Chapter 317: The Double Bootlickers
Morning.
Wang Haoran forcibly awakened Lin Xixue, who was resting beside him.
“Senior sister, time to get up? Let me adjust your body a bit, Master’s senses are so sharp, be careful she doesn’t find out.”
“Mm~ So early~”
The overworked Lin Xixue opened her eyes.
However, upon hearing Wang Haoran’s words, she couldn’t help but sneer, “Now you’re scared, huh—”
Before she could finish, Wang Haoran gave her a “smack—!” with a slap!
“Do you never learn your lesson? I’m speaking nicely to you, and you act up again?”
“I, I... I didn’t...”
Seeing Wang Haoran’s indifferent gaze, Lin Xixue covered her face, retreating back.
This slap reminded her that last night Wang Haoran had used cruel means to threaten her!
Before sleeping, things were so harmonious, she almost forgot...
Feeling the lingering pain... she lowered her head, feeling a bit wronged.
But at Wang Haoran’s command of “come here!”, she could only obediently crawl over.
Wang Haoran quickly adjusted her body.
Then, he started packing things.
To educate Lin Xixue, Wang Haoran had brought many tools, and now he needed to gather them all before leaving.
Otherwise, if such embarrassing tools were found by his aunt, he’d lose face trying to claim he’s an innocent man.
As he left.
“Tidy up yourself!”
Looking at the messy room, Wang Haoran scoffed, “Didn’t expect you to be so shameless!”
“......”
“......”
“......I’m not!”
After Wang Haoran left, Lin Xixue softly muttered a rebuttal.
Her eyes were red and teary, feeling a sourness in her nose.
Last night, it was Wang Haoran who deliberately used some strange potion on her... like that Spring and Autumn Grass...
Although she had a small anticipation for Wang Haoran to use it... so she could find a reason to not have to endure further...
But ultimately, it was all Wang Haoran’s coercion, so she had no choice but to comply reluctantly!
How dare he say that about her now!
Feeling despondent, Lin Xixue rubbed her tears.
But sadness aside, she still had to get up and tidy the room.
......
It took her a long time to finally set out to visit her Master.
Though she adjusted her emotions for a long while, her sad expression was picked up by Zhao Nishang.
“Xixue, what’s wrong?”
“Master!”
Seeing her most trusted master, Lin Xixue’s pent-up grievance and sorrow erupted, and she ran over to cry in her embrace.
“Master!”
“Xixue, what’s wrong? Tell me!”
Taken aback, Zhao Nishang had never seen her disciple so heartbroken.
However, Lin Xixue just sobbed without saying a word.
At this point, Wang Haoran interjected.
“Aunt, senior sister... I think it’s because you asked her to move out yesterday, so she thought you were kicking her out, and got scared.”
“As a good junior” Wang Haoran couldn’t bear seeing his senior sister so upset, and began to speak for her:
“Also, she came to me early in the morning to apologize, saying she didn’t mean it yesterday, begging my forgiveness.”
“......Is this so...”
Zhao Nishang hadn’t expected this, hugging Lin Xixue with pity.
“Xixue, I just wanted you to reflect, not to kick you out!”
At this moment, Wang Haoran walked over and patted Lin Xixue’s shoulder.
“Aunt, maybe let senior sister move back? She’s already reflected.”
“Yes, Master, I realized my mistake, I shouldn’t have treated junior brother as an outsider.”
Lin Xixue instinctively responded.
She looked up at her master while speaking.
Under their cooperative act, Zhao Nishang was convinced.
“That’s right! You two are siblings now!”
Feeling reassured, she held both their hands, then clasped them together.
“We are family now!”
......
After moving Lin Xixue’s room back.
Wang Haoran led Lin Xixue out of the Second Peak.
He knew Li Yuan would still go through his routine today; after all, Li Yuan’s inner voice started sounding off as they hadn’t even left the gate.
Sure enough—
“Xixue, I love you!”
(Wow! They’re walking shoulder to shoulder! Such fast progress... huh? Why does the dumb girl look like she’s been crying?)
(Forget it, I’ll just focus on my storyline!)
Once outside, Li Yuan as usual, came running with flowers.
However, something different today was, besides Li Yuan, another person was waiting there.
Wang Haoran walked over to her.
“...Hao, Haoran!”
Qian Anning also mimicked her senior brother, cheerfully running over.
She held a large bag in her hands.
“Haoran, I, I found lots of cultivation resources while sorting my belongings yesterday, I couldn’t use them up...”
“Leaving them would be wasteful... so I brought them to you...”
Her shiny big eyes looked at Wang Haoran expectantly, hoping he’d accept them.
Such enthusiasm, Wang Haoran naturally wouldn’t refuse.
“Thank you! Junior sister!”
“Hehe, you’re welcome!”
Qian Anning beamed happily.
Because at this moment, her senior brother had just tried giving something, only to be rejected by Senior Sister Lin.
And for her, on her first attempt, Wang Haoran accepted!
Indeed, the difference between love and indifference is apparent!
Feeling inexplicably proud, Qian Anning moved closer to Wang Haoran, brushing their arms together lightly.
“Hehe...”
However.
The giggling Qian Anning was unaware that from afar, a figure secretly observed her.
Clutching her chest, as if enraged.
“Qian! An! Ning!”
“Why are you following your senior brother’s footsteps, specially running to give gifts?!”
“And you claim the cultivation resources couldn’t be used up! If they couldn’t, why didn’t you honor your Master with some?!”
That large bag had at least two months’ worth of Qian Anning’s cultivation resources!
Realizing the hard-earned resources for the two disciples were generously given away.
She felt like she was about to explode with anger!
“Two Bootlickers in One Sect!”
“What a disaster!”
