Dongfang Yue wasn't particularly interested in this topic, because if we went into depth, we'd have to analyze the King of Qin's governance policies, the current social situation in Qin, and the mental state of the valiant Qin people.

This was too complicated for her to think about. She preferred reasoning to uncover the location of the "Ruthless Cult" leader through various clues and subtle evidence, and then eliminate him in one fell swoop.

At least she felt that this was the best way to solve problems than to think about those tedious and complicated issues.

"Who knows?" she said dismissively. "Maybe it's because there are more core members of the Ruthless Cult here. Many evil sects are like that. Only the leaders are capable. The people below have all raised their cultivation through crooked methods, so they don't have much ability. They are essentially incompetent."

"Therefore, to eradicate such cult organizations, all you need to do is take down their leaders to completely eliminate them. This time, it's probably because their leaders have been active in the Qin state that they seem impossible to completely eliminate..."

She wasn't worried at all that they might be no match for the other party. Although she didn't like Su Youling, she had to admit that the other party's methods were profound and complex. Combined with her senior sister's newly broken through cultivation level, they could defeat even Nascent Soul stage enemies.

So, this is not a problem at all!

Yan Shui frowned slightly; her intuition told her that things were not that simple.

However, when she tried to think about this problem, she couldn't come up with any fundamental reason. Therefore, in the end, she had no choice but to give up thinking about it and accept her junior sister's words completely.

“In that case…” she said softly, “it seems we still need to rely on Fellow Daoist Su Youling more often…”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yue felt her hair stand on end!

Su Youling?

Little goblin!

The thought of that woman from the Dao Sect filled Dongfang Yue with hatred. Finally, somehow, that so-called Holy Maiden from the Hehuan Sect left and stopped bothering her senior sister. Dongfang Yue had thought she could finally enjoy some time alone with her senior sister.

But who knows, another Su Youling suddenly appeared out of nowhere. When she first arrived, she actually saw Su Youling holding her senior sister's hand and chatting with her!

How did Dao Zong teach his disciples? Are they all so ill-mannered that they even touched someone's hand!

This infuriated Dongfang Yue, who couldn't bear to see outsiders so intimate with Yan Shuiyi. Therefore, whenever she mentioned that Daoist girl, who was actually just as simple-minded, she felt a burning urge to bite her.

"Sister..."

She said in a coquettish voice, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction, "You don't always have to rely on that woman. Your junior sister can help you deduce and investigate these things just as well. Why do you always go to her for everything..."

Yan Shui was completely unaware of her junior sister's little scheme; rather, it was a blind spot in her thinking that prevented her from ever considering it.

Seeing Dongfang Yue's coquettish manner, she smiled and thought Dongfang Yue had misunderstood her and looked down on her, so she quickly said, "I know, I know, Yue'er, your intelligence is just as important..."

As she said this, the two turned around and continued their investigation of the "Ruthless Cult" to carry out their next task.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

When Yun Chuan woke up on his messy bed, the first thing he saw was Ye Jinglan and Qi Qiao lying naked on the bed.

Memories gradually flooded his mind, causing a smile to appear on his lips as he recalled the absurd night he had spent the previous night.

In short, last night, he, Ye Jinglan, and Qi Qiao tried various positions and sexy lingerie, engaging in numerous different threesomes. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

Both girls had a great time, experiencing climax after climax, and finally fell into a deep sleep in endless satisfaction.

Now, the morning sun shines down, illuminating the two girls' fair and delicate bodies, as well as the messy sheets and the obscene marks left behind from last night.

Even the air still carries some of the scents from last night.

He wasn't in a hurry to get up. Gazing at his beloved wife's sleeping face, he felt an immense sense of peace.

At this moment, Ye Jinglan's long eyelashes trembled twice, and then she opened her big eyes in a daze.

When she came to her senses and saw Yun Chu'an clearly in her field of vision, a smile immediately bloomed on her lips, and she said softly, "Good morning."

