Chapter 186: Roleplay Troubles

“I dare you to try,” came Fairy Fengya’s cold voice. “Ye Meijing’s’’ hand froze in mid-air, ultimately not daring to release the Mute Point, obediently leading the way forward.

As they entered the dining hall, many people glanced at “Ye Wenxin” and “Ye Meijing”, whispering among themselves.

“So, that’s Ye Wenxin?”

“She doesn’t seem particularly remarkable.”

“If you stand on the ring and withstand a single move from her, I’ll kneel and kowtow to you!”

In just one day, Ye Wenxin once again caused a stir among the crowd. The conversations around them continued, with people half-believing the legends surrounding Ye Wenxin. “Ye Meijing” tried her best to ignore them, using her disciple token to order some dishes and quickly bringing them back.

The focus shifted back to “Ye Meijing”, completely unaware of how another woman had appeared by Ye Wenxin’s side again.

“Speaking of which, it’s rumored that Ye Wenxin is quite fond of women and has been involved with multiple disciples.”

“Really? That’s surprising, considering we already have so few female disciples.”

These comments were followed by sighs, leaving “Ye Meijing” feeling even more helpless. She didn’t understand what she had done to cause such a strange misunderstanding; currently unable to speak, she could only sit unwillingly next to Fairy Fengya.

Fairy Fengya simply glanced at “Ye Meijing”, before lifting her chopsticks to eat. She ate slowly, with an indescribable elegance. Even though it was just a face, when Fairy Fengya used it, it seemed to possess a kind of magic that captivated everyone’s gaze.

“Eat.” Noticing “Ye Meijing’s” overly presumptuous gaze, Fairy Fengya picked up a spirit vegetable and placed it in “Ye Meijing’s” bowl. Her voice remained indifferent, but this gesture carried a hint of thoughtfulness.

“Ye Meijing”, muted, ate the spirit vegetable; was it her imagination, or did it seem that even the vegetable was imbued with the ‘delicious’ attribute?

No more words were exchanged. Apart from their table, lively discussions went on around them, focusing on various aspects of the Immortal Sect Grand Tournament.

“So this is where you were, Wenxin.” A woman’s voice startled “Ye Meijing”, who was still eating. She had been so focused on watching Fairy Fengya eat that she had forgotten to check her surroundings.

“Ye Meijing” looked up to see Long Qing’er standing in front of “Ye Wenxin”; she was dressed in a light purple dress, her face veiled, revealing only a pair of stunning eyes filled with a touch of joy.

Needless to say, Long Qing’er had advanced smoothly in today’s competition. However, she was surprised by Ye Wenxin’s advancement; she had thought Wenxin was deliberately hiding her abilities and had planned to teach her a lesson. Yet, today’s “Ye Wenxin” was unexpectedly icy.

Upon seeing her, “Ye Wenxin” only gave a faint glance before returning her attention to her dinner.

Long Qing’er felt a bit awkward, thinking that her assistance to Ye Wenxin yesterday had been discovered. However, after observing Ye Wenxin’s demeanor more closely, she couldn’t shake the feeling of her icy gaze, immediately reminding her of Fairy Fengya.

“Wenxin, are you trying to imitate Fairy Fengya?” Long Qing’er thought “Ye Wenxin” was deliberately mimicking Fairy Fengya’s demeanor to tease her. After scrutinizing her appearance, Long Qing’er continued, “The expression is quite similar, but your facial features are a bit off.”

The real Ye Wenxin listened with a wry smile from the side. However, with her Mute Point sealed, she couldn’t explain this strange misunderstanding.

Hearing this, Fairy Fengya, in the guise of “Ye Wenxin”, finally stopped eating and swallowed her food properly before looking at Long Qing’er.

Long Qing’er felt a slight nervousness under her gaze. However, upon careful examination, she couldn’t find any flaws in Ye Wenxin’s disguise.

“Even your gaze is similar; Master always stares at me like that.” Long Qing’er exclaimed excitedly, completely unaware that the “Ye Wenxin” before her was actually Fairy Fengya herself.

In the inner sect, disciples had the privilege of addressing Fairy Fengya as ‘Master’ or ‘School Master’. However, due to everyone’s understanding of Fairy Fengya’s unattainable status, they usually referred to her simply as ‘Fairy Fengya’. Very few were like Long Qing’er, so dedicated and daring to address Fairy Fengya as ‘Master’.

Seeing Long Qing’er completely unaware that the person before her was actually Fairy Fengya, “Ye Meijing” couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat for her; she was genuinely worried that if Fairy Fengya’s identity was exposed one day, Long Qing’er would’ve been so embarrassed knowing she had spoken to Fairy Fengya in such a manner, that she would run back to the Golden Age Dynasty in shame.

Thinking of this, “Ye Meijing” planned to use a silver needle to release her Mute Point and explain the situation to Long Qing’er. However, as soon as she reached out, a hand grabbed hers. She looked up to see the cold gaze of Fairy Fengya, who was slowly shaking her head.

“Who’s this?” Long Qing’er finally snapped out of her excitement from earlier and looked at “Ye Meijing”.

“Ye Meijing” could only point to her throat and shake her head at Long Qing’er.

“Is this a new little sister you’ve taken in, Wenxin?” Long Qing’er suddenly realized, but she didn’t inquire about why “Ye Meijing” couldn’t speak.

Now, rather than this new person, Long Qing’er was much more curious about why she found “Ye Wenxin” increasingly pleasing to the eye.

“Wenxin, did you lose a bet or something, that you’ve been pretending to be Fairy Fengya all this time?” Long Qing’er came up with another possibility and was about to interrogate “Ye Wenxin”, but in the end, she just held “Ye Wenxin’s” hand.

“Ye Meijing’s” face paled as she watched and listened as Long Qing’er, completely unaware, continued, “Why does your hand feel so cold? Are you feeling unwell? It used to be warm before. How about Senior Sister help warm your bed tonight and soothe your nerves?”

Long Qing’er continued her teasing; to be fair, she was the least ambiguous with “Ye Meijing” among everyone. Because Long Qing’er was infatuated with Fairy Fengya, she always maintained a friendly, sisterly relationship with Ye Wenxin.

The troubling part was that Long Qing’er often spoke in an ambiguous manner. “Ye Meijing”, feeling the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, desperately tried to signal her with her eyes. However, Long Qing’er completely failed to understand what “Ye Meijing” was trying to convey.

“What’s wrong with your little sister? She’s been blinking non-stop since earlier. You should know that subordinates should always remain in their place, and should never be allowed to overstep their boundaries,” Long Qing’er continued her lecture. Her tone towards Ye Wenxin was gentle, but she regarded “Ye Meijing” with the coldness of a superior.
