Bai Lingfeng’s inquiry was very calm, completely devoid of any anger or doubt, as if he were simply asking out of curiosity.
Dong Yun’er turned to look at Bai Lingfeng. The latter maintained a composed and unhurried demeanor, replying with a smile.
Dong Yun’er had always known that Bai Lingfeng was strong—extremely confident in his cultivation and combat abilities, firmly believing he would ascend to the peak of the immortal path and look down upon all heroes.
But after this slightly deeper interaction today, Dong Yun’er realized that it wasn’t just in cultivation. Bai Lingfeng was equally confident in matters of the heart, certain that he would succeed and never fail.
No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he showed no fear.
It was like a blazing fire. Though it was merely a spark at the moment, the potential to set the plains ablaze had already been planted, waiting for the day it would erupt.
Bai Lingfeng didn’t explicitly state this, but Dong Yun’er could judge it all from his resolute gaze.
At that moment, Dong Yun’er silently raised Bai Lingfeng’s threat level by several notches.
Although she didn’t believe he had any hope of success, this terrifying self-confidence still made her feel inferior.
‘How can Bai Lingfeng be so confident? Doesn’t he know that anything is possible? Even I, who spend every day with Miss, don’t have absolute certainty that I’ll end up with her in the future. What absurd confidence.’
“I don’t know.”
Dong Yun’er replied calmly.
“Oh? You don’t know? That can’t be right.”
“I really don’t know. Miss only said she would go into the room with You Yuelan tonight to study magic. As for what magic they’re studying or how exactly they’ll study it, I have no way of knowing. Miss didn’t tell me, after all.”
“I’m just Miss’s maid. If she doesn’t say anything, I can’t exactly force her to tell me, can I?”
Dong Yun’er spread her hands, looking somewhat helpless.
“I see.”
Bai Lingfeng nodded and said thoughtfully:
“I was the one who lacked consideration. But Senior Sister Dong is wrong about one thing—your relationship with your Miss isn’t that ordinary. If you made up your mind to ask, your Miss would definitely tell you.”
Bai Lingfeng was well aware that although Lin Huanhuan and Dong Yun’er weren’t inseparable every moment, Lin Huanhuan entrusted almost all important and trivial matters to Dong Yun’er.
Moreover, his intuition told him that their relationship was probably not simple.
After all, the fact that Lin Huanhuan was a lesbian was already set in stone.
“Hmph, it’s not good to make certain things too clear. Boundaries are still important.”
Dong Yun’er gave a coquettish snort. Though she felt a bit pleased inside, she still reminded him.
“That’s true.”
Bai Lingfeng nodded.
“By the way, isn’t Young Master Bai worried at all? Miss and You Yuelan are in the same room right now. Even if they say they’re studying magic, no one knows what they’re actually doing. What if the atmosphere gets nice inside and they decide to study some water magic on the side?”
“If I’m not mistaken, Young Master Bai should have feelings for my Miss, right? How can you stand here so calmly? Aren’t you anxious? Have you given up?”
Dong Yun’er raised an eyebrow at Bai Lingfeng, asking with clear confusion.
“What good would worrying do?”
Bai Lingfeng shot back directly.
“So you’ve given up?”
“Of course not!”
Bai Lingfeng’s aura suddenly turned sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, unleashing an endless torrent of momentum.
No matter what stood before him, it could be severed in an instant.
“Putting aside whether they’ll actually do anything, even if they do, so what? I’m not afraid at all.”
“Even if Lin Huanhuan ends up with You Yuelan, so what? Does that mean they’ll definitely make it to the end?”
“I have confidence that even if that happens, I can turn the tide and make Huanhuan fall in love with me under those circumstances—truly be with me.”
“This is my resolve. This is my unshakable will!”
His voice was ethereal yet firm, carrying undeniable self-assurance.
Dong Yun’er couldn’t help but shudder, her almond eyes wide as she stared at him.
After coming back to her senses, Dong Yun’er cursed inwardly:
‘Confidence my ass! That’s just cuckolding, and you’re saying it so confidently and loudly. Afraid no one will find out?’
In an instant, Dong Yun’er raised Bai Lingfeng’s danger level to the highest—even higher than Ye Jinxi’s.
From this moment on, she would guard against Bai Lingfeng with utmost vigilance, giving him no chance whatsoever.
But at the same time, a doubt arose in her heart.
‘He knows Miss only likes girls. Why is he so confident that Miss will fall for him? What’s his basis?’
‘Is he confident that he’ll become an unparalleled powerhouse in the future and make Miss admire him? But Miss also comes from a powerful family and has seen no shortage of strong people. That probably won’t be the reason.’
Dong Yun’er was deeply puzzled, and suddenly felt that Bai Lingfeng’s features seemed a bit too delicate.
‘Speaking of which, Bai Lingfeng’s face is actually quite handsome, different from most boys. If he put on girls’ clothes, he might really be indistinguishable from a girl.’
Inside the room.
Lin Huanhuan secretly peeked outside through the window. Seeing no one spying, she breathed a sigh of relief.
You Yuelan said excitedly:
“Are we starting to sleep now? I’m already a bit sleepy.”
“Such a lazybones.”
Lin Huanhuan rolled her eyes and nodded.
You Yuelan immediately hugged her.
Lin Huanhuan helplessly pressed her lips together, knowing this girl probably couldn’t even be bothered to move. She simply lifted her by the bottom, carried her to the bed, and lay down together.
Soon after lying down, Lin Huanhuan felt the steady breathing of the person in her arms.
She had fallen asleep the moment her head hit the pillow, without needing any preparation at all. Her sleep quality was really good.
Since You Yuelan was using both arms to wrap around Lin Huanhuan’s waist, with her little face resting on Lin Huanhuan’s chest, Lin Huanhuan felt a bit uncomfortable. She was about to push her away by force when she suddenly noticed that You Yuelan’s face was full of contentment, without a trace of worry.
She suddenly thought of the original work. You Yuelan and her senior sister had been taken as disciples by their Shizun since childhood and were从一开始 marked as a medicinal herb, destined to be harvested.
Moreover, You Yuelan cultivated a technique called the Sleeping Lotus Scripture.
It was a magical technique that allowed one to cultivate automatically while sleeping.
The price was that the harder the practitioner tried to think, the more exhausted they felt. And if they forcibly went against this instinct, a terrible pain would come from the depths of their soul.
Only by falling asleep again and abandoning all thought could they be free from this suffering.
Lin Huanhuan let out a soft sigh, gently stroked You Yuelan’s little face, and whispered:
“Don’t be afraid. In the original work, your Shizun’s hunt for you failed for a thousand years, and it will be the same now.”
“Soon, you won’t have to suffer like this anymore.”
