Chapter 229: Chapter 134: Zhu Nanzhi Feels Taichu Peak is Chaotic and Full of Crises_2

She sighed softly in her heart and then heard Zhu Nanzhi say: "I heard from Senior Sister Qingyue that many of my husband’s clothes are hand-sewn by Senior Pei. Master, do you think that’s normal?"

Seeing the suspicious look in Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes, Xiao Yinruo naturally wanted to say that it wasn’t normal.

It was understandable when he was a child, but sewing for him when he’s grown up, how is that normal?

Especially when it’s a female master sewing for a male disciple...

Xiao Yinruo pressed her lips together, looking at the figure slowly walking through the courtyard gate, and said directly: "Ask her."

Zhu Nanzhi turned her head to look, quickly stood up, and gave a bow: "Senior Pei."

Pei Wanyu looked at Zhu Nanzhi with a playful smile, and the thought of ’this girl is really clueless’ first floated into her mind.

She had always been teased before, and now it turned out to be true.

She nodded: "Want to know why I sew clothes for Jin’an by hand?"

Zhu Nanzhi nodded eagerly.

"Because I..." Pei Wanyu said slowly: "Really wanted a son, so I raised Jin’an as one."

Xiao Yinruo gave Pei Wanyu a disdainful look. This woman used to be quite proper, but now she’s getting more and more shameless.

A son... Pfft!

"A son?" Zhu Nanzhi blinked: "Is that all...?"

Her voice paused as she suddenly remembered something important she had pushed to the back of her mind: Senior Pei is Senior Sister Qingyue’s aunt, not her mother!

If that layer of identity is overturned, then perhaps Senior Pei truly has intentions for my husband?

After all, Senior Sister Qingyue said she doesn’t have a father, and Senior Pei is of the Huang Clan... Demon beasts are always bolder than the Human Clan.

So does Senior Pei truly like my husband?

She stayed silent and said nothing, and Pei Wanyu waved her hand: "I was joking, I just simply wanted to sew clothes for him."

Zhu Nanzhi glanced at her master, wondering if he knew about these things.

It’s uncertain whether her master knows now, so she can’t speak up. If a fight breaks out, it would be very dangerous.

And those things aren’t too important; what’s important is to test Senior Pei’s intentions.

So she pretended to be curious and asked: "Does Senior Pei sew clothes for my husband for Senior Sister Qingyue’s sake?"

"Hmph!"

Zhu Nanzhi turned her head to look at Xiao Yinruo. Did her master’s ’hmph’ carry any deeper meaning?

"Well, we can’t say it isn’t." Pei Wanyu sat on a bench, took a pear from the table, and looked at Lu Jin’an’s name on the fruit’s skin: "As for the real reason... you will know in the future, don’t you think so, Yinruo?"

"I don’t know..." Xiao Yinruo subconsciously replied but then met Pei Wanyu’s meaningful gaze and couldn’t help but glare at her fiercely: "I see you’ve raised him as a son."

Ultimately, understanding Pei Wanyu’s intents, Xiao Yinruo softly sighed internally, feeling secretly regretful.

Back when she clung to Jin’an’s leg, there were so many excuses she could have used to brush things off, but in a panic, she lost her mind.

And now even the fact that there is this ’empathy’ leverage, she can’t escape Wanyu’s Five-Finger Mountain.

’But Wanyu was thinking of me when she made me empathize...’

Xiao Yinruo softly sighed in her heart, adjusted her expression, and smiled gently: "Why did you come here?"

"To chat with Nanzhi." Pei Wanyu looked at Zhu Nanzhi’s gentle expression, smiled slightly: "Our Jin’an really has a good eye."

Listening to the conversation between Senior Pei and her master, Zhu Nanzhi, unable to gather useful information, gave a bashful smile: "I liked him first..."

As she spoke, she recalled the dream she had the night she left the Nanzhuo Domain, where Senior Pei was in the bridal chamber with her husband in the dream, saying she wanted to let this "Fake Lady" see how comfortable her husband was with a mature woman.

Thinking back now, that dream might have been a warning!

A warning to be cautious of this Huang Clan-born master, her husband’s master!

She had to continue probing.

While her mind raced, Pei Wanyu looked at her with a playful smile: "I’ve already heard from Jin’an about what happened between you and Qingyue in the Grotto Heaven."

Zhu Nanzhi was taken aback, then asked tentatively: "He told you everything?"

Pei Wanyu crossed her arms, thinking that her good disciple hadn’t said much, but she could mostly guess...

So she replied without showing any emotion: "Of course."

Zhu Nanzhi fell silent immediately. Did her husband even tell her what happened in the ice cave?

She couldn’t help but glance at Pei Wanyu’s alluring face and notice Senior Pei’s slightly playful expression. Her husband seemed to have really told her...

Why did her husband have to report everything to Senior Pei?

