"Husband, do you want to know how long it’ll take before I make a sound?"
"Not tonight," Lu Jin’an took the scroll from her hands, "Rein yourself in."
"Then can I at least sleep with you?" Zhu Nanzhi asked for the next best thing.
Lu Jin’an nodded. If he didn’t settle this little frail girl, he wouldn’t be able to go to the Master’s quarters.
"Hehe~" Zhu Nanzhi shot a look at Mu Qingyue, as if to say, "Have you ever slept on the same bed with husband?"
Mu Qingyue returned Zhu Nanzhi’s smile, thinking yesterday was yesterday; today is today. Do you think you can continue to be smug on Taichu Peak forever?
Past noon, the guests who drank too much gathered around, boasting about things that weren’t all that impressive. It was at this time when Zheng Dongliu signaled his disciples that they could leave as they pleased.
Clearly, these usually distant sect leaders had important matters to discuss.
With a pomelo still cradled in her arms, Pei Wanyu gave a glance at her obedient disciple who wanted to hang out with his friends a little longer, then said to Qingyue beside her, "Let’s head back."
"Okay." Mu Qingyue nodded, tilting her head to ’look’ at Zhu Nanzhi, "What about you? Want to stay by our Junior Brother’s side to make an impression?"
Zhu Nanzhi shook her head—if it was just her, she’d love to stay by her husband’s side all the time. But with Mu Qingyue as a rival, pressing too much on her husband’s private space would only have the opposite effect.
"Master, are you going to stay for a while?" Zhu Nanzhi looked at Xiao Yinruo.
"No." Xiao Yinruo shook his head, "I’ve left the matters to Yi Beiyao."
"That’s unlike you." Pei Wanyu said as she walked.
Descending the stairs, Xiao Yinruo resumed the aloof demeanor of Qingmiao Palace Master, "I just have a thought I want to try."
"Divine Concealment?"
"Yes." Xiao Yinruo nodded.
Pei Wanyu asked no more, as she had only a shallow understanding of her friend’s Forget Love Path.
After all, she didn’t need to comprehend various Paths to break through.
Mu Qingyue and Zhu Nanzhi followed behind the two, one pondering how to handle Zhu Nanzhi, the other thinking of how to entice her husband to lose control during sleep tonight.
They returned to the serene Taichu Peak in silence. Xiao Yinruo couldn’t help but ask, "How long are you going to carry that pomelo?"
Sitting under the shade on the Beauty Couch, Pei Wanyu placed the pomelo beside her, her gaze sweeping over Mu Qingyue and Zhu Nanzhi, and said with a chuckle, "Jin’an said he wanted to eat it up, so I brought it back."
"Master, Brother Jin’an really likes eating pomelos." Zhu Nanzhi added, "After all, he’s not interested in small fruits."
Mu Qingyue snorted lightly, "No matter how delicious the fruit is, if you eat it all the time, there will come a time when you get tired of it."
Zhu Nanzhi laughed a little, "You don’t know if he likes big fruits or small fruits? Even if he does get tired of it and switches to others, there have to be other options."
"You are indeed a good person." Mu Qingyue nodded, "Willing to let him eat other fruits..."
After a pause, she suddenly said to Pei Wanyu, "Mother’s is not small either."
Pei Wanyu was momentarily stunned, what did Qingyue mean by this?
Zhu Nanzhi instinctively glanced at Pei Wanyu, then retracted her gaze, "Are you joking about letting him eat your mother?"
Mu Qingyue said nothing, just ’looked’ at Pei Wanyu, her sole purpose in saying so was to stop ’mother’ from considering her and seeing her as a rival.
This way, her relationship with Junior Brother could thrive rapidly.
Pei Wanyu lounged lazily on the Beauty Couch, "You want mother to help you? Can’t you deal with that featherless chick?"
Mu Qingyue said lightly, "Is it bad?"
Zhu Nanzhi looked at Mu Qingyue, feeling something odd.
She wanted Mu Qingyue to break away from Senior Pei’s ’parental orders,’ yet Mu Qingyue seemed to want to drag Senior Pei into the water?
Pei Wanyu didn’t quite understand her ’daughter’s’ thoughts, so she didn’t speak immediately.
Zhu Nanzhi frowned slightly, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit off?
At this moment, Xiao Yinruo, who was listening to their conversation, glanced at Qingyue, then at her friend, as an absurd idea floated to her mind.
"Did you take your disciple’s first time?" Xiao Yinruo blurted out.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Nanzhi recalled a conversation with her Master when she first returned to the sect and couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
Mu Qingyue’s virginity mark was still intact, Senior Pei was Mu Qingyue’s mother, and her husband was not pleased during their first night together, while the senior of Wandao Sect was known for his integrity...
Plus, Mu Qingyue couldn’t possibly let her husband fool around outside and she’d never heard the names of any other women from her mouth.
So... Senior Pei was the culprit???
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Pei Wanyu rolled her eyes at her friend, "You really have a wild imagination."
Mu Qingyue furrowed her delicate brows, looking at Zhu Nanzhi, was it not she who took Junior Brother’s first time?
As for mother... she’s always been thinking for herself, it couldn’t be her. If it was mother, it would be evident from her interactions with Junior Brother.
"It’s not." Mu Qingyue said to Xiao Yinruo, then immediately asked, "Why does Palace Master Xiao say so?"
"Because of Nanzhi." Xiao Yinruo glanced at her disciple.
Zhu Nanzhi pursed her lips, hesitatingly said, "Master, your theory might not suit husband..."
Pei Wanyu found the situation amusing as she looked at them, and thus she said with a smile, "But indeed, you weren’t Jin’an’s first, you know."
"Hmm?" Zhu Nanzhi stared at Pei Wanyu, "Really?"
"Jin’an told me himself." Pei Wanyu nipped a segment of pomelo as she lay sideways on the Beauty Couch, "On the night we returned to Wandao Sect, though I don’t know who it was."
Seeing Zhu Nanzhi and Mu Qingyue frown simultaneously, Pei Wanyu placed the pomelo on her lips—the scene was quite interesting.
Mu Qingyue quickly eased her brows; after all, it wasn’t hers...
Zhu Nanzhi felt a bit conflicted inside, who had her husband gotten involved with during his years at Wandao Sect?
Yet, Senior Pei claimed not to know...
With Senior Pei helping Mu Qingyue, she couldn’t have allowed her husband to find someone else, so what was the situation exactly?
A light breeze passed by, and the silence didn’t last long because Lu Jin’an’s footsteps echoed on Taichu Peak’s stone steps, and soon he walked into their view.
Lu Jin’an paused, sensing the atmosphere was off kilter.
His gaze rapidly swept over the four faces present, and Lu Jin’an’s smile slightly faded... not knowing what had transpired, he chose to remain silent first.
"Husband~" Zhu Nanzhi couldn’t help but speak.
"Who took your first time?"
Her tone was very serious.
