"Ling Ling, what do you think, will they have already..."
"Sister Yanyan, please speak clearly."
"Oh, I mean, will they have already done that?"
"Done what?"
"Oh, you little brat!"
Dugu Yan was, after all, still a maiden, and extremely conservative, so how could she bring herself to say such a thing? But she knew Ye Lingling definitely understood what she meant.
This girl, deliberately trying to embarrass her!
Dugu Yan was a little annoyed, "I'm worried about you, okay? Before, you could say you treated Lin Xiao as a younger brother, and he was young then, so I believed it."
"But what about now? He's already grown up! Many who married early even have children already!"
"Ling Ling, are you trying to deceive me or yourself?"
Ye Lingling was silent for a while.
She said, "Sister Yanyan, are you really doing this entirely for me?"
Dugu Yan's originally indignant voice seemed to lose its strength all of a sudden, and she said with some guilt:
"If I don't help you, who else would I help?"
She meant it sincerely.
The reason for her guilt was just that she wasn't being entirely honest.
Ye Lingling lay on the bed, reaching out to touch Dugu Yan's hand, feeling it smooth and slippery, with a thin layer of sweat on the skin. She suddenly giggled and said:
"Sister Yanyan, what are you nervous about?"
"How many years have we been good sisters?"
Dugu Yan said, "The weather is a bit hot."
"Sister Yanyan, why don't we be a little more honest?"
The room became very quiet.
After a while.
Dugu Yan said, "There is a little bit, but Ling Ling, this is normal. After seeing the Phoenix, no one is interested in other ordinary birds."
Ye Lingling nodded in agreement.
"Besides, this Phoenix was clearly raised by us!"
Dugu Yan said, "I only like him a little bit, but Ling Ling, you clearly like him a lot, yet you still pretend to be reserved. If you let go of your pride earlier, things wouldn't be like this."
"And Shui Binger only came a year ago."
Ye Lingling said, "Sister Yanyan, you're just hiding your feelings. I don't believe you."
"Besides, you're only talking about me. Why don't you take action yourself?"
Suddenly, the two said in unison:
"It's all because of you!" (multiplied by 2)
Having been sisters for so many years, and each understanding the other's feelings, the two girls were too embarrassed to fall out, dragging it on and on until their home was stolen.
Dugu Yan said, "Ling Ling, I don't think we can go on like this."
"You are my good sister, I will help you."
Ye Lingling said, "Sister Yanyan, I believe you. I know you wanted to help me from the start, but I was too embarrassed and felt sorry for you."
Dugu Yan said, "Then what do we do now? They've been meeting late at night, just the two of them, several times. Each time they stay in the Room for a long time, only returning just before dawn."
Ye Lingling chuckled.
"Sister Yanyan, you really dare to imagine things. Don't worry, they're not sleeping. I guess it's something serious, like a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"Why do you say that?"
"Hey, I'm still Ye Qingxian's daughter, are you that distrustful of my medical skills? If I can't see through this, my mom would be furious!"
Lin Xiao and Shui Binger are both still virgins.
Moreover, Lin Xiao isn't the type to have a secret affair. Besides, he said long ago that although many people on the continent are accustomed to having children in their teens, he doesn't think it's a good thing.
Liking someone requires a little waiting; and he even clamored that doing that in his hometown would land him in jail.
Ye Lingling believes in Lin Xiao.
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, "So, that means there's still a chance?"
Ye Lingling said:
"Yes, not only is there a chance, but there's also a fierce battle ahead. Sister Yanyan, how do you think we found out that Shui Binger goes to Lin Xiao's Room in the middle of the night?"
Dugu Yan said:
"Because we hadn't slept yet, we were chatting and researching the Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
It's not just Lin Xiao who's working hard.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling have also been making progress. They saw the boy moving too fast, and while they didn't show it on the surface, they were desperately trying to catch up in private.
However, Lin Xiao overlooked this.
He still hasn't realized that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are working on the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, perhaps because he never wanted to put pressure on them, feeling that with him around, he could take care of them.
Ye Lingling chuckled:
"Sister Yanyan, you still say I'm naive. Tell me, is it possible that the innocent and lovely Ice'er Sister deliberately let us know?"
"If she really wanted to hide it, we wouldn't have noticed so easily."
Dugu Yan was stunned.
After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly felt how foolish she was.
At the same time, Dugu Yan subconsciously looked at Ye Lingling. The dim moonlight filtered through the window screen, only allowing her to vaguely see Ling Ling smiling, a very sweet smile.
She seemed to have overlooked something.
Ling Ling's personality was also changing quietly; she was no longer as closed off as before.
There were two reasons for this:
First, the Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul Defect had been resolved, and the heavy stone weighing on Ling Ling's heart was gone. She had actually started to change long ago, but change takes time.
This slow, daily change was hard for those around her to notice. Perhaps even Ling Ling herself hadn't realized that she was vaguely taking on some of Aunt Qingxian's traits.
Second, Shui Binger was like a catalyst, pushing Ling Ling to grow up faster.
Overall, this was a good thing.
Dugu Yan was a little angry.
"This Shui Binger, she's so bad!"
Ye Lingling shook her head, "Sister Yanyan, we don't have the right to say she's bad. From the beginning, Shui Binger's affection for Lin Xiao has been undisguised."
"She's just more honest, openly displaying her feelings. I can see that her eyes are full of Lin Xiao, treasuring him as if he were a precious gem, unable to hide it, and not intending to hide it."
"It's us who have been too stupid all along."
Ye Lingling's tone carried a hint of envy.
"Moreover, I can guess that the reason she has such a good relationship with Lin Xiao is largely due to her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul."
"She's like she's cheating."
"Even though she spends less time with him than we do, she always occupies a special place in Lin Xiao's heart. Besides, isn't she the first girl to bring light into Lin Xiao's life?"
Dugu Yan was a little frustrated.
"Now that you mention it, it's true. When the two of us practice the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, we can feel each other's closeness. They don't even need to say it."
"I bet they're gathering together tonight to study Martial Souls."
On this point, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were not far off the mark.
Ye Lingling harrumphed, "So what? Sister Yanyan, there are two of us!"
"She's important in Lin Xiao's heart, but does that mean we're not important in Lin Xiao's heart? Two against one, the advantage is on our side!"
"Besides, Shui Binger's family can't offer her much help, but your grandfather and my mother have always been Lin Xiao's guides!"
"In that respect, she's a little pitiful."
Dugu Yan suddenly raised her head.
"Ling Ling, what do you mean by that..."
"I, Ye Lingling, am going to war with Shui Binger!"
"Just because she's allowed to take the initiative doesn't mean I'm not allowed to take the initiative?"
The night was dark, but Dugu Yan felt as if Ye Lingling was glowing at that moment.
Her eyes suddenly became a little moist: Ling Ling, she really is different now.
That timid girl, who was used to closing herself off, bravely walked out.
