Weapons drawn in mutual hostility, the atmosphere was tense, as if a fight was imminent.
Yu QingTang has never seen this kind of spectacle personally, but he’s read it countless times in the novel— When this kid was not being a brainless romantic, he was so rampant and arrogant that everyone screamed to beat him up.
For a second, Yu QingTang didn’t know if he should mediate or not.
If he mediated, he’d have to be illuminated under that mirror.
If he didn’t mediate and a fight broke out, the other side was MiaoYin Xian’s fellow sect members. If he remembered correctly, the one holding the mirror seemed to even be MiaoYin Xian’s uncle.
Beating up the uncle before the female party even appears, this seemed……
The middle-aged cultivator, who held the illuminating mirror, sneered: “Within the Jin Province, if my Heavenly Music Sect commands her to come here, then she has no choice but to come here!”
“Just look at her impoverished and plebeian appearance, she’s probably not even the person we’re searching for, just coincidentally possessing some degrees of resemblance; that’s really a huge blessing for her!”
Yu QingTang silently retracted his half-stretched hand and put it behind his back.
Suddenly didn’t want to mediate anymore.
With his kind of temperament in the cultivation world, even if he didn’t get beaten up by Ye ChenYan, someone else would beat him up sooner or later. Calculating from this perspective, it’s probably more respectable to get crushed by the Proud Dragon Son of Heaven.
Ye ChenYan scoffed and tilted his head, becoming even more condescending and unruly: “As if you’re worthy?”
“Hmph! Impudent!” After dropping this classic phrase prior to every crushing defeat, the middle-aged cultivator was just about to attack when a familiar voice spoke up from behind them: “Wait—”
Hands moving faster than his mind, Yu QingTang pulled Ye ChenYan back.
Behind him, BieHe Sect’s Da-Shijie, Yue HuaNian, rushed over in a flurry and passed the two of them directly. Heading straight towards the middle-aged Heavenly Music Sect cultivator, she greeted him enthusiastically: “Uncle Zhang!”
The middle-aged cultivator took two steps back in astonishment: “Who are you?”
“It’s me! The oldest of BieHe Sect!” Da-Shijie said brimming with ardor: “My master said that our BieHe Sect and the Heavenly Music Sect were from the same family 800 years ago. Your Grand Founder even held my Master in his arms before……”
Stunned briefly, the middle-aged cultivator then revealed a look of disdain: “The things that happened 800 years ago, there’s no need to bring them up again now.”
Despite showing disdain, however, he actually didn’t deny it.
Yu QingTang was somewhat amazed. So they really were from the same family in the past!
This setting was not written in the novel, Who knows if this was something the story world filled in automatically or information that the author never published.
“Ai, it’s all the same.” Da-Shijie beckoned at him, indicating for them to talk on the side. She pointed at Yu QingTang and whispered: “This is my BieHe Sect’s Xiao-Shimei.”
Even though she had purposely suppressed her voice, as a music cultivator, Yu QingTang could still hear her loud and clear. He just didn’t know if Ye ChenYan could hear it.
Da-Shijie then pointed at Ye ChenYan: “This is my Xiao-Shimei’s sweetheart.”
Yu QingTang: “!”
Panicking somewhat, he looked towards Ye ChenYan. The other had a disgruntled face, as if he didn’t hear.
Da-Shijie was still speaking nonsense. She pressed down that illuminating mirror in an overly friendly manner: “This mirror can’t be used.”
Knowing that she was from BieHe Sect, the middle-aged cultivator already trusted her somewhat. However, afraid to lose face, he still asked obstinately: “If she has a clear conscience, then why can’t it be used?”

“Tsk, you don’t understand.” Da-Shijie wiggled her brows at him: “As a young female cultivator going on an outing with her sweetheart, no matter what, she has to ‘dress up a little’, naturally.”

“Hey hey hey!” Da-Shijie hastily stopped him from continuing: “Save us some face!”
The middle-aged cultivator shook his head disdainfully: “Shoo, leave already. In the future, don’t tell others that you guys are from the same family as our Heaven Music Sect.”
“Alrighty!” Da-Shijie turned around with an exuberant smile and shot Yu QingTang a look, indicating for them to hurry up and follow her out of here.
With a dark expression on his face, Ye ChenYan clearly looked very unconvinced, but he took a glance at Yu QingTang and still followed without saying anything.
After taking two steps, however, he gently nudged Yu QingTang: “Don’t worry, he will get his due.”
“Ah?” Startled, Yu QingTang’s eyes widened in shock as he looked back in panic: “What did you do?”
When he turned his head, he just happened to see that middle-aged cultivator reach around and scratch his back, then scratch it again, and then scratch it some more.
With a complacent smile, Ye ChenYan raised a brow at him.
