Zheng Rong opened the courtyard gate, watching Zhang Xincai and Liu Lian'er, leading over a dozen young disciples from the Emei Sect, brandishing staffs with fierce intent. This sight made her heart flutter with unease. She nervously asked, "Senior Sister Zhang, what are you doing?"
Zhang Xincai, seeing Zheng Rong's flustered expression, immediately suspected something was amiss. She stepped over the threshold and said, "We need to talk to Abbot Wan about something..."
Zheng Rong quickly blocked her path. "No, Senior Sister Zhang, Abbot Wan is already resting. Can't it wait until tomorrow?"
Zhang Xincai's face darkened. She glared at Zheng Rong and stated, "This is important. It must be discussed now."
Zheng Rong grew even more nervous under Zhang Xincai's fierce gaze. "But Abbot Wan has already gone to sleep..."
"Then wake him up..."
Zhang Xincai pushed Zheng Rong aside and strode forward. Liu Lian'er and the disciples followed suit, causing Zheng Rong to panic even more. "No, you can't just barge in like this..."
"Get out of the way."
Zhang Xincai's demeanor was imposing. She pointed at Zheng Rong and scoffed, "Constantly referring to him as Abbot Wan. Zheng Rong, are you even a disciple of the Wuliang Daoist Temple?"
"I..."
"Hmph, a traitor from the Hengshan Sect has the nerve to speak to me here. If you don't want trouble, get out of the way."
Zhang Xincai didn't give her a chance to reply. With a stern shout, she led Liu Lian'er and the others toward a room. Seeing that she couldn't stop them, Zheng Rong could only watch anxiously from the side...
Zhang Xincai signaled to Liu Lian'er, who nodded and went to knock on the door, calling out, "Abbot Wan, could you please come out for a moment!"
...There was no sound from the room. Liu Lian'er frowned and looked back at Zhang Xincai, who also frowned. She stepped forward and knocked on the door herself, calling, "Abbot Wan, my master needs to see you. Please come out..."
"Oh, who is it? So noisy, can't a person have any fun?"
Before Zhang Xincai could finish speaking, Lu Xiaodie's extremely impatient voice could be heard from inside.
Zhang Xincai's face grew somber. Recognizing Lu Xiaodie's voice, she suppressed her anger and called out, "Could Abbot Wan please come out..."
"What are you people from the Emei Sect doing so late at night?"
Lu Xiaodie interrupted her again, speaking with clear annoyance. "My 'brother' and I are trying to sleep. If you have the guts, come in and see!"
These words left Zhang Xincai, Liu Lian'er, and the disciples at the door exchanging bewildered glances. They hadn't expected Lu Xiaodie to speak so brazenly...
Zhang Xincai's face was dark with anger. Being interrupted twice by Lu Xiaodie made her furious. She suppressed her urge to lash out again and said, "My master needs to speak with Abbot Wan. Please ask him to come out immediately..."
"Can't whatever it is wait until tomorrow? Really, knocking on doors in the middle of the night, aren't you annoying..."
Immediately after, the door opened. Lu Xiaodie emerged, wearing a black lace nightgown. She casually brushed a lock of her sexy hair aside, exuding a captivating allure. However, upon seeing the group of young Emei disciples outside, Lu Xiaodie immediately clutched her chest and exclaimed, "Oh, so many people have come to call someone. What are you trying to do?"
Zhang Xincai and Liu Lian'er were stunned. Seeing Lu Xiaodie's graceful and alluring appearance, it was as if she had just climbed out of a man's bed...
Could it be that she and Wan Yunting were indeed engaged in conjugal bliss inside?
"We have something to discuss with Abbot Wan. Please ask him to come out!" Zhang Xincai said patiently, for the third time.
Lu Xiaodie cast a sidelong glance at Zhang Xincai, her expression alluring and seductive. She chuckled and said, "Senior Sister Zhang, don't you know that men are weak and want to sleep after they're done? My 'brother' is fast asleep now, and he can't be woken up. So, you should all go back!"
These words caused Zhang Xincai's face to become deeply clouded, her anger rising like a wildfire. She glared at Lu Xiaodie and coldly stated, "Lu Xiaodie, you are not qualified to stop us..."
"Oh."
Lu Xiaodie rolled her eyes at her and smiled. "The Emei Sect is known as the foremost sect in the martial world, yet you act so unreasonably? Truly eye-opening. Junior Sister Zheng, quickly, open your phone and record a video!"
Zheng Rong, standing nearby, was taken aback but quickly reacted. She took out her phone and started recording a video of Zhang Xincai and Liu Lian'er. Lu Xiaodie's eyes widened, and she pointed at Zhang Xincai and the others, angrily declaring, "I'm warning you all, if you dare to force your way through this door tonight, I will release this video!"
"Heh heh, you should also know what kind of identity my 'brother' Yunting has, right? He has over twenty million fans on Douyin. As long as he posts a video, I guarantee your Emei Sect will be on tomorrow's news headlines. Believe it or not?"
At this point, Zhang Xincai and Liu Lian'er's expressions changed slightly. They hadn't anticipated Lu Xiaodie using this tactic!
Indeed, they did have concerns about Wan Yunting's identity and his influence in the outside world. If he were to expose the Emei Sect's actions like this, while it might not be a fatal blow, it would have a significant impact on the Emei Sect.
