I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 26

Tomorrow, the rumors that will spread through Yanyang can already be imagined by Shang Can.

With mixed feelings, Shang Can walked ahead, with the leisurely Yun Duan following behind.

Well, this is great; the demon tribe from Biluohuangquan thinks that Yun Zhongjun is the wife captured by the Cans, and soon people in the cultivation world will start to believe that the Cans have done something unspeakable to Yun Zhongjun—would she be hunted down by a group of cultivators seeking a fight?

Just thinking about it gave Shang Can a headache, while Yun Duan seemed completely unaware of the whirlwind of thoughts that her previous statement could provoke, still fixated on the earlier topic.

"Ah Can, you might not know, but Yun Zhongjun is just a title; my real name is Yun Duan."

"... I know."

Who wouldn't know? Even if she weren't Shang Can, anyone casually stopping someone in this cultivation world would know that Yun Zhongjun's real name is Yun Duan.

Upon hearing her affirmative response, Yun Duan seemed much relieved and gently nodded, saying, "You don't have to keep calling me Yun Zhongjun; just call me however you like."

Shang Can thought to herself that she used to like calling her Duan'er, but now she couldn't do that, no matter what.

"Alright, then... I'll call you whatever I like."

She sighed and conceded. When she heard Yun Duan lightly hum in agreement, seemingly satisfied, she didn't say anything more.

... In fact, it didn't matter what she called Yun Duan. Yun Duan wanted her to call her that to hide (an identity that might be exposed in a few days) from everyone else. Regardless of whether she called her "Yun Duan" or "Yun Zhongjun," it wouldn't change the attention Yun Duan attracted.

Perhaps calling her "wife" would make it even more noticeable.

Shang Can silently rubbed her temples and decided to temporarily put this matter aside.

Somewhat resignedly, she left this issue behind and arrived at the foot of the mountain, the intended destination.

"It looks like just an ordinary mountain."

There were hardly any signs of human presence nearby. Shang Can walked back and forth at the foot of the mountain, unable to discern anything for the moment.

It seemed that it had long been neglected, and with spring in full bloom, the grass and trees on the mountain were thriving. A refreshing breeze blew through, cooler than in Yanyang City.

After examining for a while, Shang Can couldn't help but frown and said, "Are you sure Wang Shao's information is accurate?"

She pointed at the lush greenery, puzzled. "These grasses show no signs of having been trampled."

"Even if those demons disappear after death, they still have physical forms before dying. If they really fled into this mountain, there should be some traces left behind."

Yun Duan nodded in agreement and said, "I don't feel any significant aura either. There shouldn't be any demons in this mountain."

The two fell silent for a moment. Yun Duan added, "But not only the demon lord from Biluohuangquan, even Jun Kunyao mentioned that this mountain is indeed suspicious."

Shang Can absentmindedly responded and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, lifting her head abruptly.

"No, the lack of traces of trampling—this is precisely what makes this place so problematic."
