I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 118

When it comes to Tianwaitian, aside from Pei Chen, who currently refuses to meet anyone, Shang Can can actually think of someone who understands Tianwaitian even better.

Although Shang Can has traveled to Tianwaitian for studies twice, she cannot claim to know much about it. With so many mysteries surrounding this place, she should be trying to find that person to inquire, but she never actually thought to put that idea into practice, since that person, whether in terms of identity or character, is not someone who could easily get along with her.

"Really showing your true colors, Shang Can."

The uninvited Ghost King, Nan Shuang, brazenly sat across from Shang Can, seemingly oblivious to her gloomy expression. In a good mood, she poured a cup of tea for her and said, "You came back and didn't even tell us. If I hadn't heard that Yun Zhongjun has a partner and came to see the excitement, I might have really been kept in the dark."

Not touching the full teacup in front of her, Shang Can rubbed her aching temples, feeling that every time she saw this person, there was never any good news. After hesitating with her words, she finally gave up halfway and asked, "... Has the news about the partner spread among the cultivators?"

"Yes," Nan Shuang nodded with a smile. "It's causing quite a stir."

Although Chu Ming had mentioned that the disciple might not be able to keep this matter under wraps, the news had spread faster than Shang Can expected. She turned to look at Yun Duan, who showed no reaction upon hearing the news, and decided to keep this matter aside for later private discussion. Instead, she focused on resolving the current trouble: "Why are you here? There are probably many cultivators looking for Yun Zhongjun right now. If someone sees the Ghost King entering Yun Zhongjun's house—"

She stretched out her words slightly, her brows furrowing seriously as she added, "Let me say this first: I will intervene before causing trouble for Duan'er."

In response to Shang Can's somewhat dangerous statement, Nan Shuang chuckled and waved her hand nonchalantly. "You're quite frank. Fine, fine. Anyway, we have no old ties; it's normal that I can't compete with your dear partner."

Her words danced around the nature of their relationship, but she showed no intention of leaving. Shang Can sighed and asked straightforwardly, "What, do you think being the Ghost King is boring?"

"It is quite boring," Nan Shuang replied cheerfully, seemingly unaware of Shang Can's intention to dismiss her. "You probably don't know yet, but the passage between the Ghost Realm and the Cultivation World hasn't been sealed up yet. Our ghost tribe almost treats the Cultivation World as a second home now, and we're all thriving. As the Ghost King, I have little to manage—oh, speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for opening the passage back then."

Her tone was quite exaggerated, and before Shang Can could react, the quietly seated Yun Duan spoke up, her tone calm. "No need to be modest. While the passage isn't fully sealed yet, the current ghost tribe's invasion is far less severe than it was back then. The overall attack feels quite mild; aside from a small number of out-of-control groups, very few innocent civilians are harmed."

Once Yun Duan finished speaking, Shang Can responded to Nan Shuang, "Back then, I just wanted to retrieve the Dao Heart Lotus Seed that was sealed in the passage's barrier. I was prepared for the possibility of causing innocent lives to be lost and becoming a sinner throughout history when breaking the barrier—but I must say, I truly didn't expect you to be a rather rational ghost; I should actually thank you, as you saved me from having many deaths on my conscience."

Hearing the two of them exchange a few words, Nan Shuang had a strange expression. Ultimately, she just curled her lips and said disinterestedly, "If I had known, I would have let them kill more people; maybe then we could see your beautiful look of guilt and regret."