"So, are you still going to bark like mad dogs?"
Lu Xiaodie sneered as she looked at the crestfallen expressions of the Zhang and Liu sisters.
Zhang Xincai's anger reached its peak, but she remained somewhat rational and didn't continue to demand entry to find Wan Yunting. She glared at Lu Xiaodie, who was deliberately posing provocatively and acting imperiously, thinking that she would definitely teach her a lesson when the opportunity arose.
"It's late at night, can't we get any sleep?"
Suddenly, Wan Yunting's voice came from inside the room. Zhang Xincai and Liu Lian'er's expressions froze, and even Lu Xiaodie's expression shifted subtly. She quickly turned her head and shouted into the room, "Brother, Senior Sister Zhang and the others are here to play with you. Do you want to come out and meet them?"
"Play what? Play a threesome?"
Wan Yunting's voice came from inside. Then, he walked out, his upper body bare, wearing only a pair of shorts...
Hearing his words, Zhang Xincai's face turned green with anger, her body trembling slightly. She glared at Wan Yunting, who emerged with a nonchalant demeanor. He slung an arm around Lu Xiaodie's waist, looked at the enraged Zhang Xincai, and smirked wickedly, "You're Senior Sister Zhang, the eldest disciple of Abbess Junxuan, right? Too bad, you're a bit old. I'm not interested!"
"You..."
These words completely provoked Zhang Xincai. She hated it most when people called her old. Her emotions completely lost control, and she glared at Wan Yunting, cursing, "Wan Yunting, don't get too arrogant. This is the Emei Sect..."
"Hahaha..."
Wan Yunting's laughter interrupted her. With an unyielding and arrogant attitude, he sneered, "So what if it's the Emei Sect? Does the Emei Sect think it can do whatever it wants? Disturbing someone's sleep in the middle of the night, is this the Emei Sect's hospitality?"
He threw a string of accusations at Zhang Xincai, making her face flush and turn green, pointing at Wan Yunting but unable to speak...
"Senior Sister..."
Seeing her senior sister about to erupt, Liu Lian'er, who had regained her composure, quickly tugged at her, urging Zhang Xincai not to act rashly. If the situation escalated, it would not be good for them; on the contrary, they would face punishment from their master.
Zhang Xincai, who had calmed down slightly, also understood this. She glared fiercely at Wan Yunting with her angry eyes, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
"Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
Wan Yunting said with a cold smile. He watched as Zhang Xincai, Liu Lian'er, and their group left the courtyard. Zheng Rong quickly went to close the main gate...
"Hoo..."
Lu Xiaodie breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Wan Yunting and playfully smacked his firm chest with her hand. "What's going on with you? Why did you take so long? And why are these Emei disciples looking for you in the middle of the night? Did you sleep with their prospective sect leader, Zhou Ruoxi?"
"...Ahem."
These words caused Wan Yunting to cough awkwardly. Seeing Zheng Rong return, her gaze towards him was peculiar, making him even more embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Senior Sister Zheng, you should go back and rest."
"Okay."
Seeing that he was fine, Zheng Rong felt relieved and went back to her room to rest.
Lu Xiaodie closed the door and sat down beside Wan Yunting. She asked, "What exactly happened?"
Wan Yunting poured himself a cup of tea and then recounted everything that had happened that night to Lu Xiaodie, making her eyes widen in surprise. She said, "Abbess Junxuan's intention was for you to crash the wedding publicly?"
"Yes."
Wan Yunting nodded, his eyes narrowed. "The only thing that puzzles me is, what is the relationship between Abbess Junxuan and Sima Boyong?"
Lu Xiaodie looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do now?"
Wan Yunting turned to look at her, got up, opened his luggage, and took out a T-shirt to put on. He smiled and said, "Now that I understand Abbess Junxuan's intention, I naturally cannot let her have her way!"
Lu Xiaodie went up, snatched the T-shirt from his hand, and threw it aside. She pounced into Wan Yunting's arms, her hands encircling his neck, acting coy and charming. She smiled and asked, "Then what exactly are you planning to do?"
Wan Yunting understood what she wanted. He also wrapped his arms around her firm, slender waist and caressed it unfaithfully. He smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you for now!"
"Tch."
Lu Xiaodie rolled her eyes, then sniffed Wan Yunting's body. She suddenly widened her eyes and snorted, "Did you really sleep with that Zhou Ruoxi? Hmm, no, there's another woman's scent too!"
"Not bad, brother. You had quite a good time tonight. Tell me, besides that Zhou Ruoxi, who else were you with?"
Wan Yunting, pushed away by Lu Xiaodie, looked stunned and rolled his eyes in speechlessness. He chuckled, "Sister Lu, what are you talking about? I just went to the back mountain of the Emei Sect and met Elder Jin Yu, the fourth elder of the Emei Sect, in a peach blossom forest. Coincidentally, her cold poison acted up, and I was just treating her."
"The fourth elder of the Emei Sect?"
Lu Xiaodie became interested. She sat beside Wan Yunting, her arm entwined with his, and pressed, "Tell me, what happened?"
Wan Yunting had no choice but to briefly recount the incident of treating Elder Jin Yu in the back mountain peach blossom forest earlier...
