Chapter 447: Ch 447- Hard to Imagine
"Oh? you know me?"
Because Yino specifically used "so it’s," Ye Huai raised his eyebrows slightly. His originally polite face showed some genuine surprise.
"Naturally. Before coming to Liuli Sect, my senior sister mentioned you more than once."
Yino was good at flattery.
But in fact, Yuyan had probably forgotten there was someone like Ye Huai at Liuli Sect. When Yino and Yuyan were resting together after their passionate battles at night, he had asked Yuyan about Liuli Sect’s past plot. After thinking for a long time, Yuyan told Yino that Liuli Sect had a disgusting transvestite demon. Just talking to him made her feel sick. She really regretted not killing him with her sword back then...
That night, besides warning Yino to be careful of that demon, Yuyan said nothing more.
As for Ye Huai...
He was probably too mediocre, not strong, not weak, moderate personality, utterly generic image, so he left no impression in Yuyan’s heart at all.
"Oh! Is that so?"
"Haha, Brother Yino, do you remember how Miss Yuyan mentioned me?"
Obviously, Ye Huai didn’t notice Yino’s slightly strained expression. His curiosity was already aroused as he continued asking excitedly.
After all, in Ye Huai’s eyes, he and Yuyan truly weren’t on the same level.
That year during the sparring match, Ye Huai encountered the proud daughter of heaven with innate Frost Holy Physique. Even giving his all, he couldn’t defeat her...
He naturally accepted defeat.
But if his all-out effort left even a small trace in that prodigy’s heart, then Ye Huai’s public beating wasn’t in vain.
"Ah..."
Yino hadn’t expected Ye Huai to ask so excitedly either.
He opened his mouth slightly, cleared his throat and pondered for a moment, finally smiling politely while scratching his face: "My senior sister said... that Senior Ye Huai of Liuli Sect is a good person."
"...?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere froze awkwardly.
Ye Huai raised his eyebrows and his lips twitched. Though different from what he’d hoped to hear, he was still satisfied.
"Ha, haha... so in Miss Yuyan’s heart, I was such a good person after that sparring match..."
There’s an old saying in the cultivation world: when a woman really can’t think of any good points about you, saying you’re a good person is the only reply.
Thinking this, Ye Huai scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
Unlike those arrogant male cultivators, though Ye Huai knew about Yuyan’s otherworldly beauty as a daughter of destiny, he had never been attracted to her because he knew his own worth, he simply wasn’t worthy of Yuyan.
Because of this, even though he’d been given a good person card after all these years, Ye Huai just laughed it off without taking it to heart.
"Yes, from what I can see now, Senior Ye Huai really is a good person!"
Seeing how polite Ye Huai was, Yino couldn’t help smiling and adding another blow.
Though they’d just met, because of their common laughingstock Xumo, they got along quite well afterward.
"Brother Yino came to Liuli Sect for the first time. You must be here to see Miss Ruoning."
"In that case, let me take you to Jinglan Peak to meet my master and miss Ruoning... On the way, I can also introduce you to our Liuli Sect."
With a rare guest coming to Jinglan Peak, Ye Huai naturally began making introductions.
He led Yino through the noisy crowd, but they’d barely walked a few steps toward Jinglan Peak when Ye Huai spotted someone in the crowd, a white-haired girl in loose robes.
"Hmm? Miss Yuebai?"
Ye Huai had sharp eyes. He immediately noticed the white-haired little loli sneaking around behind them.
Yino also stopped and looked back.
"Ah..."
Being stared at by two men simultaneously, this inexplicably complex relationship left Yuebai feeling lost.
Actually, the job of showing Yino around Liuli Sect should have been Yuebai’s!
But now...
Ye Huai’s appearance had stolen Yuebai’s position, leaving her unsure what to do. She could only secretly follow Yino and adapt to the situation.
Thinking this, Yuebai felt even more unhappy.
"With Senior Ye Huai here today, little Bai worked hard last night. Go back and rest first."
Yino suddenly spoke.
Instantly, Ye Huai’s originally warm eyes showed unprecedented shock.
Then, under Ye Huai’s gaze, the white-haired loli who used to be lazy in temperament, clearly small in stature but always wearing that bland, sagely expression toward everyone, now couldn’t hide the blush on her pretty face:
"Oh~ I understand~"
Ye Huai: ?
...
"Brother Yino, Little Bai...?"
"Back in Azure Forest, when Xumo and Yuebai traveled together, I once saved Yuebai’s life. Through that opportunity we became acquainted, naturally leading to the nickname Little Bai."
"I... see..."
.....
"Brother, your expression looks somewhat strange."
"Could it be that you have special feelings for Little Bai?"
Walking on the quiet path to Jinglan Peak, Yino raised his eyebrows with feigned confusion and curious questioning.
As soon as these words came out, the robed man leading the way ahead trembled.
Under Yino’s gaze, Ye Huai turned back. His early Divine Transformation cultivation stirred slightly, but then pulled back in an instant, as if not wanting Yino to notice his emotional fluctuations.
"Haha, Brother Yino really overthinks things."
"Miss Yuebai does have decent talent and is quite cute, but she only joined Liuli Sect a year ago. She’s just a young junior sister..."
"Because of this, I only see her as young with a kind unworldly personality. I worry she might get bullied in the sect, so I’ve been giving her some special care lately."
With just Yino’s short questions, Ye Huai explained for quite a while.
Yino could see that this kind of awkward, unspeakable expression couldn’t be faked.
Last night he’d wondered if Ye Huai had discovered Yuebai’s demon identity, then received his master’s orders to secretly monitor Yuebai under the guise of pursuit.
But looking at it now...
Ye Huai’s scheming probably wasn’t as deep as Yino’s conspiracy theories.
He really just had some kind of special feelings for Yuebai.
And... Ye Huai knew he should be ashamed. He didn’t even dare confess.
What could this be if not love?
"Is that so..."
"Speaking of which, when I was resting at the inn last night, I did hear Little Bai mention how things went bad between her and Xumo."
Though Yino knew the truth, he still said nothing on the surface, continuing to probe Ye Huai casually on the mountain path.
On the other side, hearing this, Ye Huai’s chest immediately felt sourer.
"Oh, Brother mustn’t overthink it. As mentioned before, Little Bai and I became life-and-death friends in Azure Forest long ago, so when Little Bai heard I was coming to Liuli Sect, she hosted me for one night."
"I see... haha, since you’re comrades who’ve shared life and death, what reason would I have to overthink?"
Ye Huai, knowing his gaze had been seen through, awkwardly waved his hand to cover his inner thoughts.
On the other side, Yino seemed to be explaining, but was actually being vague and deliberately not saying how Yuebai had hosted him at the inn last night.
If Ye Huai was really worried, he could ask.
But asking such improper suspicions, Yino knew Ye Huai clearly lacked that courage.
"Don’t worry, I also heard Little Bai say last night that Xumo scolded her for certain reasons, but later Senior Ye Huai helped her get justice by making Xumo apologize..."
Seeing Ye Huai’s mindset wasn’t good, Yino continued smiling while saying things to hook his curiosity.
Just as Yino’s probing experience suggested, Ye Huai was immediately hooked.
"Really? What did miss Yuebai say last night?"
"Hmm..."
