’s inherently fragile pride and refined persona could no longer hold up at this moment.
Qin Huaiyin licked the corner of her mouth, still looking unsatisfied.
She looked up at her master sitting on her waist, showing such an inexperienced expression—it perfectly satisfied the unique fondness within Qin Huaiyin’s heart.
…..
“Elder Yun, master-defying is exactly like this. It’s a privilege unique to me as her disciple—doing improper things to my master~”
Qin Huaiyin tilted her head slightly to look at Yun Yiyi, who sat beside her like a wooden statue.
The other woman’s eyes were vacant, her body stiff, clearly not recovered from the shock.
She had never even imagined that people could interact with each other in such a way.
“Friends… friends…”
And so, on that day, it was as if a strange door had been opened in Yun Yiyi’s mind.
The most extreme thing she had ever thought of was to confine the other person by her side forever, making them admit over and over again that she was their best friend.
But now, for some reason, when comparing, Yun Yiyi felt as if she had missed out on many things.
She also felt that her hundred years of age was merely a drop in the ocean, far too inexperienced.
“Elder! Elder Yun, don’t misunderstand! This was only done by this rebellious disciple because she’s gone mad with qi deviation! It wasn’t me who initiated it!”
Lin Xinyi only wanted to quickly distance herself from this, hoping the other woman wouldn’t misunderstand.
If Qin Huaiyin kept talking nonsense and exposed the matter of her cauldron raising, everything would be completely ruined.
Lin Xinyi even began to imagine the future: Yun Yiyi knowing about this, cutting ties with her, then reporting to the sect leader, resulting in everyone regarding her as the shame of the Core Formation stage.
“Master is so heartless. Although I was the one who acted, you’re pushing it all away so cleanly. But earlier, Master… mmph mmph!!”
“You rebellious disciple! Stop talking! Stop talking!!!”
Lin Xinyi could only, with a red face, tightly cover the other’s mouth, even using deadly force.
Qin Huaiyin watched Lin Xinyi like this, enjoying it, and pretended to struggle.
As for Yun Yiyi, she was like a mindless puppet, repeating a single phrase over and over, the light in her eyes dull.
“So that’s how it can be… so that’s how it can be…”
“Elder… Elder Yun…?”
“So that’s how it can be…”
“Elder?! Yun Yiyi?! Yiyi!”
Lin Xinyi only wanted to beg the other woman not to speak of today’s events.
Otherwise, even a hint of news would spread through the entire sect within a day, thanks to the gossip lovers in the sect.
Then she wouldn’t be able to go out without being pointed at and talked about.
At this moment, Lin Xinyi was already prepared to agree to any request the other woman might make.
But now, no matter how much she called out to her, there was no response at all.
“So that’s how it can be…”
Yun Yiyi picked up the tea cup on the table, drained it in one gulp, then walked stiffly to the door under the gaze of the two.
Facing the barrier at the cave entrance, she didn’t even attempt to push the door open.
She just kept walking forward until she left a person-shaped hole in the door.
“She… she left?”
Lin Xinyi only remembered to get up and chase after her when she saw the other woman leave.
After all, Yun Yiyi hadn’t yet promised not to tell anyone about this.
But just as she ran to the door and looked left and right through the grotto-heaven, Yun Yiyi’s figure was already gone.
“It’s over, it’s over. My reputation is ruined…”
“By tomorrow, the whole sect will be spreading rumors that I’m a perverted master lusting after her own disciple’s body…”