He wasn’t a child anymore...

Even if they were master and disciple, there was no need to be this candid, right?

Could her husband respect Senior Pei this much?

Senior Pei was indeed beautiful, and her chest was bigger than her master’s, plus she had that mature and charming allure... Could her husband like Senior Pei?

But on the surface, wasn’t Senior Pei supposed to be Senior Sister Qingyue’s mother?

If her husband didn’t even know about Qingyue’s half-demon identity, then he surely didn’t know about Senior Pei’s identity either, so how could he be bold enough to like Senior Pei, his senior sister’s mother?

Thinking about it, a trace of sadness appeared in Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes. If it were truly like this... does Senior Sister Qingyue know?

Watching Zhu Nanzhi, a hint of amusement flashed in Pei Wanyu’s eyes. When it comes to Jin’an, this girl can’t hide her thoughts at all.

Pei Wanyu spoke softly: "What’s wrong?"

Zhu Nanzhi shook her head: "Just thinking my husband really admires you."

"I took care of him since he was ten." Pei Wanyu said with some pride: "He tells me everything."

Something’s off!

Zhu Nanzhi indeed felt something was wrong... This master-disciple relationship was too close!

But her husband didn’t show any unusual behavior...

’I’ll verify with Senior Sister Qingyue first and see.’

Zhu Nanzhi bit her lower lip lightly, but if it turned out to be just as she suspected, then what should she do?

If Senior Pei truly was the hidden biggest ’rival’... That ’rival’ would be terrifying.

Sitting back on the stone bench, Zhu Nanzhi said in a half-questioning tone laced with envy: "Senior Pei treats my husband so well, you must really like him as a disciple, right?"

Pei Wanyu said with a playful smile: "Why would I only accept one disciple if I didn’t? Who doesn’t like a disciple that brings honor to their master, right, Yinruo?"

Xiao Yinruo closed her eyes, guessing that Wanyu was preparing to establish her position as the rightful partner, but she didn’t want Nanzhi to fall behind.

Because by supporting Nanzhi, she could suppress Wanyu... So she wouldn’t dare threaten her in the future!

Therefore, she said nothing, turning directly to squat by the pond, watching the fish play among the lotus leaves.

And hearing Pei Wanyu’s voice, Zhu Nanzhi’s caution only grew. Though Senior Pei said her husband made her proud, would his excellence make Senior Pei’s heart flutter for a moment?

’I still need to approach this through Senior Sister Qingyue.’

Feeling the gears turning, Zhu Nanzhi smiled: "My husband also makes me feel proud."

Pei Wanyu thought Zhu Nanzhi is a good hand at palace fights... far better than Qingyue.

If Qingyue had half of Nanzhi’s ’cunning’, wouldn’t she have captured Jin’an’s heart all these years?

Thinking this, Pei Wanyu decided to change the topic, since today was only for laying the groundwork; the pace had to be just right.

Because she needed to ’push’ Jin’an to bring Yinruo down into the ’water’ as well.

In the Qingmiao Palace, there cannot be any oversight with these two master-apprentices.

’I also have to slowly guide Jin’an, and Nanzhi... needs to have a candid conversation with him because finding a Daoist couple, such a matter should be decided by his own heart, not solely by me.’

Pei Wanyu raised her hand, and a chessboard appeared on the table: "Yinruo, care for a couple of rounds?"

Xiao Yinruo said flatly: "Not in the mood, play with Nanzhi. She also knows how."

Pei Wanyu looked towards Zhu Nanzhi: "You know quite a lot."

Zhu Nanzhi lowered her eyes: "There’s still a lot I don’t know, like sewing clothes... Can Senior Pei teach me?"

Amusement grew in Pei Wanyu’s eyes: "I heard from Jin’an that when in the Nanzhuo Domain, it was always you who changed and washed his clothes?"

"Being good to my husband, isn’t that ought to be?" Zhu Nanzhi took a white piece: "Senior Pei must think so too, right?"

"Indeed." Pei Wanyu placed a piece at ’tengen’: "As a master, I also find it fulfilling to sew clothes for Jin’an."

Looking at the chessboard, Zhu Nanzhi noted that Senior Pei didn’t have any intentions of yielding to the junior.

She suddenly thought that Pei Wanyu seemed like the type of ’mother’ who had a strong possessiveness towards her ’son’.

’Pei Wanyu takes on the role of Senior Sister Qingyue’s mother, so maybe it’s also a mother-in-law who grows fond of a son-in-law as she sees more of him?’

Thinking this over as she made her move, if Pei Wanyu was indeed this kind of elder, dealing with her would be tougher... as difficult as dealing with a mother-in-law-like rival.

But...

If they truly liked her husband, why would they hide it from him?

Raise him and then prey on him?

Zhu Nanzhi suddenly felt this Taichu Peak...

So chaotic, and dangerous too!
