Ch. 27 - Senior Sister’s Confession

“Heh heh heh.”

Fairy Qingxuan chuckled. “Of course I know there’ll be punishment, but a little slap on the wrist? That’s nothing. What’s done is done—nothing changes that.”

In the cultivation world, might made right. As a Spirit Transformation powerhouse, even if the sect found out, she’d get a verbal scolding at most. Big deal.

Lin Qingyue went quiet. So this was the real cultivation world—power got you everything?

…

Su Yan had no idea what was happening outside. Right now, he just found this whole thing funny.

“You think I’m stupid?”

First, Master captured him, made him nervous, then said it was all a mistake?

“You really expect me to believe that?”

“It’s true,” Qin Yimeng said and explained everything.

The more Su Yan listened, the darker his face got.

“So Master did all this, and you knew nothing?”

She nodded quickly.

Su Yan was shocked. Qin Yimeng didn’t mean to take him—if he had resisted a little, he could have escaped. But instead…

“You won’t tell anyone about this, right?” he asked.

Sure, they got close, but it was just kissing and touching. No big deal. If they stayed quiet, no one would know.

“Of course, I won’t tell,” Qin Yimeng said. “But since we cleared the misunderstanding, and after what I did, I have to take responsibility.”

Her face turned red.

Now that she knew this wasn’t a dream, she felt embarrassed and angry.

Embarrassed because she acted without thinking.

Angry at her master for causing this mess.

But mostly? She felt happy. She really liked him.

“He’s a little flirty, but I can fix that,” she thought.

She remembered how shy he was when they got close. He clearly had no experience. That was enough for her.

Su Yan wasn’t great at reading people, but her excited expression said it all.

Her feelings? Very clear!

He sighed.

Since it was a mistake, they should fix it. But she seemed fine with letting it happen.

“Senior Sister Qin.”

Qin Yimeng looked up, confused.

Su Yan took a deep breath. “I understand now. Since this was a mistake, can you ask Master Qingxuan to let me go? Let’s pretend tonight never happened.”

In this world, a man who got pinned and kissed would feel ashamed.

But Su Yan didn’t see it that way. To him, it wasn’t a big deal—he just wanted to move on.

If word spread, it wouldn’t be good for anyone.

Her face fell.

She had done something wrong to him, and he wanted to forget it? How could he be so casual about it?

If she hadn’t realized he was inexperienced earlier, she would have thought he was a player who didn’t care.

“What do you think?”

Qin Yimeng hesitated, twisting her fingers. “Junior Brother, we touched… Letting it go like nothing happened feels unfair to you. So I… I want…”

She stopped, but Su Yan understood.

“I don’t mind.”

“But I do!”

Her face turned even redder.

She had liked him from the start but wanted pure love, so she fought her feelings.

But now, after this, there was no turning back.

“I think we should be together. What about you?”

Her hands shook as she spoke.

She had confessed so suddenly—what if he said no?

Su Yan blinked, shocked. Then, the system appeared.

[Option 1: Accept Qin Yimeng’s confession, become a dutiful husband. (Reward: Immortal Weapon Embryo—Growth Potential)]

[Option 2: Reject Qin Yimeng’s confession, call it a mistake. (Reward: Spiritual Power +5)]

These options were wild—both easy, but the rewards? Night and day.

“What’s up with this? Why the huge gap?”

He asked the system inwardly.

[This is a major branching choice. Accepting alters your fate drastically.]

That serious?

Su Yan gaped, mulling it over.

Option one was simple: marry Qin Yimeng, ditch single life, score a hot wife.

Option two: reject her, get some basic stat points.

“Immortal weapons are strong, right?”

[Beyond your imagination. Even an embryo gives you real self-defense power.]

Tempting, no doubt. But after agonizing, he picked two.

Something about option one screamed danger—like he’d drop dead the moment he chose it.

Plus, another big reason.

“This isn’t my fate.”

He had no grand ambitions—just wanted a chill life. Settling with someone he didn’t love felt too hasty.

“No emotional base—I can’t do it.”

He gave his answer. Maybe it sounded cheesy, but it was real.

“We can fool anyone but ourselves. Cultivation’s about finding your true self—you can’t betray your heart, ever…”

He unloaded a pile of feel-good fluff to soften her rejection.

“I… got it.”

Qin Yimeng’s mouth twitched. Brushed off with cheesy lines? A rejection’s a rejection. No excuses needed.

“We can build feelings. I won’t give up.”

She sighed. “I’ll talk to Master, get you out of here. Whether you snitch on her, up to you.”

Her master’s antics sucked, and Qingxuan had gone too far—she deserved punishment.

“Got it.”

Su Yan’s view of her shifted. Unreliable master, sensible disciple. That's impressive.