Yu QingTang recalled that during the early stages of the story, Ye ChenYan possessed quite a bit of strange and quirky toys. A drop of cold sweat slid down his face. Grabbing Ye ChenYan and his Da-Shijie, Yu QingTang increased his pace and charged towards the town below.
Ye ChenYan was caught somewhat off guard: “Hey? Why are you running?”
“Why not run after committing a misdeed?” Yu QingTang said in panic: “Any slower and he’ll realize we’re the ones who did it!”
Ye ChenYan landed and still felt somewhat unconvinced: “What’s there to fear? It’s not like I can’t beat him.”
Da-Shijie still didn’t get it: “No way, why are you causing trouble for my Uncle Zhang?”
Yu QingTang briefly recounted the previous situation: “Your Uncle Zhang insulted me.”
Da-Shijie instantly changed her tone: “Then he deserves to be beaten.”
Ye ChenYan examined her up and down and regained his manners: “I still have not inquired…..”
Only now did Yu QingTang remember that in the original story line, Da-Shijie and Ye ChenYan had never met before. This should be considered the first time.
At this time, Da-Shijie seemed to have remembered to act gentle and demure. Pressing her lips together, she smiled: “This one is BieHe Sect’s head disciple, Yue HuaNian.”
“TangTang left in a hurry, without even bringing any clothes. I’m here to deliver a little package for him, see?”
As she spoke, she tugged Yu QingTang over and locked arms with him. She pulled out a small bundle simultaneously and stuffed it in his hands.
Nervously, Yu QingTang watched for any change in Ye ChenYan’s expression—Don’t tell him, this kid will also become interested in his Da-Shijie?!
Ye ChenYan’s gaze, however, never landed on his Da-Shijie’s face. On the contrary, it landed on her hand— to be more precisely, the hand looped around his arm.
“Shijie, there’s no need to be so anxious.” Ye ChenYan scooted toward Yu QingTang imperceptibly and also moved closer to him: “Anything Miss Yu lacks, I will buy for her.”
“Haha.” Da-Shijie laughed sardonically: “Our TangTang is hardworking and plain, not used to the extravagant and decadent lifestyle of a rich young lady. Your method won’t work.”
Yu QingTang’s heart trembled in trepidation upon hearing those words. Terrified his Da-Shijie might piss the other off directly, he hastily moved his elbow to remind her to restrain herself.
Unexpectedly however, not only was Ye ChenYan not angry, he even leaned over behind Yu QingTang’s back and asked her eagerly: “Then which method will work?”
Thoughts stuttering to a halt, Da-Shijie clearly had great difficulty coming up with an answer on the spot.
“Cough.” Yu QingTang cleared his throat: “Is anyone hungry? We’ve already reached town. It’s also getting quite late. Why don’t we find a place to rest?”
“Okay.” Ye ChenYan answered happily: “The inn I stayed in upon my arrival was pretty good. I’ll lead the way.”
When they reached the entrance of the inn, which looked even more luxurious than their sect, Da-Shijie and Yu QingTang tilted their heads upwards and got a clear view of the signboard. They both took in a cold breath.
“Oh man, the Celestial Inn.” Ill at ease, Da-Shijie leaned next to Yu QingTang’s ear: “Back then when I made my breakthrough to reach Nascent Soul, our Master came over and ordered a pork knuckle to go.”
Yu QingTang’s eyes opened slightly: “Why don’t I remember that?”
“When I reached Nascent Soul, you didn’t even join the sect yet.” Da-Shijie’s gaze gained some degrees of melancholy: “After that, this cultivation of mine just stagnated.”
Saying this, she smacked her lips, clearly very nostalgic over the taste.
Yu QingTang swallowed his saliva: “Was that pork knuckle tasty?”
“Tasty.” Da-Shijie held out two fingers: “The scrumptious taste of 200 low-grade spiritual stones.”
Over there, Ye ChenYan already finished booking the rooms. He turned his head to call out to them: “Ladies, do you want to eat something first?”
Yu QingTang answered subconsciously: “Nascent Soul pork knuckles”]Usually, this means pork knuckles coming from a spirit beast that’s probably Nascent Soul level? The high quality stuff[/tn].”
Da-Shijie hastily reached out to cover his mouth.
“En?” Ye ChenYan was somewhat bewildered. He turned to ask the innkeeper: “Do you have this dish?”
The innkeeper was also somewhat confused: “There are pork knuckles, but Nascent Soul pork knuckles, this……”
Ye ChenYan understood and laughed: “Looks like there’s none here, so we will eat normal pork knuckles today, alright?”
Yu QingTang was just about to nod when Da-Shijie nudged him briefly: “What okay, don’t forget your character setting!”
Yu QingTang: “…….I don’t like to eat meat.”
Uttering words against his convictions, his heart ached.
