I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 22

Although Shang Can knew that hiding her identity from Yunduan wouldn't be as simple as she'd hoped, she didn't expect that they hadn't even set out yet before Yunduan started staring at her so directly.

Back in Tianwaitian, it had only been subtle probing, Shang Can thought. But now, it was so blatant that Yunduan might as well have just asked her outright, "What was our relationship before?"

Whose fault was this? Was her acting that terrible, or was Yunduan just that sensitive, despite losing her memory?

Shang Can glanced at the hem of Yunduan's white robe out of the corner of her eye and sighed heavily in her heart.

Ever since Yunduan mentioned the timing of when that mark appeared on her body, the two of them hadn't had any meaningful conversations.

Should she count herself lucky that Yunduan didn't dwell too much on the strange coincidence between those two time points? After Yunduan finished speaking, she simply headed towards the Yao Lord's hall, leaving Shang Can standing there in a daze for a moment before hurriedly following.

Shang Can truly had no knowledge of that mark.

...It was strange. She had thought she was the only one in this relationship who remembered everything clearly, yet now there were things even she didn't know about. What on earth—

"Hey, are you even listening to me?!"

A sudden gust of wind came from ahead, and Shang Can instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding a vine that whipped toward her aggressively.

She looked up to see Wan Shao, whose face was full of displeasure, and casually nodded, "Of course. You were just saying... after I broke the barrier, the remaining demons scattered in all directions, right?"

"That's what I said when you first arrived. That was ten minutes ago. Now, go stand over there as punishment."

Wan Shao pointed angrily toward the corner of the wall, and Shang Can shrugged, obediently walking over and striking a pose to indicate she was all ears.

"...Anyway," Wan Shao, after her outburst, seemed in a worse mood. She glared at Shang Can before continuing, "Those remaining demons have all disappeared without a trace."

"Really, Yao Lord?" Shang Can couldn't help but interject, "All of them? Just vanished?"

Her tone was filled with doubt, as if questioning whether Wan Shao had done a thorough job, which made Wan Shao summon another vine and smack her on the head in anger. "I said they're missing, and they are missing!"

"I don't know what happened with those demons. From the rumors I've gathered, nine out of ten say they disappeared as if into thin air... Do you think this is my fault?"

"Hmm..."

Shang Can frowned, recalling how the bodies of the demons she killed under the arena that day had all mysteriously vanished, and she fell into deep thought.

"It was the same when we fought the imposter Shang Can."

Yunduan, who hadn't spoken since entering the Yao Lord's hall, finally broke her silence. She glanced at Shang Can, who was still standing in the corner, and said, "That person disappeared into thin air too."

As soon as Yunduan finished speaking, the vine that had been persistently tapping at Shang Can's forehead suddenly vanished into thin air as well. Shang Can thought to herself how fitting it was that Wan Shao's abilities matched the situation so well, but when she looked up, she saw that Wan Shao had a strange expression on her face. She glanced between Yunduan and Shang Can, a knowing look in her eyes, but said nothing.
