Chapter 1356: Chapter 1456: The Dominant Loli

“No need to apologize,” Tang Qinghe said with a feigned mature and magnanimous air, waving her hand dismissively. “If it weren’t for that collision, I might have died already. So, I should be the one thanking you.”

“It was you who called me ‘big brother,’ wasn’t it?” Ye Fei rolled his eyes again but didn’t apologize this time. Instead, he smiled and said, “It makes sense. You do look younger than me. Calling me ‘big brother’ is only fitting.”

“But I’m already over a hundred and thirty years old, and you’re not even sixty. Even if you saved my life, I can’t call you ‘big brother’!” Tang Qinghe retorted, not willing to back down.

Despite being a genius cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, a rare talent in the True Emptiness Realm, she was like most women—those who were younger liked to act mature, while those who were older liked to act younger.

Ye Fei laughed and said, “You can’t calculate it like that. You’re a Great Perfection cultivator with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, while I’m not. I have at most a thousand years. So, your ten years are equivalent to my one year. By that calculation, you’re barely over thirteen years old.”

Tang Qinghe hadn’t expected Ye Fei to reason with her in such a way. She knew it was a fallacy, but she couldn’t think of a proper retort for the moment. She could only say, “I’m good friends with your master and senior aunt. Technically, you should call me ‘senior aunt’ as well. How can I call you ‘big brother’?”

“There’s no conflict here,” Ye Fei said with a smile. “By seniority in the cultivation world, I should call you ‘senior aunt.’ But by age, you should call me ‘big brother.’ Let’s just do that from now on. I’ll call you ‘senior aunt,’ and you call me ‘big brother.'”

“Humph, I don’t want to call you ‘big brother’ at all,” Tang Qinghe said, her loli nature shining through. Although she didn’t mind calling Ye Fei, her savior, ‘big brother,’ she just wanted to argue with him.

Watching the two newly acquainted individuals bicker cheerfully, He Musnow felt a mix of jealousy and amusement. She interjected, “Alright, you two, stop arguing over such trivial matters. Sister Qinghe, tell us how you got poisoned.”

She had only glossed over how she had saved Tang Qinghe in the room earlier, but hadn’t had the chance to ask about the whole story.

At the mention of this, a look of resentment appeared on Tang Qinghe’s loli face. She said indignantly, “There’s a traitor in our Qinglian Sect. They poisoned the spiritual medicine they gave me. Just you wait until I get my hands on them!”

“There must be someone backing the traitor; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to harm you,” He Musnow analyzed.

Tang Qinghe nodded and said, “That’s probably the case. As soon as I realized I was poisoned, I rushed here immediately, hoping to find a cure at the auction house.

On the way, I felt two people following me. They were both Great Perfection cultivators. I was in a hurry and didn’t dare to stop to see who they were.”

“No matter who they are, we have to expose them!” He Musnow said angrily.

The Qinglian Sect was not only an ally of the Cuiyan Sect, but she and Tang Qinghe were also very close personally. Her good friend had almost lost her life, and she couldn’t let that slide.

Tang Qinghe herself was, of course, even more furious, but she hesitated and said, “But how can we find them? Assassinating a Great Perfection cultivator would make us public enemies in the entire True Emptiness Realm. They must be hiding very deeply.”

He Musnow naturally understood this. She instinctively turned to Ye Fei for help and asked, “Nephew, do you have any ideas?”

“It’s simple,” Ye Fei said with a smile. “We just need to lure the snake out of its hole.”

“You mean, let Sister Qinghe pretend to have lost all her cultivation and leave Central City to draw them out?” He Musnow asked.

Ye Fei shook his head and said, “Of course not. If Sister Qinghe loses all her cultivation, their goal would have been achieved. Why would they show themselves then?”

Hearing Ye Fei call her ‘sister,’ Tang Qinghe couldn’t help but glare at him. What happened to calling her ‘senior aunt’? But since Ye Fei was helping her come up with a plan, she let it slide for now and asked, “So you mean we should let them know I’ve been cured and provoke them to attack directly?”

“That won’t work either,” Ye Fei continued to shake his head. “They must have people following your every move. Knowing you’ve joined forces with my senior aunt, it would be a two-on-two situation. They wouldn’t have a guaranteed victory, so they wouldn’t dare to show themselves.”

This time, both women remained silent, looking at Ye Fei, knowing he must have a plan.

Sure enough, Ye Fei continued, “The best approach would be for Sister Qinghe to suppress her cultivation to the point where it appears she’s only at the Transformation of Spirit stage. Let them think that although you’ve detoxified, your cultivation has dropped.

With your talent, you’d still be a significant threat to them. And now, with only one Great Perfection cultivator, my senior aunt, by your side, they might feel confident enough to make a move. So, the key now is whether Sister Qinghe can suppress her apparent cultivation without being detected.”

“There are ways to do that, but they’re rare and not very practical. It might be hard to find, but I’ll check at the auction house later,” Tang Qinghe nodded.

With that, the matter was settled. The three of them were about to leave, but the food and drinks had already been ordered. Neither of the two women minded staying to have a drink with Ye Fei—one had a secret crush on him, and the other had just been saved by him.

After chatting and drinking for a while, Ye Fei suddenly remembered something and said, “By the way, Senior Aunt, before I ran into Sister Qinghe, I killed someone. He seemed to be the young master of the Wujin Sect. Do you think there will be trouble?”

“What happened? Tell me in detail,” He Musnow said urgently. The Wujin Sect was one of the Ten Major Forces, and mishandling this situation could lead to conflicts between major forces, so she took it very seriously.

Ye Fei recounted the entire story in detail.

After hearing it, before He Musnow could say anything, Tang Qinghe slammed her hand on the table and huffed, “How dare they cause trouble on our Qinglian Sect’s territory! Nephew, don’t worry. It’s not just about killing some young master. Even if you had killed their Sect Leader, Left Ho, I could still protect you!”

For the first time, the well-endowed loli displayed the dominance of her millennium genius status, looking quite formidable.

However, to get back at Ye Fei for insisting on calling her ‘sister,’ she broke the agreement and called him ‘nephew’ in return, still perfectly embodying her loli personality.
