Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 162 The Secret of Two Women

The main entrance.

Luo Qingfeng walked closer and briefly explained the situation in a low voice.

"Senior Bai wants me to go over there?"

After listening, the nightingale hesitated, seemingly a little afraid.

Luo Qingfeng said in a low voice, "Senior Bai should know something. If you have any questions, you can ask her directly."

Nightingale looked at him and said, "You trust her that much?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Sister Nightingale, Senior Bai would never harm us, believe me."

Nightingale stared at him a few more times, then her gaze fell on the girl in the red dress behind him.

Dong Miaomiao immediately waved, her face beaming with a sweet smile: "Sister Nightingale, we meet again. Don't misunderstand, I'm here to call the teacher to the manor for lessons, not to secretly seduce him while you're away."

Luo Qingfeng's lips twitched: "Ignore her, that girl just likes to talk nonsense."

Dong Miaomiao immediately said, "Sir, what nonsense are you spouting? You don't think I'm here to seduce you, do you?"

Luo Qingfeng ignored her and turned around, saying, "Sister Nightingale, let's go."

The nightingale followed behind, looking somewhat hesitant.

Luo Qingfeng comforted him, "It's alright. Some things, if you don't want to say them, you don't have to. Senior Bai probably just wants to tell you something, and he won't ask any more questions. You don't need to be nervous."

The nightingale lowered its head, lost in thought, and remained silent.

The three of them soon arrived at the library.

Grandma Ning stood at the door, expressionless, and said, "Nightingale, go in and head straight to the sixth floor. The rest of you, wait outside."

Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "Grandma, I..."

"You're not allowed in either!"

Grandma Ning interrupted him abruptly, looking particularly fierce.

Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to stop at the bottom of the steps.

Nightingale looked at him with some fear and nervousness, clutching his clothes tightly with one hand, seemingly afraid to go in.

Luo Qingfeng gently comforted him, "Go in, it's alright. Senior Bai is a very kind person and won't make things difficult for you."

Grandma Ning snorted coldly, "Stop dawdling, or this old woman will close the door."

Helpless, the nightingale could only lower her head and walk up the steps.

As she reached the door, she turned back for one last look, but Granny Ning grabbed her arm, pulled her inside, and then closed the door behind her.

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly went up and knocked on the door, saying, "Mother-in-law, why are you closing the door?"

There was no response.

Dong Miaomiao walked up, blinking her big, dark eyes, and asked, "Sir, are there any bad people inside?"

He then added, "That old woman looks like a bad person."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a teacup suddenly fell from above her head. Dong Miaomiao dodged, and the teacup crashed to the ground with a "crack," shattering into pieces.

The two looked up.

From the second-floor window, Granny Ning poked her head out, her face cold, and said, "Little girl, if you talk badly about this old woman behind my back again, it won't just be a teacup that gets thrown down."

Dong Miaomiao immediately denied it: "Grandma, you misunderstood. They didn't say anything bad about you. They were talking about the old lady in the mansion."

Grandma Ning snorted coldly, ignored her, and closed the window.

Dong Miaomiao stuck out her tongue at Luo Qingfeng and whispered, "You have such sharp ears."

Luo Qingfeng said in a low voice, "His nose is even sharper."

By then, night had gradually fallen.

The two walked to a corner to avoid the howling cold wind.

Dong Miaomiao turned to look at him and suddenly smiled, "Sir, I'm about to break through to the eighth level of the Heavenly Opening Realm. Shall we spar a bit when we get back to the manor tonight?"

Luo Qingfeng refused, saying, "No, it's late at night, let's go to sleep."

Dong Miaomiao's eyes widened immediately, and she bit her lip, saying, "Sir, are you...are you sure you want to sleep with me?"

Luo Qingfeng paused, then rolled her eyes at her: "I meant, let's all go back to our own rooms and sleep."

Then, with a stern face, she reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense in the future. A girl like you, driving all day long, that's so improper."

Dong Miaomiao asked in confusion, "What does 'driving' mean?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "You're talking dirty."

Dong Miaomiao said "Oh," blinked, and looked at him, saying, "But sir, it's better for people to make suggestive remarks than for you to actually make them, isn't it?"

Luo Qingfeng raised his hand to hit her.

Dong Miaomiao immediately covered her head: "Sir, you don't have a ruler in your hand, and we're not in class right now, so you can't hit her."

She then pouted and said, "Does telling the truth mean I'll get beaten? Don't you feel ashamed, sir, for instructing your female students like this?"

Luo Qingfeng looked away and ignored her.

This girl is quick-witted and likes to talk nonsense, so it's best to ignore her.

"Is the master silent because he is ashamed? It's good that the master has a sense of shame, and I am very gratified."

"Sir... ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qingfeng grabbed a clump of snow from the side and stuffed it down her neck, making the little girl jump and scream from the cold.

"Ugh! It's so cold..."

Dong Miaomiao jumped around while reaching out to grab it, all the while calling out.

Luo Qingfeng leaned against the corner of the wall, watching with schadenfreude.

After scooping up the snow, Dong Miaomiao flew into a rage. She grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and stormed towards him, shouting, "Sir, watch the game!"

As he spoke, he pounced on her.

Luo Qingfeng turned around and disappeared into the nearby woods.

Dong Miaomiao grabbed snowballs and threw them while yelling, "Don't you dare run away! Take this!"

Luo Qingfeng dodged and also grabbed a snowball and threw it over.

The two chased each other, exchanging blows, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Snowballs suddenly flew everywhere in the grove.

