After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

She lowered her head and returned the gesture in a similar manner to the girl in the black robe.

Chapter 101, I'm Actually a Man

"Hey! Why?"

The girl in black robes was taken aback and asked in return.

"Well... I'm already engaged, so it's not appropriate for me to be alone in a room with another woman. Besides, I can't believe it myself. I'm really sorry I can't help you."

Feng Ling lowered her head earnestly, and didn't seem to be joking.

The girl in black robes was puzzled. No... she wasn't a man, so what was she afraid of?

They're all women, could it be...?

The girl in the black robe raised her eyebrows slightly, before she could even voice her question.

Feng Ling stood up first. She looked at Xiao Yu, who was picking up his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish, and said, "Excuse me, I have to leave for a moment. By the way, Ye Ba, can you come over? I have something to say."

After saying that, she left her seat hastily, ignoring the awkward atmosphere, leaving only the girl in black robes and a few others looking at each other.

"Um...did I do something wrong?"

Watching Feng Ling's departing figure, the girl in black robes looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled expression and asked, her pink and white eyes filled with unease beneath the hood.

Feng Ling is meticulous, knowledgeable, and the most trustworthy person among the group. She is also very approachable and has arranged all the events surrounding the establishment of the sect, making her the strategist of the group.

Now that she had suddenly left, even the carefree and nonchalant girl in black robes sensed something was amiss.

Could it be that she did something wrong in the matter of inviting someone to dinner and asking for their help, and unintentionally offended the gentle Feng Ling?

With this question in mind, the girl in black robes turned her gaze to another reliable member of the group.

"It shouldn't be your problem, don't worry, I'll go check it out."

Xiao Yu put down his chopsticks and stood up. He had a rough idea of ​​why Feng Ling had suddenly left.

What a hassle! I finally had a chance to have a big meal, and so much trouble has arisen. Sure enough, none of the people in his team are easy to deal with.

After offering some words of comfort to the girl in black robes, Xiao Yu left his seat and followed the direction Feng Ling had gone. He eventually found the pretty "woman" in a secluded spot by the window.

"You've arrived... Ye Ba."

At this moment, she was leaning against the window gazing into the distance, her voice low, her poetic eyes looking at the well-maintained street below.

The recent news of the discovery of the Fengqiu Secret Realm has attracted many people.

Originally, this place was just a desolate wasteland. After Liu Tongxiu took the lead in building a series of buildings, such as inns, some cultivators who came after hearing about it followed suit and built some buildings as well.

Perhaps this place will become a bustling area in the future.

A gentle breeze swept across the street, passing through the cracks in the open window, lifting Feng Ling's thick, fine black hair as she leaned against the window. The fluttering strands of hair, combined with her delicate profile, created a unique scene.

However, Xiao Yu remained unmoved, and even felt that what was about to happen might be a bit troublesome.

"That fortune teller with the Golden Core Realm cat, isn't he actually the reclusive fortune teller Bu Suantian who lives deep in the mountains?"

Sure enough, the next moment, Feng Ling said something like this. Although it sounded like a question, her tone was very confident.

"Ah."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "As expected," and nodded without denying it.

He wanted to cover up Bu Suantian's identity, but there was nothing he could do!

I guess they've been living in the mountains for too long and have no sense of crisis. They don't even have the common sense to hide their identity and use a pseudonym when they're out and about.

She foolishly uttered the first two characters of her name. If Xiao Yu hadn't quickly covered her mouth, the last character, "Tian," would have already slipped out. At that time, she couldn't even use a pseudonym like "Bu Suanzi," and her identity would have been recognized on the spot.

But this can only buy you a little time. See! You've been recognized now.

Feng Ling wasn't as oblivious as the girl in the black robe. The clues revealed by Bu Suantian were already quite obvious, and since this matter was closely related to her, she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

Having received Xiao Yu's affirmation, Feng Ling's eyes instantly sharpened. With her "brother's" killer right in front of her, who could remain calm?

Unfortunately, it was just a thought, and the furious anger in his eyes quickly subsided.

After spending these few days together, she also discovered that Bu Suantian was not the kind of unscrupulous fortune teller she had imagined, who would stop at nothing to earn spirit stones as long as he achieved his goal.

On the contrary, the person was very kind and would even share pastries with her, so she couldn't bring herself to eat them.

More importantly, Bu Suantian is a Nascent Soul cultivator, a whole realm higher than her, plus that Golden Core realm cat.

Cough cough... She can't beat him.

The deed is done, and there's no point in dwelling on it. I doubt Bu Suantian did it on purpose.

Thinking of this, Feng Ling's state of mind calmed down considerably; it was a matter of cause and effect.

Didn't she put in a lot of effort to participate in the secret realm this time?

That evens things out.

