Chapter 458: The Reveal

“Buyu, look, that person is like a dog.”

“Yes, just like a dog.”

As Wang Haoran sincerely praised Li Yuan for playing the lapdog role so well.

An Buyu, nestled in his arms, sweetly agreed.

Regarding Li Yuan, who once affected their relationship, An Buyu found him increasingly annoying—

Though everything was her own doing, and Li Yuan was just an innocent bystander.

So now, seeing Wang Haoran teasing Li Yuan, An Buyu quickly laughed and joined in.

“No wonder Xixue doesn’t like him.”

“Xixue, like me, loves you too much.”

Feeling that Wang Haoran was jealous, she unreservedly used Li Yuan as a “tool” for flirting with Wang Haoran:

“Even Junior Sister Anning prefers you over her lapdog senior brother.”

“Anning and Xixue are always so eager around you, there were times I couldn’t compete with them.”

“I could only watch them get close to you!”

“Haha, are you mad?”

Wang Haoran laughed, “Next time, I’ll give you special attention!”

Not only attending the party but also receiving special attention.

“Mm!” An Buyu happily agreed, propping herself up in Wang Haoran’s arms, rubbing her cheek against his intimately.

Though she felt a bit shy imagining herself surrounded by her sisters while being “cared for” by Wang Haoran.

But since Wang Haoran wanted to do it… wanted to see her shy side… she would “perform well.”

—And so, the two continued to poke at Li Yuan’s heart with words as they headed toward the First Peak.

…

However, to Wang Haoran’s slight disappointment.

Upon reaching the First Peak, at his Martial Aunt Shangguan Yunlan’s residence.

Though Shangguan Yunlan and his Junior Sister Qian Anning were there, he couldn’t successfully “cook a big pot of delicious noodles” for everyone to enjoy together.

It wasn’t because Shangguan Yunlan was concerned about her little disciple Qian Anning, but because there was someone else there—

His master, Zhao Nishang.

“Haoran!” Seeing her good disciple carrying the Nine Nether Holy Land’s Saintess An Buyu over, Zhao Nishang immediately guessed he wanted to have a group discussion with her senior sister.

So she glanced teasingly between her good disciple and her senior sister.

And Shangguan Yunlan could naturally see Wang Haoran’s intention.

After all, holding An Buyu affectionately, their intimate demeanor clearly indicated they wanted to take things further.

And to go further, they specifically came to her place… clearly wanting her to join!

“……Annoying!”

She was practically An Buyu’s elder… and she hadn’t tried it in front of others yet…

Though if Wang Haoran insisted, she couldn’t refuse.

However, unlike the two elders, the simple-minded Qian Anning didn’t think much.

Seeing Wang Haoran carrying the already blushing An Buyu over, she couldn’t help but happily approach.

“……”

So, Wang Haoran could only helplessly set An Buyu down and sit properly.

Looking at the four distinctively beautiful women in the room—

Now, everyone knew about his intimate relationship with An Buyu and Qian Anning.

But his relationship with his Martial Aunt Shangguan Yunlan… was initially only known to his master Zhao Nishang, though he had just hinted to An Buyu, so now only Qian Anning was left in the dark.

As for his relationship with Master Zhao Nishang… the other three were unaware.

This was because Zhao Nishang didn’t allow him to disclose it.

“……Didn’t expect Master and Martial Aunt to both have such quirks!”

During this time, several times, while he was with his Senior Sister Lin Xixue or Junior Sister Qian Anning.

His Martial Aunt Shangguan Yunlan would come over “on official business”—for some sneaky matters!

And with Shangguan Yunlan doing this, naturally, someone would mimic her.

So after Wang Haoran and Shangguan Yunlan “finished official business,” his master would “lie in wait,” pretending to pull him aside for official business!

She hid it from them, and she hid it from her!

“Alright, alright, everyone’s playing this game!”

“Just wait, I’ll find a time to pull you all into a group chat to ‘play games’!”

Seeing Zhao Nishang teasing him with a knowing look, Wang Haoran decided internally.

And Zhao Nishang hadn’t realized her good disciple was already “Master, I’m upset!”

She was contemplating how to call her good disciple out “for guidance” in front of the other three women!

“Haoran… I bled to help him escape the secret room…”

“So, no matter how Haoran compensates me as his master, it’s justified!”

Having found a reason not to restrain herself.

When others were around, Zhao Nishang would force herself to endure, but when alone, she couldn’t resist feeling her good disciple’s warmth—

And now she couldn’t hold back, so she wanted to turn the “with third wheels” situation into “just the two of us”!

Then naturally get close!

“Senior Sister, I haven’t visited the bamboo grove behind your courtyard in a long time.”

With that, Zhao Nishang found an excuse to leave.

And as she left, she gave her good disciple a meaningful look.

“You all chat slowly!”

“……”

So, seeing his master so bold, Wang Haoran decided to go big—

“Lan’er.”

After setting down Qian Anning, Wang Haoran, under her puzzled gaze.

Walked to the main seat and picked up Shangguan Yunlan.

“Mm~ Haoran~” Shangguan Yunlan let out a flustered hum as she was kissed.

And below, watching the “performance,” Qian Anning’s eyes widened in shock—

“Master!?”

And then.

After the kiss ended, Wang Haoran held the blushing, embarrassed Shangguan Yunlan tightly.

Then he waved to Qian Anning and An Buyu below, “Anning, Buyu, come over.”

“Mm!” Having been informed earlier, An Buyu immediately came over.

And the shocked, speechless Qian Anning, though stiffly walked over, was now unable to utter a word—

After exchanging a glance with her master in Wang Haoran’s arms.

The silent master and disciple both shyly turned their heads away.

And the shameless Wang Haoran showed no embarrassment—

“I want to play some fun little games with you all!”
