Chapter 412: Wingman Zhao Nishang Activated!

At this moment, by the door.

Watching her little disciple’s departing figure.

Shangguan Yunlan, feeling a mix of emotions, suddenly saw her junior sister Zhao Nishang appear before her.

“You came.”

“I came.”

“…Junior Sister, you shouldn’t have come.”

“But Senior Sister, I already did… just as you hoped!”

It was as if they were silently communicating with their eyes.

Whether it was outside Zhao Nishang’s room earlier or just now when Shangguan Yunlan entrusted her disciple with something.

They both knew the other was there and knew that the other knew they were there.

The two sisters stared at each other for a few seconds.

“Junior Sister, come in and sit.”

Shangguan Yunlan was the first to speak.

Still not fully recovered from her complex emotions, her face was slightly red.

Facing her junior sister, she felt an inexplicable sense of embarrassment and unease.

Though she tried to hide it, Zhao Nishang noticed.

After they sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

Zhao Nishang, smiling kindly, looked like she was facing a shy junior:

“Senior Sister, are you feeling better now?”

“I’m fine, thank you, Junior Sister.”

“Just… thanking me?”

Zhao Nishang’s expression was playful: “Aren’t you going to thank your good nephew?”

“Mm… Haoran, my nephew, also… put in a lot of effort…”

Shangguan Yunlan’s eyes dodged as she spoke.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Nishang got straight to the point:

“Senior Sister, you must have heard my conversation with Haoran.”

“So… what do you think?”

“W-what do you mean, I’m his master…!”

“What’s wrong with being his master! As long as you and Haoran love each other, it’s fine!”

“Auntie supports you two!”

Zhao Nishang gently held her sister’s hand.

Seeing her junior sister’s mischievous eyes, Shangguan Yunlan lowered her head, feeling even more embarrassed.

Her face reddened further, and she lowered her head more, pretending to be clueless.

“Junior Sister, why are you saying such strange things…”

“What love each other…”

Facing her sister’s evasiveness, Zhao Nishang lifted her chin: “Hehe, Senior Sister, you should look in the mirror.”

“Your face is as red as a monkey’s butt!”

“N-no, Junior Sister, don’t tease me!”

“You just want to laugh at me. My face is perfectly normal!”

“Perfectly normal!”

Shangguan Yunlan pushed her sister’s hand away and, with wide eyes, “righteously” denied it.

However, her completely red neck made her words unconvincing.

Zhao Nishang laughed: “…Senior Sister, are you lying with your eyes open?”

Shangguan Yunlan immediately retorted, “I’m not lying!”

She couldn’t see her own face, so it wasn’t “lying with her eyes open”!

Her “innocent” look made Zhao Nishang both speechless and amused:

“Senior Sister, stop hiding it from me!”

“I really support you and Haoran being together!”

“…Support?!”

She didn’t expect her aunt… junior sister to be so understanding… no, so unrestrained!

Though not as strict as ancient times, a master and disciple relationship was still inappropriate…

Moreover, he was her little disciple’s lover…

Thinking of Qian Anning, Shangguan Yunlan’s expression froze, and she quickly shook her head in denial:

“Junior Sister, don’t say such things… I really don’t have any strange thoughts… you misunderstood!”

“Really?”

“Really!”

“Senior Sister, I’m not an outsider. Stop hiding it!”

“I said you misunderstood!”

“Haoran… my nephew is Anning and your disciple Xixue’s lover!”

“In my heart, he’s just a junior!”

…

After much persuasion.

But her sister still wouldn’t admit her feelings, eventually using cultivation as an excuse to send her away and hide in her room.

Helpless, Zhao Nishang returned to the second peak.

However.

“Failed… it’s okay.”

“At least I confirmed her feelings, so I can proceed.”

Initially, Shangguan Yunlan was her senior sister. If she was unwilling, as a junior sister, she couldn’t force her.

But now…

“Senior Sister, we’ve been sisters for so many years. This is the first time I’ve seen you so shy.”

“If you had no feelings, you would’ve coldly driven me away, not let me tease you for so long!”

“And just now, knowing I was there, you still gave Haoran so many precious herbs.”

“You wanted to show your deep feelings for my nephew!”

Actually, Zhao Nishang misunderstood the last part.

Shangguan Yunlan had no experience with love. The only examples around her were her disciples Li Yuan and Qian Anning.

So, in her view, giving such precious gifts was quite common!

At this moment.

Recalling her sister’s “false” denials, Zhao Nishang guessed the reason:

“Is it because of Anning and Xixue…”

“Senior Sister is straightforward. Under the pressure of reason and rules, she might really endure and just be Haoran’s master…”

No, as her junior sister and aunt, I must intervene!

Determined, Zhao Nishang opened her room door to check on her good nephew.

She saw that besides her nephew, her other disciple Lin Xixue and her niece Qian Anning were also there.

It seemed they had come to “sleep together.”

“Auntie.”

The three, resting warmly together, greeted her.

“……”

Seeing no place for herself, Zhao Nishang turned and left.

But before leaving, she reminded the two girls:

“Don’t tire Haoran out!”

“And don’t mess up my bed, got it?”

The two girls responded, “Got it!”

Then.

Zhao Nishang sat in the front hall.

Recalling her nephew surrounded by the two girls.

She slowly drank tea, smiling.

“Haoran on the left with Anning… on the right with Xixue…”

“Hehe… if Senior Sister were in the middle…”

“What would that look like? It must be interesting, right?”

“I really want to see it!”

Zhao Nishang anticipated—

Naturally, this wish would come true later.

Not only did she see it, but she also joined in.

She even led her disciple Lin Xixue in a “master and disciple vs. master and disciple” team race.

Defeating Shangguan Yunlan and Qian Anning.

And won the… reward.
