I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 119

The sun was warm. Although the cold breeze still blew sharply against her face, it was a rare good day in winter. Shang Can squinted at the sun and remarked, "The weather is really nice."

The person next to her, who had been silent for quite some time, didn't respond. Instead, a vendor selling breakfast nearby chimed in, "Yeah, it was gloomy for the past few days, but today we finally get to see the sun."

He spoke with familiarity as he greeted Shang Can warmly, "I haven't seen you, little fairy, in days. Are the two sisters out to play today?"

Shang Can was caught off guard by the term "two sisters." She discreetly glanced at the person beside her, who had a delicate profile cloaked in a layer of indifference. Her brows and eyes were slightly furrowed, and she appeared disinclined to speak, her low-pressure aura unmistakable.

In short, Yun Duan was probably angry with her.

After learning from Nanshuang that the news about Yunzhongjun having a partner had spread, the situation in Yuncheng became increasingly unstable, particularly in recent days. Shang Can thought it was understandable. After all, the outside world was rife with rumors of all sorts, but no one knew which lucky person had picked the rare and flawless immortal body. Meanwhile, Yunzhongjun remained as unperturbed as a mountain, showing no signs of revealing anything, leaving those with ulterior motives unable to inquire and thus only fueling their frustration as they searched everywhere.

When they arrived in Yuncheng, they hadn't deliberately concealed their whereabouts, so it was only natural for them to be quickly discovered. However, out of courtesy, the cultivators, even though they knew Yun Duan lived there, didn't come directly to their door—what reason could they have? It wouldn't make sense to knock on the door just to ask if they could see Yunzhongjun's partner. Instead, they were simply waiting expectantly in Yuncheng, causing business in the local inns to flourish without giving the two of them a share.

As for this situation, Shang Can didn't feel the impending doom she had imagined. After all, she had come to terms with things recently—she had done everything in her past that she could, and there was no way to erase it. Rather than living in constant fear, it would be better to think about what to do after her identity was exposed.

But Yun Duan appeared much tenser. Ever since she first realized that cultivators were coming to Yuncheng because of them, Yun Duan had spoken less, often lost in thought as if she were hesitating about something. In contrast, the frequency of her physical contact with Shang Can had increased dramatically, almost to the point where she would lean into Shang Can's embrace whenever she had a moment to spare, as if this were the only way to put her mind at ease.

As for why Yun Duan was angry right now—

The matter wasn't particularly complicated. Although most cultivators maintained their decorum by just waiting inside the city, there were still some with ulterior motives, thinking of sneaking into the courtyard to see for themselves. Given that the two of them rarely went out, they had already sensed something was off when one such person crept up to the courtyard wall.

Shang Can didn't want such a person to see Yun Duan, so relying on her ability to cast a spell that would make people forget her appearance, she rolled up her sleeves, hopped over the wall, and directly pinned the would-be intruder to the ground.

It was a young male cultivator, and as Shang Can twisted his arms behind his back, he cried out in pain. Shang Can watched him coldly, indifferent. Before she could say anything, the person beneath her managed to ask, "You... you are Yunzhongjun's partner, right?"

It was rather impressive that he remembered this matter under such circumstances. Shang Can couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration. Before knocking him out in silence, she decided to respond politely, "What does it matter to you?"
