*Jingle~jingle~~*

Si Xuanji walked beside Ye Anping, the golden bells on her ankle bracelet making a light sound with each step she took.

Although the floor tiles in the market were not clean, after walking for so long, every time Si Xuanji lifted her feet, Ye Anping could vaguely see her white, soft, and clean soles.

Was this what high-level cultivators called "walking a thousand miles without touching the mundane world's dust"?

Ye Anping didn't dare to look more, but he suddenly felt something was wrong. After a few more glances, he frowned, his eyes unconsciously attracted to the "wrong" place.

He had been shopping with Si Xuanji for quite a while, but he hadn't noticed until now that Si Xuanji actually...

She got padded.

Ye Anping was very sure that she padded her chest. Although there were several models of Si Xuanji in the game, all of them had one thing in common: when viewed from the side, they looked like an "I". But now, it was actually a "P".

After walking for a while, they came to the river channel of the market, and there happened to be a small, empty pavilion in front of them, so they walked inside and sat down to rest their feet.

Si Xuanji pulled her mask on the side of her forehead, her feet lightly swaying. She then covered her mouth and turned her head sideways with a smile. "By the way, thank you, Young Master Ye, for taking care of my sister in the matter of the ***Dragon House***. My sister Xiao is not very talented; I hope you can take good care of her."

"Eh?" Ye Anping pretended to be surprised and asked, "Miss Xuanji, how did you know?"

"I hear a lot of things. After hearing about what happened at **Duchun City**'s *Jiang Mansion*, I always thought you were behind it, Young Master Ye. Was I wrong?"

With a wry smile, Ye Anping shook his head, cupped his hands in admiration, and said, "Miss Xuanji, you are very clever."

Si Xuanji pursed her lips, and after a while, she said, "Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Ye. But on another note, if it wasn't for you, my sister Xiao would have suffered greatly. As her younger sister, I also want to thank you. Is there anything you want?"

*Doesn't she have your protection spell? Feng Yu Die has more than one bruise on her body, but she doesn't even have one...*

Ye Anping was silent for a while before answering. "It was just a small favor. I also received a reward from Miss Li."

"Young Master Ye, you don't need to be formal. If there's anything you need, feel free to tell me... Anything at all."

Si Xuanji deliberately pushed her fake chest, hinting to Ye Anping to look at her clothes, but he reacted quickly and shifted his gaze to the river.

"I don't really need anything, but..."

"Yes?" Si Xuanji tilted her head. "I promised you. If you need anything, just say it directly. After all, the initiative was mine, and my word is worth gold."

"Well..." Ye Anping took out the two jade charms he had bought from the scammer and asked, "I just want to ask if you have something similar. I would like to borrow two."

Si Xuanji blinked, taken aback. "...Just this?"

"Yes, that's all."

Si Xuanji looked at him, exhaled discontentedly, then waved her hand over his palm and replaced the two talismans he held with two smaller but more exquisite jade pendants.

"Young Master Ye, I'll lend these two jade talismans to you..."

Ye Anping glanced at the jade talismans. Since they were a gift from her, there was no need to inspect them. He hurried to thank her. "This is great. Thank you very much, Miss Xuanji. I will definitely return them intact later."

"You're too polite." Si Xuanji smiled and then asked bluntly, "By the way, doesn't your excess yang energy bother you?"

Ye Anping answered flatly. "It doesn't bother me."

Being rebuffed again, Si Xuanji's eyes fluttered as she looked down at her fake breasts and sighed. Suddenly, she felt something, and her expression turned serious. "I should go back now. But it seems that you are troubled by something? Would you like to tell me about it? Maybe I can help."

"Well, I actually need someone to handle some matters for me, but unfortunately, I can't find a suitable candidate."

"Manpower." Si Xuanji thought for a moment before grabbing Ye Anping's left hand. She opened it, took a look, then smiled. "Mr. Ye, you're looking too far away and forgot what's in front of you."

"In front of me?"

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the small canal.

Xiao Yunluo, Feng Yu Die, and Xiao Tian stacked their heads together by the wall like a pyramid, peeking at the two people sitting and talking in the pavilion opposite.

Although their ears were now pointing in that direction, no matter whether they used their spiritual sense or anything else, they had no idea what the two were talking about. They could only see Ye Anping exchanging things with the woman.

Because of curiosity, Feng Yu Die rolled her eyes and glanced upward at the little fairy above her head. 'Xiao Tian, why don't you go take a look? That girl didn't show her face at all, and we couldn't see her. What does she look like? What are they talking about?'

