I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 98

The situation had spiraled out of control, and while Yun Duan felt hesitant, she knew she couldn't let Nan Shuang leave like this. She hurriedly chased after her, managing to block the astonishingly swift ghost king just before the city gate.

"Wait a moment." The woman in front of her showed no visible change in emotion. Yun Duan hesitated before saying, "The message just now probably wasn't about Yuan Ge—she told me last night that ever since coming to the cultivation world, she hasn't had the chance to explore. She wanted to go out on her own today to take a look. I'm sure she wouldn't recklessly leave the city."

At this point, it was impossible to hide the fact that Yuan Ge had spoken to her last night, but Yun Duan still tried to provide a cover for Yuan Ge's intention to go out.

Yuan Ge had been in a low mood last night, telling her that since she was always with Nan Shuang every day, she wanted to go out alone to think things over after dawn. She assured Yun Duan that she would never leave Yun City or cause any disturbances within the city. Although Yun Duan had no idea where Yuan Ge had actually gone, given the serious and troubled look on the flower spirit's face last night, it seemed unlikely that she would want to confront Tian Wai Tian.

As Yun Duan thought this, she attempted to soothe Nan Shuang's suddenly surging murderous aura before making further plans. However, contrary to her expectations, Nan Shuang did not ease up at all; instead, she seemed even more tense, coldly raising her eyes to look at her, with an expression that hinted at her irritation.

"Yuan Ge spoke to you last night?"

Nan Shuang's words came slowly, almost enunciating each syllable, "How come I didn't know about this?"

Her anger was quite sudden, and Yun Duan was momentarily taken aback, unsure whether Nan Shuang was referring to their conversation from last night or to Yuan Ge's solo outing today. It seemed Nan Shuang had no intention of waiting for her to respond. In just a few breaths, she returned to her original calm demeanor, but her aura was even colder.

"Step aside." Nan Shuang said, her voice cold and hard, leaving no room for refusal. "Or is it that you, Yun Zhong Jun, intend to stop me here?"

There was no room for negotiation in her tone, and it was clear she was determined to seek out Tian Wai Tian outside the city. It was still early morning, and the street vendors were beginning to set up their stalls as the number of pedestrians gradually increased. Yun Duan's gaze swept across this peaceful street scene, and her hand, which instinctively rested on the hilt of her sword, paused.

Nan Shuang was waiting for this moment of hesitation. In an instant, she zipped past Yun Duan like an afterimage and flew towards the city's exit. Having always possessed exceptional lightness skills in life, she was now even more ethereal as a ghost. Yun Duan was a step too slow; as she turned to look at Nan Shuang's receding figure, she contemplated whether to contact Chu Ming first or pursue her.

After a long pause with no response, Wan Shao hurriedly caught up from behind.

"I just contacted the demons from Bi Luo Huang Quan in Yun City." Though she and Yuan Ge had never quite gotten along, Wan Shao was now serious and said, "They will help look for Yuan Ge's whereabouts in the city. Once they find her, they will send a message, but they need to avoid Tian Wai Tian's eyes and ears, so it might take a while."

"But I also heard news that someone did see her heading towards the city gate earlier."

Wan Shao frowned with evident concern and sighed, "After all, she is quite noticeable. Thanks to that, it shouldn't be too difficult to find witnesses... but we don't know if she actually left the city..."
