Chapter 198 My Sister's Worries

An Ran wasn't just talking; she was truly capable of doing something like Ming Yan cultivating with someone else while she was guarding the door for him.

She was indeed deeply influenced by Wang Qingchu...

“My relationship with Gu Hanshuang is somewhat complicated,” Mingyan said. Since An Ran has the backing of his sister and the Empress, Mingyan naturally trusts An Ran. He briefly explained the matter between Gu Hanshuang and Yu Mudan and shared his thoughts.

“I see… Yes, indeed, Master’s idea is correct.” An Ran nodded seriously after hearing this. “I will do my best to help Master. If the two of them are so competitive, as long as one of them can be won over, the other will definitely panic, and may even come to us on his own.”

Mingyan smiled and said, "It won't be that easy... Gu Hanshuang is not someone who is easy to win over, and Yu Mudan is even more complicated and meticulous... We can only ignite their competitive spirit and then take it one step at a time."

After careful consideration, An Ran said, "No woman can escape the master's grasp."

"...Why do I feel like I don't have a very good image in your heart?" Ming Yan looked at An Ran with some surprise upon hearing this. He always felt that in An Ran's mind, he was some kind of... womanizer, something like that. What do you mean by saying no woman can escape his grasp...? Look at what you're saying...

Surely not? At least before, I was a true gentleman. Now I might have a tiny bit of an open-minded attitude, but it's really just a tiny bit...

“My master is a great and heroic figure in my heart. I just think that my master’s charm is so outstanding that they can’t resist her,” An Ran said with a smile.

Mingyan shook his head. "The reason you find me attractive is because I saved you. When you look at me, you always think about how I did you a favor. I don't think I have any charm that could attract Gu Hanshuang and Yu Mudan. If it were that simple, the conflict between Gu Hanshuang and Yu Mudan wouldn't have dragged on until now. It should have been resolved a year or two ago. Forget it, let's go find my sister."

An Ran smiled without saying a word, and nodded slightly after hearing this.

When Mingyan brought Anran to Wang Qingchu, Anran gave a special bow, saying, "Greetings... Sister..."

Wang Qingchu was resting in Mingyan's room. She had nothing to do, and when the two came to find her, a smile naturally bloomed on her pretty face.

"Sister." Mingyan walked to Wang Qingchu's side, and Wang Qingchu subconsciously reached out and took Mingyan's hand. Her movements were very natural. Then she waved to An Ran, "Come closer, An Ran."

An Ran walked up to Wang Qingchu, who then took her hand. Afterward, Wang Qingchu looked at Ming Yan and smiled, "Yan'er, are you satisfied with An Ran?"

"Satisfied...of course I'm satisfied..." Mingyan nodded. Did his sister mean she was admitting that she had pushed An Ran to get closer to him behind the scenes?

What kind of fairy sister is this? She's giving away opportunities, cultivation levels, and even a wife—she's practically offering herself to everyone!

An Ran stared at Ming Yan, secretly smiling.

“I noticed An Ran a long time ago,” Wang Qingchu said with a smile. “I’ve always thought An Ran was a promising talent. Moreover, she doesn’t compete for anything, which is undoubtedly the best thing in my eyes. If you can’t accept her, there’s nothing I can do. But my Yan’er is willing to accept her, which is the best thing in my opinion.”

"I will give everything for my master." An Ran's gaze remained fixed on Ming Yan, except for a brief glance at Wang Qingchu when she entered the room, after which it returned to Ming Yan and never left her eyes for a moment.

"An Ran, please leave for a moment," Wang Qingchu suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, An Ran did not leave immediately, but instead looked at Ming Yan. Wang Qingchu noticed this and simply smiled slightly. She was not averse to this; this was the result she wanted. If An Ran believed that her words were more effective than Ming Yan's, then it would contradict her initial idea.

Mingyan knew his sister probably wanted to say something to him, so he nodded to Anran. Anran then turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.

After An Ran left, Wang Qingchu smiled and said, "I did get involved in An Ran's affairs, Yan'er. Do you resent what your sister did?"

“I don’t mind,” Mingyan shook his head. “Why did you ask that, sister?”

“Because… I didn’t really want to interfere too much with you and let you make your own decisions…” Wang Qingchu gently stroked Mingyan’s face, her doting affection quite obvious. “But I still intervened. I was a little uneasy, worried that you would blame me if you found out.”

"How could I blame my sister..." Mingyan raised his hand and placed it on the back of Wang Qingchu's delicate hand, gently holding it before saying, "Sister, you worry too much. Anran is indeed a good girl..."

"...Perhaps you won't always believe your sister..." Wang Qingchu looked at Mingyan, her smile gradually fading. She sighed softly, "If Mother and I were on opposite sides, would you believe Mother or your sister?"

"...This situation doesn't exist, does it? Why would Mother be on the opposite side of Sister?" Mingyan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked curiously.

