One of my fairy-like friends

"He saved my life." Huang Feiyan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled subtly. "We're still friends, aren't we?"

Ning Feixuan suddenly brought up her relationship with Ming Yan, which puzzled her. Did Feixuan care about such things?

Thinking of what her second aunt had said to her, Huang Feiyan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Feixuan... was starting to have some kind of affection for Mingyan?

No way?

"Do you have feelings for Mingyan?" Ning Feixuan sighed softly. "I mean romantic feelings."

"Why do you ask that?" Huang Feiyan was silent for a moment after hearing this, but did not deny it before asking.

"I sense that your attitude towards Mingyan is rather ambiguous, so I have this feeling. Do you really have romantic feelings for him?"

Huang Feiyan pondered whether or not to tell Ning Feixuan something.

Perhaps if she told her, it would be even more impossible for Mingyan and Ning Feixuan to be together, but wouldn't that be too despicable? She knew that Mingyan liked her, and if she told Ning Feixuan, Ning Feixuan would definitely be even less likely to give Mingyan a chance because of her own feelings for him... Huang Feiyan was somewhat displeased with this approach.

Moreover, if it were revealed, the matter of the Phoenix Blood Pool of the Phoenix Clan... would probably be difficult to conceal.

Although the family wanted her to marry Mingyan, as long as the matter of the Phoenix Blood Pool was resolved before that, the rumors about the Phoenix Blood Pool would naturally disappear and would not continue to circulate.

The matter of the Phoenix Blood Pool is of great importance and cannot be spoken of carelessly. Huang Feiyan thought for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "You know the rules of our Huang family: we do not marry out or take in sons-in-law. Why do you ask this?"

"I just feel that you and Mingyan are getting too close." Ning Feixuan seemed relieved upon seeing this, and sighed softly, "I'm not saying Mingyan is bad, he's fine as a friend, but as a Daoist partner or husband..."

Huang Feiyan blinked. "What's wrong?"

“It’s not good to gossip behind people’s backs.” Ning Feixuan shook her head. “But… I still think Mingyan is more suitable as a friend than as a Daoist partner or husband. If you don’t have romantic feelings for him, that’s fine. His behavior today also proves that you can confide in him as a friend.”

When Ning Feixuan saw Ming Yan act without hesitation, she knew that he must be a very good friend to her, someone she could confide in. But it was precisely because of this that people easily developed feelings for him. He was like that to them, and he must be like that to other women as well. He was too easy for other women to fall for. If she were to become his Daoist partner, she would probably have trouble dealing with all those swarms of admirers.

"...I have no romantic feelings for Mingyan, Feixuan."

"That's good." Ning Feixuan smiled slightly. "You can entrust your life to him, but you can't entrust your feelings to him. He... well, never mind. Since you don't have any romantic feelings for him, it's a bit redundant for me to say all this."

Huang Feiyan didn't expect Ning Feixuan to have such a strong prejudice against Mingyan... Judging from this, even if Feixuan completes her revenge, she probably won't have any goodwill towards Mingyan.

In other words, there is only an extremely small possibility between Ming Yan and Ning Feixuan, so small that it is almost impossible to see.

With that thought, Huang Feiyan felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face. "I understand."

A hint of guilt appeared on Ning Feixuan's face. "I feel a little sorry for Ming Yan for speaking ill of him behind his back."

If you don't think that way, I'm a little worried that you and him might actually end up together... Huang Feiyan understood, but now she was telling Feixuan that she had no romantic feelings for Mingyan. What would Feixuan's expression be if she found out and then got together with Mingyan?

That's fine too. Ning Feixuan won't like Mingyan, so I won't hurt Feixuan's feelings. As for Mingyan, since Feixuan doesn't like him, she might be a little sad when she comes to her senses from this endless chase. At least, I can still be there for her...

Huang Feiyan thought for a moment, shook her head, and banished the jumbled thoughts from her mind. Then she asked, "When do you plan to make a move against Ning Zetian?"

“We can’t be impatient now.” Ning Feixuan’s expression turned serious upon hearing this. “Ning Zetian has always been mysterious. His true strength… with my current strength, it’s far from enough to be considered a sure thing. I’ve waited so many years. If I rashly seek revenge now and fail, then everything will be for nothing.”

She will definitely complete her revenge and bring Ning Zetian's head to her parents' graves to appease their spirits in heaven. However, if she fails to avenge herself, her own life will be in danger. If she fails to avenge herself and instead dies, how can she face her parents in heaven?

