Junior Sister must ascend this time!

"Immoral? Did you do something to wrong her?"

Pei Shubai grabbed the ears of the two eavesdropping "little mice," and said, "Come on, tell me how you plan to catch me?"

"Um?"

"Big...Senior Brother." Si Mingche turned his head with difficulty, chuckled, "You're here. We'll be going now if there's nothing else..."

Pei Shubai tightened her grip. "Where are you going? Weren't you going to drag me here?"

Si Mingche clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture, "Senior Brother, you must have misheard me, it's true! If you don't believe me, ask Junior Sister."

After saying that, he blinked frantically at Yun Qing.

Pei Shubai loosened Yun Qing's ear, "Don't look down on Junior Sister, you've corrupted her!"

Si Mingche:? ? ?

Yun Qingyi said righteously, "That's right. Our senior brother is outstanding in appearance, handsome, upright, gentle and reliable. How could he possibly do something to betray a girl?"

"This is clearly a misunderstanding! Third Senior Brother, how could you think of Eldest Senior Brother like that?"

Si Mingche: ? ? ? Didn't you just say those words?

Well, I guess I have to take the blame for what my junior sister gave me.

Pei Shubai kicked Si Mingche in the butt. "Take your junior sister back. I'll settle accounts with you after I've dealt with this!"

Si Mingche touched his bottom with tears in his eyes, "I understand, Senior Brother..."

He pulled Yun Qing and started to walk back, saying, "Let's go back."

"Why are you leaving before the excitement is over?" Yun Qing said softly, watching Pei Shubai's retreating figure. "Third Senior Brother, wouldn't you like to get closer and watch the drama unfold?"

"Of course I want to!"

Si Mingche realized his voice was a bit loud and quickly covered his mouth, then lowered his voice, "Why are you looking so closely? If Senior Brother finds out, I'll get beaten up again."

Yun Qing gave a wicked smile, and Si Mingche immediately understood.

The two applied invisibility talismans and consumed the concealment pills that Yun Qing had just developed, then quietly hid in the bushes not far from them.

Si Mingche said in a low voice, "Isn't this Ling Yue from the Biyun Sect?"

Yun Qing: "You know her?"

Si Mingche nodded, "I bought quite a few pills from their sect before."

"She usually wears all turquoise, why is she wearing all red today? Otherwise, I wouldn't have failed to recognize her."

Yun Qing feigned deep thought, "Could it be that he was deceived by his senior brother and turned to the dark side?"

Si Mingche silently gave a thumbs up, "That makes sense!"

Ling Yue put her hands on her hips and looked at Pei Shubai, "Why did it take you so long to arrive?"

Pei Shubai frowned. "Didn't I tell you in the communication jade pendant that I've been a bit busy lately? I'll explain when I'm done."

Ling Yue: "I don't care, I have to see you. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep!"

She pointed to her eyes, "I haven't been sleeping well since we parted ways last time, and I've got dark circles under my eyes!"

Yun Qing and Si Mingche: "Wow~"

Pei Shubai sighed helplessly, "Asking me about this is useless; I need my junior sister's permission too."

Ling Yue: "Then, Senior Brother Pei, could you introduce me to your junior sister? If you agree, I'll find a way to get her on board."

Pei Shubai sighed, "Alright."

Yun Qing: ??? "What does this have to do with me?"

Si Mingche: "Junior Sister, do you hold a higher position in Senior Brother's heart than the Sect Leader? Why does their affair need your approval?"

Yun Qing: "I want to know too!"

While the two were still in a daze, two stones suddenly flew over and hit them on the head.

"Aww!"

"Who is it!"

Pei Shubai dusted off his hands. "Stop eavesdropping, come out."

Yun Qing and Si Mingche had no choice but to tear off their invisibility talismans and slink out.

"Senior Brother, how did you find us?"

Pei Shubai crossed his arms. "Logically speaking, with your invisibility talismans and pills that conceal your presence, I shouldn't be able to detect your existence. But..."

"Could you please speak a little quieter? Are you afraid we can't hear you?"

Yun Qing scratched her head. "Sorry, I forgot."

Ling Yue held Yun Qing's hand, her eyes shining. "You must be Pei Shubai's junior sister? I have something I'd like to talk to you about, is that alright?"

Yun Qing hesitated for a moment: "Ah? I can't make decisions about your marriage..."

Pei Shubai slapped her on the back of the head, "What are you thinking about at such a young age! Ling Yue came here specifically to ask you about the poison pill."

Ling Yue smiled and nodded at Yun Qing's head. "Don't worry, I won't like your senior brother. Men will only hinder my ascension."

Yun Qing blushed slightly. "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Ling Yue."

Ling Yue grew to like the girl more and more. She had heard about what the girl had done in the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm, but unfortunately she hadn't witnessed it herself last time.

She's beautiful, talented, and still quite adorable!

She grabbed Yun Qing's hand. "Come on, let's talk alone."

After the two left, Pei Shubai also left.

Si Mingche wanted to ask but didn't dare. He followed behind Pei Shubai, hesitant to speak, yet still wanting to speak.

Pei Shubai finally stopped. He knew that if he didn't explain things clearly, his third junior brother would imagine a whole drama, and might even name his child for him.

"Alright, stop speculating. I have absolutely no connection with Ling Yue."

"When you and Junior Sister went to the Illusionary Spirit Clan last time, she and I both received missions to go to the border between the Demon Clan and the Cultivation Realm to quell the Demon Clan's small-scale attacks on the border."

"At that time, she and I were surrounded by demons, and I had almost used up all the talismans and magical artifacts I had. In desperation, I threw a handful of poison pills made by my junior sister at them, and the demons immediately collapsed and could not get up."

"Ever since then, Lingyue has been pestering me about the poison pill. We were busy eliminating evil cultivators recently and forgot to reply to her, so she came here. Do you understand?"

Si Mingche nodded blankly, then said with a hint of disappointment, "That's it?"

Pei Shubai: "Otherwise what?"

"What a waste of my feelings!" Si Mingche yawned. "I should have gone to fight Fourth Junior Brother instead."

Pei Shubai: ………

Upon learning that Ling Yue was interested in the poison pill, Yun Qing took her directly to her courtyard.

Fearing that some disciples in the sect might accidentally come into contact with poisonous spiritual plants, she specially designated an area in her courtyard for planting them.

"Senior Sister Lingyue, these are the spiritual plants I usually use to refine poison pills. You can take a look, but it's best not to..."

Before he could even utter the word "bang," Ling Yue had already been poisoned.

Looking at Ling Yue lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and with purple lips, Yun Qing took out the recording stone without hesitation and said while recording, "It has nothing to do with me. She poisoned herself. Please be my witnesses."

After carefully placing the recording stone, Yun Qing set up the alchemy furnace and began refining the antidote pill.
