Chapter 146 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

"Princess, you're just jesting. The scenery in the Palace of Xiao Wei Yang is beautiful. How can it be a dangerous place?" Bai Lian remarked sternly. "But with the rumors spreading within the capital, the purpose of those monks from the Mile Sect is still unclear. The urgent matter is to investigate the atrocities happening in the capital, and to clear Princess's name from suspicion." "I believe Princess also wouldn't want to be affected by baseless rumors all the time, right?" "Why does Bai Fairy care so much about this Princess's affairs?" Xiao Wei Yang looked at Bai Lian, her eyes full of meaning. Bai Lian did not back down, earnestly replied, "The Taihua Sword Sect has always stood against evil acts. Currently, with the Princess unjustly affected by rumors, as the senior sister of the Taihua Sword Sect, I cannot stand idly by." Her words were so righteously stern that she almost convinced herself. Of course, she did not forget about the matter of solving the materials required for the Meiwens. So she continued, "Besides, Bai Lian helping the Princess is not entirely selfless. I must admit, I do have a favor to ask of the Princess." "Oh?" Xiao Wei Yang raised an interested eyebrow. "I wonder what Bai Fairy needs?" "This Princess is merely an ordinary person who has not yet set foot on cultivation, and might not be able to fulfill Bai Fairy's request." "Could it be... Fairy wants me?" "If it's Fairy, I wouldn't mind~" she said, striking a seductive pose in her chair, smiling playfully at Bai Lian. .. Facing Xiao Wei Yang who was 'enticing' her, Bai Lian didn't flinch at all. Even though Xiao Wei Yang would quickly grow up in a few years, ultimately becoming a stunning beauty, she was still just an undeveloped young girl at this moment, not as charming as the perennial loli Jiang Miao. So, at this point in time, she was truly like a flat board. Even if she made a coquettish move, she was still just a flat board! She said expressionlessly, "Princess, if your actions were seen and reported to the Emperor, it would not go well for you." "Tch..." Xiao Wei Yang, seeing Bai Lian directly mention her father, chose to adjust her posture from the heart. Bai Lian's unmoved appearance made her quite resentful. It's all because of this slender figure! If it were herself a few years later, Bai Lian would definitely not remain unfazed like this! She pouted sullenly and said, "Just casually striking a pose, and you dare to threaten this Princess with my father? Be careful, this Princess might chop off your head!" Seeing Xiao Wei Yang's unreasonable behavior, Bai Lian looked at her with a touch of annoyance and said, "The most important thing for people is to learn self-love. Princess, why degrade yourself with such behavior?" She instinctively wanted to preach some words of wisdom, but suddenly stopped. In her past life, it would have been perfectly fine for her to say these things, as she was Xiao Wei Yang's teacher and had the responsibility to teach her about life. But now, did she have the right to say these things? She was just a passerby who had recently met Xiao Wei Yang. "Bai Lian, you really have the audacity. You're just a mere nobody from the rivers and lakes, yet you dare to lecture this Princess," Xiao Wei Yang's voice came softly, the meaning behind it unclear to Bai Lian. "Do you really think you're this Princess's dream Mr. Right, to criticize and admonish this Princess?" Bai Lian bowed and said, "Bai Lian wouldn't dare." "You wouldn't?" Xiao Wei Yang walked up to Bai Lian, and raised her chin. Bai Lian was forced to look at Xiao Wei Yang in an awkward position. Suddenly, she seemed to see a completely different Xiao Wei Yang. She was no longer her adorable and lively student, but a queen looking down on her, examining every corner of her being. "When you were lecturing this Princess, you seemed quite used to it, as if you've done it many times before," Xiao Wei Yang stared into Bai Lian's eyes and said softly. Bai Lian lowered her eyes and said calmly, "As the senior sister, I usually guide our junior sisters. It has become a habit. I apologize for offending you, Princess." Her tone was very calm, as if she had not been affected by Xiao Wei Yang in the slightest. However, her hand hidden in her sleeve was already trembling slightly with tension. She felt somewhat annoyed with herself. She had warned herself not to be careless in front of Xiao Wei Yang, yet she couldn't help but view herself from the role of a teacher. It was already a decided fact that Xiao Wei Yang is a reincarnated individual, and by probing her true identity from the start, it was evident that she harbored significant resentment towards her past actions. If Xiao Wei Yang discovered her true identity, there might not only be dire consequences but possibly even the end of her existence. Currently, all she could do was feign composure and hope that Xiao Wei Yang wouldn't delve too deeply. However, to her surprise, Xiao Wei Yang not only didn't press on that topic but also focused on the fact she hadn't anticipated at all. "Junior sister?" "Ah, I understand, it's related to Mu Fairy, right?" "I heard that Bai Fairy and Mu Fairy went to the Gusu City together not long ago to eradicate the evil cult's lair. The local officials specially emphasized your actions. You even pretended to be a couple and deceived the cult. It seems your relationship with your junior sister Mu is quite good~" Xiao Wei Yang said, her voice becoming more dangerous and her grip on Bai Lian's face becoming tighter. Feeling guilty at Xiao Wei Yang's torment, Bai Lian quietly suppressed her spiritual energy to avoid harming Xiao Wei Yang. She endured the pain in her cheek, her eyes misting over. It hurts... Seeing the teary-eyed Bai Lian, a momentarily indignant Xiao Wei Yang began to feel bewildered. Honestly, she didn't expect to actually cause pain to Bai Lian. After all, in this life, Bai Lian was even stronger than in her previous life. If she covered herself with spiritual energy, her current mortal form wouldn't even flinch, even if she broke her fingers. But why did she suppress her spiritual energy and let herself be bullied? Although the sense of jealousy and resentment in her heart hadn't subsided, the force in her grip involuntarily loosened. In fact, Bai Lian's and Mu Jianli's actions were justifiable. Her jealousy was more of a misplaced anger caused by her memories from her previous life. She had devotedly loved her teacher, but her teacher had not devotedly loved her back. She was really angry, hurt, frustrated, as though she could just take her teacher for herself. Looking at the completely different Bai Lian before her, so different from the carefree and aloof image in her memory, Xiao Wei Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. In this life, her teacher seemed so fragile, as if she could be easily pushed over. Maybe... she would taste even better than in her previous life~