"Perhaps, I can only say with absolute certainty after he enters the Saint realm. His cultivation progress is not slow. I'm afraid I need more opportunities." Ning Feixuan sighed softly.

“You know, if you ask, Mingyan will definitely help you,” Huang Feiyan said.

“Of course I know, but this is my revenge. How can I let him be in danger because of his feelings for me?” Ning Feixuan shook her head. “Besides, I have already rejected him. Mingyan is an upright person. Although he will not have any negative views of me because of this, I cannot use his goodwill towards me to help me take revenge.”

Hearing Ning Feixuan's high praise for Ming Yan, Huang Feiyan felt a little strange, as Ning Feixuan actually had a very good impression of Ming Yan...

Chapter 150 Four-Corner Relationship

Huang Feiyan could sense that Ning Feixuan's view of Ming Yan was quite complicated.

On the one hand, she approves of Mingyan's character, but on the other hand, she needs to carefully keep her distance from him. Perhaps she feels that Mingyan is too attractive to women, so she keeps her distance from him? Or perhaps she feels that getting too close might cause her to fall in love with Mingyan?

In short, she needs to keep her distance.

On the other hand, because of her relationship with her master and friends, she couldn't really become estranged from Mingyan. Moreover, although Mingyan had feelings for her, he never made any rash moves or caused her any trouble. Given her personality, she naturally couldn't just be indifferent to Mingyan.

Huang Feiyan naturally understood Ning Feixuan's personality, and she couldn't help but admire Mingyan's excellent work. Even though he confessed to Feixuan, he managed to prevent her from facing him with a cold face.

Huang Feiyan was also somewhat relieved that Feixuan didn't have those kinds of feelings for him.

At least, it won't lead to a real love triangle, which would inevitably break one of the parties' hearts sooner or later.

However, Fei Xuan has a good impression of Ming Yan, and it's not entirely impossible for her to fall in love with him. I need to speed things up. In any case, I need to establish a relationship with Ming Yan before Fei Xuan falls in love with him. This is her personal love affair, and it also concerns the Huang family.

After Ning Feixuan left, Huang Feiyan still came to find Mingyan.

She walked to the door and knocked. "Mingyan, are you there?"

Not hearing a reply from inside, Huang Feiyan hesitated for a moment, and then found that the door suddenly opened, revealing Yue Qingying.

A faint blush graced her pretty face. Upon seeing Huang Feiyan, she involuntarily shifted her gaze slightly. "You and your junior brother can talk. I'll... go now."

With that, Yue Qingying hurriedly left.

Huang Feiyan turned her head to look at Yue Qingying's back, a slight look of confusion on her face. Why was Qingying's face so rosy? What had she done in Mingyan's room just now?

She suddenly remembered what Ning Feixuan had said... Could it be that what Ning Feixuan said was true, and Qingying also liked Mingyan? Liked her junior brother?

Thinking of this, Huang Feiyan pursed her lips. If that were truly the case, Qingying and Mingyan were usually so close, taking advantage of their proximity...

Perhaps I should ask... Qingying what she thinks?

"Feiyan?" Mingyan looked up, glanced at Huang Feiyan, and greeted her with a smile.

Huang Feiyan snapped out of her daze and turned around, about to speak, but suddenly stopped. She noticed a faint red mark on Mingyan's face. She paused, then approached and asked, "What happened to your face, Mingyan?"

She naturally knew how strong Mingyan's physical body was, so why would he have red marks on his face?

Upon hearing this, Mingyan touched his face and blinked. "What's wrong with my face?"

Huang Feiyan approached, leaned close to Ming Yan and examined him closely, then reached out and touched the red mark.

Slightly damp... She lowered her hand and looked at her fingertips, but didn't see any color. It wasn't rouge or anything like that, so it was the color from Ming Yan's face.

"What happened? There's a light red spot on your face," Huang Feiyan asked.

Huang Feiyan's slightly intimate actions surprised Mingyan. Previously, only his older sister Wang Qingchu and senior sister Yue Qingying had acted this way. He didn't expect Huang Feiyan to be so affectionate with him... Are all girls like this? Mingyan hesitated. It shouldn't be like this. Isn't it said that men and women should not touch each other?

Perhaps Fei Yan felt that she was too close to him to care about these things?

However, upon hearing Huang Feiyan's words, Mingyan came to his senses.

