Hearing the steward’s words, Shao Yumiao seemed somewhat despondent.
“Steward,” her voice was very soft, with a hint of hoarseness, making her appear particularly fragile, “Can I really not stay here?”
Steward: “…”
Being stared at by Shao Yumiao like this, the steward felt immense pressure.
The legendary Shura Sword was always cold and unyielding; when had it ever been so dim?
But…
The steward lowered his head, not daring to look at Shao Yumiao, nor did he dare to say a word.
Even though he didn’t say anything, the meaning behind his silence was already very clear.
Seeing the steward remain silent, Shao Yumiao’s mood seemed to worsen.
She turned her head and looked at Song Cha, “Cha Cha, what… should I do?”
Song Cha: “…”
Being looked at by Shao Yumiao like this, Song Cha felt a bit strange.
The current Shao Yumiao was really odd.
As someone who had read the original work, Song Cha understood Shao Yumiao quite well.
Shao Yumiao was a very strong person.
She loved swordsmanship and was the epitome of a strong individual.
In fact, throughout the entire original plot, Shao Yumiao was always a very indifferent person, never showing any signs of weakness.
But the current Shao Yumiao… just because she couldn’t stay in a house, she became this fragile? Wasn’t that a bit too exaggerated?
However, Song Cha and Shao Yumiao had a very good relationship.
At this point, Song Cha naturally had to show some concern for Shao Yumiao.
Thinking of this, Song Cha spoke up, “Sister Yumiao, it’s okay if you can’t stay in the sect. How about I find an inn for you to stay in?”
Shao Yumiao: “…”
Hearing Song Cha’s words, Shao Yumiao’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. “Cha Cha, do you want me to stay outside the inn?”
Song Cha: “…”
Seeing Shao Yumiao’s current expression, Song Cha was a bit confused and didn’t know what to say.
But Shao Yumiao didn’t need Song Cha to say anything and continued on her own, “Cha Cha, do you not like me anymore?”
Song Cha: “…”
“No, Sister Yumiao, you are my best sister. Of course, I like you very much,” Song Cha said.
Hearing Song Cha say this, Shao Yumiao’s mood improved a bit. But her face still showed no trace of a smile, remaining cold, “Then why do you want me to stay outside the sect? Is it so you can spend more time alone with your master?”
Song Cha: “…”
Shao Yumiao continued, “The closer you are, the more advantages you have. But Cha Cha, you want me to stay farther away…”
Hearing Shao Yumiao’s words, Song Cha didn’t know what to say.
What kind of situation could make Shao Yumiao say such things?
“I care about you, Sister Yumiao. It’s just that the sect doesn’t allow it, so…” Song Cha explained.
Shao Yumiao looked at Song Cha, “Then what if I said I could stay in your cave dwelling?”
Song Cha: “…”
“Cha Cha really doesn’t like me,” Shao Yumiao’s voice was cold with a hint of fragility, “Then I have no choice but to leave.”
After saying this, Shao Yumiao turned and left in sorrow.
Song Cha: “……”
Watching Shao Yumiao’s departing figure, Song Cha felt a bit flustered.
What… what is going on?
Why were they just having a pleasant conversation, and now Shao Yumiao is turning to leave?
This development is way too fast, isn’t it?
However, no matter how fast things were progressing, Song Cha still had her wits about her.
She clearly understood the current situation; there was no way she could let Shao Yumiao leave.
Shao Yumiao might not genuinely want to leave right now, but if she just let her go like this, Shao Yumiao would definitely get hurt.
“Sister Yumiao, I agree,” Song Cha said, looking at Shao Yumiao’s departing figure.
Hearing Song Cha’s words, Shao Yumiao’s steps halted.
She turned to look at Song Cha, a hint of a smile in her eyes. “I knew Cha Cha was the best to me.”
Song Cha: “……Mm.”
Since she had already agreed to let Shao Yumiao stay at her cave residence, Song Cha had no choice but to lead Shao Yumiao forward.
Song Cha led Shao Yumiao, and they quickly arrived at the sect’s core.
Soon, after walking a bit more, Song Cha and Shao Yumiao reached the cave residence.
However… at the entrance of the cave residence, Song Cha saw Chu Man.
Chu Man was standing near Song Cha’s cave residence, as if waiting for someone, or perhaps observing the surrounding flowers and plants.
When she saw Song Cha approaching, a smile appeared on her face, and she seemed about to speak to Song Cha.
But quickly, Chu Man noticed Shao Yumiao.
Instantly, Chu Man’s smile vanished.
“Shao Yumiao.” Chu Man’s face instantly turned cold. “What are you doing here?”
Shao Yumiao answered Chu Man’s question unhurriedly, “Senior, I have completed my seclusion and broken through to Nascent Soul, so naturally, I came.”
“Qingfeng Sect does not welcome the young master of the Sword Sect.” Chu Man’s expression grew even colder.
“Can Senior make decisions for Qingfeng Sect?” Shao Yumiao looked at Chu Man. “If I remember correctly, Senior is just an elder, right?”
“That’s none of your concern, outsider.”
Song Cha: “…”
Watching the two argue, Song Cha was at a loss for words.
Although she was only an Elder, Chu Man could indeed manage the entire sect, including the sect leader, without question.
But why did their argument suddenly go off track?
No, as a pure and kind person, she should intervene.
“Master,” Song Cha tugged at Chu Man’s sleeve, “the steward already said that Sister Yumiao can’t stay in the small courtyard.”
Hearing Song Cha’s words, Chu Man’s mood seemed to improve a bit.
She stopped talking to Shao Yumiao and looked at Song Cha instead. “Is that so?”
Song Cha nodded.
“Indeed, she can’t stay in the small courtyard.” Shao Yumiao’s voice carried a hint of smugness. “But from now on, I’ll have to trouble Chacha and stay in her cave residence.”
Chu Man: “…”
The smile on Chu Man’s face instantly vanished.
She looked at Song Cha. “Chacha, is what she said true?”
Song Cha nodded, “Master, Sister Yumiao has nowhere to stay…” As she said this, Song Cha lowered her eyes, looking somewhat pitiful.
Chu Man: “…”
Chu Man’s face turned cold.
But this coldness only lasted for a moment before it became gentle again. “Yumiao, Qingfeng Sect is not a stingy sect. Who was the steward that didn’t let you stay in the small courtyard? Tell me, and I’ll make new arrangements for you.”
