Chapter 138 Secret Love
"Whoosh-"
A gust of cold wind swept by, and many disciples of Shuqiu Pavilion suddenly shivered. They instinctively hugged their magical artifacts tighter, feeling even colder now.
A gentle and charming young girl stood quietly in the crowd. Her gaze lingered on Bai Jinyan, Feng Xiyue, and Chu Wenqing. For some unknown reason, a smile of excitement appeared on her lips as she muttered to herself.
"He likes her, but she likes him... Childhood sweethearts' affection couldn't withstand the test of time... Alas, poor senior brother... so pathetic..."
The disciple standing next to the girl helplessly wiped his face.
This isn't the first time my second senior sister has acted like this. Usually, she's such a quiet and gentle person, but whenever she encounters someone from the Lingxiao Sect, she likes to stare at them and whisper to them, and she even smiles in such a... lewd way.
The eldest brother is the same; whenever he encounters someone from the Lingxiao Sect, he becomes sarcastic and indifferent, completely losing his usual demeanor.
The disciple sighed silently.
Could it be that Shuqiu Pavilion and Lingxiao Sect are at odds?
Over there, Su Luo glanced at the crushed magic weapon, then at Bai Jinyan whose smile was still welded to his face, and finally her gaze fell on Feng Xiyue and Chu Wenqing, who were standing very close to each other not far away.
She blinked, then blinked again, and after a while, a sudden inspiration struck her.
No way? No way, no way, it can't be what she guessed, can it?!
Could it be... that Bai Jinyan likes Feng Xiyue?! Or rather, that he cares about her a lot?!
Su Luo was excited, her gossip-loving heart burning brightly. She quickly moved closer to Song Qiao and whispered her question.
Su Luo had no idea that Lin Ji, far away in the Demon Realm, had already seen everything through the Blood Jade Bracelet. When he saw Su Luo sneakily approaching the boy named Song Qiao, he was so angry that he crushed the armrest of his chair.
Of course, Su Luo was unaware of all this at the moment; she was enthusiastically trying to get information out of Song Qiao.
"Song Qiao, have you had a lot of dealings with Bai Jinyan before? You seem to know each other quite well."
Without giving it a second thought, Song Qiao nodded and replied, "Yes, we have some acquaintance. Mainly my senior sister and Bai Jinyan... we've known each other since childhood, so we have some connection. Later, we would occasionally run into each other while doing missions, so we've had some interactions..."
Nowadays, as long as Song Qiao speaks slowly, he doesn't stutter as much as before, and his speech becomes more and more fluent.
Su Luo continued to probe, "Does Bai Jinyan not get along with you? Why does it seem like Chu Wenqing doesn't like him?"
"Yes. In fact... Shuqiu Pavilion has been eyeing the positions of the four major sects and doesn't have a good relationship with our Lingxiao Sect. I heard that Bai Jinyan doesn't get along with Senior Sister either. Every time he sees Senior Sister... he grabs her and says some ambiguous things, mocking her for not having good taste and not choosing Shuqiu Pavilion."
Song Qiao paused for a moment, "And for some reason, he seemed to be targeting us. He would say things that would upset our second senior brother... Our second senior brother would fight him when he got angry, but he would always beat him so badly that he couldn't get up... Over time, we became enemies."
That's why Song Qiao and Chu Wenqing always seemed so wary whenever they saw Bai Jinyan.
"I see."
Su Luo nodded in realization, but her mind was screaming wildly: "That's it! It's exactly what I thought! Bai Jinyan must have feelings for Feng Xiyue!"
She was right! No wonder Bai Jinyan's words were so sarcastic! No wonder he crushed the magic weapon in his hand as soon as he saw Feng Xiyue and Chu Wenqing standing so close!
So this smiling tiger is secretly jealous of Feng Xiyue and can't stand anyone getting close to her! What an eccentric fellow.
Song Qiao, unaware that Su Luo had already guessed the truth, couldn't help but sigh deeply, his handsome face full of confusion.
