Meanwhile, at the other end of *Long Jade Street* in the *Western District*.

Xiao Yunluo, dressed in her ***Black Star*** Sect uniform, walked down the street alone among pairs of cultivator couples strolling around and joking.

Her mind kept replaying what Pei Lianxue had said just now.

Pei Lianxue and Ye Anping were engaged, and they even...

She had been depressed for several months because she was stuck with her mother, and she had been looking forward to seeing each other again all this time, but now she got such heartbreaking news...

Admittedly, it wasn't a surprise that Lianxue and Ye Anping succeeded.

Xiao Yunluo knew that the two had feelings for each other and it only took them so long to confirm their relationship, mainly because Lianxue was too stupid.

But...

Xiao Yunluo lightly bit her lip, feeling regretful.

If she had taken the initiative when they were in ***Dragon House***, maybe Ye Anping would have become her cultivation partner...

If Ye Anping hadn't found the '*Erotic Pictures of Immortal Palace*' in her house and given it to Pei Lianxue, would they have gotten together so quickly?

*Erotic Pictures of Immortal Palace*...

*Erotic Pictures of Immortal Palace*...

Xiao Yunluo recalled the illustrations in the erotic book and suddenly remembered that in the last few pages, there were some rather unorthodox pictures.

For example, '*Two beauties swallow the dragon*'...

She couldn't help but substitute herself, Pei Lianxue, and Ye Anping in those illustrations in her memory.

She had a very good relationship with Pei Lianxue, who was the first person, other than her mother, to call her 'Yunluo'.

And Ye Anping was the one she liked.

Xiao Yunluo found that she didn't seem to be adverse to the thought of Pei Lianxue and Ye Anping...

"No, no, no!!"

Realizing that her mind was going in a strange direction, Xiao Yunluo hastily slapped her cheeks and shook her head.

"How could I think about such a thing, and how could I talk about such a thing?! What would Ye Anping think of me if he knew? A perverted girl who is obsessed with sex..."

After talking to herself, Xiao Yunluo was now a little hesitant. "No... that's not right! I can't do that!!"

She covered her blushing cheeks, swung her four ponytails like rattles, and finally took several deep breaths to clear her confused head.

"Anyway, go find Ye Anping first, and be calm, just like before. I am his senior sister, and he is my accompanying student... Yes! That's it!"

Xiao Yunluo took out a small mirror and rearranged her bangs. No matter what, she still wanted Ye Anping to see her most beautiful self.

As Xiao Yunluo walked along the street, she glanced back and forth at the young men walking under their umbrellas to look for Ye Anping.

After searching for a while, a young man standing in front of a shop with his back to the street caught her attention.

The young man was holding an oil-paper umbrella, standing in front of a jewelry store as if waiting for someone.

Although Xiao Yunluo didn't see his face clearly, her intuition told her that it was Ye Anping.

She was a little confused as to why Ye Anping was standing in front of a jewelry store, but she didn't think much about it and walked over immediately to say hello. "Ye..."

Before the word 'Anping' got out, her tongue twitched in her mouth.

Xiao Yunluo saw a girl with long, white-and-black hair walking out of the store, going under Ye Anping's umbrella, standing on tiptoe, and inserting a wooden hairpin into his bun.

Si Xuanji narrowed her eyes and smiled as she looked at Ye Anping's face. "Master Ye, this is a return gift. It suits you very well."

"Thank you, Miss Xuanji..." Ye Anping raised his hand to pluck the hairpin and said, "It's just that I don't wear hairpins very often."

As the two were talking, Si Xuanji seemed to notice Xiao Yunluo, who was frozen in place. "Master Ye, my sister is here."

Ye Anping heard this and turned around. When he saw Xiao Yunluo's astonished expression, he roughly guessed what she was thinking. He hesitated for a while before greeting her.

"Sister Xiao, long time no see."

"..."

Xiao Yunluo opened and closed her mouth slightly several times. Finally, when she saw her mother glaring at her, she came back to her senses, walked forward with a pale face, and asked in a shaky voice, "Ye Anping, you... why are you with my sister?"

Ye Anping looked back at Si Xuanji in silence. It seemed that she still didn't want to expose herself, so he just played along with her. "We met on the road earlier, and Miss Xuanji invited me to accompany her for a stroll."

"Xuan... Miss Xuanji..."

"Yes." Ye Anping nodded slightly. "When I had a store in the ***Black Star*** Sect town market, I met Miss Xuanji and we also visited the shops there several times."

"Ah... this... I see."

Xiao Yunluo didn't know what to say and looked blankly back and forth at her mother and Ye Anping. After noticing the hairpin on her mother's head, she couldn't help it anymore and grabbed Ye Anping's wrist, pulling him ten feet away in a flash.

"Ye Anping, did you give my sister a hairpin?"

"Well, when you go shopping with a girl, you have to buy her something, right?"

"Then what kind of person do you think my sister is?"

"She is a very smart girl. What's wrong?"

"No... nothing."

Xiao Yunluo turned her head and looked at Si Xuanji, who was waiting in the same place, swallowed, and then hurriedly reminded him. "Ye Anping, you can't fall in love with my sister!"

"...Sister Xiao, am I that kind of person?"

"Then, why did you give her a hairpin?"

"It was a thank-you gift. Miss Xuanji did me a favor before."

"Before..." Hearing this, Xiao Yunluo's mind froze. She suddenly remembered the words the parrot had said before that she didn't understand and asked, "Have you seen a parrot?"

"A parrot? That parrot raised by Miss Xuanji? It's quite well-behaved."

"Wait here for a moment!"

Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath and asked Ye Anping to stay there. Then, she ran to Si Xuanji, pursed her lips slightly, and asked in a whisper, "...You, what are you going to do to Ye Anping?! The parrot said before that you..."

Si Xuanji tilted her head, smiling. "What can I do to him?"

Xiao Yunluo looked back at Ye Anping, then asked again, "...Make him... my father?"

Si Xuanji narrowed her eyes as if she was amused but not quite, and she replied, "If Master Ye can reach the *Void Returning* stage in the future, I wouldn't mind making him your daddy."

"..."

Si Xuanji covered her mouth and chuckled, then walked around Xiao Yunluo and strolled to Ye Anping. "Master Ye, now that we happened to meet, why don't you accompany us both to visit **Heavenly Gate City**?"

Ye Anping glanced at the 'sisters' from left to right before nodding. "Why not?"
