Chapter 132 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

Escape? What escape? Bai Lian was lost in confusion. It was just going home with Mu Xing He. Was it necessary to talk about running away? Is Mu Xing He's home a dangerous place where you might encounter super hidden bosses as soon as you enter? Just as she was lost in confusion, she saw a middle-aged beautiful woman with a few maidservants running out. She looked to be only in her forties, dressed in extremely elaborate noblewoman's attire. Her every move carried a sense of elegance, obviously possessing some level of cultivation. Bai Lian stared intently but couldn't discern the woman's cultivation. She could only vaguely sense that the woman had a strong aura, displaying a solid Yin deity, obviously having attained the Yang Deity stage. This surprised her. Judging by the reactions of the servants around her, it was obvious that this beautiful woman was their housekeeper. This Mu Residence was indeed full of surprises. Mu Xing He's parents were only at the later stage of the Yang Deity, yet even the housekeeper was a Yang Deity cultivator? Amidst her surprise, the beautiful woman had already rushed to the two of them, directly pulling Mu Xing He into her embrace, not saying a word, just gently sobbing. Mu Xing He felt a bit uncomfortable and said, "Aunt Lin." "You little troublemaker, you know to come home!" Aunt Lin rebuked tearfully. "I was just cultivating in the Tianzhu Shenque, where there's no day and night. I forgot about the time," Mu Xing He explained helplessly. When facing Aunt Lin, she didn't show the aloofness she usually displayed to others, instead appearing as obedient as a girl who had done something wrong. Even Bai Lian saw her like this for the first time. It was evident that Aunt Lin held an important place in her heart. "Hmph, she understands well how to act obedient in front of a senior friend. As long as she wins the favor of the elder, she can become a part of this family. Then she could control Mu Xing He at her whim. Haha!" Bai Lian thought. "Mu Xing, I know how you feel and why you don't want to come home," Aunt Lin sighed gently. "It's okay, just coming back is good, coming back is good." This Aunt Lin is a very emotional person, Bai Lian thought to herself. In the game, she never went home with Mu Xing He, so she had never met Aunt Lin. She didn't know if she hadn't completed this side quest in the past or if the game had been patched after turning into reality. However, people like Aunt Lin tend to be easy to get along with, which made Bai Lian breathe a sigh of relief. She could see that Mu Xing He had just been scaring her. She thought Mu Residence was a dangerous place, but it turned out that the person in charge was such an elegant and gentle big sister, completely devoid of danger! At that moment, Aunt Lin's gaze landed on Bai Lian. For some reason, Bai Lian felt as if Aunt Lin was scrutinizing her with a kind of inexplicable scrutiny in her eyes. Although it was a scrutinizing look, it carried no malice, more like... the way a mother-in-law looks at her daughter-in-law? Unable to help herself, Bai Lian was amused by her own thoughts – it was all so messy. How could parents treat their daughter as a daughter-in-law just because she brought a woman home? Moreover, Aunt Lin wasn't even Mu Xing He's mother. "Xing He, who is this?" Aunt Lin asked. Before Mu Xing He could respond, Bai Lian obediently replied, "Hello, senior, I am Mu Shijie's friend, Bai Lian from Taihua Sword Sect. You can just call me Lian'er." Pretending to be obedient in front of senior friends was something she was adept at. As long as she gained the favor of the seniors, she could become a part of this family. Then she would become the child from another family, and Mu Xing He would allow her to be easily manipulated. Haha! "Lian'er..." Aunt Lin squinted, looked at her chest, then at her bottom, and nodded in satisfaction. "You're a good girl indeed," she smilingly held Bai Lian's hand and said, "You are Mu Residence's housekeeper, Lin Jingyi. You can call me Aunt Lin just like Mu Xing He. Mu Xing He’s parents and I are friends; I've watched Xing He grow up from a young age, so I am like a mother to her." "Now that you're back at Mu Residence with Mu Xing He, consider it your own home. If Mu Xing He bullies you, tell Aunt Lin, and I'll teach her a lesson!" "Thank you, Lin..." Bai Lian said, increasingly bewildered. The conversation was starting to sound more and more like the advice of a mother-in-law to a future daughter-in-law, wasn't it? Following Aunt Lin into Mu Residence, Mu Xing He's voice sounded in her mind, full of helplessness. "Senior Sister Bai, don't take Aunt Lin's words to heart." Bai Lian blinked and sent a message back, "Mu Shijie, what kind of person is Aunt Lin?" Mu Xing He suddenly realized that even in her previous life, she had not mentioned her family's situation to Bai Lian. "Aunt Lin was originally an elder of the Tianyin Valley, and she became friends with my mother two hundred years ago. They became sisters and traveled the world together." "When my mother became pregnant with me, she decided to settle down instead of continuing to wander. Aunt Lin came along without a word, even willing to give up her position as an elder of the Tianyin Valley, and has since become the housekeeper of our family." "Although she is the housekeeper, she has watched me grow up from a young age and is like a mother to me." "Sh…" At this point, Mu Xing He's tone became somewhat helpless. "Don't be fooled by her age. She is over three hundred years old and has never sought a partner, yet she is greatly interested in such matters." "As I grew up, she always urged me to find and pursue a good match." "I haven't wanted to come home in recent years, and this is one of the reasons." Mu Xing He paused, her expression somewhat strange. "Anyway, just ignore what she said." Bai Lian nodded in confusion. She could tell what Mu Xing He meant. In addition to fearing the resurgence of emotions, Mu Xing He was also concerned that Aunt Lin would... Wait, then bringing her home to meet Aunt Lin...
