Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 107: A Night of Unexpected Bonds

The Asura Hall Master quickly departed, leaving the hall in silence once more. Ye Wenxin clenched her fists, her emotions turbulent and unsettled.

"Junior Brother, are you so happy you’re speechless?" Third Senior Sister Liu Yansheng was the first to react, leaning into Ye Wenxin, placing much of her weight against him and caressing his skin, smoother than that of a woman.

Ye Wenxin frowned slightly, pushing Liu Yansheng away. "Senior Sister, please show some respect. Even though I've become a disciple of Asura Hall, I'm not your plaything."

"But since you're new, you must have many questions. Senior Sister here is quite free, so why not come to my room? I can teach you anything you want to know," Liu Yansheng persisted, though before she could touch him again, Qian Bingxue stepped between them.

"Here, no one can force him," Qian Bingxue stated coldly. Liu Yansheng chuckled, continuing, "Senior Sister, you’re the only one who doesn’t understand Master’s implicit meaning. To improve his physique, Junior Brother must learn to use it. Since it's inevitable, why stop it? Or do you want to keep him all to yourself?"

Though Liu Yansheng’s tone was soft, it carried an undertone of threat, provoking Qian Bingxue's icy aura, "Insolence!"

She seemed genuinely angered by Liu Yansheng, causing the ground to freeze over with thick frost. Luo Miaoyi, accustomed to such scenes, pulled Ye Wenxin back several paces and, from somewhere, produced sunflower seeds, offering them to Ye Wenxin.

Ye Wenxin accepted them without hesitation and asked Luo Miaoyi, "Are those two always at odds?"

Luo Miaoyi shook her head, then nodded quickly.

"Speak up! I barely know Asura Hall, and I'm worried they might accidentally kill me one day," Ye Wenxin remarked, grabbing another handful of seeds, watching the escalating fight.

"They were close until Second Senior Sister died."

"Second Senior Sister? Oh right, Master mentioned a third true disciple. So, I became the third true disciple because the second one died?" Ye Wenxin inquired, curious about her standing in Asura Hall.

"Yes, Master once had three true disciples: Senior Sister Qian Bingxue, Second Senior Sister Meiren Yao, and Third Senior Sister Liu Yansheng. They were very close, but then one day, Second Senior Sister fell for a man." Hearing this familiar story setup, Ye Wenxin knew it was another melodramatic tale.

In this world, she had heard countless stories akin to novel plots.

Whether life imitates art or art imitates life, she munched on seeds, listening to Luo Miaoyi recount the lengthy story.

The gist was that Second Senior Sister fell in love with an ordinary man, wanting to be with him forever, thus betraying the sect. Back then, Asura Hall's rules weren’t as strict, and the master, distracted by the Demon Lord, rarely attended to hall affairs.

Senior Sister Qian Bingxue, overseeing everything, pursued the wayward Second Senior Sister per the rules. Liu Yansheng was involved, but they disagreed on the approach.

"It's obvious, Senior Sister wanted to bring Second Senior Sister back, while Third Senior Sister urged her not to," Ye Wenxin guessed the next plot twist.
