My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion

Chapter 1228: Chapter 666: All Things Compete to Thrive (Double-Length) (Part 2)

She remembered the few encounters with Qin Qingluo in Capital City, that subtle mutual appreciation... this relationship suddenly became extremely complicated.

As Min Ning was lost in thought, Yin Weiyin, who was standing quietly beside her, heard Chen Yi’s words "shouldn’t hide it from her," and his eyes slightly brightened for a moment under his lowered eyelids.

He hides it from Min Ning, yet... openly doesn’t hide it from her?

This small difference, like a spark thrown into the darkness, suddenly made her heart, clenched by fear and anxiety, feel an indescribable warmth and...

Yin Weiyin’s eyes flickered for an instant,

If that’s the case, it seems at home... she can still take charge...

Chen Yi’s gaze returned from the window to Min Ning, as if she would slam the door at this moment, accuse him of shamelessness, or even draw her sword against him, would be reasonable; he... would probably just try to keep her.

For some reason, facing Min Ning, he always had a bit more equality and freedom for her to come and go than with other women, perhaps because of her independent knightly spirit.

As time ticked away, just when Chen Yi thought she was about to explode, even secretly guarding, Min Ning suddenly took a deep breath, her chest visibly rising and falling.

She lifted her head, the heavy and complex expression on her face gradually faded, replaced by a playful smile.

She laughed, not a cold laugh nor a laugh out of extreme anger, but with a hint of genuine interest.

"Ha," she laughed shortly, her phoenix eyes sneaking a slanted glance at Chen Yi, "I’m really curious now."

Chen Yi paused briefly.

Min Ning leaned forward slightly, her eyes burning with incredulity, "This girl named Qin Yue, her father is you, Chen Yi, her mother is she, Qin Qingluo... what kind of creature is that?"

This question was too unexpected, even Chen Yi was momentarily stunned. He subconsciously replied, "Dragon breed?"

"Pfft, cough cough!" Min Ning choked on her own saliva, then erupted into a hearty and unrestrained laugh, "Hahaha! Dragon breed? Chen Zunming, you really dare to say that!"

Children of Jianghu, inherently harbor a certain sense of aloofness and disdain towards the Heavenly Family nobility, especially in this Southern Border, a place where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, rebellion rampant. Min Ning only felt this remark was absurd yet fitting, instead dispelling the knot in her heart.

She laughed for a while, then wiped nonexistent tears from the corner of her eyes, looked at Chen Yi with interest, and added, "If it’s a dragon breed, that would be interesting! I really want to take her as a disciple and see how this ’dragon breed’ will turn out!"

Take a disciple?

This time Chen Yi was truly stunned.

He saw the genuine interest and eagerness in Min Ning’s eyes, and was momentarily amused and speechless; this female knight... her thoughts were jumping too quickly. She had always wanted to take him, Chen Yi, as a disciple without success, and now she directly set her sights on his daughter?

Is she planning to bring both father and daughter under her "Hero Min’s" tutelage?

One Zhou Yitang took both him and the mother-daughter pair Yin Tingxue... as a couple? Now another Min Ning wants to take both him and Qin Yue as father and daughter? Oh my... if one day Zhou Yitang and Da Cheng’s Min Ning met, fought for his "master-disciple title"...

The thought alone made Chen Yi’s scalp tingle.

"You wish," Chen Yi laughed with a hint of helplessness.

"Why can’t I wish?" Min Ning raised her eyebrows, full of spirit, with a hint of provocation, "Now I can stand equal with you, Chen Zunming!"

As she spoke, her body leaned closer to Chen Yi, the heat of a female knight mixed with the smell of sweat and faint alcohol wafting towards him again.

Chen Yi looked at the provocative smiling face so close to him, his eyes darkened slightly, deliberately lowered his voice, "Oh? Stand equal? Hero Min, words are just words... how about a try later?"

"Try it then!" Min Ning retorted defiantly, even boldly placing her hand on Chen Yi’s shoulder, fingers slightly calloused, applying slight pressure.

Their eyes clashed in the air, sparks flying, the tense atmosphere that had frozen to the point of ice just now unknowingly began to dissipate in this exchange, a feeling of sultry confusion began to quietly emerge in the air.

At this time, Yin Weiyin, who had been standing quietly on the side, seemed to finally muster up courage, cautiously took a small step closer to them.

She slightly lifted her eyes, carefully looked towards Chen Yi.

Chen Yi noticed her approach, turned his head and glanced at her, the look wasn’t overly gentle, but it wasn’t as icy as before, Yin Weiyin’s heart tightened, immediately shrank back, her eyelids drooped, and her body slightly retreated, like a startled rabbit, somewhat like Yin Tingxue at the beginning.

However, before Chen Yi could say anything, it was Min Ning who spoke first.

She didn’t look at Yin Weiyin, her gaze still pinned on Chen Yi’s face; though she had always had a disagreement with Yin Weiyin, she said, "Hey, Chen Zunming." She nodded towards Yin Weiyin’s direction with her chin, "This one... you’ve known for a long time, and... married,"

Saying "married," her tone paused slightly, carrying an inexplicable meaning, "how can you keep ignoring her like this? That’s downright rude."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows, unexpected that Min Ning would suddenly speak "for" Yin Weiyin, he looked at Min Ning with a half-smiled expression: "Whoa? Hero Min intends to meddle in my family affairs?"

Min Ning met his eyes, her phoenix eyes glaring, confidently and even with a bit of Jianghu people’s arrogance, "If I’m meddling, then so be it."

At that moment, the air became delicate and thick, the incense seemed to warm a bit more.

Chen Yi squinted his eyes, pressed forward, tearing at his clothes, while Min Ning, unyielding, countered by playing with the Hou Kang Sword.

The harder he tore his clothes, the faster Min Ning’s hand moved,

"Acting justly, regardless of gratitude and grudges, this time, I will stand up for this Princess Jing."

Yin Weiyin’s gaze shifted slightly, somehow, even though they were doing that, hearing this sentence warmed her heart a bit, yet she was still a little jealous, but thinking about it, it was rare for Min Ning to stand up for her, so she silently recited the Supreme Forget Emotion technique to get past it.

This little chaotic scene resolved quietly just like that.

Between the houses, the laughter grew quieter and turned into some slight panting,

"Chen Zunming,"

Min Ning grabbed Chen Yi’s shoulder firmly, pecked forcefully at his chin, then released, both hands rising in a stretch,

"Treat me well."

.........

The bright moonlight streamed through the dim yellow window, falling on the tattered clothes.

A female knight, an Immortal, the female knight fights for justice, while the Immortal remains ethereal and noble.

Min Ning said she stood up for Yin Weiyin, also giving Chen Yi a step.

Once, Chen Yi had given her many steps, this time, she didn’t want to make it difficult for him.

Her giving a step wasn’t a problem, except...

She had to be the one pressing down on Yin Weiyin.

The female crown didn’t mind it, after all, Min Ning helped her, and it was at a favorable time.

"Today, I feel like having some tea," Chen Yi leaned on Min Ning’s shoulder, asked with a smile, "Why don’t you ask her, what is chrysanthemum tea."

Yin Weiyin’s face suddenly flushed red, silently reciting the Supreme Forget Emotion technique.

Min Ning’s eyes widened, questioned with confusion:

"What is chrysanthemum tea?"

Yin Weiyin gritted her teeth, leaned in, whispered the explanation again,

Min Ning’s eyes widened even more than before,

"Can he play so... indecently?"

"...More indecent than this... they all exist, ah!"

A scene of allure, everything competing for life.
