This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The One in Authority is Confounded

"Poor He Zhiqing, a figure of his generation dominating the Complete Heaven Sect, even managing to command respect from other True Inheritors, never vying for the Chief position again.

Who would have thought that ever since he became a disciple of the Sect Master, he gained another emperor above him.

Not the master, but his daughter...

He Zhiqing doesn’t understand, he’s always following his senior sister’s wishes, so why does he always manage to make her angry?

When senior sister says she doesn’t need his help, he doesn’t interfere; when she says she doesn’t want him around, He Zhiqing goes into secluded cultivation; when she wants to sleep, He Zhiqing immediately takes her back to her room.

Isn’t this a display of tenderness and consideration?

He Zhiqing, who has hardly ever had much contact with any other girls except for his senior sister, voices his doubts internally.

"If only I wasn’t sealed," He Zhiqing touched his eye with his right hand, thinking somewhat hopefully.

As for the pain around his waist? Sorry, he was already used to it.

"Hmph!" Yu Gejing crossed her arms and scoffed, not wanting to deal with her as dense as a rock junior brother anymore. He has such talent in practicing Daoist Skill, even earning continuous praises from father, so why is he so clueless with these things?

Liang Yi and Su Youyi stayed silent the whole time, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

Yu sister’s thoughts are clear to everyone, Liang Yi and Su Youyi figured it out even though they had only interacted with them for such a short time; but brother He’s thought process in this regard truly doesn’t seem human.

"Did these two end up together in their past lives?" Liang Yi wondered, as he doesn’t remember hearing about He Zhiqing acknowledging a partner, otherwise, the player’s forum would definitely explode, but it looks like He Zhiqing really has a favorable impression of sister Yu.

The past life’s He Zhiqing was like a lone, cold pine tree on a mountaintop, never rumored to have intimate contact with any fairy.

Although sister Yu had appeared in front of the players, Complete Heaven Sect players only mentioned how the Sect Leader has a fairy-like daughter who rarely goes out, usually not seen.

"Do you think brother He is like a log, haha," Liang Yi barely hid his grin, leaned in, and quietly whispered beside Su Youyi’s ear.

Su Youyi felt his breath by her ear, her face turning crimson red. She turned around and gave Liang Yi a resentful stare, thinking fiercely in her heart:

"Brother He is like wood, you are like a stone!"

Oblivious Liang Yi, unaware of the reasons, got an annoyed stare.

"Sigh~"

Two weary women in the room sighed simultaneously and looked up to see the same helplessness in each other’s eyes, suddenly feeling like they found an ally.

Seeing the newfound closeness of the two, He Zhiqing and Liang Yi were left hanging, not knowing what to do.

Liang Yi watched his junior sister and sister Yu chatting enthusiastically, even calling each other sisters, finding women’s friendships truly strange.

"Brother He, this won’t do."

Without disturbing the two deepening their bond, He Zhiqing and Liang Yi decided to walk out and talk in the courtyard instead.

"Oh? What makes you say that?" He Zhiqing was unsure which aspect Liang Yi was referring to.

Liang Yi almost blurted out asking if he couldn’t see that sister Yu liked him? But the words stayed in his throat.

He and Yu Gejing hadn’t known each other long enough to meddle without offending, and given Liang Yi’s sense of sister Yu – who appeared gentle on the surface but once determined, stubborn as an ox.

So, sister Yu must have her reasons for not being direct, and Liang Yi truly didn’t want to interfere.

Now, Liang Yi seemed like the past life undergrad who had never been in a relationship yet theorized endlessly to a roommate who was actually in one, a master in theory but a dwarf in practice.

"Um, I meant the places you’re going aren’t right."

Liang Yi awkwardly made up an excuse."

"Can’t bring Senior Sister to the chamber of commerce?" He Zhiqing looked puzzled.

"Was it Senior Sister Yu who proposed the idea of going out for a trip?" Liang Yi confidently said with his hands behind his back, a look of control on his face.

"Yes, otherwise I would have come with Uncle Master too."

"So you thought since you were going to Qingliang City in a few days, why not just arrange the outing there, right?"

"How did you know?"

He Zhiqing was shocked; if he didn’t know that Liang Yi wasn’t around at that time, he would have thought that Liang Yi was following them.

"Brother, haven’t you thought about it? Qingliang is in chaos right now, and though it doesn’t affect the city’s prosperity, it inevitably affects people’s moods. You wouldn’t like to see people passionately clashing in the streets while you’re trying to have fun, would you?"

"Uh..."

He Zhiqing touched his nose; upon thinking about it, it seemed indeed inappropriate; they had encountered conflicts on the road as well.

"So next time, take Senior Sister to a secluded scenic spot where it’s just the two of you." Liang Yi softly urged, trying to create more opportunities for the two to be alone.

Senior Sister Yu, this is as far as I can help you.

"I see." He Zhiqing suddenly realized and looked gratefully at Liang Yi, feeling glad to have such a brother.

Liang Yi, looking at He Zhiqing’s innocent smile, wanted to teach him how not to speak so bluntly as a straight man.

But then he thought, if a straight man knows he’s a straight man, would he still be considered a straight man? He then dismissed the thought.

This is the rule of Heavenly Dao where gain comes with loss; despite his extraordinary talent and handsome appearance giving him many advantages, he was clueless about handling relationships between men and women.

Just like some people he knew in his previous life, who although were not good-looking, fancied themselves quite a bit.

"Wait, why do I suddenly feel a sense of familiarity?" Liang Yi fell into thought.

"Though I’ve gone a bit further on the path of cultivation, in this respect, Junior Brother Liang is still better than me." He Zhiqing patted Liang Yi’s shoulder contentedly, as if foreseeing a future where he no longer had to be nagged by Senior Sister.

"Where, where, just theoretical wisdom."

Liang Yi humbly waved his hand.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The two men looked at each other and burst into laughter, their friendship as men so simple.

Unknowingly, they had followed the bluestone path to a small bamboo grove.

"What plans do you have for the days before the grand competition, Senior Brother?"

"I might go meet a few good friends."

"People from other Super Forces?"

Liang Yi was a bit surprised; in his previous life, those cherished figures of the Super Forces, apart from He Zhiqing, were all elusive. If he was lucky enough to meet them and get a task, it was worth boasting about on forums for days.

Now that they were gathering here, Liang Yi naturally felt an almost surreal dreaminess.

"Of course, besides our two sects and the Immortal Dynasty hosting us, two more families are expected to arrive in the next few days." He Zhiqing smiled and nodded.

"Haha, I might also need Senior Brother’s help with introductions then."

Although it was unlikely that there were any figures Liang Yi didn’t know, formalities still needed to be observed.
