Chapter 438 - 433: Two Foxes Come to Steal Someone!
Carefree Pavilion, top floor.
A graceful figure stands before the Array, Dai Mei lightly furrowed, a wave of Spiritual Power surges around her.
At this moment, on the Array Stone before her, a faint glow is emitted, with mysterious patterns appearing and disappearing.
Suddenly, Bai Yaosha turns pale, a stabbing pain in her mind, and she doesn’t dare to continue comprehending, releasing her hold on the Array Stone and sitting down cross-legged.
"Phew..."
"This is too difficult."
After a long time, Bai Yaosha’s complexion slowly recovers, the stabbing pain in her mind gradually subsiding.
Gazing at the Ancient Array before her, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows tightly.
"Sister, don’t push yourself too hard."
At this time, light footsteps are heard from the staircase, and a graceful figure appears on the top floor, it’s Bai Yaoyin.
"What, you don’t believe in me either?"
Bai Yaosha rubbed her forehead, somewhat unwilling to admit defeat: "Just give me more time, I can comprehend this Array Pattern."
After these days of research, she has gradually grasped some of the concepts.
Bai Yaoyin falls silent, her sister’s talent in the Array path is not weak, and her Spiritual Power expertise has reached the Refined Level, even among the Ancient Race, she’s considered a young genius.
However...
Ever since hearing that Qin Yu repaired a damaged Array overnight, Bai Yaoyin suddenly felt that her sister’s so-called talent in Array was, before Qin Yu, simply... not worth mentioning.
Comprehending an Array Pattern takes ten days to half a month, and even then, it might not be repaired.
At this moment, she seems to have a deeper understanding of the vast difference.
"Sister, if it doesn’t work, let’s not push ourselves."
Bai Yaoyin hesitates slightly, persuading.
These days, her sister has practically been here the whole time trying to comprehend the damaged Array, each time her Spiritual Power is exhausted, she appears extraordinarily haggard.
"What do you mean?"
Seeing her sister’s doubting eyes, Bai Yaosha feels a bit defiant.
But, thinking of that Master Qin, who repaired an Ancient Array overnight, she finds herself unable to refute.
"Yaoyin, didn’t you say that Master Qin often comes by?"
Bai Yaosha suddenly asks.
It’s been over half a month, yet she hasn’t seen the mysterious Master Qin her sister mentioned.
"Maybe he’s been delayed by something?"
Bai Yaoyin feels a bit anxious too; actually, she’s thought about it a lot in these few days.
Could it be that she’s been too reserved, too restrained, causing Qin Yu to lose interest?!
But, when she was with Qin Yu, she’s already kept compromising, any further and...
Moreover, even when she was on the brink of losing her senses, Qin Yu controlled himself, not taking the final step.
Bai Yaoyin lightly bites her lips, her eyes flickering, unsure of what she’s contemplating.
Perhaps, she should be more proactive?!
Yet, she finds it hard to do so.
"Are you alright?"
Bai Yaosha gently waves her hand in front of her sister, this meeting she feels her sister seems like a different person.
Her sister hasn’t comprehended the Ancient Array or expended Spiritual Power, why is she always absent-minded?
"Me? What could be wrong with me?"
Bai Yaoyin snaps back to reality, stubbornly defending herself, such hasty demeanor, like a girl whose secret has been uncovered.
Bai Yaosha’s beautiful eyes flash with a hint of peculiarity, her sister is acting strange, could she really have fallen for an old man?!
No way, I can’t let my sister sink into misery!
But, her father reminded her, if she meets Master Qin, she mustn’t neglect him.
How should she open her mouth to advise her sister?
"Yaoyin, be honest, did you fall for Master Qin?"
Bai Yaosha ponders momentarily, choosing to get straight to the point.
"Ah? No, how could I..."
Bai Yaoyin’s eyes avoid her sister’s gaze, feeling very guilty as she hesitates slightly, then in a complex low voice: "He already has a beautiful wife."
Not only does Qin Yu have a wife, but many of them, each one a rare beauty, unmatched in their allure.
Her proud looks and figure hold little advantage compared to Qin Yu’s elegant wives around him.
Sigh.
Thinking of this, her expression inevitably dims, feeling somewhat anxious and uncertain.
"???"
Bai Yaosha’s mouth opens slightly in shock.
Her sister’s demeanor reveals many truths.
She indeed fell for that old man!
But how could this be?
"Still saying you didn’t!"
Bai Yaosha rolls her eyes, momentarily unsure how to advise.
The thought of her sister falling for a man in his hundreds, possibly even older, makes her feel a shiver running through her.
Dear sister, how can you do it!
Could it be, to let her sister step back into the light, she willingly sacrifices herself?
"Sigh."
Bai Yaosha sighs softly, stands up, gently embraces Bai Yaoyin.
This foolish sister.
Bai Yaoyin is startled by the sudden intimate gesture, seeing her sister’s expression, she guesses Bai Yaosha must have misunderstood something.
However, Bai Yaoyin doesn’t explain.
To be honest, she’s really worried her sister might also...
...
Jade Flower Palace, midday.
The Empress has risen, returned to the Imperial Study to attend to matters.
Qin Yu and the Empress Dowager step out of the sleeping palace, at this time, his eyes still full of confusion.
All morning long, he still hasn’t entered the Empress’s mind to find even a trace of the situation.
Yet, every time he intends to withdraw, the Empress signals him to continue.
In the moment, Qin Yu finds himself baffled by the Empress’s intentions.