So, Feng Ling composed herself and solemnly said to Xiao Yu:

"Since that's the case, there are some things I won't hide from you, my partner in the divination path. I believe that as a fellow man, you should understand me, actually..."

Feng Ling took a deep breath, then looked into Xiao Yu's brown eyes and slowly spoke.

"Actually, I am a man. The reason I am in this state is because I accidentally ate a herb that can improve a person's aptitude. It is a side effect that has caused me to become like this."

After saying that, she glanced at Xiao Yu cautiously, hoping that he wouldn't make too much of a commotion and attract the attention of Bu Suantian and the others.

To her surprise, not a single pixel on Xiao Yu's face changed.

Instead, they looked at me with an expression that seemed to say, "That's all? I thought it was something important. Keep talking."

Feng Ling: "..."

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Oh! Right, holy crap! Feng Ling, you're actually a man, my God!"

Reminded by Feng Ling, Xiao Yu realized that his attitude had been too bland, so he hurriedly put on an exaggerated acting performance.

"..."

To be honest, Xiao Yu already had a bad feeling after Feng Ling revealed that she knew about the Divination Heaven.

Especially after hearing the words "as a Daoist partner for divination," cold sweat began to break out on his back.

Be obedient...

Could it be that Feng Ling harbors resentment towards Bu Suantian for turning her into this state, but since he is only at the Nascent Soul stage and difficult to target, she has instead turned her attention to him, her so-called Daoist partner, intending to use him as a breakthrough point to exact revenge?

It seems that the matter of Daoist partners still needs to be clarified, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.

As it turned out, Xiao Yu was overthinking things. Feng Ling only decided to be honest with him because of his identity as a divination partner.

This was utterly boring, to the point that Xiao Yu, who was clutching the talisman and preparing to run away, felt that was all there was to it.

He already knew that Feng Ling was actually a man. Knowing that he already knew, he naturally couldn't show any surprise.

"Sigh! Well, it seems that Bu Suantian has already told you, my Daoist partner, about the matter. This saves me some trouble, and things will be easier from here on out."

Xiao Yu's exaggerated acting skills naturally couldn't fool Feng Ling, who sighed helplessly and used this opportunity to explain why she had called Xiao Yu out this time:

"I hope that Black Fiend can stay in your room for the next three days before the secret realm opens?"

Chapter 102, Men and Men, Women and Women

"In my room, are you sure?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu put away his exaggerated acting skills and looked at Feng Ling, whose eyes were sparkling, and asked in confusion.

The room he and Bu Suantian shared was indeed a double room. Logically speaking, considering Bu Suantian's petite frame, the room was indeed much larger than the single room Feng Ling and the others shared.

But... wouldn't this have a negative impact?

Sharing a room with Bu Suantian is bad enough, but adding a girl in black robes on top of that...

Xiao Yu remained silent. To outsiders, he would be seen as a shameless gigolo who squeezed into a room with two beautiful young women.

"What are you thinking? It can't be like that..."

Without needing to say more, Feng Ling, who used to be a man, only needed to glance at Xiao Yu's strange expression to immediately guess what he was thinking.

With a sigh, she had no choice but to continue explaining in detail.

After a thorough explanation, Xiao Yu understood Feng Ling's meaning and why she had called him out alone.

the reason is simple.

It was still because the girl in black robes had nowhere to go. Feng Ling herself was engaged, and the wedding was to be held in a few months.

At such a crucial and sensitive time, there can be no more rumors about her having ambiguous relationships with other women, even if she is in this special situation now.

Moreover, she is quite traditional. What if she were to share a room with the girl in the black robe and be asked to be intimate with other girls?

He couldn't tell her he was a man either; the girl in the black robe didn't seem like someone who could keep her mouth shut, and who knew when she might accidentally let it slip.

As expected of the team's strategist, Feng Ling is meticulous in her thinking. Xiao Yu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. In this regard, Feng Ling is just as cautious as a certain cowardly little dumpling.

Feng Ling merely chuckled a few times and said, "My wife is very strict." A bitter smile appeared on his handsome face.

Xiao Yu blinked, and in a daze realized something. He instantly became respectful and patted his chest, assuring everyone that he would handle the matter well.

Getting back to the main point, Feng Ling's solution was to have the girl in black robes stay in the double room with Bu Suantian.

As for Xiao Yu... if all else fails, come to her room. Anyway, there are two men, cough cough... in essence, it's fine for the two of them to squeeze into one room.

Originally, she had considered the masked figure, but... although he cultivated the Righteous Qi Technique and his personality was not a concern, in actual contact, he was ultimately not as reassuring as Xiao Yu, with whom she had been working from the beginning.

Moreover, she was observant. Although she didn't know why, Xiao Yu seemed to be subtly wary of the masked figure, as if he was extremely resistant to him and was afraid of being alone with him.

That's why I'm considering this.

Why look for Xiao Yu instead of the room's owner, Bu Suantian?
