Saintess Wu Qingran stood at the entrance of Yin Yang Palace, her expression somewhat inexplicable.

"Since Junior Sister doesn't need the gift from Senior Brother, then return it!"

"Hehe, my proud and arrogant Junior Sister doesn't care for these things, so I'll reward them to you loyal attendants!"

These were the words spoken by her Senior Brother, the Saint Child, when they were still at the Yin Yang Stagnant Pool.

At that time, Wu Qingran felt a strange feeling in her heart.

It was as if she was nothing more than a loyal maid in front of her Senior Brother.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Qingran took light steps and arrived at the entrance, where attendants and guards immediately saluted upon seeing the Saintess.

"Is the Saintess here to see the Saint Child, my lord?"

"Mhmm."

Wu Qingran spoke softly, her expression calm. Since she had gathered the necessary resources, there was no need to hesitate any longer.

From now on, she and her Senior Brother, the Saint Child, would be clear of each other!

Inside the Yin Yang Chamber, Su Qingyang was peacefully cultivating. Generally, matters were reported to Qin Xue through attendants, and these attendants were quite clever.

Seeing Qin Xue accompanying Su Qingyang every day, they understood that she had become the Saint Child's private possession! It was just a matter of time before she gained the official status!

So when they saw Qin Xue, they also saluted.

"Sister Qin, the Saintess is here to see the Saint Child, my lord!"

"Hmm?!"

Qin Xue was surprised when she heard this. Didn't the Saintess just return? Why was she coming to see her husband? Could there be something important?

"You go and call the Saint Child, I'll go ahead!"

"Yes!"

Qin Xue, dressed elegantly, had naturally changed her style to match her own preferences when living in the sacred place with Su Qingyang.

Although Qin Xue was by Su Qingyang's side, she was well aware that her status was inferior to that of the Saintess. Moreover, she was very sensible and wouldn't put on any airs.

She directly went to the palace gate to personally welcome the Saintess Wu Qingran.

But when Wu Qingran saw who had come, it wasn't her Senior Brother, the Saint Child. She furrowed her brows slightly.

"Your Holiness, I am Qin Xue. The Saint Child is currently in cultivation. Please follow me to the hall. The Saint Child will be out soon!"

"Mm."

"Qin Xue, is she the one Senior Brother mentioned before?"

Wu Qingran is not forgetful, and cultivators have almost photographic memory. She clearly remembers that this woman, who is much more imposing than herself, used to be the attendant of the Saint Child Senior Brother!

Now she has a different appearance and identity, commanding the servants. Qin Xue can't help but feel curious about her relationship with Senior Brother.

Soon, Su Qingyang arrived. When he came, he guessed what his junior sister's intention was. After all, she came to find him right after returning from her training. Besides repaying debts, what else could it be?

"You're back so early, junior sister?"

Although he subconsciously dislikes women who like to string others along, or rather, it should be said that the original Su Qingyang pursued this woman who clearly didn't like him, and brought it upon himself!

However, Su Qingyang still maintains the necessary politeness. He is kind to others and knows how to get along.

Seeing that Senior Brother doesn't have any extra negative emotions, Wu Qingran can't help but feel a sense of pride. She starts by asking.

"How have you been in the Holy Land, junior sister?"

"Good, very good. Not only have you made great progress in your cultivation, but your life is comfortable and your realm has also improved. I wonder how Junior Sister has been doing?"

Upon hearing Senior Brother mention herself, Wu Qingran's eyes welled up with tears. This past year has been a torment of life and death for her. There were several occasions where, if it weren't for the protection of the elders of the sacred land, she would have perished prematurely or fallen into a miserable state.

Someone as young and talented as Wu Qingran, with her extraordinary appearance, would naturally attract attention wherever she went in the Profound Heaven Continent. And there is no shortage of powerful individuals in the continent, so it is only natural that there would be evil people coveting her, especially during her travels and adventures.

There were also numerous dangers from missions and demonic beasts!

"Senior Brother, I'm doing fine, thank you."

She wanted to ask, but Wu Qingran wouldn't really say that she had a miserable time. However, she was genuinely curious about how her Senior Brother, the Saint Child, had broken through to the Spirit Wheel realm!

"Why did Senior Brother break through so quickly? It took me countless hardships to advance from the early stage of the Cave Mansion realm to the later stage! It was a torment of life and death. On the other hand, Senior Brother, your breakthroughs seem as easy as eating and drinking! In just one year, you went from the mid-stage of the Cave Mansion realm to the early stage of the Spirit Wheel realm! It truly makes Junior Sister look up to you!"

