C15 Senior Sister Ye Are You Willing to Listen to My Explanation?

In a distant room...

Ye Mengyu delicately removed the silk ribbon from her shoulder, unveiling the smooth, pearl-like curve of her skin.

Her neck was adorned with two layers of pale red veils, intricate and delicate, highlighting her slender frame and the pronounced collarbones due to her thinness.

However, her shoulder bore a faint scar from a blade.

"So few are privy to this mission; how did the Tyrant Blade Sect find out?"

"Is there a mole from the Tyrant Blade Sect within the Profound Moon Sect?"

Her mission was known to only a handful of people.

And it was Faang Mu who had confided in her alone.

Yet, she had been betrayed.

This was why her powers had plummeted so drastically in such a short span.

With a heavy sigh, Ye Mengyu retrieved a vial of pills from her Storage Ring.

She processed the pills into a fine powder, poised to sprinkle it on her wound when...

Suddenly, the space before her began to warp.

Before Ye Mengyu could grasp what was happening, a slender silhouette materialized before her.

It was Su Yi, having executed the Grand Void Divine Step.

Ye Mengyu: "!!!"

Su Yi: "..."

Silence engulfed the room, a quiet so profound that even their hurried breaths were distinctly audible.

Ye Mengyu stood frozen, the vial slipping from her grasp and shattering on the floor.

Su Yi was equally taken aback.

He wished for nothing more than to vanish into thin air.

All he wanted was to check on Ye Mengyu, to see if her wound had healed.

But instead...

An awkward silence enveloped them.

Time dragged on until Su Yi, with a reluctant tone, broke the quiet.

"Junior Sister Ye, may I explain?"

"Su Yi, how... how did you just appear out of nowhere?"

Ye Mengyu's senses slowly returned, oblivious to her shoulder strap silently sliding down...

"Shua!"

At last, Ye Mengyu's shoulder strap gave way, and her top cascaded to the floor.

"Ah!"

Ye Mengyu let out a sharp cry, hands instinctively shielding her chest.

"Damn it!"

Flustered and red-faced, Su Yi willed himself to disappear from the room in an instant.

Seconds after Su Yi departed, Ye Mengyu, her cheeks flushed, stealthily lifted her gaze.

But to her surprise, Su Yi had vanished without a trace.

All that remained was the Cloud Devouring Spell, lying on the ground.

"Was it all a dream?"

"Or could it be..."

In a fluster, Ye Mengyu changed her clothes and retrieved the Cloud Devouring Spell that had dropped.

She couldn't quite make sense of the situation, but one thing was certain.

The Su Yi who had appeared was undeniably real.

With this thought, Ye Mengyu cupped her burning cheeks, lost in thought about what was stirring in her heart.

. . .

"Huff, huff!"

"That was a close call."

Back at the edge of the Spirit Liquid Pool, Su Yi was catching his breath, relieved.

It was a good thing he had made a quick getaway.

Otherwise, he couldn't be sure that Ye Mengyu wouldn't have torn him to shreds.

Despite his hasty exit, he had caught a glimpse of the earlier scene.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"If Ye Mengyu ever finds out, I'm a dead man."

"No, this must stay with me; she can never know."

Just then, Xiong Yangze, who had gone to the storeroom for the Bone Forging Pill, came back.

He noticed Su Yi, drenched in sweat, and asked with concern.

"Junior Brother Su, is everything alright?"

Su Yi, flustered, shook his head.

"All good, all good, I was just... admiring the scenery."