Yun Chuan smiled and nodded in response. It was only then that Ye Jinglan noticed that she, him, and Qi Qiao were all completely naked, without even a blanket to cover themselves. They were lying naked on the bed, which was not dignified at all.

Not to mention, the bed was covered in traces of last night's "fierce battle"...

"You really are something," she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "You didn't even bother to cover Qiao'er with a blanket..."

Yun Chu'an smiled, reached out and gently stroked her hair: "I forgot, after all, I'm a bit careless and forgetful."

"But her good sister, who was in the same bed with her, completely forgot about it. This is..."

He clicked his tongue twice, his tone practically laced with flirtation. Ye Jinglan's cheeks flushed slightly as she recalled her wanton behavior the night before. She felt shy, yet refused to show it, forcing herself to muster her courage, and said fiercely, "What's wrong? You're her husband! You can't even take care of your own wife? That's dereliction of duty!"

She tried to suppress Yun Chu'an, and just as Yun Chu'an was about to retort and exchange a few words with her, Qi Qiao's voice came from the side.

She rolled over, opened her eyes blankly, and regained consciousness. When she saw the two of them, a smile appeared on the girl's lips: "Good morning, Chu'an, big sister."

Yun Chuan nodded gently to her, and at this moment, Ye Jinglan quickly got up, not giving Yun Chuan a chance to argue with her anymore: "Get up, get up! Oh dear, it's already high in the sky, the sun is already high in the sky, hurry up and get up, everyone still has important things to do."

As she spoke, she looked at Yun Chu'an, a hint of reluctance in her eyes: "You're going to Qin. Once you leave, I don't know when you'll be back. Stay home a little longer."

Yun Chu'an's gaze softened, and he lost the will to continue arguing with her. He reached out and gently pinched her little nose: "Don't worry, if there isn't a particularly good opportunity, I will come back as soon as possible. At worst, I'll just return the spirit stones to Senior Jiang. It's not a big deal."

Beside him, Qi Qiao's eyes were also filled with reluctance as she looked at him. After thinking carefully for a moment, she said softly, "Chu An, I'm thinking about something."

"Before you leave, why don't we talk things out at home?"

She spoke softly. Upon hearing this, Ye Jinglan's expression shifted, and she turned to look at Qi Qiao, her expression somewhat surprised: "What do you mean? Qiao'er..."

But soon, the woman understood the crux of the matter: "Fourth Sister and the others don't know that you already know about our... relationship with Chu'an?"

Qi Qiao nodded: "Yes, you kept it from me at the time. Chu An was worried that something big was going to happen in the country and that the family would be unstable, so we decided to keep it from you for the time being."

"But now, there's probably no point in continuing to hide it, so why not just lay it all out in the open?"

Hearing Qi Qiao's words, Yun Chu'an's expression shifted, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.

I have a feeling this will be a public execution of him...

He forced himself to nod and said, "Well... alright, let's take this opportunity to clear things up."

"I'll go and summon everyone back, and then..."

Qi Qiao's lips curled up slightly as she spoke, but what she was really thinking about was her third sister's innocent face, as if she truly had nothing to do with it.

Third sister, you're such a good actress.

No problem, I'll expose your act soon enough!

She thought to herself, and then the three of them quickly got up, washed up, and then found Nie Ningshuang, Zhu Yunqing and Liu Mengshen, and came to the palace—or, in today's terms, the prefecture—inside.

The three of them happened to be in Caozhou City, so finding them wasn't difficult. After everyone had gathered in the prefectural capital, Yun Chuan, sitting at the head of the round table, forced a smile and said, "The first thing I called everyone here today is to congratulate eldest sister on successfully breaking through to the late Golden Core stage..."

Upon hearing this, Nie Ningshuang's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands repeatedly, her voice filled with delight: "Really? Congratulations, eldest sister! In that case, uh, Chu'an, the mistress, Senior Rong Jieyu, plus eldest sister, our family will have four cultivators at the late Golden Core stage!"