"Didn't Mother never trust me anyway?" Wang Qingchu smiled. "This situation isn't entirely impossible. Let's assume this situation occurred; what would you choose?"

"....I..."

Wang Qingchu suddenly extended her jade-like finger and placed it on Ming Yan's lips, "Shh... You don't need to answer this question, because it will put you in a difficult position."

Mingyan looked at Wang Qingchu, wondering what his sister meant.

Wang Qingchu smiled and said, "I don't want to know your answer, but I want you to always trust me and always know that my heart is with you. So, I don't want to make a single mistake. An Ran's matter was a bit risky, so you know why I'm so worried, right?"

“Sister.” Mingyan looked at Wang Qingchu seriously. “If Mother doesn’t trust you, that’s Mother’s business. I respect Mother, but I will never distrust you, sister. Even if what you say is true, and Mother and you are on opposite sides, I will not side with Mother.”

Mingyan spoke with unwavering conviction and without the slightest hesitation, "My sister is the person I trust most, even more so than my mother."

Wang Qingchu stared blankly at Mingyan for a long while, her eyes even becoming a little moist. She slowly hugged Mingyan, "I believe... you didn't just say it to make me happy, but even if you did, it doesn't matter... my Yan'er... what do you want me to say or do to repay your trust in me?"

Chapter 199 Fairy Sister

“My sister has already done more than enough for me.” Mingyan scratched his head. “My sister gave me opportunities, cultivation, family, and even a cultivation partner. It seems like my sister has given me everything she could…”

"It's not enough..." Wang Qingchu released Ming Yan, her eyes slightly moist. "It's not enough..."

Therefore, Mingyan felt that Anran was influenced by her older sister, because the two were so similar in this respect—that selfless dedication...

"What would be enough for you, sister?" Mingyan asked, holding Wang Qingchu's hand.

"...until Yan'er no longer needs me..." Wang Qingchu looked at Ming Yan, and a smile finally reappeared on her pretty face.

Mingyan smiled and said, "That's definitely not enough, because I will always need my sister."

Wang Qingchu smiled and said, "Really?"

"Does my sister think I would lie to you?" Mingyan raised an eyebrow.

"Yan'er wouldn't lie to me, I trust Yan'er." Wang Qingchu smiled, then changed the subject, "What do you think of Gu Hanshuang and Yu Mudan?"

Talking about these two people gave Mingyan a bit of a headache. He told Wang Qingchu his thoughts, and after a moment's thought, Wang Qingchu said, "Gu Hanshuang is fine, but you need to keep an eye on Yu Mudan. However, I believe you know very well that she's quite calculating..."

"Hmm... I do have some admiration for Gu Hanshuang, but I'm really not that interested in Yu Mudan," Mingyan said. "However, if I could win over Gu Hanshuang, Yu Mudan would definitely be anxious and might even come knocking on my door..."

Yu Mudan is not one to suffer losses. If Gu Hanshuang really becomes his woman, with Ming Yan's support, Ming Yan's public statement that he will not help anyone will no longer be credible to Yu Mudan. After all, Gu Hanshuang has become his wife, while Yu Mudan is an outsider. It would be only natural for him to help Gu Hanshuang deal with Yu Mudan.

Therefore, Yu Mudan would certainly not sit idly by, and once Yu Mudan also comes to his door... Ming Yan has plenty of ways to control Yu Mudan.

Wang Qingchu smiled and said, "It's good that you're confident..."

She had always hoped that Mingyan could become... how should I put it, a little more evil?

This kind of evil doesn't mean turning Mingyan into a bad person... but rather... making him think more flexibly and boldly on certain issues... allowing him to think about things he wouldn't normally dare to do.

And now, it seems that Mingyan has already embarked on that path...

Wang Qingchu is a very patient person; sooner or later, things will get as she wishes...

————————————————————————————

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed, and by then, Yu Mudan had arrived at the Huang family.

To be honest, Yu Mudan and the Huang family are somewhat related. Strictly speaking, the Huang family is related to the Shengyuan Dynasty, since Huang Junru once appeared in the Shengyuan Dynasty and helped it.

So when Yu Mudan arrived, Huang Feiyan, who had some free time at the time, personally went out to greet her.

Yu Mudan asked Huang Feiyan to arrange for her to live near Gu Hanshuang, and Huang Feiyan did not refuse.

After settling Yu Mudan in, Huang Feiyan immediately found Mingyan and told him about Yu Mudan's arrival.

She knew that Mingyan seemed to have some complicated relationship with Yu Mudan and Gu Hanshuang, so she naturally couldn't keep this from Mingyan.

Upon hearing this, Mingyan stopped lingering in his sister's arms and headed over immediately, otherwise he felt the two might have started fighting.

Huang Feiyan followed Mingyan and said, "Yu Mudan's cultivation has broken through again, and I heard that Gu Hanshuang has also reached Taiyi... Mingyan, I also want to... break through..."

Once he said that, his purpose was clear. Ming Yan smiled and looked at Huang Feiyan, "Then I'll take care of Yu Mudan and Gu Hanshuang's matter, and then I'll cultivate with you..."