“Sometimes I just don’t understand… Even though the Lingxiao Sect and Shuqiu Pavilion don’t get along, Bai Jinyan is known for his kind nature. He’s gentle to everyone, and he’s tolerant and magnanimous even if someone has opposed him. But somehow, he just doesn’t like us. We haven’t offended him at all. I really don’t know why…”
Hearing this, Su Luo's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but glance at Song Qiao with pity.
Why else could it be? Of course it's because you and Chu Wenqing are always bothering Feng Xiyue, which has made that smiling tiger jealous and unhappy!
Moreover... if she guessed correctly, Bai Jinyan was likely still in unrequited love, and Feng Xiyue was completely unaware! That's why she was able to say those words just now, making Bai Jinyan so angry that he almost vomited blood!
This is... so interesting!
Bai Jinyan, a refined and ethereal figure in the cultivation world, who is admired by all, secretly harbors a crush on Feng Xiyue! No one, not even Chu Wenqing, could have imagined this, right?
Su Luo was incredibly excited inside, but her face remained calm and composed.
To avoid frightening the innocent child, Su Luo didn't say anything, but silently patted his shoulder to comfort him, then turned her head to watch the show with great interest.
Interesting! What surprises will Bai Jinyan bring her next?
At this moment, a disciple of Shuqiu Pavilion, smelling the aroma of fish soup in the air, swallowed hard and finally couldn't resist the temptation. He came over and reminded him, "Senior Brother, do we... still want to ask about the fish soup?"
They had been in the Xuanbing Realm for most of the day. Although they had many magical treasures to keep them warm and prevent them from freezing, they were still shivering with cold. They wanted some hot water but found that they couldn't light a flame. Just as they were feeling miserable, their second senior sister said she smelled fish soup, so they rushed over to see if they could buy some.
I never expected to see people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Lingxiao Sect here. Not only was it not a pleasant experience, but my senior brother was also acting too normally, standing there for ages without reacting...
Reminded by the disciple, Bai Jinyan finally remembered the important matter. He took a deep breath, then gently waved his hand to dismiss the disciple. "I understand. You two find a sheltered place to set up camp first. I'll inquire about the situation and see if we can buy fish soup."
"Yes." The disciple withdrew as instructed.
Bai Jinyan closed his eyes, gathered his thoughts, and then walked to the other side of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to ask some disciples about the situation.
The female disciples were very enthusiastic and quickly explained the situation clearly. After understanding the situation, Bai Jinyan thanked them gently, thinking to himself that it was indeed so.
He had just noticed the huge alchemy furnace, which clearly smelled of fish soup. Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue were standing near the furnace, acting like the owners. So he guessed that the fish soup belonged to the Lingxiao Sect.
He just didn't expect there to be such an unexpected surprise...
Fire Cloud Pepper?
In this realm of profound ice, the Fire Cloud Pepper is a rare spiritual plant that can save lives, worth a fortune. A single Fire Cloud Pepper is more useful than countless magical treasures for keeping warm, making it a coveted item for everyone.
No wonder Bai Xun of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would take the initiative to seek out Feng Xiyue and the others for a deal. Their Shuqiu Pavilion certainly wouldn't let such a valuable item slip by.
However, his relationship with the members of the Lingxiao Sect had never been good...
Considering this, Bai Jinyan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before turning to observe Su Luo not far away, his eyes deep.
The girl was sitting in the tent, resting her chin on her hand and looking in this direction. It was unclear what she had seen, but her smile was captivating.
According to the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, this girl is very mysterious, and no one knows her exact origins, but Feng Xiyue and the other two are very obedient to her. If you want to negotiate a deal, it's best to start with her; as long as she agrees, the other three will definitely not object.
He sounds like a smart person...
Thinking of this, Bai Jinyan raised a warm smile like spring water and walked gracefully toward Su Luo.
They're both smart people; if there's something to gain, the other party probably won't refuse him easily...
Su Luo had already noticed Bai Jinyan's scrutinizing gaze. Seeing this, a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes as she waited with great interest for him to come over.
Let her meet Bai Jinyan.