She was overjoyed. Zhu Yunqing listened and smiled as well: "If we count Chu An as a Nascent Soul stage fighter, and add reliable external aids such as the princess, Sima Lixin and Lang Gu, our family alone can support the core fighting force of a small country."

Nie Ningshuang nodded repeatedly, her expression filled with excitement, completely oblivious to the subtle embarrassment on Yun Chuan and Ye Jinglan's faces: "And the second one? What's the second piece of good news? Oh, stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me!"

Yun Chu'an lowered his head, finding it difficult to say it himself: "This second matter... let Qiao'er say it... Qiao'er?"

He called out softly, and Qi Qiao nodded slightly beside him. Then he turned his head and glanced at all the sisters present.

"I already know about you and my husband," she said softly.

Chapter 727 Third Sister, Stop Pretending!

A chilling silence fell over the room upon hearing this. Only Nie Ningshuang, completely bewildered, stared wide-eyed at her with utter confusion: "What is it?"

She genuinely didn't know what had happened, though Qi Qiao didn't think so. Looking into her third sister's innocent pink-blue eyes, the zombie girl couldn't help but sigh.

Third sister, what a charlatan! She's already laid her cards on the table, yet she still insists on putting on an act.

Fortunately, the others...

She turned her gaze to Zhu Yunqing and Liu Mengshen, and saw that her fourth sister's face, painted with tear-streaked makeup, was instantly filled with guilt, while Liu Mengshen's eyes were also somewhat evasive, not daring to look her in the eye.

Clearly, both of them understood what Qi Qiao meant by those words. Guilt gripped Zhu Yunqing's heart, causing her to lower her head and refuse to say anything more.

Yun Chu'an also lowered her head, extremely embarrassed. But seeing her fourth sister's distressed appearance, she knew that this woman would definitely take all the blame upon herself.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Ultimately, this whole thing is my fault..."

Beside her, Nie Ningshuang blinked. In that instant, even though she was completely unaware of the inside story, she realized that something was wrong: "What's going on? What happened?"

Zhu Yunqing covered her face; her thin skin made it impossible for her to continue speaking.

At this moment, it was Ye Jinglan, who had been mentally prepared all along, who gritted her teeth and completely revealed this shameful truth: "That's right, Qiao'er already knows that I, Yun Qing, Cai Yan, Meng Shen, and the rest of us have actually... in private..."

"He and Chu'an...became Daoist partners..."

Her voice trembled as she tried to use elegant words to describe the matter, trying her best not to agitate Zhu Yunqing's fragile nerves.

Everyone understood the meaning of her words, and Nie Ningshuang's eyes widened in disbelief: "What?!"

"Eldest sister, fourth sister, sixth sister, you, you all..."

Her gaze swept around, the remaining words stuck in her throat, leaving her speechless for a moment. She never imagined that her older sisters had all slept with Yun Chuan!

How could this happen!

She looked at Zhu Yunqing in disbelief, her eyes seeming to question. The latter closed her eyes, nodded slightly in pain, clearly admitting that she had indeed done something so immoral as to steal her sister's man!

"Qiao'er..." Her lips moved slightly, her face deathly pale, but she still managed to utter those words, "I'm sorry..."

Liu Meng shrank back, seemingly a little timid, but she did not deny it, quietly awaiting her own verdict.

Qi Qiao looked at Zhu Yunqing's guilty expression and listened to her apologetic words, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That's more like it! That's the proper reaction after a secret affair is exposed, not like Third Sister, who's still pretending and being stubborn!

Seeing the reaction she wanted, Qi Qiao was satisfied. She hadn't originally planned to make things too difficult for them, after all, her sisters usually took such good care of her.

She immediately whispered, "It's okay, sister, I don't really care that much."