At first, Dong Miaomiao was so angry that she screamed, but then she burst into laughter and chased after him with even more enthusiasm.

And in the attic of the library next door.

From the window on the sixth floor.

Bai Ruofei, dressed in a snow-white dress, was sitting at the table looking outside. From the window, she could see the small grove of trees outside the courtyard wall.

The clear, melodious laughter of a young girl echoed through the woods like silver bells.

Nightingale, dressed in a black dress, stood to the side, her face pale and her expression dazed, looking somewhat absent-minded.

The room remained quiet for a long time.

Bai Ruofei then withdrew her gaze and looked at her again: "If you've made up your mind, you can come find me. I'm leaving now that the new disciple competition is over."

Nightingale snapped out of her reverie and looked at her, asking, "Senior Bai, are you here to watch him compete on stage?"

Bai Ruofei replied calmly, "Yes."

Nightingale paused for a moment, gazing at her cool and beautiful face, and whispered, "Senior...why were you so good to him? Was it...because..."

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "You're thinking it's because I like him, right?"

The nightingale blushed and lowered her head.

Bai Ruofei looked at her with a cold gaze and said, "Do you think that's possible?"

The nightingale glanced at her again, then quickly shook her head.

She had indeed had such doubts before, but after seeing this woman today, so aloof and noble, possessing demon blood, and already determined to leave, it was absolutely impossible.

That guy is so lecherous, comes from a bad family, can't say sweet words, and always has a sour face. How could such a proud and strong woman possibly stoop to like him?

impossible.

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "I helped him because he helped me too. Also, he gave me a treasure that I just happened to need."

Nightingale snorted inwardly. That guy hadn't told her about this at all. Was he feeling guilty?

The room was quiet for a while.

Bai Ruofei's gaze inadvertently drifted to the window again, and she said, "If you stay here, not only will you be unable to cultivate in peace and unleash your talent, but you will also attract a lot of covetousness and attempts to frame you. Even if I don't say it, you should already know this. Also, you might harm them and him."

Nightingale lowered her head, a look of pain in her eyes, and whispered, "That's what I thought too. Before, I was very confused, not knowing what to do or where to go... Now, I know."

Bai Ruofei looked at him: "Have you made up your mind?"

A bitter look appeared on Nightingale's face: "What else can I do besides this?"

Bai Ruofei was silent for a moment, then said, "Based on the information I've gathered over the years, even if you go there, you might be in danger. You'll likely be labeled a... traitor, just like me."

Nightingale looked at her with unwavering eyes: "The more this is the case, the more I must leave. I absolutely cannot implicate them, nor can I implicate him."

Bai Ruofei stared at her for a while longer, then said calmly, "Go back and think it over carefully. You might change your mind. Whatever you decide, make it clear to him. Don't let him say I kidnapped you."

Nightingale bowed her head and said, "Yes, I understand."

Bai Ruofei did not speak again.

The nightingale glanced at her again, then bowed and took her leave.

Just as they reached the top of the stairs, Bai Ruofei suddenly said, "If he really likes you and is truly willing to give everything for you, he can actually face things with you."

Nightingale paused, then shook her head: "No, Crow still needs him."

Bai Ruofei did not speak again.

Nightingale lowered her head and went downstairs, tears gradually welling up in her eyes.

When she reached the first floor, she wiped away the tears in her eyes and forced a smile onto her face.

Grandma Ning opened her eyes and looked at her, letting out a barely audible sigh: "I didn't expect another one to appear."

He then comforted her, saying, "Girl, don't worry too much. I heard they're already exonerating you over there. Once you get there, use the resources there to cultivate diligently. When you're strong enough and settled down, you can come back to fetch them."

The nightingale whispered, "Mmm."

Just as she was about to step out the door, Granny Ning glanced at her tall, curvaceous figure and long legs, and couldn't help but say, "Also, your things are very precious. You may not know it now, but you will after your bloodline is fully awakened. So, be careful not to waste anything and don't let that kid take advantage of you. Look at that kid, ever since he ate your food, he's been full of energy and beaming with joy. He jumped three levels in just over a month, it's simply incredible."

Nightingale's cheeks flushed instantly, and she left the room blushing deeply.

She went down the steps and followed the sound to the nearby grove of trees.

Dong Miaomiao was clinging to someone's arm and acting coquettishly.

"Sir, you've advanced again! You've advanced again! Eighth Star of the Heavenly Opening Realm! Ahhh! Tell me quickly, how did you cultivate? If you don't tell me, I'll keep bothering you, even tonight while I sleep! I'll cling to you tightly!"

Luo Qingfeng was dragging her petite body as they slid across the snow, and said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you? My current cultivation level is entirely due to my hard work and diligent cultivation day and night. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be rewarded."

"Liar! Sir, you clearly work hard every night driving, you haven't been practicing any martial arts! If you don't tell the truth, you're not leaving today!"

As Dong Miaomiao spoke, she actually jumped onto his back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and her legs around his waist, continuing to shake and act spoiled.

Just as Luo Qingfeng was about to beat her up, he suddenly saw a tall figure outside the woods and quickly whispered, "Come down quickly, your master's wife is here."

Upon hearing this, Dong Miaomiao glanced outside the woods and quickly came down, sticking out her little tongue as if she were a little guilty.

The two walked over together, both looking somewhat guilty.

Nightingale looked at the two of them, a smile on her face, and said softly, "Miaomiao, why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight? After dinner, Luo Qingfeng can go back to the manor with you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, both of them looked at her with some surprise.
