102: Me or Luo Ying, who would you choose?

"Is it over...?" This was the reaction in the hearts of many Disciples of the Liyue Sword Sect.

For their swords, which had previously been floating uncontrollably in the air, had now returned to their original places.

However, they still did not know exactly who it was, or what kind of Immortal Sword it was, that had caused such an exaggerated phenomenon just now... "Um... I wonder what Sword Immortal Di wants to say to me. That, Gu Yuan might have finished retrieving his sword too, should we go back..."

Xi Nian bit her lip and said in a small voice.

But before she could finish, Di Luoying interrupted her with a faint, knowing smile.

"What, you don't want to talk to me that much? Gu Yuan...? Heh, so what if he has to wait."

Ugh... Xi Nian blinked, feeling a bit apprehensive in her heart.

There was no helping it; this Sword Immortal's aura was far too powerful.

Whether it was her cold and elegant appearance or her pure Sword Intent as a Sword Immortal.

It all made Xi Nian feel that this Sword Immortal was a bit... well, difficult to get along with... "No, *cough*, then I wonder what Sword Immortal Di wants to say to me...?"

Xi Nian said, looking over at Tian Mei on the other side, hoping she could come to the rescue or something.

But she found that Tian Mei was also in a daze at the moment.

It's over; she couldn't count on this person either.

Xi Nian sighed somewhat despondently. As expected, did she have to face this alone in the end?

"No need to be so serious. Since you are Gu Yuan's... Hmph, just call me Luoying."

When Di Luoying mentioned Gu Yuan, she couldn't help but let out a soft hmph.

Eh...?

Xi Nian blinked and then nodded somewhat blankly.

"O-okay. Then Di— *cough, cough*—Luoying, what did you want to say to me?"

Di Luoying looked at this Saintess of the Taiyi Dao Sect, who was rumored to be peerlessly cold and aloof, and gave a soft laugh.

"It's nothing important. Xi Nian, right? Are you also Gu Yuan's woman?"

Di Luoying had always been straightforward in her speech, which was related to her long-standing temperament.

Therefore, she just stared straight at Xi Nian and spoke.

Ah...?

How could Xi Nian have expected this Sword Immortal to be so direct?

This... Xi Nian's pretty face felt slightly hot. Although shy, she still answered Di Luoying's question directly.

"Yes... He and I will never be apart in this life."

Oh?

Looking at the Little Saintess before her, who answered firmly despite her shyness, Di Luoying smiled silently.

"Then it seems Gu Yuan is truly blessed. So, you are also his woman, right?"

Di Luoying shifted her gaze and looked at Tian Mei again.

This woman had just been provocative toward her; could it be that she was also relying on Gu Yuan's favor?

After Tian Mei heard the words between Di Luoying and Xi Nian.

Thinking of Di Luoying's strange behavior after she had answered her question earlier, how could she not realize that the other woman had completely misunderstood her?

Hearing her words now, Tian Mei quickly waved her hands and said with an embarrassed expression:

"No, no! I—I'm not his woman! It's just, um, I'm his person, but definitely not his woman!"

Tian Mei emphasized it again, though she didn't know why she was doing so.

However, her reaction, in the eyes of Xi Nian and Di Luoying, was a complete case of "the more one tries to hide, the more one is revealed."

Di Luoying pursed her lips and didn't bother to expose her.

After all, her intention to chat with them this time was only to... "As long as you're not. I didn't mean anything else, it's just..."

Di Luoying glanced at Tian Mei, then looked back at Xi Nian, and finally said indifferently:

"No matter who the woman by Gu Yuan's side is now, in the end, it will definitely be me staying by his side."

Although her voice was soft, her tone was extremely firm.

However, to Xi Nian's ears, these words sounded strange.

What, was this a warning to her?

Thinking of this, Xi Nian looked up at Di Luoying and said without backing down:

"Luoying, you are truly confident. However, I return those words to you exactly as they were. My love for Gu Yuan will not fall behind anyone else's!"

Oh...?

Di Luoying wasn't angry upon hearing this; she just glanced at her with interest.

"I heard that the Taiyi Dao Sect values tranquility and non-action, distancing itself from the Mortal World. As the Saintess of the Taiyi Dao Sect, isn't it inappropriate for you to be immersed in romantic affairs?"

Xi Nian bit her lip and said in a firm tone:

"I resigned from the position of Saintess long ago. Now, I am only his woman, with no other identity!"

Um...?

Di Luoying frowned slightly upon hearing this; she hadn't expected this Saintess to be so resolute.

She had originally intended to show off her status in Gu Yuan's heart before these two.

But she never thought... On the side, Tian Mei was dazed as she watched the two of them clashing head-on.

Are Human Race emotions so complex?

This... and both of them are doing it for Gu Yuan. Um... Tian Mei fell into confusion; she couldn't quite figure out why.

However, there was one thing she was sure of: she wanted to keep watching!

This feels... so interesting... Oh, right, is this what Qing Ci always talks about, uh, Eating melon!

With that thought, Tian Mei shrank her head slightly, trying to reduce her presence, and listened intently to the conversation between the two.

But before she could listen for long, she saw Gu Yuan and Yun Qingci flying toward them from a distance.

Oh ho... Tian Mei blinked, and her heart suddenly became even more expectant.

At this time, Gu Yuan appearing here, doesn't that mean... After Gu Yuan and Yun Qingci left the Sword Pool, they prepared to find Xi Nian and the others.

"Look, they're over there. Oh, Revered Master is there too..."

Yun Qingci tugged at Gu Yuan's sleeve and pointed ahead.

Gu Yuan looked in the direction she pointed; sure enough, they were all up ahead.

Uh... but why are they with Luoying?

Gu Yuan felt some doubt in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it and brought Yun Qingci over to them.

"Sword Immortal Di, I have retrieved the swords..."

Gu Yuan took out the three Immortal Swords he had retrieved from the Sword Pool, just about to tell Luoying about it.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw both Xi Nian and Luoying looking at him at the same time.

And both of their pretty faces were filled with expressions of annoyance.

Moreover, when their eyes met, it seemed as if sparks were flying.

No, wait, what's going on...?

Gu Yuan was a bit bewildered.

Weren't things fine before I entered the Sword Pool?

Why did these two suddenly become so hostile toward each other?

Logically, it shouldn't be like this; Luoying's personality is so cold and aloof, and Xi Nian's personality is very well-behaved.

So how did these two end up clashing?

Gu Yuan swallowed hard, having a bad premonition in his heart.

Especially seeing Tian Mei snickering on the side, Gu Yuan felt even more that something was wrong.

"Gu Yuan, tell us, between Luoying and me, who do you choose!?"