Su Qingyang secretly smiled in his heart upon hearing this. Haha, he didn't expect this Junior Sister to say something nice. In his memory, Su Qingyang had received nothing but cold glances from this Junior Sister.

Thinking of this, Su Qingyang was prepared to tease her.

"It's nothing! Just as Junior Sister said, it's as easy as eating and drinking to make progress. Oh, by the way, Senior Brother has found a wife for Junior Sister. Now you can get to know her!"

"What?!!"

Wu Qingran's face froze, unable to react, while Su Qingyang directly embraced Qin Xue in front of her. Qin Xue, now dressed appropriately and with the ability to cultivate, had a rosy complexion, a round and smooth appearance, and a tall and strong figure - a G-level powerhouse! She exuded the charm of a mature woman, unlike Wu Qingran's cold and arrogant teenage appearance. She seemed more like an extraordinary beauty who was close to the common people. Wu Qingran couldn't help but feel that her own charm was unexpectedly overshadowed by this woman.

I didn't expect Su Qingyang to openly admit it, which made her feel a sense of defeat deep down in her heart!

She has always remembered! Her senior brother has always treated her well, providing her with good food, drinks, and fun since childhood!

But today, her senior brother actually cheated on her and found another woman behind her back!

This makes her feel like something of her own has become someone else's!

Although she said in her heart and mouth that she doesn't like Su Qingyang, she really dislikes him.

But Su Qingyang's continuous breakthroughs and direct confrontations have made Wu Qingran have some change of heart, especially since Su Qingyang stopped being a sycophant.

It didn't give her that kind of close feeling that is closer than kinship, but instead made her have some goodwill.

However, this goodwill has just arisen.

In the blink of an eye, there is a new person for Senior Brother!

This is coming too fast!

It's too sudden, catching her off guard!

At this moment, Qin Xue's face is delicate and blushing.

She scolds.

"Annoying! What are you doing, husband! Don't you see the Holy Lady here?"

Qin Xue softly pats Su Qingyang's shoulder, but still leans on him, obediently following Su Qingyang's intentions and caring about his feelings.

In contrast, Wu Qingran's face immediately turns a bit worse.

She doesn't understand, which is not surprising. Clearly, her senior brother has a new woman, and she should be happy about it. But now she feels very unhappy for some reason!

If Su Qingyang knew, he would definitely be annoyed!

"I hate this kind of not accepting it, yet not wanting others to find someone new. It's so disgusting!"

Seeing Wu Qingran's somewhat unpleasant expression, Su Qingyang feels delighted and speaks up.

"Sister apprentice, what do you need from senior apprentice brother?"

Wu Qingran had prepared many words in her heart, wanting to politely return the resources and casually inquire about senior apprentice brother's cultivation secrets. But since Su Qingyang didn't mention it, she could only proactively explain her purpose, not wanting to disturb senior apprentice brother's new relationship.

"Senior apprentice brother, do you remember when sister apprentice said she would return those resources?"

"Mm, I remember."

"Sister apprentice has worked hard for a year and finally gathered the resources owed to senior apprentice brother. Although they are not the original items, their value is equivalent. Senior apprentice brother also said that spirit stones can be used to offset the debt."

"Mm."

'...'

After waiting for a while, Wu Qingran's expression darkened when she realized Su Qingyang wasn't saying anything. She had originally wanted to see senior apprentice brother's reaction, but there was none. After a long time, Su Qingyang spoke.

"Sister apprentice, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing! These are all the resources sister apprentice is returning. Senior apprentice brother can count them if you want!"

"It's fine, no need to count. It's late, sister apprentice, please go back! Senior apprentice brother still needs to cultivate!"

Wu Qingran hadn't expected that Su Qingyang didn't even bother to take a proper look at the resources, not caring about their quantity at all. It seemed that he didn't want to see her at all, as if giving her a hint to leave.

It's still morning, and senior apprentice brother says it's too late!

Speaking nonsense with his eyes wide open!

This made Wu Qingran feel a great sense of frustration, as well as other emotions, all of which she couldn't express. She could only hide her expression and prepare to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, Wu Qingran seemed to have something else to say, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw...

Su Qingyang lifting Qin Xue's chin and giving her a French kiss, leaving Wu Qingran stunned. The words that were about to come out of her throat had to be swallowed back.

For the first time in her life, Wu Qingran felt a great sense of disappointment towards her own senior apprentice brother.

In the end, Wu Qingran's expression was both disappointed and a little unwilling. She could only suppress her inner frustration and leave.
