Ch. 176 - Xiao Tian, Who Is She?

At this time, in the streets of Black Star Sect town market.

A silver mirror on a street stall reflected the image of a girl with clear snow-white skin.

Feng Yu Die turned her face left and right in front of the mirror, adjusting the jade hairpin she had just tied up. Then, she turned to Xiao Yunluo beside her, blinking, and deliberately asked using the formal address. "Young Miss Xiao, do you think I look good with this hairpin?"

Xiao Yunluo looked awkward. "Errr... good, it looks good..."

"Then, I'll buy it! If Sister Xiao thinks it looks good, Sister Pei must also think so." Feng Yu Die quickly interrupted with a smile as she looked at the stall owner. "Boss, this pair of hairpins? Can you give me a discount?"

The stall owner was initially happy to see two beautiful female disciples of the Black Star Sect.

Female cultivators rarely bargained when buying jewelry, and the more beautiful they were, the more readily they would buy things. They bought almost anything they liked.

However, after hearing the address "Young Miss Xiao" from this white-haired girl, he shrank his neck in fear and looked them up and down before quickly standing up.

"Miss, you have good taste. This is a pair of lover's hairpins, known as Yin and Yang..."

"Okay, okay, boss, name a price."

"Well, how about a thousand spirit stones for you? Normally, this pair of hairpins is worth three thousand."

"Hmm..." Feng Yu Die looked upward, then glanced sideways at Xiao Yunluo, signaling with her eyes that she should say it was not appropriate. "Young Miss Xiao, is this price appropriate?"

Xiao Yunluo's eyes twitched slightly, but she sighed and said helpfully, "Well, it's a bit expensive..."

After hearing what the Young Lady of the Black Star Sect said, the boss turned pale with fright and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Then, the price should be..."

...

A moment later, the boss tearfully cupped his hands, as he watched Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo walking away full of smiles. He was thinking how he had lost a month's income in just one day.

On the other hand, Feng Yu Die was extremely happy now. She spent five hundred spirit stones for a pair of hairpins that could sell for two or three thousand on the market. She turned to Xiao Yunluo and said, "Sister Xiao, do you want anything? I'll buy it for you."

Xiao Yunluo rolled her eyes and shook her head. "No need. I don't lack these things."

"Then, I'll treat you to roasted chicken later, hehe."

Xiao Yunluo sighed faintly  "Sigh..."

She and Feng Yu Die had just returned less than half a day ago.

Before she could even report to Elder Qin, she was dragged to the market by this second idiot to buy things. She actually wanted to go shopping with her fellow sisters, which would have been nice.

But now, this second idiot actually used her as a "humanoid discount coupon".

She, the dignified Young Lady of the Black Star Sect, was reduced to being a discount coupon for shopping?!

Never mind, she didn't want to bother with this second idiot. It's not bad to come out and stroll around the streets and relax. She also wondered if Ye Anping and his sister had returned to the Black Star Sect.

Xiao Yunluo looked up at the sky, lost in thought for a while, then glanced at the large and small bags held by Feng Yu Die.

She had to admit, she was somewhat surprised.

From what she had seen, this second idiot's habits were like those of a rough man. When they were in the Dragon House, she would either go to the gambling hall to play dice or to the pub to eat roasted chicken.

Only occasionally, when she saw her in the morning taking care of her face, Xiao Yunluo could see a unique feminine elegance in her.

However, just now, at the cosmetics shop, Feng Yu Die could discern the quality of the rouge just by smelling and looking at it. She even asked the lady boss, "Is the rouge fine or not? Is it ground from rough stone or ground from spiritual jade?"

You should know that in the eyes of most male cultivators, rouge was just rouge.

But in the eyes of female cultivators, rouge was divided into more than ten types such as "fat-type rouge", "powder-type rouge", and "milk-type rouge". This second idiot knew them better than her.

She also had to admit that the second idiot's taste in clothes was quite good.

"Second idiot, you actually know about these things?"

"Huh?" Feng Yu Die looked over, dumbfounded, then blinked and tilted her head. "What?"

"... Forget it, it's nothing. Pretend I didn't ask."

"Oh..."

?

Feng Yu Die was puzzled, and Xiao Tian, who was sitting on her shoulder, also shook her head, feeling helpless but also relieved.

In the Heavenly Dao Scroll, it was written that Great Master Taixu's heart was once broken by a man, and when she picked up Feng Yu Die, she was already at the end of her life span.

Probably because she was worried that after she left, Yu Die would be deceived by a man and follow in her footsteps, she taught her to stay away from men since she was a child, raising her almost as a boy.

If she hadn't occasionally told Yu Die about the "elegance" of girls, she was afraid that when they came out of the mountain, she wouldn't even want to wear a skirt or a hairpin.

Of course, the teachings she gave her did not include what was in the books Xiao Yunluo usually read at night.

Xiao Tian narrowed her eyes, looking at Xiao Yunluo, who looked innocent and pure. 'I can't believe that a girl like you actually reads that kind of book at night...'

Recalling the scene she saw when she inadvertently walked through the wall into Xiao Yunluo's room a few days ago, her face turned red instantly.

"..."

Suddenly, a man and a woman brushed past Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo.

Right now, the Black Star Sect was in the midst of its autumn harvest, and people were walking up and down the streets of the market. Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo didn't notice anything, but Xiao Tian felt that one of them was very familiar while the other had an unusual aura.

She couldn't say what was unusual. She just felt that there was something strange about both of them.

Xiao Tian stopped, then turned to look at those two.

The man was not tall, and the woman was even shorter, only reaching to the man's chest, and she wore a fox mask exquisitely crafted.

Just then, the man said something to the woman, turning his face sideways.

Seeing that face, Xiao Tian exclaimed. "Ye kid?"

"Eh? Young Master Ye?"

"Where?!"

The three of them seemed to hear a "look left" command, with Xiao Tian at the forefront.

Xiao Tian stared at Ye Anping with a frown. She felt that his figure was now indistinct as if, if she shifted her attention for a moment, she would no longer be able to find him in the crowd.

The woman next to Ye Anping was even more strange. Her figure seemed to be wrapped in fog in her vision. No matter what, she couldn't see the woman's face clearly.

You're actually using a smokescreen?

Hmph, how could a simple smokescreen fool the divine eyes of the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Scroll?

"Heh..." Xiao Tian sneered disdainfully, pointed with her right hand, and then touched Feng Yu Die's face with her left hand. "Over there!"

After being touched by her, Feng Yu Die turned her head and saw Ye Anping standing with his back to her. "Huh? What's going on? Why didn't I see him just now?"

Only Xiao Yunluo was still confused, turning her head left and right. Finally, she followed Feng Yu Die's gaze and squinted for a while before spotting Ye Anping.

However, her gaze immediately moved to the woman who was walking next to Ye Anping, and she frowned. She didn't look like Sister Pei. She was short in stature with long hair, but seemed to have a well-endowed chest...

Xiao Yunluo murmured. "Huh? Who is the little girl next to Ye Anping?"

"Well... this..."

Before Feng Yu Die could speak, Xiao Yunluo grabbed her wrist and pulled her along. "Let's follow them. Keep quiet."

"Huh?!"