Huang Feiyan, who had initially spoken up, blushed slightly. Seeing Ming Yan's somewhat malicious smile, she became even more shy. But remembering her earlier decision, she mustered her courage and whispered in Ming Yan's ear, "If you can persuade the others, I wouldn't mind... everyone cultivating together, okay?"

Ming Yan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. He looked at Huang Feiyan and blinked.

Although Mingyan had similar thoughts before, it was not easy to persuade Feiyan. Although Feiyan accepted the existence of others, she would most likely not accept being asked to cultivate with them. Therefore, Mingyan had never mentioned this to Huang Feiyan. However, he did not expect that Huang Feiyan would bring it up on her own today.

“Feiyan… if you’re thinking of me, you don’t need to. I don’t want you to suffer.” Mingyan thought for a moment. Although it was very tempting, he still didn’t want Huang Feiyan to make him feel bad, so he shook his head.

"I've thought about it seriously... Although it feels a little strange, it's not like I'm compromising myself..." Huang Feiyan pursed her lips. "Everyone else can accept it, so why can't I? Compared to them, I'm nothing special..."

"Non-smoking..."

"Alright... Mingyan, you don't need to say anymore. I've made up my mind. Please don't make me waver anymore, okay?" Huang Feiyan covered Mingyan's mouth with her hand, not wanting him to continue. Her eyes were firm, not like a decision made on the spur of the moment.

Ming Yan looked into Huang Feiyan's eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded. "If you insist on doing this, I... don't want to say anything more..."

"Alright, alright, let's deal with Yu Mudan and Gu Hanshuang's matter first." Seeing that Ming Yan finally stopped talking, Huang Feiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about what would happen next, her pretty face flushed. "I won't go with you. I'll...go...make some preparations..."

Mingyan nodded. "Alright then..."

"I'm waiting for you with... Sister Ni Chang and Second Aunt... so don't take too long." Huang Feiyan said, blushing, then turned and ran off. Ming Yan was somewhat amused and exasperated, but he had to admit, he was indeed a little itchy to get closer...

Has Fei Yan finally come to her senses? When... will Aunt Ning... and Master... also come to their senses?

Ming Yan let out a long sigh, then shook his head and walked towards Yu Mudan and Gu Hanshuang's residence.

Chapter 200 Two Clashing Forces

As soon as Mingyan reached the door, he saw Gu Hanshuang and Yu Mudan facing off.

Gu Hanshuang did not draw her sword. She carried two swords on her back. One was her own sword, and the other was an imperial weapon. If she were to draw the imperial weapon, she could probably kill Yu Mudan with one sword. However, given Gu Hanshuang's personality, she would absolutely disdain doing such a thing.

Moreover, how could Yu Mudan, who dared to get so close to Gu Hanshuang, not have some trump card up her sleeve?

Yu Mudan must have some imperial lineage; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to keep chasing after Gu Han Shuang, who is an imperial prince, without missing a single step.

Yu Mudan stood with her hands behind her back, smiling at Gu Hanshuang. Gu Hanshuang looked at Yu Mudan calmly. The two did not speak, as if they were waiting for something. Soon after Ming Yan arrived, the two noticed him at almost the same time. Yu Mudan smiled and said, "Young Master Ming, we meet again."

Gu Hanshuang remained silent.

Mingyan stepped forward and said, "It seems that Fairy Yu knows I am in the Huang family?"

“I heard that Gu Hanshuang has come to the Huang family. I think that Young Master Ming must also be at the Huang family.” Yu Mudan took a few steps toward Ming Yan and walked to his side. She smiled and said, “The purpose of my trip is to find Young Master Ming.”

Looking for me? It could be considered looking for me, but wasn't the purpose of this trip to prevent him from getting too close to Gu Hanshuang? Ming Yan knew perfectly well, but his smile remained unchanged.

"Since you're a guest, please stay here, Fairy Jade." Ming Yan had barely finished speaking when Gu Han Shuang transmitted her voice to him, "This Jade Peony is clearly afraid I'll get too close to you... Heh..."

Although telepathy cannot effectively convey emotions, it is not difficult to discern from the context that Gu Hanshuang was feeling quite disdainful at that moment.

"Young Master Ming seems to hold an extraordinary position in the Huang family as well?" Yu Mudan said with her hands behind her back, but unlike her attitude towards Gu Hanshuang, her expression was much gentler now, making people feel much more comfortable.

“He is the son-in-law of the Huang family, and also a member of the Huang family. His thoughts can represent the thoughts of the Huang family.” At this moment, an unexpected voice rang out. Ming Yan turned around and found that Huang Ni Chang had appeared behind him without his noticing. Her expression was still indifferent, but when Ming Yan saw Huang Ni Chang, he was surprised and smiled. “Ni Chang.”

Huang Nishang glanced at Ming Yan, her expression softening considerably, and nodded to him.
