The Green Tea Junior Sister - Chapter 2

My master and I were already gravely wounded, and after returning to the sect, we perished together with the Demon Race.

When I opened my eyes again, I had somehow returned to one month earlier.

At that moment, Shen Yingying was holding the sword tassel I had given her, completely baffled. Only then did I suddenly remember-this tassel had been a gift from that traitor Qi Yan.

I couldn’t let it dirty my junior sister’s hands!

My eyes went wide, and I snatched the tassel back.

“You can’t have this one.”

Shen Yingying let out a cold snort.

“I knew you couldn’t bear to part with it. Then why were you pretending to be so generous just now? Senior Brother, look at her, she’s messing with me.”

Qi Yan stood off to the side, his face gentle, a smile in his eyes.

He really did put on a perfect act of pure, harmless innocence.

“Little Junior Sister, don’t take your Senior Sister’s things by force…”

Before he could finish, I slapped him across the face.

The crisp smack echoed in front of the sect gate. Everyone was stunned.

Shen Yingying shrieked, “Mu Ling, why did you hit Eldest Senior Brother?!”

Calmly, I shook out my stinging hand and said, “There was a mosquito on Senior Brother’s face. I helped you swat it.”

“Also.” I looked at him coldly. “What do you mean, ‘take by force’? I gave it to her myself. Did you not see that? If my junior sister wants something, why would she need to take it by force?”

Shen Yingying froze.

Qi Yan froze too.

He had no idea that I didn’t just want to hit him-I wanted to kill this bastard who had betrayed our sect.

But now wasn’t the time.

Everyone in the sect trusted him completely. If I killed him outright, my chances of success were slim, and I would only alert the enemy.

I needed to find an opportunity to expose his true colors to the entire sect.

Qi Yan was silent for a long while. Then, with his face red and swollen, he smiled.

“I thought there was some resentment between you two sisters. Now that I see you protecting Yingying, I’m glad. Ah Ling really is softhearted and kind.”

Shen Yingying looked at his face, so distressed she could hardly stand it.

Then she glared at me several times.
That night, when I knocked on Shen Yingying’s door, she had just finished bathing.

The moment she opened the door and saw it was me, she screamed and slammed it shut again.

“Aaaah! Why is it you?! I haven’t even put on makeup! You came here in the middle of the night on purpose to see me bare-faced, didn’t you?!”

I scratched my head. I really hadn’t thought of that.

So I had no choice but to pass the sword tassel I had carefully chosen in through the window.

“Little Junior Sister, this is for you.”

Shen Yingying’s suspicious voice came from inside.

“What are you trying to do?”

“The one you liked during the day wasn’t good. This is the one Master gave me the year I joined the sect. The spirit stone on it is a priceless treasure. You should use this one.”

Shen Yingying tossed the tassel back out and huffed. “You must be giving it to me because you don’t want it anymore. Then I don’t want it either.”

But she had no idea my strange behavior had only just begun.

The next day during sword practice, she deliberately tried to make things difficult for me. She threw down her sword and sat on the ground. “I’m so tired. I’m not practicing anymore.”

I looked at her with concern. “You’re tired? Are your hands tired? Senior Sister will massage them for you.”

During mealtime, she picked at everything. “Why does today’s food taste so awful?”

In the next second, I pulled a roast chicken out of my spirit pouch. “Junior Sister, eat this.”

Then she put a toad in my bed. I thoughtfully kept it in a cage. “The pet Junior Sister gave me is so cute.”

At last, Shen Yingying broke down.

The third time I asked her to come out at night, she agreed.

Beside Spirit Lake, she was all bashful and awkward, not even daring to look at me.

“I… I really didn’t expect you to feel this way about me.”

After saying that, she covered her face.

“Oh no, this is so embarrassing!”

Me: “?”

When Shen Yingying looked up again, she wore the expression of someone marching bravely to her death.

“I’m telling you, I already have someone I like. You should give up as soon as possible.”

Me: “???”

“I know I’m smart and cute and very likable, but you…”

Before she could finish, I lunged forward and covered her mouth.

Shen Yingying made muffled squealing noises.

“A melon forced off the vine isn’t sweet…”

I quickly lowered my voice. “Qi Yan is here.”

Shen Yingying froze.

“Little Junior Sister, no matter what you see in a moment, don’t make a sound.”

I led her behind a massive boulder and cast a spell to conceal our auras.

We watched as Qi Yan strode quickly to the edge of Spirit Lake. He looked around warily, and only after confirming no one was nearby did he form a hand seal.

Soon, a black shadow appeared within Spirit Lake.

Shen Yingying went rigid and murmured, “It’s a demon…”

Then the dark mass let out a hoarse, grating voice.

“The Demon Lord sent me to ask you: regarding the Spirit Sword Sect’s Mountain-Securing Array, when exactly will you find a way to break it?”

Qi Yan immediately bowed.

“Please calm your anger, envoy! That old bastard Wan Qiuzi keeps saying I’m his most trusted disciple, but he has never told me anything about the Mountain-Securing Array.”

“Useless!”

The shadow raised its voice.

“Do you still want to break through your realm and become the master of Spirit Sword Sect or not?!”

“Of course I do!”

“Then I advise you to hurry. The Demon Lord is not a patient man.”