Mingyan recalled that during his previous "practice" with his senior sister, she seemed to kiss his cheek at the end, and he then felt a faint sucking sensation. Could it be that his senior sister did it?

However, it seems inappropriate to say this to others. After all, the relationship between her and her senior sister is a bit too intimate to say out loud. The two of them naturally don't care, but if others find out, they might have some negative opinions about her.

Moreover, Mingyan subconsciously felt that it was better not to tell Huang Feiyan about this. Although he didn't know why he had this thought, he still followed his heart.

"I don't know either." Mingyan shook his head, not revealing the truth.

"..." Huang Feiyan asked, "Doesn't it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. It'll heal soon," Mingyan said with a smile. "What did you want to see me about, Feiyan?"

"I just came to chat with you." Seeing that Ming Yan was alright, Huang Feiyan was relieved and smiled, "You and Qingying have such a good relationship, it's enviable."

"Don't Fei Yan and her senior sister have a good relationship?"

"I wasn't referring to your relationship with me or Qingying," Huang Feiyan said coquettishly. "Didn't you understand what I meant?"

Mingyan thought for a moment, "Are you referring to the relationship between my senior sister and me?"

Huang Feiyan smiled, neither admitting nor denying.

Seeing this, Mingyan took it as a tacit agreement and said, "I don't think our relationship is that bad, is it?"

It shouldn't be too bad; the two of them are quite relaxed when they're together.

After he finished speaking, Ming Yan didn't hear Huang Feiyan say anything. He looked at Huang Feiyan and found her staring at his face, slightly lost in thought.

"what happened?"

"Hmm...it's nothing." Huang Feiyan smiled and started chatting with Ming Yan.

————————————————————————

After leaving Mingyan's room, Huang Feiyan frowned. The red marks on Mingyan's face... were truly suspicious. Earlier, when Yue Qingying came out of Mingyan's room, her face was also flushed...

Has the relationship between Mingyan and Yue Qingying progressed to a certain point?

"Impossible, right?" Huang Feiyan couldn't understand it. Yue Qingying also knew that Mingyan liked Ning Feixuan, and Mingyan was also devoted to Feixuan. How could there be such a relationship between the two of them?

Thinking of this, Huang Feiyan found Yue Qingying.

"Qingying."

"Feiyan..." A hint of unease flashed across Yue Qingying's pretty face, but she quickly covered it up and smiled, "Have you finished chatting with your junior brother?"

"Hmm..." Huang Feiyan nodded. "Has the Moon Shadow Saint Lord... mentioned... the marriage alliance to you?"

"Marriage alliance... do you mean the matter between you and Mingyan?"

"It seems you know?" Huang Feiyan smiled slightly upon hearing this, and said playfully, "I might become your junior brother or sister-in-law."

Yue Qingying chuckled, "That would be a double blessing... but why are you asking about this?"

"But...you know Mingyan still likes Feixuan. I've already asked Feixuan what she thinks, and she has no romantic feelings for Mingyan..."

"You want me to help you?" Yue Qingying narrowed her eyes, a half-smile on her face.

Huang Feiyan blushed, but did not say anything.

Yue Qingying was silent for a while before asking, "Do you truly like Mingyan, or is it simply because of family ties?"

Yue Qingying had never understood why the Huang family would arrange a marriage between Huang Feiyan and Ming Yan. The Huang family shouldn't have arranged for outsiders to marry into the family, which puzzled her greatly.

"I have feelings for Mingyan... perhaps it could be described as a mild liking. There are such thoughts within the family, and I do not object to them."

"...I see. I'll help you." Yue Qingying lowered her eyelids, her expression complex, but she didn't show it to Huang Feiyan.

After leaving Yue Qingying, Huang Feiyan frowned. She had tested her, but Qingying hadn't said anything and was even willing to help her... It seemed that she had been overthinking things.

Thinking of this, Huang Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief. The only thing she needed to be wary of was Fei Xuan, who might change her mind. Qingying was still someone she could trust.

Chapter 151 The Fox Demon Queen

On the day of the Crown Prince's wedding, the capital city of Zhongjing was extremely lively. Bright red lanterns were hung on both sides of the streets and on the eaves of the houses, and the entire city of Zhongjing was immersed in celebration.

It is said that the Crown Princess is the daughter of a high-ranking official in the court, and is so beautiful that even peaches and apricots would be ashamed. The Crown Prince himself is also very handsome. The two can be said to be a perfect match.
