I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

Youqing looked at Shen Qingyun and whispered, "Aunt Shen, can you smell it?"

Shen Qingyun nodded: "Young Master, the smell of jealousy is so strong it's making the air sour. How could you not smell it?"

Ji Yunyou, being who she was, naturally knew the reason for Lin Xiao's indifferent expression.

At this moment, Yu Yang revealed a warm smile and took the initiative to greet Lin Xiao, "Hello, Holy Son Yao Guang!"

Lin Xiao asked, "What's so good about me?"

"???"

Yu Yang was taken aback.

He was just being polite; wouldn't a normal person respond with the same polite greeting?

Why did Lin Xiao suddenly blurt out, "What's so good about me?"

How was he supposed to answer that?

"Ahem... Seeing is believing. Yao Guang is indeed a dragon among men, worthy of being called the number one prodigy in the world and a genius of all ages."

Despite his discomfort, Yu Yang still offered some praise.

Since Lin Xiao had asked directly, it would be rather awkward if he didn't say something.

"Hahaha... Brother Yu, look at you, speaking such blunt truths."

Lin Xiao laughed heartily.

“Young master, according to age, Senior Yu is much older than you…”

Youqing reminded her.

"What does age matter? Have you ever heard of friendships that transcend age? Brother Yu and I hit it off immediately."

Lin Xiao said nonchalantly, "It's just a bit of a pity that Brother Yu came at a rather inopportune time. We just finished the whole fish feast, so I felt bad offering you fish bones!"

"..."

Yu Yang's lips twitched.

He could easily tell that Lin Xiao was doing it on purpose.

That guy has such a thick skin; he was inexplicably called a brother.

This is clearly taking advantage of him!

"You have successfully angered Yu Yang and have been regarded as a rival in love by him. The reward is the book 'An Introduction to the Mind'."

"The Introduction to the Mind: A divine book in the field of psychology, capable of healing the heart and soul."

The system notification sounded.

It's quite rare that I was rewarded with a book.

Lin Xiao couldn't recall any psychology book with that title.

It's possible that the system made it up itself.

But no matter what, as long as it works, that's fine.

Whether it's a black book, a white book, or a yellow book, as long as it can heal the heart and soul, it's a good book.

This thing will probably be of great help to Ji Yunyou.

"You're too kind, Holy Son. As the host, I should be the one to welcome you and give you a proper welcome."

Yu Yang said with a warm smile.

On the surface, he showed no sign of being provoked.

However, with the system's notification, Lin Xiao naturally understood that Yu Yang had been provoked.

She also regarded him as a rival in love.

This was somewhat unexpected for Lin Xiao.

It's worth noting that he and Ji Yunyou didn't engage in any intimate actions.

Could it be that whenever a particular man appears in Ji Yunyou's life, Yu Yang will consider her a rival in love?

How narrow-minded must one be?

Or rather, Yu Yang regarded Ji Yunyou as his absolute possession.

"Yu Yang, you've met Lin Xiao. You should go back now and prepare for the clan leader's meeting in ten days!"

At this moment, Ji Yunyou spoke.

This is tantamount to a disguised eviction notice.

“Yun You, I hit it off with Yao Guang at first sight, like old friends despite our age difference. Why don’t I arrange accommodations for Yao Guang?”

Yu Yang suggested.

No man has ever stayed overnight in Ji Yunyou's Peach Blossom Valley.

Even though Lin Xiao was Ji Yunyou's disciple, he didn't want Lin Xiao to stay overnight in Peach Blossom Valley.

By arranging his accommodations, Lin Xiao was essentially under his surveillance, and even Lin Xiao's life and death were in his hands.

"No need, Lin Xiao can stay in Peach Blossom Valley."

Ji Yunyou refused.

"All right!"

Yu Yang nodded and then smiled, "I'd like to have a few drinks with Lin Xiao..."

He was still not quite convinced.

"Um... Brother Yu, I'm really sorry, but there are always a few days each month when I can't drink alcohol."

Lin Xiao politely declined with an apologetic expression.

"..."

Yu Yang's face twitched a few times.

Are you a woman?

And there are always a few days every month...

He had expected Lin Xiao to refuse, but he didn't expect Lin Xiao to use such a bizarre reason.

Yu Yang had no choice but to clasp his hands in a fist and leave.

He valued his image in Ji Yunyou's eyes and always maintained a debonair demeanor.

"Young master, we're going back to our rooms to cultivate!"

Youqing and Shen Qingyun also left.

Before the two women left, their eyes exchanged a particularly ambiguous look, as if something was about to happen between Lin Xiao and Ji Yunyou.

"Second Master, I'm going back to my room to cultivate too."

Lin Xiao left after saying a few words.

Ji Yunyou knew perfectly well that Lin Xiao was still angry.

But when she saw that Lin Xiao was actually heading towards her bedroom, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Is this what they call returning to one's room to cultivate?

Ji Yunyou walked gracefully into the palace.

Lin Xiao said calmly, "Second Master, I need to cultivate, please don't disturb me..."

Ji Yunyou smiled and said, "Tsk! Is my little apprentice jealous?"

Lin Xiao said with a straight face, "Second Master, you're overthinking it."

"is it?"

Ji Yunyou moved closer to Lin Xiao, her large, watery peach blossom eyes fixed on him, as if they could speak.

Ji Yunyou was actually quite happy.

Isn't Lin Xiao's behavior a direct result of his concern for her?

She moved closer to Lin Xiao, intending only to tease him as usual, but unexpectedly, she ended up walking into the lion's den.

"Um..."

Ji Yunyou was also surprised that Lin Xiao would be so bold as to kiss her directly.

Her glistening red lips were sealed shut, and Ji Yunyou was unable to utter a sound.

But after only a slight struggle, she began to respond to Lin Xiao, thinking to herself that it was just a kiss, and it wouldn't cause pregnancy or trigger demonic thoughts.

But soon, Lin Xiao's evil clutches became restless again.

"Lin Xiao, no..."

Ji Yunyou's delicate body stiffened, and she explained, "I know Yu Yang's intentions, but I have already clearly refused. What I discussed with him today was only official business of the Fox Clan."

"Given Ye Manzhu's personality, the clan council meeting is most likely not about discussing the path to heaven."

"She may have other plans."

"Does Second Master know that Yu Yang hasn't given up?" Lin Xiao asked.

"He's not only unwilling to give up, but he's also willing to use any means necessary."

Ji Yunyou suddenly said.

"Ok?"

Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback.

"Second Master has a keen eye for people's hearts. No matter how well Yu Yang hides himself, he will eventually reveal some clues in my eyes..."

“Especially since I deliberately praised you in front of him before.”

Ji Yunyou smiled softly.

Lin Xiao suddenly realized that Ji Yunyou's departure with Yu Yang earlier was actually a deliberate attempt to test Yu Yang's background.
