Chapter 132: Reputations at Stake

Chapter 132: Reputations at Stake

"Good that your martial soul is still alive. My sister was really worried about you, fearing you wouldn't be able to attend the engagement ceremony!" Xiao Yuemei said, munching on fruit.

"What? She really wants me to go? Why?" Qin Yun took this opportunity to ask about Xiao Yuelan, finding Xiao Yuemei more approachable.

Xiao Yuemei flipped through the book given by Du Gui, reading while speaking, "Yes, she hopes you can see how her engagement with Qin Zhengfeng goes!"

"Oh!" Qin Yun didn't press further, instead walking over and sitting beside Xiao Yuemei to read together.

"My sister was originally supposed to marry you, but now she's marrying Qin Zhengfeng. Don't you feel sad about it?" Xiao Yuemei glanced sideways at Qin Yun, pouting.

Qin Yun smiled, "What's there to feel sad about? Whoever marries a woman like your sister will be the one suffering! I think you're better, why don't you marry me? I won't treat you badly!"

Xiao Yuemei giggled, "You want to marry me?"

After saying that, she stood up, sat on the table, crossed her arms, and laughed coquettishly, "If you marry me, you won't have an easy time either!"

"I think you're quite nice! So cute, I really want to pinch you!" Qin Yun reached out, but his hand was swatted away by Xiao Yuemei's delicate hand.

"Don't mess around!" Xiao Yuemei scolded lightly, "Seriously, do you actually hope my sister marries Qin Zhengfeng? Do you know that the marriage between you and my sister was arranged by your mother, but now it's been ruined by the Empress of Tian Qin, benefiting Qin Zhengfeng."

Qin Yun frowned and nodded, "I indeed don't want her to marry Qin Zhengfeng!"

"Sister gave up the top spot for you, hoping you would become strong enough to cause a commotion during their engagement ceremony!" Xiao Yuemei smiled slightly, "Now it seems you have the potential to cause trouble! You've caused many big incidents before!"

"Your sister doesn't want to marry Qin Zhengfeng?" Qin Yun clicked his tongue, "If she doesn't want to, can't she just refuse? She's at the Eighth Level of Martial Body, not weak at all!"

Xiao Yuemei sighed deeply, "Although she went to the Blue Spirit Star Palace, two Elder Martial Dao practitioners accompanied her. Do you know why? To keep a close eye on her, worried she might run away!"

Qin Yun also sighed.

"We girls have such hard lives. With high martial talent, we are sold off by our families like treasures, with no say in the matter. I will face the same fate in the future!" Xiao Yuemei looked helpless, taking a few angry bites of an apple.

"You should run now!" Qin Yun suggested.

"I... where could I run to? Hide and practice alone? That won't help me improve! Sister thought about hiding and practicing until reaching the Ninth Level of Martial Body, then secluding herself to break through to the Martial Dao realm, but now it's impossible," Xiao Yuemei looked worried, very concerned for her sister.

"What conditions did the Tian Qin Empire offer for them to agree to marry Xiao Yuelan to someone like Qin Zhengfeng?" Qin Yun was very curious, as Xiao Yuelan was far superior to Qin Zhengfeng in every way.

"They say it was in exchange for mystic weapons and mystic-level cultivation techniques!" Xiao Yuemei replied, "I also heard that several major families are vying for my sister, offering very high conditions. The engagement ceremony will definitely be lively."

Qin Yun felt angry upon hearing this, "What do they treat your sister as? This is like an auction!"

"Yes, Sister is very upset because of this, so she hopes you can cause a big commotion!" Xiao Yuemei patted Qin Yun's shoulder, "It's up to you now. Sister gave you the Mystic Heart Grass; you need to repay her!"

Qin Yun knew the Mystic Heart Grass wasn't a simple matter. Now, he had to help Xiao Yuelan no matter what.

"So what about you? Who does the Tian Xiao Empire plan to sell you to, and at what price?" Qin Yun looked at Xiao Yuemei sitting on the table, teasingly asked.

Xiao Yuemei's beautiful face was full of mischief, laughing sweetly, "After tonight, I won't be sellable anymore. Guess why!"

Qin Yun was stunned, thinking carefully, inwardly cursing.

A man and a woman alone in a room overnight, even if nothing happened, others would definitely speculate.

After tonight, his reputation might be ruined by this little girl.

Thus, those noble families who wanted to marry Xiao Yuemei would immediately reconsider.

"La la la la..." Xiao Yuemei hummed happily, swinging her legs, eating fruit.

"It's not dark yet, get out quickly!" Qin Yun didn't want anyone to think he had done anything to Xiao Yuemei.

"Okay, I'll tear my clothes and leave right away!" Xiao Yuemei smiled sweetly, almost devilishly.

Qin Yun sat down heavily in a chair, cursing himself for being careless, falling into this little girl's trap.

He said with a bitter face, "I haven't done anything to you!"

Xiao Yuemei bared her teeth, laughing coquettishly, "As long as others think you did something to me, that's fine! I don't care about my reputation, why do you care so much?"

"Of course I care! If you ruin my reputation like this, how will I find a wife in the future? Everyone will think I'm a scoundrel, preying on a little girl like you! This is terrible, my reputation is ruined!" Qin Yun looked utterly dejected.

Now he realized neither of the sisters was to be underestimated.

Especially this little girl, cold on the outside but cunning inside, was truly unpredictable.

"Sister took my place, giving up the top spot to you, making people think I have feelings for Qin Yun. After you displayed astonishing mental power, I fell in love with you, and we spent the night together, which is reasonable... Yes, that's how the story will spread," Xiao Yuemei giggled.

Qin Yun sighed deeply, accepting it as repayment for the Mystic Heart Grass.

"Come, let's read the book..." Xiao Yuemei pulled him up, sitting on the table together, acting carefree.

Qin Yun leaned over to look, "Mental Control Technique?"

Xiao Yuemei nodded, "This is a highly advanced mental technique from Old Du Gui. It allows you to control various objects with mental power... Although martial artists can control objects with internal energy later, it's far less effective than using mental power, as the internal energy dissipates when controlling objects."

"Little girl, how do you know so much? What exactly is your martial soul?" Qin Yun suddenly asked curiously.

"Secret!" Xiao Yuemei huffed, then continued, "If you learn this technique, we can use both internal energy and mental power to control spirit weapons for powerful remote attacks... For example, during a duel, if someone's weapon falls, we can control their weapon."

Qin Yun thought for a moment, amazed, "This is indeed very powerful!"

"Alright, let's start memorizing and learning together! I've heard your comprehension is very high, I want to see if it's true." Xiao Yuemei opened the first page and started memorizing with Qin Yun.