“In the future, if Chu’an also wants to establish a state, he will have concubines in his harem, won’t he? And these people should be of one mind with us. It’s hard to guess what outsiders are thinking. If you sisters are willing, it would be perfect for you to be with Chu’an.”

She said this with a very open mind: "I was worried that if outsiders really came into our house in the future, they would not get along with my sisters. Now it's all good. Since my sisters are willing, we can be considered even closer relatives."

She said this, indicating that she had fully accepted the matter.

However, this did not lessen Zhu Yunqing's guilt much. This spider demon was essentially a well-bred young lady, knowledgeable and reasonable, but too thin-skinned, and she still found it difficult to open up her heart for a while.

She bit her lower lip lightly, determined to give Qi Qiao more care and compensation in the future.

Liu Meng shrank back, nodded slightly, and tried to minimize her presence, acting as a nobody and leaving all the arrangements to her older sisters.

Nie Ningshuang was so shocked by this scene that she involuntarily opened her mouth wide. Her face was full of shock, her eyes scanning the sisters around her, and then she couldn't help but swallow.

“So…” she said softly, trembling, “Sister, you, you really, truly, all…”

"Are they all having an affair with Chu'an?"

Finally, she bluntly said it.

However, because she only called her "sister," only Ye Jinglan forced herself to nod and say, "Yes..."

Nie Ningshuang felt like her brain had crashed, and she simply couldn't think straight.

She was like someone who had always lived in a false world, and one day a corner of the truth was suddenly lifted, and the familiar world shattered. She needed a little time to adapt to this new world and new relationships.

After forgiving her two older sisters who had actually done it, Qi Qiao turned her head and fixed her gaze on Nie Ning Shuang.

Look how honest my eldest, fourth, and sixth sisters are; they obediently apologized and admitted it as soon as I caught them. You, Yonglin Yongyong, are you even thinking of sleeping with your Lin Zaizai...?

Third sister is the most dishonest; she's still pretending. Humph, I'll expose her!

She thought angrily, staring at Nie Ningshuang, and asked, word by word, "Then, Third Sister, don't you still owe me an apology?"

Nie Ningshuang, whose brain had been blank, regained her senses slightly, but still didn't understand what she meant: "Huh? What?"

Qi Qiao said, "Actually, you've done this kind of thing too, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Ningshuang's pupils contracted, and the hairs on her body stood on end: "Huh? No, what did you say? I didn't do it!"

Qi Qiao was taken aback. Judging from her expression, her third sister didn't seem to be just being stubborn. Nie Ning Shuang screamed, her face filled with anxiety: "I really didn't do it! I didn't even know this had happened. I thought Yan Shui Yi and Sheng Ling Long were the whole story!"

"No, Seventh Sister, please don't misunderstand! Who's framing me? Why would you suspect me, Qiao'er?"

She was incredibly anxious; her pink hair was practically standing on end. As she spoke, she turned to look at Ye Jinglan and Zhu Yunqing, saying, "Eldest sister, fourth sister, please speak up for me! I'm truly innocent!"

Ye Jinglan was also taken aback, and then said, "I also remember that Third Sister did not... Qiao'er, what's going on?"

Zhu Yunqing also raised her head, the embarrassment on her face disappeared, and then she murmured, "Of the original six sisters in our family, only the third sister and Chu An... did not have so many complicated entanglements."

She used another word to refer to it, then frowned and looked at Qi Qiao: "Qiao'er, is there some misunderstanding in this?"

Qi Qiao was taken aback. After recalling for a moment, she realized that in the images given to her by the Holy Maiden of Joyful Union, there was indeed only her third sister, and no record of her practicing dual cultivation with Chu An.

But back then, the Holy Maiden of Joyful Union stated unequivocally that Third Sister and Chu'an did indeed have an affair...

This……

She felt uncertain for a moment, unsure if she had been deceived, but looking at her third sister's anxious face, she suddenly felt that her family was more trustworthy.