Ye ChenYan raised an eyebrow slightly and looked towards Yue HuaNian: “What about Da-Shijie?”
Da-Shijie said extremely vigilantly: “Who’s your Da-Shijie.”
Ye ChenYan smiled cordially: “Do you want to eat pork knuckles? There are also the signature dishes here— sweet and sour squirrel-fish, the Beggar’s chicken……”
Da-Shijie swallowed her saliva disgracefully.
Yu QingTang: “……Ha.”
During this meal, for the sake of his character setting, Yu QingTang resisted the temptation for the Nascent Soul pork knuckles and only ate some vegetables.
Afterwards, Da-Shijie found a reason to send Ye ChenYan away and followed Yu QingTang into the room. After closing the door, they finally let out breaths of relief.
Da-Shijie couldn’t resist examining the room, saying enviously: “Their GuiYi Sect is really quite affluent. I just came to deliver something to you, yet he even booked a room for me.”
Yu QingTang has already opened the little bundle she brought: “What did you bring me?”
He pulled out a long, goose yellow dress, then a half-lengthed peacock blue dress, and then a muslin white outer robe……
Yu QingTang looked up speechlessly: “Don’t tell me it’s all clothes?”
“And also some accessories. All things that your Shijies can’t use…… Ah, no I mean, stuff that we went through great difficulties to gather for you.” Da-Shijie moved over: “Come come come, I’ll teach you how to match them.”
Yu QingTang rummaged through the bundle and expressionlessly lifted a…… bright red, Mandarin Duck lingerie with his two fingers.
Looking at Da-Shijie in silence, he said nothing at all— but it felt as if he said everything.
Da-Shijie cleared her throat: “Of course this doesn’t belong to us three. We prepared it especially for you.”
Yu QingTang incredulously: “Especially?”
“I’ll teach you.” Da-Shijie pointed at the door: “In case you encounter some special circumstance where it’s inconvenient for you to see people, but it’s unavoidable. You can just throw this in his face! It can at least win you three to five breaths!”
Yu QingTang: “……”
His gaze was numb and carried some degree of exhaustion: “Shijie, what kind of strategic advisor are you?”
Da-Shijie held his hand affectionately: “Oh Tang, reputation and modesty, and whatnot, none of that is important. Shijie only hopes that you can be safe and sound……”
There was suddenly a knock on the door. Ye ChenYan’s voice could be heard: “Miss Yu.”
“Shoot!”
Da-Shijie picked up the stuff and dove out the window like an arrow. With a flip, Yu QingTang rolled into the bed and pretended to be asleep. The two people were so well-practiced, it was as if they had been caught countless times stealing late night snacks by their Master.
By the time Yu QingTang closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, he suddenly realized in the aftermath— This was completely unnecessary!
But right as he decided to open his eyes again, Ye ChenYan pushed the door open and walked in directly! Frightening Yu QingTang so much that he immediately closed his eyes again.
To actually enter a girl’s room without even waiting for her response, no wonder you can encounter so many beauties bathing, changing clothes, and revealing their birthmarks!
“Miss Yu, the hair of this Green Demon Monkey is somewhat strange. It took that mirror and……” Holding the illuminating mirror, Ye ChenYan walked into the room, then suddenly stopped talking.
He looked dubiously at the brightly candlelit room and the half-opened window— as well as Yu QingTang, who was lying in bed. Walking slowly to the bed, he called out in a whisper: “Miss Yu?”
He looked down at the mirror in his hand and raised his brows slightly.
The Author has something to say:
Yu QingTang: Why am I pretending?
Da-Shijie: Why am I hiding?
HASJKLDFKJLAJHSFKJL they got too used to being sneaky back home HAHAHHA i totally get it tho, its like a reflex
Da-Shijie is an icon 😎
Also, I love the familial relationships in the sect~
🤣🤣🤣 I just really love this 🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘
It’s hilarious and so funny 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Oh, and did he see something in that mirror?? Thanks for the chapter!
This one is so entertaining so far! Thanks for the update!
Good question, why? But someone should kick YCY, how could he went inside girl’s room just like that?! <(｀^´)>
Thank You for the new chapter (◦’ںˉ◦)♡
Is that lingerie really unused?? I think not!!! But honestly that is so genius, to just throw it at someone’s face.
…why was he jealous of Da Shijie if he didn’t already know that that Tang was a boy?
This series is so genuinely funny. The shenanigans ramp up with every chapter, and I just love the relationship between our main character and his Da-shijie!
Wait omg does that mean he found out?????
Why are these two dumbos even hiding and pretending lmaoooo 😂 My take on this is that yu chenyan already had suspicions that tangtang is a boy hence why he was lowkey jealous when da-shijie was holding onto little tang’s arm. And the mirror probably confirmed his suspicion 🤭
