Xiao Lin really didn't want to knock on Luo Qingyan's door—if it were before, he wouldn't have thought much of it, but now... he was afraid that knocking on her door might signal to Luo Qingyan that he liked her.

His Second Junior Sister was already so fervent in her attitude towards him; if she misunderstood further, Xiao Lin couldn't even imagine what might happen.

As the saying goes, a guy has to protect himself when he's out there.

But today, there was a reason—Luo Qingyan, who was usually the first to wake up every morning, hadn't shown up even after the three of them were awake.

Why three people? Well, that's because Ning Yunmiao, who could sleep all day, was still snoring away.

In any case, seeing no movement from Luo Qingyan's room, Xiao Lin, Lu Xingqiu, and Yu Qiaoxi all felt something was off.

So, after a vote, Xiao Lin "won" with two votes, taking on the responsibility of knocking on the door.

Damn it, those two jerks, why did I agree to a vote?

Thinking this, Xiao Lin raised his hand and knocked on Luo Qingyan's door.

The door opened quickly.

"Ah, Second Junior Sister, I just wanted to see if you..."

However, Xiao Lin had barely started speaking when he froze.

Because Luo Qingyan, dressed only in her undergarments, possibly just woken up, had her collar slightly open.

Standing in front of her, Xiao Lin naturally saw her delicate collarbone and a glimpse of her light blue undergarment...

Xiao Lin: Are you testing me with this?

"Hey, hey, hey! Your clothes! Your collar is open! Close it quickly!" Xiao Lin shouted, turning his head away.

To Xiao Lin's shock, Luo Qingyan acted as if she hadn't heard him at all, ignoring her open collar and just staring at him.

What is she doing? Is she planning to assault me? Tsk tsk, the world is really going downhill... Wait, why can't I hear her inner thoughts? Is there really something wrong?

Thinking this, Xiao Lin quickly called out again, "Second Junior Sister?"

Luo Qingyan still didn't respond.

"Tsk! Fifth Junior Sister! Come and take a look!" Xiao Lin had no choice but to ask Yu Qiaoxi for help.

"Look at what? What's there to see? I have one too." Yu Qiaoxi said casually, peeking out from behind Xiao Lin and glancing at Luo Qingyan.

"I meant check on your Second Senior Sister!"

"Why don't you look yourself? Is something wrong with your eyes, Senior Brother?"

"Why don't I look myself, you ask?"

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking."

"I... you... Third Junior Brother, come take a look!"

"Senior Brother, I really can't do it, please forgive me!"

"A bunch of useless people!"

"What is it?"

Just as Xiao Lin finished scolding his junior brothers and sisters, Luo Qingyan's cold voice rang out.

[Senior Brother is making a fuss over nothing. So what if you see? If you want, I can strip right now.]

Seeing Luo Qingyan button up her collar, Xiao Lin didn't retort her inner voice with anger but instead looked at her and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Is everything alright?"

The moment Luo Qingyan opened the door, Xiao Lin noticed that her mood seemed off—as someone who had watched Luo Qingyan grow up, Xiao Lin was confident in his instincts.

"No."

Luo Qingyan shook her head coldly.

"Really?" Without hearing her inner voice, Xiao Lin was momentarily unsure.

"Senior Brother, is there something you need?" Luo Qingyan didn't respond but instead asked coldly.

[Senior Brother, I must have you! Not even the King of Heaven can stop me!]

?

Xiao Lin looked at Luo Qingyan, thinking, why does your inner voice sound even more fervent?

"We just noticed you hadn't come out for a while, so we came to check," Yu Qiaoxi chimed in.

[Did I ask you? Look at your expression, always looking like you're up to something. I'm warning you, stay away from Senior Brother!]

Luo Qingyan shot Yu Qiaoxi a cold glance, about to speak, when her peripheral vision caught a flash of dazzling white, and she froze.

[What kind of madness is this?]

Lu Xingqiu, standing a few meters away, seemed to notice Luo Qingyan's gaze and immediately touched his dazzling white hair with a hint of pride.

[Senior Brother must have his reasons. Although I can't figure out what dyeing my hair white signifies, that's the true strength of Senior Brother—he sees what others can't!]

Third Junior Brother, don't do this, you're scaring me...

Looking at Lu Xingqiu's white hair, Xiao Lin struggled to maintain his composure.

"So, Third Junior Brother, why did you dye your hair white?" Yu Qiaoxi asked again, having not received an answer before.

"Fifth Junior Sister, as I said, those who understand will understand." Lu Xingqiu replied mysteriously.

[Now that I think about it, this phrase Senior Brother often says has deep meaning.]

Heh, after me, Green Lotus Peak has another enigmatic person, how wonderful...

Xiao Lin rubbed his forehead.

"Alright, as long as you're happy, Third Junior Brother." Yu Qiaoxi shrugged, not pressing further, her seductive eyes falling on Xiao Lin. "Senior Brother, I need a water-element magic treasure and a fire-element magic treasure."

"Fifth Junior Sister, you should ask Artifact Forging Peak for that."

"I'm not familiar with them."

"But you can't just rely on me..."

"Are you giving it or not?"

"Fine, fine..."

Looking at Yu Qiaoxi's seductive gaze, Xiao Lin sighed inwardly, thinking how hard it was to be a Senior Brother, while preparing to retrieve something from his Storage Magic Treasure.

"I want Earth-Grade ones."

"I don't have any."

Xiao Lin shook his head expressionlessly.

He wasn't being stingy; it was just that the two Earth-Grade magic treasures he received from Leng Youxue had long been borrowed by Yu Qiaoxi and hadn't been returned.

Although he could ask Leng Youxue for more, he had forgotten.

So, Xiao Lin genuinely didn't have any Earth-Grade magic treasures on him now.

But, is it really appropriate to use Earth-Grade magic treasures for experiments? Oh well, being the Senior Brother, and she's a Junior Sister...

Thinking this, Xiao Lin was about to think of a way to help Yu Qiaoxi.

Then, he turned and caught sight of Yu Qiaoxi's eyes filled with disdain.

And when the word "disdain" appeared in such seductive eyes, although she didn't mean it, it still cleverly conveyed another meaning—are you up to it, you stingy dog?

So Xiao Lin got angry.

But before he could lash out at Yu Qiaoxi, Luo Qingyan took out a fiery jade lingzhi.

"Take it."

Using her spiritual energy to send the jade lingzhi to Yu Qiaoxi, Luo Qingyan said coldly.

"?"

Xiao Lin looked at Luo Qingyan, first stunned, then delighted.

Fifth Junior Sister despises me, but Second Junior Sister helps her—does this mean Second Junior Sister doesn't really like me?

[Good, Fifth Junior Sister, despise Senior Brother, stay away from him, Senior Brother can only belong to me!]