Xiao Tian shook her head. *"No, that girl is quite formidable. She has set up soundproofing and visual barriers. Can you see what color her hair is?"*

?

Xiao Tian, you can't even hear her? So useless.

However, she didn't say anything. She lowered her head to look at Xiao Yunluo and asked. "Sister Xiao, what color hair do you see on that girl??"

Xiao Yunluo raised her head with a puzzled expression and rolled her eyes before answering. "Black. What's wrong?"

?

Feng Yu Die frowned. She saw that the girl sitting next to Ye Anping had white hair...

She immediately looked up at Xiao Tian. 'What color do you see?'

*"It's black and white mixed together, with black turning to white and white turning to black."*

Feng Yu Die couldn't imagine what it looked like; it was too strange.

After a while, she said directly, "Sister Xiao, why are we sneaking around? Why don't we just go over and say hello?"

"How could we do that?"

Xiao Yunluo frowned and objected. She wanted to say, what if Ye Anping was secretly fooling around behind Pei Lianxue's back? In her eyes, that black-haired girl seemed to be a sly woman who deliberately moved closer to Ye Anping's shoulder.

When they sat down initially, there was at least one person's distance between them. Unknowingly, the girl's shoulder almost rested against Ye Anping's.

But she wasn't sure who was discreetly moving their butt toward whom. All she could see was that Ye Anping didn't seem to dislike that girl.

"Why not? We will just happen to meet by chance, and we can also get to see what that girl looks like. She has been facing away from me the whole time, and I couldn't see her face."

"No, what if..."

Xiao Yunluo was about to argue back when she saw the woman taking Ye Anping's hand. Her eyes widened instantly, and, unable to hold back any longer, she jumped out from behind the wall and rushed toward them.

...

Si Xuanji puffed up her fake breasts, cupped her hands, and said, "Master Ye, please come to my humble abode for a visit if you have time. I often feel lonely."

"Will do."

After saying that, Si Xuanji jumped on the flying sword and flew away, leaving Ye Anping alone in front of the pavilion.

He was thinking about the meaning of "Looking too far and forgetting what's in front of you" when suddenly, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Ye Anping!!"

Ye Anping turned around and saw Xiao Yunluo and Feng Yu Die. He thought to himself, no wonder Si Xuanji ran so fast. It turned out that they were here.

Seeing Ye Anping turning, Xiao Yunluo suddenly lost confidence, averted her gaze, and asked, "Who were you with just now?"

"Well..." Ye Anping thought for a while before replying, "A friend."

"What kind of friend?"

"The same kind as you."

"..."

*What kind of friend is that*... Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips, feeling a bit confused by Ye Anping's words.

At this moment, Feng Yu Die also caught up, carrying a bunch of bags in her arms.

"Young Master Ye, we just secretly followed you..."

*Smack--*

Xiao Yunluo slapped her on the back, making her swallow her words.

"We just happened to pass by here and saw you."

?

Feng Yu Die looked at her, raising her eyebrows. Seeing Xiao Yunluo glaring at her, she chuckled nervously. "Ahaha...yes, yes, we met by chance."

"You bought so many things?"

"Rouge, clothes and such... hehe, things I like." Feng Yu Die blinked, then turned her head to show Ye Anping the newly purchased hairpin. "Young Master Ye, do you think my new hairpin is beautiful?"

*You actually like this girl stuff?*

Complaining in his heart, Ye Anping suddenly realized what Si Xuanji meant when she said, "Looking too far ahead and forgetting what's in front of you."

Wasn't the best candidate for the ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect's matter right here?

That shrewd Xiao Tian was always by her side.

And Feng Yu Die herself was very resourceful.

As for being obedient and loyal, she obeyed his sister's every word.

Just a little adjustment was needed.

Ye Anping looked Feng Yu Die up and down, stroking his chin. "Well..."

Feng Yu Die half closed her eyes, smiled sweetly, and asked again. "How is it? Do I look good?"

"It's not quite right."

"Ah? Is it not looking good?" Feng Yu Die pouted, feeling a bit disappointed. "I thought it was pretty."

"It's not that it doesn't look good... but it doesn't match your clothes. I'll take you to a clothing store to buy two sets of clothes."

"Oh? Okay!"

"What?"

Xiao Tian was also stunned. She thought that Ye Anping finally understood that Yu Die was also a beautiful girl and was going to invite her to go shopping together. She was pretty excited for a while, until...

Ye Anping brought her dear Yu Die in front of a men's clothing store in the market.

*"?"*

Four people stood in front of a men's clothing store and "looked to the left".

Only this time, Ye Anping was at the forefront.
