Young man, please stay

Chapter 285: Yu Xin Jue

In the princess's mansion, in the garden next to the study.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, illuminating the lingering fragrance of tea on the wooden table under the banyan tree.

In addition to the expensive tea sets on the table, there are also several exquisite pastries served in small plates and wooden boxes of various colors. Just looking at the portion and appearance, they are very different from the ordinary sweet steamed buns on the market and are not of the same grade.

"Ah-wu~"

At this moment, next to the table, a delicate and lively little girl was folding osmanthus and jujube paste cloud cakes into lumps and stuffing them into her mouth, looking very bold.

While also eating Yunpian Cake, Su Yinping on the opposite side pinched a piece with her fingertips, dipped it into a small red clay dish with osmanthus wine available in that season, and then took it from her left hand to her right hand and put a piece of Yunpian Cake between her lips.

Even Miss Su, who is usually very casual, is like this, so of course the Empress is almost the same.

The two of them were not particularly pampered, but eating cakes at a tea party was a pleasant thing, and under normal circumstances they would not be as hungry as the little girl in front of them.

“Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah! Ahem! Water… Water! Hurry and get me some water!”

If you eat Yunpian Cake as a meal, you will choke sooner or later.

The maid Tao'er was busy serving tea and towels to the little girl. Su Yinping looked at all this with complicated eyes. After a while, she hesitated and whispered to the empress:

"This child... is he really Nangong Zhuo?"

"Ah."

The Queen nodded:
"Master of Tianhe Sect, Qin Lang and I's third senior sister."

"It's the former sect master. I left after my mission was completed, hiding my achievements and fame. Now Ling Yue is in charge of Tianhe Sect."

Nangong Zhuo interrupted and then continued to stuff his cakes as if no one was around.

The more Su Yinping looked at it, the more strange it seemed:
"Why do I remember that she wasn't this small before..."

"The last time you met her was probably many years ago, right? Her form was unstable back then, so it's normal that you haven't seen her like this."

"That's it..."

Her boyfriend’s senior sister is her own senior sister. Compared to others, Su Yinping’s attitude towards this third senior sister is mainly out of curiosity.

"Why is Qin Lang still washing? How long will it take?"

"It will take a while."

Nangong Zhuo and Qin Lang took a bath together, and Su Yupan just brushed this off in front of her sister. However, Nangong Zhuo was in a hurry to eat, so he bathed faster, so the tea party was now one person short of three.

Or in other words, two are missing two.

Because Nangong Zhuo was currently doing nothing but eating, and almost completely ignored Su Yinping and Su Yupan.

So the two sisters didn't bother to care about her and started chatting among themselves. After chatting for a while, Nangong Zhuo finally felt satisfied with the food. Then he burped and said to Nangong Zhuo:
"Hey, I say, are you Su Yinping?"

"..."

Su Yinping was no longer surprised by Nangong Zhuo's unkempt appearance, and nodded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Yin Ping has met Third Senior Sister."

"Yeah, you're still very polite~ Better than that bastard Qin Lang~"

Nangong Zhuo was a smart kid. He folded his arms in satisfaction. His next sentence almost made the Empress spit out the cloud cake in her mouth:

"Su Yinping, by now you should already know that Qin Lang's first time was mine, right?"

“Ahem!…Ahem…”

Before Su Yinping could react, Su Yupan had already started to thump his chest and cough:
"Third... Nangong Zhuo! If you...if you speak rudely to me again, I will send you back to Yizhou right now!"

"Oh."

Nangong Zhuo said perfunctorily, and then, somewhat unexpectedly, he looked at Su Yinping, whose face turned pale and blue, very seriously:

"Su Yinping, I don't mean to provoke you, I just want to remind you of two things."

Seeing Nangong Zhuo say this, the strong Lady Su also showed the tolerance of a princess and took a deep breath:

"What is it? Tell me."

"First, I kidnapped Qin Lang and used force on him because I wanted to use him to heal my wounds. And because of this injury, my mind was damaged at the time. I'm sure you know this, so I'm just emphasizing it."

"..."

"As for the second point, you may not be clear about it... Not to mention you, even Qin Lang himself may not be clear about it..."

