This was a girl who could converse with her as an equal.

Perhaps, it would be better to consider it as a mistaken identity.

Shi Qingjun was thinking whether she should leave.

She did not want to fight with Ah Qing... after abandoning the Dao Rhyme, there was no reason for conflict anymore.

But...

This is Tong Jun’s place.

Why should she be the one to leave?

On stage, Ah Qing was a young girl, suddenly shy, her face flushed red as she flourished her sword, an exquisite chaos, very beautiful.

At this moment, Ah Qing knew Yun Qian was watching her, knew Xu Chang’an had already seen her, as if she had completed a transition into another stage, revealing a delicate profile and ear between her sword dance movements, her gaze shifting, when the shyness of a girl and inner resolve merged, it was heart-stirring.

At this moment, Ah Qing gave the impression of being obviously shy, yet still insisting on displaying her dance... it was precisely the most beautiful period for a woman, just like a wife on her wedding night, softly sipping on rouge paper in front of a makeup mirror.

Filled with anticipation for what was to come, yet still too shy to look into her own eyes in the mirror.

This emotion was not something that could be feigned, and Ah Qing’s body happened to be in its youthful form, so these feelings were all from the heart.

For a moment, one could not tell how many girls became captivated by this enchanting emotion, yet they could still discern some facts from Ah Qing’s sudden display.

"Turns out Ah Qing has someone she loves." Someone mused, "Is it Miss Qin?"

"Can’t be." Another girl shook her head, although they also loved the pair of Sword Heart and Zither Heart between Ah Qing and Miss Qin, but from the demeanor once on stage, it was clear that Miss Qin had a one-sided affection for Ah Qing.

"It’s not Miss Qin... but this is clearly the reaction of someone in love."

The girls of Flower Moon Building had no other skills, but they were sharp-eyed in such matters, they didn’t even need to approach Ah Qing, or know her well, just by seeing her current expression of wanting to reject but welcoming, they could ascertain this was a girl awakened to love.

Just by looking at Ah Qing’s eyes now, you would know, she did not intend to hide her youthful heart, so how could the girls of Flower Moon Building not discover?

At this moment, Ah Qing’s sword dance melded with the environment, the light seemingly dyed red by the rouge, turning everything crimson, bringing the scent of spring.

Of course, it flushed her face even more.

Huang’Er seemed oblivious to the comments about Ah Qing from the sisters around her, instead widening her eyes in self-absorption.

Ms. Qing... so beautiful.

She had always liked Ah Qing.

But the impression Ah Qing gave her had always been that of kindness and gentleness—even if Ah Qing herself admitted that a lot of her gentleness was feigned, Ah Qing in essence was a bad woman...

Yet Huang’Er stubbornly believed her Ms. Qing was a kind and gentle girl.

At least, there would never be a second half-demon like her in the world.

Even as much as Huang’Er liked Ah Qing, what she cared more about was Ah Qing’s character, never imagining she would be a girl who could allure with ’beauty’.

There had never been a moment that made Huang’Er feel there was someone in the world whose beauty could suffocate.

Even that Miss Yun on the high platform gave her a feeling more of being unapproachable, godlike, someone elevated, not daring to let people get close.

But now, Ah Qing was different.

She had the beauty of Miss Yun, yet... extremely approachable, visible, tangible, even bathing together was possible.

Thus—

Huang’Er didn’t need to think, she was almost certain, now in the Flower Moon Building, countless women of dubious intentions were eyeing her Ms. Qing, these people only dared to watch Yun Qian from afar, only yearned for Zhu Tongjun, because they knew some people were not of their world.

But Ah Qing was different.

This was someone who could be ’attained’.

If she had known earlier how beautiful Ms. Qing could be, she would have never allowed her sister to take the stage...

Now... what can be done?

Suddenly, there was a hint of panic.

It was the panic of knowing a treasure that originally belonged to oneself was coveted, realizing she might not have the ability to protect it.

She was too well aware of the nature of the women in Flower Moon Building, different from the ’bad woman’ Ah Qing considered herself to be, these women who had seen ’great ups and downs’ were truly the bad women.

The means this group of women might employ to get close to Ah Qing, Huang’Er dared not imagine... at least, she could foresee that soon there would be endless invitations for Ms. Qing to bathe or soak in hot springs.

"No, it can’t be like this." Huang’Er clenched her fist.

Her sister’s virtue would be protected by her.

She understood the tricks of these bad women and would not let them take advantage of her sister no matter what.

"Huang’Er, what are you talking about?" Someone looked at Huang’Er curiously, "Not watching your Ms. Qing’s dance, daydreaming here?"

"..." Huang’Er did not speak, thinking that those she needed to guard against were precisely this group of women.

Sure enough, someone immediately asked around.

"Hey, Ah Qing’s expression... she actually has someone she likes?"

"Exactly, haven’t heard of her being close to anyone, Ni Zi... who does Ah Qing like? Tell us."
