Jinjie felt that the atmosphere in the Hundred Spirits Pavilion was eerily dead today.
Actually, she had wanted to persuade the Pavilion Master to go to bed early last night, but ever since the Pavilion Master heard that Yino was coming, she seemed like she’d taken a stimulant and couldn’t be persuaded otherwise. When Yino didn’t arrive, she insisted on transforming into a bird and flying out to peek through the window to see what Yino was doing with the two young women.
Jinjie had no choice but to watch the Pavilion Master leave, while she remained on guard outside the Hundred Spirits Pavilion on the top floor of the Phoenix Pavilion.
About two hours later, before dawn, the Pavilion Master finally returned, dragging her lifeless body back. Her complexion was terrible, her phoenix eyes dark enough to kill.
Although Jinjie hadn’t dared to follow and spy, just from what she had learned while tracking Yino for so long, Jinjie could imagine some scenes that made her blush. Now, even the normally worldly Pavilion Master had returned with a dark face. She must have seen some outrageous, scandalous scene through that window.
Thinking of this, Jinjie couldn’t help but remember her own innocent and naive sister. She suddenly recalled that in a couple of days, she needed to warn her sister that the man called Yino was very dangerous. Jinyu was so innocent and honest—she absolutely needed to keep her distance and not be fooled by his false appearance as a refined gentleman!
“Pavilion Master…”
“You haven’t closed your eyes all night. Why don’t you rest first, and I’ll call you when the young master arrives.”
Immersed in this deathly silence, Jinjie couldn’t help but advise softly.
She knew she was just an employee and shouldn’t worry about her master’s concerns, but the murderous aura surrounding the Pavilion Master was too intense. Just standing nearby made her legs involuntarily weaken. If this continued, Jinjie herself couldn’t take it either!
But unexpectedly, the moment Jinjie cautiously spoke up, the red-robed young woman who had been brooding with a dark face seemed to finally have her floodgates opened. She suddenly sprang up from the long chair—
“Sleep? How can I sleep when that little bastard has me wide awake with anger!”
She raised her leg and stomped on the table, directly smashing both the tabletop and the floor.
At that moment, Jinjie, standing in the corner, dared not make a sound.
“That damned vixen!”
“One day when Yino isn’t around, I’ll slaughter her with my own hands!”
The red-robed young woman continued to curse viciously.
From the fierce light in her eyes, Jinjie didn’t think her master was just blowing off steam.
The Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master was secretly the most powerful person in Western Province City. Even the City Lord and the Holy Maiden had to respect her.
With the Pavilion Master’s methods, killing a girl would be effortless…
But Jinjie wasn’t sure if she should speak up.
Because that fox was no simple creature either. She was the infamous Pleasure Witch of the Western Region, someone even Liuli, the Holy Maiden of the Full Moon Sect, had to respect. If they truly fought, Jinjie couldn’t say who would win. After all, both sides were far above her level, and she was just a shadow guard doing her job for money.
“Pavilion Master…”
“Please calm down. These young people are full of passion. Maybe you just accidentally witnessed a misunderstanding…”
Jinjie brought over a tray of tea and placed it on the armrest of the red-robed young woman’s chair. At the same time, she perceptively bent down to help clean up the smashed table.
From the Pavilion Master’s reaction just now, she already knew that the latter just wanted to find a topic to vent her grievances.
So at this moment, Jinjie could only go along with her.
But as soon as she spoke these words, Xinyao, who was already furious, became even more enraged—
“Misunderstanding my ass!”
“In the middle of the night! Two women and one man sleeping in the same bed! What kind of misunderstanding could that be?!”
“And what’s worse, they deliberately pulled the bed curtains closed in the second half of the night! Just looking at the shadows on the bed curtains, I could imagine what filthy things they were doing tossing around in that bed!”
When mentioning the bed curtains, Xinyao became even more furious.
Actually, she hadn’t seen anything, but through the shadows on the bed curtains, she could make out small, rhythmic movements on the bed, and could faintly hear scattered whispers and increasingly rapid breathing.
Xinyao, transformed into a bird perched on the windowsill, couldn’t see inside, so she could only imagine what they were doing. The more mysterious it was, the more irritated and upset she became.
Now, Xinyao sat down, biting her red lips with her teeth, arms folded across her chest, her face puffed up as she continued to brood in silence.
“Yino is just a promiscuous little bastard!”
“When he was at the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, he was so well-behaved and promised me he absolutely wouldn’t fool around outside. But in less than half a year away from home, he’s already become so corrupt!”
“Indeed, all men in this world are heartless bastards!”
“How did I end up raising such an ungrateful wolf! If I had known ten years ago, I should have kicked him away!”
The more Xinyao cursed, the more wronged she felt. Her eyes stared straight ahead, her small mouth pouting as if about to cry.
But Jinjie listened with a headache.
She had always been curious—the Pavilion Master and the young master were only aunt and nephew, so why did the Pavilion Master care for her nephew with affection far beyond family bonds?
Years ago, the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master had ordered all the taverns in the City not to provide special services to Yino.
Moreover, whenever Yino traveled far, the Pavilion Master would send Jinjie to secretly follow and record his activities. Besides ensuring Yino’s personal safety, the Pavilion Master specifically instructed Jinjie to report Yino’s every move, preventing the young master from going to places he shouldn’t go and doing things he shouldn’t do.
This clearly exceeded the responsibilities of an aunt. Even Yino’s father didn’t care so much about his own son.
Yet whenever Jinjie questioned this special relationship, Xinyao would become emotionally agitated and righteously deny any connection. She always said this was a task given to her by Yino’s mother, and she repeatedly warned Jinjie not to think inappropriately or tell anyone about her secret surveillance of Yino.
Jinjie was just doing her job for money, so she could only swallow her doubts.
But in the past half year, Xinyao’s possessiveness of Yino seemed to have grown increasingly frantic.
She barely even pretended anymore.
