Wu Yingying felt speechless: "When did I say I wanted to compete with you for Senior Sister?"

"?" Yan Zhao looked at her in confusion, uncertain. "You're not competing?"

Wu Yingying replied, exasperated, "No, I can't handle such a cold personality. Senior Sister Ren is only nice to you!"

Other than putting on a forced smile for Yan Zhao, Ren Qingyue was indifferent to everyone else.

Sometimes, Wu Yingying even wondered if Ren Qingyue disliked her, but that didn't make sense. Seeing Ren Qingyue beat someone up made her breathe a sigh of relief.

So it turned out that Ren Qingyue was just inherently cold to everyone, with Yan Zhao being the exception.

Yan Zhao relaxed her furrowed brow. "That's good."

Seeing the change in Yan Zhao's expression, Wu Yingying found it quite amusing. "What would happen if someone tried to compete with you for Senior Sister?"

Yan Zhao huffed, "I'd beat them until they don't dare."

"Ouch." Wu Yingying laughed at her. "You're so domineering! You must have learned that from Senior Sister, right?"

Yan Zhao tilted her head, thinking.

Senior Sister had taught her many things: reading, writing, life skills, and common sense, but she had never taught her how to fight.

"It's not Senior Sister who taught me," Yan Zhao insisted, defending Ren Qingyue. "I usually don't hit people, but no one can take my senior sister away."

Wu Yingying waved her hands. "Okay, okay, I know you care about your senior sister. She favors you too; you two are a perfect match. You'll never be apart. Is that good enough?"

Yan Zhao's face brightened. "Good!"

All the bandits were thoroughly beaten by Ren Qingyue until they cried for mercy, swearing never to rob people on the road again. Only then did Ren Qingyue reluctantly let them go.

After passing through the valley, they were close to Yaoshen Sect.

Once she had dealt with the bandits, Ren Qingyue fell silent again, following behind Yan Zhao and Wu Yingying.

Although she didn't say much, her presence was always felt.

Afraid of unintentionally angering Yan Zhao again, Wu Yingying didn't continue the topic about their senior sister. They quickly changed the subject, and the earlier awkward atmosphere dissipated.

Upon arriving at Yaoshen Sect, Wu Yingying learned that Elder Wu was in the main hall, while Yaoshenzi was in the Pill Tower refining medicine.

The main hall and the Pill Tower were in completely opposite directions, so Wu Yingying had to part ways with Yan Zhao at the intersection. "Yan Shimei, I'll go see my grandfather first. I'll come find you later!"

Yan Zhao waved goodbye and then went to the Pill Tower with Ren Qingyue.

Once they were away from Wu Yingying, Ren Qingyue glanced at Yan Zhao.

After Wu Yingying left, Yan Zhao fell silent and didn't speak.

With an unknown emotion, Ren Qingyue asked, "Did you stop talking as soon as Wu left?"

Yan Zhao turned to look at Ren Qingyue, her face showing confusion. "What should I say?"

"... Nothing."

Ren Qingyue changed the subject. "We're almost at the Pill Tower."

Yan Zhao blinked, feeling that her senior sister had been acting a bit strange these past few days.
