Chapter 196: Chapter 197: Sisters Still Not Getting Along

Fortunately, realizing all this now is not too late.

Zhu Minglang saw the utter disappointment in Zhu Xuehen’s eyes; after all, she had always hoped that he would become an unparalleled Sword Master, surpassing her and everyone else in the Supreme Court Imperial City.

Having given up sword cultivation, Zhu Minglang indeed felt lost, but he had never regretted it.

Because he knew that even if he eventually reached an unrivaled realm, having nothing and no one to cherish, he would truly regret it!

Whether it was treating Little White or those he cared about, Zhu Minglang spoke these words to Nan Lingsha, pondering at the same time whether these words could also move Li Yunzi.

She cared about only a few people around her,

But she guarded the whole city-state.

Now that the city-state was at peace and people had returned to tranquility, she would probably choose her own path, just like Nan Lingsha.

…

The sky was a bit chilly, as it was already autumn.

The two returned to the shore by boat and walked towards the building. Zhu Minglang continued to speak of his experiences from back then, only to see a woman sitting quietly under a tree in the courtyard, holding a roll of book, engrossed in reading. Her absorbed demeanor was genuinely beautiful and touching.

The reading woman glanced at them as they approached, then returned her attention to her book without much reaction.

But Zhu Minglang stood frozen on the spot, first glancing at “Nan Lingsha” by his side, then turning his gaze towards Nan Lingsha reading under the tree…

What’s going on!

Aren’t they supposed to be one soul in two bodies?

How is there a clone technique!

Which one is the painting aunt, and which one is the Dragon Shepherd??

How can they appear at the same time???

No, that’s not right!

The one beside me…

“Yunzi?” Zhu Minglang finally realized something and turned to look at the woman who had been conversing with him on the boat.

“Yes.” Li Yunzi responded.

Zhu Minglang was completely flustered!

It turned out Li Yunzi had also come to the Imperial City, and had already been arranged by Zhu Heavenly Officer to stay in the Zhu Clan Inner Court.

Why didn’t anyone tell me???

Just now on the Inner Court Lake, I thought she was Nan Lingsha from beginning to end…

It’s a good thing I didn’t act inappropriately, nor did I say anything abnormal; otherwise, my reputation would be ruined!

This is far more startling than a dive and ascent by the Sword Spirit Dragon!

Most importantly, from beginning to end, Li Yunzi never told me that I recognized the wrong person; she simply tacitly agreed and engaged in conversation with me…

Is my lady testing me!

To see if I cross the line!

Luckily, I have always been a man of integrity, although I must admit I have often been attracted by the stunning beauty of someone like Nan Lingsha, but it always stopped at mere thoughts.

“Ahem, Yunzi, you’re here, that’s great.” Zhu Minglang, both relieved and delighted, spoke.

“I heard some things about you in the Imperial City,” Li Yunzi said.

“At that time, I was prepared to just be a salted fish, thinking it was self-deception to talk to you about the past,” Zhu Minglang said.

In that small silkworm hut, when Li Yunzi left, Zhu Minglang had hesitated to speak.

Indeed, what was the point of telling Li Yunzi about his past then? On one hand, he was just a man raising silkworms, and even if he had some dashing looks, it was of no avail; moreover, people from Li Chuan Continent simply wouldn’t believe anything regarding the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

“I will consider what I talked to Ling Sha about, and what you’ve told me,” Li Yunzi said with a smile.

Zhu Minglang smiled as well.

Just now by the lake, he had simply been trying to persuade Nan Lingsha, wondering if the same arguments could convince Li Yunzi to join him in his travels to gain experience, as one needed to visit various places.

It seemed that what he had said had indeed sparked great interest in Li Yunzi.

Does that mean there’s no rush to return to Li Chuan Continent?

That’s great!

Nan Lingsha didn’t put the book away.

It seemed she didn’t want to engage in conversation with Li Yunzi, even though Li Yunzi had already approached her.

“He found out,” Li Yunzi said.

“Mm,” Nan Lingsha replied noncommittally.

“Did Yu Suo tell him?” Li Yunzi asked.

“I did.”

“Why?” Li Yunzi demanded.

“If you cared, you should have told him earlier. If you didn’t care, what does it matter if you told him or not?” Nan Lingsha said indifferently.

“I will handle my own affairs,” Li Yunzi said coldly.

It wasn’t the right time.

Just as Zhu Minglang didn’t talk about his past while in the silkworm house because it wasn’t the right time, and mentioning it would be meaningless,

Li Yunzi also didn’t think that now was the proper time to tell Zhu Minglang about Li Xinghua.

He would be on guard.

He would suspect.

He would be uneasy.

Even Li Yunzi herself hadn’t fully understood these feelings, she didn’t want either Xinghua, Ling Sha, or Yu Suo to affect her judgment.

“Are you done asking?” Nan Lingsha asked.

“Mm.”

“Li Yunzi, I am helping you because of Xinghua; what right do you have to be high and mighty in front of me? I’m annoyed, so I told him. If you’ve got a problem with that, what can you do about it? If there’s nothing else, don’t disturb my reading,” Nan Lingsha’s gaze turned extremely cold.

“You are as disgusting as ever,” Li Yunzi said.

“The feeling is mutual,” Nan Lingsha replied.

Nan Lingsha turned a page of her book, no longer paying any attention to Li Yunzi.

The thought that she wouldn’t have to see Li Yunzi for a long time actually lifted Nan Lingsha’s spirits.

Zhu Minglang was having a drink in the backyard when Fang Niannian ran over like a thief.

As soon as she saw Zhu Minglang, she said in a mysterious tone, “Do you know what I just heard?”

Zhu Minglang looked puzzled.

“The relationship between the two sisters is extremely bad!” Fang Niannian immediately described to Zhu Minglang the scene she had just witnessed at the upper floor of the building.

Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha?

What’s going on?

Although Fang Niannian didn’t clearly hear what they were saying, the atmosphere between the two was quite wrong, nothing like that of close sisters.

Li Yunzi said she wanted to talk to Nan Lingsha. One would have thought it was a sisterly expression of longing after not seeing each other for a few days, but from Fang Niannian’s description, it sounded like they were at loggerheads!

Could it be that Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha didn’t get along in the first place?

Was it Li Xinghua who was as close as sisters to Nan Lingsha?

Oh, they were sisters after all.

At that moment, Zhu Minglang also told Fang Niannian about the Dual Body Four Souls, asking her to help him figure out what was going on.

Fang Niannian had long suspected it might be the case. Now, upon hearing Zhu Minglang’s explanation, everything clicked into place!

“I think, it’s the Female Monarch sister and Sister Lingsha who don’t get along, but Sister Xinghua and Sister Lingsha are very close,” Fang Niannian analyzed earnestly.

“That must be it,” Zhu Minglang said with a wry smile.

No wonder many from the Li Family and the Nan Family were deceived by the false appearance of discord between the sisters.

They didn’t get along in the first place.

But Xinghua’s presence meant that when facing life-and-death decisions, younger sisters Nan Lingsha and Nan Yuso would ultimately stand on Li Yunzi’s side.
