I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 28

Looking back now, whether it was the reason for her anger or how she expressed it, Yun Duan remained unchanged from before.

Shang Can still clearly remembers the first time Yun Duan was angry.

It happened after Yun Duan's first journey down the mountain. Due to the sabotage of several disciples from Qingshu Sect, she was attacked by a demon wave and even got injured. Fortunately, Shang Can, worried about her, secretly followed the group from behind; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, it wasn't easy for Shang Can to rescue her that time. The influence of the blood from her flawless celestial body made the already raging demon wave even more ferocious. At that time, Shang Can was still very young, having just returned from her studies in the outer realms; her skills were far from what they were now.

According to Wang Yue, it was a miracle that she could pull Yun Duan out of such a large-scale demon wave, and they both managed to escape alive. This mainly referred to Shang Can, as she had sustained severe injuries, with several being potentially fatal. Luckily, her body was sturdy, and she managed to endure.

Despite not feeling like she had faced death, Shang Can thought she was in good shape. However, Wang Yue strictly forbade her from entering the training grounds and took away her sword. Every day, she insisted that Shang Can stay in her room to recuperate and forced her to drink bitter herbal medicine, which left Shang Can frowning and sighing.

Fortunately, Yun Duan was not severely injured and often came to keep her company. This was the happiest time for Shang Can during her recovery.

But once Yun Duan's injuries healed, she had to return to her lessons. So, she could only visit Shang Can during her free time. At other times, Shang Can had to play the role of a layabout, wandering around Yuheng Peak. If she lingered even a moment longer on her sword, outer disciples would rush to find Wang Yue to report: "Wang Yue, Shang Can isn't focusing on her recovery again!"

That period was truly frustrating for Shang Can. But she was not someone who would obediently follow orders. Eventually, one day, feeling overly restless, she quietly left Yuheng Peak during everyone's lunch break, intending to stroll around Tian Shu Peak in hopes of running into Yun Duan after her class.

Though she snuck out, Shang Can was still cautious. She knew she was injured and her body was in bad shape, so she didn't plan to stir up trouble. She carefully controlled her sword as she lightly landed on a branch of an ancient tree on Tian Shu Peak, a common route for disciples after class. She decided to lie in wait for Yun Duan.

"Hey, how's it going over there? Haven't gotten into trouble, have you?"

"No, don't worry. Anyway, there's no evidence. With only Yun Duan's word, Yuheng Peak can't come knocking at us for causing her trouble—"

Oh, but she didn't wait for the rabbit; instead, she first caught sight of two... tortoises.

Shang Can discreetly turned her gaze toward the source of the voice and saw two sneaky disciples whose faces looked somewhat familiar.

The two of them were acting like thieves, finding a secluded corner and completely unaware that someone was perched on the branch next to them, whispering. With her sharp senses, Shang Can listened carefully and quickly understood what they were discussing.

So, these two were the ones who had caused Yun Duan to be trapped in the demon wave?

She hadn't been able to confront them before, still recovering from her injuries, but now it seemed... it was easy pickings.