"?"

Qin Lang doesn’t even know?

Su Yinping's heart moved.

The empress pretended to be calm and as if it had nothing to do with her, but in fact she pricked up her ears with the mentality of watching the show.

On the other hand, Nangong Zhuo's eyes flashed with hesitation and depression. He pursed his lips, snorted after a moment and said:

"While I was healing Qin Lang, there was one time... one or two times... when he was confused, he called out... your name..."

"Eh?" Su Yinping was startled and pointed at herself:
"I?"

"Yes, it's you!"

Nangong Zhuo frowned, put one hand on his waist and pointed at Su Yinping with the other:
"There's no need to tell Qin Lang about this. Just keep it to yourself. Su Yinping, Qin Lang is a bastard, but I hope you can really understand your position in that bastard's heart! The reason why I'm speaking openly about this now is also out of consideration for how we will get along in the future. Do you understand?"

"..."

The empress did not comment and secretly glanced at her sister.

"..."

My sister was also silent. After a while, she raised her pretty face and said calmly to Nangong Zhuo:

"Of course I know what position I hold in Qin Lang's heart, so no need to bother Third Senior Sister to remind me."

"Hmph, that's fine."

Although Nangong Zhuo's tone was still as arrogant as always in the "Zhuo Beibei style", it sounded much more restrained at this moment, and he even nodded politely to Su Yinping.

This really surprised Su Yupan.

I always feel it's very inconsistent, but I can't tell what's wrong.

I always feel that Third Senior Sister has some conspiracy, but I can't figure out what it is.

Su Yupan kept thinking about it while subconsciously eating the cakes. It was not until he finished eating a red bean green dumpling that he suddenly thought of a possibility.

[There is no need to tell Qin Lang about this. Anyway, it’s OK for you to know it.]

[The reason why I am speaking openly now is also out of consideration for our future interactions]

Based on Nangong Zhuo's performance and what she said, this...

This seems to be what is called "the demeanor of a great lady"!

hiss…

Third Senior Sister...has stretched her hand so far...?
Su Yupan's expression flickered, and the look he gave Nangong Zhuo suddenly became complicated.

My goodness, I haven't even confirmed my relationship with someone yet, and they've already started to divide me into smaller ones.

Damn it! Is this the value of first blood... We are ahead by too much...

"?"

Just when Su Yupan saw through everything, he suddenly felt an itch on his legs.

When she looked down, she saw that it was Nangong Zhuo who was lifting her skirt.

"Third Sister, what are you doing..."

"Nothing."

Nangong Zhuo continued to lift the empress's skirt and stared at her legs thoughtfully:
"Su Yupan, what is this thing you are wearing under your skirt?"

"this?"

The empress lifted her skirt, revealing a section of her slender calves:
“It’s called stockings.”

"Stockings..."

Nangong Zhuo seemed to have heard this somewhere:
"Oh, is that the thing Qin Lang mentioned when we were in Yangzhou?"

"Ah."

"Hmm... it's a bit interesting... but why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere..."

The empress's eyes lit up when she heard this:
"You remember it too?"

"Remember what?"

"Master, she seemed to have worn something like this before."

Nangong thought for a while and blinked:

"Oh, yes, Master... Um... Speaking of Master, Su Yupan, do you still remember what you said about our technique?"

"Gong method?"

Su Yupan was still a little uncomfortable when they were suddenly brought back to serious matters. It was only after Nangong Zhuo's reminder that he suddenly realized this problem and the concept of Qin Lang's dual internal skills.

"Third Senior Sister, do you mean that Qin Lang will be like what Master speculated..."

"Well, nine times out of ten."

Nangong Zhuo twisted the two ponytails around his fingertips:
"In fact, the fact that he can practice the complete Mu Xin Jue and become the only male disciple of Yao Chi already explains a lot."

"Then... in that case, in the future he will..."

"I've already said it, nine out of ten times, but there are also one or two variables, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future... For example... Hehe~"

Nangong Zhuo smiled slyly, Su Yupan:
"For example, Junior Sister, if possible, would you be willing to teach him the Yuxin Jue in the future?"
