Pei Wanyu was puzzled, and Xiao Yinruo was even more confused. Would doing this really make Wanyu forgive?

Xiao Yinruo felt it was impossible, but the little rascal was so confident in saying this...

Could he really be trusted on this matter?

For the first time, Xiao Yinruo was at a loss when it came to this issue.

"Master is the most important person to me," Lu Jin'an looked at Pei Wanyu, but spoke to Xiao Yinruo: "So I know best what she's thinking."

What is she thinking?

Xiao Yinruo secretly glanced at the expressionless Pei Wanyu, seeing Pei Wanyu once again crossing her arms, staring unblinkingly at Lu Jin'an sitting at the bedside.

Her gaze seemed to carry a hidden warning.

What was she warning about?

Xiao Yinruo didn't understand, but Lu Jin'an did. The Master didn't want him to tell Xiao Yinruo that she secretly wished Aunt Ruo would lower her head just once.

Lu Jin'an naturally wouldn't say it outright; after all, the Master's dignity still needed to be upheld.

So, he continued, "Master is indeed very angry, but having been aware of this for a while, she hasn't made a move against you, Aunt Ruo. So, Master not only cares about me but also considers the feelings of you, her long-time friend."

Xiao Yinruo listened quietly, thinking Wanyu hadn't acted because it concerned her dignity. After all, if she really did act, everyone would know.

One is the Deputy Sect Master of the Wandao Sect, the other is the Palace Master of Qingmiao Palace. For them to fight over a man would be a laughingstock, wouldn't it?

But since Jin'an said this, it must have deeper meaning... what could it be?

Xiao Yinruo pressed her lips together silently, watching Lu Jin'an place his hand on his waistband, his eyes gradually widening.

Really, really need to assist?

But how could she dare to now... huh?

Xiao Yinruo's breath suddenly hitched, her mind suddenly flashing with a thought, grasping the key point.

To assist... means to help.

Help whom?

It certainly wasn't Jin'an, so aside from herself, there was only Wanyu left in the room.

So, it was to help Wanyu assist.

Xiao Yinruo looked towards Lu Jin'an, meeting his eyes but unable to discern much emotion from the little rascal's gaze.

Is it really what I'm thinking?

Xiao Yinruo slightly clenched her hands, hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow the little rascal's advice.

Take a gamble.

In her view, this was indeed a gamble.

Taking a couple of deep breaths, Xiao Yinruo stepped up to Lu Jin'an, her heart in her throat as she prepared to kneel down when Lu Jin'an grasped her wrist: "Aunt Ruo, don't be nervous."

How could she not be nervous...

Xiao Yinruo glared up at him, but upon meeting Lu Jin'an's gaze, she instinctively shifted to the side.

Right, she was supposed to assist, how could she take the most important position?

Kneeling to the side, she slowly extended her right hand, her pale, slender fingers strikingly conspicuous against the contrasting backdrop.

She took a deep breath, then turned her head to look at Pei Wanyu, her eyes filled with shyness, but more so with anxiety: "Wan..."

Just as she began to speak, she instinctively paused, suddenly realizing this felt similar to offering tea in respect... only with 'tea' being replaced by something else.

Therefore, she couldn't directly call Wanyu by her name.

As a strong cultivator in the Divine Concealing Realm, and as the Palace Master of Qingmiao Palace, Xiao Yinruo was naturally perceptive, so upon realizing this point, she also understood the reason behind Lu Jin'an's actions.

It was probably to prompt her to lower her head once to her long-time rival and friend in this manner.

But... was that what Wanyu wanted?

A friend caught red-handed, was this really her hope?

Xiao Yinruo considered it from her friend's perspective and thought the likelihood was low, but presently, Jin'an seemed certain of it, so...

With her knees on the ground, Xiao Yinruo turned to Pei Wanyu, desiring to show utmost respect... but unable to fully do so, her cool brows showed a hint of respect: "Older sister, please have some..."

Her voice paused again, how should she say this?

After all, it wasn't tea... she couldn't just call it by its name, right?

That would be so strange, so embarrassing...

Xiao Yinruo racked her brain for a suitable term, and at this moment, Pei Wanyu naturally understood the rebellious disciple's intent.

Using such a method... truly he could think of that!

Pei Wanyu was speechless inside, but seeing Xiao Yinruo's actions of offering 'fragrant tea', and hearing her low, gentle call of "older sister," she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Heh... you always said I was improper, so what about you now?

In the end, you still had to submit, hmph~

Watching Xiao Yinruo's anxious expression as she struggled to find the right phrasing, Pei Wanyu found her mood significantly lifted.

'For Yinruo's nature, finding a word for this must be quite difficult.'

If it were that little fox from Qingqiu, God knows how many random, awkward words would pop out of her mouth.

"What to drink?" Pei Wanyu snorted coldly, "Speak up!"

Xiao Yinruo opened her mouth, was Wanyu angry because of Jin'an's method?

But she insisted on her speaking out, what was she supposed to say...

Xiao Yinruo turned to Lu Jin'an for help, who lightly coughed: "Strong tea is still tea."

?

Is that possible?

Xiao Yinruo bit her lip, but still followed his words, turning again to Pei Wanyu: "Older sister, please have some tea..." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

As soon as the words fell, Pei Wanyu lowered her arms and strode over.

Xiao Yinruo's heart jumped, nervously watching Pei Wanyu approach, worried she might get slapped...
